Who's Liu He?
Liu He, the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was born and died in an unknown year. He is an emperor, but he may be the most cowardly emperor in the history of China. He was located between Emperor Zhao Han and Xuan Di, and only ruled for 27 days. Before he could establish the title, he was deposed by General Huo Guang on the grounds of "fornication". During his reign as emperor, he didn't do anything important, so he didn't attract others' attention. For his own life, this is an unforgettable honor; For future generations, it is more like a farce, a story, and a ruler to take warning from.
Liu He's father, Liu Bo, is the fifth son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of Tianhan (97 BC), he was established as the declining King of Changyi, died in the first year of Yuan Dynasty (88 BC) and reigned for ten years. After Liu Bo's death, his son Liu He succeeded him. Thirteen years later, Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty died, but Emperor Zhao had no children and no one succeeded to the throne. The ministers were in a panic and talked about it one after another. Of Liang Wudi's six sons, only Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, is still alive, and most of his ministers suggested that Liu Xu be emperor. However, Liu Xu can't cross the line at ordinary times, and once made the witch curse the premature death of Emperor Zhao, without a monarch. General Huo Guang disagreed. Huo Guang's words, who dares to object? After some intrigue within the royal family, Huo Guang finally decided to marry Liu He, the king of Changyi. The Queen Mother Xi Shu sent a big red show to meet Shi Lecheng, Zong, Dr. Bingji Guanglu and Li Han, the corps commander, in Shanyang County.
Liu He, of course, was overjoyed at the news, a little overjoyed. At noon the next day, he led the whole family and almost all the attendants of the original Changyi country to Chang' an. In the evening, I arrived in Dingtao, left 135, and several followers died. Doctor Gong Sui urged Liu He to let them go back to more than 50 people. In Jiyang, Liu He found a chicken and bought a bamboo stick. When crossing Hongnong County, he asked one of his managers to put the good women he had caught in his car. It turns out that Liu He went to Ann, although it is said that he is a prince and wants to be an emperor. He is full of pride and flattered, but after all, Emperor Zhao has just died and his bones are not cold, so it makes sense to pretend to be sad both morally and externally. His performance was seen by people in Xi 'an, and he was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't say it directly. When he arrived in Huxian to have a rest, he told Gong Sui, a trusted minister in Liu He. Gong Sui went into Liu He's account and asked, but Liu He denied it. Gong Sui said, "Even if there is no such thing, you should kill Shan Yu. You can't ruin the image of the king because of a courtier." Liu He had no choice but to arrest the bill and hand it over to the guards. I haven't arrived in Chang 'an yet, so I didn't pay attention to my behavior, which laid a curse for my later abandonment.
When Liu He arrived at the bully, Da Hong greeted him in the suburbs and got into the carriage. It's not far from Chang 'an to Dongdumen of Guangming Garden in the morning. Gong Sui said to him, "According to the etiquette, I will cry when I see the capital. This is the East Gate of Chang 'an. It means it's time to cry, but Liu He said, "I have a sore throat and I can't cry. When he reached the city gate, Gong Sui told him to cry again. He replied, "What's the difference between a city gate and a national gate? "Don't cry. When he arrived at the East Que of Weiyang Palace, Gong Sui told him again: "The place where Changyi Wang held the funeral was north of Que Equator, where there was a north-south road. On that road, the king should get off and cry to the west. " Liu He this just promised.
After Liu He acceded to the throne, she too much sex. At this time, he is probably a little carried away. During the mourning period, he was not only "heartless", but even when Emperor Zhao's coffin was still parked in the front hall, he actually let musicians brought from Changyi play with drums. Moreover, they often sent people to buy pork and dog meat, secretly ate it in private, and had fun with the ladies-in-waiting, which seriously undermined the strict funeral system at that time and caused unanimous dissatisfaction from top to bottom in the court. Not only that, but he couldn't wait to promote all the officials he brought from Changyi and drown the imperial court, which made General Huo Guang very worried. Huo Guang and his subordinates, now the old farmer Tian Yannian, discussed the abolition of Liu He and won Tian Yannian's support. Huo Guang also called etiquette to discuss privately, and his ministers were frightened to disgrace, but they were only passive because of Huo Guang's power. When Tian Yannian saw this, he drew his sword and said, "The first emperor relied on the general (referring to Huo Guang) since childhood to protect the world with the loyalty of the general. Now that the situation is in crisis, the country will collapse. Although the general is dead, what is the purpose of meeting the first emperor? No one can give up what we discussed today. If anyone agrees late, I will kill him immediately! " The ministers knelt down in succession and unanimously said, "The life of all surnames lies with the generals, but only the military orders of the generals." And Liu, who didn't know the dangerous situation, still had a good time and didn't take any precautions.
Huo Guang led the ministers to see the Empress Dowager Xiao Zhao, and stated the reasons why King Changyi could not inherit the throne of the son of heaven. The queen mother also ordered the king and ministers of Changyi brought from Changyi to be summoned to the Chengming Hall of Weiyang Palace. When Liu He appeared before the Queen Mother and returned to the palace, the eunuch of Huangmen closed the door immediately after Liu He came in, locked the ministers he brought from Changyi at the door, bound by guards, and sent Tingwei to prison to discuss the crime. Huo Guang asked the eunuch of the former emperor Zhao to stay with Liu He at all times to prevent him from committing suicide. At this time, it is too late to pass an imperial decree to the king of Changyi. Liu He began to panic and asked Huo Guang, "What does this mean? What crime have I committed? " At this time, Huo Guang replied with this gift that it was the will of the Empress Dowager. Liu He had no choice but to see the Queen Mother. I saw the queen mother dressed up and sitting in the military tent, making the king of Changyi lie down and listen to the imperial edict. The ministers issued an imperial edict, in which Liu He's misdeeds on the way to the funeral were described, such as disorderly conduct, failure to observe statutes, fornication with Emperor Zhao's palace, etc., and it was suggested to abolish King Chang Yi. The queen mother said, "Yes."
After Liu He was abolished, the Queen Mother ordered him to return to Changyi, giving Tang 2,000 households, and Changyi's property still belonged to him. Abandon the original Changyi County and change it to Shanyang County. However, more than 200 people he brought from Changyi were all killed by Huo Guang on the grounds that "sitting without remonstration would trap the king in evil". These people are new here, and they are still full of ambitions, counting on senior officials in Liu He to sit and ride. At this time, when they saw that the situation was wrong, they didn't feel rude. Instead, they blamed the host and cried in the street, "If you don't stop, it will be chaotic!"
After Liu He was abolished, Huo Guangli made Liu Bingyi (later changed to Liu Xun), the great grandson of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, emperor, known as Xuan Di in history. After Liu Xun acceded to the throne, he learned the lesson from Liu He and rewarded Huo Guangda, saying that he was "loyal to the Soviet Union and virtuous". Hold a festival to uphold justice and build an ancestral temple, seal him 20,000 food cities, and reward him with "7,000 kilograms of gold, 60 million yuan, 30,000 miscellaneous horses, 170 handmaiden and 2,000 horses, the first district". The North Korean official who relies entirely on him politically "turned off the white light first, and then played the imperial emperor." Huo Guang was relieved of him and gradually relaxed his vigilance. Xuan Di's regime gradually stabilized. However, after Huo Guang's death, Xuan Di gradually eliminated his henchmen, and bit by bit firmly grasped the political power in his own hands.
When Emperor Xuandi ascended the throne, he was very afraid of Liu He. In the second year of Yuankang (the first 64 years), please report the situation of Liu He to Zhang Chang, the satrap of Shanyang. Zhang Chang said that Liu He was an idiot because he was ugly, disheveled, depressed and frivolous. So Xuan Di thought that Liu He was not worried, and gradually changed his attitude. In order to show his magnanimity, in the second year, Liu He changed its name to Zhang Yu (Zhang Yu: county name, governing Nanchang), with 4,000 food cities, which were inherited by descendants. Later, it continued until the period of Wang Mang.
Liu He was abolished for two reasons: first, he was not cut out to be an emperor at all. When he first heard that he was going to be emperor, he was a little frivolous, thinking that he was in power and could do whatever he wanted. On the way to the funeral, I still have the heart to collect beautiful women, seek rare birds and treasures, and pay no attention to my identity at all. You should know that you are not an emperor yet, and the people in the DPRK are around, and you may report things that are unfavorable to you to the Queen Mother at any time. When he became emperor, he did not try to consolidate his political power, but continued to enjoy himself and lost the opportunity to win over ministers. The second is political reasons. If Liu He is good at sizing up the situation, he will find that the most powerful person in the imperial court at that time was not the Empress Dowager or Prime Minister Yang Chang, but Fu and General Huo Guang. Huo Guang is the younger brother of Huo Qubing, a title of generals in ancient times in Han Dynasty. He is in power, and "the party and relatives are connected, according to". Without his support, it is impossible for Liu He to sit on the throne. When he first ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to put his cronies brought from Changyi in various important positions, treating Huo Guang as nothing, which caused Huo Guang's dissatisfaction and eventually led to his resignation. At this point, he is far less clever than his successor, Liu Xun.
Liu He's people, Gong Sui is a sober figure, he would have advised Liu He to pay attention to their own behavior. He once said: "The survival of the country depends on my words." ? His Majesty read 300 poems. Which one do your words and deeds conform to? The king is a vassal, but his behavior is not as good as ordinary people. It's hard to survive, and it's easy to die. May the king reflect. "After Liu He acceded to the throne, he dreamed that the excrement of the green fly had accumulated on the steps. Gong Sui took the opportunity to interpret his dream and said, "Poetry says,' Ying Qingfei, as for Francisco; Mr. Panda Kai Kai, don't believe slanderers'. This is because there are too many people in front of your majesty. We should be close to the descendants of the first emperor's ministers and not just listen to the words of our old friends in Changyi. If you want to turn disasters into happiness, you should exile them all. If the king is willing to exile them, then the minister is the first person to be exiled. "This shows that Gong Sui has seen the danger, because he knows that Liu He has brought a mob from Changyi, which will only do bad things. But Liu He didn't listen to Gong Sui's advice and was eventually abolished.
Although Liu He is a loser, he is not at ease about losing the throne. A few years later, when chatting with Yangzhou secretariat Sun, Sun asked him, "When you were abolished, why didn't you stick to the palace and kill the general (referring to Huo Guang) first?" Liu He was very remorseful and said, "Yes, the opportunity has been lost!" Unexpectedly, this conversation reached the emperor's ears again. He immediately wrote a letter saying, "Cut 3,000 households." Liu He was hit by this and soon died.
Because Liu He was banished to Nanchang, Jiangsu, thousands of miles away from Changyi, it is impossible for him to be buried and enjoy such a mausoleum. Therefore, for more than two thousand years, there is only an abandoned tomb left here, which shows the superb skills of ancient craftsmen and provides shade for future generations. As for the owner of this tomb, how many people will pay attention to him?
