Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 269 Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in Hell Mode
Tracing back to China, talking about ancient and modern times.

Deep in the Chang'an City Palace 2000 years ago, more than 30 emperors of the Han Dynasty gathered and filled the hall.

These sons of heaven got up one after another, walked in the central aisle, and commented on their achievements in life.

At this time, it was the turn of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The so-called Qin Huang Han Wu, Han Wudi did have the capital to brag, so at this time he is drifting again.

Perhaps it was because of the great achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that his great-grandfather Liu Bang couldn't stand it anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush down to beat people.

Facing the menacing great-grandfather, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also taken aback, and hurried back to his seat to end his publicity of achievements.

Then it was the turn of Emperor Zhaodi Liu Fuling of the Han Dynasty, and Liu He, the first Marquis of Haihun.

For Liu He, everyone's perception may be the famous "Haihunhou Tomb" incident.

of course.

As the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this Liu He is definitely a miracle. He reigned for only 27 days, and was deposed because of his excessive lewdness and failure to protect the country. , after his death, those courtiers gave him an "insulting" title--Emperor Han Fei.

"Host, the big man emperor is here, why did you even summon him?"

"Abandoned emperor of the Han Dynasty? Or the ancients would name it."

"Didn't you see it? Hearing that his grandson has such a useless emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han's face turned black."

"If I were Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I would be ashamed to face people."

"I'm not mistaken, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is hiding his face, so embarrassed that he almost cut out three rooms and two halls in place."

"This master's appearance is purely to gather the number of people."

"Hey, if you let me go back to ancient times and let me be the emperor for 27 days, I am also willing."

"Brother, you look ugly, but you want to be beautiful."

"Three thousand concubines in the harem, only 27 days, not enough!"

……

Fortunately, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has produced a great figure who is a peerless emperor——Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!

The national oak in the Han Dynasty lasted for more than [-] years.

I want to ask which emperor had the most prosperous economy, the most vast territory, and the most populous era during his reign?

Some say it was the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

No.

At the peak of the Han Dynasty, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was actually Liu Bingji, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

Speaking of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, most people would not know that there was such an emperor if they did not know the history of the Western Han Dynasty.

The powerful and prosperous Western Han Dynasty reached its peak of glory during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

But such an enlightened king in a prosperous age is unknown to most people.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty walked to the central aisle of the crowd, and as soon as he said a word, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't help but get up, staring at his dragon eyes, and asked excitedly,
"Great-grandson, you mean, you've been in prison?"

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not shy away from it, and replied, "Back to the ancestor, he was already sick in his infancy, and he was indeed spent in prison."

Lin Feng took advantage of the situation and said, "Yes, the only emperor in Chinese history who has been imprisoned is Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty."

In the history of the feudal dynasty for more than 2000 years, among the emperors who have been imprisoned, Liu Bing is the only one.

Without the former, there will be no later ones.

Calling him "grandfather", he did not call his great-grandfather as affectionately as others.

can see.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty still had a lot of prejudice against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

A "Witch Gu disaster" killed all the relatives of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!How could it be so easy to forgive?

The emperors in ancient my country were the dream professions of countless people. They stood at the top of the feudal society and commanded the wind and rain, enjoying extremely high power.

However, it is very difficult to become an emperor. The founding emperors of all dynasties almost all fought bloody battles on the battlefield in exchange for the throne.

Apart from them, people in peaceful times want to inherit the great rule. In most cases, they not only need the status of the eldest son, but also need outstanding abilities and extraordinary luck.

In ancient China, most of the time, the heir was determined according to the eldest son inheritance system.

Under this system, if you want to succeed to the throne, you have to be the eldest son. If there is no eldest son or he dies early or is deposed, then you must have outstanding ability and character and be appreciated by the emperor if you want to succeed to the throne.Even so, there is no guarantee of succession, and luck is also very important in the dangerous court.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is even more difficult!
When he was born, he was in the most difficult "hell mode."

He lost almost all his relatives when he was still in his infancy, and he survived only when he was raised by female prisoners.

In 91 BC, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of the prime minister at the time, Gongsun He, was accused by Chang'an chivalrous Zhu Anshi of having an affair with Princess Yangshi.

These crimes are all felonies enough to constitute the death penalty. Both Gongsun He and his son were put in prison and executed.

Because Gongsun Jingsheng is also the nephew of Queen Wei Zifu, the Wei family was also implicated.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty executed the two princesses and Wei Qing's eldest son, Mrs. Wei, but he was still not at ease. The treacherous minister Jiang Chong insisted that his illness was caused by the curse of witchcraft, so the old and dizzy Emperor Wu sent him to investigate the matter thoroughly.

In the end, many important members of the royal family, including Empress Wei and Prince Liu Ju, could not escape death.

However, one of Liu Zheng's grandsons survived by luck because he was just born. He is the Liu Bingji we want to talk about.

Because he was still in his infancy, he encountered the chaos of witchcraft. Liu Bingji's grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, aunt and other relatives were all executed, and he was also "sitting in the county prison", that is, he was imprisoned in the In the temporary prison set up in Chang'an.

Soon, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Bing Ji and asked him to go to the prison to continue investigating the witchcraft case.

But Bing Ji knew in his heart that the charges against Liu Ju were not true, and it was pity that Liu Bingji had been implicated innocently since he was born, so he treated him very well.

At that time, Liu Bing, who was still a baby, had no mother, so naturally there would be no nanny for him in prison.

Bing Ji then "makes the female apprentice return to Zhao Zhengqing in Huaiyang, and the Hu group in Weicheng to be more breastfeeding".Under the joint upbringing of two female prisoners and the special care of Bing Ji, Liu Bing grew up slowly. When he was less than five years old, a person who was good at "looking up" told Emperor Wu that there was a prison in Chang'an. With the spirit of the Son of Heaven, the emperor will appear.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had long forgotten the existence of Liu Bingji.

He was afraid that the prisoners in the prison would become emperors, so he immediately ordered that all the prisoners in the prison be executed regardless of the severity of their crimes.

Facing Guo Zhen, the special envoy sent by Emperor Wu, Bing Ji closed the door tightly, and said: "The emperor's great-grandson is still here, but it is better for others to blame the dead, not to mention the great-grandson!" In the end, Bing Ji guarded the door all day and night, and Emperor Wu knew that his great-grandson was still alive after hearing about it, so he announced amnesty for the prisoners in prison.

Soon after, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty passed away, and before his death, he appointed Huo Guang as Minister Tuogu.

Then he issued an imperial edict for Liu Bingji: "Yeting Yangshi, who belongs to Zongzheng."
That is to say, it was sent to Yeting, where the court ladies lived, and entered into the royal family tree to recognize its existence.

Later, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty died of illness, and Huo Guang, the assistant minister, found Liu He, the grandson of Emperor Wu, to succeed him. However, he committed more than a thousand crimes in just 27 days of his reign, and he did not look like an emperor at all.

Huo Guang deposed him and found Liu Bingji instead.

Therefore, Liu Bingji succeeded in this way and became the new king of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was very tough on the issue of the Huns. When the Huns resurged in the north, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty often sent troops to control the Huns, but his methods were obviously much stronger than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

He divided his troops into five groups, and dealt a fatal blow to the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu who beat him abruptly turned out to be the Han Dynasty negotiating peace and expressing his willingness to become a minister. You know, this is something that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not do, but he did it during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. arrive,

"The people of the Han Dynasty, in the era of the emperor's rule, did they have the highest happiness index?"

"It must have been during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty."

Regarding Lin Feng's remarks.

All the emperors of the Han Dynasty were dumbfounded and seemed unbelievable.

"Mr. Lin, so Liu Bing is already at the top of the list? Can you get the treasure in the iron box?"

Liu Bang asked, his tone was not dissatisfied.

On the contrary, Liu Bang admired Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty very much, and then praised this "great...great-grandson".

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is suffering!
Both are great-grandchildren...

Emperor Gaozu, you praised Liu for his illness, but why did you have such a big opinion of me, Liu Che?

At this time, Geng Ran, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to feel aggrieved, and Liu Bang directly issued orders, "Liu is sick, this iron box from later generations belongs to you."

Then Liu Bang looked around at the others, "You all have no objections, do you?"

Surely someone has an opinion.

But who dares to disobey the decision of their own emperor Gaozu?

In this way, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who started the "hell mode", successfully harvested "an iron box"!
