was, and how sad it was when it fell down. This sentence is most appropriate to describe the last emperor. The last emperors were basically squeezed to death by the power ministers. Not only were their powers restricted everywhere, they also had to control their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Some people might say, as an emperor, can you "harden" with the ministers and earn blood if you win, and you lose if you lose. So let's talk about it in detail next.
Ancient dynasties had an irregular law-the dynasty cycle. From Qin to Qing, a dynasty generally did not exceed three hundred years, and the shortest one was even more than ten years. The prosperous ones are like the Western Han Dynasty, a little more than two hundred years, Eastern Han Dynasty nearly two hundred years, the Tang Dynasty has 289 years, the Song Dynasty has more than 300 years, the Ming Dynasty has 276 years, and the Qing Dynasty has 270 years. Sixteen years. Those who died in the second world such as Qin, counted from the unification of the seven kingdoms, and they were only 14 years old; in the Sui Dynasty, it took only 37 years from Yang Jian to usurp the throne and to stand on its own feet to the subjugation of Emperor Yang.
Qin Shihuang, the first man to be called the emperor
These dynasties always played with them before they finished playing. Of course, there are many reasons for this, and there are many contributors in the past. There are those who attribute the blame to personnel. For example, the descendants of future generations do not know the difficulty of starting a business. It is dangerous." Ming Wanli Emperor did not even go to court for 20 years.
Some have attributed great achievements, such as Qin Shihuang's construction of the Great Wall, large-scale construction of civil engineering Afang Palace , repairing the mausoleum; Under this circumstance, the common people have no choice but to turn back.
It is said that the limit of the land’s reproduction is attributed to the limit. The limit population of this land in ancient times was about 50 million. Without a breakthrough in productivity, when the population reached its peak, there would be turmoil due to survival crisis, such as the late Western Han Dynasty. The population was more than 50 million, and the same was true at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, turmoil continued, and the population was reduced by nine out of ten. The population of the Sui Dynasty was more than 50 million. After the turmoil, the population during the reign of Zhenguan in the early Tang Dynasty was far less than that of Dingfeng in the Sui Dynasty. Tang Xuanzong in the prosperous period of the Yuan Dynasty, the population reached more than 50 million, so the Anshi Rebellion appeared.
So when we look at the ancient dynasties, the ancestors usually struggled to start a business, the middle emperor enjoyed the blessing, and the last emperor suffered. Before Western Jin Dynasty, the last emperors generally just renounced their lives, and there is no danger to their lives, but from the beginning of the Liu Song Dynasty, the last emperors of the previous generations basically could not escape the fate of national extinction, so the last emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty Liu Zhu When he was in the Zen position, he cried and said, "May the future generations not resurrect the Heavenly King's family!" But in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being killed.
As the owner of the imperial power, the emperor has the supreme power to control the life and death of the people in the world. The so-called "the ruler calls the minister to die, the minister has to die." Why is the last emperor like a soft persimmon, controlled by the power minister Don't dare to make a sound if the atmosphere is only a promise?
For example, in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo rebelled, abolished the then emperor Liu Bian , and re-established Liu Xie , which was Han Xiandi . Dong Zhuo, a big gangster, recognizes force, and completely ignores political hypocrisy and coercion. Of course, Dong Zhuo did not please his end. He was killed by and Lü Bu. After that, Chang'an was controlled by a group of little gangsters , , , Guobang, etc., and Han Xiandi even had a decent meal in their hands. Can't eat it, let alone imperial power. It was in this situation that Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xudu for support. Life was settled, but the power was indeed completely gone.
Han Xiandi was the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to records, he was still very intelligent.
Han Xiandi was not without ideas, but under the eaves, the guards around him were all loyal to Cao Cao, and there was nothing he could do about it. Later, Dong Cheng , Liu Bei and others engaged in a clothing imperial incident, in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, rebelled against Cao Cao, and ended in failure. After that, Emperor Xian of Han was completely a little daughter-in-law, and lived only on the promise of life. In 221 AD, he gave the throne to Cao Cao's son Cao Pi . He lived in his own fief and lived for more than ten years before he died, which was regarded as a good death.
The Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is considered a duty. Some people may think, why not "harden" him and fight against the officials? In fact, there are examples of this kind of "hardness", such as , Cao Wei's fourth-generation emperor , Cao Mao, and seeing that the Cao family’s day is not as good as the day, Sima’s family is flourishing. "The heart of Sima Zhao is well known to passers-by." Cao Mao felt that if he didn't fight, Cao Wei would finish sooner or later, he might still have a chance. So he personally took the men and horses to kill Sima Zhao, but most of the guards didn't follow him, only a few people went there. Cao Mao still relied on his status as the emperor, thinking that others would not dare to touch him, so he had to choose to be tough with Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao’s hard-core beater Jia Chong urged Chengji brothers, "Master Sima feed you, just for today, not soon!" Brother Chengji was really iron on his head, so he directly stabbed Cao Mao to death, and then the Cao family gradually Replaced by the Sima family.
Cao Mao is very spineless, but it can’t solve the problem
Northern Wei Dynasty The Northern Wei Dynasty Emperor Xiaozhuang Yuanziyou was originally supported by the warlord Er Zhurong, who knows it has been a few days later After the emperor became addicted, he always felt uncomfortable being kneaded,So he conspired to punish Er Zhurong. One day, he sent someone to Er Zhurong and said: "Your daughter, the queen, gave birth to a big fat boy today. Come in and see it!" Er Zhurong didn't know what it was, he entered the palace without many guards. , And was killed in an ambush. Once Er Zhurong died, Yuan Ziyou was overjoyed, thinking that the power had returned to his own hands, but Er Zhurong’s party members said "no", and they raised troops to avenge Er Zhurong, besieged Luoyang City, and captured Yuan Ziyou alive. Finally strangled it to death.
Hard and spine, but the reality is very spine, and basically it is destroyed. Therefore, no matter if it is Han Xiandi, or Cao Mao and Yuan Ziyou, who are "hard and strong", they can't save the ruin of the dynasty. If the river goes east, who can go against the current?
