"Hanshu " records that Liu He reigned for 27 days and did 1,127 bad things.

On average, Liu He has to do 42 bad things every day. Even if he is so bad, he will not do bad things day and night, or more than a thousand bad things in less than a month.

Twenty-seven days since the seal was received, the envoy next to the noon and held a royal edict to collect all the officials' offices, with a total of 1,127 matters.

Let’s take a look again. What bad things did Liu He do?

First, during the funeral of Emperor Zhao of Han, he ate meat dishes, drank alcohol, and secretly bought chicken and pork.

未分类, the heart of sorrow was destroyed, the friendship was abolished, and the residence was not vegetarian, so the official woman carried clothes and carriages, and the residence was passed down. At the beginning of his visit, he was appointed as the crown prince and often bought chickens and pigs for food.

Second, playing musical instruments and singing during the funeral.

Finally summarized: Liu He lost the etiquette of the emperor, disrupted the Han family system, endangered the country, and led to uneasiness in the world. In short, it was a great crime.

is debauchery, loses the etiquette of emperors, and disrupts the system of the man. The ministers and others made several suggestions, but did not change, and became increasingly worse, and they were afraid that the country would be in danger and the world would be uneasy.

Are these crimes real or fake? In fact, it is obviously doubtful.

First of all, 1127 bad things were done in 27 days, and most people really couldn’t do it. Just imagine, can you do 42 bad things every day and do it for a month?

Secondly, Liu He himself does not feel guilty at all. When Liu He's subordinates were taken down, Liu He's reaction was confused. "What crime do I have? Why do I call me?"

The king did not know that he should be abolished, and said to his left and right: "How can I offend the ministers and officials, and the generals will do it all?" After a while, the empress dowager ordered the king to summon the king. When the king heard the summoning, he was afraid, so he said, "How can I offend me and call me!"

Huo Guang stills

Of course, it can also be understood as Liu He was too thick-skinned and pretended not to know that he was guilty, but it is more likely that Liu He did not have much fault in these 27 days (maybe he had really secretly bought chicken and pork), and Liu He did not feel that he was deposed.

Finally, according to the records of historical books, Huo Guang's destruction of Liu He was a complete court coup.

Let’s see what happened that day.

controls the city gate, sends troops to capture Liu He's subordinates, arranges soldiers to take weapons to the hall, and kills all the ministers under Liu He's subordinates.

This is the power struggle for the palace coup as if it were fake!

The first step is to control the gate of the palace city, and only let Changyi King Liu He enters the palace alone, blocking Liu He's ministers outside the door.

The Empress Dowager was so lucky that the Empress Dowager would not be allowed to stay in the palace of Chengming.When the king entered the court, the empress dowager returned and rode a chariot to return to the greenhouse. The eunuchs in the Yellow Gate held the door leaf. When the king entered, the door was closed, and the ministers in Changyi were not allowed to enter.

Step 2, arrange for Yulin Army to arrest more than 200 ministers under Liu He and send them to prison.

Car General An Shi General Yulin Carry and tied up more than 200 people, all of whom were sent to the imperial magistrate.

The third step is to arrange hundreds of soldiers holding weapons in the hall, and His Highness arranges warriors with halberds. This is a shady force threat.

The Empress Dowager was beaded robes, and she sat in the military tent. Hundreds of attendants were holding soldiers. The warriors in his door were displayed on His Highness.

The fourth step is to depose Liu He and kill more than 200 Liu He's ministers.

Changyi ministers were in danger of being tutored, and they captured the king in evil, and Guang killed more than 200 people. After death, the calligrapher said, "If you stop, you will suffer the chaos."

Changyi ministers are very interesting, shouting, "If you stop, you will suffer the chaos." It can also be seen that things are far from being as simple as Liu He's devilishness and being abolished. The short sentence "If you stop, you will suffer the chaos" may also reflect some of the sword lights and shadows of Liu He's struggle against Huo Guang's power.

A child emperor without real power knows that Huo Guang is powerful, but he can't even do 20 days of tolerance. Before he can even sit on the hot side, he shows his sharpness. It can be said that he has lost his political wisdom and does not even have the most basic judgment and self-control.

He is a prince who lacks political talent. He has received education that matches his identity and has an aesthetic taste in life that matches his identity. He is disobedient and wants to install his own people. He is a little delusional and naive, but it is not a threat at all.

Therefore, there are two ways to understand that Liu He was deposed.

Liu He was the grandson of Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che and the ninth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. After Emperor Zhao of Han passed away, Liu He was summoned to the court because he had no son and was appointed as the crown prince. He then succeeded to the throne and reigned  - DayDayNews

The first understanding is that Liu He did 1,127 bad things in 27 days. For this reason, General Huo Guang had to abolish Liu He in order to survive the country.

The second understanding is that Liu He is a loser in the power struggle, and the reason for his failure may be related to his "resolute failure and confusion." In this power struggle, Huo Guang successfully launched a palace coup, thus becoming the victorious side of this power struggle. Which understanding of

is more reasonable, you can tell at a glance.
