In the history of the Western Han Empire, there was a very special emperor. During his reign, he was low-key and pragmatic, appointing talents, and defeated the Xiongnu and Xiqiang. Not only did he consolidate the country's territory, he also successfully created the rule of Zhongxing in the Western Han Dynasty.
is such an emperor who established immortal achievements. He was once a prisoner. He suffered nine deaths in prison and was the only emperor in Chinese history who was in prison. This is the history of the Western Han Dynasty. The famous sage- Liu Bingji, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
ill-fated and rough childhood
At that time, the prince Liu of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a concubine, and gave birth to a son Liu Jin, and Liu Jin gave birth to another son. Sick myself, this is the later emperor of Han Xuan. Not long after Liu Bingji was born, his grandfather Liu Zheng was implicated in the "Witch Gu" and the whole family was killed. Only Liu Bingji was thrown into prison.
Fortunately, Bingji, the officer in charge of the trial at the time, was kind-hearted and specially arranged for the female prisoner to take care of the infant in the prison, so that he would not die prematurely.
Since the Wugu case could not be ended for a long time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ashamed and annoyed, and the alchemist beside him said, saying that the emperor's spirit emerged in the prison of Chang'an, and the two dragons were in the same city. , Threatened the health of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Han Wudi, who has always been superstitious, quickly sent people to execute all the prisoners in the Jingcheng Prison. When the envoy came to the prison where Liu Bingji was being held, Bingji closed the door to prevent the envoy from entering. The envoys had no choice but to return to the palace to report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After hearing that his great-grandson had been in prison, Emperor Wu remembered that he had levied and abused him earlier.Indiscriminately killing innocents, and also forcing his own son to death, all the past is vividly remembered, and he has awakened, ordered an amnesty for the world, and pardoned Liu Bingji's sins.
Under Bingji's care, Liu Bingji escaped from disaster after disaster and grew up in prison day by day. Bingji paid out of his own pocket and invited someone from outside the prison to take care of Liu Bingji’s diet and daily life. Several times, Liu Bingji was dying of illness. Bingji hurried to find someone to ask a doctor for medicine. It can be said that he treats Liu Bingji as if he is himself. Out.
Bingji also inquired that Liu Bingji's grandmother was still in the house, so he contacted various parties and sent Liu Bingji to his grandmother's home to raise him. After a period of time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally officially ordered Liu Bingji to be brought into the palace to raise him, and ordered Zongzheng Mansion to register his royal status and re-accept Liu Bingji.
The official who was in charge of raising Liu Bingji was once a guest of the prince. He was grateful for the prince’s kindness and carefully supported Liu Bingji, taught him to read and read, and paid for him to buy food and clothing. Liu Bingji is a clever and savvy person, and his unique background also makes him more aware of the sufferings of the lower classes, and he has a good understanding of the difficulties and ugliness of the officials, as well as the pros and cons of officials. This laid the foundation for his succession to the throne and his compassionate style of fighting against corrupt officials.
Nanyuan legacy, so the sword is deep
After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Zhao ascended the throne. After the death of Emperor Zhao Emperor, the central court headed by Huo Guang supported Liu Heji of Changyi Bit. However, after Liu He succeeded to the throne, he was desolate and innocent. He was deposed in just 27 days and became the emperor with the shortest reign of the Han Dynasty. After Liu He was abolished, who to support the throne became the most important problem before the officials.
Huo Guang and others will not be able to pick a suitable candidate from the clan to succeed. At this time, Bingji stepped forward again and wrote to Huo Guang, strongly recommending Liu Bingji to be the heir to the throne.
For Bingji’s suggestion,Huo Guang also deeply believed that Liu Bingji was the best choice to become an emperor regardless of his blood lineage or talent. However, to select a new emperor, he must pass the consensus of his officials. Therefore, Huo Guang immediately called a group of officials to discuss the emperor’s choice. The group of officials also praised Liu Bingji and unanimously agreed to elect him as the new emperor. After the Queen Mother’s consent, Liu Bingji formally succeeded the emperor and paid his respects. In the Han Gaozu Temple, the empress dowager is regarded as the empress dowager, and this is Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Since Emperor Xuan grew up in a prison, and then lived in the people for a long time, he was finally able to ascend the throne of the emperor. This has to be said to be a miracle.
After Liu Bingji succeeded to the throne, he gave a big reward to the ministers. At the same time, he was also preparing to make his beloved woman and Xu Pingjun, who shared his sufferings, as the queen. Xu Pingjun and Liu Bingji met in the folks, and under the order of Ye Ting, the two became married couples and gave birth to a son in the second year.
After marriage, the lives of the two are peaceful and happy. Although they are not the home of Zhongmingding Food, it is fortunate that the husband and wife are affectionate and very sweet. Now that he is in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he certainly wants to give his beloved woman a status, but the emperor’s love has never been his own business. At that time, the court’s military and political power was in the hands of General Huo Guang, and Huo Guang Strengthen the control of the emperor, and want to marry his daughter to the emperor, so as to strengthen the relationship between the two sides.
Huo Guang’s thoughts, of course, Emperor Xuan of Han understands, but it is not convenient for him to directly resist Huo Guang, who covered the sky with one hand, so the clever Emperor Xuan of Han issued a strange imperial decree to the ministers. The imperial decree said: There is a sword that I like very much, but now I can’t find him. Can Aiqing help me figure out a way to get back the lost sword?"
see this paper In the edict, the ministers felt that Monk Zhang Er was confused, but soon some clever ministers guessed the inside story and wrote to the emperor one after another.Asked to make Xu Pingjun the queen. Seeing that everyone's opinion is hard to disobey, Huo Guang couldn't help saying anything, so he secretly swallowed this breath, and the love between Liu Bingji and Xu Pingjun finally became a positive result.
But the good times did not last long. Huo Guang's wife was furious after hearing that her daughter had not been selected as the queen, and vented all her anger to Xu Pingjun, who took the throne of her daughter from the queen. Huo Guang's wife bought a royal doctor in the palace and asked him to secretly get rid of Xu Pingjun. After a while, Queen Xu passed away because of inexplicable poisoning.
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was distraught after hearing the news. Everyone with a discerning eye knew who instigated this incident. However, due to Huo Guang’s power, Emperor Xuan did not break the incident and registered Huo Guang’s daughter Queen.
And the pain and sorrow in his heart can only be silently hidden in his heart. Emperor Xuan buried his beloved wife in the South Garden of his mausoleum. This is the historical Nanyuan love.
Reluctant to forbear, and finally achieve success
After the death of Emperor Zhao, the actual ruler of the Han Empire became the general Huo Guang, who acted arbitrarily and brutally, often because his officials did not agree with him. They retaliated vigorously and even executed officials arbitrarily.
and he himself is also a very authoritarian person, and he often feels oppressive. When Emperor Xuan was enthroned, Huo Guang personally guarded him on horseback. He saw Huo Guang arrogantly and arrogantly sitting in the car. I didn't dare to move, feeling as if there were countless small thorns on my back. This is the origin of the thorns on my back.
Liu He’s example is a lesson from the past. The Emperor Xuan, who has just succeeded to the throne without foundation, naturally wants to dispel Huo Guang’s worries and precautions so as not to repeat the mistakes of Liu He.
When Emperor Xuan ascended the throne,Huo Guang once said that he would return the government to Emperor Xuan. Liu Bingji immediately refused and praised Huo Guangzhong for his patriotic behavior. He also publicly stated to the ministers that from now on, no matter how big or small the affairs of the court, you need to ask Huo Guang for instructions before coming to give advice. Report yourself.
It can be said that Emperor Xuan gave Huo Guang enough face and tried his best to appease Huo Guang. Faced with such a powerful official, Emperor Xuan, who has always been known for his tolerance, would naturally not choose to confront him. From his usual arbitrariness to His presumptuous behavior, even the despicable behavior of Huo Guang's wife to poison Empress Xu, the Emperor Han Xuan did not pay attention to him, and he waited for a chance to come back.
Finally, six years later, Huo Guang died of illness and the pillar of the Huo family collapsed. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty seized this opportunity to wipe out the Huo family, which had controlled the Han Dynasty for decades, and to fix the government affairs both inside and outside the court. The land was caught in his own hands and began to pro-government.
After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty took office, he pacified the people, developed people’s livelihood, advised farming and sang, and punishable by small taxes, so that the civil power that was destroyed by war and excessive taxes during the reign of Emperor Wu was restored. Development; he also appointed virtuous officials, cleared out a large number of corrupt officials and criminals, appointed a large number of civil servants and generals headed by Han Zeng, Bingji, and Liang Qiuhe to serve Han Zeng, Bingji, and Liang Qiuhe. The revitalization of the empire made great contributions.
Externally, during the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty sent troops to the Western Regions and defeated the main force of the Huns. Hu Han Xie Shanyu personally went to Chang'an to claim tribute and surrender to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan also sent troops to solve the Western Qiang forces that had been plagued by the northwest border, recruited many Qiang people who were willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and set up Jincheng to strengthen the jurisdiction and defense of the northwestern region.
In addition, during the Xuan Dynasty, the Han Empire also attacked the Western Regions, which had been cut off for many years, established the Western Regions Protectorate, and strengthened its jurisdiction over the Western Regions, which further strengthened the exchanges between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. . During the reign of Emperor Xuan, all ethnic groups surrendered to the Han Dynasty.Achieved a grand occasion.
On January 10, 48 BC, Emperor Xuan of the Han died in Weiyang Palace at the age of 43 and reigned for 25 years. During the reign of Emperor Xuan, the national power of the Han Dynasty was greatly restored and developed, and the atmosphere of Zhongxing appeared. His reign with Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty was therefore called Zhaoxuan Zhongxing by historians.
But let’s leave aside the Emperor Xuan of Han as a politician. His affection for his wife is like the sea, and the courage to offend officials is very rare among the kings of the past dynasties.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Han Xuan has become a model of affection for the emperor. Perhaps when he is dying, he is looking forward to the beautiful picture of continuing a loving life with Queen Xu in Nanyuan.
