Emperor Hui of Han Liu Ying is the legitimate son of Liu Bang . Liu Ying has a weak personality, which is in sharp contrast to his mother's cruelty, , Empress Lu, .
Liu Bang was named King of Han When Liu Ying was appointed as the crown prince. At that time, when Chu and Han quarrel were fighting, Liu Bang and his son were chased by Chu soldiers.
Liu Bang ignored Liu Ying's life and death and ran away for a light load, and pushed Liu Ying and his brother out of the car several times.
Thanks to the coachman Teng Gong’s rescue, he brought the siblings into the car several times to save his life.
Liu Bang doesn't like Liu Ying's kindness, so he really wants to change his concubine's son Ruyi to the crown prince. Ruyi's open-minded personality looks very similar to Liu Bang.
The court officials made fierce suggestions and opposed the abolition of the establishment.
Zhang Liang gave an idea for Empress Lu: "As long as you invite Shangshan Four Elders to serve the crown prince, you can keep the crown prince."
These Shangshan Four Elders are four great veterans, living in seclusion in the world, and even Liu Bang cannot invite them.
The Four Elders agreed to leave Prince Sasuke, and Liu Bang was shocked when he heard about it.
In 196 BC, King Yingbu of Huainan rebelled, and Liu Bang was sick and wanted the prince Liu Ying to lead his army to quell the rebellion.
The Four Ox believe that the generals ruled by the prince are all long-time generals with outstanding military achievements. Letting the prince command them is tantamount to letting the sheep control the wolf. Therefore, he opposed the prince's expedition.
Liu Bang said proudly, "I think this kid is not good either, so let me go!"
Liu Bang saw that the four elders assisted the prince, so he said to Ruyi's mother, Concubine Qi, , "The prince's wings have been formed and it is difficult to shake."
In 195 BC, Emperor Gaozu of Han died of illness, and the prince Liu Ying ascended the throne, which was Emperor Hui of Han.
As soon as Liu Bang died, Empress Lü hated Concubine Qi and his son to the core, and she would definitely want to put her to death and be quick.
Hui Di is kind and is afraid that Empress Lü harms Zhao Wang Ruyi and Concubine Qi. He heard that King Zhao came to Beijing, so he personally protected him.
But King Zhao and Concubine Qi have not escaped from the empress dowager's cruel hands. Concubine Qi was made into a "human pig" by the cruel Empress Lu. Emperor Hui saw it and cried in grief.
During Emperor Hui's reign, he pursued the Huang Lao technique of tranquility and inaction, bowed his clothes and handed over, following the trend of nature, and not disturbing the people much.
He appointed Cao Shen as prime minister. Cao Shen often drinks all night and rarely takes care of the business. He thinks that the Xiao He is well-designed, and just do things according to the rules.
This rule of "Xiao Rules and Cao Follows" and rest with the people was deeply supported by the people in the early Han Dynasty. In 188 BC, Emperor Hui died early at the age of twenty-four.
