He won the emperor's throne by eunuchs, gave eunuchs unprecedented rewards, and even expressly stipulated that eunuchs could adopt their adopted sons, but in the end all eunuchs were killed and the rest were sent to the frontier; He hoped to find a generation of famous ministers to lead the country out of the quagmire, but found that his father-in-law was the most suitable one, and he still could not escape the strange circle of relatives. During his reign, farmers did not have enough food, starved everywhere and revolted everywhere. In order to quell the war, the military power of the country fell to the son of the old father-in-law, and finally the tenth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty committed suicide.
Why can Bao be emperor when his reputation is ruined?
Liu Bao, Emperor Shun of Han Dynasty, was born in the second year of Yuan Dynasty. He is the only son of Andy Han. His mother is Li, a palace maid. At the age of five, he was made a prince. The politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty has always been that the Empress Dowager and eunuchs played with the emperor. The emperor has no actual right to speak, and everything is subordinate to the queen mother. Every queen who wants to be promoted to empress dowager must ensure two things: first, there is enough family power outside; Second, there is a prince who is obedient enough and young enough.
For the first condition, it is easy to meet. At that time, the women who could be sent to the palace, named Guifei and Empress, were all famous families after the ministers. As long as the queen mother is in office, the family will become the first force in minutes; As for the second condition, it seems easier to meet. There are so many royals and so many school-age children.
From Dou Taihou in the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty to Empress Deng in the period of Emperor An of Han Dynasty, as long as you succeed in becoming a queen, you can get it at your fingertips. Maybe it's because it's too easy to get. Queen Yan didn't care about the arrangement after the death of Emperor Han An. She only did three things: Yan Feng's brothers Yan Xian, Yan Jing, Yao Yan and Yan Yan served as captains in the army and were in charge of the emperor's personal soldiers; Poisoned Liu Bao's biological mother, Li, and drove Liu Bao from the position of prince.
Abandoning the prince took place in the third year of Yan Guang and the fourth year of Yan Guang. During this year, three major events happened:
First of all, Emperor Liu Hu of Han 'an died of sudden illness.
In March of A.D. 125, Emperor Han took his queen Yan Chunyou. The emperor went out to travel, and the ostentation and extravagance was different. Along the way, he admired flowers, the moon and beautiful women. Queen Yan just abandoned the prince and kept drinking the medicine prescribed by the doctor too much all the way, hoping to get pregnant with the dragon seed. Unfortunately, it backfired. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is in poor health. He is very fat. He may have high blood pressure or something. He tossed all the way. When he arrived in Wancheng, Henan, he suddenly fell ill, very ill. After studying for a long time, the accompanying doctor too much didn't know what was wrong with Xian Di. There is no way, so hurry back to Beijing.
It's only a few days' journey from Wancheng to Luoyang, the capital of Henan Province, but Emperor Han An can't wait for a moment. 1April 30, 2005, the emperor died as soon as he arrived in the south of Yexian County, Henan Province. Andy's death was so sudden. Empress Yan didn't even find a suitable little prince. What should I do?
Whenever this happens, we should thank China for its long history. Countless great predecessors have provided valuable experience in dealing with this unexpected situation. Qin Shihuang also died halfway. Zhao Gao took advantage of this crisis and succeeded in making Hu play a joke. Later, Zhao Gao summed it up himself, and the core is: keep secret and act quickly.
Queen Yan and her brother Yan Xian pretended to tell the eunuch that Emperor Han An was only seriously ill, and then
Liu Yi's death is not a big deal for Queen Yan and eunuch Jiang Jing. Before the Liu Long incident of Emperor Gaozu, it was obvious that we should tell Empress Yan, and then find a suitable little prince to continue to be emperor. That night, Queen Yan closed the palace door and kept it a secret. Then she contacted the sons of King Kibe and King Hejian and rushed to Beijing to compete for the throne.
When everything was ready, Queen Yan leaned back in the dragon chair and began to imagine the long curtain. In those days, Dou Taihou's romantic story faintly stimulated Empress Yan. Unfortunately, the foolproof thing was broken in the hands of a group of eunuchs.
The third thing is that the eunuch rebelled and Liu Bao was king.
There are only two ways to improve the status of eunuchs: either to help the emperor succeed to the throne or to be in charge of state affairs, such as Zheng Zhong, the first eunuch in the Eastern Han Dynasty; Either with the right master, when I was a child, I followed the prince, and when the emperor succeeded to the throne, I immediately became a big official, such as Wang Sheng, the wet nurse of Emperor Han 'an, and Li Run and Jiang Jing, eunuchs.
The deposed eunuch Chang Xingqu was very depressed. He is also a eunuch, following the prince. Lee needs the wind now. Usually when they go out, they are followed by a group of ministers. But since Liu Bao became a prince, he has lost the qualification to win the championship. The emperor took turns to do it, and it will never be Liu Baoju's turn again. At this time, Liu Bao was still a child, but Changxing Qu was unwilling.
Liu Yi's death is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Due to the strict prohibition of the Queen Mother Yan, there was no single soldier in the whole palace. Nineteen eunuchs, including Sun Cheng, who often worked in Changxing Canal Alliance, went directly to the palace, killed the eunuchs who followed Queen Yan, and then welcomed Liu Bao as the seventh emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Empress Yan was put in limbo, and her younger brother Yan Xian, whose official position at that time was general riding a bicycle, the Third Division of the Ministry of Rites, and the commander of the Beijing Military Region. Unfortunately, at this time, Yan Xian was outside the capital. He was guarding against the mutiny of powerful people, but in the end he was ruined by several eunuchs. When Yan heard the news, he returned to the palace and saw that Liu Bao succeeded to the throne as Han Shundi. Elite troops such as Kingsguard, Hu Benjun and Yu have sworn allegiance.
It is too late. Yan and Yan He were defeated and killed.
Liu Baosuo, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, made these efforts.
In 125, the deposed Bao officially became the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It has been 100 years since the Eastern Han Dynasty to Liu Bao's generation. Two centuries later, many holes appeared. However, after the ups and downs of his life, Liu Bao, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, still hopes to do something for the country, at least to make his children no longer have to accompany the queen mother and eunuchs to sing duets.
The first thing Shun Di should do is to establish authority. He killed all the rebellious Empress Yan's family, and the rest were exiled to South Vietnam, which is now Vietnam. At the same time, his own throne was finally fought back by the eunuch with his life. In order to show the emperor's reward to his ministers, Emperor Shun of Han gave everything he could to Sun Cheng and other eunuchs 19, and made him a vassal. However, as a long-term meal ticket, the title of eunuch alone is too wasteful. Therefore, starting from Liu Bao, Emperor Shun of Han Dynasty, it was officially stipulated that eunuchs could adopt adopted sons and retire.
Historical experience tells us that we should never trust the emperor. The nicer he is to you, the more careful he should be. If you want to destroy him, you must drive him crazy first. Sun Cheng, who was rewarded, began to be arrogant. He is no longer satisfied with being just a little eunuch. Liu Bao made the greatest contribution when he became emperor, so Sun Cheng gradually neglected the emperor. The final result is that 19 eunuchs who made meritorious deeds were killed, and the rest were driven out of the capital and exiled to the frontier.
At the same time, Han hoped to find a generation of famous officials, similar to ancient Jiang Ziya, but Han searched all the civil and military officials in Qing Dynasty, and Liang Shang, his father-in-law, was the most attractive one. Shang was the great-grandson of Liang Tong, the satrap of Jiujiang in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He has a daughter named Liang Na. Liang Na was born in 1 16. /kloc-entered the palace at the age of 0/2. In the first year, he was named the imperial concubine. Four years later, in 132, he was made queen.
My daughter flew to the branches and became the queen of mom's musical instrument industry. I was also appointed as the director of the Beijing Police Department. Liang has proud capital, but Liang is very self-aware. He thinks that his daughter earns his wealth, not his real skills, so he is humble and works harder every time he goes to court and meets.
Don't be proud of your high position? Aren't all ancient sages like this? Liu appreciates Liang more and more. At the same time, Liang Shang recommended a number of outstanding talents to Emperor Gaozu, including Hanyang, Shangdang Chen Gui and Zhou Ju, all of whom were famous figures at that time. In the third year of Yang, Emperor Shun of Han made Liang Shang a general.
The general was the supreme commander of the ancient army. From then on, Liang Jia began to master the military power of the whole country. Liang Ji was an overbearing general, so he poisoned his own emperor. In the next issue, famous historical figures in China will tell the story of Liang Ji, so stay tuned.
These arrangements revived the Eastern Han Dynasty, but a serious natural and man-made disaster wiped out all Han's efforts.
In the middle and late period of each dynasty, due to increasingly serious corruption and natural disasters, the people rebelled, food was scarce, and many people starved to death, but the government did not give food. What are we doing? Hold on! It started with a small-scale looting. When bits and pieces are broken into pieces, the dynasty is not far from extinction. What are the natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, locusts and so on?
Speaking of earthquakes, Zhang Heng, an astronomer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, must be mentioned here. He never understood that Zhang Heng invented the seismograph. Does the study of earthquakes belong to astronomy? ), the year when Zhang Heng invented the seismograph is easy to remember, that is, the day when Shun Di, the wife of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, became the queen, that is, the first year of Yangjia, A.D. 132.
Zhang Heng was a genius of that era, who knew astronomy above and geography below, and was also one of the four masters of Han Fu. In short, he is one of the four great writers, namely Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong and Ban Gu.
Words are divided into two ends. Zhang Heng's seismograph is no longer powerful. In the face of natural disasters, he is still powerless. Not only that, the Qiang people who fought for 10 years rioted again, and fighting was the most expensive. Originally, because of difficulties all over the country, emergency money was needed everywhere, and now there is going to be a war again. This is the most expensive activity, so Sun Tzu said that the best tactic is to defeat the enemy without fighting. It's best not to fight.
After years of natural disasters, some people are very happy. When people have no food, the state needs to give out relief money. Food must be distributed through officials in every place, regardless of size. In such a big country, people can really get what they want. When people have no food, they will make trouble. Does Han know about these things? He should know them, but no matter how good the emperor is, the specific work still depends on the officials at the bottom.
The Eastern Han Dynasty has been weak for a long time. After so many years, these problems can no longer be solved by a Korean.
How did Shun Di die?
On the sixth day of August in the first year of Jiankang, Emperor Shun of Han Dynasty, who had worked hard all his life, died in front of Yutang. He is only thirty years old. aft
