Emperor Han Zhuo was erased from history by later generations because of his bad reputation.
Although Han was a generation of emperors who ruled China for decades, he was always despised by people because he behaved badly and was not filial to his parents when he was young. When he grew up, he was ambitious and cruel. He killed his teacher's family and then plotted to steal the national encyclopedia step by step. Finally, he had an affair with Houyi's concubine, killed Houyi and became a monarch himself. You know, all this is highly despised in China's traditional morality based on loyalty and filial piety. So where are a series of stories about Han Zhuo recorded?

Looking through the historical materials, we can't help but choose Sima Qian's Historical Records, but after consulting it, we will find that Sima Qian only mentioned "Shao Kang lost its country" when studying this period of history, and nothing else was mentioned at all, not to mention the theft of Hou Yi's regime by Korea. So why is this? The reason is that Confucianism was reused in the Han Dynasty. In the eyes of Confucianism, Han _' s behavior is the most despised by people and hated by rulers of all dynasties, so he didn't say anything about it. Only in the year of Zuo Zhuan did Han Jue become a monarch step by step. Therefore, Han Zhuo is really a very bad person. After being expelled from the cold, he pretended to be diligent and loyal in order to gain the trust of Hou Yi. After mastering the national encyclopedia, he committed adultery with Houyi's concubine and then bribed his cronies, so that Houyi was killed by Han when he found out about their extramarital affairs. Later, Hou Yi's body was cruelly made into patties for other ministers to eat. He conspired with Chun Hu to monopolize power and eventually became a monarch.

So did Han Zhuo and his son really do nothing good during their reign? Of course not. Han Zhuo is only bad but not good, because in the era when traditional Confucianism dominated, it was completely derogatory to Han Zhuo. In the "Laizhou Fuzhi" and other documents, it is recorded that Han Zhuo and his son did some good things for the people during their reign, such as building coastal defense facilities. Of course, Han Zhuo promoted the unification and national integration of ancient China.

Therefore, we should treat and analyze historical figures objectively and dialectically.

Han Zhuo's rebellion

Everyone must have a deep understanding of China's ancient myths. We are familiar with Pangu's creation of the world, Goddess's mending the sky, Nu Wa's creation of man, Kuafu's day by day, Dayu's harnessing water and so on. But do you know the chaos in Han Zhuo? Today, let's take a look at the chaos on Han Zhuo.

Let's see who Han Zhuo is first. It is said that Han Zhuo is a descendant of Boming family. His ancestors were followers who drove away the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor sealed a place called Cold Land to his ancestors, and later generations named it Cold Land. Han Zhuo has been a playboy since childhood. He is not filial to his parents and is also a bully in the village. So he was expelled from the cold country when 15 years old. Han Zhuo's character is very poor. He took an old hunter with high martial arts as his teacher, but he was afraid that the Orion would take other disciples, so he killed the Orion family. Later, when he heard that Hou Yi, the monarch of a poor country, had captured the capital of Xia, he went to find Hou Yi.

After many twists and turns, Han Zhuo finally found Hou Yi. In order to be a senior official under Hou Yi, he restrained his temper and gained the trust of Hou Yi. Seeing that he was brave and diligent, Hou Yi recognized him as his adopted son and entrusted him with many important affairs of the country. Han Zhuo's official career rose step by step. On the one hand, he pretended to be honest and virtuous in front of Hou Yi, on the other hand, he plotted behind his back.

When the world was at peace, Hou Yi began to corrupt. Han Zhuo has ulterior motives. He wants to make Hou Yi more and more corrupt. Later, Hou Yi was promoted to be the prime minister of Han Dynasty, in charge of state affairs. I didn't expect that Han Zhuo had a good relationship with Hou Yi and had a concubine. Although discovered by Hou Yi, Han Zhuo bribed Feng Meng to kill Hou Yi. Then he killed Feng Meng and took complete control of the state power.

Later, many small countries went to poor countries, and Han Zhuo sent his eldest son to defeat them several times. Han Zhuo thought that the world was peaceful and no one could shake his position, so he ascended the throne. Han Zhuo carefully planned to steal the state power step by step and ascended the throne, which is called "Han Zhuo's rebellion" in history.

Han Zhuo's reign

In China's ancient mythology, Hou Yi was the king of a poor country, and Han Xian was the prime minister he promoted. However, Han Zhuo was not a good man when he was young. He was not filial to his parents. He is a fish farmer. Later, he became a tough guy. First, he fell in love with Hou Yi. On the surface, he worked for Hou Yi, but behind the scenes, he formed a party for personal interests. After gaining the trust of Hou Yi, he was promoted to prime minister. After he finally killed Hou Yi, he became a monarch himself. Here, let's take a look at the reign of Han Zhuo. How many years has he been a monarch?

In his later years, Hou Yi gradually degenerated and became lustful. He married a 18-year-old girl named Chun Hu, while Chun Hu was privately with Han Zhuo. It was not until 2022 BC that Hou Yi ran into her adultery with Han Zhuo. Houyi tried to kill them, but Han Zhuo bribed Houyi's guards to kill them. Then Han Zhuo and Chun Hu secretly planned to kill Hou Yi's original cronies.

According to records, they chopped Houyi into meat paste, poisoned it and made it into meat pies, which were given to Houyi's cronies. If you eat it, you will be poisoned. If you don't eat, you will be killed by Han Zhuo. So in a very short time, Han Zhuo completely mastered the power of the country and ascended the throne. Han Biao also changed his country name to Han. 202 1 year BC was his first year as a monarch. Until BC 1962, Shao Kang led a great army to capture the capital of Han _, killing Han _ and all his people.

So Han Zhuo's rule lasted from 2022 BC to 1962 BC. Because of Han Zhuo's bad conduct, he seized the throne by conspiracy, and in order to stabilize his position, he rejected dissidents by extremely cruel means. Therefore, in the orthodox thoughts of later generations, he is not recognized and respected by people. This is why although he became emperor, he was kicked out of the ranks of emperors.

Han Zhuo's two sons

Everyone may know more or less about historical figures or stories after the Spring and Autumn Period, but when it comes to figures before or in the Xia Dynasty, many people may be at a loss. For example, the figure of Han Zhuo, many people will ask him who he is. He is a fictional character. Han was born in Xia Dynasty and once ruled China for 40 years. So why have you only heard of Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but not Han Zhuo? Well, the three emperors and five emperors we are talking about now belong to orthodox ideologies such as Confucianism. Han Zhuo's reputation is not very good, so we put him outside the emperor. So is there any record of his wife and son in the legend?

Han Zhuo's original opponent was Li Jiang. After Li Jiang's death, he married another wife named Chun Hu. According to records, he has two sons. Look at Han Zhuo's two sons.

According to relevant documents, Han Zhuo has two sons, one of whom is Hanshui. Because Han Zhuo is lean and equal to the emperor, his son is naturally a powerful person, so Lengshui was sentenced to the place where his father Han Zhuo called. Where is this place? But this place is in Laizhou City, Shandong Province today, and it is near the sea.

His other son is called "Han Yi". There is also a saying called "Han Xi". Today we can't prove which is right.

Were Han Zhuo's two sons born in Li Jiang or Chun Hu? This issue is also controversial. One theory is that Li Jiang is the biological mother of Lengshui and Lengxi. But there is also a saying that according to some documents, his two sons were born to the mythical moon fairy Chang 'e. Of course, these are myths and legends, which are difficult to verify, but the first statement is more convincing.
