Draw lots to decide life

In historical records, countless heroes fought to the death for a throne. After all, everyone loves the country, and everyone loves power and potential. But in the Western Han Dynasty, the selection of successors was more interesting. As long as they are immediate family members of the Liu clan, they can occupy one of them. As for when it's your turn, it's sheer luck. There are three typical examples: one is Liu He, who was fascinated by the good luck from the sky, so he was kicked off the stage while he was still intoxicated with the joy of being enthroned; The second was Liu Heng, who was rational and did not dare to mess around on the issue of inheriting the throne, so that period was stable; The third is Liu's illness. He is very concerned about the throne. Although he didn't understand, he studied hard and embarked on a more prosperous realm than the first two.

The other, as soon as he ascended the throne, was very lucky, but he didn't love a powerful country and just wanted to live an ordinary life and be satisfied with herding cattle.

This person is Liu Penzi. Compared with the so-called relative Liu who just touched the edge, Liu Penzi is a real Han clan, which is beyond doubt. His ancestor was Liu Fei, the eldest son of Emperor Gaozu. After several generations, the descendants gradually spread from Chengyang King to Hou Shi and to the Three Realms, and then we met the opportunity of Wang Mang usurping the throne, so Liu Pengzi, who had a fief, had nothing. Liu Penzi ranks third in the family, with two older brothers in front. Only one of these three people has studied, and the rest, like ordinary farmers, have left a special identity.

After Wang Mang usurped the throne, he also ruled for more than ten years. During this period, peasant uprising groups appeared. In this group of uprising troops, two teams appeared, one is the outlaw hero and the other is the Red Eyebrow Army. These two armies have Liu's Han relatives, and the outlaws have become emperors; When the Red Eyebrow Army passed through the county town where the Liu brothers were located, they took three brothers with them.

After the outlaw hero took the lead in attacking Chang 'an, the dynasty established by Wang Mang was also destroyed, and the Red Eyebrow Army did not dare to create momentum and temporarily surrendered to the outlaw hero. The eldest of the three brothers Liu studied for several years, entered the court and became an official around him, only then did he have his identity. He also restored the title of Hou to his generation.
