Emperor Haihunhou failed to do a good job just because his powerful ministers were in power? wrong! If you follow him, there will be no such thing as Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

The discovery of Haihunhou’s tomb made Haihunhou Liu He famous all over the world. Also famous throughout the world was his short career as emperor. Haihun Hou Liu He has a prominent family background. His grandfather is the only emperor in the history - Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che, and his father is Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty's favorite old son Liu Kun, the king of Changyi. It's a pity that when the new old son Liu Fuling appeared, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ""changed his love". Therefore, when the prince Liu Ju was deposed, Liu Fuling was successfully elected as the successor, and Liu Kun could only He watched eagerly as his younger brother became the crown prince. Fortunately, there was reincarnation, and the history of the Western Han Dynasty once again took an amazing turn. The throne that Liu Kun missed back then fell to his son Liu He. Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Liu Fuling, died young at the age of 3, and the powerful minister Huo Guang chose Liu He, King of Changyi, who was only 19 years old at the time, to succeed him as emperor of the Han Dynasty. After hearing the news, Liu He was overjoyed. He quickly brought more than 200 people to Beijing without even going to worship his ancestor Liu Bang, and he became emperor with great interest. However, the good times did not last long, and Liu became emperor for only 27 days. He, the ministers collected 1127 absurd things, and the powerful ministers unanimously decided to send Liu He back to his hometown in Changyi. This time, the feng shui turned to the house of the violent prince Liu Ju, and his grandson Liu Bing had succeeded to the throne and became the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan. But Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty still felt like a thorn in his back when he thought of Liu He, the king of Changyi. Finally, in 63 BC, he made up his mind and deposed him as the Marquis of Haihun. The settlement had only 4,000 households. Four years later, Haihunhou Liu He passed away at the age of only 33. Was it really just because the powerful ministers in power made it difficult for the emperor to do well? In fact, as early as more than a hundred years ago, the Han Dynasty had a The emperor set an example for him. In the same way, as a prince, he was forced into the dynasty to become the emperor, and he faced the same powerful ministers. He even had to face many princes and kings who were much more powerful and were eyeing him. It was even worse, but he took the right posture and resolved the crisis step by step. He was Liu Heng, the Emperor of Han Dynasty for more than 20 years. Let's take a look at how Liu Heng faced such a situation. How to do it. 1. Although the throne is good and there is no rush, three pushes and four concessions are the basis. Faced with the sudden throne, Liu Heng, who was the acting king at that time, did not immediately rush to Chang'an with his people, but instead calmed down and summoned the people. The confidants discussed countermeasures to determine whether the throne was really a "lottery win" or just a trap? The final result of the discussion was to send Liu Heng's uncle Bo Zhao as the vanguard to go to the capital to investigate, instead of Liu Heng led his troops to kill him rashly. When Bo Zhao brought back reliable news that the officials in the capital were indeed eagerly waiting for King Dai to go to the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City to become emperor, Liu Heng led his team to Chang'an. However, his However, the team did not have more than 200 people like Liu He. On the contrary, he only brought six useful people. When they arrived in Gaoling County near Chang'an, Liu Heng stopped again and sent Lieutenant Song Chang to inquire about the situation and got a group of people. After hearing the news that the minister had indeed left the city to greet him, the seven-man team rushed over quickly. When they saw Liu Heng coming, the ministers headed by Zhou Bo and Chen Ping immediately saluted, and Liu Heng also returned the salute very politely, but Zhou Bo wanted to follow him privately. When Dai Wang spoke, he received the reply ""Official matters should be discussed in public, but private matters should not be discussed." This move not only gave Zhou Bo, the powerful minister at the time, a disincentive, but also expressed to the ministers that their Dai Guo group was fair and fair. The basic principles of fairness and openness, although just a small move, have the effect of killing two birds with one stone. Zhou Bo then knelt down and asked Liu Heng to accept the emperor's jade seal and talisman letter, but Liu Heng still refused, because he ""will discuss it again when we return to the Dai Residence." As a result, after arriving at the Dai Residence, the important officials of the imperial court together repeatedly said, When he repeatedly asked the acting king Liu Heng to become the emperor, Liu Heng refused because of his lack of ability. Of course, Liu Heng still agreed to be the emperor. It was obvious that Liu Heng could come from Dai Kingdom. Chang'an, of course, has already decided to be the emperor. Pushing and giving in is just to express an attitude. This emperor is not mandatory. On the contrary, I did it because you asked me to do it. So if anything happens in the future, I still have to do it. I hope you can cooperate. 2. Filial piety comes first, enfeoffment is great, and military power is the foundation. On the night when King Liu Heng agreed to become emperor, he moved into Weiyang Palace, the palace where the emperor lived. The first thing he did that night was to take control of military power.

Song Chang was appointed as General Wei, in charge of the Northern and Southern armies; Zhang Wu was appointed as Lang Zhongling, responsible for patrolling and guarding the palace; and then he became famous all over the world. Immediately afterwards, the next thing Liu Heng did was to worship his ancestors and pay a visit to the Gaodi Temple. That is to say, he went to pay homage to his late father Liu Bang and told Liu Bang that he was going to be the emperor. Then he sent his uncle Bo Zhao to pick up his mother, Queen Mother Bo, to come to Chang'an to fulfill his filial piety. Now that military power is in hand and filial piety is over, the natural next step is to reward the meritorious officials. Taiwei Zhou Bo, Prime Minister Chen Ping, General Guan Ying and several other powerful and important ministers of the dynasty received heavy rewards, as did Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang, Xiangping Hou Jitong, Dongmu Hou Liu Xingju, etc. who had made great contributions in the battle to destroy Zhu Lu. rewarded. Then, as if to bring order to the chaos, the territories of Qi and Chu that had been taken away by Queen Lu during her reign were also returned to appease the two most important princes and kings. In addition, Liu Sui, the son of King Zhao You who was killed by Queen Lu, was named King of Zhao, and Liu Ze, the original King of Langya, was named King of Yan to avoid the intensification of the conflict between Liu Ze and King Liu Xiang of Qi. At the same time, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng also did something to appease the people, that is, he abolished the law of collecting slaves and sitting down together, and then implemented the "15 tax and one tax" recuperation policy, which can be said to be comprehensive. 3. Attacking Powerful Officials In the early days of Emperor Hanwen's reign, the most powerful official was naturally Zhou Bo. Not only was he a high-ranking official who was less than one person but more than ten thousand people, he was also instrumental in supporting the emperor of the dynasty. Emperor Gang saw it in his eyes, but what did Emperor Wen of Han do? He was not anxious or annoyed. Instead, he paid Zhou Bo a respectful look every time he left the court and watched him leave. Over time, many ministers told Emperor Wen of Han that treating Zhou Bo in this way was disrespectful to the monarch. Now that he had gained the support of the people, Emperor Wen of Han naturally became more serious in treating Zhou Bo. When Zhou Bo saw this, he became more serious. , but became even more in awe of the young emperor, and then resigned from his position as right prime minister at the reminder of his subordinates. After that, Emperor Wen of Han made another clever move and allowed all the feudal princes to take their own fiefdoms. Go, and the leader is Zhou Bo. There are many benefits to letting these princes go to the fiefdom. Firstly, it can avoid the constant transportation of food from the fiefdom to Chang'an. Secondly, it also prevents these princes without official positions from forming cliques in the capital for private purposes. It also eliminated the threat posed by Zhou Bo in the capital. 4. "Manually push the grace order" and strengthen his own power. During the period of Emperor Han Wen, the power of the princes and kings was still very strong, so Emperor Wen of Han also took the opportunity to weaken these potential opponents. Shui Yibai called his move "manual pushing the grace order" because his method was similar to the "hand pushing grace order" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty moved the hand that originally belonged to Zhao Hejian County was cut off and allocated to Liu Pijuan, the younger brother of King Liu Sui of Zhao, and Chengyang County and Jibei County of the original Qi State were allocated to Zhuxuhou Liu Zhang and Dongmuhou Liu Xingju, two younger brothers of King Liu Xiang of Qi respectively. Although Zhang and Liu Xingju became the new vassal kings, they were all assigned the fiefdoms of their own brothers. Emperor Hanwen easily achieved his goal of weakening the strength of King Qi and King Zhao. At the same time, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty also sealed the territories. His three sons were kings of the princes, the second son Liu Wu was the king of Dai, the third son Liu Shen was the king of Taiyuan, and the fourth son Liu Yi was the king of Liang. With this enfeoffment, Emperor Hanwen's power officially expanded from the central government to the local areas, especially Liang. The enfeoffment of the country was like placing a "camera" around the vassal states in the East. Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty's rule was finally on the right track. It can be seen that the situation faced by Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Heng was no better than what Liu He faced at that time. The situation was easy, but it was thanks to his steady and step-by-step approach that he gradually gained a foothold. He first satisfied the income of the vested interests and fully satisfied their needs, but he also grasped the most basic thing of military power. Then he would slowly encroach on his opponents' sphere of influence until he achieved his goal of controlling the overall situation. On the contrary, Liu He thought that as long as he entered Chang'an City, the throne would belong to him. No matter how hard he tried, others could not do anything to him. That's why he regarded etiquette as nothing, not to mention eating, drinking and having fun. More importantly, he worshiped his biological father Liu Kui as his son instead of worshiping Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. This was at that time It was very inappropriate for Liu He, who had been adopted by Liu Fuling, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. In addition, he brought more than 200 cronies to Beijing and casually issued edicts as if they were child's play. This had to displease the ministers who supported him at the beginning. Doubtful whether vested interests can be preserved. All these actions of Liu He gradually pushed him away from the throne of emperor.

Maybe Liu He did not do the 1127 ridiculous things, but just like Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and others who summoned Liu Heng to Beijing to be emperor, Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi and others at this time also really wanted Liu He to be emperor at first. Even if the two were swapped, Shui Yibai believed that Liu Heng would still be able to secure his position, while Liu He would still be unable to escape the fate of being deposed in the end. Just imagine, if Liu He before entering Chang'an could study the "" strategy" written by Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Heng and study its essence seriously, his reign would never have been only 27 days. The greater possibility is to successfully rule the world. As for Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun may only be his Liu Bing for the rest of his life.
