China literature emperor Liu Heng is a famous emperor in Chinese history. He initiated the first prosperous period of China's feudal era-"the rule of culture and scenery", so he was praised as a sage monarch by scholars of past dynasties. Liu Heng, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was well versed in governing the country, and he was also quite talented in governing the country. He pursued the policy of "rest and recuperation" since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and adopted measures of reducing taxes, developing production and appeasing the people, which made the whole country show the scene of enriching the country and strengthening the people. He also vigorously promoted the regulations to pacify the frontier and reduce the number of battles, saved expenses, abolished tyranny, educated the people and put an end to slander. He also humbly counseled and reused honest officials, which made the Han Dynasty prosperous. The political clarity of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty is admired by later generations, and the mystery of his life experience is also curious.
In 204 BC, the then Hanwang Liu Bang defeated Wei and took Wei's maids and put them in charge of weaving. On one occasion, Liu Bang happened to visit the weaving place and saw a woman in the crowd, delicate, calm, weak and lovely. Liu bang took her back to his harem. This woman's surname is Bo, and she is the son of her father's adultery with the Wei daughter of Wang Wei's imperial clan. She thought she could live her own life if she was seen by Hanwang, so she came to Hanwang harem happily. But unexpectedly, Liu Bang forgot her as soon as he turned around and was never called lucky again.
On one occasion, Liu Bang was in a good mood and found several concubines to drink and have fun with them. Two of the beauties and Bo's women are good sisters, and they came to Liu Bang's palace from the harem of the tomb king of Wei together. Before they were developed, the three girls had agreed not to forget their old friends when they were rich.
However, these two women only want to pursue prosperity, where can they remember their sisters who were in trouble together? The two of them told this agreement to Liu Bang as a joke. Hearing this, Liu Bang felt pity for Bo Nv, so he decided to call her that night and let her bathe Long En.
In the past, the thin woman was very close to these two beauties, who were taken captive from Wei Palace. These three people are as good as sisters. Who would have thought that today is a different world? People laugh and laugh every night, flattered, but here is a deserted place, suffering alone for a long night. Bertie's women often burst into tears at the thought of this.
On this day, Bo secretly shed tears again, indignant at the unfair fate, and suddenly heard that Liu Bang was coming. Bo got up trembling to welcome him. Liu bang saw the thin figure of this woman, with swollen eyes and no makeup. She suddenly lost interest and turned to leave. At this time, Bo's woman somehow got up the courage, grabbed Liu Bang's sleeve and told her that she dreamed that the black dragon was wrapped around herself last night, and she had sexual intercourse with the dragon. She asked Liu Bang what this sign meant. At this moment, Liu Bang is in the most critical moment of competing with the overlord Chu for the world. He was overjoyed at what Bob said, saying it was a good omen for aristocratic status, so he favored Bob that day. On this short happy night, Bo gave birth to a son, and Liu Bang named the child Liu Heng. Although the prince was born as he wished, the Bo family did not follow his original imagination. From then on, he can climb the dragon and attach himself to the phoenix, completely changing his humble status, but he is still a concubine, not a concubine. And Liu Heng, because his mother was not favored, rarely saw his father, and naturally he was not favored by Liu Bang. Mother and son have been living in the palace carefully.
Liu Bangyi * * * has eight sons, and all scholars have unhappy endings. Only when Liu Heng is not favored by Ji Bo and envied by Lv Hou can the mother and son save their lives.
In BC 180, Lv Hou, who had been in charge of the Han Dynasty for many years, died. Courtiers loyal to Liu plotted to destroy the Lu family and return Liu's descendants. When the ministers elected the heir to the throne, after comprehensive consideration, they rejected Liu Fei, king of Qi, and Liu Chang, king of Huainan, and finally unanimously elected Liu Heng, the acting king. In addition to Liu Heng's generosity and filial piety, his family (that is, Ji Bo's family) has no influence, and there will be no phenomenon of exclusive rights of consorts, which is also the main reason. As a result, Liu Heng, the king of the generation, was lucky to become emperor because his mother's family was poor.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty has been living a frugal life for 23 years, and the necessary equipment and articles such as palaces, gardens, bicycles, clothes, housing and transportation are still the same as in the past, and there is no increase. If we find something unfavorable to the people, we should immediately correct it and strive to benefit the people. He once wanted to build a terrace and ask craftsmen to do an accounting, asking for 100 Jin of gold. Wendi said: "One hundred Jin of gold is equivalent to the property of ten middle-class families. I inherited my late emperor's palace, and I often feel afraid and ashamed. Why should I build a terrace? " According to the conditions at that time, it was not a problem to build such a terrace, and it would not produce any bad results, but Wendy thought it was too expensive and gave up the idea. He often wears clothes sewn with thick black silk, and even his favorite Mrs. Shen is not allowed to mop the floor, and the curtains used are not allowed to be embroidered. He set an example for the world with his simplicity. When building a mausoleum for himself, he ordered that all tombs should be built with clay, and precious metals such as gold, silver, copper and tin should not be used for decoration. It was also ordered to build along the mountain, and no high graves were allowed. Before he died, he left a will saying, "Jia Sheng, a sage in this world, hates death. I will not bury him again, but hurt his life with heavy service." And repeatedly told the funeral to be simple.
Emperor Wen's frugality set an example for the ministers, which made the social atmosphere at that time advocate frugality and laid the foundation for the formation of "the rule of culture and scenery"
At the beginning of the ancient literati's accession to the throne, they rewarded meritorious deeds and placed their cronies, thus restoring the interests of Liu Zongshi. He also ordered the vassals to leave the capital and return to their fiefs, thus maintaining and consolidating their imperial power.
Liu Heng, Emperor Gaozu, was in office for 23 years, during which he pursued the national policy of "putting the people at ease". He peacefully solved frontier problems, such as South Guangdong; He also adopted the policy of combining affinity with alienation to deal with Xiongnu. During his reign, he worked hard to reduce war expenditure, attach importance to agriculture, reduce land tax and encourage production. Emperor Wendi was also careful in national affairs and personal expenses. He is a simple man, wearing only coarse silk clothes, and even his favorite Mrs. Shen can't wear long clothes that mop the floor and embroider expensive silk fabrics, thus putting an end to the imitation of luxury in the harem. He also abolished many kinds of torture that have been used since Qin and Han Dynasties, such as sitting in the same chair and corporal punishment, to teach people to educate people. As a result, the crime rate in the whole country has been declining. He did not blame his fault on his subjects, encouraged the people to speak the truth boldly, and abolished the crimes of libel and bad words. In addition, Wendi also reused some officials who dared to enforce the law, such as Feng Tang, Shang Wei and Zhang Shizhi. He took a series of measures to create a prosperous situation of "the rule of culture and scenery", and was also praised by later generations as the king of benevolent government and the master of wisdom.
Compared with other ancient emperors, it doesn't matter whether China Emperor Liu Heng is the real dragon emperor or the divine gift. He is a good emperor as long as he is kind to the people, merciful to the people, keeps political clarity and makes the Han Dynasty present a prosperous scene.
