The most affectionate emperor in history was born in prison and grew up among the people. He married the daughter of a bodyguard and never abandoned the dross.

In 9 1 year BC, Chang' an, the imperial capital of the Western Han Dynasty, was flooded with blood because of an imaginary "witchcraft disaster". Tens of thousands of people were killed in a pool of blood, including not only ordinary people and witches, but also powerful ministers and military commanders, countless relatives and friends, and even Liu Yuxin, the heir personally selected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in.

On a sultry afternoon in July that year, Chang 'an Prison accepted a special prisoner, a baby boy who was less than half a year old and still in infancy. He has a name that seems strange to people nowadays: Liu Bingyi.

In the Western Han Dynasty, people may not pay much attention to the named names. For example, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu, had a son after a one-night stand with others before marriage. Guess what he named his son?

Liu Fei Street!

Hehe, Fat Liu, this name is really funny. Fat Liu's name is indecent, but his life destination is enviable. After his father proclaimed himself emperor, he was made King of Qi, ruling 73 cities. What a wealth!

It seems that his father named him Liu Fei that year, that's right.

Also, Liu Bang's wife is called pheasant. Pheasants are pheasants. Don't underestimate this pheasant. She is very famous, known as the Queen Mother of He Lu. She is the first great woman in China's history to take charge of state affairs. Who can be the enemy of all women in the world?

Also, Liu Bang has a great-grandson named Bi. Bi is a pig. This pig is not simple. He was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who later changed his name to Che. "Qin Huang Hanwu" is an achievement beyond the common customs. Do you dare to laugh at a man named "pig" now?

So, the name is just a symbol. Nowadays, people can look up several dictionaries in order to give their newborns a nice name, which makes the ancients feel ashamed.

Let's talk about our hero Liu Bingyi. Actually, his name is also quite good. "Sick" means cured. Like "getting sick" in contemporary Huo Qubing, it means to stay away from evil and yearn for beauty.

Besides, his illness just shows his life. Born in troubled times, he is a sick man. His first stop in life was a dark and damp cell, and later he mistakenly ascended the throne of the emperor.

He was the first great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was later renamed Xuan Di of Liu Xun.

There are also good people in Chang 'an Prison. Everyone sympathizes with this royal descendant who was destroyed at birth. Just like the radish head that grew up in Chongqing Zhazidong, it was also warmly treated by the prisoners. The managers of Chang 'an Prison specially prepared a single room for minor ailments, and also found two female prisoners who were breastfeeding to take care of him.

The years in prison were much calmer than the years of bleeding outside. It is under such special circumstances that Liu Bingyi can grow up healthily and not die.

2/ The common love between the fallen emperor and his grandson

Four years later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally realized that he had been used by villains. When he heard that his great-great-grandson was imprisoned, he ordered him to be pardoned and asked his relatives in Liu Bingyi to bring him back. But by this time, his family had died all over the country, without any close relatives, and he could only be raised by his grandmother's brother Shi Gong.

Although "sin" was pardoned, his royal status did not recover, because his status in prison was worse than that of ordinary people.

A year later, the dying Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty remembered his great-grandson who lived among the people and left a letter: Please register your surname and adopt. Although Liu Bingyi's imperial clan status was recognized by law, he was not completely free. He was sent to Ye Ting to be taken care of by a company.

Yiting is a very special place, different from ordinary prisons. This is a labor camp located in the palace. There are small units such as health group, greening group and textile group. Especially for the royal family and servants who made mistakes. Liu Bingyi was assigned to the textile group because he was a child and had no job. In addition, Zhang He, an old subordinate of his grandfather Ji, was later castrated because of his own mistakes and transferred to the Royal Labor Camp to grow up on the spot. He took good care of his old master's grandson's minor illness. Liu Bingyi enjoys the privilege that most people don't have, and can wander around Ye Ting.

The court told Zhang He not to forget the old feelings and take good care of them. He used his salary to provide learning for Liu Bingyi, and invited famous teachers to explain Confucian classics such as The Book of Songs, The Analects of Confucius and The Book of Filial Piety. Although he grew up in the palace, he often went out of the palace, combining theoretical knowledge with social practice and making many ordinary people. He also deeply felt the sufferings of the people and created a charming personality charm in the suffering. All this makes Zhang He look in his eyes and enjoy himself. This child is really a great person.

He wants to marry his granddaughter when he grows up. His younger brother, Zhang Anshi, who was an official in North Korea, resolutely opposed it and angrily scolded his older brother for not knowing the times. The new emperor has just come to power. What are the benefits of hooking up with an emperor's grandson? Zhang He didn't forget it.

Because Yiting is located in the harem, its managers are eunuchs. Many eunuchs in the Han Dynasty had wives and children, and they were castrated because of their mistakes and entered the palace as officials. For example, ordering Zhang He in court. In addition, Xu Guanghan, the caretaker of Liu Bingyi Textile Group, also entered the palace halfway.

When Xu Guanghan was young, he was the bodyguard of Liu Bo, the fifth son of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and filial piety king. On a trip with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he mistook other people's saddles for his own. The result was classified as theft and beheaded according to law. When Xu Guanghan was in prison, the emperor had new instructions that prisoners on death row could be sentenced to castration. To survive, Xu Guanghan gritted his teeth and had his penis cut off. After entering the palace, he became a miser in the emergency room and a discipline inspection cadre in Liu Bingyi.

Xu Guanghan has a daughter the same age as Liu Bingyi, whose name is Xu Pingjun. Jun Xiaoping had long been engaged to someone else as his wife, but his fiance died before he got married. After learning the news, Zhang Ran proposed to his daughter. Xu is also a good eye, and has always been optimistic about the victim's grandson, so he agreed to this marriage.

Concubine 15, Lang 16, is an excellent age to solve life events. Under the control of Zhang He, Liu Bingyi soon married Xu Pingjun.

After marriage, with the support of Zhang He and Xu Guanghan, Liu Bingyi rented a house outside the palace and started a new life.

Liu Bingyi, who has never enjoyed the warmth of home, can really taste the sweetness of life. The young couple love each other deeply. A year later, they gave birth to a son, Liu Shi.

3/ Never abandon dross in front of power.

Life in the palace is calm, but the situation outside the palace is mysterious. In just over ten years, great events happened frequently in the imperial court.

First, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died. On his deathbed, Emperor Wudi entrusted an orphan to Huo Guang, and his eight-year-old son, Emperor Wudi Liu Fuling, succeeded him. That year, Liu Bingyi was five years old.

In April of the first year of Yuanping, Zhao Han, who had been in office for only thirteen years, collapsed. That year, Liu Bingyi was seventeen years old and had just got married and had children.

Emperor gaozu, childless, Huo Guang, the incumbent general, made the king of Changyi, Wei Liu, far away in Nanchang.

Liu He is the owner of the tomb of Hunhou in the Western Han Dynasty. In recent years, archaeologists have unearthed many treasures here. Unfortunately, this man only ruled for 27 days. Because of disobedience, he was ousted by Huo Guang. He was the emperor with the shortest reign in history and was called Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

A

One day in July, Liu Bingyi was taken to Weiyang Palace by Huo Guang to see the Empress Dowager, and was named Yang Wuhou. Later, with the support of Huo Guang and others, Liu Bingyi became the emperor, that is, the emperor of Xuan Di. At this point, Liu Bingyi, a boy of 17 years old who has changed his name to Liu Xun, became the master of the world and was named Xu Pingjun.

Xuan Di knew that his position was given to him by the powerful Huo Guang, but he didn't dare to be careless. If Mr. Huo doesn't get what he wants, he won't even die. His predecessor, Liu He, is the best illustration.

At the beginning of the reign of Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he respected and feared Huo Guang and obeyed him.

At this point, Manchu officials, under the hint of the Huo family, tried their best to promote marriage with the Huo family, demanding that Huo Guang's daughter be the queen.

Marriage with Huo family is conducive to political stability; In private, if you marry your mother's daughter, you can keep your life and your throne. In the eyes of others, this is a simple multiple-choice question. However, for Liu Xun, who just proclaimed himself emperor, the hand of writing is as important as the hand of fate. If he marries Huo's daughter, what should he do with his wife Xu Pingjun?

Liu Xun is a clever man. He neither promised nor refused. Instead, it gave an inexplicable imperial edict: "I used to have a Gu Jian when I was poor, but now I have lost it. I miss it very much. Please find a way to help me find it. "

Fortunately, the princes are not too stupid. After careful consideration, they realized the mind of the young emperor. So, they wrote together and asked Xu Pingjun to be the queen.

In June 2008, Xu Pingjun was officially awarded the title of Queen.

This is the most romantic imperial edict in the history of China, and it is the emperor's promise to poor girls. Now that I think about it, Xuan Di's interpretation of the story of "Eternal Dragon Slayer" is still very touching.

If you love someone, you have to stick to it. Even life, Wan Li mountains and rivers, a thousand helplessness are not enough to be an excuse for compromise.

4/ Love and hate a cup of dirt

Queen Ann came to power, but the Huo family didn't give up. A year later, the Huo family secretly bribed the palace doctor. Results Xu Pingjun, who was only seventeen years old, was poisoned during childbirth.

Xu Pingjun's accidental death broke Liu Xun's heart. As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. In that case, he had to bear it.

After the death of Queen Xu, the Huo family finally succeeded in marrying their daughter Huo into the palace and became the second queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

After entering the palace, Huo has all the characteristics of a rich girl, willful and profligate. Although she is good at keeping pets at home and Queen Huo didn't give birth to a son and a half for Xian Di, Xian Di still didn't abandon her. He must be kind to the women who follow him. Facing women, Emperor Xuan Di's heart was made of water. However, Huo has a crazy mother, so her life has become a tragedy. The crazy woman's name is very famous, because her surname is not recorded in the history books, and because she is Huo Guang's wife, later generations call her Huo Xian.

The reason is that after the death of Huo Guang, Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di immediately made Liu Shi, the son of Xu Pingjun, the Crown Prince. This made Huo Xian very angry. Huo Xian ordered his daughter Huo to poison the prince in the palace. At the instigation of her mother, Queen Huo made several moves and failed several times. Later, the crazy Huo Xian called on his people to revolt and wanted to get rid of Liu Xun, and made his son Huo Yu, the younger brother of Queen Huo, emperor. As a result, the Huo family did everything except Queen Huo.

As a result, Huo was deposed from the second place and put in the cold shoulder. After being put in limbo 12 years, Huo Cheng Jun committed suicide. At this point, Xuan Di finally avenged his wife Xu Pingjun.

Liu Xun was not only immersed in love, but also one of the few successful emperors in the history of China.

During his reign, he paid attention to reducing the burden on the people and restoring and developing agricultural production. Externally, Wusun defeated the Xiongnu, pacified Xiqiang, established the Western Regions' Capital Protection House, and formally incorporated the Western Regions into the territory. Liu Xun period is the most prosperous period in the history of the Western Han Dynasty, which is called "filial piety" and "filial piety revival".

His contribution

In December of the first year of Huanglong, Liu Xun died in Weiyang Palace and was buried in Lingdu. After abandoning love and hate, he returned to Xu Pingjun, the woman he once loved deeply.

From then on, no one can separate them.
