/kloc-in 0/7, the heroes of the peasants' uprising army rose in western Hubei.

In 23 AD, Liu Xuan was declared emperor by the hero of Greenwood.

In 23 AD, he killed his younger brother Liu.

In 23 AD, the outlaw hero invaded Chang 'an, killed Wang Mang, and the new dynasty perished.

In 24 AD, Liu Xuan moved the capital to Chang 'an.

In 25 AD, Liu Xuan was killed. The renewed regime collapsed.

The original emperor Liu Xuan became emperor only because he was a descendant of Liu Bang. He had no military power and was easy to control. In this way, Liu Xuan was named emperor by outlaws. Liu Xuan has no king's temperament. When he moved to Chang 'an, he didn't dare to look up at the minister who congratulated him, as if he had done something wrong. However, such a vulgar person is very jealous of talents and eats, drinks and plays. He killed Liu, who almost made him emperor, but no politician was ruthless. He did not kill Liu's younger brother, the founding monarch of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which made him rapidly expand his power in the near future and in turn competed with him for the world. Liu Xuan was destined not to be the founding monarch. After destroying Wang Mang's regime and moving the capital to Chang 'an, Liu Xuan did not destroy other peasant rebels and consolidated his regime, but could not wait to enjoy the splendor. It is strange that such an emperor should not be killed.

In A.D. 17, the Greenwood Rebel led by Wang Kuang and Wang Feng revolted in western Hubei.

At this time, Liu Xuan also came to join the volunteers. The reason why he joined the rebels is simple, that is, to escape the government's pursuit. His brother was killed by the enemy, so Liu Xuan found some people to avenge his brother, but before the revenge was reported, his friend offended the local sheriff at the party. The timid Liu Xuan was afraid of something and ran away quickly. Liu Xuan, who was hiding in Tibet, also tried to escape from the government. Later, he heard that Mu Chen, a Linping native, raised the flag and surrendered. Mu Chen accepted him and appointed him as a logistics officer. Originally, Liu Xuan was such a small official who lived at leisure, but fate chose him, so that the timid emperor Liu Xuanan left his name in the history books of China. He became emperor because there were many factions within the outlaw hero, which could not be unified. In order to coordinate their actions, all the rebels advocated that an emperor should be established to take charge of the overall situation. On behalf of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang stood on his own feet, and various rebel armies called for resistance to the new restoration of the Han Dynasty, so Sergeant Lvlin decided to establish an A as Emperor Liu. Liu, fully armed and personable, is the most promising. However, some factions among outlaws were afraid of Liu, so they found someone who had neither military power nor courage, and named him "the emperor who turned over a new leaf", which caused a fait accompli. Liu and his supporters have to acquiesce.

In 23 AD, Liu Xuan ascended the altar, proclaimed himself emperor, and appeared before ministers. Facing the fighters under the altar, he was so ashamed that he was full of sweat and tongue-tied. After half a day, he stammered that Jianyuan was "starting a new stove", worshiping Wang Kuang as the monarch, Wang Feng as the monarch, Fu, Stuart and General.

Liu, who didn't become emperor, vented all his anger on Wang Mang's new army. In the battle with Kunyang, Wang Mang was cornered and the two brothers became famous.

Liu Xuan naturally thinks that the Liu brothers are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so he is ready to kill Liu He. Liu Xuan tried to kill Liu at the Hongmen banquet, but this may be like Xiang Yu in those days and let Liu go. However, Liu Xuan is not Xiang Yu, but he didn't do it because he was timid.

Liu finally escaped, but before long, his men took him into the underworld. This man's name is Liu Ji, and he is a bit brave. When he heard that he wanted to kill Liu, he swore. His words soon spread to Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan arrested this foolhardy idiot general. Liu went to intercede, was arrested and killed with Liu Ji.

If Liu Xuanzhen had some qualities of a politician, he would have killed Liu's younger brother, but he was not a politician. Liu Xiu, who is leading troops outside, is, after all, the material of a founding monarch. He was very sad when he heard that his brother had been killed, but he rushed to Wancheng to apologize. Liu's family greeted him without saying anything but blaming themselves. He dared not mourn for his brother, but forced a smile. Seeing this, Liu Xuan felt ashamed. He didn't kill him, but worshipped him as General Lu and made Wu Xinhou.

After killing Liu, his confidant, he ordered the soldiers to split up and head for Chang 'an, where Wang Mang was located. Soon, his army invaded Chang 'an and killed Wang Mang. After conquering Luoyang, Liu Xuan moved to Luoyang. On the day of entering the city, he and his men also made a big joke. These insurgents are just farmers, have never seen the world, and have not been trained in Confucian etiquette. When they were happy, they put green flowers on their bodies and strutted into Luoyang. People who are deeply poisoned by Confucianism think that this is "taking the demon", and there will be a catastrophe, and they will run to other places to hide.

After moving the capital to Luoyang, Liu Xuan made the biggest mistake in his life, that is, he sent Liu Xiu to Hebei, which quickly expanded his influence. After seeing Liu Xiu off, Liu Xuan moved to Chang 'an in AD 24.

Liu Xuan, who entered Chang 'an, thought that the world was settled and he was already at ease, so his playful temperament began to swell. Like other bad kings, Liu Xuan indulged in debauchery, spoiled Mrs. Zhao, the daughter of Zhao Meng, and gave all the power to Zhao Meng. Zhao Meng played politics and made a mess of state affairs, but the generals who established Liu Xuan didn't take Liu Xuan seriously and naturally didn't listen to his edicts, so the newly established regime began to appear crisis.

When Liu Xuan met the minister in the palace, his face flushed and he couldn't say a word, but in the harem, he and his concubines were colorful. He spends all day drinking and having fun with his concubines in the backyard, without asking about politics. When the minister has something to report to him, he is always too drunk to receive the minister. Liu Xuan came up with a way to let the waiter sit in the curtain to see the priest. Mrs. Han is a favorite, likes to drink, and often drinks with Emperor Hu Shi. When she saw a minister reporting political affairs, she scolded, "The emperor just sat down to drink with me, and you are neither too early nor too late. Now come to report."

What he did aroused the dissatisfaction of the courtiers and was also used by another rebel army, the Red Eyebrow Army. The Red Eyebrow Army didn't want to submit to Liu Xuan, so it set up a little emperor-Liu Penzi to build the world. When the outlaw hero captured Chang 'an, the Red Eyebrow Army also came to carve up the fruits of victory. At this time, the renewed regime finally suffered from infighting. The Red Eyebrow Army took the opportunity to attack Chang 'an. When Liu Xuan heard the news, he ran away alone. A group of concubines shouted at the back: "Your Majesty, now Ma Xiecheng!" Geng Di dismounted to thank humbly, then got on the horse and ran away.

Later, in desperation, Liu Xuan surrendered to the Red Eyebrow Army, was named King of Changsha, and was soon killed by the Red Eyebrow Army.
