Liu He was emperor for only 27 days. Why is there gold everywhere after his tomb was opened?

Liu He was just a prince at first, and his background was not good. He was assigned to Changyi a long time ago, so he was also called the King of Changyi. Arguably, the throne has nothing to do with him.

Later, Huo Guang was emperor for more than 20 days because of behind-the-scenes manipulation, and was abolished because of extravagance and waste.

However, there are a lot of gold, silver and jewels in his tomb, and the number of his funerary objects shocked the archaeological community. In fact, his funerary objects may come from two sources.

The first is that although he has only been in office for more than 20 days, the whole world belongs to him for more than 20 days. He must have taken the opportunity to hunt for treasure crazily, and there were amazing collections in the palace of the great man at that time. At that time, he was bohemian all day and didn't care what he was doing. He wanted to collect treasures in Chang 'an during that time and secretly transport them back to his hometown in Changyi.

This may be because he knew that Huo Guang made him emperor, that is, it was a temporary measure, and it was inevitable that he would waste himself, so he squandered it as soon as he started, so it was strange that he didn't take the opportunity to collect more gold, silver and jewelry.

The second source is his fief Changyi. Although this place was desolate at that time, there was a transportation hub around it. It has a superior geographical location, excellent geology and developed agriculture. In that era of agriculture, as long as you master the developed agricultural areas, you will have inexhaustible money.

Moreover, this place is not only developed in agriculture, but also a gathering place for transportation and freight. Merchant ships enter the Yellow River from here. At that time, the most famous road was Noon Road, and Changyi happened to be the intersection of this noon road.

Of course, in addition to Changyi's local income and smuggled back from Chang 'an, some of it must have been left to him by his parents, because his grandmother was the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his father was an only child, so all the rewards were given to his father, and then they must have been passed on to him.

This is also well-founded. First of all, those horseshoe gold and exquisite gold wares are not available to ordinary people, either given by the emperor or obtained by himself when he was emperor.

In addition, it is certain that the local income in Changyi was high at that time because there were a lot of five baht in it. More than ten tons of five baht money can't come from the royal family, only from the people. Other musical instruments and lacquerware are because he is a hedonist, and these things are definitely necessary.
