Xuan Di, the Emperor Gaozu, said that Liu He was "not taboo", but why did he keep a close watch on him and fight incessantly?

Although Xuan Di thought Liu He was taboo, he still had to closely monitor Liu He's behavior and even attacked Liu He many times. This is because Liu He was once an emperor after all. Although he has been sent back to China in Liu He, he is still alive, and it is inevitable that someone will persuade him to rebel again and let him become emperor again. After all, everyone wants to sit in the position of emperor, let alone the former emperor Liu He.

This is one of the reasons why Liu He was later named seasick by Emperor Xuan Di. Liu He later told others that he regretted not taking Huo Guang down first. Liu He's words made Xuan Di wonder if Liu He had any bad intentions. So in those days, Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di thought Liu He was a taboo, but he still paid close attention to him. This is because Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is still very worried about the existence of Liu He.

In addition, Liu He's family background is far greater than that of Xuan Di. When Liu He's father almost became emperor, Liu He was the orthodox descendant of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Therefore, the branch of Liu He is very recognized by the people. Emperor Xuan Di was originally just a prisoner. In those days, Huo Guang elected him emperor because Huo Guang thought that there was no big background behind Xuan Di and Xuan Di was easier to control, so he chose Xuan Di.

Xuan Di, Emperor Gaozu, thought that Liu He was not taboo, because Xuan Di and Huo Guang had the same position on Liu He. Moreover, Xuan Di is good at forbearance, and will not face the conflict with Huo Guang directly like Liu He, which will lead to Huo Guang's ousting himself.
