Chapter 243 Liu He Is Still Too Young
"From this point of view, it can also be explained that Marquis Haihun pays more attention to agriculture."

"Jitian is one of the etiquettes for praying for a good harvest. Although it is not stipulated that all nobles have to do the Jitian ceremony, but those who can do this kind of behavior, even if it is just a hypocrisy, it also shows that Haihunhou knows the importance of persuading farming. .”

Kong Jianwen stroked his chin and kept thinking.

Since the excavation of Haihunhou's tomb began, the unearthed cultural relics have completely refreshed the inherent impression of Haihunhou that modern people have learned through history books.

The image of Haihunhou who loves to read and pays attention to farming began to emerge in everyone's mind.

Most of these bronze tripods from Jitian were cast when Haihunhou was the king of Changyi, and a small part was cast when he was Haihunhou.

This shows that before Liu He became emperor, he was already a vassal king who had attached great importance to agriculture.

After that, after being demoted to Liehou, he was still practicing the work of persuading farmers.

At least from this point of view, Haihunhou seems to have the qualities that a "Ming Jun" should have.

To tell the truth.

Before Huo Guang made Liu He the emperor, wouldn't he conduct a thorough inspection of Liu He?
Investigate his behavior and handling of affairs in Changyi, as well as the views of the local people on this vassal king, and the evaluation of this vassal king in the clan?

Although, it is not necessary to be famous, but at least it must not have a bad reputation!

It is impossible for Huo Guang to support a clan prince with a bad reputation to be the emperor of the great man, right?
Obviously, in real history, Liu He should have the best reputation among the princes and princes of the clan, and the most "son of heaven" temperament, caring about the people's livelihood, and a relatively wise prince.

Then why did Liu He do more than 27 bad things in 1000 days after he succeeded the emperor, which made Huo Guang unbearable, and then quickly abolished it?

"By the way, the last thing Liu He did before he was deposed was to replace the Changle Palace Weiwei."

"Zizhi Tongjian Hanji Sixteen" records: Changyi king has been established, and there is no limit.All Changyi officials were conscripted to Chang'an, and they were often promoted to worship officials.Xiang An Le moved to Changle Wei Wei.

What does that mean?

It was Liu He who, after becoming the emperor, was so violent that he conscripted all his subordinate officials when he was the king of Changyi to Chang'an, and awarded them high-ranking officials.

He also directly promoted Changyi Prime Minister to Changle Palace Weiwei.

This Changle Palace Wei Wei, although on the surface, is the general who guards the Queen Mother's palace.

But in fact, because in the Han Dynasty system, the empress dowager was the biggest in the palace, and even the empress dowager had to share part of the emperor's rights.

Therefore, in the imperial palace of the Western Han Dynasty, the guard of Changle Palace is the supreme commander who has mastered the guards of the entire Han Dynasty palace group. He can mobilize all the troops guarding the imperial palace.

That is to say, Changle Palace Weiwei is actually the last line of defense guarding the palace.

Generally speaking, this position has to be a confidant of the empress dowager, and only the emperor's confidant ministers can do it.

After all, it is an elite force defending the palace.

Liu He had only been enthroned for twenty days, and planned to replace the guard of Changle Palace arranged by Huo Guang himself with his confidant.

He also promoted his subordinate officials of the Changyi Kingdom to high officials in the court and took control of important official positions.

This undoubtedly shook Huo Guang's authority.

Is it right for Liu He to do this?

From the emperor's point of view, that's absolutely correct.

After Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty came to the central government from Dai Wang and succeeded to the throne, all the subordinate officials of the Dai Kingdom were also promoted rapidly.

One emperor and one courtier.

Any new emperor who comes to power must tidy up the court and promote his confidantes to control the country.

However, can Liu He compare with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Can Huo Guang compare with Zhou Bo again?
Although Zhou Bo supported Emperor Han Wen, he was really dedicated to the foundation created by Emperor Han Gao.

And in terms of power tactics, Zhou Bo, who is good at conquest on the battlefield, is a bit dull, and he will definitely not be able to play against the political actor Han Wendi.

Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty could easily find a reason to drive Zhou Bo back to the fief to farm.

Can Liu He easily drive Huo Guang back to the fief to farm?
Huo Guang is not half as good at fighting as his brother Huo Qubing.

But when it comes to political struggle, Huo Qubing is not as good as Huo Guang!

When Liu He succeeded to the throne, Huo Guangquan was in power. It can be said that as long as he has the heart, there will be nothing wrong with Wang Mang. Han has already been usurped by Huo Guang!
At that time, when Zhulu was overthrown, at least the Central Committee of the Western Han Dynasty still had many factions involved, and there were also local princes and kings of the Liu family.

What Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was facing was not a united political team, but an alliance that was united temporarily to overthrow Zhulu, which could be divided and resolved.

However, the Huo family could be said to have controlled all important positions in the court back then, and Huo Guang could decide all matters of the country with one word.

He alone controlled the entire court!
It's not an emperor, it's like an emperor!
Faced with such a powerful minister, Liu He was busy installing his confidants as soon as he succeeded to the throne. Could this prevent Huo Guang from feeling that his rights were threatened?

no Zuo no Die!
It would be strange if this could not be abolished!

It can only be said that although Liu He is considered a famous clan, he succeeded to the throne of Changyi at the age of six or seven. He has never really experienced the cruel political struggle, and he is still too naive.

After being established as the emperor, he thought that all the officials obeyed and his subordinates were sensible, just like when he succeeded the king of Changyi.

Can't wait to start exercising his kingship.

As everyone knows, what Huo Guang wants is an emperor who is like a marionette, not an emperor who is ambitious and eager to seize power.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who succeeded Liu He, understood this truth.

As an emperor who was born in prison and lived among the people before becoming an emperor, Liu Bingji (Liu Xun)'s life was not as smooth as Liu He's.

Although his age when he succeeded to the throne was about the same as Liu He's age when he succeeded to the throne, they were both seventeen or eighteen years old.

But Liu Bingji, who has experienced the hardships of the people, is a young and mature man, and he knows the horror of the power struggle in the adult world.

So after he succeeded to the throne, he still obeyed Huo Guang in everything and respected Huo Guang very much. In front of Huo Guang, he was a ruthless stamping machine.

Liu Bingji understood a truth, he had one advantage that Huo Guang would never have, that is, he was young enough.

Relying on age can make Huo Guang die!
Liu Bingji negotiated a posthumous title for the abolition of the prince first, positioned himself as Liu Fuling's successor, and firmly consolidated the throne so that Huo Guang could no longer abolish him at will like he did with Liu He.

On the one hand, he kept making a statement that he would obey Huo Guang in everything, even if Huo Guang tried to test him by returning the government, he insisted on not accepting it.

Only then did he stabilize his throne, and after Huo Guang's death, Liu Bingji awakened the blood of the Liu family's "settling accounts after autumn", and uprooted Huo Guang's three sons, including the Huo family.

Then he became Zhongzong, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty who rejuvenated the Western Han Dynasty and led the Western Han Dynasty to its peak and prosperity!
However, if Liu He could have the three-point tolerance of Liu Bingji, he wouldn't be deposed as the emperor after only 27 days!
It can only be said that the flowers raised in the greenhouse are indeed not as fragrant as the wild flowers that come out of the people!
Several accomplished emperors in the Western Han Dynasty all started from the beginning.

Liu Bang, the founder of the country, was only a village cadre in his 40s.

Later, Emperor Hanwen and Emperor Hanjing who created the rule of Wenjing, before becoming emperors, the whole family gnawed sand on behalf of the country. When it was cold in winter, they didn't even have a thick quilt, and the brothers had to hug each other to keep warm.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who rejuvenated the Han Dynasty and created the most prosperous period of the Han Dynasty, was born in prison. He lived in the folk for the first 18 years of his life and knew the suffering of the people.

These emperors can all be called wise and prosperous kings.

Apart from these few emperors, among the remaining emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, the most outstanding Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although his martial arts were excellent, his martial arts were very comprehensive, and he had no eyes on the people, only his conquest.

Emperor Wu has been in power for so many years, although the national copyright has expanded a lot, he has created incomparably outstanding martial arts.

But the country's population has been halved, the people are poor, and they don't even have a stutter.

It forced Emperor Wu to issue his own edict to admit his mistakes in his later years, and begged the people to forgive him.

Although Emperor Wu's martial arts are excellent, he is undoubtedly the first emperor through the ages, but for the common people, the three emperors Wen Jingxuan who have tasted the sufferings of the world are the emperors who really make the common people happy.

　It is difficult to judge the merits and demerits of the emperor.

　　Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obviously did more than his faults. Without the creation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there would be no prosperity of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

　　But, the history of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is obviously much more than that of other Ming emperors in the Han Dynasty.

　　He didn't learn the frugality of his father and grandfather, built palaces wantonly, and forcibly expropriated the people's fat and anointing. The second emperor Wen Jing finally reduced the burden on the people. It's true that I can't survive.

　　If it weren't for Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to wipe his ass, live with the people, and work in internal affairs for more than 20 years, he could understand the country's riddled economy and reduce the heavy taxation on the people to the level of Wen Jing, and it would be impossible to have Prosperity appeared.
