The predecessor of Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty, Emperor Cheng of Han Dynasty, has been introduced in the previous article. He is a man with supreme love. As long as he falls in love, he will rush forward so hard that he won't even have a son and a half daughter left in the end. So Emperor Han Ai appeared. He was the king of Dingtao at that time. Emperor Hancheng intended to make him the Crown Prince, so he personally sent a letter to investigate. As a result, Liu Xin's children performed well and were taught to recite poems and learn to speak. After asking and answering questions, they persuaded Emperor Han Chengdi and immediately decided to appoint the seventeen-year-old boy as his successor. However, things are not as simple as they seem. It's just an option of Emperor Liu Xin. At that time, there were hundreds of princes and grandchildren, and there were many people to choose from. The throne is a necessary option for Liu Xin's success in life, and the prosperity of his family depends on his election. So, his grandmother racked her brains and spent a sum of money to buy a pillow towel from Zhao, the queen of Emperor Gaozu. Before Zhao Hede blew the pillow gently, Emperor Xian of Han did not hesitate to strangle his son. Now this little thing is a cinch. As the successor of the Liu Xin Empire, it was settled.
Two years later, Emperor Cheng of Han died on the dragon couch on business, and Emperor Ai of Han succeeded in inheriting the throne of the dynasty and began his legendary second life. Comrade Liu Xin, who has just succeeded to the throne, spends as much as he can, not half a penny, which is quite frugal and disgusting. At the same time, he is conscientious about state affairs, insists on doing his own thing, and shuts out eunuchs and other laymen. At that time, both inside and outside the ruling and opposition parties were gratified and felt that there was hope for national rejuvenation, and the court was anxious to see what could be done.
Eddie did this in the early days of his administration, which was inseparable from the fatuity of his predecessor. Emperor Han Chengdi is a fun-loving person, and his favorite fun project is sightseeing with his lover. The nature of the emperor's work determines that they can't become monks, but they can only be ascetic monks and spend decades in the Golden Temple to govern the country. It's a pity that Emperor Han Chengdi didn't realize this. He only cares about his family and seldom cares about the whole world. As a result, the Western Han Dynasty, which was restored through the efforts of Zhao Di and Xuan Di, once again fell on his deathbed. With this in mind, Liu Xin decided to make great achievements and revitalize the platform. That's what he thought, so he started, but it didn't end well. The law of China's historical development has repeatedly told us that behind a failed emperor, there are always one or more failed women. Behind Emperor Han Cheng, there are Zhao sisters, and behind Emperor Han Cheng, there is Queen Fu. Empress Fu is an ambitious, ambitious and moody woman. Han Aidi, who was brought up by her, is weak and dependent on her, resulting in a "weak mother" situation. In this regard, Minister Li Xun once remonstrated with Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty: "Please make great efforts to govern, and be determined to win. Don't list them."
Life is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. After Emperor Ai ruled the country for three years, his political career was reversed by the invasion of beautiful men. This man is Dong Xian. Dong Xian is the son of the Eastern Imperial Palace. At first, he was just a small official of Prince Scheeren. He has a personality, specifically handsome, so handsome that he can become a "beauty" by changing his hairstyle. Seeing that she has such good hardware, Dong Shuai made great efforts to develop her own software to make herself feminine, "soft" and "charming". Now, in a popular phrase, he is a neutral person.
In the second year of Jianping, Aidi met Dong Xian. If you want to add an attribute in front, it is "fatal", not only his life, but also the life of the Western Han Dynasty. After that, things got out of hand, and there was a fierce friction between Han Aidi and Dong Shuaige, which sparked an amazing love spark. The highest state of loving a person is "loving you more than loving yourself", and Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty has a deep understanding of this. The gold, silver and jewels in the palace were originally his private property, but he gave them to Dong Xian without hesitation, both of which were his own best and his own second. With jewelry, you have to have a house that can hold jewelry. Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty built a mansion outside the North Palace. The whole project is very huge. After the completion of Dong Mansion, it was resplendent and exquisite, but the door plaque was just replaced with the word "Forbidden City". With the house, the furnishings inside can't be shabby, so Emperor Han Ai even contracted all the utensils in their house. Every time something is placed, someone will come up with a plan, and then the emperor will personally review it. It can only be sent after it is approved. Jewelry, house and furniture are all complete. What if the thief doesn't catch him? Don't worry, Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty is a good lover and has the talent of raising children. Palace guards initially received his salary to protect his personal safety. Later, protecting the personal safety of Dong Xian's family became his salary, and it was 24 hours. Not to mention Dong Xian's family strolling in the street, accompanied by someone designated by his old man's house. Later, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty felt that he had given away almost everything he could see, so he began to give Dong Xian the identity of an intangible thing. But around the age of 20, Dong Xian was sealed in the customs and became a fu for the first time. Dong Xian became famous with Da Sikong and Da Situ. In the second year of Yuanshou, Xiongnu Khan came to Korea in person. At the banquet, they saw that all the ministers had beards. Only young Dong Xian walked in the front. Surprised, he asked the translator and asked the emperor to report back: "Fu Ma is young and a great sage." Khan believed it, and quickly congratulated Emperor Han Ai on getting a good minister.
Speaking of which, you must think that Emperor Han Ai is the best man in the world. Don't! I want to tell you that Emperor Aidi is the best person in the three realms. He not only wants to be Dong Xian's nanny among the dead, but also wants to be a nanny in the underworld. When he was building his own Yiling, he specially set aside a clearing beside it to repair Dong Xian's tomb, hoping that he would come to see him often after his death and talk about love. I really like it.
But before he died, Emperor Han Ai almost loved Dong Xian to death. For example, Emperor Ai of Han once got up early, and Dong Shuai, who was still dreaming, put a pillow on one of his sleeves. The emperor couldn't bear to disturb him, so he drew his sword and cut off his sleeves. At another banquet, Emperor Han Ai looked at Dong Xian with a smile and said, "I want to learn Buddhism, so what?" What do you mean? Is to give the throne of the emperor to Dong Xian. Wang hong, who was often present, immediately advised Eddie to give up the idea. I guess I was beaten, and I haven't mentioned it publicly since.
I've only heard of anthomaniac in the world before. After reading the story of Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty, I finally know that there is another kind of person called "grass idiot" in the world. But Cao Chi, after all, is a minority, a bit like a theorist of Heliocentrism, so in the eyes of ordinary people, Cao Chi is a monster, an alien, and their existence is a mistake. For example, Prime Minister Wang Jia sternly condemned in a letter: "Your Majesty has always been kind and wise because of extravagant enjoyment and imbalance between Yin and Yang, but now these faults are greatly ridiculed." After the scolding, the old man did not forget to curse, thinking that Dong Xian should "die of illness because of many complaints", meaning that he should die of natural causes. The emperor was very angry when he heard these words, and the consequences were very serious. Comrade Wang Jia was imprisoned. Disgruntled Prime Minister Wang went on a hunger strike, but it lasted for more than twenty days. Dong Shuai vomited blood and died before natural death.
In fact, love has been a luxury of emperors since ancient times, and the status of the person you like is a bit low. My parents don't agree, for fear that they won't give birth to dragon seeds. I like it a little too much, and the ministers don't agree, fearing that the boss will not do his duty; The person you like looks a little ugly, and the whole world refuses, for fear of scaring away international friends. Finally, few emperors will be with their true love. Some emperors who think they have found true love actually live in the lies of beautiful women, because they only love the throne and power, not the emperor himself. For example, Ming Xianzong, who loved Wan Guifei all her life, was killed by someone else with an abortion drug, but she was still infatuated.
As an emperor, the love behavior of Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty is undoubtedly inappropriate. Using the power given to him by the state to reward and ban Dong Xian at will can be described as seeking public interests and private interests; It is dereliction of duty to care about a man more than everyone in the world; Retaliating against the minister's suggestion can be described as fatuous and willful. But as a man who dares to love and hate, he is undoubtedly lovely and worthy of sympathy. Many emperors regard love as a plaything, and even cut it off from life for their own wealth. But Han Aidi didn't. As an emperor, he loved Dong Xian wholeheartedly until his death. This is a miracle for an emperor who never lacks beautiful women around him.
No matter how chaotic it is, Emperor Ai of Han can manage his front, but not his back. In June of the second year of Yuanshou, the 26-year-old Han Aidi died of illness. Because of her early death, Queen Jun Zheng, who had no political mind, let Wang's follwed rule the country. Follwed seized the general dissatisfaction with Dong Xian in the DPRK, first canceled Dong Xian's right of residence in the palace and drove their family out. Then he was relieved of his position as Fu Fu Fu. When Dong Xian learned of the disaster, he committed suicide with his wife that day, which was a double suicide for his beloved emperor. In this way, Wang Mang thought he faked his death with the heart of a villain, ordered an autopsy, and humiliated him by any means.
After several deposes, Wang Mang finally pacified the Dahan dynasty, and then established a new dynasty to replace it, and began a new dynasty replacement.
