How did Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty become one of the few dead monarchs who had a good ending?

Dong Zhuo

Mention of the dead monarchs basically leave people with the tragic end of the death or death of his hands, looking at the history of the dynasty rarely have a good end, since the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties thousands of years since the light, it can be said to be able to save the life of the good results of a few people, the dead monarchs do not necessarily be a dim king, but they are faced with an impenetrable predicament in the face of a declining political crisis, very few people can save the tide and create a new dynasty, Han Xian Emperor is the same. In the face of the political crisis, few people are able to save the day and create a new dynasty, and this is also the case with Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. The three kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty is one of the most chaotic times in Chinese history, and the crises and problems accumulated in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years exploded in a concentrated manner, and Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty left us with a mediocre monarch in the past novels or dramas. But because of the situation and can not play only, perhaps in the world of peace he will be a good Lord, but he was born at the end of the dynasty had no choice but to become a dead monarch.

Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, in fact, the beginning is not the heir to the throne designated by the court, could have been a lifetime of peace to do their own Chenliu King, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, since childhood, intelligent and his half-brother Liu Defenders compared to the more calm, and the lesser Emperor Liu Defenders some frivolity, since childhood, due to hide in the folk and not the king's temperament, the later years of Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, had been considering whether to change the Prince, but could not go against the tradition of the firstborn first, the first to be the first. In the later years of his reign, Emperor Lingdi considered whether to change the crown prince, but was unable to do so without violating the traditional practice of giving priority to the first-born. When Emperor Ling died, the eunuchs and courtiers started an internal fight, while the foreign relative General He Jin killed eunuchs, and finally He Jin, who was a pig killer, was killed by Zhang Jiang, Duan? The eunuchs killed, the entire Luoyang can be described as a sad, chaotic mass, in order to kill the Ten Constant Attendants to maintain the political situation of the Han Dynasty, not yet dead before the He Jin called the garrison Liangzhou Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo this person is very reckless, can be described as a strange, because of the participation of the Yellow Turbans Uprising to quell the rebels and the Liangzhou Rebellion and the performance of all the good and the court is valued.

Dong Zhuo did not stop killing after entering Luoyang, and in order to take control of the dynasty, he abolished the young emperor Liu Wei and changed Liu Xie to be the emperor, who was in fact a puppet and a flag, so as to command the world, and later Cao Cao may have learned this trick. At the time, the 8-year-old Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had no idea what to do when he ascended to the throne, and was at the mercy of Dong Zhuo, whose unpopularity was so great that he was forced to raise an army from all over the country to crush Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo was killed by his own godson Lu Bu, Han Xian Di into the hands of other vassals and warlords, Han Xian Di love the people like a son, Xingping first year that is 194 A.D. Chang'an city of cannibalism, in order to appease the people, Liu Xie pro-ordered to send people to cook porridge for the relief of the people, which in the end of the dynasty monarchs are really rare.

It can be said that Emperor Xian had been living a life of upheaval before he met Cao Cao. In 196 AD, Cao Cao welcomed the Son of God into Luoyang and then blackmailed Liu Xie to go to Xudu, although the later generations of Cao Cao's behavior of hijacking the Son of God was not shameful, but it preserved the life of Emperor Xian. Cao Cao killed those involved but spared Emperor Xian. When Empress Fushou died in seclusion, Cao Cao married his daughter, Cao Jie, to Emperor Xian, who, despite being the son of heaven at the time, was unable to restore the fractured Eastern Han Dynasty, and was finally forced to abdicate as emperor in 220 A.D. Cao Pi, who made him Duke of Shanyang and allowed Liu Xie to build a Han clan temple to honor the Han Shuo. "I can enjoy all the good things in the world with you".

Han Xian Emperor Zen went to the fiefdom of Shanyang Gong country (now near Jiaozuo City, Henan Province), the capital of the country for the Turbid Deer County, and Liu Xie here, while the descendants are safe and sound, since Cao Wei Feng Shanyang Gong country has been to the end of the Western Jin Dynasty when the five hu chaotic China was destroyed, before and after the extension of nearly a hundred years time, it is not easy. Liu Xie lost the throne and Mrs. Shanyang also known as Cao Jie (Cao Cao's daughter, Cao Pi sister) and his family came to live here, Liu Xie in the Shanyang Duchy in the heart for the people's plight to run, there is no halo of Liu Xie is more to put down the identity of the past, and now we all know a lot of appellation has a close relationship with the Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie.

Cao Jie

These allusions described, when Liu Xie was Cao Pi depreciation, he was enlightened, and the people with the sweet **** bitter, intelligent Liu Xie early years of Chinese medicine research, so in the Duke of Shanyang country he pots to help the world, loved by the people, which is known as the father of the "big" and the mother's The names "Da" (father) and "Mei" (mother) originated from Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. At that time, in Shanyang Gongguo, Liu Xie was called "Da Da" by the people, while Cao Jie was called "Mei Mei", and they were honored as their parents, referred to as "Da" and "Mei". The people of Jiaozuo still call their parents "Da" and "Mei" for short, and this is still the way they refer to their parents in the Jiaozuo area today among the older people.

The other "Grandpa" and "Grandma" also came from Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao forced the death of Queen Fu and married his daughter to Liu Xie, although Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty had no real power and was treated as a puppet, Cao Jie's husband was still very good, the two loved each other and respected each other. The two loved each other and treated each other with respect. Later, Liu Xie and Cao Jie had sons and daughters, and naturally Cao Cao became their grandfather, and Emperor Xian, who was still emperor, named Cao Cao "Duke of Wei," so the people of the Duke of Shanyang's country (Jiaozuo) followed the example of Cao Jie's sons and daughters and called Cao Cao "Duke of Wei," while referring to him as "Duke of Wei," and also referring to him as "Duke of Wei. The people of Shanyang Gongguo (Jiaozuo) followed the example of Cao Jie's children in addressing Cao Cao as "Duke of Wei", and at the same time referring to their grandmother as "Grandmother of Wei", which has become a popular custom that continues to this day.

The reason why Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, didn't end up like the later fallen monarchs is due to his intelligence and wisdom, especially the failure of Cao Cao's assassination in the early years of the incident in his psyche buried a deep mark, knowing that the Han Dynasty's destiny is gone and not his own strength can be restored, Liu Xie chose to take the initiative to back down, and has always been at the mercy of Cao Cao's beck and call in his controlled time, while at the same time turning a blind eye to many things. Liu Xie had been at Cao Cao's beck and call during his time under Cao Cao's control, while turning a blind eye to many things. Furthermore, when he was coerced by Cao Pi to abdicate, Liu Xie was resolute, and after becoming Duke of Shanyang, he was able to protect himself by focusing on the people's plight and not interfering in political affairs. Last but not least, the Han Dynasty was the first era of unification since the unification of China by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Although modern scholars make a clear distinction between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, it is undeniable that the Liu Dynasty ruled China for 400 years, which was already y rooted in the hearts of many people, and therefore, the later successors could not do anything to kill the deceased Eastern Han kings in order to win people's hearts and minds, and in this way, they were able to serve the world with their virtues. The study of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty can be a good end, there are many reasons, so it is necessary to combine his life and times, so as to analyze the reasons.
