The man who served as emperor for 27 days but was scolded by later generations for two thousand years was Liu He, the deposed emperor of the Han Dynasty. In 2016, his tomb was discovered, and many funerary objects were unearthed, including the Analects of Confucius and the earliest The portraits of Confucius and other ancient books are very different from the historical records of the deposed emperor of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Liu He should have been wronged. The real Liu He was probably not as dissolute as what was said in history books.
Liu He is the grandson of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty passed away, he had no heirs, so Liu He was elected as the prince. During the period of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, minister Huo Guang was in dictatorship, and Liu He's succession was basically arranged by Huo Guang. Huo Guang actually wanted to treat Liu He as a puppet emperor, including the later Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. In the early days of his succession, Huo Guang controlled the government. Liu He sang and sang every night during the funeral of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and intensified after the burial of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang saw that Liu He was too ridiculous and advocated deposing his throne and establishing Liu Xun as emperor, who was later Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. This Huo Guang made whoever he wanted to be the emperor, which shows how powerful he was at that time. However, Huo Guang did not end well for being so arrogant. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was not as stupid as Liu He. On the contrary, he was a very smart man. He seized the opportunity to eradicate the Huo clan in one fell swoop and truly ruled the Han Dynasty.
Judging from the cultural relics unearthed from Liu He's tomb, he was probably not as mediocre as written in history books. According to my guess, Liu He didn't want to be manipulated by Huo Guang. He wanted to be in power, so he was deposed by Huo Guang. Huo Guang needed a reason to depose the emperor, so he asked the historian to write Liu He as a dissolute and dissolute emperor, so that Huo Guang would not be criticized by future generations for his crimes. And Liu He became crazy and stupid after he was deposed. It was probably because he was pretending, otherwise Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty would be afraid of his existence and kill him at any time. It seems that Liu He, the deposed emperor of Han Dynasty, was actually a very smart man, but it was a pity that he was born at the wrong time.
