Liu Yun, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, lived a very short life. He is not as lucky as his father and grandfather. He was 3 1 year old, and only succeeded to the throne for 14 years. Although Liu Ao's personality is more like that of Emperor Han Ming among his sons, it is actually different. Emperor Han Ming was harsh, strict with himself and tough, which was suitable for centralized monarchy. However, the personality of Emperor Zhang Han was weaker than that of Emperor Han Ming. Therefore, in his whole career as emperor, he still continued his ancestral training to govern state affairs, but because of his weak personality, he could not fully implement the entire political layout, which made him unable to withdraw from the Western Regions, while the entire Han Dynasty withdrew all the forces buried in the early stage. It is also a great regret of the Han Dynasty.
But we can't deny Liu Da's overall achievements just because he has no personality, which is extremely unfair to him. We also have to admit that, at least under his rule, the country has not suffered serious civil strife, and it is still operating in an orderly way, which is also a great achievement of Liu Da.
Is it the Emperor Zhang Mingjun?
Emperor Zhang's life is extremely short, only 3 1 year. For modern people, this can be said to be a teenager, even if time goes back, it is also a prime of life. As the saying goes, when a person reaches the age of 30, he has reached the peak of his career, which has nothing to do with his identity. Then, it is a pity that the life of Emperor Zhang Han may come to an abrupt end when he should be at the peak of his career.
So, in the thirty-one years of Zhang Han's life and fourteen years of his reign, what he did can be regarded as a generation of monarchs? Where can we see all this?
First, let's look at the character of Zhang Han Emperor Liu Ao. He is the fifth son of Emperor Han Ming. He was separated from his biological mother at birth and raised by Ma Huanghou himself. Ma Huanghou is a virtuous queen. Because he has no children, he has no right to enforce the law impartially, so the harem in Ma Huanghou is always peaceful and calm. Under the guidance of such a mother, the character of Emperor Zhang Han should be open-minded, and he was taken care of since he was a child.
Secondly, let's look at the achievements of Emperor Zhang Han in his life. He inherited the political plan of his grandfather Liu Xiu, attached great importance to the people, and made a lot of speeches. But because of his weak personality and soft ears, he is easily pushed around. He chose to give up the big idea of going to the western regions, and the harem was in constant turmoil, and relatives began to interfere in the political affairs.
Finally, Zhang Han has another identity, and that is a calligrapher. So he was distracted and slack in governing the country.
Generally speaking, Zhang Han is not a monarch, but a qualified monarch.
Empress Zhang of Han Dynasty
Zhang Yisheng has countless concubines, but there is only one queen worthy of the name, that is. However, you may ask, why does Liu Ao have three queens, namely Dou Shi, Liang Shi and Songshi? Who made them saints or who made them saints?
Before Wei Liu became emperor, Emperor Wu met Dou Shi, Liang Shi and Songshi. Among them, Dou Shi was favored by Emperor Zhang Han because of her beautiful appearance and many tricks, and decided to become a crown princess. However, from the point of view of Emperor Zhang's mother, she is interested because she is in-laws and I am gentle and virtuous.
As a result, when he acceded to the throne, Dou's status was naturally promoted from crown princess to queen, while Liang and Song were nobles. Song lived up to expectations, and soon the eldest son of the emperor was made a prince, and Liang's status also improved with the birth of Zhao. Dou Shi is the only one. Although his glory is infinite, there is nothing he can do, which makes Dou Shi impatient.
After Ma Shi died, Dou Shi took action. On the one hand, she adopted Zhao; On the other hand, she used her position as queen to deliberately frame the rebellion in the Song Dynasty and successfully got involved in the rebellion in Chu Jun. Without action, Song's life was ruined, and his son was demoted to crown prince and left the court. After Dou was adopted, she was worried that he would not mind not kissing her in the future if he knew that he was not his real mother. So she thought of another deadly trick, killing Liang Guiren and Liang's family.
After Liu Zhao succeeded to the throne, Dou Shi was appointed as the Empress Dowager. After his death, he was posthumously named the queen of Emperor Zhang.
