Because they believed that Liu Hong, who was established by Empress Lü, was not a descendant of Emperor Hui of Han and did not conform to the rules of succession to the throne, so they turned their attention to Liu Heng, the King of Dai, who had a good reputation at the time.
Liu Heng, in fact, had always refused when they came to him. After all, who knew what their purpose or conspiracy was? That was the world, and if he sat on the throne, he would be the master of the world. Who doesn't have ambition?
Liu Heng was very cautious. The two sides negotiated many times, and only after Liu Heng had given up the throne five times did he agree to sit on the throne and ascend the throne as emperor.
Five, let the world go.
Everyone was surprised.
He's quite patient.
If it were them, they would probably agree to sit on the throne immediately when those people came to them.
Lü Zhi cast a half-smile at Liu Heng, "You're giving up the throne five times. Do you really not have such ambition? Or are you just afraid that what they say is nothing but a lie?"
Liu Heng said frankly: "It is not easy for Liu Heng to establish his own fiefdom and govern the people there well. If I were to become the emperor, I would have to take the people of the world into consideration. Liu Heng, I am just afraid..."
Everyone has ambition, but the most important thing is whether you can do it well.
Lu Zhi also agreed with what he said. The people of the world fell on her shoulders alone, and this heavy burden was not so easy to carry.
People say she is cruel, but they have never seen the fear behind her.
The world is too important, and if you are not careful, you may lose everything.
Sitting in the highest position, it is enough to do practical things. As for the infamy... let them curse you if they want.
"After Liu Bang's death, Lü Zhi came to power, and then Liu Heng ascended the throne. During this period, the court was in turmoil. Liu Heng's foundation was relatively shallow, so his top priority was to find a way to secure his position.
Therefore, on the premise of ensuring his own personal safety, Liu Heng began to reward and enfeoff the ministers who assisted him in ascending the throne, as well as some princes with the surname Liu who were demoted by Lu Zhi, and some ministers who had made contributions to Liu Bang's founding of the country, in order to consolidate his throne.
In addition to these, Liu Heng's actions in treating certain ministers are also very interesting. After assisting Liu Heng to ascend the throne, Zhou Bo became a little arrogant and had a very bad temper, but Liu Heng still treated him with courtesy.
At the reminder of his ministers, Liu Heng became more majestic, and Zhou Bo also calmed down a bit. At the reminder of his subordinates, he came to his senses and resigned from the post of right prime minister.
A year later, Chen Ping died, and Liu Heng appointed Zhou Bo as prime minister. However, ten months later, he dismissed him from his position on the pretext of allowing the princes to return to their fiefdoms. At that time, many princes lived in Chang'an, and they refused to leave and kept delaying. This put pressure on Chang'an's food and other aspects, right?
Liu Heng let Zhou Bo take the lead and removed him from his position. However, later some people said that Zhou Bo had the intention of rebellion, so Liu Heng sent people to arrest him. Zhou Bo told Liu Heng's uncle Bo Zhao that he had no intention of rebellion. After Liu Heng investigated, he did not find any evidence of rebellion, so he released him.
I have to say, compared to some emperors, Liu Heng did a really good job.”
