Quick Transmigration: Legendary Figures of the Ages

Chapter 189 After becoming Liu Sheng, Deng Suimu and I became filial sons ()

(One)

Prosper and destroy the country, and continue to die.

——Deng Sui.

"Cough cough."

"Cough cough."

Sunge only felt that his chest was constricted and he couldn't stop coughing, feeling like he was about to cough up his lungs.

Don't dress like a consumptive ghost.

Sunge patted his chest lightly, trying to make himself feel better.

This small hand, like a chicken's paw, is a bit big and white, but it is thin, as if there is a layer of skin on the bone.

The wrists and arms are also thin and small.

So, she probably dressed like a child.

Sunge took a long breath, trying to suppress his cough.

After the breath gradually stabilized, I began to slowly accept the plot.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eldest son of Emperor Hanhe, Liu Sheng.

Just looking at such an identity, it seems that he was born to reach the pinnacle of life.

After all, in all dynasties, priority was given to establishing a descendant and an elder.

However, Liu Sheng is just unlucky.

Although he is the eldest son of Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, he has been suffering from chronic diseases since he was a child.

In addition, the struggle for power and profit in the harem of the Eastern Han Dynasty was difficult to curb, and the emperors were often short-lived.

As a result, Emperor Han He died of more than a dozen princes in a row, and when he died, there were only two sons under his knees.

Eight-year-old Liu Sheng.

Liu Long, who just passed a hundred days.

According to common sense, the eight-year-old Liu Sheng should be the successor no matter what.

But, unexpectedly.

The successor of Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Deng waved her hand, expressly stating that the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Sheng, had a chronic illness and was not suitable to be emperor.

Immediately afterwards, he chose to support and raise Liu Long, who had just turned days, ascended the throne.

Liu Long, also known as Emperor Shang of the Han Dynasty recorded in the history books.

The word "Shang" is not an auspicious word at first glance.

After the little prince who was waiting to be fed came to the throne, the Empress Dowager Deng came to the court to rule.

The weakness at this time may be an accident, or of course it may be man-made. Liu Long died just half a year after he ascended the throne, and he was posthumously named Emperor Xiaoshang.

When they die, they are not yet one year old.

It can be said that the starting line is the finish line.

Sunge didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.

Perhaps among the people, there is still the possibility of growing up.

Liu Long died young, no matter how many times he counted, it would be the turn of Liu Sheng who was named Pingyuan King.

Unfortunately, once again things backfired.

For some reason, Empress Dowager Deng would rather choose Liu Hu, the son of Qinghe Xiaowang Liu Qing, the grandson of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, as the new emperor than Liu Sheng.

Liu Hu, also known as Emperor Han'an in history, was only 13 years old when he succeeded to the throne, and he was still far away from being in power.

Therefore, even if the throne changes, the Queen Mother Deng is still in power.

As for Liu Sheng, although he was named King of Pingyuan, Empress Dowager Deng did not let him return to the feudal country, but stayed in Luoyang, the capital city.

Eight years after Liu Sheng became king, he died and was buried in the capital.

At this time, Liu Sheng was only 16 years old, and he should have been the youngest and most energetic.

Liu Sheng had no heirs, so Empress Dowager Deng Sui appointed Liu De, the son of King Le'an Liu Chong, as King of Pingyuan, heir to Liu Sheng.

Six years after Liu Deli became king of Pingyuan, he also died without a son.

Empress Dowager Deng made Liu Yi, the son of Liu Kai, the king of Hejian, the prince of Pingyuan.

As for Empress Dowager Deng, she was ruled by the court for sixteen years.

After understanding the basic situation, Sunge couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

I'm afraid the plain throne is cursed, not only short-lived, but also extinct.

No, it should be that the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were also short-lived, and the average life expectancy was only 26 years old.

Sun Ge had reason to doubt whether Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, had used up all his Qi ahead of time.

Because the emperor died early, the prince was young, and the empress lived a long life, it was not uncommon for the empress dowager of the Eastern Han Dynasty to claim power over her relatives, and it can be said that it was the most frequent in the entire feudal dynasty.

Among the thirteen emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, four died without heirs, and eleven succeeded to the throne under the age of 20.

Of the thirteen emperors, the power of six emperors is in the hands of the queen mother and relatives.

Emperor Hanhe succeeded to the throne, and Empress Dowager Dou came to court.

Emperor Han Shang died young, Emperor Han An succeeded to the throne, and Empress Dowager Deng took power.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty."Empress Ji" records: "Tokyo's imperial lineage has been cut off repeatedly, and the power belongs to the heroine. There are four emperors standing outside, and six queens who are facing the court."

……

……

Looking at this ratio, one can know the situation of the imperial power in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, not all the empress dowagers who are in charge of the court are roosters who lead the morning and seek personal gain.

On the contrary, if we only talk about the results of governing the country, women are not weaker than men when they are in power.

And the one who is closely related to Liu Sheng's fate is the Empress Dowager Deng Sui among the six empress dowagers in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When it comes to Deng Sui, most of them may feel unfamiliar, or even hear it for the first time.

The degree of familiarity in later generations is far less than that of Empress Lu of the Western Han Dynasty, Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty, and Xiaozhuang of the Qing Dynasty.

But, in fact, Deng Sui is one of the most outstanding female politicians in Chinese history, and is hailed as the "crown of queens" by the historians.

Deng Sui was born in a famous family who had been officials for generations. His grandfather was Gaomihou Dengyu.

Later, the Eastern Han Dynasty was established.Deng Yu was the founding official of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the head of the 28 Yuntai generals.

His father is Deng Xun, the captain of Qiang guard in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Her mother is the niece of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiuyuan and Yin Lihua, who are famous as empresses.

It can be said that such a strong family background and profound family education gave Deng Sui the opportunity to win the world under the influence of his ears and eyes.

The achievements of Empress Dowager Deng were also engraved in stone by Le Jin, who was praised as "prospering and destroying the country, inheriting the peerless world, recording heroes, and restoring the clan. Hongde overflows and fills the universe. The majestic deeds can be heard but cannot be touched; Recite but not name."

Whether it was Cai Lun's improvement of papermaking, or the advent of Zhang Heng's armillary sphere and seismograph, they were all during Deng Sui's administration.

And Deng Sui's achievements are far more than that.

After he came to power, the Eastern Han Dynasty was in a difficult situation of floods and droughts for ten years, with frequent natural disasters and panic.

In the first year of Yanping, Deng Sui's first year in power, a meteorite hit, causing floods for several years in a row.

Then, there are earthquakes, floods, blizzards, and hail.Locust plague.

After more than ten years of natural disasters, Deng Sui resisted forcefully and protected the great empire of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Natural disasters and turmoil in the Central Plains will cause unrest in the frontiers.

The Southern Huns, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and foreign barbarians tried to take advantage of the fire to loot.

Deng Sui did not choose to make peace, but sent a large army to conquer the entire territory of the Southern Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan.

Such Deng Sui can no longer be summed up in a simple sentence.

History books have mixed praises and criticisms for her. Some people accused her of being out of order, and some people accused her of being a womanizer and refusing to return to power, but no one accused her of her political talent.

Deng Sui is worthy of the title of a strange woman.

Compared with Deng Sui's magnificent life, the Liu Sheng she wore paled a lot.

Perhaps, Liu Sheng also resented Deng Sui.

He resented that Deng Sui deprived him of the opportunity to stabilize the throne, made him depressed and frustrated all his life, and died young.

Perhaps, Liu Sheng also had reverie in his heart.

If the clan can sit on the throne, can he also?

Could it be that he is not as good as a child of a hundred days, or a son of a clan, as an emperor?
　A new story begins.
