Why did Emperor Xuan Di and Liu Xun go to jail?

In the history of China, many emperors, whether bad or wise, mostly succeeded in inheriting the throne and enjoying the position of the son of heaven. Although some emperors worked hard by themselves, and their lives may seem destined to be smooth sailing, this emperor is different from others because he has been in prison. He is the famous emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, that is, Xuan Di-Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty.

The emperor was particularly pitiful from birth, because when he was a baby, he was in prison and grew up eating the milk of female prisoners. Beginning in 9 1 year BC, Chang' an prison welcomed the youngest prisoner. He is Liu Bingyi, who was born just a few months ago, and later Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, Li Ji, the supervisor of Tingwei, took pity on him, found two female prisoners as his breast milk and took good care of him. But he is so young, why did he become a prisoner, and how could such a young child have the heart to put him in prison?

In fact, this should start with his great-grandfather Han Wudi. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had reached his later years. An old fool listened to the witchcraft theory, so his son was killed in the witchcraft theory. At that time, only his grandson Liu Bingyi was left. At that time, the child was still in infancy, but the ruthless reality sent the baby to prison.

In this way, Liu Bingyi spent four years in prison. In 87 BC, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell ill, he began to believe more in Feng Shui and superstition. Then a Taoist priest told Emperor Wu that Chang 'an Prison was like a son of heaven, and Emperor Wu ordered all prisoners to be executed.

I'm afraid someone will take his throne. When the messenger arrived at the prison, Ting Wei, who had asked two female prisoners to feed their babies, closed the door tightly. He said solemnly, "The great-grandson of the emperor is here.

Even innocent people can't be killed, let alone the emperor's own great-grandson! "So the herald came back to impeach Gaucci. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly realized at this time, so he granted amnesty to the whole world. In this way, 5-year-old Liu was released from prison and sent to her grandmother's house for raising.

At that time, Liu Bingyi was still very young, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised him by people in Ye Ting, and he was also included in the royal family. Liu Bingyi has been recognized as a royal identity.

At this time, Zhang He, who was in charge of Yiting, was very sympathetic to Liu Bingyi, paid for his study, and took good care of him. Gradually, Liu Bingyi grew up, and Zhang He married Xu Pingjun, the daughter of the upstart Xu Guanghan. From then on, the emperor lived by Xu Guanghan and his grandmother's historian. Later, Hanshu said that Liu Bingyi was very talented. After Zhao Han's death, Huo Guang and others made Liu He emperor. But this Liu He has only been in office for 27 days, but he has done a lot of ridiculous things. So I abolished him.

At that time, Liu Bingyi's benefactor, Li Ji, stood up at the right time and recommended Liu Bingyi, who was then 18 years old, to Huo Guang. In this way, Liu Bingyi became the first emperor out of prison in the history of China, and later he was Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. In order to avoid it, he changed his name to Liu Xun.
