At the end of the later Han Dynasty, neither Yin Di nor Liu Chengyou, the leader of the Han Dynasty, had a sense of humor and ability to govern the country, and no one in the DPRK ministers recognized his ability.
The courtiers who accompanied the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition to lay the foundation for the later Han Dynasty were ordered to assist them, but Liu Chengyou listened to rumors and slaughtered all loyal ministers in the DPRK, and finally harmed others and ruined his life and dynasty.
But by mistake, I took over this country.
There were two monarchs in the later Han Dynasty, one was Liu Zhiyuan, who founded the later Han Dynasty, and the other was Liu Chengyou, who perished the later Han Dynasty. Liu Chengyou was not Liu Zhiyuan's favorite successor after Emperor Gaozu, nor did he cultivate Liu Chengyou's ruling ability.
Liu Zhiyuan's original intention was to hope that his eldest son, Liu Chengxun, would inherit the throne. Liu Chengxun is older, more experienced, more mature and more capable. He is very talented, smart and capable.
But instead, Liu Chengxun died of illness, and soon Liu Zhiyuan died one after another, leaving only Liu Chengyou.
Liu Chengyou was young at that time. When Liu Zhiyuan died, he was not crowned king, and his talent was average, but after all, he was the only healthy blood left by Liu Zhiyuan. Therefore, ministers can only support Liu Chengyou who is unsatisfied but easy to control.
Although Liu Chengyou ascended the throne smoothly, he did not get the corresponding power. At that time, all the military power of North Korea was in the hands of Guo Wei, and all the right to speak was monopolized by several prime ministers.
For example, Liu Chengyou's behavior is often restricted by Yang Fu, a more prestigious veteran in the DPRK, and Liu Chengyou can hardly make his own decisions.
For example, if Liu Chengyou wanted to be Li Taihou's younger brother, Ye Li had to secretly ask for yangfu's opinion first, while yangfu rejected Liu Chengyou's idea in order to prevent Li Taihou family forces from increasing their power in the DPRK.
In the ancient feudal society where imperial power was above everything else, the emperor needed to look at the faces of his officials when appointing officials, and was rejected, which showed his weak power.
In addition, including Liu Chengyou conferring concubines, yangfu should step in. From the imperial court to the harem, Liu Chengyou was almost under the control of yangfu, and he was undoubtedly like a puppet.
Listen to my favorite gossip and try to shake the tree.
After Liu Chengyou acceded to the throne, he was assisted by five ministers, namely yangfu, Shi, Su and Guo Wei. Five people are two dynasties elders, is Gao Zhen's teacher. Although they were instructed by the late emperor to assist Liu Chengyou, almost all of them regarded Liu Chengyou as a puppet and didn't really respect him as the emperor.
Take yangfu for example. Although he is loyal and firmly supports Liu, his attitude towards Liu Chengyou shows that he is by no means a person who respects Liu Chengyou.
On the one hand, these ministers made great contributions to the establishment of the post-Han Dynasty. On the one hand, they have experienced two dynasties, and their influence in North Korea is still strong and deep-rooted. When the new emperor ascended the throne, they had no power and no place in Korea. For them, it only nominally safeguarded the "ordinary people" of the later Han Dynasty.
Although Liu Chengyou is young and powerless, it does not mean that he has no ambition or rebellious ideas.
Liu Chengyou was, after all, the emperor, and was oppressed by yangfu and other ministers in the DPRK. He didn't have a single soldier to resist when the foreign enemy attacked, and almost all the military forces in the country were concentrated in the hands of Guo Wei.
Liu Chengyou was determined to regain the military power after realizing that he had no real power and could only be slaughtered.
However, the generals who hold military power are different from the civil servants who fight with each other in North Korea. Civil servants are invincible in North Korea by their connections, and military commanders can be respected as long as they have strong enough strength and combat effectiveness.
Want to bring down the military commanders, is not a simple thing, Guo Wei is not only armed to the teeth, and full of prestige, is the only trusted courtiers of the first emperor, although Liu Chengyou is eager to recover the relieving, but his heart is always full of fear.
At a sensible age, from the emperor's point of view, Liu Chengyou wanted to take back the right to speak in the DPRK and the local military power no matter what, and the military power could not be easily moved, so Liu Chengyou first pointed the finger at the three most important people with prime minister functions in the DPRK.
However, Liu Chengyou has been suppressed since he ascended the throne. Why did he suddenly resist and want to get rid of his puppet status and continue to kill three important officials of the DPRK? This is related to the domestic political power struggle in the post-Han period. The unstable foundation of the post-Han dynasty not only refers to the surrounding forces eyeing up, but also refers to the turmoil in North Korea. Several courtiers fought with each other to gain more political power and formed several factions.
Although Yang School is arrogant and loyal, it is actually loyal to the later Han Dynasty. The school opposite to Yang School, headed by Su who is good at pandering, is favored by Liu Chengyou.
Under the frame of Sue and others, Liu Chengyou killed yangfu, Shi and three prime ministers who did not respect imperial power.
Killed three courtiers in one day, and he was a veteran of the two dynasties and a minister appointed by the first emperor to assist the new emperor. This was an extremely rare coup in all dynasties.
Killing these three prime ministers means that the unstable court in the later Han Dynasty lost three pillars, and Liu Chengyou, who has been controlled and influenced by treacherous court officials, did not realize the subtle changes that took place in the later Han Dynasty, but pointed the finger at Guo Wei.
In the end, I will eat my own fruit.
At that time, Guo Wei worshipped the Tang Dynasty and was in charge of all the armies of the later Han Dynasty. In order to weaken its military strength, Liu Chengyou deliberately did not send Guo Wei to send troops during the rebellion in the three towns, but ordered his trusted minion to suppress the war.
But it was delayed for more than a year and failed to successfully suppress the local uprising. Liu Chengyou had no choice but to ask Guo Wei to send troops. Guo Wei quickly captured three towns and defended the country of the later Han Dynasty.
Later, when Liu Chengyou saw that Guo Wei's power was growing, he conspired with his minion to frame Guo Wei, which directly led to Guo Wei's rebellion to protect himself.
Liu Chengyou first took this opportunity to kill all the Kwoks except Guo Wei, and then confronted Guo Wei. But Guo Wei's influence was obviously stronger, and he soon took control of the whole later Han Dynasty. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chengyou was killed by his minions in the war.
In this way, Liu Chengyou's plan to recapture the relieving completely failed, and he completely ceded the Houhan to others. After several years as the Minister of State Supervision, Guo Wei paid tribute to himself and proclaimed himself emperor, which was called the Hou Zhou in history. The puppet emperor without talent and virtue was finally defeated by his unrealistic ambition, lost his life and lost the world.
There is more than one young emperor who ascended the throne in history, but even if the young emperor is gifted, there must be loyal ministers around him.
When Liu Chengyou took over the post-Han Dynasty, the foundation of the post-Han Dynasty was basically unstable, and the ministers in the DPRK also looked down on his position. Liu Chengyou has neither loyalty nor power, like a puppet. An emperor without talent and prosperity will eventually become a victim of power struggle.
When Liu Chengyou acceded to the throne, his power was almost overhead, and he was used by minions, urging him to rashly attack heavily armed Guo Wei.
Without analyzing the situation, Liu Chengyou laid hands on the courtiers at will and pushed himself into the abyss. He was ambitious, but he could do nothing about it. He forced the power beyond his control into his own power, and the loss outweighed the gain.
