However, shortly after Liu Pengzi surrendered to Liu Xiu, he suffered the most unfortunate thing in his life: blindness due to illness. This is also unique in the history of China emperors.
After Liu Pengzi surrendered, Liu Xiu sympathized with him, gave him many rewards and invited him to be a doctor at Zhao Liang's home. Soon, Liu Penzi became blind due to illness, and Liu Xiu ordered Xingyang official land tax to support Liu Penzi for life. According to biographies of Han Liu Penzi, "The emperor pitied the basin and rewarded it richly, thinking that Wang Zhao was a doctor. I was blind after my illness, so I gave Xingyang the official land, thinking that I was listed as the boss and could eat taxes for life. "
As the appeaser of Liu Penzi, Liu Xiu not only didn't kill him, but was very kind to him, which was a great favor. Then why is Liu Penzi blind?
Recorded the cause of Liu Penzi's blindness, only that he was blind due to illness. How did he become blind due to illness? It is not mentioned in the historical materials. According to the analysis of school easy search, there should be the following three reasons:
First of all, as the king of an open country, Liu Pengzi surrendered to Liu Xiu after his national subjugation. On the surface, Liu Pengzi did join Liu Xiu, but in fact, he still has power in his heart, but he can't talk to anyone. After all, this is a big sin, and once he says it, he will be implicated. Therefore, Liu Penzi had to keep the idea of power in his heart forever. Over time, this depression in his heart could not be released and vented, which made him extremely depressed and sad, and eventually he became sick and blind.
Second, Liu Pengzi proclaimed himself emperor and surrendered to Liu Xiu. What a shameful thing it is. This is not only a humiliation to the country, but also often laughed at by Liu Xiu's subordinates, and he will be secretly angry in his heart. But his anger is invisible, his evil is unspeakable, and his sadness is unspeakable. As a result, Liu Penzi was extremely depressed and his eyes ached with anger. In the long run, it is not impossible to cause blindness.
Third, after Liu Pengzi joined Liu Xiu, he suddenly fell from the sky and became an emperor admired by all, which made him extremely lost and unbalanced. He often drinks secretly to drown his sorrows, but he can't let go. He even pretended to be happy in front of outsiders and smiled at people. Privately, I'm still the person who has a strong sense of loss. It's really painful for Liu Penzi to disguise himself like this. It is understandable that he has been ill and blind for a long time.
Among the unfortunate emperors, Liu Pengzi is the most unfortunate one. If Liu Bangquan knows, he will be angry with him.
