The unhappiness of the marriage made the weak Liu Ying and her mother Lu Hou even deeper.

Empress Lu didn't understand why his son borrowed wine all day long to drown his sorrows, "It's not because you're too timid and too soft-hearted because you want you to experience experience!" Let you understand that you have to be ruthless! Your parents have arranged it for you all this day, what are you not satisfied with? ”

Liu Ying never got close to Zhang Yan, who was her niece and queen, and Empress Lu saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She tried her best to bring the two together, but without success. Zhang Yan is only in her early tens, and she is a normal man who would not have any thoughts about such a young child. Empress Lu was so anxious, not that she was worried that her son and daughter-in-law would live in disharmony, she hoped that Zhang Yan would give birth to a grandson with pure blood as soon as possible.

Liu Ying never stayed overnight in the queen's palace, anyway, there were many women in the harem, so he indulged himself to his heart's content. Only in these times can he forget the pain for a while.

Liu Ying's non-violent non-cooperation made Empress Lu quite disappointed. There were other women in the harem who were pregnant, and Empress Lu started to think crookedly. When this poor woman gave birth to a son, Empress Lu sent someone to kill her, raised the child to the middle palace, lied that it was the queen Zhang Yan who gave birth to the prince, and ordered the ministers to congratulate and canonize the child as the crown prince.

This is another hard-working child. The child's name was Liu Gong, and he later became the third emperor of the Han Dynasty. Later, he was deposed and died at the hands of his grandmother, Empress Lu.

In such a depressing environment, Emperor Liu Ying still did a few good things. The first is a tax cut. After Liu Ying ascended the throne, he pursued the policy of resting with the people, exempted and exempted the land rent, and implemented 15 taxes and one tax. The state levies one-fifteenth of the land yield as a field tax, and the rest is left to the people themselves. This is a moral policy, and the people have really benefited from it.

In 191 BC, according to the calculation of the imaginary age, Liu Ying was twenty years old. In ancient times, when a man reached the age of twenty, he had to perform a crown salute, marking the official coming of age. In March of this year, Jiazi Day, the imperial court held a crown ceremony for Emperor Liu Ying and granted amnesty to the world.

Laws and regulations that are unfavorable to the common people have been amended, especially the abolition of the 'law of coercion'. The 'Book Suppression Law' was a decree issued by Qin Shi Huang when he burned books and pit Confucianism, and the people were only allowed to keep books on medicine, divination, tree planting, etc., and those who collected prohibited books were punished with extermination.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the "law of coercion" was retained. Now Liu Ying has announced the repeal of this law, which has promoted the spread of culture and allowed the normal development of various ideas and doctrines that have been suppressed for a long time.

When Liu Bang was alive, only Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace were built, and Chang'an City did not even have a city wall. Liu Ying succeeded to the throne and began to build Chang'an City, which took four years and requisitioned 290,000 migrant workers. The renovated Chang'an was the most magnificent city in the world at the time, rivaled only by the city of Rome.

Liu Ying did something for the benefit of the country and the people within the scope of her ability. It's just that his weak personality dooms him to never get rid of his mother's shadow.
