It is undoubtedly that Liu Xiu has the blood of the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty flowing in his veins, from Liu Bang, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, to him from the 9th generation, it has been nearly 200 years.

However, a lot has happened in the past 200 years, so let's cut it short.

To put it simply, it was Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty, who gave birth to Emperor Wen Liu Heng, and Liu Heng gave birth to Emperor Jing Liu Qi (that is, the two men who created the historical name "The Governance of Wenjing".

)。 Liu Qi gave birth to Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, Liu Mai, the Marquis of the Chungling Festival, Liu Mai gave birth to Yulin Taishou Liu Wai, and Liu Wai gave birth to Liu Hui, the governor of Julu County, Liu Hui

gave birth to Liu Qin, the magistrate of Nanton County, and Liu Qin is Liu Xiu's father.

What cannot but be said here is that in the process of inheriting this bloodline, there is a little glitch, and this glitch affects people's future very much.

The problem lies with Emperor Jing Liu Qi.

Once, Emperor Jing was drunk and arranged for someone to notify Cheng Ji in the palace to accompany him.

Coincidentally, Cheng Ji was inconvenient, but she didn't want to give up this opportunity to inherit the emperor's grace.

You must know that the concubines in the palace are like clouds, and the emperor's rain and dew are scarce resources.

What to do? What a hurry!

After some nervous pondering, Cheng Ji carefully dressed up his maid Tang Er and sent it to Emperor Jing in line with the idea that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders

of the dormitory.

It is very likely that Cheng Ji knows Emperor Jing's alcohol volume, wine quality and wine style very well, otherwise she would not dare to fool Emperor Jing in this matter.

Emperor Jing may have been very drunk, and after sobering up, he found that the fortunate person was not Cheng Ji, but the maid beside her.

What to do? Mistaken!

The emperor is just a person, he can't make mistakes, and even if he is wrong, he can't admit it. If you make a mistake, you will be wrong, anyway, as long as the person concerned doesn't say it,

No one else believed it. What's more, the party involved in this matter is the emperor, and ordinary people dare not talk nonsense.

After conceiving in October, Tang Er gave birth to a son.

In any case, this is also a dragon species, and Emperor Jing is not bad at it, so he named him "Fa".

However, Emperor Jing has neither a shortage of women nor children, and does not pay much attention to their mother and son.

In 6 BC, that is, in 155 BC, Emperor Jing made Liu Fa the king of Changsha in accordance with the working procedures of the royal family.

At that time, Changsha was a barren land, one was partial, far away from the capital, and once again, not only to climb the mountain, but also to cross the river; Second, it is poor and undeveloped

, people are barren and barren; The third is small, the smallest among the fiefs of Emperor Jing's 13 sons.

The years are like flowing water, and Liu Fa grew up in the neglect and neglect of his father and brothers.

One day in 142 BC, Emperor Jing celebrated his birthday, and his sons all came from their feudal kingdoms to congratulate him.

Emperor Jing watched this group of his sons grow up and was very happy, and let the children take turns to perform singing and dancing programs to cheer up.

On this occasion, the princes performed very hard, not only to please their father, but also to take the opportunity to express themselves.

When it was Liu Fa's turn, he just raised his sleeves and raised his hand, danced a few times in a very restrained manner, and then gave up.

The brothers laughed at him for being clumsy.

Emperor Jing also felt strange, so he asked Liu Fa why he was like this, why didn't he officially make a few moves, and how many people would have fun?

Liu Fa was very smart and seized the opportunity to express the grievances in his heart. It's a rare opportunity, and it's not easy to see my dad by myself.

He said:

"The feudal territory of the retainers is small, and they can't turn around."

(The subject country is small and narrow, not enough to maneuver)

Emperor Jing listened to the kid's words and felt a little reasonable.

Oh, yes! Over the years, I have been very busy, and I really don't care enough about Liu Fa and her son. Busy!

Suddenly, he felt a little sorry for the two of them. Yes, it's also my Liu Qi's dragon species, why is this the difference in the treatment of the children

How big is it?!

As a result, Emperor Jing immediately ordered that the three counties of Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang be assigned to the territory of Changsha.

In this way, not only the current Hunan, but also parts of today's Hubei, Guangxi, and Guangdong were also assigned to Changsha.

Changsha became the largest feudal state in terms of land area at that time.

However, at that time, Changsha was mostly barren and barren land that had not been developed, and its strength and influence still could not be compared with the feudal state of the Central Plains. toward

What is the big event or what scene is there in the royal family, Liu Fa can't speak, and he can't be seen everywhere.

Although Liu Fa is unable to participate in the government politics, he is still very successful in continuing the incense.

He gave birth to 15 sons, more than his father Emperor Jing by 2. He gave one of them the succession to the throne, and the other 14 were made marquises.

When the title passed to Liu Xiu's father Liu Qin, they were two brothers, and the younger brother was called Liu Liang.

When Liu Qin was the magistrate of Nantun County, Liu Liang became the magistrate of Xiao County (now the north of Xiao County, Anhui Province).

Today, two brothers in the family are county magistrates, and they are also successful people, but at that time, as a royal descendant, it was just like that.

Just now, we carefully checked Liu Xiu's genealogy and found that it is unmistakable that Liu Xiu has the royal blood of the Western Han Dynasty, but his direct ancestor Tian

The shortcomings are also obvious.

For example, Liu Fa's birth is very funny, and relatives and friends may be embarrassed to mention it, which makes his descendants in the royal family power and

There is a bit of a lack of confidence in the distribution of wealth.

Everyone has also seen that in this kind of bloodline inheritance, Liu Xiu's direct ancestors have lower and lower titles and smaller official positions, and it seems that one generation is not as good as the next.

But then again, Liu Xiu's family still belongs to the upper class, and it is still a royal family.

According to our analysis, this kind of royal status cannot be bought with money, robbed by fighting, or stolen by tricks, and is brought from the mother's womb, compared with ordinary people

, with at least 4 benefits:

One is economic. Generations of princes and high-ranking officials, children and grandchildren can inherit some expensive property, and under normal circumstances, if it is not a crime, it will be copied

Go, it's not that a few prodigals squandered it, it's not that it was accidentally stolen and robbed, at least you can not worry about food and clothing, and you can take out the money to let your children go to school;

Second, there are many opportunities to enter the official career as an official. According to the system of electing officials in the Han Dynasty, there are ways to recruit, probe, examine, appoint, and recruit, but there are none

Either way, the bloodline, prestige, financial resources, and education of a royal descendant like Liu Xiu gave them more opportunities than ordinary people

and more convenient conditions, Liu Xiu's ancestors did not leave the officialdom until his father and uncle for this reason;

Third, it has a strong appeal, which is convenient for establishing a wide range of contacts. They have noble bloodlines and a large population, and they can be through in-laws, mentors, and friends

Relationships, etc., and those big families, powerful and rich gentry, and all kinds of fierce and capable people to establish inextricable connections, this is a huge intangible asset

Give birth;

Fourth, there is a situation that cannot be put on the table, that is, bloodlines, especially noble bloodlines, can also be used to fool people.

Today, we often see media reports that who claims to be the descendants of someone, and what high-ranking officials their parents are doing, can not only cheat and cheat

, and can also cheat money and sex, because there are always people who believe that people who are close to noble blood are good for themselves. In Liu Xiu's era, the media was underdeveloped, and it was difficult to check the information

, it's easier to fool people with this. What's more, Liu Xiu's royal status is real.

Speaking of this, you may already be in a hurry, don't worry, the reason why I am verbose for a long time and take you to see Liu Xiu's family tree, except that, as mentioned at the beginning, it is convenient to walk into the master

Gong's inner world, in that era, it was also fashionable to check the family background and discuss the bloodline, and more importantly, Liu Xiu later used this method to live!

Okay, let's introduce Liu Xiu's and his siblings right away.
