Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan Di of Han Dynasty, spent his childhood in prison. Why did he go to prison at an early age?

Xuan Di spent his childhood in prison, mainly because his grandfather Herry Liu was killed under the influence of witchcraft. After the witch disaster, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious. He beheaded all Herry Liu's family. At that time, Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was still in infancy, so he escaped.

Although Xuan Di was a very successful emperor, his life experience was very bad. His grandfather, Herry Liu, was the prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was highly valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, due to the paranoia of Emperor Wu in his later years, Jiang Chong took advantage of this to have a witchcraft disaster in the imperial city. After Emperor Wu returned to Beijing, Liu was killed. Instead of investigating the truth at the first time, he killed Liu's family.

Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was only a few months old at that time, so everything was not beheaded, but just thrown into prison. The jailer there saw that Xuan Di was pitiful, so he found a wet nurse for him, and Emperor Xuan Di was able to survive. Later, a fortune teller told Emperor Wu that there was an emperor in his cell in Beijing. When Liang Wudi learned about it, he was afraid that someone would lead the troops to revolt in the future, so he let people kill all the people in his cell. At this time, it was the jailer who stepped forward and closed the prison door to prevent court officials from entering.

The jailer told them that there was a grandson of the first prince in the old house, and the grievances of the first prince had been washed away. Why not let his grandson go? When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew about this, he didn't ask officials to kill people in prison, but took Xuan Di to the court to raise him. After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Xuan Di's imperial clan status was restored. However, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not improve the treatment of Xuan Di, after his death, Xuan Di became a street refugee. If Emperor Hanzhao had not died early, Emperor Xuandi might have lived among the people all his life.
