The representative figure of the moon star

Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was the only emperor of the Lunar calendar in history. Compared with other founding emperors, Liu Xiu is either pioneering or leading, which is very special.

Later people called him "ruling the world with judo." It is fate that he will become an emperor, not his active pursuit.

Liu Xiu is Liu Bang's ninth grandson, and his father is Nanyang County Magistrate. When I was young, I liked reading and farming crops, which was completely different from my brother Ada's bold personality and many trips. He is often laughed at by my brother.

He was very proud to see Jin Wu (the official in charge of public security in Kyoto) dressed well and having many attendants. Seeing that Yin Lihua was very beautiful, he sighed and said, "The official should be the gold master, and the wife should be Yin Lihua.

These two sentences fully show the true face of this rich son. They just want to be a big official and marry a beautiful woman. They are completely ambitious.

At that time, "prophecy" prevailed in society. It was predicted that "Liu Xiu is the son of heaven", so Liu Xin, a Buddhist of Wang Mang, was renamed Liu Xiu.

When this sentence spread to Nanyang, Liu Xiu said half jokingly in a chat with a friend, "Maybe it's me!"

Wang Mang made an insurrection and established a new dynasty. Ada opposed Wang Mang and led Liu Xiu into the camp of the former emperor Liu Xuan. The battle of Kunyang defeated the mang army with less, but it caused Liu Xuan's jealousy, and Ada was killed by Liu Xuan.

At this time, Liu Xiu showed the forbearance of the lunar calendar. After hearing his brother's terrible news, he knew he was in danger. If he is slightly dissatisfied, he will be killed Then hurry back to Wancheng and confess to Liu Xuan.

He doesn't associate with Ada's old family, nor does he mourn for his brother. Everyone only talks about their own faults and keeps silent about the advantages of Kunyang. Finally, Liu Xuan's doubts and misgivings were dispelled, and he was sent to Hebei.

Liu Xuan wanted to weaken Liu Xiu's power and influence, but he didn't expect to let the tiger return to the mountain and let Liu Xiu finally become emperor. Because the lunar personality is not easy to convince people by force, it can only convince people by virtue, so Liu Xiu pays special attention to tolerance and moral politics and buys people's hearts. We can see his forbearance and softness from several things:

After defeating Wang Lang, he collected a large number of documents and letters from Wang Lang, most of which were to persuade Wang Lang to destroy Liu Xiu as soon as possible.

For these documents, Liu Xiulian didn't even look at them, which made people burn them all in public, indicating that he was generous and would never pursue inquiries, so his subordinates followed them wholeheartedly.

Liu Xiu smashed the bronze horse army. In the process of reorganization, Liu Xiu ordered them to return to their respective camps to sort out their teams, so as to dispel the doubts of the fallen soldiers. Then he went to the camp alone without a bodyguard to show his trust in the fallen soldiers. This move really received a calming effect, and people talked happily: "Why doesn't Liu Can work for him?"

His actions spread all over the country. Everyone called Liu Xiu "Emperor of the Bronze Horse" and began to think that he was the only thrill.

Most of the founding emperors of China killed heroes. Only the founding fathers of the Eastern Han Dynasty died well, which is unique in history. This of course has a lot to do with Liu Xiu's moon character.

After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he didn't like to talk about the army. After he retired from North Korea, he often studied Confucian classics and discussed justice with officials until late at night. The prince was worried about his health, but he said, "I'm not tired."

China's fortune-telling skills and the idea of harmony between man and nature flourished in the Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu took the lead in advocating and vigorously promoting the science of "divination".

"prophecy" is "prophecy"; "Wei" refers to those books that rely on ancient classics and specialize in yin and yang and the five elements, good fortune and bad fortune. The study of divination is a popular trend of thought in society since the end of the Western Han Dynasty, but it is also directly related to the needs of rulers.

Liu Xiu regarded divination as an important ruling tool, and even cited it when issuing imperial edicts and managing the people.

In his later years, he announced that "divination is in the world", which made divination a legal classic and forced people to accept it.

It is too feminine to try to use the mixture of Confucianism and divination as an ideological weapon to strengthen the rule of people's thoughts.

At that time, Huan Tan, the minister, saw Liu Xiu's doubts and went up to remonstrate and said, "You can denounce the alchemist, which shows that you know a lot; Now, on the contrary, I believe that what is recorded in the prophecy is wrong.

Liu Xiu was very angry when he called Huan Tan "unreasonable". Huan Tan almost lost his life.

While Liu Xiu was reading Huan Tan's "New Theory", although he had the idea of opposing the induction between heaven and man, he praised goodness, so he didn't believe it himself.

For two thousand years, the obscurantism of China's "Shintoism" has used providence and ghosts and gods to educate the people. Although it was for the needs of the monarch, it had a great influence on later generations.

When describing this story, I thought of giving myself a chart of my childhood life. The ancient book says: "Taiyin Wenchang must be a ninth-rate warlock." When I saw Liu Xiu, the Lunar Moon who actively advocated numerology, I couldn't help sighing about human nature!
