After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty abdicated, he was obviously not killed by Cao Pi, why did Liu

In December 220, the Eastern Han Dynasty, which had died at the age of 195, came to an end. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was forced to abdicate and cede the position of emperor to Cao Cao's child, Cao Pi. Generally speaking, the monarch who has lost the country generally does not end well, but Emperor Han Xian was able to die a good death and died of illness in April 234, but Liu Bei held a grand funeral for Emperor Han Xian in 221.

Here's what happened, at the beginning of 221, the news of Cao Pi's usurpation of the throne reached Chengdu, and at the same time there were rumors that Emperor Han Xian had been injured, so Liu Bei held a very grand funeral. In fact, Emperor Han Xian was not killed, a very important reason is that his queen is Cao Cao's daughter.

After Cao Pi became the emperor, the treatment of Emperor Han Xian was quite good. Although Emperor Han Xian no longer has the title of emperor, he can still enjoy the treatment of the Son of Heaven. It should be said that although Emperor Han Xian's life was very unfortunate, his ending was still very good, why did Liu Bei do this?

Some people think that it has something to do with the lack of information exchange at that time, and the news was too slow at that time, but in fact it was not.

After Cao Pi became emperor, in order to block the mouths of the people of the world, he would definitely treat Emperor Han Xian well, and he would also publicize it loudly. So it's just Liu Bei's wishful thinking, starting from his own interests, Liu Bei hopes that Emperor Han Xian will be killed, and this Emperor Han Xian will die, so that he can justifiably ascend to the throne of the Han Dynasty. Although Liu Bei has always been under the banner of begging for thieves, he himself also wants to be the emperor, even if he wins Cao Cao and seizes the world.

Then it is impossible for him to let Emperor Han Xian continue to be the emperor, but to replace him.

Although Liu Bei has always been known for his kindness and understanding, he is a king after all, and he has too much power for too long, and I don't think he will give up his power easily. That's why I did it.

Because Liu Bei didn't know it at that time, he listened to some people's rumors and thought that Emperor Han Xian had been killed by Cao Pi.

Since Cao Pi did not kill Emperor Han Xian, Liu Bei could only make the news of Emperor Han Xian's murder to mourn him, and then proclaim himself emperor, so that he could rightfully sit on the throne.

Because Liu Bei was thoughtful, he mourned for Emperor Han Xian in order to let him have no chance to get up, so that people would know that he was dead.

Because when the news of Cao Pi's usurpation reached Shu, there were also rumors that Emperor Han Xian had been killed, so Liu Bei held a funeral.

Because Liu Bei needed to be called emperor, Liu Bei could only make the news of Emperor Han Xian's murder, mourn him with great fanfare, and then proclaim himself emperor.

In fact, this is because Liu Bei hoped that Emperor Han Xian would be killed, because only when Emperor Han Xian died, he could rightfully inherit the throne of the Han Dynasty.

After all, Liu Bei is a superior person, and he will consider the gains and losses of his own interests. So he will remove all the stumbling blocks on his way to the throne. At this time, Emperor Han Xian was a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and Emperor Han Xian at that time had no ability to manage a country in the future, so Emperor Han Xian's life and death had lost its meaning, so he would do so in order to be better on his throne.

Because he wants to be the emperor himself, and Emperor Han Xian is no longer valuable, he naturally wants to force the other party to abdicate.

That's because only in this way can he ascend to the throne as soon as possible, and at the same time, it is also for the sake of the people of the country.

Because Cao Pi wanted to be emperor, his views were completely different from his father's, and he wanted to establish a new country.

In 220 AD, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi's confidant Hua Xin led a joint letter to a hundred civil and military officials, persuading Emperor Han Xian to cede the throne to Cao Pi, the king of Wei. In order to save his life, Emperor Xian of Han had to hand over the emperor's jade seal to Cao Pi. Cao Pi deliberately excused himself, and only accepted the "promise" after "Sanyang".

On October 29, the first year of Yanjiang (220), Emperor Zhao Bingdan changed the Jianguo Captain, known as Zhao Wei, Kaiyuan Emperor, and Luoyang to "Luoyang". It is worth noting that Cao Pi did not choose to kill Han Xianzhi Liu Xie after usurping the throne. So, here's the problem.

Why didn't Cao Pi kill Han Xianzhi and not be afraid of Han Xianzhi's rebellion?

The first reason why Cao Pi and Cao Cao did not annihilate the Han Xianzhi Relics Association was that they thought that they did not owe Han Xianzhi anything, but Han Xianzhi had to thank him. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was already a puppet emperor, and in the war, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty almost starved to death. In this context, Cao Cao put on the Son of Heaven, made princes, and took advantage of the Han Xian system, but with Cao Cao's help, the Han Xian system could formally continue to enjoy the treatment of the emperor.

More importantly, for Cao Wei's country, it was not Han Xian's Liu Xie who fought it, but Cao Cao who launched a war for many years.

For Cao Pi, Han Xiandi did not rebel, he did not think he would hate himself. At this historical stage of the Three Kingdoms, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu stood together, and the Shu Han set up by Liu Bei under the banner of reviving the Korean family. Therefore, if Cao Pi really killed Liu Xie, the emperor of Han Xian, it would give Liu Bei or Sun Quan an excuse to crusade against him.

That is, it is easy to set up more enemies for yourself. Correspondingly, after Cao Pi became the emperor, he embraced Cao Cao as no emperor, the temple name Taizu, and Fengliuxia as the Duke of Shanyang, and sealed the temple of Han Dingshuo and Fuse. Preferential treatment of Cao Pi and Han constitutional relics helped to weaken the resistance of the pro-Eastern Han forces.

For Cao Pi and Han Xianzheng, there is actually a kinship. After seizing power in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao married three of his daughters to Han Xianzhi, one of whom became empress. After Cao Wei ascended the throne, Emperor Han Xian married his two daughters to Cao Pi.

Therefore, for Cao Pi and the Han Xianzhi Legacy Association, there is a very close relationship due to the existence of the marriage relationship. On this basis, the tacit understanding and balance between the two is that Cao Wei gave Han Xian system Liu Xie preferential treatment, and Liu Xie must of course carry out Shanyang Gong safely.

The reason why Cao Pi did not kill Han Xian and Liu Xie was that the latter had lost the strength of the rebellion. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the heroes were competing for each other, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, not only wanted to rebel against Cao Cao, but also had many supporters. However, after Cao Cao's years of operation, especially the purge of the forces loyal to the Eastern Han Dynasty, even if Han Xianzhi Liu Xie remembered it, he lacked the necessary strength.

Especially after being named the Duke of Shanyang, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was located near the capital of Cao Wei, and his every move was naturally inseparable from Cao Pi's surveillance. If anything really changes, it's hard to be killed. Many people say that Shu Han and Liu Bei were obviously very unlikely at that time.

In addition, from the author's point of view, for Liu Xie, who has been a puppet emperor for many years, the loss of the throne is likely to be a real relief.

Because it was said that it was Zen at that time, he obtained this throne in a legal way, and naturally he could not unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Because of the special emphasis on bloodline in that era, even if Cao Pi seized power, he could not kill Emperor Han Xian, which might cause national turmoil.

Because he felt that this person was not a threat to him at the time, and that he was also of some use, he was not killed.

<> "After Cao Pi usurped the throne, why didn't Emperor Xian of Han go to Liu Bei."

According to historical records, the reason why Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not take the opportunity to take refuge in Liu Bei was mainly due to the following three reasons:

First of all, there was not enough trust and connection between Emperor Han Xian and Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei was a descendant of the Han family, there was no direct contact between Emperor Han Xian and Liu Bei, and Liu Bei did not have enough ability and strength to protect Emperor Han Xian at that time.

Secondly, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also considered his own security issues. If Emperor Han Xian defected to Liu Bei, he might be pursued and suppressed by Cao Cao, which posed a threat to the life and safety of Emperor Han Xian.

Finally, Emperor Xian of Han also took into account his identity and status. Although Emperor Xian of Han was usurped by Cao Pi, he was still the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and if he defected to Liu Bei, he might be considered to have given up his position and power, which was unacceptable in the political environment at the time.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Han Xian is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty recognized by everyone, although he no longer has much strength, but he still occupies this righteousness, as long as he would rather die than give in, it is impossible for Cao Pi I to usurp the Han family, he will become another Sima Zhao at most, unfortunately, Emperor Han Xian was disheartened, no ambition, he did not choose to die in the net, nor did he choose to defect to Liu Bei, but reached a cooperation with Cao Pi, in exchange for his own glory, which is emotional.

To sum up, there are many reasons why Emperor Han Xian did not take the opportunity to join Liu Bei, mainly due to the lack of sufficient trust and contact between each other, and also considering his own security and status.

After Cao Pi became emperor, he did not kill Liu Xie, the emperor of Han Xian, but named Liu Xie as the Duke of Shanyang and continued to be worshiped by the people.

Due to the inconvenience of news dissemination at that time, coupled with Liu Bei's deliberate rumors, it was rumored that Liu Xie was killed by Cao Pi all over the world at that time, and Liu Bei was also proclaimed emperor.

In fact, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty did not die, but he lived very well, until the second year of Qinglong, and his life ended.

So the question is, generally the new emperor succeeds to the throne, and he has to cut down the roots of the old emperor, not only the emperor himself will be killed, but even his people will be killed, but why didn't Cao Pi do it?

Actually, this matter is very easy to explain, if Emperor Han Xian dies, then it will not be good for him at all! Not only that, but he will also be crusaded against by the people of the world.

For Cao Pi, he can be called the emperor entirely by the results of Cao Cao's struggle, and without Cao Cao's struggle, he would not have been able to sit on this throne.

Cao Pi knew this very well, when Cao Cao was alive, he had countless opportunities to kill Emperor Han Xian, but he didn't do it, there must be a reason for him to do so. If he rashly kills Emperor Han Xian like this, he will definitely become the target of everyone in the world, and there is really no need for this.

In Yes, Emperor Han Xian has been a puppet emperor for decades, and those forces loyal to him have almost been wiped out by Cao Cao, if he is already a powerless and powerless waste, what is the point of killing him at this time?

What's more, when Cao Cao was in Cao Cao, Cao Cao dedicated all his three daughters to Emperor Han Xian, and Emperor Han Xian also dedicated his two daughters to Cao Pi.

And the most important thing is that the current shouting limit still has a certain use value. When Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, the world was not unified. There are Sun Quan and Liu Bei in the south, and Gongsun Yuan in the north, once they kill him, these forces will definitely unite to crusade against their own mouth.

In this way, you will become the target of public criticism, and it is really unnecessary.

In short, Cao Pi still let go of Liu Xie's family, and history is just as he thought, Emperor Han Xian's family lived a mediocre life?
