How many emperors have become emperors in history, and how did they end?

The Supreme Emperor’s domineering power comes out when he hears this name! Your Majesty, his father, your son must not listen to me! But in fact, the Supreme Emperor is not limited to fathers and sons, there are also weirder grandchildren who have become the Supreme Emperor. In ancient times, it was a society where imperial power was supreme. The emperor had supreme rights, so many people coveted the throne. Who can give up the addiction of being an emperor? The first emperor in history? Taigong Liu

But there are exceptions to everything, and people just skip the emperor part. For example, Liu Taigong was the first to become the Supreme Emperor. He is a well-known father. Although he has no ability, he gave birth to a good son. His position as the Supreme Emperor depends entirely on Liu Bang. There is a reason why Liu Bang named his father the Supreme Emperor. It is said that after Liu Bang destroyed Chu and proclaimed himself emperor, he always followed the normal etiquette between father and son when he went to court to see Liu Taigong. But the emperor was surrounded by sycophants. Some people said, Grandpa, this is inappropriate for you. Although you are the father of the emperor, the emperor is the king of a country and you are his minister. There is no reason for a king to pay homage to his ministers. Later, Liu Bang came to visit and the grandpa greeted him respectfully at the door with a broom. Liu Bang was shocked. When he knew the reason, he respected the grandpa as the Supreme Emperor (referred to as the Supreme Emperor). This great emperor knows how to humble himself in front of his son, and he can be said to be a person who understands current affairs. In the end, he lived to be seventy-five years old, which was an absolute longevity at the time! The youngest emperor in history? Tuoba Hong

Let’s talk about the youngest emperor Tuoba Hong of the Northern Wei Dynasty. As soon as he came to power, he was used by the cavalry general Yihun and became a tool to exclude dissidents and establish a dictatorial rule. Regarding Yihun's cruelty, all Tuobahong could do was go to the Empress Dowager Feng to cry (it was too embarrassing for the emperor). Queen Mother Feng did not live up to Tuo Bahong's pain, and finally used a trick to get rid of Yi Hun. But at the same time, Queen Mother Feng also got what she wanted. She issued an edict to attend the court and handle all military and state affairs. Tuobahong saw that it was not easy to be the emperor, so he should not be the emperor. When he was eighteen years old, he gave the throne to his son, and he concentrated on worshiping Buddha and became the supreme emperor! Unexpectedly, it was not easy to be the Supreme Emperor. He had only been in the position for five years when he was fed poison by Empress Dowager Feng and died, ending his short twenty-five years of life. The most miserable emperor in history? Sima Zhong

There is also a foolish emperor - Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhong. He has a famous saying that everyone must have heard of. One year there was a famine, and the people had no food to eat. They had to dig grass roots and eat Guanyin soil. Many people starved to death. The news was quickly reported to the palace. Emperor Hui of Jin was greatly puzzled after listening to the minister's report. After thinking hard, he came up with a solution: "People don't have corn to satisfy their hunger, so why not eat minced meat?" ?How can the emperor have real power in this way? In fact, he has always been a puppet emperor during his reign. During the Eight Kings Rebellion, Emperor Hui's uncle, King Sima Lun of Zhao, usurped Emperor Hui's throne and made Emperor Hui the Supreme Emperor. The most helpless emperor in history? The emperors of the Tang Dynasty

As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's achievements were also very high, but this was inseparable from his good son. However, it was precisely because his son was so outstanding that he became the only person who became the emperor from the founding emperor. But after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, his sons killed each other, which chilled his heart. He became the Supreme Emperor, but during his reign, his son Li Shimin governed the world internally with culture and created the rule of Zhenguan. Expanding territory to the outside world laid the foundation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty. What he did as the Supreme Emperor was worthy of his reputation.

Li Dan’s arrival was even easier, and it was entirely due to his son. Li Dan became emperor twice. The first time he voluntarily abdicated to his mother Wu Zetian because he could not compete with her. The second time was when his son Li Longji took it from Webster. Giving way to Li Longji is indeed deserved. So later he became a supreme emperor with peace of mind.

With Li Longji’s example, his son followed suit. After Li Longji fled to Shu, the prince directly announced that he would become the emperor, so he was forced to become the emperor. The most timid emperor in history? The emperors of the Song Dynasty

The first one is Song Huizong Zhao Ji. When this dear friend was destroyed, he passed the throne to his son and became the Supreme Emperor. He was extremely irresponsible. In the eyes of most people, he is not suitable to be an emperor, and he can only concentrate on his calligraphy, paintings, flowers and plants.

The second one is Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty. During his reign, Dai Jin began to flee as soon as he came to attack. Due to the situation and popular support, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other main war generals were appointed to fight against the Jin army. When the Song army was victorious in the war against the Jin Dynasty, Song Gaozong was worried that the generals would not be able to lose their strength due to their overwhelming strength. Yue Fei was executed on unfounded charges, and later Wang Lun, Qin Hui and others of the Zhuhe faction were re-employed. He blindly pursued peace with the Jin Dynasty, and implemented the demands made by the Jin Dynasty thoroughly. After being the emperor for thirty-six years, he passed the throne to Zhao Hao and became the supreme emperor on the grounds that he was tired of hard work and wanted to rest more.

The third place is Zhao Yu, Xiaozong of Song Dynasty. After Xiaozong had been emperor for 27 years, he passed the throne to Zhao Dun (Guangzong of the Song Dynasty) amidst internal and external troubles, and became the Supreme Emperor himself.

These three people named Zhao are worthy of being a family, and they all had similar reasons for resigning.

The last emperor in history, and also the most fake emperor? Qianlong

Emperor Qianlong is the last emperor in Chinese history. He is known as the "Old Man of the Whole". He inherited the inheritance passed down by his grandfather and father in the early stage. It created the so-called prosperous age, but his closed-door policy also led to the backwardness of China's economy, and it completely missed the "industrial era". He, the Supreme Emperor, does not show off. He still holds the power of the court. The reason why he retired was because of a vow he had made before, saying that he would never stay on the throne longer than his grandfather. However, he did not expect that his life span would be so long, so he had to retire. Emperor Qianlong died in Yangxin Hall at the age of eighty-nine.
