Liu Ying was the second emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. He was the eldest son of Liu Bang and Empress Lu. Liu Ying had experienced many calamities when she was young, including being captured by Xiang Yu's camp during the Chu-Han War and being made Crown Prince together with her mother, Lu Zhi. He inherited the throne at the age of sixteen and implemented a series of policies that were conducive to social stability, economic development, and cultural prosperity. He reduced taxes, promoted Cao Can as the Prime Minister, implemented the policy of resting with the people, developed the economy, built cities, and built Chang 'an. He also advocated the philosophy of Huang Lao and abolished the imprisonment of thoughts, opening the door for the development of ideology and culture. However, Liu Ying was kind and weak, while his mother, Empress Lu, was strong and domineering. This made him seem weak and incompetent in front of his strong parents. Liu Ying died after seven years of rule at the age of twenty-three. He was given the posthumous title of Emperor Xiaohui and buried in Anling. His policies and actions laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Ying was the second emperor of the Han Dynasty and the eldest son of Liu Bang and Lu Zhi, the two emperors of the Han Dynasty. During his reign, he implemented a policy of benevolence and recuperation, reducing taxes and promoting economic prosperity. He also respected the philosophy of Huang Lao, abolished the imprisonment of the Qin Dynasty, and promoted the development of ideology and culture. However, Liu Ying was gentle and weak, and her mother, Empress Lu, held the power. He died young at the age of twenty-three, and his posthumous title was Emperor Xiaohui. There were several theories about the cause of Liu Ying's death. One theory was that he was addicted to wine and sex and ignored the government. His body was hollowed out by wine and sex and he died early. The other theory was that he was worried about Empress Lu's behavior and died of poor health. The reason why Liu Ying did not favor Zhang Yan was probably because he was too young at that time, and Zhang Yan was also very young, so he was opposed to this marriage. In general, Liu Ying's reign laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, but his reign was short and his personal ability was relatively weak.
