Some people say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed Wei Qing and Wei Zifu's family in order to weaken the power of the Wei family, and to eradicate dissidents for the new prince. Actually, it is not because of the following points:
1. At that time, the Wei family’s power was no longer good, Wei Qing was no longer a general, Huo Qubing had also died of illness, Wei Zifu also fell out of favor, and there were no guards in Central Korea. The family has real power.
2. It is even more impossible to eradicate dissidents for the new prince. At that time, Wei Zifu’s son was the prince, and he was the rightful future king. Moreover, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said to Wei Qing: The prince loves the people diligently, and will surely be a good emperor who loves his people in the future. After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had fought for so many years and the country had reached the point where he had to cultivate himself.
3. Besides, the Wei family came from a humble background. It is only by the appreciation of Emperor Wu of the Han that today’s achievements can be achieved. He is grateful to Emperor Wu of the Han, and has never been rebellious, even though Emperor Wu of the Han often suspects that there are Rebellion.
In summary, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really had no reason to kill Wei Qing and Wei Zifu's family!
I think that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed Wei Qing and Wei Zifu entirely because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had rigid thinking, confused, and bewitched by villains in his later years! In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was warlike when he was young and killed too much. He often felt that someone wanted to kill him, and he would not believe in witchcraft in his later years, causing himself to be fooled by villains. Killed his own son, his lover, and of course the general Wei Qing who made great contributions to him!
But God is also not bad to the Wei family. Wei Zifu's son Liu Jin's grandson Liu Xun (also known as Liu Bingji) later became the emperor of the Han, which is also the Emperor of Han Xuan.
