Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I believe that many people are familiar with this name. After all, he is positively evaluated in the middle school history textbooks and other official history books. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was one of the most outstanding monarchs in the Chinese feudal dynasty. He established the prosperity of the Han dynasty and became the first peak of the development of the Chinese feudal dynasty. He also opened up a vast territory and laid the basic scope of the Han dynasty. He was also the first emperor to achieve "Those who violated China will be punishable even if they are far away." Strong4strong has become one of the spiritual symbols of our Han nation and even the Chinese nation today.
I have to say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did a lot of earth-shattering things. Beiding Xiongnu , Nanping Baiyue, West Tongxi, and east Korea. Everything alone can make it one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history. However, the power struggle behind it, the intrigue in the court, imperial power and relative power, the contradiction between imperial power and relatives, and even his own son, were all played by him between applause.
He is not like Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to kill heroes blatantly, but he is more secretive and ruthless than Liu Zhu.
It can be said that in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, except for Dongfang Shuo and Wei Qing, no one of his favorites died well. Almost everyone is the same process: talents are appreciated-are reused-are used to play value-are killed. Even the prince and queen are no exception.
Having said that, let's talk in detail about the blood and tears behind Emperor Wu of Han's achievement of a generation of emperors.
Jinwu Cangjiao-the young Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty started his own deception
This matter has to be talked about from the Hanwen Emperor period.Queen Dou's daughter, Princess Guantao, Princess Liu, gave birth to two boys and one girl, and this daughter is the future Queen Chen (history did not leave her name) only calling her Ah Jiao. The eldest princess had a very high temper and wanted to marry her daughter to the prince Liu Rong at the time, but she did not agree with her.
At that time, most of the beauties favored in the harem were because of the princess, and the prince’s mother Li Ji was not one of them, so she transferred her hatred to the princess. Therefore, when the eldest princess offered to have children, Li Ji rejected her. The rejected eldest princess was indignant, and then made all kinds of slanders to Emperor Han Jing (the emperor at the time), and finally abolished Liu Rong as the prince prince, and replaced the Jiaodong king Liu Che as the prince.
All these changes are also taking advantage of the princess's heart. She proposed a marriage contract to Liu Che 's mother, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang agreed. One day, the eldest princess asked Liu Che if he wanted to beg a wife when he grew up. Liu Che said yes. The eldest princess pointed to more than one hundred court ladies and maids for Liu Che to choose, and Mrs. Wang secretly hinted to Liu Che that the clever Liu Che said that he would not want them. . The eldest princess turned to her daughter and asked, "How about Gillian?" Mrs. Wang gently nodded, Liu Che glanced at Gillian, and said with a smile: "Okay! If it's Gillian , Let her live as a golden house.” The eldest princess was very happy, and then begged Jingdi bitterly, which eventually led to this marriage.
However, in the first year of Jianyuan (140 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, came to the throne, and Gillian, like the eldest princess, wished to become a queen as a princess. Because Liu Che was the emperor of Wu, the eldest princess gave her strength, so Empress Chen was also arrogant and arrogant, and the eldest princess was self-reliant and meritorious, demanding endless money from the emperor. Even if there is gratitude in his heart, he will be bored with endless requests, so Emperor Wu has long been disgusted with the princess, and Gillian, Aiwu and Wu, for the same reason, he is also unhappy in his heart.
At the beginning, Emperor Wu missed Gillian's old feelings and favored her alone. Gillian never gave birth. Later, Princess Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, offered a singer for her.She is Wei Zifu . Gillian's fate was completely rewritten, and she was gradually alienated until she fell into the cold palace.
Emperor Wu saved Gillian's life, but it is better not to keep her. Empress Chen was deposed at the end of 11 years after occupying the position of queen. Since then, she has lived alone in the Longmen Palace, can no longer compete for the holy favor, and will never treat others arrogantly. Gillian lived in vanity all her life. She wanted to fight and win, but her repeated failures made her walk by the river, and eventually got wet. But does the last few years of living alone make any sense to Gillian?
Jinwu Cangjiao
Although Gillian is not good in every way, but the emperor Wu is relying on her help, and she is the first wife of Emperor Wu. The ancients said: The wife of the chaff will not go to the court. For Liu Che, she was just a pawn to use. Once the goal is reached, it will be replaced by a better newcomer.
Love, what is love? For Chen Ajiao and Liu Che, it is the falsehood of Jinwu Cangjiao. Isn't that the case with the Wei Zifu behind?
Companion with a monarch as a tiger—killing Dou Ying
Dou Ying, a native of Hengshui, Hebei. When Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, Dou Ying served as the Minister of the State of Wu, but was later dismissed due to illness. When Emperor Jing came to the throne, Ren Zhanshi was the official in charge of the family affairs of the queen and the prince. Dou Ying was hated by the Empress Dowager Dou for opposing Emperor Jing at a banquet to pass on the throne to his younger brother, Liang Xiaowang Liu Wu . Liu Wu is the same mother and brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. He is loved by his mother and the queen mother . When Emperor Jing said that he would pass on the throne to Liu Wu in a hundred years, Empress Dowager Dou was very happy, but she was resolutely opposed by her nephew Dou Ying. In a rage, the Queen Mother expelled Dou Ying from entering and leaving the palace gate, and was forbidden to enter the palace to see him. So Dou Ying resigned and went home under the pretext of illness
In 154 BC, the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu rebelled, appointed Dou Ying as a general,Stationed in Xingyang, supervising the movements of the soldiers and horses of Qi and Zhao. After the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was settled, Dou Ying was named Wei Qihou because of his power, and his fame was greatly enhanced. During the court proceedings, no one dared to sit on an equal footing with Tiaohou Zhou Yafu and Wei Qihou Dou Ying. This is because the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion concerns the stability of Emperor Jing’s dynasty, and the two major heroes who put down this rebellion were Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying. Dou Ying's guests also gradually left. Dou Ying was depressed all day long, but Guan's husband treated Dou Ying as always.
In the fourth year of Yuanguang (131 years ago), Guan Fu was arrested and sentenced to death for being improper to Han Wudi's uncle, the prime minister, 田蚡 . Dou Ying tried her best to rescue her husband, but she offended Tian Fu and the Queen Mother of Span17span , and was arrested and imprisoned herself. Dou Ying asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to summon him in the name of having received the edict of Emperor Jing. However, the Queen Mother took the lead to burn down the copy of Emperor Jing's edict in the palace. In this way, Dou Ying was a capital crime for "forging the edict." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the original copy of the edict of Emperor Jing and knew that Dou Ying was framed by others, but in the end he cruelly beheaded Dou Ying on Weicheng Street. Because Dou Ying was already useless to him at this time, Dou Ying, the elder of the three dynasties, said that he was abandoned when he was abandoned.
Dou Ying
forced Zhang Tang to death
Zhang Tang was a cruel official in the Han Wudi period. He was cruel because of this right, so he gave him this right Helped Emperor Wu of Han to bear the infamy. Zhang Tang not only helped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty investigate and deal with such major incidents as Empress Chen cursing Wei Zifu and the rebellion in Huainan and Hengshan, but also helped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implement the policy of monopolizing salt and iron, cracking down on wealthy merchants, and cutting off the powerful. Zhang Tang was once an official to Yushi doctor and was ranked third, but this also caused resentment from the rich and powerful. In the second year of Yuanding (116 BC), Zhang Tang was framed by the prime minister Li Wen and the prime minister Shi Zhu Maichen, and was exonerated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent envoys repeatedly to blame Zhang Tang,Forcing Zhang Tang to confess his guilt, Zhang Tang committed suicide in order to prove his innocence. After Zhang Tang's death, his family property was less than five hundred gold. It can be seen that he was a clean and frugal official, and he was a good official.
Annihilation Master Yan
Master Fu Yan was a major hero among civil servants during the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was he who proposed the political proposition of "great unification" to Emperor Wu of the Han. The transfer of salt, iron and coin rights to the central government eventually strengthened centralization and completely eliminated the hidden dangers of the power of the princes. The master father Yan also received an exceptional appointment from Emperor Wu, and was promoted four times in a year, and finally became a Zhongdian. But later the father Yan offended King Zhao for exposing the crime of King Yan, so Wang Zhao sent someone to report that the father Yan had received property from the princes, and even framed the father Yan and forced King Qi to death. After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han was furious, and took this as an excuse to arrest his father Yan and put him in jail, and exterminate him from his clan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the hands of others to destroy the heroes. The means of destroying the heroes is really high, and it is also a typical example for the master father Yan to give up when used up!
Father Yan
Unlucky Li Guang and Wei Qing’s son
will die as soon as he is called General Hou Ming. , To whom do you complain? It is Emperor Xiang Han Wu! Li Guang fought the Xiongnu for a lifetime, and went through the three dynasties of Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. During Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, because of the peace policy between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, Li Guang's military exploits were mainly to defend the Xiongnu. It was hard to wait until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could take the initiative to attack the Huns, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only reused the imperial generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing . Huo Qubing died young, so let’s leave it alone. Wei Qing is the spiritual pillar of the army soldiers because of too much credit. Emperor Wu dared not move him for fear of shaking the army. However, Wei Qing's son was not so lucky.
Wei Qing Er Zi Wei Dou Dou and San Zi Wei Deng,In 112 BC, because he did not respond to the imperial call to join the army, he was taken away by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing's eldest son, Wei Ma, was executed in 91 BC for being implicated in the bane of . After that, there was no record of Wei Qing's son. According to Emperor Wu’s principle of employing people, throw it away when you use it up. Regardless of your merits, as the saying goes, "the old won’t go away, the new won’t come." People suspect that the deaths of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing might also be related to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but it’s just too much. Concealed, people didn't know it at the time, nor do we people today!
The Bane of Witch Gu
In the 2nd year of Zhenghe (91 BC), the prime minister Gongsun He 's grandson and the son of Wugong were told the curse of the witch Princess Yangshi committed adultery, Gongsunhe and his son went to prison to die. Princess Zhuyi, Princess Yangshi, and son of Wei Qing, Changping Hou Wei, were all condemned. Emperor Wu's favored minister Jiang Chong was ordered to investigate the Wugu case and used torture and planting to force people to confess guilt. The ministers and the people indiscriminately confessed their crimes in terror. Tens of thousands of people died as a result.
There was a gap between Jiang Chong and the prince , Liu Zheng, so he took the opportunity to frame the prince, and framed the prince with the case Dao Hou Han, the eunuch Su Wen and the other four people framed the prince and the prince in fear. Jiang Chong was later suppressed by Emperor Wu and defeated. Empress Wei Zifu and Prince Liu Zheng committed suicide one after another. The three elders of Huguan, He Tian Qianqiu and others filed a lawsuit against the prince, but the Wudi Yijiangchong tribe, who finally woke up, burned to death Suwen . He also built a "thinking uterus" and used the prince's victim as a "returning platform for looking and thinking" to mourn.
is actually just a little fake by Emperor Wu to cover his atrocities. Just like the crocodile tears left by the crocodile after eating. If ever, Emperor Wu would still kill the prince. This might be the realm of the emperor.
Madam Gouyi
In the later period of Emperor Wu, he favored Madam Gouyi. After the prince died, he wanted to set up his youngest son 刘弗陵 as the prince. But at that time, I was very old and had a short life. The weak son and strong mother were the last thing Emperor Wu wanted to see. Reminiscent of the domineering and domineering of the Queen Mother Dou and Queen Wang during his reign, in order to pave the way for his son, he forced his mother to commit suicide on the grounds of establishing Liu Fulin as the prince. This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Zhaodi of Han Dynasty missed his mother and died young.
From Gillian to Wei Zifu, to Mrs. Gouyi. None of the favored concubines escaped the claws of Emperor Wu.
To sum up, most of the tricks used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to kill heroes were to kill with a knife without leaving a trace. This is why we only remember that Liu Bang, , Zhu Yuanzhang, were tyrants who killed heroes, but we often overlooked the reason why Emperor Wu of Han also loved to kill heroes! The evil of witchcraft launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years involved hundreds of thousands of people, a large number of political figures were killed, and the country was shaken. Some scholars believed that the evil of witchcraft was also the turning point of the Western Han Dynasty from its prosperity to decline.
