So, why did Emperor Wen of Han finally kill his only uncle? Bo Zhao was Bo Ji’s only younger brother. In fact, before Emperor Wen of Han came to the throne, his family was not very powerful.

Liu Heng is the son of Liu Bang. Originally he was not the emperor, but just the acting king. However, after the Zhulu War, he was made emperor by Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others, that is, Emperor Wen of Han . In fact, Liu Heng was quite worried at first. He even asked his uncle Bo Zhao to go to Chang'an to find out the news. After Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he named his uncle the Marquis of Zhen. So why did Emperor Wen of Han finally kill his only uncle? In fact, Emperor Wen of Han did not kill his uncle. He couldn't bear it, so he forced his uncle to death. The main reason why he was like this was that Bo Zhao was good at killing court ministers and eventually committed suicide after being convicted.

Bo Zhao is the only younger brother of Bo Ji. In fact, before Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne, his family was not very powerful. This was the main reason why Liu Heng was regarded as the emperor back then.

There are not many records about Bo Zhao in history, just a few things. First, Liu Heng received a notice in Daiguo that he was to be the emperor. Liu Heng was not sure whether it was true or not, so he sent his uncle to Chang'an to inquire about the news. Bo Zhao risked his life to meet Zhou Bo, asked about the whole story, and confirmed that it was true. After returning, he told his nephew that the overall situation was decided. Therefore, Liu Heng went to Chang'an to ascend the throne as emperor. After he ascended the throne, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty valued his only uncle very much and even named him Marquis of Zhen.

After Zhou Bo lost power, he was afraid of being killed, so he gave Bo Zhao all the property he had received from him. To put it bluntly, he was bribing him. In the end, Bo Zhao actually advised Empress Dowager Bo on his behalf. After many efforts to speak to the Empress Dowager, Zhou Bo was acquitted.

Objectively speaking, after his nephew became the emperor, Bo Zhao was indeed a little arrogant. Gradually lose oneself and transform into an image of extravagance, arrogance and lawlessness. He even planted cronies inside and outside the court to blatantly interfere in government affairs. If the emperor was a coward, such behavior might be acceptable, but Emperor Wen of Han was not such a person. He was a wise emperor, so it was naturally unacceptable. Therefore, Emperor Wen of Han gradually became more and more dissatisfied with his uncle.

But dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, and Emperor Hanwen had no intention of getting rid of him. But Bo Zhao became more and more outrageous, and even killed the envoy sent by Emperor Wen of , which completely angered Emperor Wen. However, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty couldn't bear to kill this uncle, so he thought of a way to send ministers to drink with Bo Zhao, hoping that Bo Zhao would wake up and end it on his own. But he still refused, so Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty asked the officials to wear mourning clothes and go to Bo Zhao's house to mourn. This was to tell him that you had no chance. So, Bo Zhao had no choice but to commit suicide.
