Liu Qi, the sixth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, was the eldest son of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Heng of the Western Han Dynasty, and his mother was the queen of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Dou Yifang of the Han Dynasty. During Liu Qi's reign, he implemented the "policy reduction policy", quelled the "rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms", consolidated centralization, continued to pursue the "rest with the people" policy, developed production, reduced taxes, inherited and developed his father's career, and created the " Wenjing Governance ", laying the foundation for his son Liu Che's " Hanwu Prosperity ".
On March 4, 2018, the seventh year of Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty (Guichou, 188 BC), Liu Qi was born in the fief of his father Liu Heng (now southwest of Pingyao County, Shanxi). At that time, Liu Heng was still the King of Dai, and his mother Dou was only the concubine of the King of Dai.
In the eighth year of Emperor Shao of the Western Han Dynasty (Xinyou, 180 BC), his father Liu Heng was supported as emperor, and he was Emperor Wen of Han. At this time, Queen Dai died before Liu Heng ascended the throne, and the four sons he gave birth to died of illness one after another. Liu Qi, who was originally ranked among Liu Heng's sons, became the eldest son.
In the first month of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (Renxu, 179 BC), the ministers and ministers requested to make the crown prince. Liu Qi was the eldest among all the sons, so he was made the crown prince.
In March of the same year, his mother Dou's name was the queen. When Liu Qi was the crown prince, Liu Xian, the eldest son of King Wu, Liu Bian (the nephew of Liu Bang, the son of King Qing Liu Zhong), came to Beijing and drank and played chess with Liu Qi. Liu Xian's master developed a frivolous and tough personality because he was . He played with the prince, fought against the chess path, and did not give in at all, and his attitude was disrespectful. Liu Qi then picked up the chessboard and beat him, but unexpectedly beat him to death. Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng sent someone to send Liu Xian's body back to Wu for burial. Liu Bi said angrily: "There is a sect in the world. If you die, you will be buried in Chang'an. Why should you send it back?" He sent someone to transport the coffin to Chang'an for burial. Since then, he claimed that he was sick and never went to Chang'an to see him again.
In June of the seventh year of Houyuan (Jiashen, 157 BC), Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, died. On the ninth day of that month, Crown Prince Liu Qi inherited the throne and was Emperor Jing of Han. He respected his grandmother, Empress Dowager Bo Ji as the Empress Dowager, and his mother, Empress Dowager , Empress Dou as the Empress Dowager.
In this year, King Wu of Changsha died, and had no son, and the country was eliminated.
In April of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty BC, Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (Yiyou, 156 BC), the world was amnesty. In that month, Emperor Jing of Han sent the Censor Tao Qing to the Dianxia to marry the Xiongnu.
In May of the same year, an edict issued a decree to reduce land rent by half, that is, to reduce the 15th tax to 30th tax. From then on, this new land rent tax rate became customized in the Western Han Dynasty; and the reduction of 500 flogging was three hundred, and 300 was two hundred.
After Liu Qi ascended the throne, he reused Chao Cuo and promoted him to the Left Inner Historian. At that time, the Tingwei Zhang Shizhi was panicked because he impeached the prince in his early years and was about to retire because he was sick. He was worried that he would be punished even more. Later, he adopted the method of meeting Liu Qi to apologize and was forgiven by Emperor Jing of Han. A year later, Zhang Shizhi was demoted to the prime minister of Huainan Kingdom and died soon after.
In the second year of BC Yuan of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (Bingxu, 155 BC), issued an edict to postpone the age of men's corvee service for 3 years and shorten the service time. This regulation has been used until the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Zhao's period. Emperor Jing of Han continued to build horse politics and ordered the expansion of horse gardens located in the west ( Beidi County ) and the north ( Shangjun ), and encouraged the county and state and the people to raise horses. Due to the development of the horse breeding industry, military horse production has a large scale, and the number of horses belonging to the government has grown to 400,000, which is not yet considered by the people.
In March of the same year, the prince Liu De was appointed King of Hejian, Liu Yan was appointed King of Linjiang, Liu Yu was appointed King of Huaiyang, Liu Fei was appointed King of Runan, Liu Pengzu was appointed King of Guangzhou, and Liu Fa was appointed King of Changsha.
In April, Empress Dowager Bo died. Because she was not a legitimate, she was buried in Nanling near her son Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, and was unable to be buried with Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang.
June, Prime Minister Shentu Jia died.
In August, Emperor Jing of Han promoted Tao Qing to prime minister, and promoted Chao Cuo to become one of the three dukes. At that time, after analysis, Chao Cuo reminded Emperor Jing of Han to beware of the most powerful king of Wu, Liu Bi, who was the king of Wu, and strongly advocated the destruction of the kings. So, Liu Qi adopted his "Strategy for Reducing the Void" and decided to seize the Wu Kingdom's , Kuaiji, and Yuzhang counties.
In October, Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Wu, the younger brother of Liang, came to Chang'an to pay homage.Empress Dowager Dou spoiled her young son and ordered her to be in charge of more than 40 cities. The land in the ban country was fertile and rewarded countless wealth. The treasury contained hundreds of millions of dollars, and there were more pearls, jade and treasures than the capital. Emperor Jing of Han also had a deep affection for this compatriot. Whenever King Liang entered Beijing, he would send envoys to welcome him in a car with his rituals. Even the Shizhong of Liang, the Langguan, and the Evangelist, just register his names in the name book to enter and exit the Emperor's Hall, which is no different from the officials of the court. At that time, Emperor Jing of Han had not yet established a crown prince. He claimed during a banquet with King Liang: "Wait a hundred years later, I will pass the throne to you." King Liang expressed his humility and thanked him. Although he knew that this was not true, he was still happy, and Empress Dowager Dou was even more so. However, the Secretary of the Warrior, Dou Ying, was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dou, and said with wine: "The world is the world of Emperor Gaozu, and the father and son are inherited from the throne. This is the provision of the Han Dynasty. How can the emperor pass the throne to King Liang? Your Majesty is wrong today, please drink this wine." After his reminder, Emperor Jing of Han also felt promiscuous and immediately took the wine and drank it all. Empress Dowager Dou was angry and hated Dou Ying very much. She not only removed him from his post, but also removed his family.
The third year of BC Yuan 1, Jingdi of the Western Han Dynasty (Dinghai, 154 BC) , a comet appeared in the western sky. Soon, a fire broke out in East Palace in Luoyang.
In the same year, Emperor Jing of Han successively cut off the six counties of Donghai County of King Liu Wu of Chu, Changshan County of King Liu Sui of Zhao, and Liu Sui of King Liu Xi of Jiaoxi for various charges. This is what is called "reducing the vassal states" in history. When the envoy sent the land-cut edict to Wu, Liu Bi was unwilling to surrender. After killing the envoy, he put forward the banner of "clearing the king's side and killing Chao Cuo" and called on the vassal states to raise troops. When the news spread, Liu Zu, King of Jiaoxi, Liu Xiongqu, King of Jiaodong, Liu Xian, King of Chu, Liu Piguang, King of Jinan, Liu Wu, and Liu Sui, responded one after another, and the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" broke out. Liu Bi led an army of 200,000 to join the Chu army, swung his sword to the west, and killed tens of thousands of Han soldiers. The news reached Chang'an. Emperor Jing of Han promoted Zhou Yafu, the second son of Zhou Bo, to Taiwei, and together with 36 generals, he led his troops to attack the rebels of Wu and Chu.
During this period, although Emperor Jing of Han had sent troops, he was still shaking, which gave Yuan Angke an opportunity. Yuan Ang was originally the prime minister of Wu and had a close relationship with King Liu Bi of Wu. After entering the court, he did think about the court, but the biggest shortcoming of this person was his narrow aura. Before the outbreak of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Chao Cuo criticized him in front of Emperor Jing of Han, so he held a grudge and said to Emperor Jing of Han: "The only plan is to kill Chu, and I will send envoys to pardon the seven countries of Wu and Chu, and restore their old land. The soldiers can be stopped without blood!" In exchange for the seven countries to dismiss the troops, Emperor Jing of Han naively listened to Yuan Ang's words and ordered Chao Cuo to behead him in the East City and slaughter his clan. However, when he issued a letter of surrender, Liu Bi smiled and said, "I am already the emperor of the East. Who is qualified to issue an edict to me?" Only then did he realize that Langzi was ambitious and regretful. He made up his mind to quell the rebellion with force. He then ordered Zhou Yafu to be the Grand Marshal and adopted his proposal to cut off the rebels' food route and stick to the strategy that he could not do, and defeated the rebels and quelled the rebellion in March. King Liu Bi of Wu was defeated and fled to the Minyue Kingdom (now Fuzhou, Fujian), and killed him; King Liu Wu of Chu committed suicide, and the remaining five countries surrendered one after another.
After the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was quelled, Emperor Jing of Han took back the rights of the princes and kings, and abolished the number of officials from the princes and kings. In addition, he deprived and weakened the power of the princes and kings, deposed and deposed their status, and took back the power of the appointment and removal of officials, administrative power, and judicial privileges, such as the power to mine resources such as salt, iron, and copper. Except for the preservation of , Chu and the establishment of the King of Chu, the other six countries were all abolished. At this point, the princes were still nominally vassals, but in fact they became a noble class that only enjoyed local rents and taxes, and no longer had the conditions to confront the central government. At that time, when King Liu Wu of Liang was rebelling in the Seven Kingdoms, he managed Juyang and made great contributions, and since then he became even more arrogant.
In June of the same year, generals from all walks of life returned to the court one after another. Emperor Jing of Han rewarded Dou Ying as Wei Qihou and Luanbu as marquis. Because Zhou Yafu and Cao Xiang were not convenient to add it, they rewarded some gold and silk. They also named marquis Zongzheng Liu Li (the second son of Liu Jiao, the second son of Liu Jiao, the king of Wu, and the king of Huaiyang, Liu Yu, was transferred to Lu Wang, and Liu Fei, the king of Runan, was Jiangdu, and the prince was Liu Duan as marquis, Liu Che was marquis, and Liu Sheng as marquis, and Zhongshan, and Liu Bo was promoted to marquis, and marquis, Liu Bo, the king of Jibei, and marquis, and marquis, and marquis, Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan.
In the fourth year of BC Yuan of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (Wu Zi, 153 BC), , Emperor Jing of Han made his beloved eldest son, Liu Rong, the eldest son of Li Ji, the , whom he loved, the crown prince. At that time, Princess Tao, the elder sister of Emperor Jing of Han, wanted to make her daughter become the queen in the future, so she sent someone to explain the relationship. Unexpectedly, Liu Rong's biological mother Li Ji hated Liu Piao's repeated invitations to the palace and refused the marriage. The annoyed Liu Piao then gave his daughter Chen Jiao to Liu Che, the son born to Emperor Jing of Han, Wang Zhi , and from time to time he said bad things about Li Ji in front of Emperor Jing of Han, and praised Liu Che. Liu Piao claimed that Li Ji often asked the palace maids to curse and curse the favored concubines with witchcraft behind their backs. After hearing this, Liu Qi developed disgust towards Li Ji. Once, Emperor Jing of Han was unwell and deliberately tried Li Ji: "After I was a hundred years old, you should treat other concubines and their sons well!" However, Li Ji did not agree directly, but instead spoke ill of evil words, which made Emperor Jing of Han feel disgusted.
In July of the same year, Liu Yan, the king of Linjiang, born to Li Ji, died and was posthumously named "Linjiang Ai Wang". Because of the lack of children, the feudal state was abolished.
BC 5 BC 5th year of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (Jichou, 152 BC) , Emperor Jing of Han sent a princess to marry the Xiongnu military minister Shanyu , and established a pass in the border areas of the Xiongnu. Local residents could trade with the Xiongnu, which to a certain extent eliminated the harassment of the Xiongnu.
In the sixth year of BC Yuan of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (Gengyin, 151 BC), In September, Liu Qi deposed the empress Bo, who had never been born. So, in November of the same year, Liu Piao instigated the Grand Priest to the Grand Priest to submitting the request to make Li Ji the queen. The great official also realized that this should be the case, so he told Emperor Jing of Han: "As the saying goes, 'The son is noble for his mother, and the mother is noble for his son'. The prince's biological mother is still a concubine, so she should be given a name, so please make her the queen." When Emperor Jing of Han heard this, he recognized this person as a lobbyist of Li Ji and was furious: "Is this what you should say?" He imprisoned the letter to the Grand Official and deposed the prince Liu Rong as the King of Linjiang. At that time, the prince's grand tutor Dou Ying fought hard to get it, so he thanked him for his illness and was relieved. Li Ji died of anger.
In this year, the deposed queen Bo died of illness and was buried in the south of Wangting in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an.
In March of the seventh year of BC Yuan of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (Xinmao, 150 BC), Emperor Jing of Han removed the position of Prime Minister Tao Qing and appointed Zhou Yafu as prime minister.
In April of the same year, Wang Zhicai, the biological mother of Jiaodong King Liu Che, was the queen, and his sister, , Wang Xi'e, also became a wife. In that month, Liu Che made the crown prince.
In this year, the cruel official Zhidu was the lieutenant, nicknamed ' Goshawk '. Earlier, Emperor Jing of Han once traveled to Shangyuan with Jia Ji in the palace. During the trip, Jia Ji wanted to urinate and went to the toilet. Suddenly, a wild boa rushed out of the beast railing and broke into the toilet. Emperor Jing of Han drew out his sword and prepared to go forward to rescue him. Zhidu slumped and persuaded him: "Your Majesty has lost another concubine. How can there be few beautiful women in the world? If Your Majesty takes risks, he may not be sorry for the Empress Dowager of the Ancestral Temple. How can he be a woman, regardless of the importance of the matter!" As he was speaking, the wild horse withdrew, and Jia Ji also came out, but fortunately he was not injured. Afterwards, someone advised Zhidu, and joined Empress Bai, praised him for his knowledge of righteousness and rewarded him with a hundred kilograms of gold.
In April of the first year of Zhongyuan in the Western Han Dynasty (Renchen, 149 BC), Emperor Jing of Han issued an edict to amnesty the world.
In the same year, an earthquake occurred and hail fell in the original capital of Hengshan Kingdom, with the largest diameter reaching one foot or eight inches.

In the second year of Zhongyuan in Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (Guisi, 148 BC) February, the Xiongnu invaded Yan State fiefdom.
In March of the same year, the deposed crown prince Liu Rong was convicted of occupying the ancestral temple and building a palace. He was taken from Jiangling (Hubei) to the Lieutenant's Mansion in the capital for trial.Lieutenant Zhidu was always harsh in his methods, and Liu Rong could not bear it. He asked Zhidu to give him a pen and wanted to write a letter to apologize to his father, but he did not get permission. Wei Qihou Dou Ying secretly gave him a pen. After Liu Rong wrote a letter to apologize, he committed suicide at the Lieutenant's Mansion and was posthumously named " Linjiang Minwang ". Empress Dowager Dou was furious when she heard the news and hated Zhi deeply that she refused to tolerate it. With her intervention, Zhidu was killed. In this way, the only sons that Li Ji gave birth to only Hejian King Liu De remained. He was King of Hejian for 26 years and never got involved in the political whirlpool. Instead, he devoted his life to the collection and sorting of ancient Chinese cultural books.
It should be mentioned here that the "Mao Shi" and "Zuo Zhuan" that have been passed down to the present and have a great influence in future generations should be Liu De's achievements. Liu De liked Confucianism, and his clothes, words and deeds were all the same as Confucian scholars. Most of the Confucian scholars from Shandong were attached to him. When Liu Defan got a good book from the people, he would be able to write it back, and he would keep the original book and give it gold, silver, jade and silk to reward books from all directions. Therefore, there are many old books, and most of them are reported to the King of Hejian. Therefore, the number of books obtained can be equivalent to the official collection. In addition, the books obtained are all ancient texts and old books in the pre-Qin period, which are of high value.
In April, an alien star appeared in the northwest sky. In that month, Emperor Jing of Han named Prince Liu Yue as King of Guangchuan , and Liu Ji as King of Jiaodong.
In September, a solar eclipse occurred.
In this year, King Liang Liu Wu resented Yuan Ang and his gang of ministers who blocked him as his heirs, so he planned with Yang Sheng, Gongsun Gui and others to assassinate Yuan Ang outside the Guo Gate of Anling, and Emperor Jing of Han found out the truth. During this period, Empress Dowager Dou was also deeply worried about the King of Liang because of Yuan Ang's assassination. She did not eat all day and cried day and night. Therefore, Emperor Jing of Han chose to forgive his younger brother, only thinking that he did not know about Yuan Ang's assassination, and only punished Yang Sheng and Gongsun Gui. When Empress Dowager Dou received the news, the stone fell to the ground in her heart, and then she got up to eat. When Liu Wu learned that the emperor's brother would no longer pursue the matter, he wrote a letter to ask to go to the capital to court.
King Liang and his party arrived at the gate of the pass. His subordinate Mao Lan suggested that King Liang should surrender and take only two cavalry into the pass to confess his guilt. Therefore, King Liang hid in the garden of Princess Tao Chang in the eldest sister's hall to observe the movements and stillness. Emperor Jing of Han sent an envoy to greet him, but he saw that his cart had not seen him. Empress Dowager Dou cried when she heard this, "The Emperor really killed my son!" Emperor Jing of Han was very frightened and looked around. When King Liang learned about the situation, he chose the best time, and leaned against the palace gate with his torture instrument, pleaded guilty and asked for punishment. His appearance made the Empress Dowager and the Emperor overjoyed, and the mother and son cried to each other. However, although the relationship between the two brothers has been calmed down, there is no scene of entering and leaving the ban in the same carriage.
In April of the third year of Zhongyuan in the Western Han Dynasty (Jiangwu, 147 BC), an earthquake occurred.
In March of the same year, Prince Liu Cheng was established as the King of Qinghe.
In September, a locust plague occurred. At that time, Xu Lu, the chief of the Xiongnu tribe, and six others, kowtowed to surrender. One of the descendants of Lu's surname was the grandson of the former rebel king Lu Wan , named Lu Taren. Emperor Jing of Han then appointed six people as marquis. Prime Minister Zhou Yafu was straightforward and stubborn. Emperor Jing of Han was gradually alienated from him. This time he went to the court to advise: "Lu people are descendants of the rebel king, so they should be punished. How can they be granted title? Even in addition, the rebel king , who was rebelled against the lord, was also unfaithful. Your Majesty was granted the title of marquis instead. How can you teach me!" Emperor Jing of Han changed his expression and said, "The Prime Minister has not agreed to the current situation, so don't do it!" Zhou Yafu then resigned from his position as prime minister with illness. Emperor Jing of Han did not stay politely, and also used Taohou Liu She as prime minister.
In April of the fourth year of Zhongyuan in Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (Yiwei, 146 BC), a locust plague occurred.

In October, King Liu of Liang came to Beijing to pay homage. According to the system of the princes paying tribute to the emperor in the early Western Han Dynasty, each time they pay tribute, the emperor met 4 times: the princes and kings first arrived in the capital and met once, and called it "Xiao Jian"; on the first day of the first lunar month, the princes "recommend jade to celebrate the first lunar month" and called it "Fa Jian". Three days later, the emperor held a banquet to entertain the princes and gave them money and property; two days later, the princes came to see the emperor again, also known as "Xiao Jian", and then said goodbye to the capital and returned to the fiefdom.However, the princes shall not stay in Beijing for more than 20 days when they meet the emperor. In the past, when King Liang entered Beijing, he was never subject to this constraint and sometimes stayed in the capital for half a year. During this visit, King Liang wanted to stay as long as before, but wrote a letter but failed to get the approval, so he had to leave Beijing on schedule. This incident was very exciting to me, and I felt that my past favor was gone forever and I was depressed after returning to China.
In December, Prime Minister Liu She changed the title of the official title of Zhu Tingwei and General Zuo. For example: the county magistrate was changed to the prefect, the county magistrate was changed to the Duwei, the Tingwei was changed to Dali, the Fengchang was changed to Taichang , the Dianke was changed to Daxing (later changed to Dahonglu), the inner history of the millet was changed to Dayuan (later changed to Dashiyuan), the general was changed to Shaofu and the general was changed to Dazhi, the chief lieutenant was changed to Duwei (later changed to Youfufeng), Changxin Zhanshi was changed to Changxin Shaofu, the general was changed to Dachangqiu, and the Zhongdafu was changed to Weiwei.
The sixth year of Zhongyuan in the Western Han Dynasty (Dingyou, 144 BC) In April, the Liang King Liu Wu returned to the country for a few months. He was unhappy and took advantage of the junction of spring and summer to go out for fun. Suddenly, someone offered a ox with a strange shape and feet on his back, which surprised the King of Liang. He stopped hunting and returned. He was still in a state of fear, causing the disease. He suffered from fever symptoms for 6 days, and the medicine was ineffective, and he died that month. Empress Dowager Dou was extremely sad when she learned that her beloved son had died. She cried and said, "The emperor really killed my son!" Emperor Jing of Han had to discuss with his elder sister Princess Tao, split the Liang Kingdom into five, and make all the five sons of King Liang (the eldest son, Liu Mai, King of Gong of Liang, Liu Ming, King of Jichuan, Liu Pengli, the third son, Liu Pengli, King of Jidong, Liu Ding, King of Shanyang, and Liu Bushishi); and also gave Liang King five daughters, Tang Muyi, which made the Empress Dowager turn sadness into joy.

However, Jia Li was prohibited from buying and selling items by the court, and the resentful servant reported it, claiming that Zhou Yafu bought banned goods privately and intended to rebel. Emperor Jing of Han sent people to investigate thoroughly, because Zhou Yafu did not know what his son did, so he did not know about it at one question. The officials thought he was angry and reported to him in a vain. Emperor Jing of Han said angrily: "It seems that only if Tingwei (the Supreme Judicial Judge) comes to trial, he will speak." At this time, Zhou Yafu also learned the whole situation from his son who visited the prison, so he said to Tingwei: "My son bought funeral items, how could he rebel?" Tingwei sneered: "I think you not only want to rebel on the ground, but you may also rebel underground!" Zhou Yafu could not bear the humiliation and went on a hunger strike to protest, and vomited blood and died of death after 5 days.

In the same year, Weng (from Shu, Lujiang County) founded the first school in China.
time is the time, Empress Dowager Dou believes in the inaction of Huang Lao's learning , and Emperor Jing of Han and the clan of Dou surname had to read "Laozi". Empress Dowager Dou once summoned Dr. Yuan Gusheng and asked, "What kind of book is Laozi?" Yuan Gusheng didn't know the current affairs: "It's just a book that ordinary people read, and it makes no sense." Empress Dowager Dou was furious: "Does it be necessary to write Sikong and Chengdan?" Yuan Gusheng knew that the words were ridiculed by Confucianism, and compared with the prison officials and Chengdan criminal law, he turned around and retreated because of his disagreement with his private opinions. The queen mother, who was still angry, ordered her to throw it into the wild boar pen and let her fight with the wild boar. Emperor Jing of Han was not willing to be directly impartial to his mother, and he was afraid that he would lose, so he ordered someone to secretly throw a dagger into it, which made Yuan Gusheng stab the wild boar to death and escape. Because of this, Emperor Jing of Han reigned for 16 years and never used a Confucian scholar.
In the third year of Houyuan in the Western Han Dynasty (Gengzi, 141 BC), Liu Qi suffered from illness.When the disease worsened, he knew that it would not work, so he presided over the crown prince Liu Che's ceremony (coming-coming ceremony) during the illness.
