In 179 BC, Liu Qi was made the crown prince by Emperor Wen of Han . Liu Qi had a housekeeper named Chao Cuo , and he often mentioned the need to weaken the princes and kings.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, the conflict between imperial power and princes and kings had begun to be exposed, and many ministers were worried about the threat posed by the kingdom's forces to the court.

Emperor Jing of Han After Liu Qi ascended the throne, Chao Cuo was appointed as the censor. He once again proposed to Emperor Jing's proposal to "reduce the vassal states".

Chao Cuo believes that the power of the vassal kings is the strongest. When Emperor Jing was the crown prince, he beat the King of Wu to death. The King of Wu held a grudge and would sooner or later rebellion.

Emperor Jing also felt that it would be better to reduce the vassal states. In 154 BC, Emperor Jing began to reduce the vassal states. A series of actions to reduce the vassals by the imperial court made King Wu Liu Bi premonition that the disaster was coming, so he conspired to connect with the princes and prepare to launch a rebellion.

In 154 BC, the King of Wu united seven princes and rebelled under the banner of "slaying Chao Cuo to clear the king's side".

200,000 rebels went straight to several cities, and they were unstoppable. Their real purpose was to replace Emperor Jing.

On the one hand, Emperor Jing transferred his troops to quell the rebellion, and on the other hand, he wanted to compromise with the rebels. He was in a dilemma for a while,

Yuan Ang offered a plan to Emperor Jing: "As long as you kill Chao Cuo and restore the fiefs of the seven countries, you can calm down." Yuan Ang was in a disagreement with Chao Cuo and wanted to use a knife to kill people.

Emperor Jing believed in slander for a moment and executed Chao Cuo.

Chao Cuo is dead, and the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu did not withdraw their troops. The King of Wu sneered and threw Emperor Jing's edict on the ground.

Emperor Jing killed a good minister by mistake and regretted it. So he sent Zhou Yafu as the head coach to conquer the rebels.

Zhou Yafu was brave and good at fighting, defeated the Wu and Chu coalition forces, quelling the rebellion of the seven kingdoms . After quelling the rebellion, Emperor Jing continued to take measures to take all the administrative powers of the kingdom to the central government.

During the reign of Emperor Jing, Emperor Wen of Han continued to implement the policy of reducing taxes and levying taxes, and the country's financial resources were further strengthened.

He also ordered the reduction of the punishment and eased class contradictions.

Emperor Jing reduced his vassals and maintained the unification of Han and was committed to developing the economy. During the reign of Emperor Wen and Jing, he was collectively known as "Wenjing's rule ".

However, Emperor Jing's practice of killing scapegoats also made many ministers in later generations feel cold. In 86 BC, Emperor Jing of Han died of illness.
