Wei Qing , Huo Qubing created a brilliant record of the Empire's double walls as an illegitimate son, which is unique in Chinese history. Just as a hero does not ask about birth, Wei Qing was born humble, but he used his strength to build the most powerful group of foreign relatives in the Han Dynasty. A powerful group that cannot be reached by foreign relatives in the past dynasties.
Because he was cautious all his life, he obeyed Emperor Wu of Han , allowing him to spend his old age safely and become one of the few military generals in history who can have a good end. But 17 years after his death, in 91 BC, Emperor Wu of Han cleaned up the powerful group of foreign relatives of the Wei family like a storm.
even the queen Wei Zifu , nephew crown prince Liu were implicated, not to mention Wei Qing's son and grandson, the Wei family was implicated and killed, but Huo Qubing died young, and his half-brother Huo Guang escaped and became the auxiliary minister of Emperor Zhao of Han. Liu Bingyi After he was in power, Huo Guang was also uprooted.
Throughout history, no emperor has ever been so afraid of the power of relatives and killed his own son. Emperor Wu of Han was a talented and stubborn emperor, but at the beginning of his succession, he was overwhelmed by the forces of his relatives. It was not until Empress Dowager Dou passed away that he truly possessed all the power of the emperor.
Therefore, he hated the power of foreign relatives. Not only did he kill the Wei family, but before his death, when Liu Fuling was made the crown prince, he personally sentenced him to death Lady Gouyi to prevent his son from being weak and the mother was strong, and the empress dowager would interfere in politics in the future. However, Emperor Wu of Han made great contributions, and the Han Dynasty was finally captured by the relative Wang Mang .
Therefore, it would be a matter of time before Emperor Wu of Han would settle the Wei family, as a huge foreign relative. So why was the Wei family group not affected at all under the eyes of Emperor Wu of Han in his early years? First of all, the group of foreign relatives established by Wei Qing was promoted by Emperor Wu of Han.
At the beginning, Wei Zifu went from being a slave in Princess Pingyang's mansion to being favored by Emperor Wu of Han, all the Wei family had left their slaves. Wei Zifu's younger brother Zheng Qing also took the opportunity to change his mother's surname, Wei, and he was the famous general Wei Qing. Wei Zifu entered the palace for more than a year and could not even see Emperor Wu of Han, so how could he talk about pampering?
posthumously because Empress Chen proposed to release a group of old palace maids from the palace. Wei Zifu begged Emperor Wu of Han to let her go out of the palace, but Emperor Wu of Han was lucky again and became pregnant with Emperor Wu of Han's dragon heir, which made Empress Gillian, who had been favored for more than ten years, very dissatisfied. In order to show Wei Zifu the color, Empress Gillian's mother, Princess Guantao, arrested Wei Qing, who was working in Jianzhang Palace and went to prison.
Unexpectedly, it was retrieved by Wei Qing’s friend Gongsun Ao . Emperor Wu of Han was very furious when he heard about it. In order to fight against his mother-in-law, he vigorously promoted and rewarded Wei Zi's wife's family. And let Wei Qing follow him to learn. Ten years later, when Emperor Wu of Han wanted to pK with the Huns, Wei Qing helped him a lot.
In 129 BC, Emperor Wu of Han selected four generals with Li Guang , Gongsun He , Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing as generals. Among them, Li Guang and Gongsun He are both veterans, Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao are both fledgling and are purely new recruits. However, what is unexpected is that Wei Qing, the only general in the four routes, won a great victory and killed more than 700 enemies.
In the following six battles against Xiongnu , there was no defeat. In 129 BC, Wei Qing recovered Hetao and was granted Changping Hou. In 124 BC, Wei Qing attacked Zuo Xianwang and became the general after he was appointed as the general. His three sons were granted marquis, breaking the precedent that the surname Liu was not allowed to be granted marquis without the surname Liu, and he was not allowed to be granted marquis without making contributions.
In 123 BC, my nephew Huo Qubing followed Wei Qing to war, and even captured the Huns royal family with thunder and became the champion. In the subsequent battles, Wei Qing, a military genius, had exceeded the imagination of Emperor Wu of Han. So Emperor Wu of Han began to suppress Wei Qing. Even if he made great contributions.
Not only did Emperor Wu of Han not reward him, but let Huo Qubing manage affairs with him. Wei Qing slowly retreated, but what he did not expect was that Huo Qubing died young, causing Emperor Wu to lose a military genius. In the years that followed, no one could compete with Wei Qing.
At this time, Emperor Wu of Han took back the title of Wei Qing's son on false charges, which did not cause any harm to the Wei Qing family. However, Wei Qing had no complaints and was still loyal to Emperor Wu of Han. With the principle of hitting a few times and touching it, in 111 BC, Emperor Wu married his widowed sister, Princess Pingyang, to Wei Qing.
After that, Emperor Wu never reused Wei Qing, and Wei Qing never complained. He suppressed Emperor Wu of Han and accepted his entire suppression and restrained his tribe members from being in a stable manner. So Wei Qing was able to pass away safely. After Wei Qing's death, no one could restrain the Wei family group again.
So after Wei Qing's death, Wei Qing's nephew Gongsun Jingsheng was thrown into prison for embezzling military pay. Gongsun Sheng, who was eager to save his son, took the initiative to ask to capture the thief Zhu Anshi, and exchange his life for his son. As a result, Zhu Anshi bit back in prison, saying that Gongsun Jingsheng and Princess Yangshi had committed adultery, and buried a wooden man on the way through which Emperor Wu of Han cursed Emperor Wu of cursed Emperor Wu for rebellion.
Gongsun Sheng's family was beheaded, and Wei Zifu and Emperor Wu of Han's biological daughter were not spared. Later, the eunuch Jiang Chong was asked to investigate the matter. Because Jiang Chong had a slight dispute with Prince Liu Ju, the prince was framed but could not defend himself. So after obtaining the consent of the Queen's guard Zifu, he raised an army to kill Jiang Chong, but was defeated and forced to die. Only the newborn grandson Liu Bingyi was spared.
After learning about the death of the prince, the queen's guard Zifu committed suicide to prove his innocence. The three daughters of Wei Zifu and Wei Qing's son Wei Kang were implicated this time. The Wei family was killed in a tragic death. The only thing that unexpected was that the prince Liu Ju was also unjustly killed, which was unexpected by Emperor Wu of Han. For this reason, he established a platform to express his longing.
The huge group of foreign relatives of the Wei family was completely destroyed. Finally, when Emperor Wu of Han made his youngest son Liu Fuling the crown prince when he was old, he was afraid that the empress dowager would disturb the court's rules and sentenced Mrs. Gouyi to death and established the rule of "killing the mother and leaving the son". However, what Emperor Wu of Han did not expect was that the Han Dynasty was eventually defeated by the foreign relative Wang Mang.
