No matter how his merits are judged, but when it comes to him, we always have to admit that he was an extraordinary person. Although his evening view is indeed very desolate, however, why would a generation of male lords be so desolate in the evening? In fact, the real reason is only a word of power, power can make people alienated, and he has lost the common sense of man.
First of all, the love between father and son, the eldest son Liu Zhao has been made the crown prince for decades, Emperor Wu of Han is also very appreciative of Liu Zhao, he himself once said that the most suitable group behind him is the crown prince Liu Zhao, but later, in his old age, Emperor Wu of Han's suspicion became more and more intense, always thinking that there were people around him who wanted to harm him, and he had been worried about others plotting against him. Originally, people were old, their physical strength was not as good as before, and it was common for them to get sick the older they were, but Emperor Wudi of Han listened to the words of a jianghu warlock named Jiang Chong, believing that Emperor Wudi of Han was sick because someone wanted to kill him, and there was a lot of witchcraft in Chang'an City, because someone wanted to use witchcraft to murder him. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han sent Jiang Chong to investigate the matter, and Jiang Chong had a vendetta against the crown prince, so he ran to the prince's palace to dig up a random dig, and indeed dug up a little evidence that the prince framed Emperor Wu of Han.
Of course, this evidence was naturally made up by Jiang Yi, and the prince had no way to prove his innocence. The crown prince had no choice but to kill Jiang Chong, and the news reached the ears of Emperor Wu of Han, who thought that the crown prince wanted to return and immediately ordered that someone be sent to arrest the prince. After the defeat of the prince, he chose to commit suicide, but when his son died, he began to miss the prince again, so he suspected that the reason why his son would become like this was entirely because of his greed for power, and he was more and more reluctant to give up his power, so he was also very afraid of the people around him seizing his power.
Emperor Wu of Han had six sons, the second son was caught early, and after the death of the crown prince, the third son Liu Dan the Prince of Yan, immediately wrote to him that he wanted to protect Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han was furious, and he immediately sent someone to the State of Yan to reprimand Liu Dan. Of course, Liu Dan certainly had the intention of coveting the throne, but it was also reasonable for him to go to Chang'an to protect his father, and Han Wushi did not care about the feelings of father and son at all, entirely because he saw through the mind of the third son.
The fourth son, Liu Qi, the Prince of Changyi, can be said to have been scared to death by his father, and the first three sons had no hope of inheriting the throne, so the most promising one was the fourth son, and the uncle of the fourth son was Li Guangli, who was in power at that time, plus Li Guangli's children's relative Liu Quyi was also the chancellor. Therefore, Li Guangli has also been trying to find ways to let the four princes take the throne, but their plot was known to Emperor Wu of Han, so he immediately arrested Li Guangli's relatives and beheaded Liu Quyi, and as a result, Liu Guangli fell ill and died in fear.
Liu Xu, the fifth son of Emperor Wu of Han, was far away in Guangling and was a very powerful prince, who could not only fight bears and carry dings, but also wrestle very much. But Emperor Wu of Han would not hand over jiangshan to him. Emperor Wu of Han chose to leave Jiangshan in the hands of his younger son and made his younger son the crown prince.
After talking about the son of Emperor Wu of Han, let's talk about his daughter, long before the witchcraft, he killed his own son Gongsun Jia on other charges, and his daughter married Gongsun He's son, so he had to kill his own daughter as well.
After that, let's talk about the love between husband and wife, when The Crown Prince Liu Zhu committed suicide, his mother Wei Zifu, that is, the empress, also committed suicide, and some other favored concubines died before him, and his sixth son's mother, Lady Hook Yi, was still very young at the time and was accompanying Emperor Wu of Han, but after Emperor Wu of Han made his sixth son crown prince, he was worried about the empress dowager's power, so he ordered the death of Lady Hook Yi. Years of conjugal feelings, in the eyes of Emperor Wu of Han, may not be worth mentioning at all, as long as it is possible to endanger his power, involving the stability of the country and mountains, or deal with it as soon as possible, even if it is his own pillow person, he can also have no scruples to give a fierce hand.
It can be seen from these things that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty is a person who is very weak in feelings, and in the face of power, feelings can be sacrificed. In order to keep his position from being violated, he still had to sacrifice something, after all, it was the most important thing to firmly grasp the power in his hands, and the most ruthless imperial family, perhaps this truth was said.
However, the political deeds of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty are always impossible to ignore, and perhaps, after abandoning all feelings, we can work hard to get the best. For one thing, when invested in the past, everything else is less important. It is precisely because of the hard-won nature of this Jiangshan that Emperor Wudi of Han attaches so much importance to it, and we are just commoners, and it is difficult to really guess the mind of the imperial family. And they have also become an indelible mark in the long river of history.
