On the one hand, since the Battle of Mayi in 133 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had ended Gaozu's peace policy toward the Xiongnu, began to formally declare war on the Xiongnu, successively sent Wei Qing and Huo to conquer the Xiongnu, lifted the Xiongnu threat, recaptured the Hetao and Hexi Corridor areas, expanded the territory of the Western Regions, put the Xiongnu in a passive situation of subordination, and ensured the economic and cultural development of the north.
He established a nation of unprecedented dignity, he gave an ethnic group the confidence to stand tall, and his country name became the eternal name of a great nation. Emperor Wu of Han invented a political system in his later years, which provoked later emperors to imitate, and made the harem concubines both want their mothers to rely on their sons and daughters, but also fear that their sons would ascend the throne as emperors.
In his later years, Emperor Wu of Han killed too much and thought about repentance. Li Guangli's defeat of the Xiongnu was unfavorable, the whole army was destroyed, the quest for immortals was unsuccessful, and because of the scourge of witchcraft, the father and son were killed, the crown prince Liu Zhao, and the empress Wei Zifu committed suicide, all kinds of blows made Emperor Wu discouraged and lazy, and he was quite remorseful for what he had done in the past.
When it was necessary to establish the prince, he finally chose the younger son, and worried that after his death, the son would be controlled by his mother to interfere in the government, in order to prevent Lady Hook Ge from interfering in the government, Emperor Wu of Han came up with the principle of killing his mother, and finally killed Lady Hook Ge, which also became the first column in the dynasty at that time. In 88 BC, Emperor Wu of han asked the painter to draw a "Picture of the Princes of the Zhou Dynasty" and gave it to Huo Guang, meaning that Huo Guang would assist his younger son Liu Fuling as emperor.
Because of the system of killing mothers formulated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the kings of later generations have also followed suit. Later, the later Northern Wei also abided by this principle, whenever the emperor wanted to make a prince, the palace must be full of crying, although the birth mother of each prince hoped that her child could become the emperor, but this meant that the life of the prince's birth mother was coming to an end.
