The great achievements of the Qin king Han Wufeng are very much agreed with by posterity, but the way Han Wudi handled the surrendered soldiers was questioned, this Han Wu emperor often treated prisoners far more than his own people, many people expressed their incomprehension, obviously this soldier of his own country worked the battlefield, when he went out on the battlefield, he did not think of being able to return safely, not to mention that the families of those soldiers who died on the battlefield were not well handled, but they attached great importance to the Surrendered Xiongnu. Even the treatment that belonged to the families of those soldiers was used to treat the Xiongnu, and the voices of opposition and doubts rose one after another, and the words of Emperor Wudi of Han could not be refuted.
It was precisely by virtue of his daring style that Ji Dian became a controversial minister during the Han Wu Emperor's period, some people thought that he had no respect for Han Wu Emperor, and some people thought that he was bold and was an upright minister. There was nothing he did not dare to say in this dark mouth, and he did not lose his arrogance in dealing with the magnates. As the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of Han, the great general Wei Qing was the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of Han, who was not afraid to say inappropriate things at all, and directly pointed out where he was inappropriate. In fact, this Wei Qing is also a person who understands the truth, and naturally knows that Ji Dian is also for his sake, and naturally will not hold a grudge in his heart.
No matter what kind of people they faced, they could point out their shortcomings without any concern, and there were very few ministers in the court who had not been accused by him, and in the face of this kind of persuasion, Emperor Wudi of Han always smiled and agreed to him, and did not argue with him. Emperor Wudi of Han was not very restrained by traditional rules and regulations most of the time, and repeatedly asked Wei Qing to report to him on the war situation in the army when he went to the toilet, but Emperor Wudi of Han did not dare to pay attention to his own etiquette when talking with Ji Dian. The reason why Emperor Wudi of Han respected this old minister was because the old minister's personality was very bold, and he did not hide anything to say, and dared to directly point out where Emperor Wudi of Han was not doing well enough.
Wei Qing and Huo went to the North To attack the Xiongnu, beating the Xiongnu to submission, and after quelling the Xiongnu problem, the Xiongnu wanted to get the same treatment as the Han Dynasty people. Emperor Wu of Han was a relatively good-looking man, and at the ceremony of accepting the submission of the Huns to the Han, he sent tens of thousands of carriages to march together. However, at this time, the Han Dynasty did not have so many horses, so it had to borrow horses from the common people and install them into carriages. But the common people heard that it was used to greet the Huns, and naturally they were very reluctant. One after another hid the horses in his home, and Emperor Wudi of Han was very annoyed to see that the horses could not be requisitioned, so he wanted to dispose of the county officials in the requisitioned area. At this time, Ji Dian came to Emperor Wu of Han and said, "If you kill the county official, you still won't be able to get a horse, and if you kill me, you will have a horse."
The Huns were really powerless to wage war in the face of Huo's conquests, and huo's policies were implemented to rob all the cattle, sheep, and grain from the Xiongnu areas they visited, and then the Xiongnu could not survive at all. At the time of surrendering to the Han Dynasty, in addition to wanting the status of the people of the Han Dynasty, he also wanted to be able to do business in the Han Dynasty region, and Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty agreed to the demands of the Xiongnu as much as possible. During the Han Dynasty, it was originally to attach importance to agriculture and ignore commerce, not to mention letting this Xiongnu do business in the Han Dynasty, as soon as he heard these demands, Ji Dian directly broke into the imperial palace to find this Theory of Emperor Wu of Han. "How many things this Xiongnu did to hurt the Hanzi people, and how many of the Han generals died on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition xiongnu, and now you are giving the Xiongnu such generous treatment, which clearly makes the people of the Hanzi people feel cold." After Emperor Wudi of Han was questioned by Ji Di, he knew that he was wrong and remained silent.
Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty even divided the Xiongnu leaders who surrendered, but instead let them live a better life, and some Xiongnu people obtained more generous titles than the founding heroes. The treatment that the Huns did not get when they invaded the Han Dynasty was easily obtained after surrendering, which was inevitably surprising. The Huns who were rewarded naturally intensified, either secretly fleeing back to the Xiongnu region or revolting in the local area. Emperor Wu of Han's benevolent policy toward the Xiongnu only fueled his arrogance. As the saying goes, to be too kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, and it is clear that the story of the farmer and the snake was staged again between the Xiongnu and the Han Wu emperor.
