Liu Zhao, the Crown Prince of Jian, was completely different from his father Emperor Wu of Han. Although Emperor Wu of han was heroic and ambitious, he was arrogant and arrogant, and he was flamboyant and high-profile. However, emperor Wu of Han, who was full of ambition, was very attentive to Liu Zhao.
Because at the age of twenty-nine, Emperor Wu of Han and Empress Wei Zifu gave birth to the crown prince Liu Zhao. Liu Zhi was the only son born to the empress, and Empress Wei was Liu Che's favorite woman, so Liu Che loved this son very much, and when he was seven years old, he was made a "prince".
Different from Emperor Wu, he is talented and has a generous personality
In order to cultivate his future successor, Emperor Wudi of han could be said to have good intentions in choosing a prince teacher. Carefully selected the then zhongxiao famous Men Shishi as the prince's teacher, and concentrated on tutoring the prince to learn the way of loyalty and filial piety. After that, yan Qingzhai, Zhao Zhou, Zhou Jiande (Zhou Bo's grandson) and others were appointed as the prince's teachers. Under the influence of these great Confucian sages, the prince gradually became a young man who was deeply loyal and filial, honest and loyal, and talented.
When Crown Prince Liu grew up, he had a gentle and benevolent personality and was lenient with others. Even Emperor Wu of Han felt that the prince did not look like himself.
Time is a merciless knife. Because Wei Zifu slowly became old and yellow, Emperor Wu of Han began to alienate Empress Wei, and the relationship between the emperor, the empress, and the crown prince became delicate.
Once, Emperor Wu of Han summoned Wei Qing to discuss political affairs, and on the occasion of his parting, he said to Wei Qing, "I often use soldiers to fight now, which has indeed increased the burden on the people and is not conducive to the stability of the world." However, I was also forced to be helpless, the world was just decided, the system was created, and I could only rely on tough means to push the executive order, so that the prince could sit firmly in the world after he ascended the throne. Now that the prince is kind in nature, he will inevitably be supported by the common people, and judging from the experience of supervising the country and administering the government several times, the prince is really the most suitable candidate, and he bothered Wei Aiqing to bring these words to the empress for me. ”
Although the relationship between Emperor Wu, Wei Zifu, and Crown Prince Liu Zhao became indifferent, Emperor Wu was well aware of the prince's benevolent character.
If Liu Zhao ascends the throne, there is a possibility that the world will be unstable
Many people will think that if the crown prince Liu Zhongzhong is loyal and filial piety, if he ascends the throne, will there be another prosperous era in the Han Dynasty?
We might as well look at this issue from a different perspective. Looking at the later Han Zhao Emperor Liu Fuling may be useful for understanding this matter.
After Liu Fuling was made crown prince, the first thing Emperor Wu of Han did was to kill Liu Fuling's birth mother, Lady Hook Yi. In the view of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Fuling was too young, and after he ascended the throne, the situation of "the lord is weak and the mother is strong" will lead to foreign relatives interfering in politics, and there may be a situation in which Lü Yan has monopoly power and Zhu Lü is in turmoil.
Speaking of Liu Zhao, Emperor Wu of Han was domineering and shrewd, and he was deeply aware of the forces behind the crown prince Liu Zhao, and the existence of the Wei Qing family and the Huo Zhiyi family was like two trees with thick shade. If Liu Zhao became emperor, it was entirely possible that the government would fall into the hands of others.
Even if the Wei Qing family would not usurp the power of their own nephews in the future, once they were large, it would be enough for Liu Zhao to drink a pot.
And the Huo family was at the bottom with its battle achievements and had to defend. Emperor Wu of Han remembered the killing of Li Guang's son Li Gan by Huo. At that time, Wei Qing and the fei general Li Guang sent troops together to attack the Xiongnu, because Li Guang led the partial division to take a small road, lost in the process of marching, and after being questioned by Wei Qing, Li Guang killed himself. Li Guang's son Li Dang had always been very dissatisfied with this matter, and once at the end of the imperial meeting, Li Dare beat Wei Qing in anger, and Wei Qing felt ashamed that Li Guang had not pursued this matter. But later, Emperor Wu of Han led Huo Toyi and Li Dare out hunting, and Huo Wentyi, in order to take out the gas for Wei Qing, actually shot Li Gan with an arrow during the hunt.
Although Huo had died of illness at that time, Emperor Wu of Han was really uneasy about the Huo family's power. If the crown prince Liu Zhao ascended the throne, the Huo family was very likely to become a hidden danger in Liu Zhao's politics.
According to Liu's ascension to the throne, it is unlikely that there will be a "struggle for power among auxiliary ministers" in the early days of Liu Fuling's reign
After Liu Fuling ascended the throne, the Han Dynasty once staged a thrilling scene, that is, the chaotic government situation of Shangguan Jie, Sang Hongyang and other orphan ministers, and the Western Han Dynasty building showed signs of collapse.
If Liu Zhao ascended the throne, the chances of the auxiliary ministers fighting for power were not high. Crown Prince Liu Zhao's political team was relatively strong, and the Wei Qing clan and the Huo Quyi clan were gaining momentum.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Wei family and the Huo family were families that were able to die well. They shed blood and sacrificed for the foundation of the Western Han Dynasty and made great military achievements. If Crown Prince Liu had used foreign relatives, the stable situation since Emperor Wu of Han was likely to continue for quite some time.
When Liu Was young, Emperor Wu of Han once specially built the "Bowang Garden" for him, allowing him to make friends and take in famous people from all over the world and make a good talent reserve. Compared with Liu Fuling, Liu Zhao's talent reserve is relatively sufficient.
History is full of regrets, and history cannot be assumed. Although Prince Liu Was generous and generous, the scourge of deception occurred, and his mother's defender husband, wife, and son were all destroyed in a huge conspiracy.
In the Zizhi Tongjian, Sima Guang couldn't help but sigh at Liu Zhao: "
Husbands are honest and difficult to kiss, and it is easy to be easy to agree, this is the common sentiment of people in the solid, and it is advisable for the prince to not end up!
”
Without the scourge of deception, Liu Chu, the son of Emperor Wu of Han and Lady Wei, would become emperor, and the Western Han Dynasty would have been more powerful.
