In the history of China, there are not many people who can be called the Emperor of the Ancients, and some people say that emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, Wen Taowuluo, should be called "the emperor of the ages" In this regard, some people have put forward different views, they believe that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty is exhausted, and in his later years he fainted to the extreme, and he really should not be called the Emperor of the Ages, so to this day, the controversy about Emperor Wudi of han is still endless.
Among all the emperors of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wudi of Han is undoubtedly one of the longest reigning, he has been an emperor for a total of 54 years, in a profession with an average life expectancy of 39 years, Emperor Wudi of Han has been the emperor for more than 50 years, I have to say that he is indeed very powerful, but in his later years, Emperor Wudi of Han was too suspicious and did many things that were puzzling.
Li Yannian, a famous musician in the Western Han Dynasty, once wrote a poem praising his sister Lady Li: There are beautiful people in the north, unique and independent, one look at the city, and then take care of the country, rather than know the city and the country, it is difficult for the beautiful people to get again.
According to historical records, when Emperor Wudi of Han saw Lady Li, he was shocked to see her in a unique style, and emperor Wudi of Han immediately adopted her as his wife, and later, Lady Li gave birth to a son to Emperor Wu of Han, namely Liu Qi, the Prince of Changyi.
Today, the woman we want to talk about is also a concubine beloved by Emperor Wudi of Han, and what is puzzling is that Emperor Wudi of Han gave this concubine to death for no reason in his old age, and this woman is Lady Hook Ge.
Lady Hook Ge was born in Hejian and was a woman from a poor family, when Emperor Wu was hunting, passing by this place, he heard that there was a strange woman, born with clenched fists, emperor Wu saw it, when he gently broke the woman's hand, he saw that the woman had a small jade hook in her hand.
Emperor Wu of Han considered her to be a strange woman, and took her back to the palace and made her Lady Hook Ge.
After Lady Hook Ge entered the palace, Emperor Wudi of Han was not very fond of her, and later her pregnancy surprised Emperor Wu of Han, as we all know, women are pregnant in October, a birth, and Lady Hook Ge, is pregnant for 14 months, before giving birth to a son.
Emperor Wu of Han believed that this prince was a sign of great auspiciousness, and he said to his ministers: "Emperor Yao's mother gave birth to Yao at 14 months of pregnancy, and now that Lady Hook Ge has given birth to a prince, her son should be like Emperor Yao." ”
Because of this incident, Lady Hook Ge was also pitied by Emperor Wu of Han, and in the words of Bai Juyi later, Lady Hook Ge at this time can be described as a collection of three thousand favors in the harem.
In his later years, Emperor Wu of Han did a wrong thing, that is, he launched the scourge of wu, the scourge of wu, which caused empress Wei Zifu to commit suicide, and the crown prince Liu Zhu was also forced to commit suicide, when Emperor Wu of Han was sober, this matter had become a foregone conclusion, and for this reason, he was very bitter.
The Jiangshan of the Han Dynasty was to be passed down after all, and there were only four princes who could succeed to the throne at that time, namely Liu Dan the King of Yan, Liu Xu the King of Guangling, Liu Qi the Prince of Changyi, and Liu Fuling, the son of Lady Hook Ge.
Among these four people, Emperor Wu of Han finally selected Liu Fuling, who was only 8 years old at the time.
Before choosing Liu Fuling as crown prince, Emperor Wu of Han made a big thing, he gave Liu Fuling's mother Lady Hook Ge to death, and at that time Lady Hook Ge did not do anything to disturb the imperial program, so why did Emperor Wu of Han leave her behind?
Later historians have given a very apt explanation: the prince is young, lest the heroine hang the curtain and harm the country.
In our words today, Emperor Wudi of Han was afraid that after Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne, the real power would be in the hands of Lady Hook Ge, and Lü Yan at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty was a vivid example, and because of this concern, Emperor Wu of Han gave Death lady Hook Ge.
This is the tragedy of the ancient imperial family, for Liu Fuling, it is a good thing, but also a bad thing, the good thing is that he can be the emperor, the bad thing is that he lost his mother forever.
Lady Hook Ge is worthy of being a strange woman, after her death, the body is not incorruptible and very fragrant, after burying her, Emperor Wu of Han had some regrets and sent someone to her mausoleum to check, but found that her body was no longer here, leaving only a pair of shoes.
A few days later, Emperor Wu of Han died, and Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne, historically known as Emperor Zhao of Han.
