In the ancient history of China, there were many emperors who ruled the country well, and these emperors were often shrewd, and created or innovated the ancient political system, and were remembered by posterity, and even called the emperor of the ages.
There was such an emperor, who was known by many as the "Emperor of the Ages", but this person killed the entire family of the loyal subjects in the later period of his reign, and even his own son was forced to commit suicide.
As we all know, since the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che ascended the throne at the age of 16, he has made achievements in almost all fields of the Han Dynasty, and has comprehensively improved economically, culturally, and ideologically, and created a situation of "Han Wu flourishing", and many descendants also admire the Emperor of Han Wu.
However, in the later period of Emperor Wu of Han's reign, he began to be arrogant and arrogant, and even created the "Scourge of Witchcraft", killing Wei Qing's descendants, and even his own son was forced to commit suicide.
Wei Qing was a great general of the Western Han Dynasty, with great military achievements, and his family also became powerful because of Wei Qing's fame, but after Wei Qing's death, Wei Qing's family suffered a tragic fate.
In 91 BC, the son of Gongsun He was denounced, some people said that he cursed Emperor Wu of Han with poison behind his back, and also said that he had committed adultery with Princess Yangshi, emperor Wu of Han had been inflated by anger, delirious, and killed tens of thousands of people without careful investigation, and even Wei Qing's descendants were also affected by this incident, and almost the whole family was not spared.
Not only that, the traitor Jiang Chong also took the opportunity to frame the prince, saying that the prince was also cursing Emperor Wu of Han with poison behind his back, so the prince decided to first kill Jiang Chong, who was beside Emperor Wu of Han and deceived the public, and after Jiang Chong was killed, it was transmitted to the ears of Emperor Wu of Han and the words "the prince rebelled".
Emperor Wu of Han was furious, and the crown prince, who had no way to retreat, eventually committed suicide with Empress Wei Zifu, and it was not until after the two committed suicide that Emperor Wu of Han's mind cleared up. Emperor Wudi of Han eventually regretted it and built a "Si Womb", but the angry Emperor Wudi of Han began to kill the people who framed the prince in order to retaliate.
It has to be said that Most of Emperor Wudi of Han's life has been conscientious and hard for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, but in his later years, Emperor Wudi of Han became a person who could not control his emotions, and the scourge of witchcraft led to the killing of a large number of upper-class figures in the Western Han Dynasty, and the foundation of the Western Han Dynasty was shaken, which also became a turning point in the decline of the Western Han Dynasty.
