The most domineering emperor in history, reigned for 54 years, fought for 43 years, and built a great country
In ancient times, the most envied person was the emperor, after all, in ancient times, the emperor, as the supreme ruler, had the supreme power of the ninety-five. There are also many emperors in history, some are a generation of Ming Emperors, some are Emperors of the Dark Dynasty; some emperors have worked hard to lay down the country by winning wars, and some have inherited the imperial throne, and not all emperors are very successful.
And speaking of the Emperor of the Ages, I don't know who everyone thinks of first? Some people will say that it is Qin Shi Huang, after all, he unified the six kingdoms for the first time and opened up the first unified centralized country. But in fact, there is another emperor who can also be called the Emperor of the Ages, because 43 of the 54 years of his reign were spent in war.
This emperor was Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and just like his title, Liu Che was indeed very good at "wu". Liu Che reigned for more than 50 years from the age of sixteen, and before he came to power, the Han Dynasty had already established a foothold in the Central Plains, but why were there so many wars? Two-thirds of Emperor Wudi of Han's reign was spent in the southern conquest of the Northern War, and all this was inseparable from the geographical location of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, there were always some small countries in the surrounding area that were eyeing the Han Dynasty, with Minyue in the south and Xiongnu in the north. Although Emperor Wu of Han did not actually have the idea of invading them, these small states themselves were restless. Emperor Wu of Han was also worried that these small countries would unite to threaten the rule of the Han Dynasty, so after he ascended to the throne, he planned to enlist these neighbors to solve his own troubles.
Liu Che arranged for Huo to go ill and Wei Qing to lead the army out to fight with them, while he himself led the country's elite troops to fight all the way. In the war, it was natural to defeat the Xiongnu and recover a large area of territory. The people at the border pass could finally live in peace without being invaded by the Xiongnu. And this can also be said to be Liu Che's peak moment.
Liu Che is known as the most domineering emperor in history, in addition to winning the war, but also admirable is his success in governance. Liu Che can be said to have made great contributions to the country's government. But even so, everyone has a place to make mistakes, Liu Che was used by people with hearts in his later years, resulting in a miasma of black smoke in the country, and even Liu Che lost his own son.
The occurrence of the "WitchCraft Case" involved many court ministers, and the people were also suffering because of this matter. After this incident, Liu Che was very remorseful in his heart, and even burned incense to worship the Buddha in the hope that this matter would be calmed down as soon as possible. After the storm passed, Liu Che began to reflect on himself, examine his mistakes head-on, and also carried out sacrifices on Mount Tai.
Liu Che told the people of the world about his mistakes and mistakes on Mount Tai, and also learned the lessons learned from them. For himself, he also taught that many emperors in history were few people who could reflect on themselves, and even some emperors had difficulty correctly dealing with the shortcomings pointed out by others, so it was really rare for Liu Che to be able to do so. Therefore, Liu Che can be said to be a "generation of Ming Jun" in the true sense.
