The Chinese nation has been up and down for 5,000 years, with rivers and mountains, heroes, and countless stunning imperial generals, and Liu Che, the emperor of Hanwu, will be on the list, which can be described as "the first emperor of the ages".

Liu Che reigned for 54 years and made outstanding contributions to the country's politics, economy, military, people's livelihood, culture and diplomacy. Attacking the Xiongnu in the north, expanding the territory in the west, conquering Korea in the east, and seeking Fujian and Vietnam in the south, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions and opened up the Silk Road, making countless achievements and benefiting the people. And it is such a great character, but it is the other extreme to treat women.

Ancient emperors were mostly thin in terms of feelings, and Emperor Wudi of Han treated his own women as "thin and widow"! Liu Che once said bluntly to his attendant: "You can go three days without food, but you can't go without a woman for a day." And this sentence does not mean that he is infatuated, but in his heart, women are only used to relieve boredom.
There is often such a line in court dramas: "Three thousand beautiful harems, seven concubines in three palaces and six courtyards", to illustrate the countless emperor women. And the beautiful harem of Emperor Wudi of Han Wu Liu Che is more than 18,000 people! What is the concept of this number, Liu Che has been in power for 54 years, and it takes a full 50 years to spoil one every day, "changing brides every day, being a groom night and night", which is probably such a situation.

Throughout the life of Emperor Wudi of Han, none of the women he "favored" had a good end, and even said that they were very cruel. Presumably, everyone knows the idiom "Jinwu Zangjiao", and the "Jiao" hidden by Jinwu refers to Liu Che's first empress, Chen Ajiao.
Ye Shi's "Han Wu Story" records that Liu Che was very young, and his aunt asked: "Do you want to marry a daughter-in-law?" "Think." Pointing to her daughter Chen Ajiao (that is, Empress Chen), she said, "Is it good to marry Gillian then?" Liu Che replied, "Okay! If Gillian marries me, I'll build a house of gold and hide her inside!" "This is also the origin of Kanaya Zangjiao. It's a pity that after Empress Chen married Liu Che, she couldn't see each other all year round, let alone leave a son and a half daughter, and finally because of love and hatred, she practiced this crooked and evil trick of witchcraft, and was abolished as empress, and she lived alone in the Nagato Palace, and ended up depressed!

Emperor Wudi of Han had countless women, the most famous of which was Wei Zifu. Wei Zifu came from a humble background, but was actually a song girl in the Pingyang Houfu, and Princess Pingyang followed her aunt Princess Guantao and chose a daughter to offer the Son of Heaven.
Between the banquets that day, Liu Che spoiled Wei Zifu in the car changing clothes, and Liu Che was very happy when he returned to the banquet, and immediately rewarded Princess Pingyang with thousands of gold, and then brought Wei Zifu into the palace, and then forgot such a woman No. 1, after a year, Wei Zifu's small means were once again favored, which shows his attitude towards women. Wei Zifu was also "precious by mother" and enjoyed a long period of pampering. Later, because his son competed for the throne, he committed suicide with the intention of dying.

According to historical records, the woman most loved by Emperor Wudi of Han was Lady Li. Mrs. Li was born very beautiful, and the famous phrase "smile at the city, and then laugh at the country" refers to her. Mrs. Li "red face life thin", after Mrs. Li gave birth to the prince Liu Lu, soon disappeared and died, Emperor Hanwu was very sad, and ordered people to bury him with the gift of empress, which is also considered to be the few feelings of men and women in Emperor Hanwu.

Lady Hookyi, the biological mother of Emperor Liu Fuling of Han Zhao, the most favored woman of Emperor Wudi of Han in his later years, but also the most miserable empress dowager. Emperor Wudi of Han felt that his time was short, and Emperor Han Zhao was still young, and he was afraid that Lady Hookyi would follow Empress Lü's obedience, so he ordered her to be killed and buried with him, and the allusion to "Lizi killing his mother" is located here.

Like this kind of empress dowager, the queen's women are sad at night, and the others are even more miserable. Before Liu Che died, he moved all the concubines and palace maids he had survived out of the palace and let them live in the "Maoling", and since then they have been living with a deserted grave.
Emperor Wudi of Han is "merciless" for women, but according to the "History of Yu Xinglie", when Liu Che was still a prince, he especially liked a student companion - Han Yan, the two were intimate, often slept together, very "in love", after ascending the throne, they also treated Han Yan very caringly and lovingly, and finally provoked the empress dowager's dissatisfaction and killed him, for which Liu Che also had a conflict with the empress dowager, and almost had a palace change!

Emperor Wudi of Han's life is undoubtedly accomplished, "Feng Zen climbs the peak, long live the mountain", an emperor for thousands of years, it is well deserved. There is a poem "Qin Huang Han Wu", which compares it with Qin Shi Huang, which shows the influence. But his attitude towards women is also a big stain, worthy of one of the emperors with the most women in history!
