During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, Chao Que was a member of the Crown Prince's Mansion, and after Emperor Jing of Han ascended the throne, he was reused by Emperor Jing of Han and promoted to the post of Neishi and Yushi Dafu.
Chao Que was a very talented man, and he was deeply respected by the Han Jing Emperor, and in order to maintain the imperial power of the Han Jing Emperor, he proposed to the Han Jing Emperor to cut the domain.
Chao's father, after learning of this situation, said: "Liu Shi is safe, and Chao Shi is in danger, I will go to the gong to return to the house!" "The Liu family's Jiangshan is safe, but their Chao family is dangerous, he knows that he will not be able to escape death, so he committed suicide by taking medicine, and the wrong father's vision is not far away."
After Chao mistakenly proposed to cut the domain, because the Han Jing Emperor also felt that the tail of the king of the domain was too big to fall, threatening himself, he also had the intention of cutting the domain.
After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he began to divide the world, but before he died, several "kings with different surnames" he divided, such as Yingbu the King of Huainan, Zang Di the King of Yan, Wang Xin of Han, Peng Yue the King of Liang, Lu Xie the King of Yan, etc., rebelled one after another, and Liu Bang led his troops to pacify them. To this end, he also left behind the ancestral precept of "no merit, no marquis, no king with different surnames".
Kings with different surnames are unreliable, and kings with the same surname are sometimes unreliable. There are no relatives under the imperial power, and the king of the same surname may also rebel for the throne. During the han jing emperor period, because of the Wu king Liu Hao and other feudal kings, because there were rich copper resources and sea salt resources in the country, he could mint money and boil salt in large quantities, which made the wealth of Liu Hao, the king of Wu, even exceed the Han Jing Emperor. After having money, Liu Hao, the king of Wu, began to recruit troops and expand his power, etc., in preparation for the seizure of the world. The greater Liu Hao's power and strength, the more difficult it was for Emperor Jing of Han to sleep.
If it is dragged out, the strength of the Wu king Liu Hao and other feudal kings will continue to increase, and the strength of the Han Jing Emperor will be weakened in disguise. At that time, Liu Tao and other feudal kings may become great princely states such as Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, and the Han Jing Emperor may be reduced to the powerless Zhou Tianzi, and the princes of the world will not obey his orders, and even rebel and seize the throne. Emperor Jingdi of Han did not want to see this happen, so he needed to cut the domain, but if the king of the domain did not make a mistake, Emperor Jingdi of Han could not punish them at will.
Chao mistakenly came up with a bad idea for Emperor Jing of Han, that is, to force the king of the clan to rebel, and Chao mistakenly asked the Han Jing Emperor to reduce the fiefdom of the king of the clan and reclaim the side counties, etc., so that the interests of the king of the clan were damaged. At this time, the king of the clan either accepted the cutting of the domain or rebelled, but they would give the Han Jing Emperor an excuse to cut the domain.
Emperor Jingdi of Han's slashing of the domain harmed the interests of the kings of the world and caused their dissatisfaction, and Liu Tao, the king of Wu, joined forces with Liu Peng, the king of Chu, Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, and other feudal kings to rebel on the grounds of "the side of the Qing emperor and the mistake of the Emperor". Because Emperor Jingdi of Han's policy of cutting down the domain moved the interests of all the clan kings in the world, even if there was no rebellion, the clan king was also waiting and watching, and even if necessary, he would join Liu Hao's camp and rebel.
This left the Han Jing Emperor embattled, and the country and mountains were in jeopardy. In order to quell the civil unrest and appease the kings of the world, Emperor Jing of Han killed Chao.
Chao Que was a hero of the Great Han, and he proposed to cut the domain, but also for the sake of the Han Jing Emperor, he himself was not wrong, but the Han Jing Emperor had to kill Chao Que for his own Jiangshan. First of all, after Emperor Jing of Han killed Chao, the reason for the rebellion of Liu Hao, the king of Wu, was "qing jun's side and chao's mistake" was untenable, and if they continued to raise troops, they would become a rebellion, and they would lose the support of the people of the world, which was not conducive to Liu Hao and others.
Secondly, in addition to the seven kings such as Liu Hao, who had already rebelled, the other clan kings, because their own interests were damaged, were also watching, and some clan kings were also eager to move, waiting for an opportunity to rebel. Emperor Jingdi of Han killed Chao And promised the king of the world not to cut the clan again, mainly to appease the king of the clan who had not yet rebelled, otherwise, there might be other clan kings who chose to rebel, which was even more unfavorable to the Han Jing Emperor.
After Liu Hao and others rebelled, even if Emperor Jingdi of Han promised not to cut the domain anymore, they were also arrows on the string, had to be sent, there was no way to retreat, they could only rebel, but the other kings of the clan, even if they had the intention of rebellion, but the Han Jing Emperor no longer cut the domain, their interests were preserved, so there was no need to rebel. After Liu Hao became emperor, in order to avoid the appearance of another "Liu Hao", he may also cut the domain, so there is great uncertainty in the interests of the king of the domain. Therefore, they tend to maintain the status quo and do not want Liu Hao to win.
After Liu Hao and seven other clan kings rebelled, in order to seize the world, they also attacked the fiefdoms of other clan kings, which made the other clan kings not only dislike Liu Hao and other clan kings, but also turned to the side of Emperor Han Jing, helping Emperor Han Jing to deal with Liu Hao and other clan kings, especially Liu Wu the King of Liang, who made an important contribution to the Han Jing Emperor's pacification of the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, which made Emperor Han Jing emperor only take 3 months to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kings.
It can be seen that the Han Jing Emperor's mistake in killing Chao was not his stupidity or his dementia in a panic, but to appease the king of the clan who had not yet rebelled. If he did not appease the other clan kings in time, let them stand idly by, or secretly help Liu Hao, The Han Jing Emperor would face greater trouble. If other clan kings also chose to rebel, Emperor Jing of Han might become the "Jianwen Emperor" of the Han Dynasty, so he needed to kill Chao.
