"Whoever is roughly heroic and talented is comparable, respect Confucianism and the Law and gather heroes."

In the first ten years, the Xiongnu outside, the internal determination of the dynasty, and the superb ability to govern the country were not the whole reason why the life of emperor Wudi of Han was tending to the extreme, but more of the reason why Han Wudi had the wisdom and talent and recruited talents.

In his imperial court, Wu had Wei Qing, Huo Went ill to control The Outer Annei, and Wen You Sang Hongyang was in charge of the finances, and it can be said that every minister was very capable. However, among these ministers, as one of the historical merits of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the proposer of the "Tui En Ling", in order to consolidate the Great Han Dynasty, the main father who made great contributions was undoubtedly the most dazzling one, and at the same time, he was also the one with the most tragic fate.

Why did the wise Emperor Wu of Han, who had made great contributions to his father, cut him off all over the door? What happened was to push the princes, the centralization of power was flat, and the perverse acts of self-inflicted sins could not live

Unlike the ending of Wei Qing and others, the main father who made great achievements ended up being cut off by the door. This can't help but make people feel puzzling, what is the big thing that can make a first-class man fall from the peak of his life to the bottom and fall to pieces?

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the princes of Tuien, centralized</h1> power

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, while the whole country implemented the county system, there was also a feudal system, which was called the "parallel system of counties and states" in history. In order to consolidate his own political power, Liu Bang made up his mind and eliminated his own princes with different surnames, such as Han Xin and Yingbu, and at the same time named a large number of Liu Clan's relatives as "kings with the same surname". These kings of the same surname have great power, their political power is almost the same as that of the central government, and over time, they pose a great threat to the central government.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after the weakening policies of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, the power of the princely states was still huge, and in the face of this situation, Liu Che, who wanted to create a great cause, was determined to solve this big problem and strengthen the centralization of power.

At this time, the main father of the princely states who was ostracized and suppressed by the Confucian scholars at that time because of their insistence on the "art of vertical and horizontal", which was different from the Confucian scholars at that time, appeared in front of Emperor Wu of Han.

"Now the sons of the princes or a dozen, and the right heirs to stand on their behalf, although the remainder of flesh and bones, the land of no size, then the way of benevolence and filial piety is not proclaimed." May Your Majesty order the princes to divide their sons and daughters, and to do so. He who is pleased with what he wishes, who is virtuous, divides his country, and does not cut but is slightly weak. ”

Thanksgiving to the princes, this is the best solution that the Lord Father came up with after summarizing the "Rebellion of the Seven Kings".

When the princes and princes received the land, they were bound to be grateful to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and they would not have the idea of rebelling against the central authorities; after the land was divided, the princely states had been divided into pieces, and there was no power to gather people to resist at all, and they could no longer pose a threat to the central government.

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han was overjoyed and thought that this plan was very good, so he quickly issued a decree of tutelage to the princely states, and the result was indeed not what the lord father expected.

The great problem of the princely states has been satisfactorily solved, and the life of the lord father is about to begin.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > flat and retrograde</h1>

After four moves in a row, after proposing the Tuien Order and succeeding, the main father did not stagnate, but constantly gave advice to Emperor Wu of Han, and repeatedly made great achievements in strengthening the centralization of power, and became more and more deeply appreciated by Emperor Wu of Han.

But it is regrettable that the successive promotions of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty were not exchanged for more good strategies for the main father. With the increasing prosperity of his grace and the rise of his status, the lord father began to "drift", not only acting wildly, but also receiving all the bribes from the ministers, and the friends around him persuaded him day and night, saying that he had acted excessively and was not very good.

It may be that the painful psychology of being excluded is the cause, the main father did not listen to it at all, still going his own way, for him is not pleasing to the eye, or offended his people, he is crazy revenge, and it is this revenge psychology that indirectly brings the disaster of killing the master father.

He heard that Liu Dingguo, the King of Yan, had an affair with his own father's concubine, and had also robbed his brother's wife and secretly killed a magistrate, and that his father could not sit still, and he felt that he could take this opportunity to destroy the State of Yan and make a contribution. Therefore, he immediately informed Emperor Wu of Han about this matter.

The King of Yan, knowing that his crimes and infidelities had been exposed, panicked and committed suicide, and then, as expected by his father, the State of Yan was deposed. At this time, the master father, who was overwhelmed by the victory, did not realize that he was playing with fire by doing so.

In the second year of Yuan Shuo, the main father intended to marry his daughter to the King of Qi, but he did not expect to be strongly opposed by Empress Ji, the mother of the King of Qi at that time, because the King of Qi already had a queen, and this queen was still Empress Ji's niece.

But the Lord Father doesn't care so much, and if you dare to reject me, then be prepared to bear my heinous wrath! At this time, the people just broke out the scandal of incest between King Qi and his sister, and the main father hastily investigated it and reported it to Emperor Wu of Han.

At this time, the King of Qi was well aware of his ugly deeds, and he also knew the fate of the Previous King of Yan, and in fear, he also committed suicide. At this point, the Lord's Father can be regarded as a violation of the wrath of the princes.

King Zhao chose to file a complaint first, emperor Wudi of Han was furious, and his father was arrested and imprisoned, and soon after, under the vigorous operation of his former political enemies, the entire clan of emperor Wu of Han was slaughtered by emperor Wu of Han.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > self-inflicted sins cannot be lived</h1>

Being able to put forward the edict of Tui En, being appreciated by Emperor Wu of Han, and successively promoted to the rank of Zhongdafu, I have to say that the ability of the main father is very strong, but the anger of the people is difficult to offend, and his style of behavior has long been doomed to his tragic end.

Why did the wise Emperor Wu of Han, who had made great contributions to his father, cut him off all over the door? What happened was to push the princes, the centralization of power was flat, and the perverse acts of self-inflicted sins could not live

From the trough of life to the peak of life, the huge gap generated in it is enough to make people go astray, and the main father is poor and suddenly rich, lowly and expensive, and acts wildly for a while, which is also barely understandable. But when he exposed people's infidelity and forced his clan relatives to die, he was indeed seeking his own death.

The King of Yan and the King of Qi died successively because of him, and while the lord father exposed the selfish affairs of the princes, he was also frantically tempting on the verge of death, and poor him was still complacent and did not know it.

Everyone said, "Leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future", but unfortunately, the lord father did not understand this truth at all, and finally acted perversely, and ended up with the slaughter of the whole family, which was also his own fault.
