The Qin Emperor Han Wu were two insurmountable mountains in ancient China's foreign conquests, but even if he was as tough as the Han Wudi Emperor Liu Che, he had to look at Wei Qing's face and let Wei Zifu, who was no longer favored, continue to sit on the back seat.
Where is Wei Qing's strength? What made Emperor Wu of Han so jealous?
First, Wei Qing has an unparalleled position in the military. Speaking of generals, ancient China was afraid that the Han and Tang dynasties were the most prosperous, and among the generals of the Great Han, the double wall of the empire- Wei Qing and Huo Went ill, they were definitely among the best, and it was they who single-handedly crippled the invincible Xiongnu, so that Chen Tang in later generations could proudly shout out the sentence "Although those who commit crimes against the strong Han will be punished from afar." "The reason why Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was able to be on a par with Qin Shi Huang was mainly based on his amazing battle record against the Xiongnu, and most of the victories against the Xiongnu were fought by Wei Qing and Huo.
Wei Qing's seven conquests of the Xiongnu, no defeat, resulting in his unparalleled prestige in the army, in the honeymoon period of the relationship between Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing, Emperor Wu of Han sealed Wei Qing's food yi more than 10,000, to know that the entire Han Dynasty was more than 30 million people at that time, what is even more eye-catching, is that Wei Qing's three sons were all knighted, to know that "Li Guang is difficult to seal", the world-renowned flying general Li Guang, has never found a throne in his life, wei Qing's son easily got it. At the same time, Wei Qing was also the highest title of two military generals of the Great Sima General. With such a high status, and if you win a battle and attack you must conquer, Wei Qing's military status will certainly not be low. It can be said that the reason why Wei Qing had such a position in the army was that Emperor Wu of Han had to be jealous.
The idea of balancing the position of Wei Qing's army, of course, the shrewd Emperor Wudi of Han thought, that is, to balance Wei Qing's forces with another military genius, Huo Qi. Liu Che sealed a lot of military achievements, and Huo Fuyi, who had sealed the wolf Juxu, was made a great general of the Great Sima Horse and a champion Hou, in an attempt to divide Wei Qing's power, but he did not expect that Huo Qi's illness would die of illness at a young age, and Wei Qing's position in the army was still unparalleled.
Second, Wei Qing's personality. If Huo Fu's illness is like fire, revealing the sharp edge everywhere; then Wei Qing is like water, like a raging wave on the battlefield, which can crush all enemies, and on the court is like the sea, which can accommodate everything.
Li dared to think that Wei Qing had forced his father Li Guang to die, and gave Wei Qing a punch at the gate of the General's Mansion, wei Qing did not care much about this, only that he fell on horseback, but it was his nephew Huo who felt strange - how could the riding skills of his uncle who was born as a slave be so unbearable? Knowing that it was Li Gan who did it, he secretly plotted to shoot Li Gan.
Ma Qian, a Taishi company that is close to Li Guang's family and has never liked Wei Qinghuo to go to illness, can write many reasons when he writes about Wei Qinghuo to go to illness, and when he writes About Wei Qing, he can only say that he relies on nepotism to ascend to power and is born from a humble background.
However, it was precisely because of his humble origins that Wei Qing knew more about human feelings, handled interpersonal relations cautiously, and had no political enemies in the imperial court, which was completely different from military geniuses and political idiots like Han Xin.

Iii. The wonderful relationship between Wei Qing and Emperor Wu of Han. The relationship between Wei Qing and Emperor Wu of Han was very wonderful, there was a "honeymoon period" between them, during this period, Emperor Wu of Han would like to be able to give all that could be rewarded to the generals to Wei Qing, Wei Qing also killed thieves such as soil to return to Emperor Wu of Han, perhaps Emperor Wu of Han also had a killing heart for Wei Qing, but he saw a series of titles of Wei Qing, and perhaps he would also think of the close cooperation between the two of them, you unconditionally supported me to attack the Xiongnu in the north, I will definitely bring you back a great victory!
However, Wei Qing's greatest capital was that he was the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of Han — he married Princess Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of Han, and was close to Emperor Wu of Han. With such a kinship relationship, as well as his popularity in the court and prestige in the army, Wei Qing was enough to become the person who could influence the thoughts of Emperor Wu of Han, that is, even if Emperor Wu of Han had the intention of abolishing, he would inevitably be opposed by Princess Pingyang and Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty, which would not only be difficult to succeed after the abolition, but also lead to a great reduction in the prestige of the emperor.
Another point is that Emperor Wu of Han has always felt ashamed of Wei Qing because of Huo's illness. When emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing's "honeymoon period" passed, Emperor Wu of Han had always wanted to suppress Wei Qing's position in the army, so he supported Huo to get sick, and the young marquis was given the title of military general of the Great Sima Horse, and the food was even more than Wei Qing. At the same time, Emperor Wu of Han also said that he had more opportunities to give Huo to go ill, let Wei Qing use his fame to attract the main force of the enemy army to Huo Toyi, and at the same time let Huo Goyi select the most elite soldiers before the war, giving Huo The opportunity to give the Xiongnu a fatal blow. For these things, it is impossible for a shrewd person like Wei Qing not to know, but he is still willing to sacrifice some of his own merits for the sake of his nephew's work. In fact, although Huo Fuyi has no less than Wei Qing's military genius, he is not as poor as Wei Qing, this kind of general can rule the army, but if he sits in Wei Qing's position, perhaps he and the fainting late Han Wudi may have a mars collision with the earth, his early death is a historical regret, but it may also be the luck of the Han Dynasty.
But Emperor Wu of Han's wishful thinking failed, Huo Fuyi was just a young man with a heavy heart, he only knew that his uncles were strong, and his uncles were good to him, so he could not hurt his uncle Wei Qing and his uncle Liu Che. And perhaps it was the envy of the talents, Huo Wentong also died of illness early.
Although Huo Wentong died of illness, the fact that Emperor Wu of Han tried to use him to suppress Wei Qing was still there, and Emperor Wu of Han would also feel ashamed of Wei Qing, which also led to his ability to barely cross the hurdle of Wei Qing in terms of power and prestige, and it was psychologically difficult to cross this hurdle, so he had to consider Wei Qing's ideas in some things.
Although Emperor Wu of Han was brilliant, a considerable part of his achievements came from Wei Qing, so he had to consider Wei Qing's feelings in many things. Wei Qing is indeed a powerful figure, although he is a military general, but not just a military general, it is Wei Qing's influence is so great, so that when Emperor Wu of Han no longer favored Wei Zifu later, he did not dare to easily abolish the queen, this man who guarded the Great Han for decades with his own talent and promoted the great Han national prestige is indeed worthy of this treatment.
