Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's last fight: Why did he choose to "cut the grass and eradicate the roots" before he died?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a great emperor in Chinese history. His name was Liu Che, and during his reign, the Han Dynasty reached unprecedented glory.
He expanded his territory, developed his economy, and prospered culturally. But in his later years, he became worried. Especially in 87 B.C., he was seriously ill and lay in bed, and his heart was even more uneasy.
In the dead of night, Liu Che often thinks back on his past. He remembered the ambitions of his youth, and also of the brothers who fought the world with him.
One by one, they went before him, and now he was left alone in the hospital bed. In the palace, the wind chimes sounded crisply, as if to remind him that time was running out. He knew that he was about to leave, but he was worried about the future of Dahan.
In Liu Che's eyes, the future of the Han Dynasty was full of uncertainty. His youngest son, Liu Fuling, is only eight years old and is still an innocent child. Liu Che remembered the story of Empress Lu.
Empress Lu was the queen of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and after Liu Bang's death, she seized the power and killed heroes indiscriminately, making the court miserable. Liu Che didn't want this to happen to his son again.
So, Liu Che made a shocking decision. He ordered the execution of all concubines who had children, including his beloved Lady Gouyi. This decision caused an uproar in the palace.
The guards talked about it in private, and some people said that the emperor was crazy and did such an unethical thing. The Chinese scholars also whispered behind their backs, lamenting that Mrs. Hook Yi had served her wholeheartedly for many years, but she ended up like this, which was chilling.
Liu Che's decision was not impulsive, but deliberate. He knew that Mrs. Hook Yi was smart and beautiful, but she was also ambitious. If she takes power in the future, will she repeat the mistakes of Empress Lu?
The thought made him feel uneasy. He is determined to clear all obstacles for his son, even if it means making cruel decisions.
"If I don't do this, who can guarantee that there will not be someone like Empress Lu in power in the future?" When Liu Che was seriously ill, he once said such things to the ministers around him.
Liu Che's deathbed decision, although considered cruel at the time, was brilliant in the long run. He traded his pain for the future stability of the Han Dynasty. His foresight and wisdom have been admired by future generations.
The fate of Lady Hook Yi: From a favorite concubine to a victim, what did she do wrong?
Mrs. Gouyi, whose real name is Zhao, was the most favored concubine in the life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. She came from an ordinary background, and was originally just an ordinary woman in the people. But the turning point of fate came on a summer afternoon.
On that day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on tour and happened to pass by her hometown. Zhao's beauty and intelligence attracted the attention of Emperor Wu of Han, and the two hit it off at first sight.
Zhao was brought into the palace and given the title of Mrs. Hook Yi. Since then, her life has changed dramatically.
In the palace, Lady Gou Yi quickly won the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. She is not only beautiful and moving, but also empathetic and knows how to please Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The two often wandered in the garden, talking about government and poetry.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even said to her: "Spending this life with you is my greatest happiness." The other concubines in the palace were jealous and helpless of her, because she was endlessly favored by the emperor.
Lady Gou Yi was not only favored in life, but her son Liu Fuling also received special attention from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Fuling is smart and cute, and he is deeply loved by his father.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once publicly stated that Liu Fuling would definitely become a Ming monarch in the future. In this pampering, Mrs. Hook Yi gradually became full of hope for the future. However, her fate changed dramatically before the death of Emperor Wu of Han.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill, there was a tense atmosphere in the palace. The ministers discussed the arrangements for the emperor after he became seriously ill, and Mrs. Gou Yi was no exception.
She often sits alone in front of the window in the dead of night, staring into the distance in a daze. She knew that her fate and her son's future were in the hands of Emperor Wu of Han.
One night, Mrs. Hook Yi heard some rumors. Some people say that the emperor is ready to take extreme measures for the sake of Liu Fuling's future. Her heart tightened, and she hurried to see Emperor Wu of Han.
She knelt in front of the bed and asked with tears streaming down her face, "Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?" Emperor Wu of Han looked at her, his eyes full of mixed emotions. He gently stroked her hair and said, "This is for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, and also for our son." ”
After Mrs. Hook Yi heard this, her heart was like a knife. She knew she could never change that decision. She could only accept it silently, her heart full of helplessness and despair.
A few days later, Lady Hook Yi was given to her death. In the last moments of her life, she did not cry, but quietly closed her eyes. Her fate was ruthlessly ended in the game of thrones.
From an ordinary woman, to the most favored concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then to the ultimate victim, her life was full of drama. What exactly did she do wrong?
Perhaps, she did nothing wrong. She just met the wrong fate at the wrong time.
Huo Guang and Jin Riyan: After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who is in control of the Han Dynasty?
After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the young Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne, which made the hearts of the ministers of the court and the central government tugging. Who can control the Han dynasty at this critical moment? This burden fell on the shoulders of Huo Guang and Jin Ilyan.
Huo Guang was a brilliant man who was born in 134 BC. His elder brother Huo Qubing was a powerful general of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and had great achievements. Huo Guang received a good education since he was a child, and when he grew up, he also became the right-hand man of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often said: "Huo Guang is loyal and reliable, and he is the person I trust the most." Therefore, on his deathbed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty designated Huo Guang as an auxiliary minister to assist Liu Fuling.
Let's talk about Jin Riyan, he was originally a Xiongnu, and only arrived in the Han Dynasty after being captured. He was tall and handsome, and won the love and trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Jin Riyan performed well in the palace and eventually became a confidant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to him, "Although you are of a different race, you are loyal and will be able to assist my son." "Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also asked Jin Riyan to assist the young emperor.
After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang and Jin Riyan shouldered heavy responsibilities. Early one morning, in the main hall of the East Palace, Huo Guang and Jin Riyan were discussing state affairs.
Huo Guang said: "Now that the emperor is young and there are many affairs in the DPRK and China, we must do our best and not slack off. ”
Jin Riyan nodded: "Yes, only if we work together can we keep this big Han country." The two of them have a clear division of labor, Huo Guang handles internal affairs, and Kim Il-yan is in charge of the military, and they cooperate very tacitly.
Once, a big event happened in the DPRK and China. The Xiongnu on the northwest border came to invade the border again, and the situation was very tense. Huo Guang convened a meeting of ministers to discuss countermeasures.
He said with a firm look in his eyes: "This time we must teach the Huns a cruel lesson, so that they dare not invade again." Jin Ilyan immediately responded: "I am willing to lead the army to defend the frontier." With their joint efforts, the Han army won a complete victory and kept the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Although Huo Guang and Kim Il-pan played a great role in the DPRK, their approach also caused some controversy. Huo Guang acted steadily, but he also seemed a little conservative because of this.
Although Kim Il-yan is loyal, he is a foreign race after all, and some people question his loyalty. In the face of these doubts, Huo Guang firmly said: "As long as it is for the sake of the Han River, I don't care about personal gains and losses." Kim Il-pan proved his loyalty with his actions, and fought bravely on the battlefield many times.
Historical evaluations are also mixed for both of them. Some people believe that Huo Guang is the patron saint of the Han Dynasty, and his wisdom and loyalty have preserved the country. Others thought he was too conservative and hindered reform.
Jin Ilyan was called "a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty", but there were also voices that he was a foreign race after all and should not hold too much power.
In general, after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang and Jin Riyan successfully assisted the young emperor Liu Fuling and kept the Han dynasty by virtue of their wisdom and loyalty. Their stories show us how important trust and collaboration are when it matters most.
1948 Historical Re-Examination: Why Was Emperor Wu of Han's Decision Considered a Brilliant Move?
In 1948, a great discovery in the field of history made people re-examine the decision-making of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In this year, archaeologists discovered a number of precious Han Dynasty documents in Luoyang. These documents reveal many unknown details and have sparked heated discussions in the academic community.
Chen Shoukang, a well-known historian, led a team to conduct a detailed study of these documents. They found that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had far-reaching strategic considerations behind the handling of the issue of Lady Gouyi and the young emperor Liu Fuling.
Chen Shoukang said in a lecture: "The decision of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not only for the stability of power, but also for the long-term stability of the entire Han Dynasty. ”
Once, Chen Shoukang mentioned in a public speech: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Mrs. Death Hook Yi, not only to avoid interference in the harem, but also to ensure that Liu Fuling grew up in an environment free of interference." ”
He also cites a passage in the literature that tells the story of a conversation between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Lady Gouyi.
During this conversation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to Mrs. Gou Yi: "My move is really a plan of the Jiangshan Society, and I hope that Qing understands." Mrs. Gou Yi replied with tears: "The concubine understands that she is willing to sacrifice for the Han Dynasty." ”
These discoveries gave people a new understanding of Emperor Wu of Han's decision-making. Chen Shoukang pointed out that the decision of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although it seemed cruel, did lay the foundation for the stability of the Han Dynasty in the long run.
Through data analysis, his team proved that Liu Fuling, with the assistance of Huo Guang and Jin Riyan, successfully survived his childhood and eventually became a Ming Jun. All this is inseparable from the original foresight of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
These discoveries in 1948 not only gave the academic community a new understanding of Emperor Wudi's decision-making, but also made more people realize that historical events often have their complexities.
Chen Shoukang said in an interview: "Every historical decision has its profound background and causes. We need more research to restore the truth of history. ”
These new interpretations make people rethink the impact of Emperor Wu of Han's decisions on the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ensured the safety of the young emperor and the stability of the government by sacrificing the Lady of Gouyi.
This move was evaluated as a clever move by later generations. Chen Shoukang concluded: "The decision of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty paved the way for the future of the Han Dynasty. His foresight and sagacity deserve our posterity's deep thought. ”
Was Emperor Wu of Han's decision morally acceptable? Is the loyalty of Huo Guang and Kim Il-pan impeccable? These questions are welcome to be liked, commented and forwarded to discuss together.
