The life story of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty

Early life experience

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was born in the year before Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (BC 156). According to the biographies of empresses in Historical Records and Hanshu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was born in June of the seventh year after Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC 157). Mother king, emperor neutron. When his mother Wang was pregnant, Emperor Han Jingdi was still a prince. The king dreamed that the sun entered her arms. After telling Jing Di, Jing Di said, "This is your signature." Before Liu Che was born, his grandfather Han Wendi died. After Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he was born and was also the only son of Wang.

In the fourth year of BC (BC 153), Liu Che was made King of Jiaodong and made Prince. In the same year, Emperor Jingdi's eldest son and half-brother Liu won the title of Prince. In the autumn and September of the sixth year BC (BC 15 1), the thin queen who had no children and no pets was abolished. In the second year (BC 150), in the first month of spring, Prince Liu Rong, who abandoned chestnut, became king of Linjiang. In summer and April, he made his mother king a queen and made Ding a prince. He became a prince, which had a lot to do with his mother, Empress Xiaojing, and his aunt, Princess Liu Pu of Guantao. Liu Piao promised to marry his daughter Chen to Jiaodong Wang, who was only four years old at that time. After marrying Chen, the time of their marriage is unknown.

In the first month of the third year (BC 14 1), Jingdi died. Jiazi, Liu Yuxin car, is the emperor. The queen mother is called the queen mother, and the queen mother is called the queen mother.

The monarch came to earth.

At the beginning of his reign, the Han Dynasty had been established for more than 60 years, and the world was stable. The court ministers all hoped that the emperor would hold a ceremony of offering sacrifices to Mount Tai and Liang Shanbo and change various systems. Moreover, the emperor also advocated Confucianism and recruited wise men through virtuous and upright subjects. Zhao Wan (w m: n, deceased), Wang Zang and others climbed to the high positions of officials with their erudition and versatility. They want to suggest that the Emperor of Heaven set up a hall for preaching politics and religion in the south of the city according to the ancient system, as a place for imperial governors. The plan they drafted for the emperor to patrol, meditate and change the calendar service system has not yet been completed. Just as Dou Taihou was still advocating Taoism of Huangdi and Laozi, he didn't like Confucianism, so he sent people to visit Zhao Wan and others privately to make illegal profits, and summoned Zhao Wan, Wang Zang, Zhao Wan and Wang Zang to commit suicide. Those things they suggested were abolished.

It was not until Dou Taihou's death that Emperor Wu came to power. He further weakened the power of the vassal, and promulgated the feudal decree put forward by minister Zhu (y m 4 n), which promoted the vassal's enfeoffment by the legal system and forced the vassal's fief to shrink itself. At the same time, he set up a secretariat to supervise local governments. Strengthen centralization, organize private businesses such as iron smelting, salt boiling and wine making into central management, prohibit vassal States from casting money, and centralize financial power in the central government. Ideologically, Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" paved the way for the special position of Confucian education in ancient China, and established a special Confucian education-Imperial College in Chang 'an, which was the highest institution of learning at that time. During the period of Emperor Wudi, there was no lack of rule of law in the Han Dynasty. While promoting Confucianism, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty consolidated the authority of the government and showed the status of imperial power through laws and regulations and criminal law. Therefore, sinologists believe that this should be a system in which Confucianism is the mainstay, law is the supplement, and Confucianism is outside the law. It preached Confucianism and Taoism to the general public to show the softness of the government, and imposed severe criminal laws on the government to restrain ministers.

After a series of policies to develop the economy and people's livelihood, such as Wen Jing's recuperation, the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty is growing. While inheriting these policies, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actively prepared to develop military forces.

Militarily, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first put down the turmoil in southern Fujian and Vietnam. After that, we began to use military means, not humiliating pro-policies, to completely solve the threat of Xiongnu in the north. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were sent to attack the Huns on a large scale three times, to capture the Hetao area, to seize the Hexi Corridor, to conquer the western regions, to seal the wolf in Xu Xu, and to push the northern territory of the Han Dynasty from the Great Wall to Mobei.

At the same time of the Xiongnu War, we adopted peaceful and military means to bring western countries to heel. After losing the fertile and lush southern desert, Attila moved to Mobei, which basically solved the threat of Xiongnu to the Central Plains since the early Western Han Dynasty and laid the foundation for the later inclusion of the western regions in China. Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and the Silk Road began.

In the astronomical calendar, the Qin system was inherited from the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Qin calendar-Zhuan Xu calendar was always implemented, with 10 as the beginning of the year. It was not until the early Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the calendar and implemented a new calendar. The Spring Festival began at the beginning of the calendar change and was corrected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The curse of witchcraft

The witch disaster in the second year of Zhenghe was an important event in the royal family in the last years of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. At that time, people believed in the curse of genie, and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was no exception. One day at noon, he was lying in bed and sleeping. Suddenly, he dreamed that thousands of wooden heads with sticks were calling him, which woke him up. He thought someone was cursing him and immediately sent Jiang Chong to investigate.

Sun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gong Sunhe, used military expenses190,000 yuan without authorization, and was arrested and imprisoned after the defeat. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued a letter to arrest Zhu Anshi, a warrior of Yangling, and Gong Sunhe arrested Zhu Anshi for the crime of redeeming his son and transferred him to the court. Unexpectedly, Zhu Anshi wrote a letter in prison, claiming that Gong Jingsheng was having an affair with Yang Shi Princess, and buried a Woodenhead on Chidao to curse the emperor. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and Gong Sunhe and his son died in prison. Yang Shi Princess, Princess Zhu Yi and Wei Qing's son Changping Wei Hou Eva were all implicated and killed one after another.

Jiang Chong led the wizard of the conference semifinals to dig wood everywhere and arrested those who used witchcraft to harm people. Jiang Chong went all the way to find and live, took out the prepared Woodenhead, and tried to frame the Prince. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was recuperating in Ganquan Palace, not in Chang 'an.

In the second year of Zheng He (9 1 BC), at noon in July, the prince sent a hypothetical person to arrest Jiang Chong and others and kill him. Su Wen fled to the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and complained to him. At first, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not believe this statement and sent messengers to call the prince, but the messengers did not dare to look for the prince and reported to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that "the prince became a prince and wanted to be a minister, and the minister escaped." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and ordered Prime Minister Liu Quli to lead the troops to quell the chaos. The prince took people away and armed tens of thousands of citizens in Chang 'an four cities. Outside the west gate of Changle Palace, I met the army led by Prime Minister Liu Quteming and fought fiercely with the Prime Minister's army for five days, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people. It is widely rumored that the Prince rebelled in Chang 'an, and the people dare not attach themselves to the Crown Prince, but the power of the Prime Minister is constantly strengthening. Finally, the prince was weak, defeated and had to flee Chang 'an.

Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was very angry. Only the three old men in Huguan allowed Gu Mao to dare to write to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and avenge the Crown Prince.

The prince fled to Huxian County (now Lingbao West, Henan Province) and hid in the spring pigeon. The master's family is poor, and he often weaves and sells straw sandals to support the prince. An acquaintance of the prince's lived in Huxian County and heard that he was rich. The prince sent for him, so the news leaked out. 19 1 1 August (the eighth day of the year), local officials rounded up the prince; Knowing that he could not escape, the prince went back to the house and hanged himself. The master died in a fight with the man looking for the prince, and the two emperors and grandchildren were also killed together.

The prince has three sons and a daughter, all of whom were killed because of witchcraft rebellion. The son of the Prince and the historical emperor Sun, who survived as a baby, was later renamed as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

For a long time, I didn't believe in witchcraft After investigation, it is found that most of the criminal acts reported by officials and ordinary people are false. Knowing that the prince had no intention of being scared, Qian Qiu sued the prince for injustice, saying, "It is a crime to punish a son for beating his father's soldiers;" The son of the son of heaven killed someone by mistake. Why not? I dreamed that a Chinese Pulsatilla taught me to speak. " So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty woke up and immediately appointed Tian as a great hero, and ordered the river to be full of portals and burned to death on the bridge. Those who once blocked the prince's weapons were also killed one after another. Empathizing with the innocence of the prince, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent someone to build a palace in Huxian County, named "Thinking of Uterus", and also built a high platform named "Looking for Homecoming" to pin his thoughts on Ji and his two grandchildren, which made the world lament.

Take turns committing crimes.

In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed to seek immortality, and because of witchcraft, his father and son killed each other and committed suicide. All kinds of blows made Emperor Wu disheartened and regretted what he had done in the past. After the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty climbed Mount Tai and worshipped the Mingtang, he wrote "The Crime of Luntai" and said, "Since I acceded to the throne, I have been crazy, which has made the world miserable and I can't regret it. Let those who have harmed the people and ruined the world from today! " Admit a mistake. Therefore, the world gradually restored harmony, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of Zhao Xuan and ZTE.

Togu Huo Guang

In 88 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the painter to draw a picture of the Duke of Zhou returning to the DPRK and gave it to Huo Guang, meaning that Huo Guang assisted his youngest son Liu Fuling as emperor. During this period (the exact time is unknown), Mrs. Gou Jian, Liu Fuling's mother, was reprimanded for being "guilty" and died in Yunyang Palace. Generally speaking, it is considered as a young woman. In order to prevent Mrs Gou Jian from repeating the mistakes of Lv Hou's weighing system, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found an excuse to put her to death.

In February, 87 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Liu Fuling a prince on his deathbed. Four days later, Ding Mao died in Zuo Wu Palace at the age of 70. In March, Shen Jia was buried in Maoling. Huo Guang officially accepted the testamentary edict of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and became the assistant minister of Liu Fuling of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. With Jin Ridi, Shangguan Jie, Sang Hongyang, etc. His successor, Zhao (in fact, Huo Guang was in power) and he insisted on the policy of protecting the people formulated by Emperor Wu in his later years, so the situation of Zhao appeared in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, which was praised by later generations.

After Liu Che's death, Emperor posthumous title Sejong, the filial emperor, was buried in Maoling.

Before Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were very strict regulations on whether the late emperor could respect the temple name. According to the standard of "ancestors have meritorious deeds and ancestors have virtue", the founding monarchs are generally ancestors and heirs who have the ability to govern the country. In the 14th Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, after 2 1 1 year, only four emperors had temple names, namely Emperor Liu Bang, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Sejong Liu Che and Zhongzong Xuan Di Liu Xun.

Anecdotal allusions, names, anecdotes

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was young, he named Zhan a pig for the wonderful book The Story of Hanwu: "Emperor Jing also dreamed that Gaozu said that he once said,' Wang Meiren has a son. "This can be called finish. And give birth to a boy, because of the name. "

However, it has been clearly recorded in Historical Records of Xiaojingji and Five History of Xiaojingji in Han Dynasty that Liu Che was named Wang Qian in Jiaodong, and his name was out and out, and Kun was never used at all. Even later Sima Guang's Zi Jian (Volume 16) and Han Ji Ba did not accept the story of Hanwu, thus misinforming the young name Bi. In fact, in the Han Dynasty, Bi Che was homophonic, saying that Emperor Wu's real name was Herry Liu, which was homophonic.

Seek immortality

According to Historical Records of Xiaowu, in the first year of Yuanfeng (BC 1 10), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty offered a meditation ceremony on Mount Tai, and listened to some alchemists clamoring that "Penglai Mountain will be available" and "it will return to the east and the sea" in order to "hope to meet Penglai". I hope to see the "Penglai" Fairy Mountain, instead of meeting at the seaside in Shandong, but "merging with the sea" and "going to Jieshi in the north", and walking all the way along the seaside to Jieshi Mountain, known as "Shen Yue", to worship the gods and seek immortality. Emperor Wu's visit to Jieshi revived the fairy-seeking activities in the coastal area of Jieshi Mountain a hundred years later. His fairy-seeking activities are much more lively than Qin Shihuang's, such as calling ghosts and gods, alchemy sand, waiting for gods and so on. There are countless kinds of tricks, and they always go to the sea to seek "Penglai", pointing to the mountain and saying Zen. At that time, in order to cater to his worship of immortals, "so the county and the country parted ways and built famous temples." To this end, there are many buildings around Jieshi Mountain that worship God and seek immortality. At the southern foot of Jieshi Mountain, there are still relics of Emperor Wu's palace. 1958 during the construction of the playground of the second middle school of Xishan Dongpo in Changli county (Changli No.1 Middle School), a large number of "Long Live the Millennium" ceramic tiles and dahan tiles were unearthed, which should be the location of the palace where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived when he came to Jieshi Mountain.

In Jieshi Mountain, Liu Che, like Qin Shihuang, made contributions by carving stones. In this regard, Li Daoyuan's "Water Mirror Notes Soft Water" has a clear description: "The Luanhe River is southeast to Jieshi Mountain in Jixian County ... Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also tasted it to see the giant sea, and the stone is here." Xian county was the county name of Changli in the Western Han Dynasty, and Sendingding, the main peak of Jieshi Mountain in the northern part of Changli County, was also called "Hanwutai" because "the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also tasted the huge sea and the stone was here". "Han Wutai" is probably the oldest proper name of the main peak of Jieshi Mountain.

Settle a young wife/mistress in a golden house

The allusion of "Golden House hides a beautiful woman" comes from the wonderful book "Hanwu Story", which is not recorded in the official history. "Hanwu Story" wrote: My late master returned to the palace, and how old was King Jiaodong? The princess put her arms around her knees and asked, "Does the child want a wife?" The leader pointed to more than 100 people around him and said "no need" to point to his daughter. He said, "What about Gillian?" He smiled and said, "Well, if you marry Gillian, treat it as a golden house." Master Chang is happy. Difficult to get along with, so I got married.

Empress Chen, also known as Gillian, was originally the niece of Emperor Liu Qi, sweet and lovely. One day, her mother took her into the palace, and Liu Che, the son of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty (that is, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty), was also playing. She picked up Liu Che and asked, "Shall I marry Sister Gillian to you?"

Although Gillian is older than Liu Che, Liu Che lives in the palace and often plays with Gillian. Seeing the big sister's bright eyes and white teeth, she is good at coaxing children. She replied without thinking: "Good! If Sister Gillian marries me, I will build a golden house and hide her in it! " Hearing this, Emperor Jingdi casually said, "Cher knew that the golden house hides the charming at an early age!" "

Take action for politics

At the beginning of Emperor Wu's reign, on the one hand, the political situation was relatively stable and the national economic situation was relatively good. On the other hand, the separatist factors of the vassal States still exist, and the Huns in the border are constantly harassed, but the feudal ruling ideology has not yet been established.

Strengthen centralization

In order to strengthen centralization, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Zhu's suggestion and issued a promotion decree, allowing kings to distribute land to their children and establish a smaller vassal state. The main contents are as follows: apart from being inherited by the eldest son, the throne of a vassal king can also be enfranchised to other sons of this country through the form of "giving favors widely" (that is, allowing more people to enjoy privileges). The new Marquis State broke away from the restrictions of the original kingdom, was geographically independent, and was basically deprived of political power and was under the jurisdiction of local county officials. In this way, the original independent local kingdom automatically handed over power to the state. After that, local kings and princes only enjoyed material privileges, that is, they enjoyed the tax on their fiefs. But without the previous political privileges. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also found an excuse to cut the then Houzhou in half. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty laid a unified political structure in China.
