Emperor Wu of Han was very similar to Qin Shihuang in many aspects. People always liked to compare Qin and Han Wu. After unifying China, Qin Shihuang carried out many political reforms, the most important one was to replace the feudal system with the county system.

Qin Shihuang had a total of more than 20 sons, all of whom were not granted a title to other places, and they were all stayed by his side, which made the palace struggle extremely fierce. In the end, one of his youngest sons forced the prince to death and took the throne. From the perspective of Prince Wei Liu Ju, the most feared thing was that Emperor Wu followed Qin Shihuang and did not grant title to the prince. The people around the prince were reminding him at all times not to repeat Fusu's mistakes.

Under the feudal system, the kings of the feudal state enjoy a high degree of autonomy. They can form troops in their feudal states, collect taxes, formulate laws, appoint officials, issue currency, and work with fathers and sons, which is like a country in the middle of the country. Emperor Wu has always been committed to eliminating the influence of the feudal states. From the bottom of his heart, he is unwilling to create a country in the middle of the country.

Huo Qubing asked Liu Che to make the third prince king twice. The first time it was very likely that it was just a verbal request. Liu Che ignored it. Then Huo Qubing wrote a letter and asked the prince to make the king. Emperor Wu had no choice but to give orders.

Discussion by the censor.

Unexpectedly, this discussion brought about the ministers' agreement and the momentum was huge. Emperor Wu did not want to be the king, but there were ministers outside who asked again and again. The sick wife Wang was crying mournfully. Finally, he finally compromised and appointed three princes as kings in April of that year.

The prince who was granted a title of king had to leave the capital to his fiefdom at a certain age. From then on, he became increasingly farther and farther away from the imperial power, and it was difficult to pose a threat to the position of the prince. Shortly after that, Mrs. Wang also passed away.

This battle for the throne in the palace ended with the victory of the prince.

This matter was led by Huo Qubing, and the ministers agreed, but why did Wei Qing, who had a prominent identity, never express his opinion? Is it to avoid suspicion? Why didn't Huo Qubing avoid suspicion? Huo Qubing was not an experienced politician. The matter of requesting the title of the Three Kings could not be his own sudden idea one day. Judging from the subsequent annotation of the ministers, it could not be a person's sudden idea. This matter has a deep political background and is a long-planned thing.

It is worth mentioning that Huo Qubing was just an initiator and leader. Later, the ministers invited him again and again, but he did not join. He was completely out of the matter, which shows that he was not enthusiastic about this matter.

As mentioned earlier, after the Battle of Mobei, what Huo Qubing lacked the most was family affection, and what he wanted to save the most was family affection. At this time, if someone told him that there was something very beneficial to the Wei family, but he needed his full help. At this time, Huo Qubing would definitely stand up and be the leader without hesitation.

5. Huo Qubing's death was in September of the sixth year of Yuanshou (117 BC). Huo Qubing died in September of the sixth year of Yuanshou (117 BC). In the first year of Yuanding (116 BC), Wei Qing's eldest son Wei Kang lost the marquis because of forgery of edicts. Is there a necessary connection between the two in time? At that time, people regarded October as the first month of the year, which means that Huo Qubing died at the end of that year, which was closely linked to the second year. Huo Qubing's death was the shortest and Wei Kang's loss of the marquis may be only one day, and the farthest was only one year.

Records of the Grand Historian: "Since the death of General Cavalry, the eldest son of General Yichun Hou Kang was defeated by the law." There is no doubt that these two things are closely linked in time. Let's look at Wei Kang's charges and correct them.

10th floor, [swio] posted on 2007-2-1023:19:50 | Delete posts | Add essence

Correction, that is, falsely spreading the imperial edict, the consequences are very serious and require great risks. So why did Wei Kang need to correct it? He took a risk to correct it, which could not be for trivial matters, nor for insignificant little people. So who was the target of his false edict? What kind of edict did he falsely spread?

Such a serious crime, no matter how big a person is, as long as these two words are involved, the death penalty cannot be escaped. Why did Wei Kang just remove the marquis without death? With the weight of Wei Qing in Emperor Wu's heart at that time, can he protect this son who committed the death penalty?

Huo Qubing was only twenty-three years old this year. According to common sense, Wei Kang is probably only in his teenage years. How capable can such a young man be? How high can he cause? What qualifications does he have to correct?

Six, Zhang Tang's death

Zhang Tang was an extremely important minister in the Wu Dynasty. He handled Empress Chen's witchcraft case, and he suppressed the rebellion case of King Huainan. He revised the court's rule, and he proposed the first one.

11th Floor, [swio] posted on 2007-2-1023:20:49 | Delete posts | Add essence

His role is not limited to a certain field. Zhang Tang was almost the case in every major political move in the early stage of Emperor Wu. It can be said that he was both a decision maker and an executor, and he was in charge of his internal and external identities. Will he just be a small chess piece that is used by others and merciless?

What kind of person is Zhang Tang? In addition to being ruthless and making many enemies, he is also very honest and has no money left after his death.

Although Zhang Tang was not fond of money, his pursuit of power was fanatical, which would inevitably affect the interests of the Wei family. Specifically, Zhang Tang had a dispute with the Prime Minister and had the ambition to seize the position of Prime Minister. The Prime Minister was the young tutor of the prince, which was closely related to the interests of the Wei family.

Emperor Wu relied on Zhang Tang very much, and even went to his house to visit him when Zhang Tang was sick. However, the feudal emperors were suspicious and fickle. When people criticized Zhang Tang again and again, Emperor Wu was shaken and put him in prison for review.

Zhang Tang was a famous cruel official. He offended too many people and was soon attacked by the crowd. In the end, he committed suicide in prison and passed a message to Emperor Wu before his death, saying that the person who framed him was the Third Chief.

The chief secretary is the chief secretary of the prime minister, which means that they are all from the prime minister and crown prince Shaofu Zhuang Qingzhai.

12th Floor, [swio] posted on 2007-2-1023:22:23 | Delete posts | Add essence

As soon as Zhang Tang died, Emperor Wu immediately regretted it and felt very heartbroken, but it could no longer be saved. All he could do was to kill the three chiefs of the ministers in anger. Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai later committed suicide in prison.

This is a typical power struggle. In the end, the Crown Prince Wei Party was still the party of the Crown Prince. Although they died a young tutor, the new Prime Minister Zhao Zhou was the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor. It can be said that the Wei power was not hit. Instead, they were likely to benefit from the power vacuum caused by Zhang Tang's death. In this incident, Emperor Wu was hit.

,Who is the real murderer?

A series of political events, a series of personnel changes, and a series of power changes are enough to prove that the complexity and fierce political struggles during this period are always at the core of the storm and have always firmly occupied the upper hand.

The uncle and nephew of Li, who was a enemy, died. The three princes who brought pressure to the prince were enfeoffed. Mrs. Wang, who was competing for favor with Wei Zifu, died. Huo Qubing, who threatened Wei Qing's status, died. Zhang Tang, who was competing for power with the prince's young tutor, also died.

If all this is not a coincidence, then Wei's methods are really amazing and terrifying.

13th Floor, [swio] posted on 2007-2-1023:23:50 | Delete posts | Add essence

The Wei family represents a large group of people, a huge group of interests, not specifically referring to a certain person. However, in this group, there must be a leader and a main planner of the conspiracy. This person must be extremely enthusiastic about power and ruthless; this person must be very strong and has a low status, so that there can be enough means and enough weight to compete with many complex political struggles.

Will this person be the general Wei Qing? If so, then the lenient and generous he showed, and kindness and kindness, will be all disguised. Wei Qing is too terrible. But is this possible? You must know that disguising is not difficult for a while, but it is impossible for a lifetime to disguise.

Will this person be the queen's guard's son? It is difficult for us to associate that insidious and powerful person who uses any means to achieve his goals with this poor woman who cannot help but be connected. The prince is young, Wei Qing's eldest son is also young, Gongsun He is ordinary, and who else is the Wei family?

In addition to these people, the Wei family has another very important figure, that is Princess Pingyang. Princess Pingyang is the eldest sister of Emperor Wu. Her mother is a powerful character who is very good at palace struggles. She stood out from the fierce and complex political struggles, sat on the throne of the queen, and also brought her son Liu.

14th Floor, [swio] posted on 2007-2-1023:24:56 | Delete posts | Add essence

Princess Pingyang married the Marquis of Pingyang, and her name came from this. Pingyang was far away from Hedong, and from then on, she was far away from the capital Chang'an and was disconnected from politics. (Princess Pingyang must have been to Pingyang County, otherwise she would not have met the Wei family. Wei family was born and raised in Pingyang County. Both generations of the Wei family had an affair with Pingyang County officials. It is enough to prove that it was.)

If Princess Pingyang was an ordinary woman, she would probably have lived in Pingyang County for the rest of her life, but she was obviously not like this. She seized an opportunity to return to Chang'an, and stayed for a long time, and got the opportunity to get close to the emperor.

After returning to Chang'an, she began to deliberately try to please the emperor and gain political capital. At that time, Empress Chen had no son, so she chose more than a dozen good women at home and was ready to offer her younger brother who was the emperor at any time. Emperor Wu finally fell in love with Wei Zifu, who was a humble person. Before leaving, Princess Pingyang stroked Wei Zifu's back and said, "It's precious, I wish I won't forget each other." The purpose is really obvious.

Although Wei Zifu entered the palace, his status was still humble. Empress Chen suppressed her. She could only be an ordinary palace maid and could not get close to the emperor at all. At this time, Wei Zifu's family was still a servant in Pingyang Mansion and his status would not change.

15th Floor, [swio] posted on 2007-2-1023:25:48 | Delete posts | Add essence

Wei Zifu was not very young when he entered the palace, and her two relatives had long reached the age of getting married. How did the humble daughter of the Wei family establish a relationship with the powerful and noble families of the dynasty? There is no doubt that Princess Pingyang must have made great efforts, and she built the Wei family's team.

At the beginning, Wei Zifu was at an absolute disadvantage in the palace struggle. However, this weak woman with a low status miraculously turned over and finally defeated Queen Chen with a strong backing. If there were no expert guidance behind her, who would believe it?

Apart from Princess Pingyang, I am afraid that no one will be found for those who can enter the deep palace smoothly.

After a bloody and cruel witchcraft case, Empress Chen was exiled to Changmen Palace and Wei won a great victory. After the witchcraft case, Empress Chen's mother Liu Piao found Princess Pingyang and cried, saying that the general idea was: Liu Che ascended the throne because of me, but now he is like this to my daughter. You can judge this reason. At this time, Princess Pingyang never mentioned the witchcraft case, but only answered one sentence: It’s not because the queen has no son, the subtext seemed to be saying, don’t blame us for being ungrateful, if you want to blame, blame your own daughter for not being good.

16th Floor, [swio] posted on 2007-2-1023:26:18 | Delete posts | Add essence

This shows that the so-called witchcraft is just a tool for political struggle. Even without this, Liu Piao and Chen Ajiao can't fight the experienced Princess Pingyang. Empress Chen has long been destined to be deposed.

Two years later, Wei Zifu gave birth to a prince and was made queen. Wei Qing went to the frontier to make a contribution and was granted the title of Marquis of Changping.

The development of Wei family was too fast, especially after Wei Qing became a general, Princess Pingyang felt that she could no longer fully control Wei family, so she did not hesitate to marry her former servant. The luxurious chariot of Wei family was built by her, and she would never allow it to break away from her control.

The interests of Wei family are the interests of Princess Pingyang. When Wei family encounters a crisis, Princess Pingyang will protect the interests of Wei family at all costs.

Wei Qing is the most important pillar of the entire Wei group and is also the husband of Princess Pingyang. Therefore, when Huo Qubing threatens Wei Qing's status, the one who hates Huo Qubing the most must be Princess Pingyang, and the one who wants Huo Qubing to die the most must be Princess Pingyang. What's terrible is that this princess has the ability and means to do this.

8. Why is Huo Qubing's death so secretive? Is Emperor Wu aware of it?

The age is far away and historical materials are limited. The specific cause of Huo Qubing's death is no longer possible, and it can only be imagined by the novelist.

It could not be a bloody assassination, because in this way, Emperor Wu would be furious and shock the world. It is unlikely that it would cause an accident for him, such as drowning and falling off a cliff. If this happens, the official would no longer have to come up with an excuse for him to die. If it was a poison, it would look like a death. But does Emperor Wu believe it? A thriving general was about to go to war when he suddenly said he would get sick and could not get sick. There were too many flaws. This move was easier to believe in against weak women and children. What's more, if Huo Qubing easily poisoned people, he would have been poisoned to death by the Huns who hated him to the bone.

Will someone induce him to commit suicide? You should know that people's words are not only terrifying, but sometimes they can also kill people. Their cleverness is far better than swords and poisons.

18th Floor, [swio] posted on 2007-2-1023:28:01|Delete posts|Add to add essence

Huo Qubing's personality is flawed, taciturn, arrogant and arrogant. You can imagine that such a person has no friends, he has no popularity in the court, and his reputation is not very good. Most of the soldiers in the army were Huns, and the reason why they worked for him was just for fame and fortune, and they might not have any deep feelings. After the War in Mobei, the people of the Wei family were almost equivalent to their enemies and had no affection at all. Even Wei Qing might have had a rift against him. Huo Qubing did not seem to be very close to his biological mother. Chen had always sought to renew his title, but he did not enthusiastically help. Although he recognized his biological father before the War in Mobei, his father did not return to Chang'an with him, and he had only a young brother beside him.

A stubborn and arrogant boy is most likely to go to extremes. Geniuses are lonely, which is especially true for Huo Qubing. Although he is noble in his youth, he may not be happy.

Judging from Emperor Wu's later attitude, although he was extremely sad, he did not take his anger on others because of this, nor did he start a massacre. In addition, he was heartbroken and prepared Huo Qubing's funeral, canceled his plan to send troops outside the border, and endured the Huns' anger, as if he was completely disappointed.

19th Floor, [swio] posted on 2007-2-1023:29:06 | Delete posts | Add essence

If it was suicide, Emperor Wu's performance would be explained, and Sima Qian's performance would be explained. Emperor Wu concealed the truth and claimed to have died of illness. Although this reason was very forced and no one believed it, everyone was secretive and no one dared to speak.

Nine, the destruction of Wei's clan

Although Emperor Wu did nothing for Huo Qubing except a luxurious funeral, Huo Qubing's death was a major turning point in the decline of Wei's family. Before this, although Emperor Wu was dissatisfied with the Wei family, he at least maintained a friendly atmosphere on the surface and maintained a minimum respect. Shortly after Huo Qubing's death, Emperor Wu broke up with Wei's family and showed no mercy, and the bad luck of the Wei family began. The first person to be affected was Wei Kang, and Huo Qubing's death was shortly after Huo Qubing's death.

He was stripped of the marquis. The next year, Princess Pingyang's son Cao Xiang died, and another young life was a book of his own. His specific cause of death was not recorded, but no matter what, the blow to Princess Pingyang by Cao Xiang's death would definitely be very big. Shortly after Cao Xiang's death, Emperor Wu actually ordered his eldest daughter and Wei Zifu, the wife of Cao Xiang, to remarry a god-in-law Luan Da, and soon executed Luan Da. It can be seen that Emperor Wu had no longer cared about Wei's family at this time.

Later, Emperor Wu used the method of taking away the titles of gold, which could not only make money but also eliminate the stranger. Wei Qing's two youngest sons and his elder brother-in-law Gongsun He all lost their titles this year. At that time, there was only one of the five marquises in a family, and now only Wei Qing was left. Even the prince of Wei felt in danger.

At this point, the Wei family must even look at the face of the face, not to mention the wind and rain, even when walking and speaking.

In 106 BC, Wei Qing, who had been idle for more than ten years, passed away. Wei Kang was not qualified to inherit the title. Once Wei Qing died, the last title of Wei clan would face the fate of being eliminated without a son, and the entire Wei clan fell into a desperate situation.

At this time, Princess Pingyang was the one who could turn the tide. It was probably during this period that she sent the young and beautiful Mrs. Li to the palace, repeating the old trick of sending Wei Zifu into the palace.

Wei Kang finally ascended Wei Qing's title, and we don't know the specific methods, but his title came from Princess Pingyang's strong support, which was recorded in history.

The beautiful lady Li is not a marionette who obeys her will. On the contrary, she is a very scheming woman. When she gave birth to a prince, it means that she threatened the position of the prince. In the end, this smart and stunning beauty will still be unable to escape.

When Princess Pingyang, the true protector of Wei, died, is no longer exploring. The later witchcraft disaster has disappeared. It is funny that Wei has climbed up with the witchcraft case, but he did not know that he was later given the same way and eventually fell on the small puppet man.

It is worth mentioning that the Huo family and Wei family completely drew a clear line after Huo Qubing's death. When the eleven gold medals were taken, the Wei family encountered an unprecedented crisis, but the young Marquis of Wanhuo Xian was completely unharmed and favored. After Huo Xian's unclear Yazhe, the title of champion obtained by Huo Qubing's bloody battle also disappeared. Huo Qubing's younger brother Huo Guang became the confidant of Emperor Wu after decades of hiding his strength and raising a low profile. He watched the destruction of the Wei family and finally became the biggest winner.
