Urgent! ! Three Great Achievements and One Failure of Handedi

In the later years of Emperor Wu, Empress Wei began to fall out of favor, and Jiang Chong was reused by Emperor Wu. Jiang Chong was at odds with the Prince and Wei Ruyun, fearing that the Prince would kill him after he succeeded to the throne in the future, so he thought of using the "witchcraft" that made several major cases at that time to create a conspiracy. At this time, Emperor Wu became suspicious because of his age, thinking that everyone around him knew "curse", which led to many people being killed. Jiang is responsible for handling cases related to witchcraft. He said there was witchcraft in the palace, and Emperor Wu sent other officials to assist in tracing it. Jiang Chong came to Taigu Digging Method and dug out a doll made of paulownia. At that time, Liang Wudi went to other places for the summer vacation. The prince summoned the prince's young master, Shi De, for fear of being punished, and suggested that the prince act beyond his authority, arrest Jiang Chong and others, and trace their plot. The prince quickly agreed to Shi De's opinion.

In the second year of Zheng He (before 9 1), at noon in July, the prince sent a hypothetical person to collect Jiang Chong and others. Jiang Chong's assistant Han said that he doubted the identity of the emissary and refused to be summoned, so he was killed. The prince sent someone to inform the queen and distributed weapons to the guards. The prince announced to his ministers that Jiang Chong had rebelled and killed him. At that time, Su Wen, another assistant of Jiang Chong, fled to the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and complained to him. Emperor Wu sent an emissary to call the prince, but the emissary did not dare to look for the prince. He reported to Emperor Wu that "the prince has become a prince and wants to kill the minister, and the minister has escaped." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and ordered Prime Minister Liu Quming to lead troops to quell the chaos. The prince assembled tens of thousands of people and fought fiercely with the prime minister's army for five days, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people. People in Chang 'an think that the prince has rebelled, so most people don't support him. The prince was weak and defeated, so he had to flee Chang 'an. The queen committed suicide and many of the prince's guests were killed.

The prince fled to a poor family in Huxian county, and the head of the household often sold the money to support the prince's life. A rich old friend of the prince was found here because he sent someone to look for him. Officials rounded up the prince, who committed suicide and the head of the household was killed.

The prince has three sons and a daughter, all of whom were killed because of witchcraft rebellion. Only one grandson, Liu Xun, survived.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not believe in witchcraft, and Tian and other ministers expressed their dissatisfaction with the prince. Knowing that Liu Yuxin had no rebellion, he killed Jiang Chong, put Su Wen to death and built a "thinking uterus" in Huxian County.

Herry Liu's grandson Liu Xun ascended the throne for Xuan Di more than ten years later. After he ascended the throne, Herry Liu was called "violent", so Herry Liu was also called "violent prince".

On the surface, Liu Ji's tragedy is caused by many accidental factors. In fact, it stems from the struggle for "exclusive", "exclusive" and "lifelong hereditary" imperial power, which is the distortion of human nature by power. From Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the unified Qin and Han Dynasties, the life tenure of the monarch and the hereditary succession of the throne were made into socially recognized systems. Monarchical power is supreme and unrestricted, and the absolute centralization of the monarch has become an unquestionable concept. As a result, the incidents of coveting and usurping the throne have emerged one after another, and even the struggle for the throne between the flesh and blood relatives has led to one tragedy after another. In history, there have been many incidents in which fathers killed their sons, sons killed their fathers and brothers killed each other. The criminal prince case is a tragedy caused by the struggle between father and son for the throne.
