Fan Zhongyan: Without the eldest princess, the position of prince would still belong to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The previous princes did not understand the warrants. Even the prince Liu Rong at the time was the same. It was just that with the blessing of the eldest princess, it was easier.

Li Shimin: One smart son is not as important as many sons. Quite a few of the sons of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did not know how to use power and did not know how to restrain themselves. They could easily dig a big hole for themselves and then jump into it. Liu Rong was one of them. Not only because of his mother, but also because of himself after becoming the prince, he didn't know how to restrain himself.

Kangxi: My sons are all very strong. Look at the outcome.

Zhu Yuanzhang: At least he is better than Sima Yi and Yang Jian!

"Logically speaking, a eldest princess, no matter how powerful she is, cannot directly influence the emperor and dethrone the prince."

"Moreover, Emperor Han Jing is not stupid. He can naturally see what the eldest princess is thinking. However, as time goes by, Emperor Han Jing will inevitably have grudges and have more and more opinions about Li Ji and her son."

"It just so happened that at this moment, Li Ji, who seriously lacked political acumen, once again gave Liu Che a divine assist."

"In 151 BC, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty suddenly fell ill and was bedridden."

"Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, who was seriously ill, called Li Ji to his side, which seemed to be a sign of entrustment."

"Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty expressed the hope that after his death, Li Ji could take care of his other children and prevent things like Empress Lu from happening."

"If Li Ji had any political acumen, she would naturally agree immediately."

"Even if he really has murderous intentions, he will definitely have to wait until Emperor Han Jing dies before he reveals them."

"However, the simple-minded Li Ji got angry on the spot and directly stated that she would not agree, and she also made rude remarks to Emperor Han Jing."

"Probably at that time, Li Ji felt that she was already winning and would be able to become the Queen Mother soon."

"After Li Ji behaved like this, the last trace of friendship that Emperor Han Jing had for Li Ji completely disappeared."

"At that time, Li Ji was probably just waiting for Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to pass away so that her son could successfully ascend the throne and become the crown prince."

"However, God failed to fulfill his wishes. Shortly after this, Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty recovered from his illness!"

"After Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty recovered, he naturally became more distant from Li Ji."

"But due to Liu Rong's status as the prince, it's hard to do much. He just became more alienated from the mother and son."

"However, the clever Wang Meiren saw the thoughts of Emperor Han Jing and instantly seized this opportunity."

"With the push of Beauty Wang, many ministers began to petition, requesting that the Empress Bo who had never given birth to a child be deposed."

"Emperor Han Jing has long lost interest in Empress Bo. Now that his grandmother has passed away for many years and the Bo family has declined, Emperor Han Jing no longer needs to worry about anything and just abolished the poor Empress Bo. "

"Afterwards, Beauty Wang encouraged the ministers to petition and request Li Ji to be made queen."

"Now, no matter how slow Emperor Han Jing is, he will have many new associations."

"In the eyes of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Li Ji was behind all of this."

"It was Li Ji who encouraged the ministers to report and asked her to depose Queen Bo, but she wanted to be the queen."

"If Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty still loves Li Ji at this time, then Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty will definitely push the situation and be happy to facilitate this matter."    "However, after the previous serious illness incident, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty no longer has any favor for Li Ji."

"At this time, if something like this happens again, Emperor Han Jing will only feel that this woman is threatening his imperial power."

"No emperor can tolerate this."

"So, after that, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty directly ordered to kill the minister who wrote the letter, depose Liu Rong, and completely imprison Li Ji in the deep palace, never to see her again."

"After Li Ji was imprisoned, she became depressed and became ill, and died soon after."

"He really created opportunities for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When he was deposed as King Linjiang, Liu Rong did not know how to restrain himself and occupied the ancestral temple in order to build a palace. His actions immediately aroused the suspicion and dissatisfaction of Emperor Jing Liu Qi. "

"Emperor Jing was worried that Liu Rong, who did not know how to restrain himself, would imitate King Wu Liu Bi and start a rebellion after his death, so he immediately recalled Liu Rong to Chang'an."

"Soon after, Emperor Jing hinted that Lieutenant Zhidu would torture Liu Rong to extract a confession, forcing Liu Rong to admit the crime of treason."

"Seeing his father being so heartless, Liu Rong lost all hope and finally committed suicide in prison in despair."

"As mentioned before, many of the sons of Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, broke the law or had bad personal ethics, probably because they were particularly spoiled by children."

"They often have a negative impact on society. If the country falls into their hands, the future of the country will be really worrying."

"Liu Duan, the king of Jiaoxi, was very lazy in the government affairs of the feudal state. He did not collect rent every day and did not clean up the treasury. In addition to being lazy in government, Liu Duan also liked to falsely accuse or harm ministers."

"King Zhao Liu Pengzu is even more weird. He likes fishing and law enforcement very much."

"Every time he heard that officials came to Zhao State to do business, Liu Pengzu would pretend to be a commoner, lure these officials to ridicule the court, and then report them himself. He was called the master of fishing and law enforcement in the Han Dynasty."

"Liu Pengzu also particularly liked to blackmail passing merchants, embezzle taxes, and use the money to support his family. This behavior seriously affected the smooth operation of local government and finance in the Western Han Dynasty."

"Liu Ji, King Kang of Jiaodong, was not an easy man. When he heard about the rebellion of King Huainan, he didn't even think about protecting the court. Instead, he secretly prepared weapons in order to help King Huainan rebel against his own brother."

"Fortunately, it was discovered by the relevant departments in time, otherwise the Han Dynasty would have caused another uproar."

"Compared to them, Liu Che is really much stronger."

"Of course Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not the only one who was smart."

"Except for the eldest son Liu Rong, the second son Liu De only concentrated on reading ancient books and made great contributions to the literature of later generations. He stayed away from power struggles and had no intention of participating in the fight for the throne."

"King Liu Yu of Lu Gong loved raising horses and had a stutter. King Liu Yue of Guangchuan also died young without any children."

"His other two brothers, Liu Cheng and Liu Yanyu, died not long after becoming princes."

"Another example is Liu Fa, the king of Changsha. Although he has no shortcomings, his mother has a low status and the chance of rising to the top is extremely low."

"At that time, Liu Che's mother was the granddaughter of King Yan, and she was also loved by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in the palace."

"And Liu Che's young age is not only suitable for the control of Liu Prostitute and others, this child's moral character is not bad, his personality is introverted and mature, and he is more suitable to be a candidate for the prince."
