What's more accidental is that Liu Fuling, the youngest son of Liu Che, the eighth son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had a relationship with the throne and became the crown prince. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had six sons in his life, the crown prince Liu Ju died"Witch curse", the second son Liu Hong died young, and the successor could only choose among the remaining four sons, but the other three sons could not choose for some reason, and Liu Fuling became the only choice.
Liu Dan, the third son of King Yama: not appointed, but deprived of the right to inherit.
After the deaths of Liu Zhi and Liu Hong, Liu Dan became the eldest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Dan once thought about how the crown prince should be ranked, but he didn't expect Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty"Witch curse"Later, the ranking of the crown prince is not like this.
In the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (88 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill, and Liu Dan saw that his father had no intention of making a prince"He took the initiative to write a letter and asked to establish himself as the crown prince"。This angered Emperor Wu of Han, who not only killed his deputy, but also"Harboring strangers violates Chinese law"For the reason to cut three counties, even sighed"His son should have been placed in the land of Qilu, in order to test the righteousness festival, and in the land of Yan and Zhao, in order to hand over the power"。He even sighed"Zisheng Yan Zhao fought for power, and placed Qilu to test righteousness"。
Since then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has no good impression of Liu Dan, so he is naturally not suitable to inherit the throne. It is worth mentioning that after Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, this benevolent brother rebelled twice and finally hanged himself.
Liu Xu, the fourth son of King Li of Guangling: blind and neglected.
Liu Xu is Liu Dan's younger brother. According to the Book of Han, Liu Xu was physically strong, not only able to carry a loom, but also to fight bears, wild boars and other wild beasts with his bare hands. However, this younger brother was a little too generous, disobeyed discipline, and did a lot of illegal and undisciplined things, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty naturally expelled him from the Han Dynasty.
I don't know if it's a genetic problem, Liu Xu covets the throne like his brother, but he doesn't openly rebel like his brother Liu Dan, but curses the emperor with witchcraft. For this, he was first"Curse"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling, and later"Curse"He of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Liu He, but the throne never fell on his head, and he finally hanged himself.
The fifth son of the king of Changyi, Liu Ju: He had a chance, but he was deceived by his uncle.
Liu Fuling, the youngest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was not yet born. Coupled with his mother, Mrs. Li's sympathy for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Fuling once became a confidant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and thus became a strong contender for the throne.
Liu Xuelai's uncle, Li Guangli, a general of the Second Division, had the same idea, so he solved the problem with Liu Quao, a relative of his son and daughter. In the third year of Zhenghe (90 BC), the administrator Guo Sui told Liu Quao's wife that he had cursed Emperor Wu of Han and went to the temple with Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, to pray for King Lichangyi to be emperor. As a result, Liu Quyak was beheaded in half, his wife was also beheaded, and Li Guangli's wife was ** at the same time. Li Guangli, who rushed to hear the news, surrendered to the Xiongnu after being defeated.
These changes, of course, excluded Liu Biao from the heir. In addition, Liu Wei died a year before the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Fuling, the sixth son of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty: The status and objective conditions are more favorable.
Although Liu Fuling is the youngest, in fact, after his brothers were stripped of the crown prince for various reasons, he was the only choice under the exclusion law. However, in addition to being young, Liu Fuling's subjective and objective conditions for becoming the crown prince are very favorable.
First of all, in the third and fourth years of Zhenghe (90 and 89 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that Liu Fuling, who was only five or six years old, was strong and intelligent, much like his own youth, so he loved him very much, placed high hopes on him, and even made him the crown prince. Liu Fuling is still young compared to his two older brothers, but considering his situation, he is in a good position.
Moreover, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the relatives were very powerful, and even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself was deeply affected, so the precautions of the relatives were very strict, and Liu Fuling's mother, Mrs. Gou Yi, was from a civilian background, and the relatives had no power, which made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even more reassured. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still made Liu Fuling the crown prince, or let Mrs. Gou Yi die, so as to avoid future troubles.
It is generally a coincidence that Liu Fuling became the crown prince, if it were not for the fact that his two sons died first, and the other three sons did not compete for the crown prince, Liu Fuling would not have become the crown prince.
