After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the rulers have been trying to find ways to develop social productivity.

The emergence of the rule of Wenjing can be said to be a trend in the social development of the Western Han Dynasty.So what is the reason for the emergence of Wenjing Zhizhi?

First of all, Emperor Wenwen and Emperor Han Jing paid special attention to the development of agricultural production. On the basis of inheriting the "rest with the people" during the Han Gaozu period, they issued many edicts to reduce farmers' land rent and corvee.

Emperor Wen Wen even lowered the original low tax rate of "one tax per [-] years" to "one tax per thirty", which greatly reduced the burden on farmers.And he is persuading Nongsang.

It also opened up the country's mountains, forests and rivers, encouraged farmers to develop sideline businesses, and allowed commercial circulation.

Secondly, they reformed the law. They abolished many cruel and inhumane criminal laws during the Qin Dynasty, such as the cruel and dismembered criminal laws such as the law of sitting together and splitting cars.

Han Wendi and Han Wudi were particularly frugal. Their basic necessities of life were simple and simple, and they opposed extravagance and waste. They have been in power for more than 40 years, and they have never done large-scale construction and waste money.

The reason for the emergence of a prosperous age is not necessarily a single one, it is closely related to many factors.

It is inevitable that the creators of the prosperous age must be diligent and noble.

The way they think about problems is not one-sidedly starting from themselves, but to take into account all aspects and then make the best decision.

Therefore, the reason for the emergence of the rule of Wenjing is largely related to the diligence of Emperor Wenwen and Emperor Hanjing, and the people had just experienced the war at that time.

They longed for a stable life in their hearts, and Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing gave them such an opportunity, and also gave them many discounts, so the people would naturally seize this opportunity.

A country will prosper according to the will of the people, and this is how the rule of Wenjing appeared.

The measures adopted by Han Wendi and Han Jing to govern the Western Han Dynasty can be summarized as "the rule of Wen and Jing" by later generations, and they praised it as the first peaceful and prosperous age in the history of Chinese feudal society.

What kind of results did the rule of Wenjing bring to the development of the Western Han Dynasty?

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the population of the big princes was about [-] households, and the small ones were no more than five or six hundred households.

However, in the era of Wenjing, the policy of recuperating and recuperating allowed many displaced residents to return to their hometowns, and there was also a policy of light corvee and low tax, so the population grew very fast.

As a result, a few years later, the population of the big Hou country reached [-] to [-] households, which was several times higher than before, and the domestic household registration of the small Hou country also doubled.

During the reign of Wen Jing, the development of agriculture was very encouraged, and preferential treatment was given to farmers repeatedly. Therefore, farmers were highly motivated to produce and their grain output increased a lot.

For a period of time, the price of grain plummeted, and Emperor Wen adopted the policy of "expensive millet" to purchase excess grain and store it in the warehouse.Later, according to the "Hanshu" records, due to too much grain, it was backlogged in the granary, causing a lot of grain to rot and cannot be eaten.

The increase in population and the excess of food reflected the social and economic prosperity at that time from the side.

Emperor Wen of Han was the fourth son of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty.

In 196 BC, he was named Daiwang, and in 180 BC he officially ascended the throne as Emperor Wen of Han.

After he came to the throne, he not only had excellent self-cultivation and plain clothes, but also worked hard at the national level, for the country and the people, building water conservancy, abolishing corporal punishment, etc., created the first prosperity since ancient Chinese feudal dynasties.

It laid a solid foundation for the grand occasion of the "Government of Wenjing" in the future.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Liu Qi was the child of Emperor Wen and a daughter of the Dou family. He succeeded to the throne in 157 BC. He was deeply influenced by his father. "The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms".

To a certain extent, the contradictions of the country were alleviated and the centralization of power was strengthened, so that the people had a rare peace. Economically, the policy of "resting with the people" continued to be pursued, and production was developed.

After Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu Liu Che created the "Han Wu Prosperity" on the previous basis, which brought China at that time to a new height.

But there are still emperors' methods behind these few rulers who ruled Mingjun in the "Government of Wenjing" and "The Prosperity of Han and Wu".From ancient times to the present, the implementation of the New Deal and the reforms are full of bloody events.

Once the interests of others are touched, there will inevitably be struggle behind it. What is needed at this time is not kindness, but the cruelty of "denial of the six relatives", the cruelty that belongs only to the emperor.

During the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, because the economy had improved to a certain extent, the country was peaceful for a period of time. At this time, hostile forces appeared, and Emperor Jing used his own cruel methods to resolve these crises one by one, and finally achieved hegemony.

Liang Wang Liu Wu was the vassal king of Liang State in the Western Han Dynasty, but his identity is extremely special.

To a certain extent, the succession of Emperor Wenwen of Han had an element of luck. When Empress Lu was in power, people in the court were not in harmony and the government was chaotic.

When Empress Lu died, the dragons had no leader, and the Han Dynasty was in chaos. Some old officials supported Liu Heng, the acting king, and returned to Beijing to succeed him. However, the empress and the four sons left by the empress died successively.

In desperation, the most favored concubine, Dou Shi, had to be made the queen. Dou's daughter gave birth to Liu Heng's two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Wu.

Things that seemed to be logical, changed after the death of Emperor Han Wen.

The first is Empress Dou. Before she entered the palace, her family was poor. After entering the palace after suffering all kinds of human sufferings, she was sent to serve Empress Lu by accident.

At that time, Empress Lu was in full swing, and her ears and eyes made her very obsessed with power. After becoming a queen, she participated in political decision-making many times.

As for the two children, he preferred the youngest son Liu Wu. After the death of his husband, the eldest son's succession always made him feel unwilling, so he negotiated with Emperor Han Jing many times to make his younger brother Liu Wu the prince.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was gentle by nature, and it was because of this that he won the appreciation of his father and passed on the throne to him. As the biological mother of the two, Empress Dou knew her son's character too well.

In the three years of Emperor Han Jing, there has been no crown prince. Empress Dowager Dou took the opportunity to let Liu Wu enter the palace, and put pressure on Emperor Jing many times. At this time, Emperor Han Jing finally found himself in danger.

And what is disappointing is that it all came from the people closest to him, so this gentle monarch started his own journey of blackening.

In the third year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, because of the promulgation of the "Plan to Cut Fans", which weakened the power of various princes and kings, it caused great dissatisfaction among the princes and states. Among them, Liu Bi, the most powerful king of Wu among the princes, secretly minted money privately.

Boiling salt and selling treason was quite obvious. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty followed Chao Cuo's suggestion and first seized the two counties of Kuaiji and Yuzhang in the state of Wu. ".

But Emperor Jing Liu Qi had already thought of countermeasures, and first cut Chao Cuo in the waist by deception, so that the "Qing Emperor's side" of the princes and kings of the Seven Kingdoms came out of nowhere.

Then he promised that Liu Wu, the king of Liang, would be his younger brother, and that he would pass on the throne to him in the future, so that Liu Wu and Liu Bi would fight.

Afterwards, Liang Wang Liu Wu's vitality was seriously injured, and because of the influence of "cutting the vassal policy",
The feudal lands of his own vassal states were confiscated, but Emperor Jing, who had no "foreign enemies", dealt with him with all his strength. The poor Liang King was forced to hide in the Princess's mansion for a while, and died in depression.

The next year, Emperor Jing Liu Qi canonized the prince, but the candidate was not Liu Wu, but his eldest son Liu Rong.Apparently, Liu Wu was being played honestly.

"We are born from the same root, so why bother each other?" However, it seems cruel to kill a brother, but it is actually a helpless act.Considering that Liang Wang Liu Wu is deeply loved by his mother, he considered letting his younger brother replace him while he was still in power. No matter which emperor he is, he can't stand such a "sense of crisis".

Moreover, under the environment of implementing the New Deal, King Liang himself had a conflict of interest with his own "policy of reducing vassal vassals", so indirectly killing people with a knife was the best result for Emperor Jing to kill two birds with one stone.

After cleaning up all his current enemies, Han Jingdi Liu Qi's thoughts gradually matured. He was no longer the gentle and kind child in his father's eyes.

He gradually realized that no matter how peaceful the environment he was in, there were hidden people who were eyeing the throne. If he wanted to create a legendary story like his father, he would inevitably face these enemies head-on, and in extraordinary times, no matter the opponent There are some extraordinary measures that can be taken.
