Liu Qi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had many sons. Why did he pass on the throne to his tenth son?

Because Liu Che, ranked 10th, is the only prince of Han Jingdi. Han Jingdi's original queen was a thin queen, but the thin queen has never been pregnant since she married him. By BC 15 1 year, the thin queen who had no children or pets was finally deposed. It is said that before the abolition of the thin queen in BC 153, Emperor Han Jing actually established a prince. The prince named Liu Rong was born to Li Ji, the favorite concubine of Han Jing. Although Liu Rong was a concubine, there were no children between the thin queens, so she was made a prince as the eldest son of the emperor.

Liu Rong and his mother Li Ji were very popular at first, but Li Ji later became Liu Pu's target because she refused to marry his sister Liu Pu. Under the attack of Liu Pu, Liu Rong and Li Ji gradually fell out of favor, while Liu Che, the tenth prince, and his mother's concubine Wang Hao gradually fell out of favor. Liu Piao, who failed to get married with Li Ji, later reached a marriage agreement with Wang Yi, so Liu Piao defended Yihe Wang and Liu Che everywhere and vilified Li Ji and Liu Rong. It is precisely because of this that Han Jing's love for Liu Che's mother and son will grow day by day.

Because of Liu Pu's dissension and Li Ji's narrow-mindedness, she and Liu Rong finally fell out of favor in 15 1 BC. This year, shortly after Queen Bo was abolished, Wang Yi deliberately made people persuade him to make Li Ji the queen in front of Jingdi. At this time, I was very annoyed that Jingdi, who had been complaining for a long time, mistakenly thought that this person was instigated. To this end, he not only executed the suitor, but also alienated Li Ji.

In addition, Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty officially ordered Liu Rong to be deposed as a prince in the first month of 150 BC. Then, in April this year, Wang Di officially became the queen. After she became queen, her only son, Liu Che, naturally became the first prince. With his status as a prince and the love of Emperor Han Jing, Liu Che was officially established as a prince in a few days.
