Why did Emperor Wu kill Emperor Zhao's mother?

After Zhao's female boxer entered the palace, she was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, named Mrs. Gou Jian, and let her live in a very elegant palace called "Gou Jian Palace". At the same time, she also named her father Shun Chenghou and 200 families in the food city. There is Shuncheng Township in Houdongguang County, which originated from this.

To Mrs Gou's delight, two years after she entered the palace, she gave birth to a prince named Fuling. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy when he was old and regarded Fuling as the apple of his eye. A mother is precious to her son. Mrs Gou Jian was promoted to "Hao Jie" (after the Queen and Zhao Yi) and was called "Zhao Jieyu" because of her surname Zhao.

At that time, some alchemists (alchemists and fortune tellers) around Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked it, saying that Mrs. Gou Jian was pregnant 14 months before giving birth to a prince, and Emperor Yao was born 14 months, so the prince was expensive. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also convinced, so he changed the "Goujian Palace" to "Yaomu Gate", and Mrs. Goujian was also called "Yaomu", but this forced her to the grave.

In 88 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had just celebrated his seventieth birthday and felt that he was too old to be in power. But three years ago, after the Crown Prince was falsely accused of suicide, there was no Crown Prince.

Originally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had three sons who could be princes, but Fu Ling was smart and similar in appearance and personality to himself, so he deliberately abdicated to Fu Ling, but he was worried that Fu Ling was young (only 7 years old) and that once he succeeded to the throne, his mother would be autocratic and a second "Lv Hou" would appear. Wouldn't that ruin the Han Dynasty? So he decided to kill his mother first and then frame his son. So, on the one hand, he made a testamentary edict, allowing the general Huo Guang (Huo Qubing's younger brother) to inherit the throne after his death. On the other hand, he is looking for a way to kill Mrs Gou Jian.

A few days later, Emperor Wu wrote a letter to Mrs. Gou Jian, asking her to commit suicide. Mrs Gou Jian threw herself on the ground like cold water and kowtowed for mercy. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered someone to pull her out and forced her to commit suicide. Mrs. Gou Jian got up, walked and dragged, and looked back at Emperor Wu step by step, with unspeakable sadness. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was completely unmoved, and even said, "With fun, women can't live." It means you should go! I can't live anyway. In this way, 24-year-old Gou Jian was forced to die alive, but she didn't know the real reason why she was forced to commit suicide until she died.
