Why was Han Yan, the youngest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, killed by the Queen Mother?

His position is not small. He is the illegitimate child of Gong Gaohou and Han Huangcun. He and Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, grew up together and had deep feelings. When Liu Che proclaimed himself emperor, he paid more attention to Han Yan and gave him many "privileges" besides many rewards. And Han Yan's death, it is because of this.

You said that the partner you grew up with, one day you came to power, would you abandon him? The answer is definitely not. After all, affection is the most important thing, but Han Yan is really a man who pushes his luck. He not only used the emperor's relationship to do evil, but also set himself free and did whatever he wanted. He doesn't know how many people have been angered by such indulgence.

In the fourth year of Jianyuan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty prepared to go out hunting. Because the emperor needed someone to guide and disperse pedestrians, Han Yan was given this important task. So hundreds of cavalry followed Han Yan's imperial car. At this time, a motorcade appeared at the other end of the road. He is an army of King Liu Fei of Jiangdu, and he plans to visit the emperor in Beijing.

When Liu Fei saw the imperial car, he mistook it for the emperor. He quickly ordered his followers to make way and knelt on the side of the road to meet him. Han Yan didn't pay attention to the car, and naturally he wouldn't get off to explain this misunderstanding. Later, after meeting the real emperor, Liu Fei looked surprised.

It turns out that the person who just met is not an emperor, but a small courtier. He felt very angry and ran to complain to the Queen Mother. After explaining the cause and effect of the incident, the queen mother patted the table and said, "This man is really courageous!" As a result, the Queen Mother began to bear a grudge against Han Yan, but she couldn't find a reason to blame him.

According to Records of the Historian, Han Yan was loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was able to serve him, so he often went in and out of Yongle Lane where maids lived. Over time, I developed feelings with the ladies-in-waiting, and it finally reached the ears of the Queen Mother. I'm afraid I can't get you. Great, I'll start by myself.

The Queen Mother directly ordered Han Yan to be beheaded, although repeated intercession by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not help.

Finally, I can only say that Han Yan deserved to die. He should have kept a low profile, so it was hard not to cause public outrage.
