First, Wendi became emperor because he kept a low profile.
Wendi was not favored by his father Liu Bang when he was young, so he and his mother kept a low profile. But their mother and son also have a silver lining in every dark cloud. They are not jealous of Lv Hou.
After Liu Bang's death, Lv Hou began to wipe out Liu's people. However, Lv Hou thought that the Chinese Emperor had a low IQ and would not pose any threat to himself, so he spared the Chinese Emperor.
After the ministers of the DPRK destroyed Zhu Lu, they all wanted to find someone who didn't look too smart to be emperor.
This makes it easier for ministers to master the new emperor. Emperor Wen of Chinese is also very low-key at ordinary times, so ministers made him emperor.
Second, Emperor Wen of Han adopted a policy of recuperation.
After Emperor Wendi proclaimed himself emperor, he not only grasped the situation in North Korea in a short time, but also adopted the policy of resting at home, which gave the country a breathing space after years of war.
Because of this, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national strength kept rising, which also laid the foundation for Liang Wudi to attack the Huns later.
Third, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty abolished a lot of torture.
Emperor Wendi not only adopted a correct ethnic policy, but also abolished a lot of torture. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, due to the incomplete compilation of national laws and regulations, many aspects followed the laws inherited from the Qin Dynasty.
For example, corporal punishment in the Qin dynasty was cruel, and there is a classic story, that is? Ti Ying saved his father? .
Ti Ying's father was taken to Beijing for corporal punishment because he committed a crime, that is, his foot was cut off.
In order to save his father, Ti Ying followed his father all the way to the capital, and then wrote to Emperor China asking for exemption from corporal punishment. Considering that Ti Ying's request was really reasonable, Emperor Wendi changed corporal punishment to war punishment.
Summary: Wendi is a very forbearing and low-key person. After he became emperor, he abolished a lot of tyranny and adopted the national policy of recuperation, so Wendi was really a very wise emperor.
