Liu Che was made a prince at the age of seven. Under the careful cultivation of Wei Wan, who is highly respected and versatile, Liu Che is literate, energetic and open-minded, meeting all the standards of a prosperous monarch. In BC 14 1 year, Emperor Jingdi died, and Liu Che succeeded to the throne at the age of 16. He died in 87 BC and reigned for 54 years.
During the reign of Liu Che, many achievements were made. Internally, in order to strengthen centralization, we promulgated favor decrees, formulated left-official laws and supplementary interest laws, and strictly prohibited governors from participating in politics; Recruit talented people in an eclectic way, and promote talented people to be attendants preparation consultants; Reducing the power of the prime minister, relying on cronies and cronies to participate in decision-making, thus forming a political system of internal Korea (China) and external Korea; Set up the secretariat department of thirteen States to strengthen the control of the county; In order to solve the financial difficulties, the monetary system was reformed, counties and States were forbidden to cast money, and the system of salt and iron official operation and even loss was implemented.

Liu Che was an emperor who was brave in innovation and pioneering. He developed the largest territory of the Han Dynasty and made brilliant achievements. At the beginning of Emperor Wudi's accession to the throne, the Western Han Dynasty experienced more than 60 years of recuperation, social peace, sufficient treasury and stable people's livelihood. Ascending to the throne in such a Taiping dynasty, coupled with the extraordinary intelligence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, should have further created a prosperous situation of going abroad to strengthen the people and enrich the people. Regrettably, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ruled the Western Han Dynasty for more than 50 years, and its territory expanded for thousands of miles, there were problems such as the rise of bandits and the poverty of the people in the country.
Liu Che was superstitious about immortals, and was keen on seclusion, Zen and suburban worship. He visited many places and spent a lot of money. In his later years in power, social contradictions became increasingly acute, with two million refugees in Kanto and frequent peasant uprisings. There was a "witch disaster" in the imperial court, which led to easy suicide. Zheng He wrote to the platform four years ago (89 years ago) and rejected Sang Hongyang's suggestion of raising people and farming.
Liu Che killed too much in his later years, and he was very regretful. Li Guang's attack on the Huns was unfavorable, and the whole army was wiped out, so he could not seek immortality. Besides, because of witchcraft, his father and son ate each other, and Liu Yuxin committed suicide. All kinds of blows made Emperor Wu disheartened and regretted what he had done in the past. At Luntai Palace, I issued a "confession" to show my mistake. Therefore, the world gradually restored harmony, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of Zhao Xuan and ZTE.
Liu Che reigned for 54 years, which was the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty. He was brilliant and his martial arts were unparalleled, which made the Han Dynasty the most powerful country in the world at that time. During his reign, the Western Han Empire was stronger than the Roman Empire. It not only consolidated the unified centralized feudal society in China, established a unified multi-ethnic country with the Han nationality as the main body, promoted the unity of the whole people, strengthened the exchanges between China and the West, and formed the famous Silk Road, but also expanded the territory of China, becoming the undisputed center of world civilization and one of the greatest times in the history of the Chinese nation.
