In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became increasingly groggy, and all his former talents were consumed by wine and color. The concubines in the harem scrambled to try to use witchcraft to please and keep the emperor's heart. The technique of witchcraft spread secretly in the harem. In 92 BC, the disaster of witchcraft began to appear. The reason is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw a suspicious man in the palace, but the guards failed to catch him. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very suspicious, so he was worried about this matter and suspected that someone in the hidden palace was going to assassinate the king.
A criminal arrested by the post-government revealed that Gong Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gong Sunhe, had an affair with him and cursed Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty with witchcraft. After investigation, the allegations were confirmed to be true. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious. Gong Sunhe and his son were imprisoned and punished, and even Princess Shi Yang and Princess Zhu Yi were executed.
The case was originally closed, but it was used by villains with ulterior motives, which eventually led to the outbreak of witchcraft, even involving the prince and queen of the dynasty, which triggered a political storm in the court. This villain is Jiang Chong, a favorite around Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. By investigating witchcraft, Jiang Chong arrested officials who were at odds with him, and a large number of officials died.
Because there is a gap between Jiang Chong and Liu Yuxin, he framed the Prince by witchcraft, and ordered people to find a large number of Woodenhead with spells written in her womb, ready to take the opportunity to bring down the Prince. After learning the news, Liu Yuxin was very anxious and afraid. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved to Ganquan Palace to cultivate self-cultivation, fearing that Emperor Wu would listen to the slanderers of villains under unknown circumstances, and could not clarify his grievances at all. In a panic, he followed the advice of his counselor and mobilized troops to arrest Jiang Chong and kill him. At this time, the palace has been in chaos, rumors are everywhere, and people are talking about it? The prince rebelled? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was far away from Ganquan Palace, also learned the news and sent troops to counter the rebellion. Seeing the imminent danger, Liu Yuxin led the army and launched a bloody battle with the troops sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Finally, the prince was defeated and fled, and was killed on the way to escape. His mother-in-law queen was implicated and sentenced to death.
In 90 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly realized that the Prince had died unjustly. He vented his anger on the villain Jiang Chong and beheaded him. Therefore, the disaster of witchcraft involves a wide range, resulting in a river of blood. Chu Jun's unjust death shook the foundation of the country. But for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as long as it does not endanger his imperial power, it can be ignored.
