Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is called the "stupid emperor" in history. Why do you say this about him?

?I regret that Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han were slightly less talented in literature? This sentence is a full affirmation of the achievements of Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the king with the most outstanding achievements among the ancient feudal dynasties. This is a common impression everyone has on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But some people say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the stupidest king in history. This statement is well-founded. The final demise of the Han Dynasty is inseparable from some actions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The eunuchs in the Han Dynasty had exclusive power, and wars between princes were everywhere. These were all hidden dangers left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In fact, eunuchs did not have a very high status. They were just small people around the king who were responsible for daily life and food. They could not participate in government affairs or hold official positions in the court. However, the status of eunuchs was greatly improved during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted the status of eunuchs, leaving a very wrong direction for the subsequent kings of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a role model for the descendants of the Han Dynasty. Many people imitated his method of governing the country. The promotion of the status of eunuchs also continued for future kings of the Han Dynasty, which eventually led to the situation of eunuchs monopolizing power and causing chaos in government.

No one is perfect, no one is perfect, no one is perfect. This is true for the king who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and the same is true for the majestic and generous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. From a political and military perspective, he made many achievements. But he also had many shortcomings, which contributed to the demise of the Han Dynasty. However, we cannot deny the achievements made by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Merits and faults should be viewed separately.

The greatest achievement of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the Arctic Xiongnu. It solved the hidden dangers of the Han Dynasty for many years, fundamentally solved the border problems of the Han Dynasty, and eliminated the Xiongnu, the biggest enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to drive out the Xiongnu and his way of employing people was inseparable. The general who eliminated the Xiongnu was Wei Qing. He was originally a slave. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty never asked about his origin when hiring people, only based on his ability. In this way, Wei Qing could stand out among the crowd and make great contributions to the Han Dynasty.
