In this episode of pplpod, we explore the colossal 54-year reign of Emperor Wu of Han (Liu Che), a ruler whose legacy shaped China for two millennia. We trace his journey from a young prince who secured his future with a childhood promise to keep his bride in a "golden house", to becoming the "Martial Emperor" who doubled the empire's territory and established China as a global power,.
Join us as we discuss Emperor Wu’s massive achievements, including his defeat of the nomadic Xiongnu, the opening of the Silk Road, and his elevation of Confucianism to the status of state philosophy,,. However, we also delve into the tragic unraveling of his later years. We examine his desperate and costly search for immortality, his harsh legalist punishments, and the paranoia that led to the infamous witchcraft persecutions,,.
Finally, we look at the family tragedy that defined his end—the forced suicide of his heir, Crown Prince Ju, and his empress,—and his unprecedented public apology, the Repenting Edict of Luntai, which cemented his complex legacy as both a brilliant visionary and a ruthless despot,.
