Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who lived in Jianzhang Palace, saw a man with a sword entering the Zhonglonghua Gate, suspected that it was an unusual person, so he ordered someone to capture it. The man abandoned his sword and fled, but the guards pursued him but failed to capture him. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and put to death the gate who was in charge of the entrance and exit of the palace gate. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty requisitioned cavalry from the Sanfu region to conduct a large-scale search of Shanglin Yuan, and ordered the Chang'an City Gate to be closed for search, and martial law was lifted eleven days later. Witchcraft events began to appear.

Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, used 19 million military funds without authorization, and was arrested and imprisoned after the defeat. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to arrest Zhu Anshi, a hero of Yangling, and Gongsun He captured Zhu Anshi and transferred him to the imperial court in order to atone for his son's crimes. It was reported that Zhu Anshi wrote a letter in prison, claiming that Gongsun Jingsheng had an affair with Princess Yangshi and buried wooden figures on the road to curse the emperor. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and Gongsun He's father and son died in prison, and they were beheaded all over the house. Princess Yangshi, Princess Zhuyi, and Wei Qing's son, Marquis Wei of Changping, were implicated and killed one after another.

At this time, the monks and all kinds of gods and witches gathered in Chang'an, the capital division, and most of them used the fantasy and evil magic of the left side door to confuse everyone, and did everything. Some witches came to the palace and taught the beauties how to avoid disasters, burying wooden figures in each room and performing sacrifices. When they quarrel because of mutual jealousy, they take turns to accuse each other of cursing the emperor and rebelling. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and executed the accused, killing hundreds of harem concubines, palace maids, and implicated ministers.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became suspicious, once, taking a nap during the day, he dreamed that there were thousands of wooden people holding sticks and wanted to attack him, Huo Ran woke up, and since then he felt unwell, in a trance, and his memory has been greatly reduced. Jiang Chong thought that he had a disagreement with the crown prince Liu Ju and Empress Wei, and seeing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was old, he was afraid that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would be killed by Liu Ju after his death, so he made a conspiracy, saying that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's illness was caused by witchcraft. Immediately send Jiang Chong to investigate.

Jiang Chong led the Hu sorcerers to dig everywhere to find the wooden people, and arrested those who used witchcraft to harm people. Jiang Chong searched the residence of Empress Wei and the crown prince Liu Ju, and took out the wooden man prepared in advance to frame the prince. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was recuperating in Ganquan Palace and was not in Chang'an.

Liu Ju sent people to pretend to be envoys to arrest Jiang Chong and others, and killed Jiang Chong. Su Wen fled to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and complained to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty against Liu Ju, who did not believe this at first and sent a messenger to summon Liu Ju, but the envoy did not dare to go to Liu Ju, and reported to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the prince had become a prince and wanted to behead the ministers, and the ministers fled back. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and ordered Prime Minister Liu Quyu to lead troops to quell the rebellion. Liu Ju led people away, forcibly armed about tens of thousands of citizens of the four cities of Chang'an, and outside the west gate of Changle Palace, he encountered the army led by Liu Quchao, and fought fiercely with the prime minister's army for five days, and tens of thousands of people died. There were rumors in Chang'an City that the prince rebelled, so people did not dare to attach themselves to Liu Ju, but Liu Quchao's side of the army continued to strengthen, and in the end, Liu Ju was alone and weak, and the army was defeated, so he had to flee Chang'an.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was extremely angry, and only the three elders of Huguan Ling Gu Mao dared to write to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to redress Liu Ju's grievances.

Liu Ju fled east to Huxian and hid in Quanjiu. The owner's family was poor, and he often knitted and sold straw sandals to support Liu Ju. Liu had a former acquaintance who lived in Hu County, and when he heard that he was very rich, the prince sent someone to call him, so the news leaked; , the magistrate rounded up Liu Ju; Liu knew that he would not be able to escape, so he returned to the house and hanged himself; The master fought and died in a fight with the prince who searched for him, and the two emperors and grandsons were also killed.

Liu Ju had three sons and one daughter, all of whom were killed due to the witch rebellion, and Liu Jin, the son of Liu Ju and the grandson of Emperor Shi, had a son Liu Zhi who survived and was still in infancy, and later changed his name to Liu Xun and was Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

For a long time, there are many witches who don't believe in it. Officials and ordinary people denounced each other for the crime of witchcraft and harm, and after investigation, it was found that most of them were untrue. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that Liu Ju was only panicked and had no intention of rebellion, and Gao Lang Tian Qianqiu sued Liu Ju unjustly: The son makes his father's soldiers, and the crime should be flogged; The son of heaven has killed people by mistake, why not! The minister tasted a dream of a pulsatilla to teach the minister. So Emperor Huo Ran of the Han Dynasty woke up and immediately appointed Tian Qianqiu as the Great Honglu, and ordered Jiang Manmen to be beheaded and Su Wen burned to death on the cross bridge. Those who had fought against Liu were also killed one after another. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took pity on Liu Ju's innocence, so he sent people to build a palace in Huxian County, called Si Womb and built a high platform, called the platform of returning to Wangsi, so as to send his thoughts about Liu Ju and the two grandsons, and the world was sad when he heard it.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed to seek immortals in his later years, and because of the scourge of witches, father and son killed each other, and the crown prince Liu Ju committed suicide, all kinds of blows made Emperor Wu disheartened and regretted what he had done in the past. After ascending Mount Tai and worshipping the Ming Hall, since Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he has acted rebelliously, making the world sad and unrepentant. From now on, those who harm the people and waste the world will stop it! to show that you admit your mistakes. As a result, the world gradually returned to harmony, laying the foundation for the prosperity of Zhaoxuan Zhongxing.

In 88 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the painter to draw a picture of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty and gave it to Huo Guang, which meant that Huo Guang would assist his youngest son Liu Fuling as emperor. During this time, Liu Fuling's mother, Mrs. Hook Yi, was guilty; was reprimanded and died in Yunyang Palace. It is generally believed that the son is young and the mother is strong, and in order to prevent Mrs. Gou Yi from repeating the situation of Empress Lu's system, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found an excuse to execute her.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up Liu Fuling as the crown prince on the occasion of his death, and on the day of Ding Mao four days later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died in the Wuqi Palace, Huo Guang officially accepted the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became the auxiliary minister of Liu Fuling of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. His successors, Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, insisted on implementing the policy of resting with the people formulated by Emperor Wu in his later years, so in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a situation of Zhaoxuan Zhongxing, which was praised by later generations.
