Princess Liu Ling had a prominent position, so she easily entered the upper class at that time. On the wedding day of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Liu Ling and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty had a love affair, but Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was very indifferent to Liu Ling, so Liu Ling hated Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and it may be a deep hatred. Liu Ling began to run for his father's dream of emperor, trying to overthrow Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Perhaps this is the original motive of Liu Ling's unscrupulous spying on information. Later, Liu Ling had a very close relationship with many powerful people, which provided him with many benefits, and the greatest benefit was to obtain very valuable information.
As a weak woman, Liu Ling paid a considerable price for her father's career. Later, when Emperor Wu mentioned Liu Ling, he was very disdainful. I think Emperor Wu, as a gifted scholar, knew what Liu Ling had done, but ignored it, indicating that Emperor Wu felt that he could not shake the foundation of his big fellow at all, which may also be because of one-night stand.
Later, Liu An failed in rebellion and committed suicide by taking poison in his own palace. Liu Ling was also arrested and imprisoned. Hearing the news of his father's death, Liu Ling swallowed gold in despair and ended his young and beautiful life. This year is 122 BC.
There is a real person in history. She is the daughter of Liu An, the king of Huainan. As a daughter, Liu Ling can live in Chang 'an. At that time, the relationship between men and women was quite casual Therefore, Liu Ling made a wide range of friends in Chang 'an, which can be said to be a very famous social butterfly at that time. She was like a duck to water in the upper class at that time, spying for her father. Later, King Huainan was defeated and killed, and Liu Ling also swallowed gold.
Whether Liu Ling in history is really the romantic princess mentioned in the TV series "Hanwu the Great", we have no way to verify it today. There are few records about Liu Ling in the history books. A history book "Biography of Hengshan Mountain in Huainan" only records one sentence: the king of Huainan has a female tomb and is intelligent and eloquent. Wang Ailing, who often gives more money, has an appointment with him in Chang 'an. From this sentence, we know that Liu Ling is a real person, and she is very clever and eloquent. Liu An, the king of Huainan, likes this daughter very much, and often gives Liu Ling a lot of money to let Liu Ling live in Chang 'an to help his father manage various relationships and make various people in Beijing. As for whether Liu Ling is a romantic princess, there is no detailed record in the history books.
Personally, I think it is credible to say that Liu Ling is a romantic princess. Because as a woman, especially a beautiful woman, but also a talented woman, in the male world, seeking new friends, as a social butterfly, is very easy to be put on a romantic hat, and caution is inevitable. In fact, there is no need to be cautious. Liu Ling, an unmarried daughter, can be with people she likes, including Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is inherently dirty in history.
Liu Ling was the daughter of Liu An, the king of Huainan during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. She is beautifully dressed and eloquent, so she is very popular with her father Liu An. Liu An has the ambition of being an emperor. If Liu An met a slightly weaker emperor instead of a brilliant Emperor Wu, maybe his dream of emperor can be realized, which is a pity. With Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu An could only fail, and Liu Ling's fate would be logical.
Liu Ling is the daughter of Liu An, but as a woman, Liu Ling can live in the capital of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Ling lives in Chang 'an, while Liu Ling, who lives in Chang 'an, wanders among dignitaries. In our modern words, she is a social butterfly, and many men like this flower. Liu Ling is also a restless woman, or a woman who likes power, so when Liu Ling married Emperor Wu, she had that kind of thing between men and women, and even wanted to stop the marriage of Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a man who loved mountains and rivers more than beauty. If he can't finish the wedding, he can't be an emperor smoothly. So Emperor Wu and Liu Ling went to the wedding soon, but Liu Ling's plan failed, which was very disappointing. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still a teenager who could not make his own decisions. No one could see that he was a wise king.
After Liu Ling's plan to seduce Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty failed, he stayed in Chang 'an not only because of his own ambition, but also because of his father Liu An's ambition. Liu An provided a lot of money for Liu Ling to spy on information in the imperial city and make good friends with him, hoping to become a monarch one day, but then things were exposed, Liu An was killed and committed suicide, and a generation of jiaozi also died.
