The curse of witchcraft was originally related to Sun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gong Sunhe. He was involved in adultery and was accused of secretly cursing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with villains. In fact, this kind of framing technique is common in history, and Yong Yang, Emperor Yangdi, was abolished in this way. Princess Zhu Huan also borrowed such a plot. But whether Gong Jingsheng was wronged or not, Yang Shi Princess and Sun Jingsheng were both killed.

Then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became more suspicious. Anyone accused of cursing him was killed by him, killing hundreds of people. It's not over yet. He was afraid that people around him would curse him, so he found a man named Jiang Chong to investigate the matter thoroughly. Jiang Chong may have a little scientific spirit, knowing in his heart that this matter cannot be investigated. But this is another good opportunity to frame political opponents. So the whole city carpet search, found that many people are doing this. Framed tens of thousands of people. He even searched the prince's palace and the emperor's harem Finally got a chance to frame the prince.

Jiang Chong found several close friends to report the prince and cursed the early death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty so that he could become emperor. The prince was very afraid, so he sent someone to arrest Jiang Chong and kill him while Emperor Wu was not in the palace at that time. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to the rumors of the prince's rebellion and sent troops to annihilate it. It is reported that Liu knew the situation was irreversible and committed suicide.

However, the disaster of witchcraft did not end there. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned that the prince was forced to do nothing but rebel. He regretted it, so he killed the man who framed the prince at the beginning, which implicated many people this time.

In a word, the root of witchcraft lies in the superstition and appointment of traitors by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. This was a serious political mistake of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty in his later years.
