Liu Ling is a real person in history. She is the daughter of Liu An, King of Huainan. It is precisely because she is a daughter that Liu Ling can live in Chang'an. At that time, the relationship between men and women was relatively casual, so Liu Ling made many friends in Chang'an. It can be said that she was a very famous social butterfly at that time. She thrived in the upper class society of the time and worked as a spy for her father. Later, King Huainan was defeated and killed, and Liu Ling swallowed her own money.
Whether Liu Ling in history was really a romantic princess as mentioned in the TV series Emperor Wu of Han, we have no way of verifying it today. There are few records about Liu Ling in history books. The Biography of Huainan Hengshan in the Historical Records only records one sentence: "The king of Huainan has a female tomb, who is wise and eloquent. Wang Ailing, who often gives more money, is in the middle of Chang'an." From this sentence, we know that only Liu Ling is a real person, And she is very smart and eloquent. Liu An, the king of Huainan, liked his daughter very much. He often gave Liu Ling a lot of money and asked her to live in Chang'an and help her father manage various relationships in the capital and make friends with various people. As for whether Liu Ling was a romantic princess, there is no detailed record in the history books.
I personally think it is more credible to say that Liu Ling is a romantic princess. Because as a woman, especially a beautiful woman, a learned woman, she searches for news and makes friends in the male world. As a social butterfly, it is very easy to be labeled as romantic, and it is unavoidable to be careful. In fact, there is no need to be cautious. Liu Ling is an unmarried woman who can be with the people she likes, including Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. She was born into history.
How did Liu Ling die in history?
Liu Ling was the daughter of Liu An, King of Huainan during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. She was born into a noble family and held the title of princess. Liu Ling is a beautiful woman and an eloquent woman. As the saying goes: "A fair lady is a gentleman." I think many men like such a woman who combines beauty and eloquence, so it can be said that Liu Ling was like a fish in water in the upper class society at that time.
It is said that Liu Ling’s father loves Liu Ling very much. I think the reason why he loves Liu Ling is that Liu Ling and his father Liu An have the same ambition, so I say Liu Ling is also an ambitious woman. Her father gave Liu Ling a lot of money and asked him to make friends with heroes in Chang'an. It can be said that Liu Ling did a good job and provided her father with a lot of valuable information. If it weren't for the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I think Liu An might have realized his dream. However, Liu An met the emperor of the Han Dynasty, a wise monarch. Therefore, Liu An's dream can only be called ambition and failure.
According to historical records of the TV series, Liu An committed suicide after his defeat and was also arrested and imprisoned. When Liu Ling heard that her father had committed suicide, she lost the courage to live. Before the trial, Liu Ling committed suicide by swallowing gold. A generation of romantic and suave girls died like this, which made people sigh with regret.
What is the relationship between Liu Ling and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty?
Liu Ling was the daughter of Liu An, King of Huainan during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. She is well-dressed and well-spoken, so she is very popular with her father Liu An. Liu An has the ambition to be emperor. If Liu An met not a talented emperor, but a weaker one, maybe his dream of being emperor could come true, but the timing was wrong. With Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu An could only fail, and Liu Ling's fate was naturally the same.
Liu Ling is Liu An's daughter, but as a woman, Liu Ling can live in the capital of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Ling lives in Chang'an, and Liu Ling who lives in Chang'an travels among dignitaries. between. In our modern terms, Liu Ling is a social butterfly. Many men like this kind of showy woman. Liu Ling is also a restless woman, or a woman who likes power, so Liu Ling had that kind of thing with Emperor Wu of Han when she got married, and even wanted to stop Emperor Wu of Han's wedding. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a man who loved mountains and rivers more than beauty. If he cannot get married, then he cannot successfully become emperor. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty soon married Liu Ling, but Liu Ling's plan failed, which made him very disappointed. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still a young man who could not make his own decisions, and no one could see that he was a wise monarch.
After Liu Ling's plan to seduce Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed, she stayed in Chang'an, not only because of her own ambitions, but also because of the ambitions of her father Liu An. Liu An provided a large amount of money to Liu Ling to spy on intelligence in the imperial capital and hand over good officials, hoping to one day become a monarch. But later things were revealed, Liu An was killed, Liu Ling committed suicide, and a generation of beautiful girls died.
