After Liu Fuling's death, many historians believe that Huo Guang was trusted by Zhao Di. Su Zhe even said that Liu Fuling's short life was Huo Guang's fault. Therefore, many people in later generations used conspiracy theories to explain Liu Fuling's death, and analyzed that Liu Fuling, who died suddenly, was a homicide, and the murderer was most likely Huo Guang. For example, Liu Fuling was poisoned by Liu Xun, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Huo Guang was one of the people who killed him. Others think that Huo Guang killed Liu Fuling because Liu Fuling was not born to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It is rumored that Liu Fuling was pregnant at birth 14 months, which does not conform to scientific common sense. So they speculated that the task of entrusting an orphan to Huo Guang before the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty included finding out the matter, and secretly killing Liu Fuling after finding out the truth about his life in Huo Guang. Therefore, after the death of Liu Fuling in history, Huo Guang immediately made Liu He, the eldest son of Emperor Wu, emperor. However, this view is far-fetched, and more people think that Huo Guang killed Liu Fuling for power. Although there are different reasons to believe that Liu Fuling is the murderer, the existing historical data show that Liu Fuling's death should have nothing to do with others.
On the one hand, according to records, Liu Fuling died after a long illness, and he found many doctors but still failed to cure him, so his death was not sudden; In addition, when Liu Fuling was alive, Liu Xun lived among the people, and Huo Guang was Liu Fuling's assistant minister. Because of his trust, they had no chance and no reason to kill Liu Fuling.
In 74 BC, Liu Fuling died and was buried in Ping Ling. Ping Ling was named after being located in the plain of Han Dynasty. 200 1 was listed as the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units, and now it is also a key cultural relics protection unit in Shaanxi Province.
Due to the sudden death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the mausoleum has not yet been built, so it is said that after his death, he used 30,000 ox carts to pull sand from the Weihe River beach, which made Ping Ling successful.
Ping Ling, Liu Fuling is located in the northeast of Maoling, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty 12 miles, with an altitude of more than 500 meters. A square cemetery with a side length of 380 meters has a gate opposite to the tomb in the center of four walls, in which the west and north gates have been destroyed.
Ping Ling is a double mausoleum, with an imperial mausoleum and a rear mausoleum. Located in the center of Ping Ling, 664 meters northwest of Zhaodi Mausoleum is the tomb of the Shangguan Empress, who was later buried with Liu Fuling. The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Mausoleum of Hou Ling are similar in shape, and there is a 5-meter-wide road connecting them. The tomb of Queen Shangguan, because it was built in sufficient time, may also be the reason why Queen Shangguan is Huo Guang's granddaughter. Its scale is relatively larger than that of Zhao Di Cemetery, with a side length of 420 meters.
The cemetery in the northeast is Ping Ling paranormal, where there are many houses, and the southeast is the ruins of wandering temples. Archaeologists speculate that the construction site in the northwest corner is the grave keeper who once lived there. In the east of Ping Ling are the tombs of Emperor Zhao Di and Empress Shangguan. Only 23 of the original 57 tombs, including Dou Ying, Xiahou Sheng, Zhu Jun and others.
Although Ping Ling was built in a hurry, there are still many funerary objects. Besides ordinary gold, silver and jade articles, archaeologists also unearthed a large number of camel skeletons from Ping Ling No.2 pit, which have been preserved for more than 2,000 years.
