Abstract
The King Wu's Prince, Liu Xian was killed in the 4th year or the 5th year during the ruling of the Emperor Wen. The reason of his being killed was his own fault. The Emperor Wen did not replace Prince Liu Qi or replace the Legalist school by Confucians round the Prince; Chao Cuo occupied the Magistrate of the family of the Prince because Emperor Wen was fond of the Legalist school. Although the status of the Prince Liu Qi did not change, his killing of King Wu's Prince aroused King Wu's discontent emotion. That Chao Cuo was appointed as the Magistrate of the Prince did not imply that the politic of Emperor Wen would be changing. However, the tough policy quickened the seven-nation's insurgence headed by King Wu.
