Emperor Jing

Japanese: 景帝 - けいてい

187 BCE - 141 BCE
China, former Han Emperor Liu Qi of the Dynasty. Reigned 157-141 BC. Son of Emperor Wen, his mother was Empress Dou. When he was made crown prince, he was praised for being purely kind and compassionate. In 154 BC, seven kings, including King Liu Bi of Wu and King Liu Bo of Chu, rebelled against him after he tried to reduce the territories of the various feudal lords by using the advice of the Legalist criminal Bi Zhuo. This rebellion is known as the Wu-Chu Seven States Rebellion. Grand Marshal Zhou Yafu was sent to put down the rebellion. As a result, most of the powerful feudal lords were wiped out, a centralized system was established, and this laid the foundation for the great development of the Han Empire during the reign of Emperor Wu.

前187‐前141
中国，前漢代皇帝劉啓。在位，前157‐前141年。文帝の子，母は竇（とう）皇后である。立太子のときの評語として純厚慈仁とある。法家刑名の徒である鼂錯（ちようそ）の言を入れ，諸侯王の領土を削減しようとしたことから，前154年に呉王劉濞（りゆうび），楚王劉戊ら七王が反乱を起こした。これを呉楚七国の乱という。太尉周亜夫を派遣して鎮圧した。この結果，有力な諸侯王はおおむね滅亡し，中央集権体制が実質的に確立し，つぎの武帝時代の漢帝国の大発展を基礎づけた。
