Although History as a Mirror constructed historical events,Emperor Han Wu experienced a change in military strategy in his later years not out of his original intention but due to the compulsion of war defeat.Moreover,this military change did not represent a complete transformation of Emperor Han Wu and Emperor Han Zhao's reign;instead,its core was the adoption of a"profiting"policy aimed at easing the burden on the people.Following a severe illness in middle age,Emperor Han Wu expended considerable resources on palace construction and distant pilgrimages under the guise of seeking divine favor,which significantly impacted fiscal policies.Many of Emperor Han Wu's"profiting"policies stemmed from these extravagant expenses rather than a focus on conquering the Huns.His relentless pursuit of immortality did little to alleviate the people's burdens,and it was the Huo Guang Group that eventually reversed this trend.
