隆虑公主 / Longlü Princess

Overview

隆虑公主 / Longlü Princess enters the wiki through Hanji 392-1 as 汉武帝’s sister and the mother whose protective request creates the episode’s law-versus-kinship dilemma.

Current Profile

The episode presents Longlü Princess as a late-life mother deeply worried about her only son, 赵平君. Before death, she pays a large sum into the state treasury and asks Han Wudi to spare Zhao Pingjun if he later commits a capital offense.

Her profile is therefore not one of direct political office. She matters as the source’s example of 溺爱不明: care becomes dangerous when it tries to preempt consequences rather than forming judgment and restraint. Wudi’s grief after hearing the plea shows that her request still has emotional force, but it fails as a legal claim.

Key Characteristics

• Western Han princess and Han Wudi’s close sister in the episode’s account.
• Mother of Zhao Pingjun, whom she tries to protect through a prepaid plea for future pardon.
• Source case for parental love becoming a shield that may deepen a child’s sense of exemption.
• Her request forces the ruler to choose between sibling affection and public law.

Evidence

• Family position: Hanji 392-1 identifies Longlü Princess as Han Wudi’s sister and Zhao Pingjun’s mother.
• Protective payment: Hanji 392-1 says she pays gold and cash to request future leniency for her son.
• Legal failure of the request: Hanji 392-1 says Han Wudi remembers her deathbed plea but refuses to break ancestral law.

Qualifications

The source is short and does not reconstruct Longlü Princess’s full biography, title history, or broader household politics. The transcript renders her name as “龙绿公主”; this page normalizes it to 隆虑公主 while keeping the source-scope caution in the source note.

What Changed

• Created the page from Hanji 392-1 as the maternal-protection side of Zhao Pingjun’s case.

Relationships

• 汉武帝 - brother whose legal decision overrides her deathbed request.
• 赵平君 - only son whose crime makes the request consequential.
• 陈蟜 / 陈娇 - husband named in the episode’s family background.
• 溺爱不明 - concept illustrated by her attempted preemptive protection.
• 法度压过亲缘特权 - governance pattern that ultimately defeats her plea.
