In our real life, there are not many people who dare to tell the truth, because sometimes doing so will pay a certain price, especially in those in the workplace, many times they will choose to do something against their hearts, and say some words against their hearts, if they blindly quarrel with others, there is no benefit to their future development. In the three kingdoms period of history, there was also such an official, who experienced several emperors, but because of his upright personality, he eventually fell to a fate of being killed, this person was the famous minister of Eastern Wu, Wei Zhao.
At a very young age, Wei Zhao began to learn to write articles with famous teachers, and his own intelligence was higher than that of ordinary people, he liked to write a variety of works, and later when he was an official of Eastern Wu, he was responsible for recording some historical events and humanistic anecdotes. Also in some places, served as an important official, and later was transferred to the capital to serve as a civilian, at that time many people in the imperial court, are in their leisure time like to play Go, when the monarch of the dynasty believes that this entertainment, for the governance of the country is not a little good, let Wei Zhao write an article, to say some of its disadvantages, his literary style is excellent, so received the praise of the people of the capital, the imperial court will also undergo some changes, with the departure of the old emperor, the new emperor boarded the plane, At this time he was appointed editor of a number of documentary books.
On the road to being an official, if a person's intelligence is too dazzling, it is easy to get the envy of the people around him, there was a military general official at that time, because of the close relationship with the emperor, they had different opinions when writing books together, Wei Zhao used some historical stories to persuade this person, and his words were very pertinent, there was nothing wrong with it, and the official of this military general heard these words of his and thought that he was a poor student with a very firm will. Therefore, he reported to the monarch at that time and resolutely did not allow Wei Zhao to write articles with him, so the final result was that he did not enter the imperial court to hold this important position.
At the end of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, there was another emperor, and after he succeeded to the throne, because he heard about some things about Wei Zhao, he was appointed an important official, and for a long time he wrote the history of the country at that time, and there were many people around the emperor at that time, in order to pat himself on the back, there were already some very auspicious omens in the folk. It shows that the monarch's governance has won the hearts of the people and has been blessed by heaven, and the emperor is very happy, so he uses this matter to ask some ministers around him, who knows Wei Zhao is very firm, this is just an illusion made by others with some specific props. Once the emperor wanted to make an edict for his old father who had passed away, but he was very insistent that your father had not ascended to the throne, and that your grandfather had passed the throne to you, so he did not get such a special honor.
After experiencing several things, he was scolded by the emperor several times, so his heart was very worried, and his body was also infected with diseases, so just like the imperial court at that time, he took sick leave, wanted to resign his official position and return to his hometown, complete some writing tasks, and hand over his work to those young people who were physically strong, but the emperor did not grant his request. In the past, when he was trusted by the emperor, every time he went to the palace to set up a banquet, others were seven cups of wine as the minimum limit, at that time Wei Zhao was not good at drinking because of his own physical factors, and the emperor secretly sent his own cronies to reward him with some tea, using this method to replace the wine, when he was gradually rejected by the emperor, in the process of these banquets, he would be forced to drink, if the wine did not reach seven cups, he would be severely punished.
After each drink, the emperor also let some of his cronies around him insult the officials in the imperial court, and expose their shortcomings as a pleasure after tea and dinner, sometimes these officials will be reprimanded by the emperor for some small mistakes, and when they are serious, they will be killed, Wei Zhao wrote to the imperial court, thinking that in such a public place, mutual exposure will make everyone have a certain psychological resentment and cause psychological harm, so that officials cannot get along harmoniously. This is very influential for governing the country. The Emperor heard his appeal. He thinks he is very disloyal to his superiors. So there is a lot of resentment.
Some time later, Wei Zhao was arrested and imprisoned, during which time he wrote to the imperial court through his family to ask for pardon, but was refuted by the emperor of the dynasty, and immediately ordered his murder, at the age of 70, he was eventually unjustly killed in prison, and his family was exiled to some remote areas. It is said that the companion is like the companion of the tiger, these high-ranking rulers, can not listen to some of the exhortations of the people around them, and now our society pays more attention to democracy and harmony, so such an event cannot happen to you and me.
