The general was a very powerful official in the political history of ancient China, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the family and the country. He was the emperor's helper in the four directions, but because of this, he held great power and held the military power to threaten the emperor, so he had always been jealous of the emperor. As Shi Nai'an wrote in the "Water Margin": "Taiping was originally determined by the general, and the general was not allowed to see Taiping." This is a true portrayal of many dynasties.
In the Western Han Dynasty, there was such a military general who made great achievements, but in the end he was forced by the emperor to not give chopsticks when he was invited to dinner, and the straightforward minister asked the guards for chopsticks, and after the feast, he was named "this person cannot stay", and finally he was humiliated to death by the emperor.
He is Zhou Yafu, and it is because of him that he has put down the Rebellion of the Seven Kings. After Emperor Jing of Han took office, he adopted Chao's advice and tried to weaken the increasingly powerful princes, but this also led to the dissatisfaction of the princes. In the end, led by Liu Hao, the King of Wu, he united the Seven Kingdoms of Chu, Including Liu Peng, the King of Chu, to launch a rebellion, and played the slogan of "Curse the Wrong, The Side of the Qing Emperor". Emperor Jingdi of Han had to use Zhou Yafu to suppress the rebellion. In the end, he also successfully defeated the rebels and quelled the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
Zhou Yafu, who had made great achievements in 152 BC, was also promoted to the post of chancellor. However, because of his upright nature, he repeatedly violated the holy wrath in the position of prime minister. During this period, coupled with the instigation of King Liang and Empress Dou, Zhou Yafu's situation became increasingly difficult, after all, the three became tigers and violent tigers Feng He. Finally, after Emperor Jing of Han demoted the Xiongnu to Xu Lu and five others as marquises, Zhou Yafu, who held different opinions, said that he was ill and resigned. And emperor Jingdi of Han had long been fed up with this gengzhi minister, and naturally agreed.
But the emperor's heart is also unfathomable. He also wanted to test whether Zhou Yafu had the intention of trespassing, so he feasted on Zhou Yafu for dinner. At the banquet table, he did not prepare chopsticks for Zhou Yafu, and the straight Zhou Yafu naturally asked for chopsticks from the waiter, and a feast that was originally a joy was also unhappy, and the moody Zhou Yafu even got up and left the table when the Han Jing Emperor announced that the banquet was over. Displeased, Emperor Jing of Han gave him a comment that "this person cannot stay", which also ended Zhou Yafu's fate.
After Zhou Yafu's gift, his son saw that his father was old and bought a jia dun, which was reserved for use in mourning, but it was reported, and the edict that jia dun was not allowed to be bought and sold by individuals, plus the dissatisfaction of the Han Jing Emperor, also made the Han Jing Emperor decide to punish Zhou Yafu. Under the repeated humiliation of the court lieutenant, Zhou Yafu went on a hunger strike to protest, and finally ended up depressed on the 5th. This is the master of high power, and it is an example of rabbit dead dog cooking.
