It is generally believed that a wise and heroic lord can exert himself to govern and lead his country to a strong road and move toward rejuvenation, how great and how brilliant he is.
But have you ever heard that the final outcome of the male lord was a tragic death and starvation? Very little! But there was such a male lord, the Zhao Wuling King. From the praise of everyone in the glorious period, the praise of the courtiers, to the end of their own bird nests, catch mice, and finally be starved to death.
If you think about it, it's really pathetic and deplorable.
First, Hufu rides and shoots, showing style
King Wuling of Zhao's most heroic and majestic reform was the implementation of Hufu riding and shooting. More than a hundred years ago in China, the whole society was thinking about challenge, how to change. At that time, many reformers were very appreciative of King Zhao Wuling, saying that he had the courage to take the pace of reform and bravely move forward.
Before the Wuling King, the traditional way of fighting in the Zhao Kingdom had always been infantry and chariots, and it seemed that some people would think that there were chariots that were very tall and tall, and looked very fierce and cattle. But this chariot is not our current chariot! Is speed guaranteed? Is attack power guaranteed?
Moreover, we are all very clear that the great advantage of the Hu people over the people of the Central Plains is that they can shoot arrows on horseback, and they can shoot you while running. In battle, infantry and cavalry fights, like children going to fight adults, are often beaten up and wow, leaving a psychological shadow.
Because of this, King Wuling of Zhao made up his mind to change the wave, decisively abandon the traditional method of warfare, and vigorously promote Hufu riding and shooting. The effect of the reform is obvious, and the Zhao state has greatly increased its national strength, which is also talked about by modern people.
Second, marrying Wu Guang's daughter, the beginning of bad luck
It is said that heroes are sadder than beauty off. A male lord, conquered the world, but finally conquered by beautiful women, this must be a common disease of many emperors and generals.
What is even more emotional is that many times the source of everything is caused by a dream.
It is said that one night, King Wuling of Zhao dreamed of a young and beautiful woman playing the piano and singing, and this woman was very beautiful! After waking up, King Zhao Wuling was obsessed with the woman, thinking of her and reading her.
Based on the impressions in his dreams, he painted the image of a young girl. After hearing this, the official Wu Guang felt that the King of Wuling was talking about his daughter, so he dedicated his daughter Meng Yao to King Wuling of Zhao.
The result? The Martial Spirit King was overjoyed, and seeing that the woman was indeed very similar to the dream, he loved her very much.
Nine years later, meng Yao passed away, and King Zhao Wuling's heart was broken, how would he live this day! Because of his love for Meng Yao, he ignored the objections of his ministers and deposed the crown prince Zhao Zhang and changed Zhao He to crown prince.
Immediately after, the biggest problem came: Zhao Wuling King was clever and confused for a while. I was too hasty in choosing an heir and didn't sit down and think about it.
Early retirement that is difficult to understand
Not long after, King Zhao Wuling made a shocking decision.
When he was in his forties, he was about to abdicate the throne as emperor and let the young Zhao He ascend the throne. This was the first case at that time, no emperor did this, everyone would like to be emperor for a few more days, hold the power for a few more days, and sit on the dragon chair for a few more days.
Fourth, the counterattack of the former prince
Crown Prince Zhao Zhang was deposed, and he himself did not have much to complain about, but the staff around him were not happy: I could have been promoted to a higher rank and become rich, rich and had a house and a wife and concubine. So they kept fanning the flames in front of Gongzi Zhang, encouraging Gongzi Zhang to make a difference.
King Wuling of Zhao himself felt sorry for Gongzi Zhang, so he wanted to divide the Zhao Kingdom into two halves and give half of it to Gongzi Zhang. At first, he felt that there was no problem, the prince should not refuse, between brothers, one person and half, the feelings are not scattered.
It's just that King Zhao Wuling didn't expect any emperor to be willing to share the Jiangshan with others, how could such a thing be possible? You want to, I don't want to.
For this request, of course, the emperor refused.
King Zhao Wuling was very angry: "I'm your old man, and you don't listen to my words either?" Well, since you don't listen, I'll ruin you.
He told Gongzi Zhang about the things that could not be sealed, and wanted Gongzi Zhang to arrest his filial son. Gongzi Zhang, encouraged by King Wuling of Zhao, thought that his hope had come, and he would soon be the new emperor, so he was very happy.
Gongzi Zhang borrowed his father's soldier Fu Xuan Gongzi He to go to the palace to discuss matters, and wanted to lure Gongzi He out through this, to close the door and beat the dog, and to arrest and rectify it fiercely. But the people around the emperor were not vegetarians, and some people saw that they were catty.
The counselor Fei Yi felt that there was a conspiracy in it, so he took the initiative to say that he would go to the palace for Gongzi He to see what was going on. Sure enough, Fei Yi was killed. Gongzi He was furious and sent Li Dui to lead troops into the palace and kill Gongzi Zhang and his henchmen.
If you dare to rebel and don't cut your corpses into ten thousand pieces, then you are not human! Soon they killed Gongzi Zhang's group of people, but what about King Zhao Wuling? No one wanted and no one dared to bear the notoriety of killing the king, so they thought of letting King Zhao Wuling fend for himself and starve him to death.
They imprisoned King Zhao Wuling in the palace, cut off water and fasted food. If a person is dying, he will not care about anything, and any way to survive will be used. The Wuling King searched and searched, but he couldn't find anything to eat, so he had to eat rats and dig out the bird's nest, and then he didn't have to eat anything, and the Zhao Wuling King starved to death!
The grand generation of male lords, from a person loved by all, to a miserable starvation, or a mouse to accompany him, spend the last good time, which is a change for everyone who sighs. ay! What a pity and a pity.
