If you were to ask me who was the most wronged person in the history of the Han Dynasty, I would definitely say that it was this person. Why did Chao mistakenly die unjustly? Because his death was not only felt wronged by posterity, but even at that time; his death was felt wronged not only by the ministers, but also by the emperor himself.
However, he had to die again. Why?
The story has to start at the beginning. Who is Chao's fault? Chao Que was a reader who was well versed in Confucian culture. At that time, of course, the readers were already studying, so when Emperor Wen of Han was in power, he also became an official, called Taichang Zhanggu. However, he was talented and very good at writing articles, so he was favored by Emperor Wen of Han and made him a prince, and later worshiped as a prince. The history books record: "(Chao Wrong) was known as the Prince of Luck for his argument, and the Prince's family was called 'Wise Man'. ”
Anyway, it was the prince's teacher, that is, the teacher of the Han Jing Emperor. This is a fat difference, because the prince is the future emperor, so those who can follow the prince will certainly not be too bad in the future. Indeed it is.
After Emperor Jingdi of Han became emperor, Chao Que was reused, and Liu Qi, the Emperor of Han Jing, also had great trust in Chao Que. It is said that Emperor Jingdi of Han often summoned Chao Que alone, and he even agreed with Chao Que's suggestions. Anyway, the Han Jing Emperor was almost speechless about Chao's mistakes.
It is precisely because of the incomparable trust of the Han Jing Emperor that Chao mistakenly decided to implement his great dream, what dream? Cut the domain.
To cut the domain is to weaken the power of the king of the domain. This has to be said about Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, who was crowned as emperor when Liu Bang laid down the world and crowned many princes. There are their own families, surnamed Liu, and there are also people with different surnames wang. Of course, this is also a last resort, the king with a different surname follows him to fight the world, the credit is too great, can not not be canonized.
Their own families also want to be canonized, because they are asked to help guard the world, although this law is good, but the drawbacks are very serious, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is an example. When the princes became bigger, they naturally looked down on the central authorities and threatened the imperial power. And this matter was particularly obvious when it came to the han jing emperor's dynasty.
Therefore, not only is it a mistake, many ministers are advising the emperor to cut the domain, and Jia Yi was during the time of Emperor Wen of Han. However, when Jia Yi advocated to Emperor Wen of Han to cut the domain, he was stopped by Emperor Wen of Han and did not adopt it. By the time Emperor Jing of Han came to power, Chao Mistaken decided to complete Jia Yi's unfinished business that year.
So Chao mistakenly wrote a "Cutting The Strategy" and showed it to emperor Jing of Han. In the "Cutting Strategy", it is written: "Cutting now is also the opposite, and not cutting is also reversing." If you cut it, it will be in the opposite direction, and the disaster will be small; if it is not cut, it will be late and the disaster will be great. ”
The meaning is obvious, the attitude is very clear, cutting is cutting, not cutting is also cutting, doing it early and doing it late is always done. The Han Jing Emperor also wanted to do this, so he quickly agreed to Chao's suggestion.
The reason why Emperor Jingdi of Han was in a hurry to cut down the domain, in addition to the fact that the kings were too powerful, was also due to his personal contradiction with Liu Hao, the king of Wu, because Emperor Jing of Han killed the son of Liu Hao, the king of Wu. When Emperor Jingdi of Han was still the crown prince, he played with the son of King Wu, who knew that the two people did not know what the reason for the quarrel, the result was more and more severe, Emperor Jing of Han beat Liu Hao's son to death.
At that time, Emperor Jing of Han was still a prince and a crown prince of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Hao, the king of Wu, could only watch his son being killed. But he must have been unconvinced, and he must have wanted to avenge his son.
Therefore, after he saw that Emperor Jingdi of Han was carrying out the policy of cutting down the domain, he did not say a word, and immediately joined forces with Liu Peng, the king of Chu, Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, Liu Qiwei, the king of Jiaoxi, Liu Peiguang, the king of Jinan, Liu Xian, the king of Zichuan, and Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, to rebel and form a seven-nation alliance army, which was a huge massacre of Xiang Jingshi, which is the famous "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" in history, also known as the "Rebellion of Wuchu.".
The Seven Kingdoms were in turmoil, the government and the opposition were shocked, and public opinion was in an uproar. Emperor Jingdi of Han jingdi was a little busy and immediately consulted with Chao Jing to discuss countermeasures, and as a result, Chao Jingdi's suggestion made Emperor Jingdi of Han Jing's heart pluck cold, and Chao Jing's wrong suggestion was that Emperor Jing of Han was personally marching, and he chao mistakenly helped Emperor Jing of Han to defend the capital.
Everyone knows that leading troops to fight is the most dangerous; staying in the capital is the safest. When the country is in trouble, any loyal subject should keep the danger to himself and leave the safety to the emperor. Chao mistakes are such ministers who leave security to themselves and danger to the emperor, and I am afraid that no emperor can tolerate it.
What's more, the banner of the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms is exactly "Qing Jun's side, Chao Chao's mistake", but you are still doing this? As a result, Emperor Jingdi of Han was very unhappy, and at this time, the ministers were also writing to kill Chao, and the commoners were indignant, and the kings and people were indignant. In the end, Emperor Jing of Han ordered Chao to be killed.
And Chao's mistake was also very tragic, he was cut off from the waist. In fact, Chao Que actively planned to cut the domain for the sake of the Han Jing Emperor, and moreover, the Han Jing Emperor originally intended to cut the clan, and Chao Que's suggestion should be right in the middle. As a result, he ended up with such a fate, so it is said that he died a very unjust death.
However, Chao Wrong had to die, because Chao Wrong did not die, and the Rebellion of the Seven Kings would not be put down so quickly. The reason why the Seven Kingdoms joined forces to send troops was "Qing Jun's side", and the target figure was Chao Wrong.
Didn't you Seven Kingdoms say that Chao Wasa was a traitor and wanted to clean it up for me? Now Chao mistakenly died. When the "traitors" are gone, shouldn't you obediently retire from the army?
To tell the truth, Emperor Jingdi's decision this time was really fast and accurate. The Seven Kingdoms only thought that Chao Was deeply trusted by Emperor Jing, and Emperor Jing would never be able to hand him over, who knew that Emperor Jing of Han would directly come to the bottom of the pot to draw salaries and force the Seven Kingdoms to a dead end. Sure enough, after Chao Was wrongly executed, the Seven Kingdoms no longer had any reason to send troops, and "righteousness" became "rational loss". In the end, it took only three months for the Han Jing Emperor to quell the rebellion.
Therefore, although Chao Que died unjustly, he had to die, he did not die, and the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms may not be able to be put down so quickly.
