Most of the emperor's favorites in Chinese history did not end well, such as Qin Juniper, Hezhen and so on. Because most of these people are proud of their pets and have bad deeds, after losing their backers, the end is obvious. However, all were exceptions, and some of the favored courtiers were able to die well, and after death, the emperor missed them very much.
NO.1 Wei Qing
Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che had many favored subjects, and Wei Qing was one of them, but unlike them, Wei Qing was both a favorite and a heavy subject, the younger brother of Emperor Wu of Han's empress Wei Zifu, and the most important general that Emperor Wu of Han relied on against the Xiongnu.
Wei Qing has never been defeated in seven battles and seven victories in his life, Yue Fei said: The innovation of tactics began with Wei Qing. In order to commend the military achievements of Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi, Emperor Wu of Han deliberately set up the official position of Grand General Sima Da. But Wei Qing never took credit for himself, but became more and more low-key and modest, and finally ended well.
NO.2 Kim Il-seok
Jin Ilju was originally the crown prince of the Xiongnu King Xiutu, and after his father was killed, he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and was favored and respected by Emperor Wu of Han, who appointed Jin Ilju as one of the orphan ministers before his death. Jin Ilju did not live up to the expectations of Emperor Wu of Han and wholeheartedly assisted Emperor Zhao of Han. After Jin Ilju's death, Emperor Han Zhao held a solemn funeral for him, gave him burial instruments and a cemetery, and sent him a burial with a light sergeant, and the army was lined up until Maoling and was given the title of Marquis of Jing.
NO.3 Di Renjie
Di Renjie was Wu Zetian's most trusted and relied upon minister, and it can be said that Di Renjie was the most favored favorite of Wu Zetian's life, and the rest were insignificant. One thing that can be seen about Di Renjie's favor is that in 700 AD, Di Renjie accompanied Wu Zetian on a tour of the Sanyang Palace. At that time, many civil and military officials went with them, but only Di Renjie was given the first house, and his grace was crowned.
After Di Renjie's death, Wu Zetian said sadly that the court was empty and announced the abolition of the dynasty for three days. After Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was restored to the throne, he posthumously awarded Di Renjie the title of Sikong. Emperor Ruizong of Tang succeeded to the throne and posthumously honored Di Renjie as the Duke of Liang. Di Renjie was an extremely popular subject before his death, and he was extremely honored after his death.
NO.4 Letter
Zhang Xin was a favorite of Ming Chengzu, originally a courtier of Emperor Jianwen, who was ordered to capture Zhu Di, but reported to Zhu Di. Zhu Di called himself empress dowager, very grateful to Zhang Xin, and gave him a lot last time. Although he was impeached by many ministers, he was safe and sound because of Zhu Di's protection. Zhang Xin lived until the time of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming before his death, and the imperial court posthumously awarded the Duke of Yun the title of Gong Qi.
NO.5 Li Wei
Li Wei is one of Yongzheng's most favored courtiers, and the TV series says that Li Wei was born as a slave in disguise, which is actually wrong. Li Wei's family was wealthy, and he became a minor official of wupin by donating money. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he entrusted Li Wei with a heavy responsibility, and Li Wei did not disappoint Yongzheng, and became Yongzheng's favorite because of his outstanding political achievements.
To what extent is Li Wei favored? From a member of the Wupin to a foreign lang idle, all the way to hold various important positions, and eventually the official residence of the viceroy, becoming a key member of the imperial court and a feudal official, his promotion speed can not be described as fast. After Li Wei's death, the Qianlong Emperor ordered that a sacrifice be given a funeral according to the governor's routine.
