I believe that if you watch a film and television drama or a history book in elementary school, you must have a very deep understanding of Cai Lun, everyone is impressed by the papermaking technique he invented, and thinks that he is a good person without compromise, but do you know? Sometimes, history is the easiest to deceive, if you look at Cai Lun with your current eyes, the truth will definitely open your eyes, then, how despicable is the real Cai Lun?
First of all, he entered the palace in 75 AD as a eunuch, that is, the eunuch we are familiar with, perhaps because he can talk, and soon he was in cahoots with empress Dou, and when he was on Dou's side, he did a lot of bad things, such as helping Dou to frame the love enemy song Guiren at that time according to the historical records, forcing the latter to die only with injustice, which was not the first good thing he did!
Later, Cai Lun also won the trust of dou clan, all the way to the top, the official position once achieved the middle constant waiter, do you think people are very good to Dou clan? Then you are also too naïve, later, after Dou's burp, people immediately found a home for themselves, that is, the later empress Deng Sui, and it is precisely because of this queen's side that he improved the papermaking technique, thus passing on for hundreds of years, but the reason why he improved the papermaking technique was most likely to please the new master at that time.
But he did not expect that something happened, that is, in the same year that he invented papermaking, his new master died, and the new successor emperor was the grandson of the nobleman he had framed and died, although when Empress Deng Sui was alive, he could still protect him, but he did not expect that this Empress Deng was burping, and after this Han An Emperor took over, the first thing he did was to calculate the accounts with him that year.
Because of the events of that year, Cai Lun was interrogated and investigated, of course, the emperor was also a wise man, directly ordered Cai Lun to confess to the court lieutenant himself, Cai Lun knew that he was dead, so he took poison and committed suicide in the first step, ending his life, with the current point of view, Cai Lun's life is deserved, after all, the sins he did in the past, and eventually had to be repaid by himself, but is this really the case?
When we study history, there is a saying called "can't look at the things of ancient times with the current eyes", in fact, in that dynasty, if Cai Lun did not do this, I am afraid that Cai Lun would not have lived to invent papermaking and thus flow for hundreds of years, in the dynasty at that time, If Cai Lun did not have a brain, he could not live at all, so I think that Cai Lun did this, and it is also beyond reproach!
