(Lu Ping stills)
If you know Lu Bing's family lineage and what Lu Bing's parents did, you know why Lu Bing was able to retire with his whole body.
However, Lu Bing also did some bad things, two of which were very bad, and Ling Chi was not excessive.
In the end, what bad things did Lu Bing do? Why did the Jiajing Emperor bypass him?
1. Those bad things that Lu Bing has done
Lu Bing, the most cattle Jinyi wei commander in the history of the Ming Dynasty, was extremely powerful, and on the one hand, this person helped the emperor to collect intelligence, arrest those who were corrupt and perverted the law, and clean up those officials who "misbehaved", and on the other hand, he guarded himself and stole and did bad things.
(1) Lu Ping is a corrupt criminal
As an ancient official, it is really difficult to be able to have a clean wind in both sleeves and not to be greedy or occupied, after all, the family needs to spend money, communication needs to spend money, and gifts also need to cost money.
Hai Rui is incorruptible, but what official would follow Hai Rui's example and prefer to have a family of disciples rather than embezzlement?
The greatest weakness of human nature is endless greed.
Lu Bing, a person with political ambitions, has not escaped the "vortex of corruption", and in the face of other people's gifts, from refusing to receiving less, to letting go of the collection, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the appetite is getting better and better.
At this point, Lu Bing sank in and gradually lost himself.
However, although embezzlement was a crime in ancient times, if the number is not large enough, whether to cut off the head is still debatable.
It is true, but the other two things done are unforgivable and indignant.
(2) Lu Bing killed two loyal ministers
Lu Bing's greed for so much ink, not being discovered, is simply a fool's dream.
If it were you, how would you feel if you found that the head of the secret service who checked you every day had an extremely unclean ass? I will definitely sue him.
The facts show that it was not one person who filed the complaint, and everyone handed the complaint to Yushi.
YuShi looked at it, this is a big man, he can't handle it, what to do?
Goshi pushed it to Shoufu Natsuyan. Xia Yan is capable and upright, and this is an official with two sleeves and a clean wind.
Don't look at Lu Bing as a secret agent leader, but I admire people like Xia Yan.
Knowing that his handle was caught by Xia Yan, and to deal with it, Lu Bing, who was indispensable, was also anxious to sweat, in order to solve the problem, he took a lot of money to bribe Xia Yan.
(Xia Yan)
Logically, a hardcore fan will not be unaware of the habits of his idol, but Lu Bing insists: Money can understand the gods, let alone Xia Yan?
Facts show that Cai Shuai could not move Xia Yan's heart, and a sentence of "get out" made Lu Bing's eyes extremely ugly.
Later, Lu Bing, leaning on his pretense, knelt down and begged for forgiveness, and Xia Yan forgave him.
However, while Xia Yan forgave Lu Bing's mistake, Lu Bing remembered the impression that he was deeply humiliated, and he could not forget it for a long time.
How pitiful it was to ask for forgiveness in the past, how ferocious it would be to retaliate in the coming days.
Lu Bing was insulted at Xia Yan's place, and the matter was known to Yan Song's father and son.
The "bloodthirsty" Yan Song father and son saw the opportunity to take down Xia Ya.
The border general at that time, Zeng Milling, saw the importance of the Hetao area and strongly recommended that the Jiajing Emperor recover it, and Xia Yan raised his hands in approval. The Jiajing Emperor ostensibly agreed, but later hesitated.
Yan Song's father and son understood Jiajing's meaning: annoyed with fighting, do not start a war until you have to!
Therefore, when the emperor advocated "forget it", Xia Yan still had to argue according to reason, thinking that the army should be sent, and the Jiajing Emperor was angry and directly threw a sentence: Strong king threatens the people!
What does it mean? Force the king to use troops abroad.
At that moment, Xia Yan was considered a failure, and he misread the emperor's position.
Since the judgment is wrong, it must bear the price of being wrong.
Xia Yan's price is: forced retirement!
Since the emperor let the old man retire, let's retire!
However, what Xia Yan didn't know was that someone had already begun to make a fuss, and that was three people: Yan Song, Yan Shifan's father and son, and Lu Bing
(Yan Song)
Yan Song's father and son were going to take down Xia Yan and step on ten thousand more feet. And Lu Bing wants to repay the "revenge with one arrow".
Bad people are not terrible, what is terrible is that bad people have big people behind them.
The three men concocted the rumor that "Zeng Milling and Xia Yan were closely linked and plotted against him."
Originally, emperor Jiajing was very uncomfortable about the two men going to war, and when he saw the operation of Lu Bing and others, Jiajing issued a beheading order.
Poor, a brave border general, a former first assistant in the center, was concocted for false charges.
At that moment, Lu Bing personally cooperated with the evil Yan Song father and son to send the former idol to the guillotine.
At this time, his heart was dripping blood. However, she could not forget the things that the idol had humiliated him.
Lu Bing's operation this time was enough to "leave a stink for a thousand years".
Even though Lu Bing assisted in killing the two loyalists, despite various petitions, Lu Bing was still not liquidated, and died in 1560 at the age of 50.
What is the reason behind this?
2, Lu Bing has not been liquidated, there are three reasons
(1) Lu Bing's family lineage is too cattle
The Lu family, where Lu Bing is located, is not an ordinary cow, and has been an official for generations, and its history can be traced back to the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Although the years were constantly reincarnating, the Lu family was almost invincible.
Although the Lu family has had small lows and occasionally has a family decline, the overall situation is maintained at a very high level.
Lu Bing's father, Lu Song, did not hold an official position, but his luck was very cattle, and he was definitely the lucky one of that era.
He went to assist a prince, which seemed to have little future, but the Zhengde Emperor at that time had no descendants when he died, so the son of King Xingxian of Lu Song's assistance was made emperor, which was the Jiajing Emperor.
It seems that this is nothing, after all, it is not Lu Song who assists King Xingxian alone, he is neither the wisest nor the most capable, nor is he the most admired by King Xingxian.
However, Lu Song's wife was chosen as Jiajing's wet nurse when she was a child.
This is terrible, to put it bluntly, Lu Bing and The Jiajing Emperor grew up eating the same milk, who can compare with this relationship? Moreover, when he was a child, Lu Bing played behind Xiao Jiajing's ass, just like Jiajing's once small hair, and like a brother.
Therefore, this kind of relationship is basically unshaked, and when someone writes a letter to impeach Lu Bing, Jiajing often throws it aside, just as if someone else let go of a fart.
However, Lu Bing's protection by Jiajing is not only the reason for the relationship.
(2) Lu Bing was once Jiajing's savior
(Jiajing)
At first, Lu Bing was taken care of by Jiajing, became a member of the Jinyi Guard, and slowly improved.
In 1539, the Jiajing Emperor toured the south, but unexpectedly the palace caught fire. Many people were busy running for their lives, and few people knew where the emperor was. Lu Bing found emperor Jiajing and carried jiajing out.
This is the "saving grace"!
In 1542, there was a change in the palace of Nongyin, and Yang Jinying and other palace women prepared to kill the Jiajing Emperor, but failed.
Lu Bing rushed to the rescue at the first time.
This action once again touched Jiajing.
As their own hair small, or their own savior, who dares to move?
(3) Lu Bing's allies are powerful
Who are Lu Bing's allies? Yan Song father and son.
After Lu Bing and Yan Song's father and son united, it was really all inside and out, and there was an emperor in the palace, and outside, there was also Yan Song's father and son to give support.
Until the time of Lu Bing's death, Yan Song's father and son were still heavy subjects, and Yan Song was still the first assistant.
Therefore, Lu Bing, who died in 1560, really had no reason to be liquidated.
(4) Lu Bing still did something
Lu Bing still has some political dreams, otherwise he would not have regarded Xia Yan as an idol.
In addition to corruption, in addition to falsely accusing Xia Yan and Zeng Milling, resulting in the death of both people, Lu Bing is still very prominent.
First of all, Lu Bing is really capable, and he is a "martial artist" who has passed the examination one level after another by his own strength, and it is difficult to cheat.
Secondly, Lu Bing's tenure was very shrewd, and he had a very good set of case review, except for colluding with Yan Song and falsely accusing good people, other aspects were quite OK, and he was a cadre.
Third, Lu Bing overthrew Qiu Luan, the evil man, and was praised for a while.
Fourth, Lu Bing once put forward six suggestions: "expanding infrastructure, building customs, collecting husbands, increasing work and food, strict rewards and punishments, and giving medicine", each of which is very constructive.
Therefore, Lu Bing, this person is not the kind of person who eats and waits for resources, but a person with outstanding ability and can also do things.
In view of the above four reasons, Lu Bing was able to die well and the family could be saved.
However, 10 years after Lu Bing's death, that is, in 1570, a change occurred, when Ming Mu was in power (Jiajing's son), and some people listed a bunch of Lu Bing's crimes.
As a result, Lu Bing's honor and title during his lifetime were abolished, and his son was arrested.
This is the rhythm of reckoning!
At this time, Jiajing had been dead for three years, the Yan family father and son had lost their power, Yan Song had also died for three years, and Yan Shifan had been dead for five years.
That is to say, Lu Bing's sons were not protected, so they were turned over old accounts and confiscated the family property.
However, the Lu family was still lucky, and five years later, Zhang Juzheng, a red man in the imperial court, spoke:
Lu Bing's rescue work is still there, and the Daming Law stipulates that "those who do not conspire against the rebel party will not confiscate their family property", and moreover, the two crimes of raiding the house and recovering stolen goods sit together, which is not in accordance with the law.
(Zhang Juzheng)
Teacher Zhang spoke, and Emperor Mingshenzong (emperor of Wanli) took pity on the descendants of the Lu family, so he was exonerated.
The Lu family, luck is still good, once again met the nobles, once again the murder of Ji.
