When Emperor Jingdi's favorite concubine Jia Ji went to the toilet, a wild boar suddenly broke in, and the guards Zhi Du resisted, but later Emperor Jingdi of Han gave him a reward of 100 pounds of gold.
The story that looks ridiculous is recorded in black and white in Sima Qian's "Biography of The Chronicle of the Cool Officials".
The original text will not be released, let's briefly talk about it.
Emperor Jingdi of Han was the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he and his father Emperor Wen of Han implemented the policy of "recuperation and recuperation", which played a great role in restoring the economy of the Han Dynasty after the war and creating a stable social environment.
It can be said that he is also a wise man.
Emperor Jingdi of Han had a very favored concubine, named Jia Ji, who looked white and beautiful, and was very moving.
One day, Emperor Han Jingdi was going to go hunting in shanglin garden, that is, the royal wild park, and Jia Ji insisted on going with him. Emperor Jingdi of Han was so worn out that he set out with a team of bodyguards and Jia Ji to Shanglin Garden.
Jia Ji didn't even have a maid by her side, but she was still elated and felt particularly fresh.
This forest garden is not only lush with trees, but also wild animals, and there are wild animals jumping out at any time to scare people.
The Han Jing Emperor was also leisure and entertainment, and did not hunt and kill, and the right was to come out to relax. So ride a horse and stop and go, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and also talk and laugh with Jia Ji, and make the beauty happy.
Probably after walking for a long time, Jia Ji proposed that she was anxious and wanted to go to the toilet. Just in the forest there was a simple toilet of that kind, so I went in alone to solve it, and The Han Jing Emperor and a group of guards were waiting outside.
At this time, a black wild boar rushed out of nowhere, and before the emperor and the guards could react, they rushed into the toilet.
From the toilet came "Ah! Help me! With a scream, Emperor Jingdi of Han also panicked, thinking that the wild boar might hurt his own concubine, and couldn't help but be distressed.
However, the guards around him were also stunned one by one, and none of them actually went to the rescue. Therefore, he gestured with his eyes to General Zhi Du, who was standing next to him, and shouted in his heart: "You stupid melon, why don't you go in to save him?!" ”
Who knew that this Zhi Du had obviously received the emperor's meaning, but he turned his head to the side, pretended not to see, and shouted: "There are wild boars, escorts, escorts!" ”
Emperor Jingdi of Han was afraid that Jia Ji had something to lose, and he was in a hurry, so he pulled out Zhi Du's sabre and flushed it into the toilet. At this time, Zhi Du reacted quickly, grabbing the blade with one hand, and his hands were cut, and he did not let go.
He knelt on the ground and righteously said to the emperor, "Emperor, you can't go in!" There is no one Jia Ji, and there is no Zhang Ji, Li Ji, there are many beauties in the world, but there is only one Tianzi! You put your own safety at risk today, how can you be worthy of the royal family? How can it be worthy of the people? ”
A remark calmed the mind of Emperor Jingdi of Han.
Probably the wild boar couldn't bear to hurt chuchu poor Jia Ji, or maybe it wasn't hungry itself, and after walking around for a while, it actually ran out on its own.
Jia Ji was frightened and cried loudly, but finally a false alarm came out. Emperor Jing of Han rushed to comfort him and returned to the palace.
That night, Emperor Jingdi of Han told his mother Empress Dowager Dou about the fact that Zhi Du was not saved, and he was indignant and wanted to punish him. Who knew that Empress Dowager Dou did not think so, she said: "This person is very loyal and reasonable, can be reused, and must be rewarded heavily." ”
Emperor Jingdi of Han thought for several days and finally understood the empress's intentions, promoted Zhi Du several ranks, became the commander of the forbidden army in the capital, and rewarded him with 100 catties of gold in recognition of his loyalty to the emperor.
In fact, as a bodyguard, Zhi Du did not understand the intention of Emperor Han Jingdi to go in and save people, but he was not stupid, and if he went into the toilet, he might see the scenery that he should not see.
That was the emperor's favorite concubine, her body was not something that anyone could see, and if she saw it, it would tarnish her innocence, and she would be beheaded, and she estimated that she would either be killed or enter the cold palace.
Although he resisted the will, he still had a glimmer of hope, so he saw death and could not be saved, and blocked the emperor from entering and also expressed his loyalty, killing two birds with one stone.
As the saying goes: "The two evils take the lighter, and the two benefits take the heavier." "A person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons is a truly wise person." This was true of Xi Du, and so was emperor Jing of Han. What do you think about that?
