The person I want to talk about today is Zhou Yafu of the Western Han Dynasty, the son of Zhou Bo, the founding hero of the country.
The history of Zhou Yafu is found in the "History of the Zhou BoShi of the Marquis of Daihou" and the "Book of Han and the Biography of King Zhou of Zhang Chen". There is almost no difference in what is said about Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu was the son of Zhou Bo and inherited his father's title.
Zhou Yafu has two bullish things, but who does not look at it, things are good and bad
1. Camp Willow
Emperor Wen of Han went to inspect Zhou Yafu's army, and Zhou Yafu's sergeant replied: "The army hears the general's order, but does not hear the edict of the Son of Heaven." This kind of thing can be said to be strict military discipline, or it can be said that supporting soldiers is self-respecting and does not look at the emperor in the eyes, and to a large extent, it is suspected of rebellion. Zhou Yafu met Emperor Wen of Han, and the wise Emperor Wen of Han did not think in a crooked way.
2. Suppress the Rebellion of the Seven Kings
The suppression of the rebellion of the King of Qi needless to say, great military feats. Zhou Yafu was also promoted. However, when the Wu army attacked the Liang King, both the Liang King and the Han Jing Emperor asked Zhou Yafu to send troops to rescue the Liang King. Zhou Yafu directly refused. Not even a euphemism. It should be known that The King of Liang was a figure that Empress Dowager Dou thought would succeed Emperor Jing of Han. Since then, Liang Wang and Zhou Yafu have a gap. The King of Liang would certainly not say good things about Zhou Yafu in front of Empress Dowager Dou.
Is it a great credit, have you remembered a similar character, that is, nian tangyao in "Yongzheng Dynasty". Zhou Yafu, who was credited with the credit, also began to be proud, opposing the emperor's resolution, and began to herald his end.
There are three more bad things
1. Empress Dowager Dou asked the emperor to give Empress Wang's father and brother the title of Marquis. Emperor Jingdi of Han consulted with Zhou Yafu. Zhou Yafu said, "Emperor Gao said that "no one of the Liu clan shall not be kings, and no one shall be princeless unless he has meritorious service." It is not as good as the covenant, and the whole world will strike together'" This is righteousness, right, don't be so blunt. You must know that the King of Liang has already counted Zhou Yafu down in front of Empress Dou. This time, Emperor Jing of Han still believed Zhou Yafu
2. The Xiongnu king Wei Xulu and five others surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the Han Jing Emperor wanted to give these five people the title of marquis. Zhou Yafu directly pushed back, believing that those who surrendered could not be enfeoffed. This time, Zhou Yafu was not so lucky, and the Han Jing Emperor did not listen. Zhou Yafu, who was rejected, was unhappy and gambled that he was sick and could not go to the court. Emperor Jing of Han did not hesitate and took the opportunity to dismiss Zhou Yafu from the post of chancellor
3. The Han Jing Emperor gave a banquet. Gave Zhou Yafu a large piece of meat, did not cut it. There are no chopsticks. Zhou Yafu was not happy. Shouting to get him chopsticks. Emperor Jingdi of Han joked: "Can't these meet your requirements?" Zhou Yafu apologized for his sins and took advantage of the kung fu of Emperor Jingdi of Han to get up and leave on his own. Emperor Jingdi of Han looked at Zhou Yafu's back and said, "This troublemaker is not a young lord." At this time, the Han Jing Emperor was moved to kill. Just one reason is needed.
Not long after, Zhou Yafu's son got into trouble. Five hundred pieces of burial armor and shields were bought for Zhou Yafu to use after his death. Buy it, Zhou Yafu's son somehow did not give labor money. The workers reported to Emperor Jing of Han and accused Zhou Yafu of using Tianzi's things. Emperor Jingdi of Han rebuked Zhou Yafu, but the stubborn Zhou Yafu refused to answer.
Emperor Jingdi of Han handed Zhou Yafu over to Ting Wei, who directly asked Zhou Yafu if he wanted to rebel. Zhou Yafu replied: These things are for the dead, and there is a rebellion. Or did the jailer point out Zhou Yafu, even if you don't rebel while you are alive, do you want to rebel underground when you buy these things?
Zhou Yafu, who was extremely angry, died of hunger strike in prison for five days.
For people to deal with the world, we must also keep a low profile first, and have a degree of relaxation.
