In feudal society, historical figures who can appear in history books are either brilliant, or heinous in crime, or noble in status, or outstanding in merit. Compared with the above categories, because of the early death of many people who changed the course of history, the emperor had the Northern Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong, who had unified the north before his death, and the next step was to wave the army to pacify the world, but he died young, only thirty-six years old.
The other is the Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong mentioned by the subject, ten years to expand the world, ten years to feed the people, ten years to the peace. However, he reigned for only six years, and died not long after the conquest of the Liao state, and the history records his reign: the whole army was trained, the redundancy was eliminated, the exile was recruited, the taxes were reduced, and the politics of the Later Zhou Dynasty was clear, the people were rich, and the Central Plains began to recover. He also conquered the northern war in the south, defeated Hou Shu in the west, and captured the four prefectures of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Jie; destroyed the southern Tang in the south, and exhausted the 14 prefectures of Jiangbei and Huainan; and broke the Khitan in the north and the three passes of Lianke's two prefectures. He also died before the pacification of the world, at the age of thirty-nine.
Among the military generals of The Wenchen Dynasty, who changed the course of history because of his untimely death, was the only one who was a relative of the emperor and the state, who grew up in the palace from an early age and studied the art of war under the teachings of Emperor Wu of Han and his uncle Wei Qing. In the sixth year of Yuan Shuo (123 BC), he led 800 horsemen to go deep into the enemy territory for hundreds of miles, killing the Xiongnu soldiers in all directions and fleeing.
After that, in the middle of the desert south and the north of the desert, the Xiongnu were greatly destroyed and the wolves were sealed. In the sixth year of the Yuan Hunt, Huo Wentong died of illness at the age of 23. If it were not for his untimely death, China's territory might have expanded northward, so I think it is clear that "some people are born to complete a mission".
They are all heroes who changed the course of history because of their untimely deaths, but they are not the protagonists of my article, and I am going to write about the prince who changed the course of history because of his untimely death.
Qin-Gongzi Fusu
In 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang died of illness in the sand dunes, Hu Hai Zhao Gao falsely passed on the will, forcing Fu Su and Meng Tian to die, and from then on the empire quickly collapsed because of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's perverse behavior, and died in three years. If Fu Su does not die, judging by his own personality and talent, he can implement benevolent government to the greatest extent, reduce the harsh punishment of the legal family, reduce the people's servitude, and advocate frugality.
Stop refining Dan for immortality and cruise the world. It can almost improve all the maladministration and tyranny in the later period of the First Emperor, and reproduce the situation in which the second lord of Emperor Zhaoxuan after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rested and recuperated, and the country was prosperous. There would be no Chen Sheng Wu Guangzexiang uprising, other nobles would not risk against the powerful Qin Dynasty, what "the prince will have a kind of Hu", "Bi Ke to replace", "the big husband should be like the world" these loud slogans appeared hundreds of years later, or similar in meaning, but completely different slogans. Aristocratic politics will be much longer, and peasant revolts may emerge very late.
Fu Su committed suicide and changed the course of history, no doubt.
Prince Liu of Han-Wei
As the beloved son of Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Zifu, his mother favored the harem, and his own status was as stable as Mount Tai, but as Emperor Wu of Han was jealous of power in his later years and no longer believed in anyone, the father and son turned against each other just because of a few rumors from Jiang Chong, and then Liu Zhu committed suicide, only thirty-seven. Originally, as a well-deserved crown prince of the empire, he also had a certain ability to govern, but because of the murder of his courtiers, it was a pity, and history recorded him: he was lenient for the government, repeatedly rehabilitated unjust cases, and won the hearts of the people.
Perhaps after he succeeded to the throne, he lightly created a prosperous world, which was stronger than Zhaoxuan Zhongxing, and his son, Emperor Shi's grandson Liu Jin, would not necessarily establish Emperor Xuan as the crown prince, and there would be no wrong state of the Second Emperor yuancheng, resulting in the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and the Western Han Dynasty as a great unified dynasty was more likely to be longer.
Southern Liang - Zhaoming Crown Prince Xiao Tong
He was born in the process of raising an army for his father Emperor Wu of Liang, and he was familiar with the great righteousness of the "Filial Piety Classic" from an early age, and the eight years of Tianjian even taught this book in public.
Book of Liang. Book VIII, Book II, also records:
Born intelligent, the prince was received the "Filial Piety Sutra" and "Analects" at the age of three, and read the Five Classics at the age of five, and was able to recite them. In May of the fifth year, he began to live in the Eastern Palace. The prince is benevolent and filial, self-extricating from the palace, and Constant Thought is not happy. Gao Zuzhi knew that every five days of a dynasty, most of them would stay in Yongfu Province, or five days and three days would be returned to the palace. In September of the eighth year, he preached the "Filial Piety Sutra" at the Shou'an Temple, and did his best to understand the great righteousness.
He also has the heart of right and wrong, and when he watches the trial at the age of twelve, he knows how to analyze right and wrong, and after knowing that the criminal's feelings are excusable, he will take it lightly.
And his own literary attainments are profound, there is a book of selected literature passed down to the world, wisdom and benevolence have literary literacy, this is what is the immortal prince, so he has all the qualities of a Ming Jun, only because later and his father Liangwu Emperor Xiao Yan had a gap because of the death of his mother, resulting in depression after the third year of Zhongda Tong (531) year after falling into the water, the descendants are more contentious, Xiao unified the pulse, in addition to the later descendants of the founding of the country, and in the final Tang Dynasty there were several officials to the prime minister. Became one of the strongest branches of the Lanling Xiao clan.
Zhaoming Crown Prince Xiao Tong, thirty-one years of brilliant life, succession is likely to change the pattern of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and as for the unification of the world, upward and downward effects, Southern Liang culture or more brilliant than Zhao Song.
Ming-Yiwen Crown Prince Zhu Biao
He was the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was deeply favored by his father, and was deeply influenced by Song Lian and other great Confucians from an early age, and developed two personalities that were completely different from his father. In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious and suspicious, and killed heroes, he did not approve of some of his father's political initiatives, and he fought with his father, and his heart was bitter. Coupled with the infection with wind and cold, Yu Hongwu died of illness in the twenty-fifth year (1392), only forty-two years old, and was buried on the east side of the Xiaoling Tomb, that is, the Ming Dongling Tomb, known as "Prince Yiwen".
If he succeeds to the throne and governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, he is bound to return to his heart from all over the world and suppress the personality and talent of a number of ambitious clan kings such as Zhu Di, and it can be said that the Battle of Jingnan will most likely not happen, because there is no doubt that his early death will change the course of history.
The above is my opinion of them, and I also personally think that I regret the historical figures. In fact, as long as every historical figure studies in depth, he will find his shining point, if he does not die, how much historical process will be changed is immeasurable, but unfortunately history has no if, can only take history as a lesson, waiting for future generations to learn these experiences and lessons.
