If we talk about the topic of famous chinese generals in ancient Times, then I think Wei Qing and Huo Goyi must be the top few cattle people, especially Wei Qing, from a commoner's son to the Great Sima General of the Han Dynasty, was named Marquis Ping, the merits made are indeed worth remembering for posterity, and many of today's history books have a very high evaluation of Wei Qing, Wei Qing's birth is very bitter, don't look at his sister is Emperor Wu of Han's empress Wei Zifu, this is all after that, for Wei Qing, the first half of his life is indeed very miserable.
The history books record that Wei Qing's mother Wei Mi gave birth to Wei Zifu after two marriages, the second time Wei Mi and The county official Zheng Ji who was working in the family of Marquis Pingyang gave birth to Wei Qing, this kind of sneaky birth of the child's status is naturally not high when he grows up, and he is often teased and bullied, because he really can't go on, Wei Qing was sent to his own father Zheng Ji's home by his mother, he did not expect that Zheng Ji did not admit the debts he committed when he was young, although he took In Wei Qing, but did not treat Wei Qing as a person, let him herd sheep every day, Zheng Ji's sons also often bullied him, and when Wei Qing grew up a little, he did not want to be bullied by the Zheng family anymore, so he returned to his mother and became a slave to Princess Pingyang.
Once a fortune teller showed Wei Qing a picture, saying that you are a noble person, I did not expect Wei Qing to laugh bitterly, I am a slave, do a good job every day, others don't beat me on the line, do you dare to climb that kind of wealth? Once Emperor Wu of Han went to sweep the tomb, and by the way, he sat down in Pingyang Province, and at a glance he saw Wei Zifu, who was still a slave at the time, and the fate of Wei Zifu and Wei Qing changed from then on.
Wei Zifu was very favored after entering the palace, and soon became pregnant, this time the empress dowager Empress Chen was unwilling, so she sent someone to arrest Wei Qing, who was still a slave at the time, and prepared to kill him, intending to warn Wei Zifu, but did not expect that Gongsun Ao heard the news and quickly rescued Wei Qing, and Emperor Wu of Han also learned of this matter shortly after, and Directly sealed Wei Zifu as a lady, appointed Wei Qing as a servant, and rewarded Wei Qing continuously every day, to tell the truth, this is the same as raising the bar between our husband and wife, although Emperor Wu of Han loved Empress Chen very much, However, Empress Chen relied on this favor to die, and as a result, Emperor Wu of Han was forced to be anxious, and the family was greatly sealed.
Later Wei Qing was again named a che riding general, of course, Wei Zifu must not have blown the pillow side wind in the ear of Emperor Wu of Han, and then the Xiongnu invaded, but also gave Wei Qing the opportunity to make meritorious achievements, in 129 BC, Emperor Wu of Han sent Wei Qing to lead more than 10,000 people to attack the Xiongnu, did not expect that the other several large armies all failed, only Wei Qing fought a big victory, so Wei Qing was named the Marquis of Guannei, and later Wei Qing attacked the Xiongnu many times, all of which were successful, Emperor Wu of Han thought that Wei Qing was a rare talent, so he named him the Marquis of Changping, and sealed as many as 10,000 households.
However, when Wei Qing died of illness in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Wu of Han was very sad, so he ordered the construction of a cemetery for Wei Qing in the northeast of Maoling to commend his outstanding merits, but today's Wei Qing tomb has long lost its former style, and the only thing left is weeds and scribbles everywhere, and even next to Wei Qing's tomb there are many indecent landscapes, and the size of the tomb everywhere makes Wei Qing's tomb a laughing stock for outsiders, how can people not think of the national heroes who made great contributions to the Han family world. The fact that the cemetery has become like this is really painful to watch. I don't know what kind of mood Wei Qing would have felt if he had known about the scene in front of his tomb today!
