When I was young, I think both teachers and parents told their children a story, that is, the story of the ancient chiseled wall stealing light.
As more and more teachers told, such a story left a very good impression on the children's hearts, and all people thought that Kuang Heng was a person who loved learning and still did not give up learning in such a difficult environment.
But we all seem to only know the first half of this story, and we don't know what will happen to Kuang Heng later? According to our so-called normal thinking, the later Kuang Heng should be successful in his studies.
But in fact, this is not the case, and when he grows up, he is the opposite of when he was a child. I also hope that this story will not mislead children again.
Tenacious and indomitable:
Kuang Heng was born in the Han Dynasty, when he was young, his family was very poor, as for how poor it was? Probably not even a candle at night, but in such a poor and harsh environment, Kuang Heng was unique and completed his studies with his clever mind.
This method is to steal the light of the candle in the next house, and Kuang Heng has made a small hole in his own house. This hole only hits the opposite house, and the light source of the candle in the opposite room also penetrates into this small hole, and Kuang Heng relies on this little light source to study in the middle of the night.
Immersed in studying at night, during the day he ran to Mr. Teaching's private school to eavesdrop on the corner, because the family did not have extra money for him to study, which was how Kuang Heng spent his childhood.
And it is precisely because of such a tenacious, not bowing to fate, but also praised by the later world, such a story of chiseling the wall to steal the light has also been recorded in the annals of history, and later Kuang Heng did have some achievements, becoming the minister of the Han Dynasty, from a commoner to a person above, below ten thousand people, Kuang Heng's efforts are not ordinary people can persist.
Later, the cold door out of the takako is also used to describe Kuang Heng. Perhaps we all feel that Kuang Heng is a clean and innocent official who upholds justice, because of the hardships he experienced when he was a child, he will have a deeper experience, but the truth is completely different.
Power and money are the most difficult to pass in everyone's heart, and if you are not careful to go deeper, you will fall into it and cannot extricate yourself, which shows how much the charm of money is. And Kuang Heng's first hurdle since he became an official is this.
Kuang Heng originally wanted to be a justice minister, but he did not expect that in the face of the countless gold and silver treasures and the rights that could be obtained without effort, the idea of incorruptibility was too naïve, so he embezzled the first case he tried shortly after becoming an official. And these can no longer be contained once they start.
Lust:
Blatantly corrupt and perverted the law, the emperor at that time of the Han Dynasty chose to reward land to show the importance of courtiers, and the emperor would reward land use rights when he was a marquis.
And Kuang Heng took the extra 400 hectares of land at the time of measurement as his own, and even the emperor's reward dared to illegally occupy it, which shows that he usually embezzled other property, and often bullied other petty officials, often using his position as a minister to claim excess property for himself.
This kind of behavior had already violated the interests of the entire emperor, and at this time he deceived everyone with his kind and elegant appearance.
Of course, it was not only Kuang Heng who was corrupt, but also several ministers who joined forces with him, and when they joined forces, almost no one in the whole government resisted when they made decisions, and these decisions were often beneficial to themselves.
There was once a military general who disobeyed Kuang Heng's commands and orders. He believes that what Kuang Heng has done is to the detriment of the interests of the entire people. Kuang Heng also knew that if this General Chen Tang had always been against himself, then his own interests would be greatly reduced, and what he had done before would be exposed one by one.
In such a dangerous situation. So he had a more insidious plan. For the sake of his own power and interests, he and the eunuch Shi Xian framed the loyal general Chen Tang, who could fight for the country and the people.
The general Chen Tang was buried in the hands of this traitorous minister for the rest of his life, and the emperor at this time did not perceive the truth of this matter, so he was buried by Kuang Heng. After this incident, neither the military general nor the general Wen dared to disobey Kuang Heng's orders anymore.
When we think that Kuang Heng's actions are already the limit here, but there is no, he still wants to continue his rights from generation to generation, perhaps his heart does not want to live such a humble and poor life as before.
And his son did all the harm because his father was the minister of the court. When his son was accused of intentional homicide, he also personally went out to shield his son for his crime. Kuang Heng thought it would be as simple as before, but it didn't.
The family that was hurt did not shrink back because of power and coercion, and always insisted on suing Kuang Heng's son, and the matter became more and more noisy and finally was presented to the emperor by people with hearts. In the end, harm others and harm yourself.
On the pavement:
The emperor, who had done many evil deeds and finally suffered the consequences of the matter, also knew the cause and effect of the matter, and also knew what Kuang Heng had done, so overnight Kuang Heng changed from a person above one person and a beggar under ten thousand people to a commoner.
And Kuang Heng naturally could not accept such a change, he lived on the streets every day, and eventually died a miserable death.
His family also began to decay from him, his wife left early and his son ignored him, and in the end it seemed that the rest of his life was like this. I thought he would have a good future and an ending, but he didn't want to end up with such a consequence, which made posterity sigh.
And Kuang Heng is just an example of a dynasty, and there are more people and more corrupt officials who are harming the imperial court and harming the interests of the people, but we still can't see it.
Maybe they are also kind and kind on the surface of their clothes, but in fact, in private, they are beyond our imagination and vicious. Kuang Heng is a good example, when he was a child, he worked hard and grew up and was still trapped in the deep and unable to extricate himself, and many people later did not know the result.
So we only see the first half of him, so we teach the child this story in a vague way, but sometimes, we really know the person and the story to say good or bad.
brief summary:
We are the same in the path of life, sometimes we meet friends in the middle of the road, we don't know how he was before, we don't know, he will continue to be friendly with us in the future, but don't easily make up your mind that he is good or that he is not good.
Only a comprehensive understanding can make it clearer. Especially for today's children, only by establishing a correct value, outlook on life, and understanding comprehensive knowledge can they grow better.
