Tian Jie was the half-brother of Wang Jie, the mother of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty. When I was young, I was not noble. However, after Liu Che was made crown prince, his mother was crown prince, and Wang's status was rapidly improved. After Emperor Jing's death, Liu Che ascended the throne, and Wang Xian was also crowned empress dowager. Although Empress Dowager Dou held great power at that time, Empress Dowager Dou was old after all, and many things in the palace had to be handled by Empress Dowager Wang.
Empress Dowager Dou died, Liu Che was pro-government, and the harem was also decided by Empress Wang. Wang Xian, who had been suppressed all along, was finally liberated, and she was not satisfied with the management of the harem, but began to intervene in politics and seek benefits for her relatives. His younger brother Tian Sheng and Wang Xin were not enough to reuse, and only another younger brother, Tian Feng, could be trusted.
Still
In this way, Tian Yue relied on the status of uncle of the state to rise to the top, all the way to the official to the chancellor. This process contradicts the old foreign relative Dou Bao, and the two eventually fall in love. Dou Infant was arrested by Tian Bao for dou bao, who defended dou fu and Tian Feng in the court to save dou fu, and was framed instead, and later, Dou Bao was beheaded for "forging a will". Soon Tian Yu lost his heart and said "confess" and "thank you" all day long. The wizard said that dou bao and dou bao were holding on to Tian Feng between the two, and Tian Tian died of a violent illness not long after.
Is the death of Tian Yu related to the ghosts of Dou Babies? Is the so-called "confession" and "thanksgiving" what dou bao said? I think it should be said to Emperor Wu. The words of the wizard were also made up, which could make the emperor of the current dynasty frightened and bold, and believe that only the emperor of the dynasty was there. Why Tian Ye was frightened by Emperor Wu, carefully analyzed, there are the following factors:
First, good at sophistry
The field is clumsy, but studious. The history books record that he was skillful in writing and became a lang official very early. Lang Guan was an attendant of the emperor, and if he didn't have some knowledge, how could he stay. It can be seen from here that Tian Ye's learning is still good. When Emperor Wu first ascended the throne, Empress Dou assumed power, and as a lieutenant, he and Dou Bao jointly promoted Confucianism. If he did not seriously study Confucianism, how could he understand the implementation?
In addition to Confucian classics, Tian Yu also had books such as Pan Lu, which were compatible with the contents of confucianism, ink, name, and law. Therefore, Tian Yue is not only skillful in words, he can also speak eloquently. It is precisely because he is knowledgeable and clever, so his sister Empress Wang is very important to him.
Second, arrogance and arrogance
When Tian Yue was not yet noble, he treated people very respectfully and did not show arrogance. When he was still a Lang official, Dou Bao was already a great general and a big red man by Emperor Jing's side. Every time Tian Yu went to Dou Baby's house to accompany the waiter to drink, he would kneel and stand up like Dou Baby's descendants. However, after Empress Dou's death, Liu Che came to power, and Empress Wang strongly recommended her younger brother Tian Jie, and Emperor Wu initially trusted Tian Jie. Dou Bao slowly faded out of the core circle of power of the empire. At this time, Tian Yu's attitude towards Dou Bao had undergone a complete change. Dou Bao even gave him a toast at Tian Feng's wedding, but Tian Fei ignored him and had an extremely bad attitude. Dou Bao's friend Dou Fu made a big fuss about Tian Bao's wedding banquet, which directly led to the conflict between Tian Fei and Dou Bao, and eventually both sides were defeated. If the field oyster can lower its posture a little, it may be calmer in the future.
Tian Feng is arrogant to outsiders and sometimes very rude to his brothers. Wang Xin was his half-brother, Tian Yu once invited relatives and friends to a banquet, Wang Xin was also present at the time, Tian Feng asked him to sit south, but he sat in the east, on the grounds that the prime minister was honorable, and it was not possible to destroy the etiquette (sitting in the east direction is more honorable than sitting in the south direction) because Wang Xin was an elder brother. Wang Xin could only hold back his voice.
III. Forming Parties for Personal Gain
After Empress Dowager Dou's death, Emperor Wu spared both Xu Chang and Zhuang Qingzhai, the imperial chancellor, on the grounds that they were ineffective in curing the funeral. Both of them were appointed and dismissed by Empress Dowager Dou, and both obeyed Empress Dowager Dou. In addition to the guilt, Emperor Wu was obviously looking for someone he could trust to be the prime minister, and his uncle Tian Yue was the best candidate.
Since Tian Yu became a chancellor, Emperor Wu trusted him a lot, and many political affairs had to consult Tian Feng. When the scholars of the world saw that Tian Yu was favored, they left Dou Bao and defected to Tian Fei. Tian Yue was also really powerful, and most of the people he recommended were appointed, and even a person who was idle at home could be promoted to an official position of two thousand stones at once. The official position of two thousand stones is very high.
Tian Yue's constant appointment of his own cronies as court officials greatly weakened the imperial power, which aroused the attention and dissatisfaction of Emperor Wu. Once, Tian Yu recommended his cronies to Emperor Wu as officials, and Emperor Wu said angrily, "Have the officials you want to appoint already been appointed?" He also wanted to appoint a few officials. This sentence is actually a warning to the field aphid.
Fourth, insatiable greed
In fact, Tian Yu has the ability to do it, but this person's biggest weakness is greed, and it is his greed that slowly pushes him to extinction.
Tian Yu was very fond of building houses, and his residence was the most beautiful of all the officials and princes. However, he did not meet the requirements, and even asked that the territory of the Examiner's Office be allocated to him to expand his residence. The Examination Bureau was a arsenal of weapons, and Tian Yu even had an idea of the arsenal, and when Emperor Wu found out, he scolded, "Why don't you take away the arsenal as well?" In other words: Are you trying to rebel? This is actually another blow to the field tortoise.
Not only did He like beautiful houses, he also liked fertile land. In 132 BC, the Yellow River diverted its course to the south, and the sixteen counties were severely flooded. His family's fiefdom was in the north, so he strongly opposed the restoration of the river to the north, so that the project was delayed for more than two decades, and many farmers were displaced.
Tian Yu also likes the land of other people's homes. Dou Baby zi committed a crime, and Tian Yu came forward to rescue Dou Baby Zi. Afterwards, Tian Yu sent a disciple to Ask Dou Bao for a field south of the city. Dou Bao was very angry and refused Tian Tian's request. JiFu turned out to be Dou Bao's protégé and was grateful to Dou Bao, so he persuaded Tian Yu to give up asking for Dou Baby's land. However, Tian Fei and Dou Bao had already formed a gap.
Later, Tian Yu and the daughter of king Yan held a wedding banquet, and Dou Bao and Dou Fu also attended their wedding banquet. Because Tian Yue and others treated Dou Baby rudely, the bushman could not see it, so he made a big fuss about the wedding banquet. Tian Yu arrested the bushman on the grounds that he had committed the following crimes.
In order to rescue his friends, Dou Infant applied to Emperor Wu to debate with Tian Yu in the court. When it comes to debate, Tian Yu is naturally not afraid. Emperor Wu was even happier, and he was happy to see the two forces of the imperial court fighting and reaping the benefits of the fisherman himself.
The debate was really exciting, and at first it was just a question of whether the bushman should drink and make trouble or not to punish him. Tian Fei reported other criminal acts of the bushman. When Dou Infant saw Tian Yu talking about other things, he began to expose Tian Fei's collusion with the princes, and Tian Fei directly said that Dou Bao was dissatisfied with the imperial court and had the heart of rebellion. The facts of Dou Fu's crime were quickly confirmed, and Dou Infant was suspected of rebellion and was detained by Emperor Wu, while there was no substantial evidence of Tian Yi's rebellion. Later, Dou Infant said that there was a testament from Emperor Xian that needed to meet Emperor Wu, but when he checked the archives kept by Shangshu, he did not have the last will of Emperor Jing on his deathbed. Therefore, the shuffler was exterminated, and Dou Infant was beheaded for the crime of forging the will.
It seems that Tian Yu won a big victory in the debate, but in essence, it was a lose-lose situation. Although Dou Bao died, Emperor Wu was also dissatisfied with Tian Yu. Although Emperor Wu did not have evidence of Dou Bao's revelation of Tian Yu's collusion with the princes, it also attracted Emperor Wu's attention. Unclean Tian Yue was naturally afraid, and if Emperor Wu pursued it, it would only be a matter of time before the truth came out. It was entirely possible for the ministers to collude with the princes to exterminate the clan, and it was entirely possible that Tian Yu would collapse under tremendous pressure and collapse his psychological defense line and eventually become insane.
Did the Tian Yu collude with the princes? There really is. This time, it was not the land that linked Tian Yu and the princes, but gold and silver treasures. Liu An, the king of Huainan, plotted against him and was detected by Emperor Wu, who sent men to capture him. Liu An committed suicide, but learned one thing during the interrogation. This incident is recorded in the "Records of History": King An of Huainan plotted against himself and ruled. In the former dynasty of the king, when The Marquis of Wu'an was a lieutenant, he welcomed the king to the top of the throne, saying that "there is no prince in the upper part, the most virtuous of the great kings, and the grandchildren of the high ancestors." That is, the palace car Yan driving, not the great king Li, when who ya! "The king of Huainan was overjoyed, and he left a lot of gold and treasure. I will simply translate Tian Yue's words: "Your Majesty has no crown prince now, and you are the most virtuous and the grandson of Emperor Gao." If one day the emperor passes away, who should not succeed you! ”
When Tian Yu said this, Emperor Wu was only seventeen years old, and Liu An was already forty years old. This is undoubtedly a curse on Emperor Wu for being childless and dying early. According to Emperor Wu's practice of deposing Empress Dowager Chen and destroying the crown prince because of witchcraft, Tian Yi would be exterminated by Emperor Wu no matter what purpose he said this. Finally, Emperor Wu understood the situation and said, "Make The Marquis of Wu'an present, clan!" ”
Tian Yue's death is due to greed, and if he can restrain himself, he may have a good ending. Fortunately, he died early, otherwise, the whole family would have been tired of him.
