In ancient times, the lowest status was the cloth people. In the era of wars and chaos, the powerless and powerless people could not even eat enough to eat, which was particularly miserable. Therefore, many people want to enter the imperial court as officials. Especially the readers, they have been studying hard for decades, and their ultimate purpose is to pass the imperial examination and get the fame and fortune of the imperial court. However, there are always exceptions to everything, and in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a special commoner. This person was originally a cloth cloth, but he could see through the sky with his hands and eyes. The Manchu ministers were proud to know him, but the emperor ordered him to be killed.
This legendary man, named Guo Xie, is relatively short and looks easy to bully. But in fact, Guo Xie is shrewd and strong, and has been a fierce person since he was a child. Many people who have offended Guo Xie have basically become ghosts under the sword. With the passage of time, Guo Xie's reputation gradually became famous and was revered by many people. It is worth mentioning that in addition to Guo's dismissal of his fierce heart, he is still a very righteous person. Sometimes, they even risk their lives to avenge their friends. Because of this, Guo Xie also gathered a lot of friends around him, and often someone provided him with a way to make money.
However, Guo Xie did not do serious business, he had minted coins privately, dug graves, stole treasures from them, and done countless illegal activities. During this period, Guo Xie was also wanted by the government and encountered some threats, but he was often able to turn the danger into a disaster, even if he was captured by the government, he could also encounter amnesty. As a result, Guo Xie has been at large. Judging from these experiences alone, Guo Xie can also be regarded as a person with deep blessings. If Fu Had had a shallow life, he would have been severely punished by the imperial court, and even sentenced to death by the imperial court.
Because of his relatively large reputation, Guo Xie was often asked to mediate conflicts. Once, there were two groups of people in Luoyang who were enemies of each other, and their contradictions were particularly acute. Local Haojie could not mediate, so he invited Guo Xie over. As a result, he easily mediated the contradictions in Luoyang, and also put the credit on the head of the local Haojie, and as a result, he was recognized and respected by more people. In 127 BC, the imperial court publicly ordered that the rich people of the whole country be relocated to Maoling to settle down. The central objective of this order was to suppress the local magnates and stabilize the situation in the various counties, while concentrating power in the hands of the imperial court.
According to the regulations of the imperial court, only those with three million assets will be included in the migration list. Although Guo Xie's family did not have so much money, he was also included in the list of migration because of his great influence. Local officials, who had always been in awe of Guo Xie, took this opportunity to urge Guo Xie to relocate as soon as possible, and did not dare to let Guo Xie continue to stay in the local area. Later, the great general Wei Qing personally came forward to speak for Guo Xie, hoping that the imperial court could kick Guo Xie out of the migration list, but Emperor Wu of Han believed that since Guo Xie could get the general to help, he was not an ordinary person and had to migrate with others.
After Guo Xie was forced to move to Maoling, people in the Guanzhong area, hearing about his fame and deeds, rushed to the door, hoping to be friends with him. Over time, Guo Xie's influence, far from decreasing, increased a lot. Later, Guo Xie was denounced for killing Yang Jijue, and the imperial court immediately ordered a wanted arrest. After fleeing for a while, Guo Xie was captured by the imperial court. During this period, some officials reported to the imperial court to exonerate Guo. As a result, at the behest of the emperor, Yushi Dafu sentenced Guo Xie to capital punishment. At the same time, he also killed his family.
In essence, Guo Xie ended up like this for two main reasons. First, his unscrupulous behavior violated the laws of the dynasty, and the court had sufficient reasons to sentence him to death. Second, the imperial court was suppressing the local tyrants. Guo Xie was a cloth cloth, but he could see through the sky with his hands and eyes, so that the officials ran to the emperor to defend himself. This performance of playing with power and deceit as a civilian is even worse than his murder. For the Western Han Court, a person like Guo Xie was a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and it must be solved as soon as possible in order to stabilize its own dominance, so it will not be merciful to his subordinates at all.
