In today's society, everyone has friends, and it is very common for them to visit each other's doors and ask for a meeting, and they can also contact each other. However, the following emperor's favorite courtier, a friend visiting, happened to be looking for pleasure, so he lied that he was not at home, which led to the catastrophe of extermination, and he was slashed with a thousand knives and killed all over the door.
This minister was Lai Junchen, the most favored cool official of Wu Zetian during the Wu Zhou Period. After Wu Zetian became emperor, the Li clan and many ministers in the DPRK were very opposed, and many forces colluded and undercurrents swelled. Therefore, in order to crack down on these people, Wu Zetian reused cool officials, of whom Lai Junchen was the most outstanding, this person was the best at catching wind and shadows, planting stolen goods, and was able to fabricate crimes according to Wu Zetian's preferences and skillfully reduce dissidents.
Moreover, a lot of torture was invented, so that the ministers saw him as if they had seen the living yama king, because once they were targeted by Lai Junchen, then they were not far from death. However, this Wu Zetian favored minister, a cool official, ended up very miserable, he was stabbed with a thousand knives, and his family was destroyed, but the cause was a visit from a friend.
Lai Junchen has a subordinate and good friend, called Wei Suizhong, is also a cool official, this Wei Suizhong can be said to be the thug raised by Lai Junchen, once he wants to frame a certain minister, this Wei Suizhong charges forward. Once, Wei Suizhong drank wine, and drunkenly came to Lai Junchen's home as usual to ask for a meeting and discuss something. Unexpectedly, Lai Junchen's housekeeper reported that Lai Junchen was not at home, and Wei Suizhong could still hear the laughter of the back hall, and at this time he also drank wine, and he did not understand why Lai Junchen did not see himself at home.
So I directly broke in, just saw Lai Junchen drinking and having fun, this Wei Suizhong didn't know what was going on, he directly scolded, it is estimated that it is now "your boy is obviously at home, why don't you see me, what does it mean" and so on. However, Lai Junchen was pointed at the nose and scolded, and his face was very unbearable, and he felt that his face was lost, so he directly tied up Wei Suizhong and beat him up and blasted out.
After this Wei Suizhong woke up, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, so he made up his mind that this vendetta would be repaid, and he must bring down Junchen. So he went directly to the palace of King Wei, that is, Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Chengsi, and directly said to Wu Chengsi: "Does the Great King know the name of the last time Lai Junchen hit him with a stone?" ”。 Wu Chengsi said that he did not know, and Wei Suizhong immediately said, "It is you the King of Wei, Lai Junchen is plotting to sue you for rebellion", and this Wu Chengsi was frightened and sat on the ground.
Because, at that time, there was a rule for Junchen to handle the case, anyway, it was framed, and he did not know who to frame first, so he carved the names of the alternative officials on the ground, and then smashed them with stones, and hit whoever was who, and began to fabricate the charges and prepare false accusations. This was said again by Junchen's close friend Wei Suizhong, and he had to believe it.
Therefore, Wu Chengsi decided to strike first. United Wu Sansi, Princess Taiping, and others ran to Wu Zetian to cry and complain, pointing out his sins and bad deeds. At first, Wu Zetian was still a little reluctant, and finally under pressure, he also ordered that the cool official Lai Junchen be slashed with a thousand swords and exterminated the clan. A generation of cool officials actually died at the hands of friends.
