Ji Huang: Abandon the official and run to the funeral, and chase after the righteousness

The five mountains rise in all directions, and the bottom of the pen is a thousand mountains. The opening chapter still reminds everyone to pay attention to protection when traveling. In the turbulent era of the late Han Dynasty, life and death were the norm, some people were star-studded, some people were dimmed, and they all reflected the sea of stars. This article will talk about Ji Huang.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, many Feng Yi people left their own deeds in the history books and revisited the list: Shan Zidao, Wang Jiuzhen, Guo Kai, Yang Wei, Zheng Gan, Wang Zhao, Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie, Yan Bao, Xu Ying, Yang Pei, Ji Mao, Ji Huang, Ji Ben, Yan Gan, Li Yi, Wang Yan, and Wang Jia. Among them, Ji Ben, Zhang Ji, Zhang Jie, Li Yi and several others are more well-known.

Ji Huang was Ji Mao's elder brother, who was moved from Gongfu to Changling Ling in the twelfth year of Jian'an (207), the so-called "Gongfu Tuan" refers to the officials of the Three Gongfu, combined with Ji Huang's act of hearing of Situ Zhao Wen's death and running to the funeral, he should have been recruited by Zhao Wen as a government official. In the case "Later Hanshu Xiandi Ji", Zhao Wen succeeded Yang Biao's Sikong in the third year of Chuping (192), and was dismissed from office within two months, and an earthquake occurred this month, so there were three dukes who were responsible for this.

"In the beginning, Mao Tong's brother Huang took the order of Changling from the Gongfu in the twelfth year" - The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms Changlin notes "Wei Luo"

Therefore, it was also a coincidence that Ji Huang could be favored by Zhao Wen in these two months, and Ji Huang had always read Zhao Wen's kindness to him, and after the news of Zhao Wen's death came, he ignored the requirements of the ban at that time and chose to abandon his official position to run for the funeral of his recommended lord. It was precisely because of the existence of officials like Ji Huang who abandoned their officials and ran to their deaths at every turn, that the imperial court would issue corresponding bans to prevent the affairs of the region from being handled.

"It was shike who forbade the chief official to go to the official, and Huang Wen Situ Zhao Wenxue, who thought that he was a former official, violated the discipline and ran to the funeral, and was accepted by Si Li Chung, so he was ambushed" - "Three Kingdoms Chronicles ChangLin Biography" notes "Wei Luo"

The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms contains several deeds of abandoning officials and running for funerals, and Mengzong once abandoned his official because of the death of his mother, and he very consciously went to Wuchang to turn himself in. Xie Jing was sad after Sun Deng's death and abandoned his official to go to the funeral, and afterwards wrote to impeach himself. As Wang Yun's former official, Zhao Huan also abandoned the official to collect the remains for him. Both the State of Wei and the State of Wu had a ban on abandoning officials and running to funerals, such as Hu Zong, who advocated imposing heavy punishments, and only one of the two identities of "loyal minister" and "filial piety" could be chosen.

And Ji Huang was arrested by lieutenant Zhong Xuan for violating the discipline, and judging from Ji Mao's belief that his brother "died after righteousness", Ji Huang should be executed after going to prison, which also shows that the imperial court deeply resents such things, and as for Ji Mao, he still approves of what his brother did.

"Mao Shi was dressed in white, and he was first known as Sanfu, thinking that his brother was sitting in pursuit of righteousness and dying, and he was angry and refused to cry" - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Changlin Biography" notes "Wei Luo"

If there is any omission, we hope to correct it.
