Corruption is the most common political problem in any country's history. Those beetles of the nation, stealing the wealth that the working people have worked so hard to create, and using it to satisfy their own selfish desires, are even more hateful.
In history, there are many people who have "left their names in history" because of corruption, but the most famous one should be the qing dynasty's corrupt official He Yan. In excellent film and television dramas such as "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", the famous performance artist Teacher Wang Gang interprets the insatiable image of Hezhen as ridiculous and hateful.
Because of his outstanding performance, this corrupt official in the Qianlong period became a household name. However, throughout the history of the feudal dynasties on the mainland, the first greedy person is not Hezhen, but someone else.
His level of corruption is even greater than that of Hezhen, who is one of the notorious Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Yi (fǔ). Today, let's talk about his story.
When he first entered the official field, he had no long skills and became a soldier, and he relied on his clever tongue to ascend to the position
When it comes to the great corrupt official Wang Yi, we must start with his career. Wang Yi's original name was Wang Fu ,王甫, literally Ming , Kaifeng Xiangfu ren , as a jinshi during the Chongning years , Wang Yi was a scholar , all the way through the pass , and finally stood out from tens of millions of people to obtain a meritorious name.
However, at that time, the entrance examination was only a prerequisite for entering the political arena, and the road to be taken to become an official and a knight, or even an extremely popular minister, was more difficult and more dangerous than to obtain a meritorious name. Compared with other fellow jinshi, Wang Yi's true talent and practical learning were far behind, so he couldn't rely on strength like others.
After obtaining the meritorious title, Wang Yi was transferred to join the army as the Commander of Xiangzhou and was responsible for compiling and revising the Nine Domains Chart. A small priest joined the army, and it was indeed a little difficult to look at in the official arena, and in such a situation, in order to obtain a higher status, he began to take a shortcut of his own.
Wang Yi was eloquent and good at clever words, and at that time, there was a man named He Zhi who participated in the study of books with Wang Yi, and he was successfully intimidated by the clever Wang Yi. He Zhi listened to Wang Yi's incessant talk on paper and felt that this person had the talent of heaven and earth, and "Xiu Zhi" simply buried his talent.
Therefore, He Zhi recommended Wang Yi to his father, He Zhizhong, who held an important position in the court. Coming to he Zhizhong, Wang Yi was even more spitting, and photographed the noble man in front of him. Later, He Zhizhong enthusiastically recommended Wang Yi to the emperor.
In this way, Wang Yi was promoted to the rank of school secretary with his three-inch uncorrupted tongue, and moved to the left sizhi, which also gave him the opportunity to have direct contact with the emperor and get benefits by patting the emperor's ass.
Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the vile little man rose all the way by pulling and stepping
As the saying goes: "It is better to do a good job than to follow the right person" because as long as you follow the right person and shoot the upper Sima Fart well, the promotion speed is much faster than those who are bitter and hard-working! Deeply inspired by this concept, Wang Yi began the second stage of his career promotion - following the powerful people and stepping on one to increase the rank of knight.
When he found that He Zhizhong could only help himself to this step, Wang Yi decisively gave up this leader who had the grace to support himself and began to attach himself to the new forces. After a period of research, he found that the power of the old prime minister Zhang Shangying had slowly weakened, but Cai Jing's power had slowly increased.
In order to get on Cai Jing's old fox's thief ship, Wang Yi took advantage of the opportunity that he could write to the book and speak, and praised some of the policies that Cai Jing had implemented at that time in front of Emperor Huizong of Song.
He even compared Cai Jing with Guan Zhong, Zhuge Liang, and others, and not only that, wang Yi spared no effort to slander Zhang Shangying while praising Cai Jing, saying that this old prime minister had not done a good job in his own work and was no longer useful.
It is conceivable that Emperor Huizong of Song, who had long favored Cai Jing, saw Wang Yi's remarks of holding on to the ground and immediately made up his mind to change his appearance. As a result, Cai Jing, one of the "big men" of the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, was an extremely popular subject for a time and began to embark on the road of harming the Great Song.
Cai Jing was very applicable to Wang Yi's behavior of recommending himself in the letter, and in order to thank Wang Yi, he made Wang Yi the left counselor after some operation. This is a member of the four major members of the DPRK and The Northern Song Dynasty, which means that this person has entered the core circle of the imperial court
However, Wang Yi's career is far from over. When Cai Jing's forces could not satisfy his own promotion, Wang Yi joined Liang Shicheng's team by stepping on Cai Jing and holding Liang Shicheng.
In order to show his "loyalty", Wang Yi did not hesitate to use his father's etiquette to treat this Liang Shicheng, who was similar to his own age, and his flattering posture was disgusting.
As the saying goes, things are grouped together in groups, and Liang Shicheng, who is also one of the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, is also very suitable for Wang Yi's set of "disgusting to home" operation. Not surprisingly, under the support of Liang Shicheng, Wang Yi was promoted to the eighth rank by the Tonghui Doctor and appointed as the prime minister, which was unprecedented since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The villain is extremely ambitious, insatiable, and greedy for the country
Looking back at Wang Yi's promotion history, he showed the "despicable and shameless, flattering and flattering villain's face" to the fullest, but what made people grit his teeth even more was that this minister in a high position did not work for the country and the people, but instead walked out of the "characteristics" and out of the "style" on the road of corruption.
Wang Yi, who became the prime minister, patted the emperor's ass on the court, formed a party behind his back, and not only that, he also wantonly searched for gold and silver treasures of political enemies. Wang Yi has a perverted habit of taking wives and concubines, and in order to achieve this goal, he will frame others, let others go to jail, and then occupy other people's wives.
In addition, in terms of embezzling money, Wang Yi also gave full play to his talents, and he asked Emperor Huizong to set up a bureau of yingfeng, and he also served as a retainer. On the surface, this Ying Feng Bureau was helping Emperor Huizong to collect the treasures of the world, but in fact, the money looted by the bureau was collected by him and squandered.
At that time, Emperor Huizong of Song, who was in the dark, still felt that Wang Yi was able to do things. However, he did not know that the treasure in his hand was only one-tenth of that in Wang Yi's mansion. The corruption of a courtier has brought ten times as much treasure as the current emperor, and the intensity of this corruption is really unprecedented.
Wang Yi also set up the Ying Feng Bureau, the Economic Care Room, etc., specifically responsible for border affairs, this institution is mainly to count the number of labor, but under the skillful operation of Wang Yi, this institution has also become a tool for accumulating wealth.
It is reported that by relying on this institution, Wang Yi actually accumulated a huge fortune of 62 million yuan. Wang Yi, who was so greedy that he was even embarrassed, actually bought five or six empty cities during the war as a reward for victory and won the favor of Emperor Huizong, which was rare in the history of such a strange operation.
Wang Yi, who coveted the world, thought of Xiang Yu's allusion to "Night Walking in Brocade Clothes", and began to show off to everyone in a dignified manner, and the object of his show off was the sworn enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin people. What is even more interesting is that seeing the mountains of treasures piled up in Wang Yi's mansion, the Jin people are even more salivating over the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty.
For a time, the Jin people were determined to capture the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty and plunder these infinite wealth back, it can be said that Wang Yi's act of showing off the stolen goods laid hidden dangers for the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, before the Jin people could launch the Battle of Jingkang, Wang Yi, who was greedy and indignant, was punished.
Zhongliang like Li Gang in the DPRK denounced Wang Yi's unspeakable corruption crimes, and the Hui Sect sent people to find out the truth and exterminate Wang Yi's family, and this huge greed finally deserved it and ended his life of corruption.
It is said that Wang Yibi and Yan are greedy, not only because the number of corruption is far greater than that of Hezhen, but also because he is greedy: for his own corruption, he can cross the river and tear down the bridge, and he will take revenge.
Once those who had helped him in his career lost their usefulness, Wang Yi would mercilessly betray them to be promoted to knighthood. Wang Yi was not only greedy and inferior, but he was also greedy and ruthless, and did his best to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, so that the people would not be able to live well, and everyone would like to get rid of it quickly.
Not only was he greedy and lawless, he was also greedy for losing power and humiliating the country, and Wang Yi, who was good at lying in the nest, bowed his knees in the face of the Golden Kingdom, betrayed the country and sought glory, and directly destroyed the country and mountains. This kind of "traitor" who is bent on his knees is destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame of history and spurned by the people of all the worlds. What do you think about this person?
