The nephew died in an accident while playing ball, and Zhu Wen was furious and killed seven important ministers of the Tang Dynasty. This incident took place in the changing era at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the power struggle and the darkness of human nature contained in it were shocking enough.
The sun was particularly bright that day, and his nephew Zhu Youlun and several friends met at the polo field in the barracks. Their laughter, the neighing of horses mingle together to create a vivid picture. Zhu Youlun was wearing a brocade robe and holding a polo cue, and his vigorous figure looked particularly heroic in the sun. Every swing was a round of applause.
However, in this seemingly ordinary polo match, the unexpected struck suddenly. The horse that Zhu Youlun was riding suddenly lost control, and he struggled in horror, trying to stabilize the horse. But it was too late, and he fell heavily from his horse, hitting his head on a hard stone. Blood suddenly gushed out, staining his brocade robe red.
When the news reached Zhu Wen's ears, he couldn't believe his ears. He hurried to the scene and saw his nephew lying in a pool of blood, already unconscious. Zhu Wen's heart was like a knife, he hugged his nephew's corpse and cried loudly, vowing to avenge him.
In the midst of grief, Zhu Wen began to track down the truth of the accident. He discovers that the accident was not an accident, but an elaborate conspiracy. It turned out that in order to weaken Zhu Wen's power, an important minister in the court secretly bribed the groom and drugged the horse's feed. This led to the tragedy of the horse losing control and Zhu Youlun's death.
Zhu Wen, who learned the truth, was extremely angry. He no longer cared about any circumstances, and ordered the important minister and his henchmen to be arrested one by one. During the interrogation, they confessed to more crimes, implicating other important officials in the court. Zhu Wen was furious and sentenced them all to death.
This purge shocked both the government and the opposition. People talked about Zhu Wen's atrocities, but all he could do was miss his nephew and anger at his enemies. He believes that only with this blood can he pay tribute to his nephew's dead and relieve the grief in his heart.
However, this atrocity also left Zhu Wen with a heavy infamy. His image in history has become complex and multifaceted, ranging from heroic and combative to brutal and ruthless. But in any case, the accidental death of his nephew Zhu Youlun has become a wound in his heart that can never be erased.
This incident not only reveals the fierceness of the power struggle within the court in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, but also shows the dark side of human nature in the face of power. A small accident can cause an uproar and change the fate of countless people. And anger and hatred can lead people to the path of destruction.
After his nephew's accidental death while playing ball, Zhu Wen's anger and atrocities left a deep warning to us. We should always keep a clear head and not be driven by power and hatred. In the face of the death of loved ones and the temptation of power, we should stick to the bottom line of morality and cherish a peaceful and peaceful life.
Looking back on this incident, we cannot help but ask: If Zhu Youlun had not died unexpectedly, would Zhu Wen have embarked on that tyrannical path? What would be the fate of his dynasty? However, history has no ifs, and we can only draw lessons from it and be vigilant against those factors that may lead to tragedy. At the same time, we should also reflect on the erosion of humanity caused by power struggles and try to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
This incident has taught us that power is a double-edged sword, which can bring glory and status, but also put people in a situation from which they will never recover. In the process of pursuing power, we must not forget our original intention and bottom line, and we must not violate morality for personal gain. Only in this way can we keep a clear head and make the right choice in the long river of complex and changeable history.
