The term "Five Days Jingzhao" comes from the Hanshu Zhang Chang Biography, which is used to describe short-sightedness and lack of long-term planning. Jing Zhao Yin was the highest administrator of the Jing Zhao region in the Han Dynasty, equivalent to one-third of the secretary of the Chang'an Municipal Party Committee. As we all know, the magistrates at the feet of the Son of Heaven are difficult to do, too close to the sky, all kinds of contradictions, interpersonal relationships are too complicated, only a few people can control and go down in history, Zhang Chang is such a person.
Zhang Chang served as Jing Zhaoyin during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, he treated his subordinates very well, and he was never stingy with money and official positions, which made people happy to give him his life. Just when he was doing a good job and the social security in Chang'an City was very good, something happened.
His friend, Yang Yun, the nephew of Ma Qian of Taishi Company, was demoted because of his words offended the emperor, during the observation period, Yang Dagongzi not only did not clamp his tail and behaved, but often held parties in the countryside, which completely annoyed the emperor, Yang Yun was beheaded, and people who were good friends with him were implicated, and even dismissed, including Zhang Chang.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Chang must be finished this time, but the emperor withheld the impeachment of Zhang Chang and delayed dealing with him. Why? Because it's so hard to find a good Kyung Zhao Yin!
After the accident, Zhang Chang continued to arrange the scheduling work and did not slack off. He arranged for the little official Su Shun to do the case evidence collection work, and this Su Shun used to be quite tame and obedient. is such a good buddy and a good subordinate, but his performance today is very different from the past. I saw that Su Shun not only ignored Zhang Chang, but also disappeared from the enthusiasm for work in the past, which made Zhang Chang very surprised. What was even more surprising was that after receiving the work, Su Shun went home and went straight to sleep. My colleague couldn't stand it, and persuaded Su Shun, how well Lord Zhang usually treats you, you can't pick and choose at this time. Su Shun said: I have done my best for him, he is a "five-day Jingzhao", and he can't do it for long.
After Zhang Chang learned of Su Shun's attitude, he asked Su Shun to be arrested, at this time there were only five days left before the winter moon, according to the Han rules, after the beginning of spring, he could not kill people, Zhang Chang let people try the case day and night, and the case was closed within five days, and five days later he was sentenced to Su Shun for dereliction of duty and other crimes. Before the execution, Zhang Chang sent someone to say to Su Shun: "What happened to Jingzhao on the fifth day? ”
After this incident, Zhang Chang was dismissed, but soon the order of the Beijing division was in chaos, and the new Jing Zhaoyin could not be suppressed at all, and Emperor Xuan of Han hurriedly recalled Zhang Chang.
But Zhang Chang did a little too much in the execution of Su Shun after all, which brought great disaster to himself and his descendants. After Zhang Chang's death, his descendants were left without protection, and the Su Shun family sent assassins to kill Zhang Chang's second son.
Comments
Zhang Chang's momentary happiness and enmity left a long-term hidden danger. In fact, human nature is all due to profit, because of profit and scattered, don't do things as soon as you make a move, leave no way back, leave no room, especially for a villain like Su Shun, it's really not worth it.
