The emperor is the nine-five-year-old, in the ancient feudal dynasty, the emperor is the biggest ruler, although sometimes the emperor is also a puppet, but still the emperor, the power of the courtiers still have to rely on the emperor's authority to issue orders, the so-called blackmail of the son of heaven to order the princes is also, from the Spring and Autumn Period of Guan Zhong, to the fall of the Qing Dynasty is all the same, house arrest of the emperor, the emperor, quietly kill the emperor also have, but there are not many who dare to stab the emperor in front of everyone, Cheng Ji is one of them.
Many people are not very familiar with Chengji, only senior Three Kingdoms fans, only know a little about Chengji, because there are too few records of Chengji, and what he did was to assassinate The Emperor of the State of Wei, Cao Xian, in public.
The reason why Cheng Ji is a small person, because he is indeed a small person, his life is not, only in the matter of killing Cao Xi and later his death is recorded, other such as his ancestors, his growth experience is not, he killed Cao Xi when he was still a prince Sheren, how he became a prince Sheren is not recorded, for thousands of years of history, he is really just a drop in the ocean, if there is no killing of Cao Xian, maybe he is just a name in the history books.
But Cheng Ji mistakenly chose to obey Jia Chong and went forward to stab Cao Xi to death, just this "feat", let history remember his name, he is also an example of a small person changing history, but from the perspective of Cheng Ji's behavior, Cheng Ji should be a warrior without any political brains.
First of all, let's look at the performance of Cheng Ji during the assassination of the emperor, "Records of the Three Kingdoms Volume IV, Wei Shu IV, and Chronicle of the Three Shao Emperors": "(May of the fifth year of Ganlu) Pengshen (June 21, 260), the great general Wen Wang shang said: "The noble township gong will lead the soldiers from driving the soldiers, drawing the blade and sounding the golden drum to the subject; fearing that the soldiers will be connected, that is, the generals shall not be harmed, and violate the order to engage in military law." The duke Cheng's younger brother, Prince Sherenji, crossed into the army Chen Wounded Gong and died; the records of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are relatively simple, but the names of Cheng Ji and Cheng Li are mentioned, and it is said that Cheng Ji injured Cao Ji and caused his death.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms was written in the Western Jin Dynasty and was defended by those who helped the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Han Jin Spring and Autumn Chronicle, written in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was compiled by Xi Chisel, which considered the Shu Han to be orthodox, and the record is more detailed: the Chinese protector Jia Chong fought against the emperor under the Southern Que, and the emperor used his own sword. The crowd wanted to retreat, and the crown prince Asked Cheng ji, "Things are urgent." When the cloud is what? Chong Yue: "Livestock breeding Ru, etc., is exactly today." Today's matter, do not ask anything. "Ji is the former assassin emperor, and the blade is out of the back."
Pei Song's note "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" quotes the record of the "Late Wei Biography", which is even more explicit: Jia Chong called on cheng ji under the account: "If the Sima family is defeated, will Ru and others have a kind of feeling?" Why not strike! The two brothers were handsome men, and Gu Yue said, "When you kill evil? Clinging to evil? Chong: "Kill it." Soldiers, emperor said: "Let the battle go!" "The great generals and soldiers all let go to battle. The Ji brothers stabbed the emperor before, and the emperor reversed the car.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms does not record Jia Chong's role in it, but through some records in the Book of Jin, Jia Chong is difficult to get rid of, Yu Chun believes that Jia Chong is a traitor, the two people once quarreled at the banquet presided over by Jia Chong, Jia Chong said that he assisted two generations of kings, and also unified Bashu, Yu Chun asked: Where is the Noble Township Duke (Cao Fu)? None of them spoke, and it could be seen that Jia Chong was actually the one who ordered Cao Xi's killing.
When Cao Xi led the soldiers to rush to Sima Zhao's mansion, he encountered Jia Chong with Cheng Ji to intercept, Cao Xi drank heavily, all the soldiers did not dare to move, Cheng Ji was also hesitant in this matter, after all, the other party was the emperor, the orthodox emperor, so he asked Jia Chong what to do with this matter, this question fully exposed Jia Chong actually had no political mind, at this time Cheng Ji should pretend to be crazy and stupid, even if he received the order, he could also show that he had tried his best, and Jia Chong seized the opportunity and said vaguely: The Sima family usually raises you. Just for now. Jia Chong did not order what to do, but Cheng Ji received the order he thought, so he killed Cao Xian, and this killing made his death date not far away.
The Chengji brothers believe that they are meritorious to the Sima family, even if there is no reward, they will not die, but he underestimated the cruelty of politics, from this matter it is true, but the real meritorious is actually Jia Chong, when Sima Zhao asked Chen Tai what to do next, Chen Tai's request was to kill Jia Chong, but Sima Zhao certainly disagreed, because Jia Chong was a die-hard fan of Sima Zheng, killing Jia Chong would make the people who followed the Sima family chill, but the crowd at that time was indignant, and Sima Zhao had to find a scapegoat. So this scapegoat can only have Cheng Ji who is in charge of the knife.
Of course, the Chengji brothers did not obey, we have no merit and hard work, no hard work will not die, so they can't accept it, but Sima Zhao has no way, can only pull the Chengji brothers out to block the mouth of the Yoyos, maybe it is going to die, the IQ of the Chengji brothers is also on the line, the two people made a shocking move, giving Sima Zhao a heavy blow.
"Wei's Spring and Autumn": The Chengji brothers do not immediately ambush the sin, but ascend to the house, the ugly words are slow, and the shooting from the bottom is the annihilation. It means that the Chengji brothers do not admit guilt, do not wear clothes to climb to the roof, insult Sima Zhao, this is the performance of the Chengji brothers IQ on the line, do not wear clothes in order to attract more people's attention, standing on the roof is to expand the influence, if it is caught in the house and then killed, the effect is not good, but this to the roof without clothes, the transmission effect is still different, although the Chengji brothers were finally shot, but for Sima Zhao's reputation is a heavy blow, originally Cao Zhao's death has made Sima Zhao busy The behavior of the Chengji brothers undoubtedly made Sima Zhao's situation worse.
As far as the Chengji brothers themselves are concerned, they certainly do not want to leave their names in the history books in this way, after all, they are already princes and princesses, and it is not better to live this life in peace and stability, after all, a person is also a grain of dust in the long river of history, if only in this way to leave a name in the history books, most people will not accept, in the end history chose Chengji, or Chengji's behavior rewrote history, this can only be experienced by the parties themselves.
