Teachers are not good, and there are things that are naughty and students are angry, not only in the present, but also in ancient times. However, no matter how old or modern, teachers are "played" to death by their own academic life, but very few. However, less does not mean no, xiao Wangzhi, a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, was played to death by his own obedient student Emperor Yuan of Han.
Xiao Wangzhi was a native of Lanling, Shandong, erudite and talented, proficient in Confucianism, and very famous. At that time, Huo Guang was in charge, so Bingji recommended Xiao Wangzhi to Huo Guang. Xiao Wangzhi also began his career as an official eunuch.
Xiao Wangzhi was able to adhere to the principles of Confucianism, and was quite dissatisfied with the powerful minister Huo Guang's flying and stubborn behavior, and even criticized Huo Guang in person for not having the "courtesy of the Zhou Gong Xiangcheng King's bowing and shaking", so he was not used by Huo Guang. After three years of mixing with Huo Guang, Wang Zhongweng, who was recommended at the same time as him, had already become a Guanglu doctor and gave things to the matter, while Xiao Wangzhi was still only a janitor guarding the east gate of Xiaoyuan and could not be promoted.
After Huo Guang's death, Xiao Wangzhi's official fortunes were able to flourish. During the three years and one year of the Di Festival, Xiao Wangzhi "moved to the Doctor of the Imperial Household, the Emperor Of The Emperor Zhizhi, the Third Migration of the Middle Ages, and the Official to Two Thousand Stones", huo's plot against the rebellion, Xiao Wangzhi was reused by Emperor Xuan of Han, and was repeatedly used as a key object of investigation and sent to the local area for training. In the third year of the Divine Lord, Xiao Wangzhi became the Imperial Grand Master and ranked third duke, which can be described as a high position of authority.
According to normal logic and the custom of appointing officials in the Western Han Dynasty, after becoming the Imperial Grand Master, Xiao Wang's next step was to hope to serve as a chancellor. But unfortunately, at this moment, Xiao Wangzhi did two stupid things and completely cut off his way up.
First, the Great Si Nong Geng Shouchang proposed to set up Changping Cang, which was approved by Emperor Xuan of Han, "Good", but Xiao Wangzhi raised objections;
Second, Cheng Xiang Bingji was old, and Emperor Xuan of Han respected him very much, but Xiao Wangzhi wrote a letter criticizing Bingji for being incompetent and having a vegetarian corpse, saying: "The people may be poor, the thieves have not stopped, and they will not serve under the two thousand stones." If the three dukes are not their people, then the three lights are unknown, and the sun and the moon are less light in the first year of this year, and the blame is on the ministers and so on. ”
On the question of whether he should set up a permanent liquidation position, the emperor agreed, and Xiao Wangzhi opposed it, indicating that he and the emperor's political views were not in line with each other. In this case, unless Emperor Xuan of Han had his brain in the water, how could he possibly appoint a person who did not agree with his political views to be the prime minister?
Xiao Wangzhi's criticism of Bingji's incident lacked both political vision and was not generous enough. Although Bingji is old, he is highly respected and respected, which is a banner set up by Emperor Xuan of Han, who made Bingji a minister and valued not talent but fame. However, Xiao Wangzhi criticized Bingji with lack of talent, which lacked political vision; moreover, when Xiao Wangzhi was able to enter the official field, it was still recommended by Bingji, and now Xiao Wangzhi in turn criticized Bingji, which is also rude.
In short, Xiao Wangzhi did these two things, which made Emperor Xuan of Han very unhappy, so he was dismissed from the post of Imperial Grand Master and appointed as the Crown Prince's Wife, becoming the teacher of Crown Prince Liu Yi. During his tenure as the crown prince's teacher, Xiao Wangyi served for several years until the death of Emperor Xuan of Han.
In 49 BC, Emperor Xuan of Han became seriously ill and appointed his cousin Shi Gao as the general of sima cheqi, Xiao Wangzhi as the former general Guanglu Xun, and Zhou Kan as guanglu dafu. Later, Emperor Xuan of Han died, and the crown prince Liu Yi took the throne as Emperor Yuan of Han.
Because Xiao Wangzhi and Zhou Kan were teachers of emperor Yuan of Han, they were highly respected, and they repeatedly met with Tianzi in their leisure time to discuss the strategy of governing the country. In addition, Xiao Wangzhi also recommended that Liu Gengsheng, a member of the clan, be a member of the imperial family, and work with Jin Chang to assist Emperor Yuan of Han in handling government affairs. As a result, Xiao Wangzhi, Zhou Kan, Liu Gengsheng, and Jin Chang formed a small political group around Emperor Yuandi of Han, left and right, and even controlled Emperor Yuandi of Han.
So the question arises, Scott is also a minister of life, Xiao Wangzhi and so on, is not it to exclude Scott from the center of power? Scott must have been very angry and unhappy, so he hooked up with Zhongshu Ling Honggong and servant Shi Xian.
Honggong and Shi Xian were eunuchs, and after Emperor Yuan of Han ascended the throne, he naively thought that they were "cardinals of jiudian and learned grammar", and that they were eunuchs, and there were no foreign parties, so they could be assured to participate in politics.
As a result, two political groups were formed around Emperor Yuan of Han, one was the group of scholars and doctors headed by Xiao Wangzhi, and the other was the group of eunuchs and foreign relatives headed by Shi Xian and Shi Gao. These two groups are vying for power and profit from each other, and there is no room for fire and water, and a political struggle between life and death is inevitable.
In 47 BC, Xiao Wangzhi and others first attacked, and wrote to Emperor Yuan of Han to request that Shi Xian, Honggong and other eunuchs be stripped of the right to the state secret book, but Emperor Yuan of Han hesitated.
Shi Xian, who had been hit with a stick, jointly accused Xiao Wangzhi and others of forming a party for personal gain, alienating Emperor Yuandi of Han Yuan and his foreign relatives Xu jia and shi jia, and wanted to monopolize power and control the government of the dynasty. Shi Xian and Honggong finally said: Xiao Wangzhi and others "for the sake of disloyalty and false accusations, please summon the gurudwara to the court lieutenant." ”
"Please summon the Gurudwara to the Tingwei" is to send Xiao Wangzhi and others to prison, but the ridiculous thing is that the Han Yuan Emperor actually did not know, he thought, "Please summon the Gurudwara to the Tingwei" just let Xiao Wangzhi and others go to the Tingwei Mansion to drink tea, and by the way, it will be all right to accept the investigation.
Therefore, Emperor Yuan of Han agreed to the request of Shi Xian and others, and "summoned one of Xiao Wang's cadres to the court". Soon, Emperor Yuan of Han wanted to summon Zhou Kan and Liu Gengsheng, only then did he learn that Xiao Wangzhi, Zhou Kan, and Liu Gengsheng had all been imprisoned by himself, and he was horrified: "Not only did Ting Wei ask evil!" "Hurry up and get ready to get someone to release them all."
At this time, Shi Gao gave an idea to the Han Yuan Emperor: "Shangxin is on the throne, and he is not known in the world with virtue, but the master is a priori." That is, the prison of the Ninth Secretary and the Doctor should be dismissed by decision. The confused and masterless Emperor Yuan of Han listened to Shi Gao's advice and spared Zhou Kan and Liu Gengsheng from being commoners, and although Xiao Wangzhi was acquitted, he also lost the seal of the former general and Guanglu Xun.
That is to say, this round, due to the ignorance of Emperor Yuan of Han, Xiao Wangzhi and others lost miserably. However, staying in Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, Xiao Wangzhi and others believe that although they have "vomited blood for several liters" before, as long as they do not die, there is still hope of pulling back.
Sure enough, Emperor Yuan of Han soon reconquered Zhou Kan and Liu Gengsheng, wanting to become the Grand Master, and gave Xiao Wang's title of Marquis of Guannei and prepared to appoint him as a chancellor. However, at this critical moment, Xiao Wangzhi's son wrote to Emperor Yuan of Han to seek revenge on behalf of his father's previous innocent imprisonment.
This is really just trying to sleep when someone sent a pillow, looking for no way to find such a good opportunity. Shi Xian and others immediately instructed the relevant trial departments to write to Emperor Yuan of Han, saying: Xiao Wangzhi's case is conclusively proven and there is no false accusation, and now Xiao Wangzhi has actually claimed to be innocent and instigated his son to re-file a complaint.
Honggong, Shi Xian, and others also instigated from the side that Emperor Yuan of Han should approve the arrest of Xiao Wangzhi, saying: "Wangqian was a general to assist the government, and he wanted to withdraw Xu and Shi, and monopolize the dynasty. Fortunately, he did not sit down, restored the knighthood, heard about political affairs, did not repent of his sins, harbored deep resentment, taught his son to write, returned to the top, thought that he was entrusted to the master, and did not sit in the end. If one does not aspire to prison, but if one is remorseful, then the holy pilgrimage will die to be gracious. ”
The reason why Shi Xian and others were bent on encouraging Emperor Yuan of Han to arrest Xiao Wangzhi was because they knew that Xiao Wangzhi was famous, dignified, and very high-minded, and certainly could not bear the humiliation of being arrested. However, the ignorant Emperor Yuan of Han was unable to understand the disposition of his teacher for many years, and once again fell into the trap of Shi Xian and others, and approved the arrest of Xiao Wangzhi.
When Xiao Wangzhi received the arrest warrant signed by his own students, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "I have tasted the general of the position, more than sixty years old, the old is in prison, and I want to live, but I despise it!" So he committed suicide by drinking.
Hearing of Xiao Wangzhi's suicide, Emperor Yuan of Han realized that his decision to "play" the dead teacher was devastated and wept bitterly. Incredibly, after Emperor Yuan of Han cried, he only condemned Shi Xian, and did not have any punishment.
