The origin of Zhang Jian's "looking at the door to stop"

Stepping through the brilliant long sky of history, looking at the dappled streamers of light in the starlight, the wind and frost of a thousand years, how many heroes and legends have been frozen, the long line of heaven and earth that runs through ancient and modern times, connecting the initial power of life, bringing surprise to people, bringing people memories, the vast picture of history, is the spiritual heaven that never grows old!

Zhang Jian looked at the door to stop

On the way to escape, as long as Zhang Jian saw the gate of a private household, he went to surrender, and no family did not take him in. This is the origin of the lookout. Why did Zhang Jian flee? Why would everyone take him in?

Zhang JianziYuanjie was a native of Gaoping, Shanyang County, Eastern Han Dynasty (present-day southwest of Zoucheng, Shandong). His ancestor Zhang Er followed Liu Bang against Qin and was once made the King of Zhao for his merits. His father, Zhang Chengguan, went to Jiangxia Taishou and made great achievements. When Zhang Jian was young, he was elected by the magistrate as Mao Cai (i.e., Xiu Cai, renamed Mao Cai to avoid the secret of Emperor Liu Xiu), and the central government arranged for him to be an official under the prefecture Assassin Shi, who he believed did not have the character and ability to be an official, so he refused to take office on the grounds of illness. In the eighth year of Yanxi (165), Zhang Jian served as the postmaster of the eastern part of Shanyang County, responsible for supervising the illegal affairs of local officials and people, and the home of the eunuch Hou Lan was within his jurisdiction.

Hou Lan served as a lieutenant during the reign of Emperor Huan, and was later made a marquis for his involvement in the murder of Liang Ji. Relying on his power, he gathered great things, forcibly occupied the people's land, and maimed the people, and Hou Lan's family and in-laws also acted arrogantly and dominated the township. When Hou Lan's mother was still alive, she overhauled the tombs, demolished other people's houses, dug up other people's graves, and built a temple hundreds of feet high. Zhang Jian found out the facts and resolutely wrote to the imperial court to expose the bad deeds of Hou Lan and his family, and requested that they be punished and killed. Zhang Jian's several petitions fell into the hands of eunuchs, and Hou Lan knew all about his feelings and hated Zhang Jian to the bone. However, Zhang Jian did not flinch, and when he saw that the letter was invalid, he personally led his subordinates to raid Hou Lan's home and bulldozed the tomb that his mother had just repaired. He also wrote about Hou Lan's crimes and his mother's interference in the affairs of the county and the affairs of the village.

Hou Lan was always grumpy and looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian's compatriot had a man named Zhu He, a sinister and cunning villain who was good at taking horses, Zhang Jian looked down on him very much, and Zhu He was also jealous of Zhang Jian. Later, Hou Lan instigated Zhu And wrote a letter falsely accusing Zhang Jian of forming a friendship with 24 people in the county in an attempt to commit misconduct. At that time, when the disaster of the party was at its worst, the Han Ling Emperor did not investigate, so he issued an edict to arrest Zhang Jian and other party members. Zhang Jian heard the news and absconded, and in the midst of danger, he saw that there was a gate in front of him, so he knocked on the door and went to sleep. People admired Zhang Jian's character and courage, attached great importance to his behavior and reputation, and took him in at the risk of being exterminated. Everywhere Zhang Jian went, more than 10 families were implicated, and all the clans were killed.

Later, Zhang Jian fled to Donglai and lived in Li Du's house. After Mao Qin of Waihuang County heard about it, he led his troops to search for him. Li Du called Mao Qin aside and told him that Zhang Jian was a respected celebrity in the world, and now that he had fled, he had not committed any crime, you might have caught him, but could you bear to take him away? Mao Qin hurriedly stood up and said to Li Du that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the great master who defended the country, Shu Boyu, regarded being a gentleman alone as a disgrace, do you also want to attribute benevolence and righteousness to yourself? Li Du replied that if you don't arrest Zhang Jian, then half of my benevolence will already be obtained by you. Mao Qin sighed and led the soldiers away. Li Du escorted Zhang Jian to escape to Saiwai.

After the Outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Party was lifted and Zhang Jian returned to his hometown. The three dukes and generals of the DPRK and China all recruited him as an official, and he always resigned from office. The emperor sent a bus to take him to the post of Shaofu, but he refused to do so. In the early years of Emperor Xian of Han, a major disaster occurred in his hometown, and Zhang Jian poured out his family property to help the victims of the disaster, and hundreds of people depended on him to survive. Later, Zhang Jian had no choice but to become a wei lieutenant, and seeing that Cao Cao was leaning toward the opposition and had great power, he closed the door and thanked guests and no longer paid attention to political affairs. He died in Xuchang at the age of 84.

The scourge of the party

The dictatorship of foreign eunuchs pushed the Eastern Han regime to the brink of collapse, and in the face of a serious political crisis, many enlightened bureaucrats and scholars were worried about this. Foreign eunuchs blocked the political outlet of the scholars and students, causing them strong dissatisfaction. As a result, some enlightened bureaucrats, together with tai students and county Confucians, set off a political movement against the eunuch dictatorship. On the one hand, they criticized eunuch politics from the perspective of public opinion, established the status of the leader of the scholars, and attacked the eunuchs by relying on the power of public opinion in the form of deliberation. On the other hand, it cracked down on eunuch forces politically, arresting and executing eunuch relatives and henchmen who acted recklessly. Eunuchs would not listen to criticism and attacks, and they used their power to manipulate the emperor and suppress the opposition of the scholars. The struggle between the two sides intensified, and finally the scourge of the party broke out.

In the ninth year of Emperor Huan's reign (166), the eunuch henchman Zhang Cheng instigated his son to kill people, and Li Bing, a lieutenant colonel, arrested his son, and when the state had an order to save him, Li Bing still executed him. Therefore, the eunuch instructed Zhang Cheng's disciples to falsely accuse Li Bing of raising tai's students, forming a friendship party, slandering the imperial court, and corrupting customs. Emperor Huan was furious and ordered the arrest of Li Bing and more than 200 other people. The following year, although the party members were rescued from prison, they were imprisoned for life and were never allowed to become officials.

This is the first time the party has been struck. In the second year after Emperor Ling ascended the throne (168), dou wu, a foreign relative and general, and Chen Fan, a lieutenant, revived The Use of Li Bing and others to conspire to eliminate the eunuch forces, and Dou Wu was killed after the incident. Then the eunuch Cao Jie and others falsely accused the party of rebellion, and Li Bing and more than a hundred other people were arrested and died in prison. The remaining 600 to 700 people were implicated in the victims and were executed, expropriated, deposed, banned, and other punishments. In the fifth year of Xiping (176), Emperor Ling issued another edict that all protégés, former officials, fathers, sons, and brothers of the Party, as well as relatives within the five served, would be exempted from official confinement. This is the second party attack. After the Outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling issued an edict to save the Party members, and the Party was lifted.
