Let's go back to 128 BC, when the Han Dynasty suddenly ushered in a legendary figure, who was the main father Yan (Yan). Because of his outstanding talent, he was quickly reused by Emperor Wu of Han, and was promoted four times in a year, and soon reached the peak of his life.
Lord Father
However, the good times did not last long, because of his whistle-blowing, the two princes of Yan and Qi committed suicide one after another, and he was executed by order of Emperor Wu of Han, thus ending his brilliant and short life.
Let's take a look at the legendary life of the Lord's father!
First, Huai Cai did not meet, and he was displaced
Born in the State of Qi, he witnessed the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms at a very young age, and although the Seven-Nation Alliance was quickly defeated, he saw an opportunity in it.
He suddenly remembered Su Qin, who at that time single-handedly united the six kingdoms and jointly resisted Qin, what a glory at that time! Therefore, he looked forward to the day when he could become a contemporary Su Qin, and then unite the countries and jointly resist the Central Committee, what a magnificent scene!

Therefore, he began to learn the art of vertical and horizontal with all his might, but to his disappointment, the princes were devastated after the last Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and they were no longer able to compete with the central government.
Therefore, until the main father was in his 50s, his dream was not realized. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Hundred Families at that time and respected Confucianism alone, in order to win the emperor's favor, the main father Began to study the Confucian classics again.
The main father had repeatedly communicated with other Confucians, but he had always been arrogant and arrogant, did not pay attention to anyone at all, and often fought to be red in the face when communicating with people, so after a long time, no one was willing to communicate with him.
In addition, his temper was even more smelly and hard, so that his relatives and neighbors around him did not like him. In desperation, the main father could only leave the State of Qi and travel to the Yan Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom instead.
Because his temper was too smelly, he did not have a good life in Yan and Zhao. Finally, forced to make a living, he planned to go west to Chang'an and ask for the general Wei Qing at that time, hoping to get Wei Qing's recommendation.
Great General Wei Qing
Wei Qing saw that he was indeed a talent, so he repeatedly recommended him to Emperor Wu of Han, but Emperor Wu never summoned him.
Because of his stinky temper, he had already offended the secretaries of state and guests of Chang'an, and his coiling was almost exhausted, so in desperation, he could only take a risk and personally go to the gate of the palace to go to the palace to write a book.
So, will the fate of the Lord's father be rewritten this time?
Second, fight to the death, life flipped
As a result, he did not expect this risky fight, and indeed won him the opportunity. Emperor Wudi of Han read his recital, summoned him that night, and said to him, You have been there all these years, and I have been looking for talents like you!
Emperor Wu of Han and his father met and hated each other
Of course, the main father did not disappoint Emperor Wu of Han, and soon he put forward the famous "Tuien Order", suggesting that not only the eldest son of the princely states could inherit the fiefdom, but other descendants also had the right to inherit.
As soon as this order was issued, the area of the fiefdoms of the princes was greatly reduced, and the strength was further weakened, and it was even more powerless to resist the central government.
The Great Han Push Grace Order
In addition, he also suggested that Emperor Wu establish Shuofang Commandery in the Hetao area. This approach not only made it more effective to fight against the Xiongnu, but also further expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty.
He was also highly praised by Emperor Wu for this, and he was promoted four times in just one year, which can be described as a glorious achievement! However, the glory of the body did not make him change his mind, but became more intense.
He still went his own way in the court, attacking others at will, so he made many enemies. In addition, because he had lived a poor life, once he had power, he began to collect money and take bribes from others.
Someone advised him to restrain a little, but the Lord Father did not think so, but said, "How much suffering and how much sin I have suffered over the years, shouldn't I be blessed?"
If I can't enjoy the glory and wealth while I am alive, then I would rather die. At this time, the main father had fallen into a kind of morbid madness, which also foreshadowed his tragic end in the future.
So, what is the final outcome of the Lord's Father?
Third, if you do what you want, you will eventually suffer trouble
When the main father Yan was young, he studied in the Yan Kingdom, and he knew very early on that the Yan King was absurd and wanton, and killed his subordinates indiscriminately. At that time, others were soft-spoken and weak-hearted, but now that he had become a big red man in front of the emperor, he reported the King of Yan to Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu was furious when he heard this, and immediately said that the matter must be severely punished. When King Yan heard the news, he was extremely frightened, and before Emperor Wu could begin to investigate, he committed suicide.
Emperor Wu of Han in his youth
King Yan's death can be said to be deserved, but he chose to commit suicide, but he won a little sympathy for himself, which made people's disgust with the lord father add another point.
Also living with the Yan King was the King of Qi. At that time, the main father had already achieved something in his career, so he wanted to marry his daughter to the King of Qi, thus consolidating his position, but was unexpectedly rejected by the King of Qi.
Therefore, the main father took the opportunity to report to Emperor Wu about the various illegal deeds of King Qi, and Emperor Wu immediately ordered the main father to be the minister of the state of Qi and go to investigate.
After the main father came to the State of Qi, he did not directly try the King of Qi, but began to investigate from the people around the King of Qi, exposing the scandals of the King of Qi. At that time, the King of Qi was very young, and he could not withstand the pressure, so he took poison and committed suicide.
In his early years, his father Had traveled in the countries of Qi, Yan, and Zhao, but now that he was rich and noble, he had forced the death of The King of Yan and the King of Qi one after another, making the King of Zhao feel nervous, and he was worried that he would have the same end.
Therefore, King Zhao decided to take the initiative to attack. He wrote to Emperor Wu to expose the main father's wanton collection of money and other crimes, and after Emperor Wu ordered an investigation, he found that there was indeed something wrong, so he felt that he was deceived, so he immediately sent the main father to prison.
After a period of time, Emperor Wu slowly lost his temper and planned to keep his father alive, but the ministers of the court proposed to execute the main father.
In particular, Gongsun Hong, the chancellor at that time, suggested to Emperor Wu that after the suicide of King Qi, there were no descendants, so that the feudal state was abolished and the title was removed, all of which were given by the lord's father, so it was not enough to thank the world without killing him. Emperor Wu then ordered the murder of his father and the destruction of his three clans.
Gongsun Hong
From receiving the favor of Emperor Wu to being discredited, it took less than two years. When he was rich, he was in the city, but when he was killed, no one collected his body, which was really sad and lamentable!
summary
When he was young, he was depressed, but he did not give up, but tried his best to create opportunities for himself, and finally in his later years he was appreciated by Emperor Wu and became famous.
His spirit of perseverance and perseverance is worth learning. Many of us feel that we are old and have no hope in life, so we give up.
But look at the main father, he is still struggling in his 50s, and finally got the opportunity to make him famous in history!
However, after he became famous, he failed to restrain himself. Years of poverty, humiliation and burden have gradually distorted his mentality, so that after he became famous, he began to frantically pursue material pleasures, and he did not hesitate to take bribes for this.
After he was imprisoned, if anyone could intercede for him, Emperor Wu would most likely pardon him. However, his personality led to his poor popularity, so that the people around him hated him so much that no one was willing to intercede for him when he was alive, and no one was willing to collect his body after death.
He was talented but unethical, which eventually led to his own tragedy. Therefore, in real life, we must pay more attention to the cultivation of our own conduct, we do not seek our own life to be vigorous, but to do things without shame!
