In the history of the Han Dynasty, the "rule of Wenjing" can be said to be the first prosperous era of the Han Dynasty, which not only restored the ruined situation of the great chaos in the world at the end of the Qin And the beginning of the Han Dynasty, but also saved a huge family foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to defeat the Xiongnu. As a result, this period of the reign of Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han was praised by historians as the "rule of Wenjing".
However, reading the history books carefully, Emperor Wen of Han was indeed a generation of benevolent kings, and more than half of the credit for the "rule of Wenjing" should be counted on the head of Emperor Wen of Han. The Han Jing Emperor even fell into the controversy of the "Mean Lord" because of the following two murders.
When Liu Qi, the Emperor of HanJing, was still crown prince, he lived in the Eastern Palace. One year, Liu Hao, who was appointed King of Wu, sent his own crown prince to meet the emperor and the crown prince according to the regulations. Then Prince Wu had the opportunity to accompany Liu Qi, the prince of the Han Dynasty, to play chess together.
This itself is a distant relative coming to visit the New Year, and the two princes play chess and entertainment together, which should be a scene of happiness and harmony. However, according to the Book of Han, Prince Wu and His Master Were both Chu people, acting impolitely and arrogantly. Although it is not explicitly said, in the hearts of many Han people, it is a barbarian.
Therefore, in the process of playing chess, because of the dispute over the chess road, the attitude of Prince Wu Guo caused the anger of Liu Qi, the prince of the Han Dynasty at that time, so Liu Qi overthrew prince Wu Guo, picked up the chessboard in one hand, and smashed prince Wu guo alive. History is called: "The Murder of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace"!
Moreover, killing people was not counted, liu qi also asked the people of the Wu delegation to return to the distant State of Wu with the body of Prince Wu for burial. With the ancient traffic conditions, the living people who walked thousands of miles could not stand it, let alone a corpse.
Sure enough, Liu Hao, the king of Wu, saw that his son was not only killed by the crown prince Liu Qi, but also let him travel thousands of miles to wu to be buried, and the body could not be seen. Suddenly, he said angrily: The people with the surname Liu in the world are all ancestors, and it would be good to die in Chang'an and be buried in Chang'an, so why should they return to the Kingdom of Wu to be buried?!
He even ordered someone to bring his son's body back to Chang'an for funeral burial. From then on, Liu Hao, the king of Wu, held a grudge against Liu Qi, saying that he was ill and did not go to worship. This also laid the groundwork for Liu Hao's later rebellion.
During the filial piety period, Prince Wu entered the meeting and had to serve the crown prince to drink Bo. Prince Wu's masters are all Chu people, light and proud. Bo argued, "No, the crown prince led Bo Bureau to mention Prince Wu and kill him." So he sent him to bury Wu. Wu Wang said: "The next sect in the world, when Chang'an dies, it is buried in Chang'an, so why bury it!" "The funeral of the restoration of Chang'an." King Wu was resentful and slightly lost his courtesy, saying that he was ill and could not be in the dynasty. --Book of Han
After the death of Emperor Wen of Han, the crown prince Liu Qi succeeded to the throne, and he was known as Emperor Jing of Han. Emperor Jingdi's master was the famous Great Confucian Chao, and when Emperor Jingdi of Han jing had just succeeded to the throne, he was convinced of Chao's mistakes, but whenever there was any problem, he would first consult Chao's mistakes. Chao's position was also promoted again and again, from the prince master directly to the internal history, and then promoted to the imperial history, was one of the three dukes at that time, it can be said that the power of the world.
Chao Que has always expressed strong vigilance against the princes represented by Liu Hao, the king of Wu, according to Confucian theory, everyone should obey the notice of the Son of Heaven, and the excessive power of the princes is bound to lead to rebellion, not to mention that Emperor Jing of Han and King Wu still have a great vendetta.
Therefore, Chao Mistaken proposed a famous strategy to the Han Jing Emperor to cut the domain, asking the Han Jing Emperor to weaken the power of the princely states.
Unfortunately, although this person has excellent strategic vision, he is actually a two-handed knife in practice. The policy of cutting off the domain is a good policy, but it also needs to be implemented step by step, and the princes are bound to cause strong opposition after hearing this news, how to face the opposition of the princes and even rebel and the Han Jing Emperor is unprepared. Moreover, Liu Hao, the King of Wu, had spent forty years preparing for rebellion.
Therefore, after Chao Que and Emperor Jing of Han proposed to cut the domain, the princes led by Liu Hao, the King of Wu, rebelled one after another, under the banner of: "Qing Jun's side, Chao Chao's mistake!" ”
Emperor Jingdi of Han suddenly lost his score, and quickly asked Chao what to do?
Chao mistakenly thought for a moment: Well, at this time, I am afraid that only the Son of Heaven can do it.
Emperor Jingdi of Han: Well, it is okay to march personally, and if there is a teacher next to me to give advice, I can also try.
Chao:Non-also, non-also. It is such an important matter that His Majesty's personal conquest is, and of course I must stay in the rear to guard His Majesty's town.
Emperor Jingdi of Han: ... (A good mistake, I can see through you)
So emperor Jing of Han, who obeyed Chao's wrong words, chose to inform other people, and there was a man named Yuan Ang who had once served as the minister of Wu, and this person had a vendetta against Chao, and then he said to Emperor Jing of Han: Didn't King Wu say that the Qing Emperor was on the side, we killed Chao Wrong, what excuse did King Wu have to rebel?
Liu Qi, the Emperor of Han Jing, did not think long before acquiescing.
A few days after Yuan Ang offered advice, Chao's opposition minister Tao Qing, Lieutenant Chen Jia, and Ting Wei Zhang Ou jointly signed a letter impeaching Chao's mistake to cause a rebellion, and proposed that Chao's mistake be cut off all over the door, and Emperor Jing immediately approved this song.
At that time, Chao Que did not hear the sound of the wind at all, and was still at home preparing for the emperor's personal conquest. Moreover, the strange thing was that the Han Jing Emperor actually sent the lieutenant Chen Jia to Chao's house and ordered Chao to deceive Chao's wrong in the name of deliberating on the court.
When Chao's carriage and horse passed through Chang'an Dongshi, Lieutenant Chen Jia stopped the car, read the edict of the Han Jing Emperor to Chao Que, and ordered the guards to cut chao in the downtown area and show the public, and even wore imperial clothes when Chao mistakenly died. History: The Killing of emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, after killing Chao Wrong, liu Hao was willing to give up the rebellion? In the end, Emperor Jingdi of Han relied on Zhou Yafu and other generals to quell the rebellion. In the end, Zhou Yafu was also forced to die by emperor Jing of Han.
Therefore, although the Han Jing Emperor has been famous for eternity because of the "rule of Wen Jing", he has also fallen into the name of cruelty and meanness because of the two killings, and all the friends who have seen this article, how do you evaluate liu Qi, the Han Jing Emperor?
