"The heavens are good for reincarnation, and who has the heavens spared?" The gods, karma, and punishment have always been good wishes pinned on folklore. It is the ultimate means of nature against the wicked who cannot be dealt with. Although the spirit is not good, it is not nothing. Here are four examples.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the earliest recorded "Heavenly Punishment of Heavenly Punishment" in history, which was aimed at Wu Yi, an emperor of the Shang Dynasty</h1>
Sima Qian's "History of Yin Benji No. 3" of the Western Han Dynasty, "Emperor Wu Yi has no way, is a puppet, called the god of heaven." With it, it is a good thing. The gods are invincible, but they are humiliated. For the sake of the leather sac, the blood, and the shooting, the fate is called "shooting the sky". Wu Yi hunted between the rivers and Wei, thunderstormed, and Wu Yi was shocked to death. Emperor Tai Ding Li. Emperor Taiding collapsed, and the son Emperor Yili. Emperor Yili, Yin Yiyi".
The translation is "Emperor Wu Yi Wudao fooled around all day, once made a puppet and named it "Tenjin"; then gambled with it and let others play chess for "Tenjin". If the "Tenjin" loses, Takeyoshi insults the puppet "Tenjin" to the extreme. Wu Yi made a leather bag, which was filled with blood and hung up, and shot it from his back, saying that it was "shooting the sky". One day, Emperor Wuyi organized a hunt between the Yellow River and the Wei River. Suddenly, a thunderstorm appeared, impartially hitting Wu Yi's body, and Wu Yi was struck by lightning and died. After Wu Yi's death, Tai Ding and Emperor Yi succeeded to the throne one after another, and Yin Shang declined even more."
Legend has it that the Shang Dynasty was juxtaposed with the three emperors of heaven and earth, that is, the status of the human emperor and the heavenly emperor was equal. Moreover, the Shang Dynasty abolished the sacrifice of living people since the Xia Dynasty. It is no longer a gift to the gods according to the year. And the human emperor became the son of heaven, and it was a matter after the Zhou Dynasty that the emperor was subordinate to the heavenly emperor. Even if you are on equal footing, you should not impose insults for no reason. This is the source of what Chinese often says, "For wrongdoing, the sky strikes thunder"!
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the leader of the burning Yuanmingyuan was also struck by lightning</h1>
After the Anglo-French army plundered the Yuanmingyuan, the wealth of the Yuanmingyuan was all looted, the British and French allies in order to cover up the crimes of their robbers, the British officer Commander James Bruce proposed a plan to burn the Yuanmingyuan, the British and French soldiers began to light fires all over the Yuanmingyuan, the fire burned for three days and three nights, hundreds of palace eunuchs in the garden were also burned alive, the fire lit up the whole of Beijing, but also illuminated the crimes of the Anglo-French coalition. The initiator, James Bruce, was to blame.
Because of the "feat" of the Anglo-French army to plunder the Yuanmingyuan and the huge wealth of the loot, the Queen of England gave them high praise after their triumphant return, and the officer commander James Bruce was promoted to the governor of India.
James Bruce, who had tasted the sweetness, was even more ruthless in his killing and destructive heart, and after arriving in India, he began to massacre and plunder on a large scale, taking the heritage of India for thousands of years.
Fortunately, the heavenly path is good reincarnation, and there will be retribution for all bad things done. One night, lightning struck his house, and because of the sudden heart attack that frightened James Bruce, he could not move, and because the house was struck by lightning, there was a fire, so James Bruce was burned alive in the house.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the Jiaqing Emperor is also said to have been killed by lightning</h1>
The Jiaqing Emperor inherited the prosperity of Qianlong, and during the same period, the great navigation and industrial revolution flourished, and the capitalist countries embarked on the fast track of development. Jiaqing, who was on the throne at this time, was a key figure in the Qing Dynasty, but it did not play a key role, and China lagged behind the world in an all-round way, starting with Jiaqing.
Jiaqing was very diligent and simple, but after all, his ability was limited, except for his bold vision, his wrist was not good, and during his tenure, there were more than thirty large-scale armed uprisings recorded in history. The Great White Lotus Sect Uprising almost revolutionized the qing Dynasty, and the bloody suppression of the White Lotus Sect Uprising also caused the first population decline in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, sometimes, the emperor's ability is not good, and stealing a little laziness is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.
Regarding Jiaqing's death, according to the Records of Emperor Qingrenzong, "This time, I occasionally felt the heat. So he went back to his quarters to rest. The next version is divided into two versions, one is that heat stroke caused the recurrence of other diseases of the Jiaqing Emperor, resulting in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and violent death. Another theory is that he threatened to work even if he fell ill," saying that it was too late, and it was fast, and a thunderclap came down and died.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > defected to foreigners and betrayed the motherland, and was rumored to have been punished to death by Lei Tian </h1>
Wu Chongyao is a huge wealth in Guangdong, the chief merchant of Jardine Ande and the head merchant of the thirteen lines of public banks. At that time, the total wealth of Jardine Matheson exceeded 26 million taels, accounting for one-third of the total tariffs of the entire Qing Dynasty. It was such a person that when Lin Zexu was removed from his post, Wu Chongyao and his father immediately colluded with the capitulation faction and became the main brokers in negotiations with foreign invaders. Later, accompanied by Wu Chongyao, he negotiated with Yilu and signed the "Guangzhou Armistice Agreement" that humiliated the country, which was learned in primary and secondary school textbooks, and was the beginning of the history of humiliation in modern China. In the seventh year of Xianfeng, the Anglo-French coalition army captured Guangzhou and established a local puppet regime in Guangzhou, and Wu Chongyao contributed a lot to the british and French coalition rule. In the second year of Tongzhi (1863), Wu Chongyao died in Guangzhou, and when he died, the citizens "were fortunate to die a big traitor". As for how he died, it is said that he was killed by lightning. In fact, it does not matter whether he died of illness or was killed by lightning. Because he was in the hearts of the Chinese people, he had already "died".
We have learned how to avoid danger and lightning in the wild since elementary school, and lightning has a scientific explanation. But the legend of the "Thunder and Lightning Heavenly Curse" is still talked about. It also reflects people's simple desire to pursue justice and hope that the bad guys will escape punishment.
