Wang Jia's death
Power is like a bowl of broth, and the two forces of Fu and Wang are fighting for it, which is enough to choke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf another strongman grabs food, then Fu's relatives don't talk about grabbing meat, I'm afraid they won't even have bone broth to drink! The situation was critical, forcing Fu Yan to strike first, and before Dong Xian grabbed the meat, he took all the things he deserved!
But how do you get Da Sima in your hands quickly? There must be excuses. This excuse is that last year's Xiongnu Wuzhu Liuruo Shan Yu called himself sick and asked to come to Chang'an again the next year to see him. See the doorway, right? Xifu bowed and Fu Yan were in the same group, and everything he did was to grab the position of Da Sima for Fu Yan before Dong Xian! As long as Da Sima is in hand, what else does Dong Xian have to grab?
It's just that Fu Yan never thought that there would be a solar eclipse. I didn't expect Dong Xian to bite back, saying that the solar eclipse was not because of Dong Xian, but completely because of Fu Yan and Xifu's conspiracy to provoke a war against the Xiongnu... It's over, Fu Yan can't tell even if he has a thousand mouths!
On the 11th, Liu Xin deposed Fu Yan, withdrew his seal, and drove him out of Chang'an City and returned to his fiefdom.
Adverse events caused by solar eclipses continue. Wang Mang, who has been in his new capital fiefdom for three years, is a python who has cultivated to perfection, does not give up, does not abandon, is not pessimistic, and will not be willing to fall. So in the past three years, he has been recuperating. He firmly believes that one day, he will return to Chang'an City again!
Wang Mang has a specialty, no matter where he goes, he is the best moral model in the circle. This kind of moral title is not blown out, but played by a strict spirit of self-discipline. Once, Wang Mang's son Wang Shu killed his own house slave, Wang Mang was unequivocal, immediately grabbed Wang Shu, and ordered his son to commit suicide!
After the news of Wang Mang's suicide came out, many people immediately stood up to speak for him. The book flew into Chang'an City like snowflakes and landed on Liu Xin's dragon seat. Liu Xin couldn't resist it, too many people sang praises. So, after the strange solar eclipse incident, he summoned Kong Guang back, and simply called Wang Mang and Wang Ren back. Serving the Queen Mother.
On the 17th, there was a day-old news in Chang'an City - the Empress Dowager Fu and the old lady died! Wang's relatives looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally let her go first. However, immediately, Wang Zhengjun found out: Old Lady Fu is too ruthless, and she still has to fight with her even if she dies!
We know that Wang Zhengjun is the wife of Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty, and it is natural that he should enjoy the treatment of being buried with Liu Zheng and sleeping underground with him in the future. However, Mrs. Fu took the lead and was moved to Weiling first, and was buried with Liu Zheng!
In ancient China, the affairs of the living were important, and the affairs of the dead were even more important. When the emperor and the queen mother are alive, they will prepare the burial ground. Now that Mrs. Fu has robbed Wang Zhengjun of a good piece of cemetery, where should Wang Zhengjun be buried after his death in the future? This question, I guess only the ghost knows...
What made Wang Zhengjun even more stunned was: After the death of the old lady Fu, Liu Xin, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, gave her a "filial piety and queen Fu" Wang Zhengjun has been the queen and the queen mother for many years, and she is not dead, but people have robbed her of the throne of the former queen!
If you don't say it well, people are going to bully you to the top of your head! But so what? Well, it's better than a short life, so it's better than a long life. See who's the last one to have the last laugh! So the Queen Mother endured it first, she wanted to see what tricks Liu Xin still wanted to do?
Prime Minister Wang Jia and Imperial Historian Jia Yan jointly signed a letter to impeach Xifu and Sun Pet. Liu Xin's purpose of lending them to Dong Xian as a marquis had been achieved, and the two naturally lost their use value, so they were dismissed, driven out of Chang'an City, and returned to their fiefdoms. At the same time, dozens of people were dismissed, including Shizhong, Zhu Cao, and Huang Menlang.
Bao Xuan wrote a letter and asked Liu Xin to re-employ He Wu, Shi Dan, Peng Xuan, Fu Xi and others, and drive Dong Xian away. Liu Xin partially accepted the advice and appointed Bao Xuan as the lieutenant of Si Li, and at the same time recruited He Wu and Peng Xuan.
But for Dong Xian, how could Liu Xin be willing to drive him away? Not only that, Liu Xin also pretended to be in the name of Empress Fu Huang and forged a testament. Liu Xin thought very realistically: after her grandmother died, she took the initiative to do so many things for the elderly; Now, of course, I want to do something good for myself in the name of the old man...
Liu Xin is like being put under a spell, with a lot of clues, thinking about Dong Xian! This time, he wanted to fight for Dong Xian to fight for 2,000 more food estates. In order to cover people's eyes, Liu Xin also deliberately added the names of Fu Yan, Fu Shang, and Zheng Ye.
Then, Liu Xin handed over the forged edict to the Empress Dowager, and then asked Wang Zhengjun to hand it over to Prime Minister Wang Jia. As a result, after Wang Jia read the edict, without saying a word, he sealed the edict and sent someone to return it! The attitude is very resolute: everything is easy to discuss, but the only way to give Dong Xian's pseudo-mother salary plus Caiyi is not discussed!
Throughout the ages, all those who are manly have looked down on those who eat soft rice. In fact, it is not impossible to eat soft rice, the problem is to have a degree! If you eat soft rice to the point of endangering national security, it is no wonder that people and gods are angry!
In Wang Jia's opinion, Dong Xian is such a superb person who eats soft rice! trapped the emperor step by step, and then Liu Xin willingly used his weak body to carry a powerful tomorrow for him. Every time Dong Xian takes a step forward, why not step on the emperor's back? Under the emperor there are still the lives of tens of millions of Han Dynasty people!
Whether it is from the interests of the country or from the temperament of men, Wang Jia must crusade against Dong Xian to the end! So after he returned the edict, he personally wrote a long letter and criticized Dong Xian from beginning to end, "Dong Xian is just a pseudo-mother who is favored by his flattery, and His Majesty opened his mouth to give him a lot of wealth in order to fill his endless desires." If you don't feel heartache, the people of the Han Dynasty will feel heartache for you, this is one of them; Dong Xian was first named the Marquis of Guannei, and then he was named the Marquis of Gao'an, which should be satisfied, but now he suddenly wants to increase the mining estate, which really makes no sense. This is the second one. Your Majesty, you are in very poor health now, you should still care more about yourself and less about Dong Xian. And when you burn a lot of money for Dong Xian, you also have to think about how difficult it was for Emperor Gaozu to start a business! It stands to reason that I have returned His Majesty's edict against the will of the emperor, and I should impeach myself and step down immediately. But then everyone in the world will know what happened, and where will your face go at that time, Your Majesty? So for the sake of Your Majesty, I still haven't impeached myself, you better watch it yourself"
Liu Xin almost didn't collapse when he saw Wang Jia's book. Against the emperor, is he still so eloquent? Wang Jia, a prime minister like him, seems to be absolutely unstoppable! Soon, Liu Xin found an excuse to put Wang Jia to death. Writing and playing music has always been Wang Jia's specialty, but he completely planted it this time, because of one of his recitals!
This matter is a long story, and it involves the previous case of Liu Yun, the king of Dongping, who 'rebelled'. At the beginning, Liu Yun's case was tried by Tingwei Liang Xiang. Liang Xiang thought that this was an unjust prison, so he deliberately delayed and did not try it within the prescribed time.
According to the law of the Han Dynasty, spring cannot be punished. All criminal cases must be closed before the arrival of spring. Otherwise, if it drags on until the spring of next year, it would have been a repeat offense, and it could have been pardoned. And Liang Xiang dragged on and on, seeing that the winter was coming to an end, and the case had not yet been closed, so Liu Xin suddenly saw that he was tired. This is still secondary. Because Liu Xin's health has been poor. Liang Xiang may think that as long as it drags on any longer, Liu Xin may not be able to stand it and die first. At that time, the matter of Liu Yun, the king of Dongping, will be overturned...
Liu Xin resolutely could not overturn Liu Yun's case. So he dismissed Liang Xiang, Tan Tan, and Zong Bofeng from their posts and demoted them to civilians. At the same time, he also convicted Liu Yun, the king of Dongping...
When Ting Wei Liang Xiang had an accident, Prime Minister Wang Jia is the leader and must also bear some responsibility. So, Wang Jia wrote a self-impeachment to show self-criticism.
The matter was not over, and a few months later, Liu Xin pardoned Liang Xiang. At this time, Wang Jia immediately followed up with the book and spoke for Liang Xiang, "Liang Xiang is so talented, but he was pardoned and not reused, I feel sorry for Your Majesty."
Liu Xin had long wanted to clean up Wang Jia, but this time he hit the knife himself, no wonder he was. So the murderous Liu Xin called Wang Jia in front of him, and in front of Shangshu and others, he loudly reprimanded, "Liang Xiang is treacherous, everyone has witnessed it, you have also self-impeached and done self-criticism before." Why did you speak for him again in the blink of an eye for a few months? Inconsistency, what the hell do you mean"
Wang Jia was stupid and knew that he had said the wrong thing. So he hurriedly took off his prime minister's hat, apologized to Liu Xin, and asked for forgiveness. Liu Xin sneered proudly. You almost drove me crazy before. Now that I finally pinched your weakness, I want to spare you, how can there be such a good thing!
Liu Xin filed a case on the matter of Wang Jia speaking for Liang Xiang and handed it over to the hundred officials for discussion. At this time, someone immediately jumped out and wanted to step on Wang Jia! Wang Jia never thought that the person who stepped on himself was actually the person he had always admired and recommended extremely much: Kong Guang, the former prime minister and Guanglu doctor who had just been reinstated by Liu Xin! Kong Guang's words were concise and to the point, and he directly accused Wang Jia of fooling the emperor and rebelling, and he should immediately report to the Imperial Prison!
Kong Guang sang, Liu Xin followed closely with Yihe, and in March, Liu Xin issued an edict approving the arrest of Wang Jia!
If the emperor issued an edict and sent someone to arrest a high-ranking official, he did not have to wait for the case to be closed, and it could basically be said that he was dead. Therefore, whenever a high-ranking official was convicted, the emperor sent someone to take the festival, and they often committed suicide by taking the festival messenger first. Such as the former Prime Minister Zhu Bo.
How good it is to commit suicide, so as not to go to prison and be tortured. It's all death anyway, so it's better to die a refreshing death. This truth is known to everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Therefore, when they heard that the emperor had sent someone to the gate of the prime minister's mansion, they immediately prepared poison and sent it to Wang Jia with tears, asking him to cut himself off, so as not to go to prison and suffer from flesh and skin.
But Wang Jia made an unusual move - refusing to commit suicide! He said this: "As one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, why should I learn from a weak woman to commit suicide? If you want to die, you will die brightly, blood will be splashed in the market, it is incumbent on you" Wang Jia finished speaking, put on his official uniform, walked out of the prime minister's mansion with high spirits, and met with the emperor's envoy. Then get on the car, take off the official hat, and head up to the Imperial Prison!
To be honest: Wang Jia's feat is beyond the imagination of Liu Xin, Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xin thought that Wang Jia would commit suicide like a high-ranking official who had committed suicide. But Wang Jia didn't, it was clear that he wanted to carry out the dead pig without fear of boiling water to the end, and openly tear his face with the emperor... Thinking of this, Liu Xin suddenly felt a chill. To put it bluntly, he was scared!
He was not afraid that Wang Jia would turn against him, but that once Wang Jia was imprisoned, he might shake out the scandal between him and Dong Xian. Then the problem is serious. Thinking of this, Liu Xin was afraid and angry. There is no other way, Wang Jia must die. If he doesn't die, Liu Xin and Dong Xian will live ugly!
According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, every time a high-ranking official in an accident was tried, a collegial panel was generally composed of five ministerial-level senior officials. But in this trial of Wang Jia, in addition to the five ministerial-level senior officials, Liu Xinjia sent military attaches to jointly try the case! Liu Xin's move was actually to prevent accidents and interrupt the idea of others rescuing Wang Jia. Liu Xin's move is not ruthless, and the case entered the trial procedure smoothly.
However, Wang Jia did not admit his guilt, "Liang Xiang is not guilty, and I am not guilty" The public judge asked, "You said you are not guilty, then why did you impeach yourself before" Wang Jia sighed and said, "I am fortunate to be the prime minister of the country, but I am not able to recommend virtuous people, stifle traitors and villains, and fail" The public judge asked, "Who is virtuous?" Who is the villain" Wang Jia said, "like Kong Guang, He Wu and others, they are rare and virtuous talents in the country, and I can't recommend them; Like Dong Xian's father and son, they swallowed national resources, but I couldn't stop them, sad! If I am guilty, I confess that I am guilty, and I deserve to die, but I die without hatred."
Since then, Wang Jia has declared a hunger strike. More than 20 days later, Wang Jia vomited blood and died of exhaustion. Maybe he hasn't seen it underground: the Kong Guang who has always been valued by him is actually the villain who stabbed him upside down!
Life is humorous, politics is humorous, but it's all dark humor. Liu Xin knew that Wang Jia would eventually admit his guilt, but he didn't expect that the crime would be confessed in the end, but it was another matter. Wang Jia did not get rid of Dong Xian before his death, which was indeed dereliction of duty; But he said that he was also derelict in his duty not to recommend Kong Guang, which is a bit of a mess... Wang Jia didn't know until he died: if there was no knife in the back of Kong Guang, he would not have died so quickly.
