Emperor Jing's death

Zhou Yafu returned home in anger, one year, two years, three years, four full years have passed, the prime ministers of the DPRK and China have changed two terms, and he still does not see him ask the emperor for peace and last time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info it seems that he is really compared with the emperor.

Compared with Zhou Yafu, Dou Ying is not like this. At the beginning, Liu Qi abolished Liu Rong, and he, who was a master, also fought reason. After Liu Qi didn't listen, he didn't say a word, and left! I went to the foot of Lantian South Mountain for a long vacation. But when a guest suggested to him, "The one who can make you rich is the emperor." You blatantly vomited with the emperor, and it was clear that you were showing your honor to the world and promoting the emperor's faults. In this way, will the emperor tolerate a so-called famous minister like you" The doorman said reasonably, Dou Ying thought about it again and again, let's stop in moderation. So not long after, Dou Ying returned to the emperor and the queen mother to say goodbye, and everything was as usual...

In Liu Qi's view, it is understandable that the ministers lost their temper. So he thought that Dou Ying had repented, and Zhou Yafu should be the second, right? So he gave Zhou Yafu time and asked him to take the initiative to return to the court. Unexpectedly, four years have passed, and there is still no movement, Zhou Yafu seems to be a little suspicious of wanting to die with him, the emperor?

If that's the case, it's just four words: very disappointed!

Liu Qi really wants to see: Is it Zhou Yafu, the former prime minister? Or am I the hard one who is the emperor? So in August, Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty summoned Zhou Yafu to the palace, invited him to dinner, and tried to test Zhou Yafu's temper by the way.

This is not a Hongmen banquet, but it is even more cruel than the Hongmen banquet. During the banquet, there was only a gentleman and a minister, a pot of wine, and a piece of large meat, but the large meat was not cut. Liu Qi had chopsticks in his hand, but he didn't prepare chopsticks for Zhou Yafu. Of course, Liu Qi is not for fun, the time to examine Comrade Zhou Yafu's political wisdom has finally arrived! I think Liu Qi's intention is probably like this: I gave you the meat, but the chopsticks are here. Craving meat? Please. Don't want to beg me? It's okay, then don't eat it!

But Zhou Yafu's next move surprised everyone! He glared at the waiter and shouted, "Give me a pair of chopsticks" The waiter saw that the emperor did not make a sound, and he did not dare to give Zhou Yafu chopsticks. At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly laughed, "Are you still not satisfied if I give you meat to eat" Zhou Yafu was stunned, probably understanding the emperor's intentions: Ask for me! Ask for me, and you will have to eat!

Zhou Yafu's next performance continued to surprise everyone: he immediately knelt down and took off his hat to apologize to Liu Qi. But as soon as the emperor said the word "up", Zhou Yafu got up, stopped eating the meat, ignored Liu Qi, and left directly!

Hey, the cow temper, sure enough, it's still the cow temper! Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty looked at the back of Zhou Yafu leaving, and sighed, "This person must hate me when he goes away." I can still shock him while I'm alive. After I die, I'm afraid my son will suffer a big loss" At this time, Liu Qi's heart suddenly appeared!

The opportunity to kill Zhou Yafu came soon. The ancients had a hobby, from commoners to emperors, who liked to properly prepare for the afterlife in advance. However, it was not himself who prepared the funeral for Zhou Yafu after death, but his son.

Since Zhou Bo, the Zhou family has made a life with military merits, and the funeral objects after death are naturally indispensable to the things in the army. So, Zhou Yafu's son went to the engineer Shang Fang to buy 500 pairs of obsolete armor and shields, and ordered the workers to carry them home, so that Zhou Yafu could be used as a funeral object after his death and continue to be a general underground.

It stands to reason that even if these waste products rot in the national armory, they cannot be pulled out and sold as scrap. So the problem came out all at once. But the problem is not so much the 500 discarded armor and shields, but the porters. Because they reported to the government that Zhou Yafu's son had bought weapons privately and was plotting against him. And the reason for the workers' report turned out to be: Zhou Yafu's son did not pay them for their wages... At the end of the day, the problem is with yourself!

The news immediately reached Liu Qi's ears. Liu Qi immediately ordered someone to interrogate. But Zhou Yafu really didn't know anything, so he didn't ask anything. But in Liu Qi's view, the nature is completely different! He was furious and "I don't have to" The subtext of this sentence is: I don't want Zhou Yafu's confession, I just want him to die!

Liu Qi then handed over the case to Ting Wei, the highest judicial organ of the state. At the same time, Zhou Yafu was ordered to go to the Ministry of Justice to explain the case. At this moment, Zhou Yafu's son panicked and told his old father everything as he was. Zhou Yafu didn't say a word after hearing this, just sighed, and got up and went to the Tingwei Mansion.

When Tingwei saw Zhou Yafu, the first thing he said was, "Why do you want to rebel", this is a cruel word, and it is a dead word! Zhou Yafu has been fighting on the march for many years and knows the lethality of this statement. He immediately jumped up and retorted, "I just bought some funeral goods, why do you say that I want to rebel"

But the emperor's attitude was in front of him. Obviously, whether you Zhou Yafu pleaded guilty or not today will not hinder the overall situation of my trial! So Ting Wei sneered and said a genius sentence: "Even if you don't want to rebel on the ground, if you go underground, you still want to rebel" Not on the ground, but also underground! Say you're against it, you're against it! Whatever is a capital offense. Since it is a capital offense, it is valid no matter how you say it. This is the crux of the matter!

Woo woe! Zhou Yafu, Zhou Yafu, you can even jump into the Yellow River. Just wash your neck and report underground...

Looking back, Zhou Bo is in prison, and the princess and daughter-in-law can testify for him; Now, of course, the eldest princess Liu can also testify for Zhou Yafu, but it is a bad testimony; Once, Empress Dowager Bo shook her headscarf at him in front of Liu Heng. Now, Empress Dowager Dou just wants to smash bricks at Zhou Yafu in front of Liu Qi!

In short, Zhou Yafu put the Manchu magnates, imperial relatives, harem, and people who should not be offended... All offended. So who else wants to speak for him? So let's talk about the result directly: Zhou Yafu was in prison, and after five days of hunger strike, he vomited blood and died!

Sure enough, he starved to death! Providence!

After Zhou Yafu starved to death, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did nothing except to enshrine Zhou Jian, another son of Zhou Bo, as the Marquis of Pingqu and make the posthumous of Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Chengjiang. And the political arena of the Han Dynasty appeared surprisingly calm. Liu Qi didn't see the Zhou family petitioning, nor did he see the minister crying out for him. It turns out that some people are dead, and it is easier to live than to live!

In this year, Liu Buzhi, the king of Jiyin, died, and the country was expelled because he had no children.

Two years later, the Hun cavalry made a comeback. In the second year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (BC142), Liu Qi's life was very difficult. The earthquake in the first month of the year shook the earth three times a day. The Xiongnu entered the Kou and were repelled by General Zhi. In March, the Hun cavalry once again pounced on Yanmen County!

Once, Zhidu guarded Yanmen, and the Huns regarded it as a ghost gate, and it was too late to escape. Now, Feng Jing, the Taishou of Yanmen County, doesn't seem to be eating dry rice, and he died fighting the Huns. At this time, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty urgently mobilized chariots, cavalry, and infantry archers to garrison Yanmen. Fortunately, the Hun cavalry walked around Yanmen Pass and retreated...

After the Xiongnu withdrew, Liu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. You don't know, he doesn't have much energy to spend with the Huns. The countdown to the last 11 months of his life has begun...

In the spring, Liu Qi issued an edict prohibiting inland counties from feeding on horse millet in order to punish crimes. In April, Liu Qi issued an edict on the officials to repair their ministries. In May, Liu Qi officially ordered: change the old system of paying 100,000 yuan to get an official to a new system of paying 40,000 yuan to get an official.

In the autumn of this year, there was a severe drought. After that, the sky of the Han Dynasty continued to have abnormal celestial phenomena: in October of the 3rd year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (BC142), the solar eclipse was followed by the lunar eclipse, and the sky was red for five consecutive days. On December 29, thunder roared and the sun turned purple; What's even more terrifying is that the planets in the sky seem to have had a traffic accident as if they were out of control, and they all went out of orbit and scurried in the sky: the five stars were retrograde and guarded too little; In the moon through the heavenly court...

In January of the 3rd year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (BC141), Liu Qi issued an edict: order all counties to persuade farmers to grow mulberry and many trees, and prohibit the people from mining gold, pearls and jade in vain. It is said that agriculture and mulberry are the foundation of the world. And the things of gold, pearls, and jade are not eaten by hunger, and cannot be clothed by cold.

On the 17th, the 16-year-old crown prince Liu Che held a coming-of-age crown ceremony. And give "the people of the world as the father, the latter" knighthood.

According to the habits of the ancients, something big must happen on the ground. Sure enough, 10 days after the crown prince's crown ceremony, on January 27, 141 BC, the 48-year-old Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty died in Weiyang Palace! The edict gave the princes, kings, and princes 8 horses; 2,000 stones, 2 catties of gold; and gave to the servants a hundred pennies to each household; Let the palace people go home, and they will not return to service for life. All this can be regarded as the emperor's grace behind Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty...

Liu Qi's death symbolizes the end of an era of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time leads to the emergence of another new era. If we cut off Liu Qi, we will not be able to understand Liu Che, let alone the glorious tradition and great future of the Han Dynasty.

Looking back at history, later generations will be Liu Heng, Liu Qi father and son created an era, the beautiful name: the rule of Wenjing. Historians of all dynasties have praised this era:

Confucius said, "Si Min also, the reason why three generations went straight" is true! Zhou and Qin Zhiyi, reckless and dense, and treacherous are invincible, Han Xing, sweep away the troubles and harshness, and rest with the people. As for filial piety, plus frugality. Filial piety. In the past fifty or sixty years, as for changing customs, Li Min has mellow. Zhou Yun Chengkang, Chinese language and scenery, beautiful!

Han Xing, the disadvantages of Qin, the operation drama and the lack of money, since the Son of Heaven can not have Jun Si, but will be the prime minister or take the ox cart, Qi people have no cover. The world has been peaceful, and Gaozu ordered the Jia people not to wear clothes, ride, and heavy rent taxes to humiliate them. Filial piety, high queen, for the world to set the beginning, the law of the resumption of business. However, the descendants of the market are not allowed to be eunuchs. Measure the officials and the officials, so as to give them to the people. And the income of the mountains and rivers, gardens, and markets, from the Son of Heaven to the feudal monarch Tang Muyi, are all privately supported and do not receive funds from the Son of Heaven. Cao transferred Shandong millet to the central capital official, and the age was only hundreds of thousands of stones. Following filial piety, filial piety, pure and thrifty, and the world, for more than 70 years, the country has nothing to do, not in the event of floods and droughts, and the people give the family enough. The capital is full, and the treasury is full of surplus goods; The money of the Beijing division is huge, and it is decaying and cannot be studied; The millet of Taicang is full of dew and accumulates outside, so that it is rotten and inedible. There are horses in the streets and alleys, and there are groups of people among them, and those who ride the word are not allowed to gather. Those who guard Lu Yan eat sorghum meat, and are the eldest sons and grandsons of officials, and those who live in officials think they are surnames. Therefore, everyone loves himself and re-offends the law, first righteousness and then humiliation. At this time, the people will be rich without neglect, and the service wealth will be arrogant, or even annexed. The gangsters of the Hao Party are arbitrary in the country. The clan has scholars, ministers, secretaries, and doctors, and they compete for luxury, and the rooms and public servants are arrogant, and there is no limit. Things prosper and decline, and they change. Since then, Xiaowu has been poor and extravagant inside, arrogant outside, the world is depressed, and financial resources are exhausted...

The rule of Wenjing in the narrow sense began with Liu Heng's accession to the throne in September 180 BC and ended with Liu Qi's death in January 141 BC. Then, there are more than 38 years of Wenjing's rule. But the rule of Wenjing in a broad sense should not only include the tenure of these two emperors. It should be from the end of the dispute between Chu and Han in February 202 BC, Liu Bang officially proclaimed himself emperor, and the end of Liu Qi's death. In the past 61 years, a Jiazi should belong to the era of "the rule of Wenjing" in a broad sense! Although the Empress Dowager Lü Pheasant took a detour to support the Lü family in terms of political ideology, her national policy line has never changed. Therefore, on the medal of Wenjingzhizhi, there is also a credit to Liu Bang, Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying, Empress Dowager Bo, Empress Dowager Dou and others! The rulers of the early Han Dynasty all took the death of the Qin Dynasty as a mirror, governed the country with the Huang Lao thought of doing nothing, and took the general policy of purity and not disturbing the people and allowing the people to recuperate and recuperate, so as to promote social development and economic prosperity, thus creating an unprecedented prosperous era of strong stability, military revolution, prosperity at home, and strong national strength!

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the first Jiazi was the process of the Han Dynasty turning from a chrysalis to a butterfly. It was as if the giant carrying the top carried the dark gate of history, allowing the beautiful butterfly of the Han Dynasty to find the dawn, smell the flowers, and pounce back to spring... In fact, Wenjing Zhizhi did not breed a butterfly with wings. It's an eagle with high wings and flying proudly! The name of this eagle's era is: Han Wu Xiongfeng!

What practical benefits did the rule of Wenjing bring to the people of the Han Dynasty? I think there are only two kinds of things: to eat and clothe and to suffer less. The truth is obvious. In the history of China, the literati never stopped shouting for the people: death, the people suffer; Xing, the people are bitter. The former often suffered from war, while the latter often suffered from the emperor's large-scale construction projects. But Liu Heng is indeed an exception. He didn't have a big palace, and even the clothes he wore didn't change for decades. Xing, let the people be happy. I thought: this is the charm of Wenjing Zhizhi!

Looking at Chinese history, there are only two standards for measuring the happiness index of the ancient Chinese people: food and clothing, and political clarity. If on this basis, it is even more OK to allow ordinary people to have their own entertainment time and place. If the above three criteria are used to evaluate Liu Heng and Liu Qi's father and son, we can show such a score: satisfied.

According to Sima Guang, the rule of Wenjing has brought great wealth to society. First of all, the money of the Han Dynasty government was piled up in the treasury, and it was impossible to count, and the flowers could not be spent, and even the string for threading was rotten. Secondly, the granaries of all parts of the country are full, and some even have no place to fill them, so they can only be opened in the open air, and they are so rotten that they cannot be eaten. Again, the people are well-off, and many people can afford to buy a real BMW. I've heard that if you're on the street, if you're riding a female or a young horse, you're going to be too cheap. If you come back from a strolling, no one will look down on you again.

For example, in an era where even ordinary people are competing to compare with BMW, I think: this era must be really rich. If you can travel back to the era of the reign of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty one day, and randomly interview a Han Dynasty person, "Are you happy?", he may answer you like this, "Happiness", if you ask "where is happiness", he will say something like this: "There is food, money to spend, housing to live in, low unemployment rate, and a BMW to drive." If you commit a crime, you will be beaten less, and you can go home with patience. If your hands are itchy, you can also go to Yanmen County to join the army, protect your family and defend the country and fight the Huns" I think: This street interview about the happiness index is enough to interpret the charm of Wenjingzhizhi!
