The father of Ying Zheng, the first emperor of Lv Buwei, was called "a man without talent". Because she was not the eldest son of the prince, her mother was not loved and was held hostage by Zhao. Qin people almost forgot him. I came to Handan, the capital of Zhao, to do business, and met my son, who thought it was a strange commodity and would make countless profits in the future. So he took out a lot of money to help him in Qin, and made friends with princes and envoys in Handan, and finally succeeded. Mark was recognized as the heir by the prince. Later, a foreigner ascended the throne of Qin and appointed Lv Buwei as prime minister. This is King Zhuang Xiang. Wangzhuang died in the third year of his reign, and thirteen-year-old Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne of Qin. Because he was too young, he entrusted state affairs to Lv Buwei, regarded him as the prime minister and called him "Guan Zhong".
Lv Buwei and Ying Zheng's mother Evonne had an old love affair, and they fell in love again. Lv Buwei often went in and out of the palace to meet the Queen Mother Zhao Ji. When Ying Zheng of Qin grew up, he was afraid that the apocalypse would bring him disaster. He found a man named Ai, sent him to the palace and left by himself. Empress Zhao Ji liked this old Ai very much and gave him a very generous reward. She also wrote him a long letter. The queen mother was pregnant again, and in order to hide it from others, they moved to the palace of Emperor Yong. In the ninth year of Qin Shihuang, it was reported that the Queen Mother and Lao Ai had two sons, and they plotted to make this son the king of Qin after his death. Qin Shihuang thoroughly investigated the matter, so he dismembered and extinct Lao Ai.
This matter involved Lv Buwei, and Ying Zheng relieved Lv Buwei of his post as prime minister. Originally, Ying Zheng wanted to kill Lv Buwei, but because of his great contribution to the former king, he didn't pursue it. But in October of the following year, Qin Shihuang welcomed his mother back to Xianyang, dismissed Lv Buwei from his post as prime minister, and drove him out of the capital and returned to his fief.
After Lv Buwei returned to the fief, envoys and guests from various vassal states visited him in an endless stream. In the twelfth year of Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, was afraid of Lv Buwei's rebellion, so he wrote a letter to Lv Buwei, saying, "How much contribution have you made to the State of Qin? You can enjoy 100 thousand food cities. What is your blood relationship with the king of Qin? It can be called Guanzhong! " Then ordered his family to move to the area. Lv Buwei was afraid of being killed, so he killed himself by drinking.
From Guan Zhong, the king of Qin, to forced suicide, why is there such a big contrast in Lv Buwei's life? Actually, in that chaotic world, kingship and relative power are also in a big game. If the emperor is not vigilant, it is hard to say that Guo Xiang, a great power, will not take its place. Lv Buwei has100000 fiefs, and has controlled the state of Qin for more than ten years. How did Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, not worry about changing hands? In the ninth year of Ying Zheng's reign, a coronation ceremony was held, that is to say, he was already in office. At this time, it was no accident that someone denounced the queen mother and old aunt. First, Lv Buwei was found to be involved in this incident, then he was driven out of Beijing and finally moved to Shu. This step-by-step action also reflects the scheming and means of Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. When he moved out of the fief, Lv Buwei finally realized that he had failed completely. In order not to be extinct like Ai, he chose suicide instead of rebellion. This may be his best ending, but it is the sorrow of a Guanzhong emperor.
Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of Liu Bei, the first emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. In the third year of Zhangwu, Liu Bei was critically ill in Yong 'an. So he called Zhuge Liang and Li from Chengdu to discuss the affairs, and sent a letter to Zhuge Liang as a father. Therefore, Liu Chan called Zhuge Liang "father". Because Zhuge Liang is the prime minister, ranking above Li Yan, and his suppression of Li Yan, power is completely concentrated in Zhuge Liang's hands. In the words of history books, "there are no details in politics, but salt is fixed when it is light." He also said: "The government is governed by the Ge family, and the sacrifice is for me." Meaning: All power belongs to Zhuge Liang, and I am only responsible for ancestor worship. In other words, Liu Chan volunteered to be the nominal head of state. As long as this country is surnamed Liu, Zhuge Liang can do whatever he wants. As Liu Chan said, when Zhuge Liang was alive, there was a movie called Biography, which recorded how Zhuge Liang was and never saw what Liu Chan had done. But after Zhuge Liang's death, the treatment known as "disgrace" plummeted.
In the 12th year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang died of illness in Hanzhong. His body was not transported back to Chengdu, but was buried on Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang's grave can only be filled with coffins, only what he carried with him was put in the grave, and nothing else was buried with him. This is just the beginning, and there are more demanding things. When Zhuge Liang just died, all localities asked him to set up temples for sacrifice. The result of the court discussion is not allowed. Therefore, most people will go to the roadside to offer sacrifices during festivals. Someone suggested building a temple for Zhuge Liang in Chengdu, but Liu Chan didn't agree. Until 29 years later, the two ministers wrote to suggest building a temple in Mianyang, close to the cemetery, so as not to worry that Zhuge Temple was too close to the royal ancestral temple, and people were not allowed to sacrifice privately on the road. Liu Chan agreed. This proposal solved Liu Chan's heart disease. If Zhuge Liang had a temple in Chengdu, would Liu Chan go to worship it? When the princes and ministers went to worship, did Liu Chan agree or disagree? At this time, it was only one year before Shu Han conquered the whole country. In the autumn of this year, Zhuge Liang set up a temple, and the general of Wei and his troops collected Shu, went to worship in Zhuge Liang's temple, and ordered that grazing and firewood cutting were not allowed near Zhuge Liang's cemetery. An enemy general respects Zhuge Liang so much. Why was Liu Chan, the Emperor of Shu, so hard on Zhuge Liang? The root cause of tableland is that Zhuge Liang was too strict with Liu Chan before his death, which made Liu Chan bear a grudge and want revenge after his death.
Huang taiji did not designate an heir before his death. After his death, Hogg, the eldest son of the emperor, and Dourgen, the younger brother of the emperor, competed for the throne. While they were arguing, Fu Lin's mother, Huang Taiji's concubine, published Fu Lin in time, proposing that Fu Lin, the son of Huang Taiji, be the emperor and Dourgen the regent. In this way, Fu Lin became the emperor and called it the emperor shunzhi. But because the emperor was young, the imperial power was actually in the hands of Dourgen. During his reign, he was successively named Uncle Regent and Uncle Regent.
In the seventh year of Shunzhi, Dourgen hunted and fell off his horse. Shortly after his death, he wrote to Yi and gave the temple a name. However, less than two months after Dourgen's death, he was convicted and deprived of his title, imperial clan, family property, temple enjoyment and heir. Even a person who burns incense and kowtows is not allowed. Not to mention, he was dug up, his coffin was opened and his body was flogged in public. Dourgen, the actual emperor of the Qing Empire and the founder of the Manchu regime, had a tragic ending.
It was not until the thirty-eighth and forty-third years of Qianlong that the emperor Qianlong issued a letter twice that Dourgen gradually recovered his reputation and enjoyed the due losses. At this time, it has passed 128 years since Dourgen's death.
In fact, Ying Zheng, Liu Chan and Fu Lin all had the same experience. They have been controlled by one person for a long time and live an uncomfortable life in the shadow of one person. They have no free life, no happiness or even their own language. On the contrary, they have to listen to this person's constant "instructions". They should do this, not that, and they must listen patiently. A father keeps nagging, and his son can talk back when he is upset, but they can't. They have the same inner fear, the throne is always in jeopardy, and life is always in fear. This fear is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Of course, they are emperors after all. Once they are given the opportunity to exercise their power, retaliation is inevitable. Long-term depression and fear distorted their hearts.
There are several Guanzhong areas in history.
Shang Zeng assisted, and after the death of King Wen, he continued to assist his son. Zhou Wuwang called him Fu Shang, and after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, he was sealed in the air. Because his surname is Jiang, he is called. After the enfeoffment system, he took office in Qi State and died soon.
The descendants of Guan Zhong and Jiang Taigong emerged as a hegemon, that is, Qi Huangong. Not long after he became the monarch, he appointed Guan Zhong as the prime minister. In order to show respect, he ordered the Chinese people to respect Guan Zhong as "Guan Zhong". Guan Zhong helped Qi Huangong rule for 40 years and died before Qi Huangong.
Fan Zeng was called "the father of the country" by Xiang Yu, but he was regarded as an elder, and the power was in Xiang Yu's hands, which was a normal relationship between monarch and minister.
After Sun Zhang's death, Sun Quan was entrusted to Zhang Zhao. At this time, Zhang Zhao's position and role in Wu far exceeded Zhuge Liang's, because this was the most chaotic time in the world and the world was uncertain. Because Zhang Zhao persuaded Sun Quan to submit to Cao Cao before Battle of Red Cliffs, Sun Quan was not reused, but he still devoted himself to assisting Sun Quan and consciously put himself in the position of a courtier. Older, resigned due to illness. It is quite glorious to express condolences when Sun Quan died. Just because of the romance of the Three Kingdoms, this person's image is a bit derogatory, but the tableland is to set off Zhuge Liang's sublimity.
Wang Dao followed Si Marui, the Emperor of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Also known as "Jiangdong Guanzhong". He assisted three emperors successively, and was buried by Emperor Jincheng with the highest courtier standard after his death.
Confucius was also called Guan Zhong because of the word "Zhong Ni". He is not the scope of the Guanzhong emperor mentioned in this paper, but the "father of XX" in the modern sense.
Behind every misfortune in Guanzhong is an abnormal relationship between monarch and minister. Of course, the normal relationship between monarch and minister is full of suspicion and struggle, and will eventually be eliminated by history, but that is another matter.
