In 210 BC, Qin Shihuang fell ill during his eastward tour. When he reached the sand dunes, he was no longer able to support his body and died in the palace. Before his death, the edict of Qin Shihuang asked his son 福苏 to return to Xianyang from the northern border to preside over the funeral. This edict was interpreted as Li Fusu as the new emperor. At this time, Li Si and Zhao Gao, who followed the team, were frightened, and were very unwilling to their opponent Meng Tianmengyi. They conspired to rewrite the edict, let the youngest son Hu Hai succeed to the throne, and sent a fake edict to give Fusu and 蒙天 to the death.
After Qin unified the six kingdoms, Meng Tian was ordered to bring 300,000 Qin elites to fight against the Huns in the north. In the course of these years of struggle, Meng Tian not only regained a large area of land, but also allowed the Huns to retreat for hundreds of miles, not daring to attack the Central Plains at all. After that, Meng Tian guarded the northern border for a long time, and built the Great Wall, fortresses and straight roads (Qin Chao highway).
Meng Tian 蒙毅 are all from the Meng family. This family has been loyal to the King of Qin for three generations and is the "dead loyal" of the Qin royal family. What is even more commendable is that in the generation of Meng Tianmengyi, the two brothers not only tried their best to assist Qin Shihuang, but were also courageous and conscientious.
However, it may be that Qin Shihuang's checks and balances have been too aggressive, or the power struggle above the court may be too fierce. The Meng family has never been at peace with , Zhao Gao, and , and there is no good relationship with Li Si. Once Meng Yi ordered Zhao Gao to be executed for committing a crime, and the two parties also forged a "private enmity." For so many years, although Qin Shihuang pardoned Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao never gave up his wariness and hatred towards Montessori in his heart.
The other key figure who initiated the rebellion is Li Si . Although Li Si wrote a good handwriting, although he was an elite of legalists, and although he had the means to govern the world, Li Si had a radical value, that is, the famous "hamster theory." Li Si believed that only the right environment can make People are well-developed, even if there is no suitable environment for people with high ability,There must be no room for development.
Although this kind of thinking is very reasonable, Li Si did not add a prerequisite, that is, no matter the environment or people, you must make the right choice, not just because of survival to make a blind choice. For his future status and survival, Li Si decided to conspire with Zhao Gao, which created the " dune incident" that affected history.
Not long ago, because Qin Shihuang ordered to kill the alchemist and Fusu bluntly wrote to him, he was so angry that Qin Shihuang sent Fusu to the north to supervise Meng Tian's military training. With the death of Emperor Qin Shihuang in Sand Dune, after Zhao Gao and Li Si conspired, Fusu and Meng Tian immediately became targets that must be eliminated. Therefore, the two received the edict from Qin Shihuang to die at the same time.
Although Fusu confronted Qin Shihuang many times, his filial piety and loyalty to the Qin Dynasty never deviated in the slightest. After receiving the edict, Fusu committed suicide immediately. And Meng Tian deserves to be a general with 300,000 troops in his hand, and immediately suspected that the matter was different. However, thanks to the power system of the Qin Dynasty, the edict brought by the messenger came into play immediately, and Meng Tian was discharged from military power and escorted to Yangzhou and imprisoned.
Although Meng Tian refused to obey the order to die, he could not help himself. Without military power and weapons, he is like a rash, unable to make any waves. According to the "Historical Records of Meng Tian Biography", Meng Tian said two words before dying:
Since my ancestors, and their descendants, they have accumulated credit in Qin III. The current minister has more than 300,000 soldiers. Although his body is imprisoned, his strength is enough to multiply his strength, but he who knows he will die and defends righteousness, dare not insult the teachings of the ancestors, so as not to forget the ancestors.
These two sentences mean: grandfather, father, plus two brothers, I don't know how much merit has been accumulated for Daqin. Now, he, who once held an army of 300,000, is actually in prison. Although he has the ability to betray, but he can't do such a thing that goes against the righteousness of the family. Because I didn't dare to insult the teachings of my ancestors, nor did I dare to forget the trust and kindness of the Qin kings for several generations to Montessori.
then,Meng Tian committed suicide with injustice.
In fact, according to the power system of the Qin Dynasty, from the moment the messenger announced the will of Qin Shihuang, Meng Tian was doomed to death. Even if Meng Tian rebelled on the spot, unless he was prepared and planned, his generals and soldiers would retreat because of the fear of the Qin Dynasty's continuous and harsh laws, leading to the failure of the rebellion.
However, from a loyal military commander of the third world to a prisoner who was sent to prison in one sentence, Meng Tian naturally felt extremely angry, unwilling and wronged. And Meng Tian's death also caused the Qin Dynasty to lose important generals, and the dynasty broke its arms. Later, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang uprising, Liu Bang Xiang Yu attacked Xianyang, all of which were greatly affected.
More than 400 years later, in 205 AD, a famous person in Chinese history was very sad about Meng Tian, and he couldn't stop crying. This person was Cao Cao, one of the hegemons of the Three Kingdoms.
According to the records of the Three Kingdoms:
Hu Hai's killing Meng Tian also, Tian said:....... Every time I read the book of these two people, it is not uncomfortable to runny.
Here, Cao Cao meant to say: The loyalty of the three generations of Meng Tian touched me deeply. Every time I read this, I shed tears. So why did Cao Cao see the two sentences Meng Tian said, so sad that he would cry every time he read it? Could it be that Cao Cao was really moved by Meng Tian's loyalty, thinking about his situation, and feeling it?
In fact, when Cao Cao uttered this sentence, it happened to be "taking the emperor to command the princes". After defeating Yuan Shao's army, he gradually eliminated Yuan Shao's remaining forces. At this time, he took advantage of the momentum and gradually expanded. The defeat of the Battle of Chibi had not yet erupted, and Cao Cao proclaimed his ideas to the Han Emperor Xiandi, to the ministers of the imperial court, and other parties through an impassioned, emotional, and magnificent " narrative order ".
Cao Cao wanted to show that although I am now in a high position, although the military power is in hand, although the emperor listens to me,But my purpose is to help the Han room. If I shed my military power, not only will the Cao family suffer, but the entire country will be in danger. The order in the Han room that was finally restored is going to be chaotic again. I am not for vanity, I have to do it.
For fear of leaving one's own army, it will be a disaster. It is not only for the children and grandchildren, but also the country is in danger when one is defeated.
It is often said that Cao Cao is a generation of traitors. He held the emperor to make the princes a great rebellious act, and because of this, he was attacked and condemned by all forces in the world. Even the Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han have always used this to attack Cao Cao: Although Kuang helped the Han room, this "Cao thief" was stealing the country.
So, did Cao Cao in history really do insidious acts of stealing the country under the guise of high-sounding? In this regard, some scholars would like to ask: Have we wronged you? After this "Commentary", Cao Cao allowed his sons to be nominated, but took the initiative to return to the fiefs of the three counties to express his loyalty. But the military power in his hand did not relax at all, and he rushed to start the war.
Not to mention how overbearing Cao Cao was when he was in charge of the Emperor Xian, nor that Cao Cao gave orders as if the emperor came in person, but said that Cao Cao sent the bowl of broth to Emperor Xian of Han, which was enough to save this man. The life of the last emperor of the Han family. Some people say that Cao Cao saved Han Xiandi to increase his bargaining chips. But, now think about it, if Cao Cao really didn't care about the Han Emperor Xiandi, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would die a few decades earlier. So, will the world be a more peaceful and quiet situation? The result is negative. It will be more chaotic, will intensify the separatism of the princes, and make the war even more violent.
Some people say that Cao Cao did not usurp the throne to become emperor until his death, although he only needs to move his lips to achieve this. From this point of view, Cao Cao is indeed loyal. In fact, this statement makes a lot of sense! In the early stage, Cao Cao relied on Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to gain fame and power, or because he held the emperor himself, he had enough momentum to attract talents and recruit soldiers.
But later, when Cao Cao was strong enough, he still did not attempt to usurp the throne.Although we don't know his true thoughts, why didn't Cao Cao take the step of becoming the emperor?
According to the records of "Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao is a descendant of Xiangguo Cao Shen of the Han Dynasty. His father was the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng. Although Cao Cao was clever, studious and bohemian, he was promoted in the Han Dynasty from the very beginning and was influenced by his father Cao Song . Therefore, Cao Cao also developed a sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty from his bones.
Cao Cao said that he wanted to help the Han room, and that he wanted to "welcome the emperor". I believe it is credible. Except for the threats from outside princes and the suspicion of his loyalty in various places, Cao Cao did not ascend the position of emperor. I believe this is inseparable from his belonging and sustenance to the Han Dynasty.
So, Cao Cao might have used the opportunity of holding the emperor to do something for himself in the troubled times, but he might really have a plan and goal to help the Han room in his heart.
When Cao Cao saw Meng Tian's three generations of loyal allegiance to the Emperor Qin, he still ended up unjustly killed. And he was also a loyal Han room of three generations, but he still had to end up with the infamy of "scheming to usurp the throne", feeling wronged, and crying sadly. It was only after seeing this that we might have wrongly blamed him, this "loyal minister" with the world in mind.
