In 134 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked for a strategy for governing the country, Dong Zhongshu The idea of "respecting Confucianism" was adopted, so the "Three Principles and Five Constants" became a moral code that lasted for thousands of years, but the "Three Principles and Five Constants" is not what people imagine today. Unbearable, it does emphasize "the ruler is the guide of the ministers", but Confucian has always advocated benevolence, and will not demand only one party, so "Three Guidelines and Five Constants" is actually followed by the sentence "The ruler is not right, the minister votes for another country" , Hechen was placed in an equal position.
said that Han Xuandi and Zhao Chongguo what happened. In the past, Emperor Wu of Han severely cracked down on Xiongnu and Qiang , and set up counties in Hexi to completely separate West Qiang and northern Xiongnu , lest they collude with each other to attack Han Dynasty , but in the later period still can not prevent Qiang people move secretly to the north of Huangshui, so that the Qiang people not only have the intention of colluding with the Huns, but also prepare for the of the tribes of the Qiang people. Unite to expand the intrusion into the western part of the Han Dynasty.
The period when this intention intensified was the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. At first, everyone had no awareness of this aspect. It was not until in 63 AD Qiang tribe and other scattered tribes signed the Covenant that Emperor Xuan of Han realized the problem. Zhao Chongguo pointed out that "it is advisable to prepare for it before it happens", and also proposed: 1. Strengthen military frontier defense; 2. Divide the Qiang tribe and explore their premeditated plans. As a result, In 61 BC, they sent Doctor Guanglu Yiqu Anguo as an envoy .
Originally, the Qiang people dared to cross the Huangshui River without permission. Part of the reason was that Yiqu Anguo agreed without asking, indicating that he was a man with no vision. This time he was sent out, and it turned out to be a bad thing. In the Qiang area, he secretly inquired about the enemy's situation, and as soon as he arrived, he summoned more than 30 tribal leaders, and directly beheaded them all on the charge of disobedience and disobedience, and then killed more than a thousand people. Resistance, the war is on the verge of .
Pig teammate Yiqu Anguo saw that the matter could not be solved by himself, so he hurriedly reported to the emperor and requested to quell the rebellion. This was very painful for Emperor Xuan of the Han. He liked Zhao Chongguo in his heart, but Zhao Chongguo was 76 years old, although later agreed. He asked Zhao Chongguo to send troops, but he was still uneasy. From time to time, he would talk to the ministers about Zhao Chongguo's situation and solicit everyone's opinions. Therefore, the most annoying thing about Zhao Chongguo's Battle of Pingxi Qiang was not fighting the Qiang people, but And the Han Xuandi seesaw.
After arriving on the battlefield, Zhao Chongguo knew what he had in mind. He sent troops, so he allowed the Qiang people to provoke them, and he slowly planned how to destroy the tribes and control the water grass pastures, but at this time, the other 60,000 troops also assembled, and everything seemed to be the right time.
The people of the DPRK and the Chinese couldn't wait for it, hoping that Zhao Chongguo would send troops immediately. Xin Wuxian felt that it was very good to use to blitz , so he wrote to Emperor Xuan of Han. After listening to the courtiers discussing for a while, Emperor Xuan of Han was also very moved, and immediately let Xin Wuxian be the leader He broke the Qiang General , changed Zhao Chongguo as an assistant and went out as soon as possible, and accused him a few words, but Zhao Chongguo had his own rhythm, He was unwilling, and after explaining his reasons, he directly resisted the decree, just very rigid Yes, he almost scared his own son to death.
However, Emperor Gao was far away on this day, and Emperor Xuan of Han had nothing to do with him. He could only agree to his strategy and . As a result, the Qiang people were really confused by his lazy atmosphere, and their thoughts were very relaxed. In the end, 500 people were beheaded, but more than 100,000 horses, cattle, and sheep, and more than 4,000 vehicles were obtained. After that, it went smoothly. basically did not fight much, and the Qiang people were pacified.
At this time, Zhao Chongguo fell ill, and the court became worried again. Emperor Xuan of the Han ordered Xin Wuxian to replace him and pursue the victory. However, Zhao Chongguo believed that the Qiang people had already surrendered to and million people. He once again resisted the decree and planned to arrange for cavalry to settle the fields , "waiting for them", was just really tough, he was about to frighten his middle-ranking general Zhao Wei, but Zhao Chongguo didn't care so much, and continued to field the fields The book explains your plans.
Emperor Xuan of the Han disagreed, saying that the settlement of fields may not necessarily solve the Qiang people, so Zhao Chongguo continued to write, and later Emperor Xuan of Han handed over his plan to the ministers for discussion, and finally more and more people agreed with his strategy, even the Prime MinisterWei Xiang Very agreeable, Emperor Xuan of Han also agreed with his idea, but Xin Wuxian and others were always afraid that Zhao Chongguo would lose the field, and persuaded Emperor Xuan of Han to let him send troops. soldier.
In 60 BC, Zhao Chongguo successfully won this battle with the least force, The Qiang people were unable to raise the storm again, Emperor Xuan of Han had to express his admiration for him, repeatedly praised him for being a genius of , and later allowed Zhao Chongguo to return it. In the dynasty, after Zhao Chongguo returned, many Qiang people surrendered one after another. He was about to retire in his later years. Emperor Xuan of Han not only approved, but also gave him 60 catties of gold. When Zhao Chongguo died in 52 BC, he was given the posthumous title "Zhuang".
From the tug of war between Emperor Xuan of Han and Zhao Chongguo, it is not difficult to see that in the Western Han Dynasty with Confucianism as the official philosophy, "the monarch is the guide of the ministers" has not been rigidified into what everyone imagined in later generations. He is unwilling and dares to resist the decree three times. Although this is on the premise of his confidence, it can still prove that can achieve a balance between the power of the monarch and the power of the minister. Demonized a lot.
