Hello everyone, I am Captain Nemo . Welcome to take the Nautilus. Captain Nemo takes you to the ocean of knowledge.
The second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (10 years), New Dynasty Jingzhao Dayin Zhen Xun Forged the emperor Wang Mang The daughter of the royal family Huang should be the talisman of his wife. Wang Mang was very angry about this and ordered the arrest of General Gengshi Zhen Feng and his son Zhen Xun. Zhen Xun made great contributions to the establishment of the new dynasty, but he only coveted the Huang royal family. Why did Wang Mang execute him? The captain told you in detail.
1, born in a famous family,
zhenxun was born in the Historical tribe and was the son of Zhen Feng, the commander of the commander of Jingzhao, so he received a good education since childhood, had insight into the world and knew how to adapt to changes. When Zhen Xun grew up, with the help of his father Zhen Feng, he became an official, and was appreciated by his powerful minister Wang Mang with his talent.
At that time, the late Western Han Dynasty, and the power gradually fell into the hands of Wang Mang, the relative of the foreigner. In order to seek high-ranking officials and generous salaries, Zhen Feng took the initiative to choose to surrender to Wang Mang and gradually became his confidant. Then Zhen Xun followed his father's footsteps and became Wang Mang's subordinate, which was highly appreciated by Wang Mang.
Yuanshou two years (1 year ago), Wang Mang supported the eight-year-old Emperor Ai of Han and Liu Wei (kan) as the emperor and completely controlled the Western Han Dynasty court. Zhen Feng and Zhen Xun also followed Wang Mang to heaven and became important officials of the Western Han Dynasty. Zhen Feng was promoted from Guangluxun, one of the nine ministers to Dasikong, one of the three ministers, while Zhen Xun was promoted from a lack of historical records and unknown promotion.
0 In the third year of Yuanshi (3 years), Wang Mang sent his daughter Wang to the palace, making her the Empress of Emperor Ping of Han. Then Wang Mang's son Wang Yu was worried that his father Wang Mang's autocracy would end up being exterminated like the powerful minister Huo Guang, so he joined hands with his wife and brother Lu Kuan to create a bloody incident. As a result, Wang Yu and Lu Kuan were reported and executed by Wang Mang. Wang Mang ordered Zhen Feng and Zhen Xun to use this matter to kill loyal ministers who had the heart to the Han Dynasty.
2, Jingzhao Dayin
December 1, 5th year of Yuanshi (February 3, 6), Emperor Ping of Han suddenly died of illness, and Wang Mang thus supported , only one year old, Liu Ying as the emperor. Wang Mang then stepped up his pace of usurping the throne, so he sent people to pretend to be the emperor's talisman, hoping to become independent on behalf of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.
However, the opinions within the Wang Mang group on Wang Mang's proclaimed emperor were not unified, and they were divided into the faction headed by senior officials and the faction headed by the lower officials. The faction maintains the status quo believes that the Han Dynasty's royal family is strong, and it is already a very powerful minister. Even if it supports Wang Mang to claim the title of emperor, it is no longer possible to be promoted, so it is unwilling to further promote Wang Mang to become emperor. In order to hold a high position, the school of Emperors in the Han Dynasty hoped to become a founding hero of the new dynasty, so they actively forged the talisman of Wang Mang's emperor.
First year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (9th year), Wang Mang usurped the Han established the new dynasty. Because he was resentful of Zhen Feng's negative attitude towards becoming emperor in the Han Dynasty, he only named him General Gengshi and Duke Guangxin. Zhen Xun was awarded the title of Dayin of Jingzhao and Marquis of Maode. General Gengshi was one of the four auxiliary officers, with a status of three Dukes including Dasikong; Jingzhao Dayin was equivalent to the Jingzhao Yin of the Western Han Dynasty, and was the highest administrative officer of the capital. Zhen Xun saw that his father Zhen Feng's status in the new dynasty was not as high as that in the Western Han Dynasty, so he was very dissatisfied with this, so he decided to fake a talisman and improve his father's status.
3, the matter was defeated and killed
, when Zixun was appointed as the minister of the imperial court, Maode, and then made a talisman, saying that the new room should be divided into Shaanxi, and the two lords were appointed Feng as the right lords, and the Taifu Pingyan as the left lords, such as Zhou and Zhao. Mang immediately followed it and appointed Feng as his right boss. (Han Shu ·Biography of Wang Mang)
2nd year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (10 years), Zhen Xun followed the old example of the rule of Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong dying in Shaanxi during the Western Zhou Dynasty, forging a saying that the new dynasty should be ruled by Zhen Feng and Ping Yan. In order to make this talisman look real, Zhen Xun deliberately brought the Taifu Pingyan (one of the four auxiliary officials, with status above the three officials) and asked him and Zhen Feng to act as Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong together. Wang Mang has always admired the system of Western Zhou and believed in prophecies and divination, so he named Zhen Feng as You Bo and Ping Yan as Zuo Bo.
Xun made a talisman again, saying that the Emperor Huang's wife of the Han family was Xun's wife. The rebellion was established with deception, and he was suspicious of the ministers' resentment and slander. He wanted to shock his power and fear his subordinates. He was angry and said, "The Huang royal family is the mother of the world, what is this!" He captured and searched. After searching for death, Feng committed suicide. (Book of Han·Biography of Wang Mang)
Zhen Xun saw that his talisman fate was soon fulfilled, and he became bolder in his heart, so he had the idea of the Huang Royal Family (i.e., the Empress Wang of Emperor Ping of Han) and wanted to marry her as his wife. Then Zhen Xun forged the talisman and said that the Huang royal family should marry Zhen Xun as his wife.
Previously, after Wang Mang established the new dynasty, he wanted to find a husband for his widowed daughter Huang Huang's daughter (i.e., the princess). He once asked the son of General Sun Jian, the founding country, to go on a blind date, but was rejected by Huang Huang's family who missed his deceased husband. Wang Mang had to give up his plan to remarry the Huang royal family. Zhen Xun's talisman was naturally very angry. He felt that he was actually imitating his intention to usurp power and seize the throne. So he said angrily: "The Huang royal family's mother is in the world, which is nonsense!"
Xun's hand has the word "Son of Heaven". Mang untied his arm and looked at it, saying, "This is a eldest son, or a sixth son. Six is to kill. Ming Xun's father and son should be killed." (Biography of Wang Mang in Han Dynasty)
Then Wang Mang sent someone to capture Zhen Feng and Zhen Xun's father and son. Zhen Feng was so scared that he committed suicide, and Zhen Xun escaped early. Then Zhen Xun followed the alchemist to Mount Hua and hid in the woods to avoid the search. However, Zhen Xun, who escaped the disaster, was unwilling to spend the rest of his life in obscurity, and continued to forge the talisman, saying that the hand patterns on his hands contained the word "Son of Heaven", proving that he would replace Wang Mang as the emperor.
More than a year later, Zhen Xun was still captured and executed by officials of the Xin Dynasty. Then the executioner cut off Zhen Xun's arm and handed it to Wang Mang. Wang Mang looked at Zhen Xun's arm and said, "This is 'one son' or 'one six sons'. Six means killing, which means Zhen Xun and his son should be killed."
