He is just a small person, and his actions are also simple. He just starts to defend the truth of the situation at the cost of his life.
But his actions shocked later generations. People did not forget him because of his low status, nor did they despise him because he did not establish outstanding achievements and left good advice to rule the world.
Dizong Li Yu held a grand burial ceremony for him, posthumously named him the Minister of War, and could enjoy the temple courtyard of Li Dan.
Qing dynasty 41st year (1776 AD), one thousand years after his death, he was the governor of Shaanxi at that time, Bi Yuan himself wrote "The Tomb of Jinzang of the Public Security Bureau of the Tang Dynasty", and made people erect the monument as their ambition.
Another two hundred years later, it was announced as the first batch of cultural relics protection units in Shaanxi Province in 1986, and a protection organization and scientific record archive was established.
Nowadays, the village where his tomb is located is Yong'an Village, Jianjun Town, Yongshou County, Shaanxi Province. Villagers spontaneously established the tombstone cultural relics protection organization , and set up a dedicated person to take care of it.
This person is called An Jinzang , a mid-term in the Tang Dynasty. At first, he was just a good person next to Li Dan, Emperor Ruizong of Tang, specializing in court music, sacrifices, sacrificial dance music and . Historical records clearly record that An Jinzang was a Hu man, a native of the Western Regions Abdha (now Iran), and an ancient Sogdian .
Tang Gaozong After Li Zhi died, Wu Zetian Admiralty was appointed as the emperor and crown prince, and he ascended the throne himself. Faced with the rebellious forces of the Li royal family, Wu Zetian always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and even his own son was always at the rank of defense.
Coincidentally, someone falsely accused the prince Li Dan of rebelling, and Wu Zetian was suspicious. In case of precaution, Juncheng was sent to try the case. Lai Juncheng was the most cruel official in the Wu Emperor's dynasty. He invented a very cruel instrument of interrogation and torture. The means of torture and forced confessions were unprecedented. There were more than 200 officials he interrogated. He was disabled and was defeated and confessed.
Lai Juncheng quickly surrounded the Prince's Palace and arrested all the people around Prince Li Dan. Many people feared Lai Juncheng's torture and confessed against their will. only An Jinzang said generously: The prince has no intention of rebellion at all. "If you don't believe Jinzang's words, please tell me that The emperor's heir will not rebel!"
An Jinzang did what he said, then pulled out his sword and stabbed it into his belly. In an instant, blood flowed like a stream, his intestines scattered all over the ground, and he fainted on the ground.
After hearing this, Emperor Wu was shocked and immediately ordered people to carry An Jinzang into the palace and ordered the imperial doctor to do his best to treat it. The imperial physician did not dare to neglect it, so he carefully put the intestines back into his abdomen, carefully sutured the knife edge with mulberry white bark as a thread, and applied the above herbs. An Jinzang really deserves to die. After a night, he actually woke up miraculously. Empress Wu visited him in person and sighed very much: "The prince (Li Dan) is injustice, but he cannot defend himself. Instead, he lets you clear him of the charge. The prince is not as loyal as you!" Then he issued an edict to terminate the trial of the case, and Li Dan survived.
In 705 AD, after Tang Ruizong Li Dan was restored, he was grateful to An Jinzang for his righteous actions and sacrificed his life to save him, and promoted him to the right Wuwei Central Army General .
In August of 712 AD ( the first year of the Xiantian year ), Tang Xuanzong Li Longji , "remembering Jin Zang's loyalty, issued an order to praise him, and promoted him to the General of the Right Guard, and ordered the historian to compile the matter in the next step." Not only was he promoted An Jinzang's official position, he also ordered historians to write this righteous act in detail in historical materials.
In 732 AD (the 20th year of Kaiyuan), Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was granted the title of An Jinzang as Duke of Dai.
An Jinzang cuts his own abdomen and proves his innocence to others at critical moments. He can be said to be a person who has been in the ages.The significance of his move is that in the face of powerful power, he is not afraid of inhumane torture and forced confessions, he is willing to sacrifice his precious life, and he must defend the truth!
An Jinzang was just a small person, but his move had an immeasurable shocking effect on the Tang court. Even Wu Zetian himself admired it very much. In the following decades, the Tang dynasty and the opposition political style was clean, and officials dared to speak out and advise, creating the Kaiyuan prosperous era , which all reflects the shadow of An Jinzang's heroic courage.
