With the hits of "Grave Robber Notes" and "Ghost Blowing Lantern", nouns such as Faqiu Zhonglang and Mojin School Lieutenant are also widely known, and they all know that this is the name for the tomb robber. But do you know? This was actually a formal official position in history, and the pioneer was Cao Cao, the cattleman of the Three Kingdoms.
Speaking of this, I admire Cao Cao. There were many tomb robbers in history, and they were basically sneaking and making small noises. However, he was a large-scale and organized tomb robber. He also set up an official post for this purpose to support the army through tomb robbery. Three years. Compared with him, "Tanglin Thief" Sun Dianying can only be regarded as a junior.
The first to publicly expose the tomb of Cao Cao was Chen Lin, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an". At that time, he served as the chief secretary under Yuan Shao's account, that is, professional secretary. Before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao ordered him to write "An Essay on the Conquest of Cao Cao".
It’s like this in ancient times. It’s important to know that a teacher is famous. Before the official start of the war, you have to write a message, count the other party’s sins, describe yourself as the crime of substituting the sky, stand on the moral high ground, and then start the fight. .
This is very similar to that before Bush Jr. cleaned up Saddam in the United States, Secretary of State Powell held a small test tube filled with white powder in Congress as an ironclad evidence that Iraq had a large-scale biological weapon, for the US military. The legitimacy of the action was propagated. As for the white powder, Putin directly ridiculed it as "Powell's washing powder."
Chen Lin’s essay scolded Cao Cao so much that he scolded him from his origin to his character, and turned out all the black materials in his past to criticize him. His words are like knives, and white ones are black ones. , The bad is said to be good. With different positions, Chen Lin is not so fair.
It is said that Cao Cao was bedridden with a headwind. He was half-dead when he saw this article, but he played the role of "fighting poison with poison" and didn't feel any pain in his head.
However, although Chen Lin stood on Yuan Shao's standpoint and scolded Cao Cao to the point where he scolded every word and word to the bone, the things mentioned in the article were once believed to be true in history, such as Cao Cao's robbery. military.
Speaking of this, this is also a common phenomenon in troubled times, not the first thing Cao Cao set up. During the period of the communicative red-browed army in Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, they robbed the tomb of Queen Lu in search of gold and silver treasures.
There were even more in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo slapped the underground palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is said that the nursery rhyme that cursed Dong Zhuo's uncomfortable death, "Thousand Miles, He Qingqing; Ten Days Divination, No Life", the first source came from Emperor Wu's Underground Palace.
and Sun Quan of Soochow also excavated the tombs of the Nanyue Kingdom everywhere in Jiangnan, and also ploughed the tomb of Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, and used the gold and silver treasures to fill the army to feed the army.
Then, whose tomb was Cao Cao's stolen, capable of supporting the army for three years?
Chen Lin made it very clear that the hapless person who was stolen was Liu Wu, Liang Xiaowang of the Western Han Dynasty.
Liu Wu is not an ordinary vassal king. He is the only brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Jing. His mother, Empress Dowager Dou, likes him very much, and even wants the Emperor of Han Jing to pass on to him a hundred years later, and she will reward him with a lot of gold at every turn. Silver treasure.
Liu Wu’s fief Liang Kingdom is in the area of Shangqiu, Henan, and it is a good place carefully selected by the Queen Mother for him. The land is fertile and the economy is developed. The description in the history books is "a land of richness and wealth." In a word, Liu Wu is a rich man in the Han Dynasty.
Later the Han Dynasty broke out in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, Liu Wu firmly stood by his brother's side, defending Liangdu firmly, holding back the pace of the rebellion army, buying precious time for the court to calm the chaos, and making great contributions like Zhou Yafu.
Liu Wu was loved by his mother and elder brother when he had nothing to do. Now he has done a great job and he has given countless rewards. When he went out, under the banner given by his brother, he followed thousands of rides, and he was no smaller than the emperor.
Jingdi remembered his credit, not to blame him for being more polite, and agreed when he wrote to stay in the capital, and allowed him to enter the palace with the same ride, and go hunting in the same car when he left the palace. Empress Dowager Dou moved again to let him inherit the throne, but Jingdi had a son in his own family, and no matter how much he cares for his younger brother, he cannot exceed his son. That is unreasonable.
Under the sway of his mother, even if Liu Wu had no ambitions, he still had it. He recommended Liu Che asThe prince’s minister was so resentful that he secretly sent someone to assassinate him. After the incident failed, the Queen Mother Dou still protected him.
Although Jingdi didn't care about this under his mother's mediation, he was already dissatisfied with him in his heart. One day the Queen Mother Dou dies, Liu Wu may be liquidated. But he later contracted fever and died before the Queen Mother Dou.
People die as big, and Emperor Jing ordered a thick burial. The Queen Mother Dou was even more grief-stricken, wishing to empty the palace to bury her beloved young son. Liang Guo was rich and rich, and he was rewarded by the emperor and empress dowager. Liu Wu's funerals were countless, and they were ranked in the entire Han Dynasty.
So Cao Cao stole his tomb as if he had made a fortune. According to Chen Lin's description, Cao Cao personally visited the scene and took the soldiers to "break the coffin and naked corpses and plunder the gold treasures."
After eating the sweetness of tomb robbery, Cao Cao set up positions such as Faqiu Zhonglang General and Mojin Lieutenant to lead a full-time tomb robbery. Chen Lin said that where these people went, there were no graves that were not excavated, and the owner of the tomb was exposed, which was extremely shocking.
This is a bit exaggerated. They can't steal every tomb. They must pick and choose the valuable ones. The graves of ordinary people can get nothing from digging.
But this is only the early stage. In the later stage, Cao Cao's site is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more soldiers. Tomb robbery is definitely not enough. After the reunification of the north, we vigorously developed the agricultural economy, implemented farming, and built water conservancy projects to solve the problem of military rations and military expenditures, and the tomb robbery was put aside.
Cao Cao learned a lesson in this matter. Knowing that when he was alive, he robbed a lot of tombs and killed too many people. So before he died, he ordered the construction of "72 suspect graves" to confuse the outside world, in order to prevent others from having them. Learn all the same to plan his grave.
arrived in the hands of his son Cao Pi, and even ordered the promotion of thin burials, opposed to the thick burials that have been hollowed out since the Qin and Han dynasties. Before his death, he repeatedly emphasized that no burial of gold and jade jewelry was allowed, and it also abolished the golden jade that is said to make the body immortal for thousands of years. clothes.
Chen Lin’s accusation against Cao Cao, according to modern archaeological excavations and research, proved to be "framed and framed." When the tomb of Liang Xiao Wang Liu Wu was excavated, it was completely undamaged, and more than 2,000 cultural relics such as carriages and horses, weapons, jade and silk were unearthed.
However, the accusation against Cao Cao of stealing the treasure from the tomb of Cao Cao was found to be false, and there is no way to verify it. Due to the age, it is estimated that it can only be regarded as a mess. Anyway, Cao Cao "puts the name of the Han Dynasty to be a Han thief", and it is possible to put some accounts on him.
