Therefore, after the unification of the six countries, Ying Zheng, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, carved eight characters on the imperial seal, which showed the dictatorship and theocracy of the imperial power system in China. It can be said that under the old feudal ethics, it is generally believed that ministers must absolutely obey the monarch and sons must absolutely obey their fathers. "You want to die, I don't die for infidelity; The father told his son to die, and it is unfilial for his son not to die. "
It is under this concept of feudal ethics that countless loyal subjects and heroes lost their lives in vain. For example, Tian Lei, the god of war, was killed by Du You in Xianyang in his later years under the suspicion of Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, which is called "the slaughter of Du You" in history. However, in the history of Qin, besides Tian Lei being sentenced to death, a famous 300,000 soldiers were brutally killed. He is Meng Tian, a general loved by Qin Shihuang.
In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang died during a military parade. As soon as his son Hu Hai came to power, he started killing people. First, he gave his son Fu Su the death penalty, and then imprisoned Meng Tian, who mastered the military power. In the end, Meng Tian was sentenced to death for the crime of sitting together, but Meng Tian, unwilling to die, said two heartfelt words before committing suicide, which became a famous saying throughout the ages. Cao Cao, the treacherous man, is even more admired. Every time he is wronged, he must look at it!
Speaking of Meng Tian, a famous Shaanxi opera player, I think everyone knows more or less through today's film and television dramas. Although Meng Tian is not among the "Four Warring States", it is no less famous than them. Meng Tian was born into a family of famous soldiers for generations. Although his ancestral home was in Qi State, Shandong Province, he abandoned Qi State to take refuge in Qin State as early as his grandfather's time, and became a hero of Qin State and a "supernatant".
My father, Wu Meng, is also a famous soldier of Qin. He once teamed up with Wang Jian, the general of the State of Qin, to defeat the Chu army, slay the famous Xiang Yan, and seize the straw of the king of Chu, completely erasing Chu from history. Influenced by the family environment, Meng Tian was ambitious since childhood, determined to take the lead and serve the country.
In the 26th year of the first emperor (22 1 BC), Meng Tian was made a general by Qin Shihuang, who led Daqin fighters to attack Qi, and was later worshipped as the chief executive of Beijing for his great achievements in breaking Qi.
Meng Tian can be described as "shine on you is better than blue" and became famous in World War I. Because of this, Qin Shihuang appreciated his military talents very much. According to Biography of Historical Records of Meng Tian, "Qin merged with the world, which made Meng Tian drive 300,000 people north to Rongdi and take Henan." After Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, Meng Tian was entrusted with an important task and was ordered to lead 300,000 troops to attack Xiongnu in the north and recover Henan (now Hetao area in Inner Mongolia).
At that time, the Huns had invaded the Central Plains many times. After the unification of the six countries, Qin finally had the energy to deal with the tough Xiongnu. Under the leadership of Meng Tian, 300,000 Qin Jun defeated the Huns and fled, thus recovering the rich Hetao area.
More than ten years later, General Meng Tian guarded the northern border, which made the Huns "afraid to go south to herd horses". Moreover, according to the dangerous terrain in the north, he led the army to build the Great Wall in Wan Li and the straight road in Kyushu, which effectively curbed the Xiongnu's southward advance. At the same time, it has also played a positive role in promoting economic development and cultural exchanges in the northern region.
As an outstanding soldier, Meng Tian was not only a martial artist, but also a minister of the Ministry of War of Daqin Dynasty. Therefore, Qin Shihuang respected Montessori very much, trusted and praised Meng Tian's talent. So Meng Tian's younger brother, Meng Yi, was also favored by Qin Shihuang. When he went out, he accompanied Qin Shihuang in a car.
At that time, the two brothers were praised as "loyal ministers" by the world, Meng Tian was in charge of foreign affairs, and Meng Yi often colluded. Therefore, other generals dare not compete with them. "Biography of Historical Records of Meng Tian" records: "Ren Tian diplomacy, Yi Chang internal affairs, called loyalty, so the general did not dare to compete with it."
As a famous general in the history of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian drove the Huns to the north for the Qin Empire, stretching thousands of miles in Yuzhong, and made great contributions to the border security in the north. However, such a good minister failed to die well, which is really embarrassing!
In the thirty-seventh year of the first emperor (2 10 BC), Ying Zheng, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, died of illness in a sand dune on the way to the inspection, and then the situation in the world changed greatly. The CRRC government made Zhao Gao afraid that Fu Su would reuse Montaigne after he succeeded to the throne, which was not good for him, so he withheld the imperial edict and conspired with Hu Hai to usurp the throne. According to Records of the Historian Biography of Meng Tian, "With ulterior motives, he conspired with Prime Minister Reese and son Hu Hai to make Hu Hai Prince. The prince has been established, so that people can give their sons Fu Su and Meng Tian the death penalty. "
After Zhao Gao let Hu Hai succeed to the throne, the first thing to deal with is to solve the hidden dangers around him. At that time, in Zhao Gao's view, the biggest hidden danger, besides Fu Su, was Meng Tian, a well-armed star.
He made Hu Hai make a decree, fabricated many charges, and sent people to execute Fu Su and Montaigne. Fu Su, his son, is famous for his fortitude and bravery. After hearing that his father doubted himself, he directly swallowed his anger and committed suicide. After Fu Su's death, Meng Tian asked for a retrial, but to his disappointment, "there are too many monarchs and ministers, and the Qing emperor is guilty of one crime, and the law and internal history." In the end, if you want me to die, I have to die. The famous Meng Tian can only commit suicide by swallowing medicine.
But just before he died, Meng Tian, unwilling to be ungrateful, was still explaining. For this reason, before committing suicide, Meng Tian said the last sentence that has been circulated for more than 2,000 years: "From my ancestors to my descendants, I have accumulated virtue and trusted Qin Sanshi." Today, I have more than 300,000 soldiers. Although I am in prison, my potential is twice as great. But those who know death and keep righteousness dare not insult the teachings of their ancestors so as not to forget them. "
My Montessori family fought in Qin for three generations, and now I am in charge of 300 thousand troops. Although I am imprisoned, I am strong enough to betray. But I would rather stick to the festival of righteousness, prove my innocence by death, and live up to the love of my ancestors and the education and glory of my ancestors.
As for Meng Tian's last words, it can be said that the ethics and moral concepts of ancient feudal loyal officials were fully displayed. However, Hu Hai has made up his mind to kill Montaigne, and as a result, Montaigne can only commit suicide by taking poison. Perhaps even Meng Tian himself didn't expect that these two words of loyalty that he cried sadly at the end of his life would be admired by a generation of lean Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period hundreds of years later. Whenever Cao Cao is wronged, he must watch it, and often tears every time he watches it!
It turned out that in the fifteenth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao wanted to unify the whole country after completing the great cause of reunifying the north. However, at this time, he was politically questioned by ministers, attacking him as a "Han thief" and "wanting to abolish Han and stand on his own feet". Cao Cao specially wrote a preface to express his mind.
In Narrating Lingzhi, Cao Cao first introduced his life and achievements, and then emphasized that others suspected that he had the ambition to usurp the throne, which often made him feel uneasy. Later, he cited another example, saying that they still respected Zhou after dominating the world, and so did he. Later, when he wrote that Qin Ershi and Hu Hai were going to poison Meng Tian, Cao Cao was even more moved and said, "Every time I read these two books, I feel sad."
Indeed, Meng Tian's last words can resonate with the treacherous Cao Cao. Cao Cao wept when he saw Meng Tian's last words, because they were in the same situation. Without Meng Tian to build the Great Wall and attack the Huns in the north, the northern territory of the Qin Dynasty would never have peace.
Finally, what we want to say is that two famous words uttered by the famous Meng Tian before his suicide are bound to make people cry. On the one hand, Meng Tian's integrity itself is awe-inspiring, and his integrity and flawless loyalty are moving. On the other hand, it is Cao Cao's respect for this, which actually indirectly reflects Cao Cao's little loyalty to the big fellow. However, this little loyalty may be the reason why Cao Cao never proclaimed himself to death!
