During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the army was reckless and fought for many years, which led to the prevalence of martial arts among the people, which gave birth to a large number of so-called heroes in the rivers and lakes. The so-called heroes of the Han Dynasty were not the chivalrous heroes of Jin Yong's pen, robbing the rich and helping the poor, but the people who were rough and strong, bullied others with force, violated the prohibition with force, and violated the law. Zhu Anshi is one of the more famous.
Zhu Anshi is a native of Yangling, Shaanxi, who has loved martial arts since he was a child and has developed a strong body. No one within a hundred miles can beat him, and gradually a group of blind streamers who have nothing to do and like to get something for nothing have gathered around him. This group of people often travels together, rampant in the countryside, and eats the common people. When the people in the market saw them, they fled in all directions like hungry wolves. Those who dare to speak up will be scarred by the beating, and those who will be disabled or die in the worst cases.
The unbearable people sued the government, and the government also maliciously shielded them, and they had long been intimidated by Zhu Anshi and did not dare to speak up. In all industries in Yangling, there is the shadow of Zhu Anshi Group, they collect protection fees, lend usury, monopolize the profiteering industry, and gradually the reputation of Zhu Anshi, the hero of Yangling, is getting bigger and bigger.
After a long time, Zhu Anshi was not satisfied with lying dormant in the small county of Yangling, he set his eyes on Sima Qian, the red man next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When Sima Qian went to Yangling to inspect customs, Zhu Anshi received him warmly, and the two talked happily, Sima Qian liked such heroic people, but also criticized his evil deeds.
Although Zhu Anshi is rough, he is very scheming. He listened to Sima Qian's advice, and after that, changed his team's style of doing things. Begin to do good deeds and clear yourself.
When Sima Qian heard the news, he was very satisfied, and he gradually got closer to Zhu Anshi. Zhu Anshi also took this opportunity to make friends with many powerful people, and used bribery, extortion, and threats to weave a nationwide network of interests. In the process, I also learned many court secrets.
The fame of Yangling hero Zhu Anshi is getting bigger and bigger, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has heard of this person, he didn't expect that under his wise leadership, there are still such evil people, and he asked his subordinate Jiang Chong to investigate the matter.
Jiang Chong is a cool official, after collecting Zhu Anshi's evidence, he ordered the whole country to want him, but to his surprise, he was cunning rabbit three holes, and Zhu Anshi was not caught for several years. Jiang Chong felt that he had lost face in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he was very anxious.
At this time, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, was imprisoned for being arrogant and misappropriating military funds without authorization. Jiang Chong readily agreed to him.
Gongsun He is Zhu Anshi's biggest backer, so he easily caught Zhu Anshi. After Zhu Anshi was imprisoned, he knew that his crime would definitely not be able to escape, so he found Sima Qian and said to him: "Can you help me say good things in front of the emperor, I am willing to make meritorious contributions and report the evil deeds of the Gongsun family." ”
Sima Qian reported Zhu Anshi's words to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who sent Jiang Chong to investigate the matter.
Jiang Chong, who was eager for meritorious service, came to see Zhu Anshi, and Zhu Anshi told him: "1. Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, and Princess Yangshi, the daughter of Emperor Wu, have an adulterous affair. 2. Many ministers in the imperial court have their own industries in the private sector through illegal means. 3. Gongsun He and many of them conspired to kill Emperor Wu, and buried wooden people on the special road of Emperor Wu to curse him to die early.
Jiang Chong was frightened and excited after hearing this, and hurriedly reported the matter to Emperor Wu, who made him fully responsible.
And Zhu Anshi did not escape the trial of the law in the end, for this Yangling hero, who was full of evil and knew the secrets of the court, Emperor Wu of Han had no reason to let him go, and he was executed in prison soon after.
And after Sima Qian learned about this, he expressed deep disdain for Emperor Wu of Han's approach!
