In "The Biography of Chu Qiao", Marquis Dingbei made many military exploits, why did the Emperor of Wei want to kill him?

In fact, the final analysis is that the emperor is afraid of being robbed of his throne.

Dingbeihou won the hearts of the people in Yanbei and was deeply loved by the people. This was the most fatal reason. Emperor Wei believed that Dingbei Hou wanted to become the king and expand his power, so he would definitely not be tolerated. At the same time, Marquis Dingbei of Yanbei also recruited a large number of refugees, trained an army, and at the same time made friends with the leaders of Rouran forces, and won the hearts of the people in Yanbei. This was indeed a good official, but in the eyes of the suspicious Emperor Wei, This is exactly the rhythm of wanting to rebel. If you don’t want to rebel, why are you recruiting so many soldiers and horses, and are you still trying to win people’s hearts? You must be plotting to usurp the throne, and you are going to rebel. The Emperor of Wei even woke up from dreams every night. Seeing that the Marquis of Dingbei was coming to take his life and seize his throne, he took the first step to eliminate the strong roots.

In fact, Dingbei Hou really has no selfish motives at all. He once said that I can refuse him and deal with him, but I will not betray him. But how could the Emperor of Wei, who was suspicious by nature, believe it? He would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one person go. It's so stupid and unethical, no wonder the dynasty will be destroyed in the end.

There are many examples of this kind of wrongful killing of loyal ministers in history. For example, Yuan Chonghuan, a famous anti-Qing general, was by no means inferior to Dingbei Marquis Yan Shicheng. His achievements in guarding the border and resisting foreign invaders were even more indispensable. , the foreign invaders were all afraid of him and did not dare to send troops easily. As soon as he died, the Ming Dynasty was immediately finished. That was really half of the Ming Dynasty. However, such a distinguished and loyal general died unjustly due to the double attack of being framed by treacherous ministers and alienated by traitors. It is really hateful that he was charged with such an unfounded charge as collaborating with the enemy and treason.

There is also the famous Han Xin in history. Han Xin originally followed Xiang Yu's camp, but was not reused and turned to Liu Bang. He was promoted to general by Liu Bang. Han Xin was grateful to Liu Bang for his important role and devoted himself to the court. He led his army to capture Wei, destroy Zhao, capture Yan, defeat Qi, and surrounded and annihilated Xiang Yu in Gaixia. His achievements were unparalleled. Han Xin was successively named King of Qi and King of Chu. He was a highly respected minister and had more power than one person and more than ten thousand people. However, after Liu Bang became emperor, he was jealous of Han Xin, fearing that one day Han Xin would take his throne, so he quickly removed Han Xin from military power and demoted him to the title of Marquis of Huaiyin. In the end, Empress Lu and Xiao He devised a conspiracy to kill Han Xin and annihilate his three clans, in order to save their own power and throne in addition to being a thorn in their side.

There is also the famous reformer Shang Yang. He was indispensable for Qin's growing strength and played an important role in the development of Qin. However, the King of Qin became more and more dissatisfied with him. In the end, he was framed by a traitor for treason and tortured to death.

I just want to say that those emperors are really ignorant. Such a good and famous general was killed by you because of your despicable and shameless thoughts. . But thank you, Emperor! You are really stupid!
