King Wuling of Zhao was besieged in the sand dunes for three months. Why didn't a close friend come to save him?

"Wu Ling resents the dunes, and Scott is famous here. Spring comes to the moon alone, and the birds in the Forbidden City are still ashamed. "

Sima Qian commented: "If you are noncommittal, there will be chaos, and even the father and son will die. Wouldn't it hurt to laugh for the world? "

This story is about a generation of King Zhao Wuling of England. The ideological differences led to the brothers killing each other and being besieged and starved to death, which left a tragic negative teaching material for future generations.

First of all, why the sand dunes have changed. Then, let's talk about why there are no cronies to save him.

First, the origin of sand dune changes

Dune, located in Guangzong County, Hebei Province, is a very famous place in history. Two very famous figures in the history of China died here. Of course, the most famous is Qin Shihuang, and the other is King Wuling of Zhao.

King Wuling of Zhao, surnamed Zhao, is of the same clan as Qin Shihuang. King Wuling is a very capable and talented monarch.

King Wuling of Zhao is determined to reform and carry out "Khufu riding and shooting". Among Chinese people who pay great attention to the beauty of fine clothes, he was the first to promote Khufu, making Zhao Junli the dominant country and soon becoming the most powerful country among the vassal states.

King Wuling of Zhao is the monarch who has made the greatest contribution to the territorial expansion of Zhao. Under his leadership, he annexed Zhongshan, defeated Hu Lin in the west, merged Loufan, made Loufan Zhao, and added three counties of Zhongshan, Yanmen and Daishan.

3. In order to resist the invasion of Xiongnu, King Wuling of Zhao began to build the Great Wall of Zhao on the border of Zhao, and opened Li Mu, one of the four famous soldiers in the Warring States Period.

I have to say that King Wuling of Zhao is indeed a talented person who manages the country. But in managing the family, it exposed the weakness of human nature and was a little confused, which led to the later tragedy.

It turned out that King Wuling married the daughter of the Korean monarch after he ascended the throne. Mrs Han gave birth to her eldest son, Zhao Zhang, who was made a prince by the Mausoleum of Wu. It turns out that Zhao Zhang's figure and personality are very similar to those of Ling, and she is deeply loved by Ling. But Mrs. Han died suddenly, and King Wuling got a beautiful woman, Wu Wa. Mrs Wu was very popular with King Wuling and soon gave birth to her son Zhao He. When I grew up, because I loved Wu Wa, I was abolished as a prince and made Zhao a prince. This has laid a hidden danger for the status dispute of Wang Zhao.

In the 28th year of King Wuling of Zhao, King Wuling ceded the throne to Prince Zhao He, calling himself "father", which means Zhao Guojun's father. This is very appropriate. Because king Wuling likes to fight everywhere, in case of death, it is right for the new king to succeed to the throne as soon as possible, which is conducive to the stability of Zhao. The Zen position began to go smoothly, ministers also supported King Huiwen, and the political situation was very stable. However, just after the smooth handover of the throne, Wu Wangling began to make a vague move.

Once in the court, King Wu Ling was watching the ceremony, watching the ministers salute his son, King Huiwen, and asking questions about politics. When he saw the decadent state of his eldest son Zhao Zhang, his heart softened and he began to feel sorry for his son Zhao Zhang. Seeing this eldest son Zhao Zhang, who looks exactly like himself, he realized how much he had hurt his eldest son. With this guilt, he doesn't need to stop.

Therefore, King Wuling sent Qi to assist him and treat him kindly. He often lives and eats with Zhao Zhang, making Zhao Zhang use the same manners as him. At one time, he even wanted to be king, forming a situation in which the two kings of Zhao stood side by side. Of course, it was rejected soon.

Ministers are all geniuses. Presumably, King Wuling intends to abolish Zhao He, the king of Huiwen, and re-establish Zhao Zhang as the king of Zhao. As a result, they began to move closer to Zhao Zhang, which weakened the authority of Zhao He, king of Huiwen. King Wuling of Zhao himself led to the internal division of Zhao, and those who were originally dissatisfied with his father's abolition began to wait for an opportunity to rebel.

Zhao Zhang took advantage of his father's trip to the dunes with King Huiwen to lead his followers to launch an uprising. At that time, King Huiwen and King Wuling lived in two palaces, and Zhao He, King Huiwen, led his generals to attack Zhao Zhang. Gongzi Cheng and general Li Dui, who stayed in the capital Handan, led the army to quell the chaos. They quickly defeated Zhao Zhang and killed Tian Buli. Zhao Zhang fled to the palace of his father's mausoleum, and his father took him in.

Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui led an army to surround the palace where King Wuling lived, and soon captured and killed Zhao Zhang. However, in order to capture Zhao Zhang, Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui besieged the palace where Wu Wangling lived, which was equivalent to besieging Wu Wangling. They were afraid that the powerful and martial king Wuling would liquidate his sins after leaving the palace, leading to genocide, so they decided to continue to attack the city. At the same time, he rushed into the palace and shouted, "Whoever comes out again in the future will be uprooted!"

Hearing this, all the people in the palace fled, leaving only Wu Wangling alone in the palace. King Wuling was trapped in the palace for three months and ate all he could eat. Even the birds and eggs on the tree were taken out by King Wu Ling to eat. Finally, King Wuling, who had no food, starved to death in his palace.

Then why didn't anyone save the trapped king Wuling?

First, Zhao Wang acquiesced in the death of King Wuling.

Zhao Huiwen Wang Zhao Huiwen was safe and sound in the rebellion. Although Zhao He couldn't bear to order the killing of his father and brother, Zhao He hoped his father and brother would die in his heart. Therefore, Zhao He pretended not to know that King Wuling was besieged and starved, but actually acquiesced.

Second, leading the army to save the mausoleum is rebellion.

The other armies of Zhao were also based on Zhao Huiwen, the king of Zhao, and Zhao Yong, the king of Wuling, was only his father at this time. If someone leads an army to attack Zhao, who besieged his father's palace, it is to attack the prince of Zhao, that is, rebellion, and no one wants to bear this charge.

Third, King Zhao and his army are strong.

Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui, who supported King Zhao, brought Handan's elite guards, whose strength should not be underestimated. And the etiquette Fei Yi was killed by Zhao Zhang before the coup, and the person who is most likely to save King Wuling of Zhao died first.

Le Yi, who was stationed in Yuanyang, tried to lead troops to save King Wuling of Zhao privately, but Niu Jian stopped him. Without the command of Zhao Haoqi Huiwen, no one can move a single soldier.

Even if someone is loyal to King Wuling, there is no complete assurance that the troops besieging the palace can be quickly defeated. At this time, if the king of Zhao ordered the troops in other places to be diligent, the person who saved the king of Wuling would only die.

No one came to save him, and all that remained was to collect the body of Wu Wangling and issue an obituary. Gong Zicheng and others entered the palace to collect the body of their father after confirming that King Wuling had starved to death. Huiwen Wang Zhao Hezheng is waiting for Cheng Gongzi to report that Ling starved to death. When he got the news, he cried and ordered the burial of Wu Wangling, which caused national mourning.

A generation of British lords, single-minded and indecisive in family affairs, led to brothers killing each other. Sometimes, it is the best love for children to let nature take its course, seek its own politics, not cross the line and keep its duty.
