In fact, the ancient emperors, the days are also a bit depressed, because there are not many entertainment projects, except for those faint emperors, most of the emperors can only go to other courtyards to relax in addition to hunting. Although this courtyard is inferior to the palace, those who can go to the palace with the emperor to relax their minds are the concubines who are high-ranking concubines, who are just favored. After all, there are fewer concubines going to the other house, which means spending more time with the emperor, who doesn't like such an opportunity? It is said that once the Han Jing Emperor took his ministers and his concubines to the Royal Palace to relax, and he ran into trouble.
At that time, the emperor's favorite concubine, Li Ji, who was also the mother of the crown prince at that time, was going to the toilet, and a wild boar accidentally rushed into the toilet! The Zizhi Tongjian records:
Taste from into the upper forest, Jia Ji in the toilet, Wild Yan into the toilet. No, not even!
When Emperor Jingdi of Han saw such a situation, he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and this Li Ji was the heart of Emperor Jingdi of Hanjing!
Therefore, Emperor Jing of Han signaled Zhonglang, who was standing next to him, to save Li Ji, and what surprised Emperor Jing was that this Emperor Jing not only did not save Li Ji himself, but also stopped Emperor Jing and did not let Emperor Jing himself save him. Why did Zhi Du make such a choice? In fact, the reason why Xi Du has such a move is mainly because of these several reasons.
First, Kurihime is the superior's family, which is incompatible.
You know, Li Ji is Emperor Jing's favorite, otherwise Emperor Jing would not have taken Li Ji to hang out. Moreover, at that time, this Kurihime was on the toilet when he encountered a surprise attack by the "enemy". So, who knows if Kurihime in the toilet is dressed or not? If you get dressed, it's enough, if you don't have a neat dress, can you still say it clearly when you rush in?
Although it is said that the Han Dynasty's restraint on women was not as strict as that of later generations, but in any case, Li Ji was also the emperor's woman? Even if Emperor Jing would have thanked his courtiers for saving his concubine at that time, in hindsight, would Emperor Jing have been disapproving? In case Emperor Jing of The Emperor was reluctant to prey on his beloved concubine, wouldn't this savior of Zhi Du be miserable?
Second, in Zhi Du's view, the safety of the emperor is naturally more important than the safety of a concubine.
You know, the lethality of wild boars is also not small, what if Emperor Jing rushes in and is injured? What if I don't get it right, get seriously injured or even die? After all, watching a concubine die is nothing to die, and if you watch the emperor get injured or die in front of him, this is a terrible thing! At worst, he was beheaded, and his family was implicated. Under such circumstances, Zhi Du would naturally choose to protect Emperor Jing, not only would he not go himself, but even the emperor could not rush forward.
Of course, the final outcome was good, Andihime, who had a great fortune, was not too hurt, and Zhi Du was naturally not punished. Moreover, after Empress Dowager Dou learned of this matter, she also rewarded Zhi Du with a hundred gold, praising him for knowing that the emperor was the most important. If you look at it from here, You should have a bright future. But things are uncertain! Later, because he offended Empress Dowager Dou, He Du was forced to withdraw from the center of power and became the Taishou of Yanmen County. It can only be said that Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, because the depreciation of Zhi Du was also inseparable from Li Ji and Empress Dou.
In 148 BC, Li Ji's son, Liu Rong, who had been deposed as crown prince, was summoned to the Lieutenant's Mansion for interrogation for his crimes, and it was Zhi Du who was interrogated. Liu Rong was worried that he could not bear the severe torture, so he asked Zhi for paper and ink, ready to take the initiative to confess. As a result, Zhi Du actually refused Liu Rong's request! Moreover, he not only did not give it himself, but also asked the people around him not to provide Liu Rong with paper and ink. Later, Liu Rong, who had a hard time getting things, wrote a letter of thanks to the emperor and chose to commit suicide.
Later, it was learned that Empress Dou in the middle of this section was very angry, and Empress Dou believed that if it were not for Zhi Du being too harsh, her eldest grandson would not be scared to commit suicide, so it was All that was wrong was Zhi Du. Therefore, Empress Dou demanded that the emperor severely punish Zhi Du. However, Emperor Jing, who knew that Liu Rong had made his own mistake, did not treat Zhi Du in this way, but quietly sent him to Yanmen County to be a taishou.
