Zhang Shizhi was a famous remonstrator in the Western Han Dynasty. He is famous for his fair law enforcement and outspoken protests. Bao Qingtian? People praised him at that time? Explain it as graceful and graceful, and there is no righteousness in the world? Gu Lin, a great genius in Ming Dynasty, also wrote poems praising Zhang Shizhi. Although there are countless wise men in the pavilion, Zhang Shizhi is praised by the world. Therefore, Zhang Shizhi has made great achievements in the construction of legal system, while Zhang Shizhi, a famous minister, has a bumpy road to promotion.
At that time, Emperor Wen was an emperor elected by heroes and a few royal factions. At the beginning of his reign, he was inevitably subject to the hero group. In order to consolidate the imperial power and cultivate his own power, Wendi constantly promoted and reused talents. At first, Zhang Shizhi was just an attendant around Wendi, and he didn't get promoted for ten years. Finally, he went through hardships and became an official, in charge of national justice. So what happened to make Deng Wendi change her view of Zhang Shizhi, make him a blockbuster and become Deng Wendi's right-hand man?

1. After ten years as Lang, he gained the upper hand and sealed Yang (now Nanyang, Henan). In his early years, he lived alone with his second brother Zhong Zhang. Zhong Zhang's family is well-fed and well-off. What is the main basis of the official selection system in Han Dynasty? Procuratorial system? What else can you do as the main body? Choice? Being an official? Choice? It was an important official selection system in the period of Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi. As the name implies, it is to donate money to North Korea as an official. At that time, it was stipulated that families (middle-class families) with family assets of 10 million yuan or more could donate money to Lang.
When Zhang Shizhi grew up, his second brother, Zhang Zhong, donated five million yuan, so he became the attendant of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Qilang is an alternate official, and he needs to pass the exam to become a full member.
However, I have not been promoted after riding Lang for ten years. This is not to say that he is incompetent, but that Zhang Shizhi is honest and unsociable. Naturally, he was not recommended by others, thus losing the opportunity to display his talents.
In the Han dynasty, the salary of riding Lang was not high, and he had to rely on his second brother to support him. Therefore, he felt that his future was bleak and unhappy. He felt that he had wasted his second brother's money and was not taken seriously. He might as well resign and go home.
Yuan Ang, the leader of Zhang Shizhi, told Emperor Wendi that Zhang Shizhi was very talented, and now he was depressed and ready to resign and go home. If such talents are not reused, it is really a loss for the country. At the same time, Yuan Ang asked Emperor Wen of Han to promote Zhang Shizhi as a vassal, who was also a courtier around the emperor, but at a higher level. Emperor Wen of Han adopted Yuan Ang's suggestion and promoted Zhang Shizhi as a worshipper.

Second, Chen said that the way of Qin's death and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty made Wendi biased. After the visit, Wendi summoned Zhang Shizhi, who always attached importance to talents. After some conversation, Wendi Deng was very dissatisfied with Zhang Shizhi's political views. He felt that Zhang Shizhi's views were very general and unrealistic, and asked him to talk about something that could be implemented immediately.
Tell China Emperor Chen that the Qin Dynasty was destined to prosper. Wendi was very satisfied after hearing this. He immediately promoted Zhang Shizhi from a humble servant to a servant, and suddenly rose to level 4, which was the beginning of Zhang Shizhi's reuse.
Don't talk big, say something that is close to real life and can be implemented immediately. ? Historical records? Biography of Zhang Shizhi Feng Tang.
After Zhang Shizhi was promoted to servant shooting, he often followed Emperor Wen. Once he followed Emperor Wen to the forest garden (the royal hunting ground where the emperor hunted). They came to the tiger pen, and Wendi took a pamphlet and even asked Lin Wei, a superior official, a dozen questions about the tiger pen. Lin Wei is all thumbs and has no preparation in advance. As a result, the little official and the husband who took care of the tiger circle came from the next generation.
Zhang Shizhi reminded Emperor Wendi that when selecting talents, we should pay attention to their practical ability and moral quality. How can an assessment officer do it just because he is good at arguing? For example, Jiang Hou Zhou Bo and Dong Yang Hou Zhang Xiangru are loyal ministers. Although they are not good at words, they are loyal to the country and monarch.
Zhang Shizhi also took the death of Qin Wei as an example, pointing out that the Qin Dynasty used unsympathetic eloquence. Most of them are empty talk, without real talent and learning, playing with the law and hiding the world, making Qin Ershi not know his mistakes, which led to Qin Ershi's death. If the miser is promoted just because he has a glib tongue, I'm afraid all the people in the world will conform to this social atmosphere, and then make a fortune by paying lip service, which is very likely to repeat the mistake of Qin's death.
Today, your majesty's argument with the miser has exceeded the limit, fearing the decadence of the world, and arguing without reality. Biography of Zhang Shizhi Feng Tang.
Emperor Wen of Han believed that Zhang Shizhi had a point and adopted his suggestion, instead of promoting the miser. It can be seen that Zhang Shizhi used the disadvantages of Qin to exhort Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.
Later, on the way back to the palace, Wendi asked Zhang Shizhi to accompany him and asked him about the shortcomings of the Qin Dynasty. Zhang Shizhi answered them one by one. Wendi was very satisfied after hearing this. After he returned to the palace, he immediately promoted Zhang Shizhi to the rank of car commander, who was mainly in charge of Sima Gate.
In short, before Emperor Wendi ascended the throne, the country and people experienced long-term civil strife and turmoil, and social and economic depression. In order to change this situation, the rulers of the Han Dynasty need to take the bad politics of the Qin Dynasty as a negative teaching material, put an end to exaggeration, advocate an enlightened and pragmatic work style, and prevent the upper class from being effective. Emperor Wen of Han set an example and set a good atmosphere for the society, that is, this pragmatic spirit gradually restored the social economy in the early Han Dynasty.

Third, integrity surprised Wendi. As the saying goes, it is not easy for a tiger to accompany a gentleman, and it is not easy to do things in the palace. Sima Gate, which is in charge of Zhang Shizhi, is the emperor's special road. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, in order to show respect for the emperor, officials of civil and military affairs had to drive through Sima Gate to enter the palace, then get off at Sima Gate and walk into the palace. Violators will be fined four taels.
Shortly after being promoted to a car order, Chu Jun Qi and his younger brother entered the DPRK in the same car, but they didn't get off at Simamen. The prince violated the palace guard order and committed the crime of disrespect. This matter is not easy to handle, it is hard to say that it has offended powerful people and may even lead to their own death. Zhang Shizhi, however, is not afraid of power. He believes that the law needs everyone to obey, and the son of heaven is no exception. He should not be partial.
The dharma maker, the son of heaven, the world is also * * *. This law is too important to win the trust of the people. Historical records? Biography of Zhang Shizhi Feng Tang.
So Zhang Shizhi immediately caught up with the prince's chariots and horses, detained them and took them away? Disrespect? From Emperor Wen's impeachment of the Prince and his request for handling crimes according to law, there was such a stir that even the emaciated Queen Mother knew that her grandson would be punished. She was in a hurry and asked Wendi about it. Emperor Wen immediately took off his crown and made amends to the Queen Mother Bo, saying that her adopted son was incompetent. The queen mother Bo personally issued an Amnesty order, and the prince and he were able to enter the palace. The Sima Gate incident humiliated Qi and Wen Di.
Chu Jun is the legal heir of Qi, but the favorite son of Queen Dou of Liang, who later became the famous Dou Taihou. Zhang Shizhi really needs courage to offend them.
Visible Zhang Shizhi is different from ordinary people. He is impartial and conscientious. Regardless of whether the offenders are respectable or not, all offenders will be prosecuted. He advocated that the prince should be guilty of the same crime as Shu Ren, so as to safeguard the authority and dignity of the law. Zhang Shizhi's integrity surprised Emperor Wendi, so Emperor Wendi promoted him as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and soon promoted Zhang Shizhi as a corps commander.

Fourth, the theory of burial in Baling is amazing. The emperors in ancient China paid great attention to their own affairs. Before Emperor Wen, the emperor began to build his own mausoleum as soon as he ascended the throne. This mausoleum is very magnificent, but it is often stolen. Emperor Wen was worried about this, fearing that his tomb would be stolen by others a hundred years later.
Emperor Wen has been building Baling since he ascended the throne. Once, I took Wendi and Mrs. Shen to Baling. Wendi said to the ministers. Take the north rock as a hill, draw the old with floc and draw the edge, how can you not be moved! ? Historical records? Biography of Zhang Shizhi Feng Tang.
It means that if the stone from Beishan is used as the outer coffin, then all the gaps will be blocked with chopped ramie and painted with pigment, so that the tomb will not be opened.
After hearing this, the ministers all agreed, but Zhang Shizhi had his own unique opinion. He thought: those who want something, though the South Mountain is still blocked; How can those who want nothing be happy without stones? ? Is that there are attractive gold and silver jewelry in the mausoleum. No matter how reinforced it is, it will inevitably be stolen. Even if the whole Nanshan is sealed up, as long as there is something that people want, it will not help. If there is no treasure in the tomb that makes others greedy, no one will steal it. Historical records? Biography of Zhang Shizhi Feng Tang.
Zhang Shizhi's implication is that if you don't want to be stolen, it is safest to bury it thinly. Emperor Wen of Han felt that what he said was reasonable, so he adopted Zhang Shizhi's suggestion and promoted him to Ting Wei, the highest official in charge of state justice.
According to the investigation of archaeologists, among the many imperial tombs in Shaanxi, only the Baling of Wendi is there. Can't find sealed soil? It can be seen that the admonition had an impact on Emperor Wen.
Han Wendi Baling
On the surface, Zhang Shizhi advocated frugal burial in order to maintain the integrity of the mausoleum, but in fact, there are deep-seated reasons behind thin burial. Before Emperor Wen ascended the throne, the country was in a long-term turbulent political situation, first of all, the battle between the seven heroes of the Warring States, then the cruel merger war of Qin Shihuang to unify the six countries, then the vigorous peasant uprising, and finally the battle between Chu and Han. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it experienced the rebellion of princes with different surnames and the rebellion of Zhu Lu. After the rule of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, the social economy declined. Han xing, after the Qin dynasty, the princes rose together, and the people lost their homework and were hungry and cold. Five thousand stones per meter, people eat people, and more than half of them died. Since the world is established, the people die and hide, and the son of heaven cannot have wine, but must take an ox cart. ? That is, in the early Han dynasty, following the disadvantages of Qin dynasty, the people lost agriculture and caused famine. A stone of rice costs 5000 yuan, and people eat people. More than half of the people died, and even the emperor couldn't find four horses of the same color, so the minister of home affairs had to take an ox cart. Hanshu? Food records
In this case, the most important thing for the Han Dynasty is to learn from the lessons of Qin's death, avoid exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees, and build large-scale projects. The vast mausoleum project wastes the people's money, and the rich funerary objects are all made by plundering the people's fat paste, which will increase the burden on the people and intensify social contradictions.
It can be seen that the thin burial proposed by Zhang Shizhi has far-reaching influence. If the emperor is extravagant and flashy and cannot lead by example, a large number of officials will follow suit. The luxurious life of the upper class is supported by exploiting people's fat and paste. Only by advocating thrift can the emperor overcome pleasure and form a good social atmosphere, thus promoting social and economic development.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Conclusion The reason why Zhang Shizhi can be reused by Chinese emperors depends largely on their like-mindedness, mainly in two aspects.
First, Wendi is a famous thrifty emperor in history. His life is very simple. He wore coarse clothes and didn't change into new ones. What can be described in one sentence? New three years, old three years, sewing and mending for another three years? In order to save cloth, Wendi also asked his favorite concubine not to wear long skirts popular with aristocratic women. Wendi's frugality is related to the growing environment of his family. His mother Bo Xilai is not valued. In addition, after Lv Hou came to power, the princes were killed one after another, which made Wendi develop a cautious, low-key and thrifty character. So when Zhang Shizhi proposed a thin burial, Wendi Deng not only didn't object, but praised Zhang Shizhi's idea.
Secondly, how the dynasty can last for a long time is the most concerned topic of emperors, especially the Chinese Emperor. Among the rulers of the Western Han Dynasty, he paid the most attention to summing up the historical lessons of Qin Ershi's death, such as how to avoid the recurrence of the bad politics of the Qin Dynasty, how to make the mountains and rivers that his father worked so hard to inherit from generation to generation, and how to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty. For Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, these are all urgent problems to be solved. And Zhang Shizhi just helped these leaders solve their doubts, which made Emperor China sit up and take notice.
So Emperor Wen of Han reused Jia Yi, who wrote Qin Theory, and promoted Gao Tan? Wu Qin Han Xing? In the final analysis, Zhang Shizhi is because Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty attached great importance to the study of how the Qin Dynasty perished and how he prevented the recurrence of history. Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, he tried his best to explore the reasons for Qin's death, which ran counter to Qin's tyranny and put the interests of ordinary people first. How can such a dynasty be unpopular?
