Why did Aimee starve to death Deng Tong, the favorite of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty?

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty is a wise emperor recorded in history, and the "rule of cultural scene" initiated by him is the prosperous time of the whole Han Dynasty. Wendi Deng is diligent and loves the people. He doesn't even want to throw away a worn-out dress, but his love for Toy Boy and Deng Tong is beyond measure. The money spent on Deng Tong is hard to count. They not only go in and out, but also sleep in the same bed at night. Thanks to Deng Wendi's support, Deng Tong was rich in the world for a long time, but in the end he starved to death.

Deng Tong came from humble origins and later became a sailor. A native of Shu County in the Western Han Dynasty, his father Deng Xiansheng was born in the early years of Liu Bang's founding, and he avoided war at the end of Qin Dynasty. He has a well-off family and studied for several years. After Deng Xian gave birth to three daughters in succession, his wife finally gave birth to a son, which was naturally regarded as the apple of her eye. Because the official road from Nanyang County in the north of the village to runan county has only been built for more than ten years, Deng Xianfang, who has lived for half his life, saw that the post was riding fast and the four sides met, so he named his son Tong. When Deng Tong was a child, he spent more time playing, fishing and catching shrimps among the aquatic plants in the depths of the South River, in addition to going to the official road in the north of the village to see horses and chariots. At the age of weak crown, I haven't seen much improvement in my studies, but I have developed a good skill of drawing water and propping up boats. Because Deng Tong is good at rowing and rowing, he was chosen as a sailor in the palace, that is, the boatman Huang Toulang in the palace. The so-called Huang Toulang is a Langguan wearing a yellow cloth on his head. Because of superstition at that time, paying attention to the five elements of soil can control water, so the Langguan who rocked the boat wore yellow cloth on his head. One night, Wendi had a dream that he was climbing to the sky, but he tried his best. Although it is close to the worse gate, I still can't climb it. Just then, a man in a yellow hat pushed him behind his back and finally let him ascend to heaven. He looked back at his cart and found his belt tied at the back. Wendi Deng tried to stop him, but he was awakened by a crow.

Because Deng Tong's Deng Wendi dream was once rich. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty had such a dream of heaven. After waking up, he went to the palace to visit the platform. He remembered the scene in his dream, so he secretly observed to see if any of the royal sailors were wearing the same sailors as in his dream. As a result, I saw a yellow-headed wolf rowing a boat to the palace, much like the yellow-headed wolf who pushed himself to heaven in my dream. I am calling to ask a question. The yellow wolf's surname is Deng, and he immediately realized that ""is in harmony with heaven, so he decided that it was a noble person who helped me to heaven and liked him very much. Deng Wendi thinks this is his luck, plus Deng Tong is a down-to-earth lowlife, honest and low-key, and doesn't like diplomacy. Even Wendi asked him to rest and allowed him to go out, so he wouldn't go out. Therefore, Wendi Deng made Deng Tong a doctor and gave him a lot of wealth.

In order to give full play to Deng Tong's strengths and let Deng Tong make a difference, Emperor Wen of Han one day asked a handsome man to tell Deng Tong's fortune to prove his judgment was correct. -Deng Tong is a "rich man" However, in the face of Deng Tong, who is already rich and prudent, this face does not conform to the idea of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, but reveals Deng Tong's assertion that "poverty means starvation". Wendi Deng disagreed. In order to refute the fortune teller's judgment and prove his eyesight and strength, Wendi wanted Deng Tongfu to enrich himself to show the fortune teller's ugliness. As a result, one of the fifteen counties directly under the central government of the Western Han Dynasty was ceded to Tongshan County, Yandao County in the southwest, making an exception and allowing it to enjoy the same privileges as other princes with the same surname and make coins on its own. At the same time, he said, "I am the one who can make a fortune." How can I be poor? " Deng Tong, a man, is also very competitive. Through his honest duty, honesty and trustworthiness, he is widely loved by the public.

I feel that the prince thanked the aphtha, but offended the prince. Medical care in the Western Han Dynasty was still very backward. Today's seemingly simple toxic sore, there was no radical cure at that time, and it often killed people. Emperor Wen of Han unfortunately got this disease. At that time, the best treatment method was to suck out the purulent blood at the swollen and ulcerated place, which on the one hand could relieve the pain of the affected area, and on the other hand could also suck out the toxic blood for treatment. Therefore, Deng Tong often sucks pus from the affected area for Deng Wendi. However, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty with the highest power, what he saw every day was Deng Tong sucking pus for him. Although the sore has healed, he is not happy. So he asked Deng Tong, "Who loves me the most in this world?" How can honest Deng Tong count on it? He immediately replied that no one can match the prince's love for you. Of course, Wendi listened in his ears and kept it in his heart. One day, the prince came to visit his father's illness. Wendi immediately said that if you can suck pus for me, my illness will get better faster. The prince was in a dilemma and hesitated to give Wendi some pus and blood. His face looked disgusting and uncomfortable.

When he came back, the prince was ashamed to hear the story that Deng Tong often sucked pus for his father. After the shame, he began to resent Deng Tong, saying that it's not your boy who is so disgusting. Where does my father want me to suck his dick? This change is equivalent to Deng Tong offending the prince.

Later, the prince heard that Jing often sucked pus from Wendi, and the prince began to hate it from the heart. After the death of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, the Prince was made emperor, which was later Han Jing. Jingdi hated Deng Tong's embarrassment and humiliation, so as soon as he ascended the throne, he removed Deng Tong's official position, canceled Deng Tong's privilege of making money and let him live at home. Deng Tong felt that living at home was unprofitable and boring, so he had some new ideas. Soon, it was reported that Deng Tong had secretly left the country and minted coins privately. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent officials to find Deng Tong to inquire and verify, and it happened. Deng Tong was immediately arrested, all his property was confiscated and turned over to the state treasury, and Deng Tong was fined tens of thousands of yuan, which made Deng Tong bear huge debts. Princess royal often recited Deng Tong's loyalty to his father Wendi and wrote down what Wendi said to him face to face, so he gave Deng Tong some money and things. Some local plainclothes officials in charge of Deng Tong immediately confiscated them all to pay off their debts, and even Deng Tong's slightly valuable hairpins were taken away. The royal princess had no choice but to lend Deng Tong some clothes and food to meet some basic needs of Deng Tong. Finally, Deng Tong starved to death. He died without a coin.

Why do Liu Yuxi and Qi hate each other so much? Deng Tong, a legendary figure in Han Dynasty, is very famous in the ancient history of happiness, and is regarded as a shameless example by many essayists today. In fact, it is unfair, because he is just a humble victim under the imperial power. He sucked carbuncle sores for the emperor. At that time, it was not only a last resort, but also a sincere means to repay debts. He comes from a poor family, but he is a rower. How does he know what integrity is? The emperor is good to him, and he is good to the emperor. His idea is simple, and there is nothing to blame in reason. The emperor asked him who loved him the most in the world, and he replied that it was a prince, which was also a simple idea. As for offending the prince, it was not his intention. If he had been far-sighted, he might not have answered like that, and it would not have been so painful.

Generally speaking, although Deng Tong is very sad, it is not without condemnation. Why do literati, including Prime Minister Shentu Jia, hate Deng Tong? Why did Historical Records and Hanshu write him as A Biography of Happiness? Because he broke the rules between the literati and the emperor.

As a high-ranking official with 2000 stones, Deng Tong was jubilant when he was promoted and moved, but he was not ashamed to suck pus for the emperor, which was certainly unacceptable to orthodox scholars. This is a complete degradation of dignity and status. Such a large number of people is obviously a sign of danger, and the whole literati class is in danger of becoming a real slave of the emperor. Similarly, Liu Qi, as the Crown Prince, only needs to perform his duties well. If he is forced to suck pus for his father, how can he not hate Deng Tong?
