Wei Zijiao does not pursue witchcraft.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the evil Prince Herry Liu was always regarded as a victim and won the sympathy of many people. However, if we put aside cheap sympathy and make a rational analysis of the curse of witchcraft, we will find that many practices of the criminal prince Liu Yi are actually wrong.

First, make enemies with Jiang Chong.

Before the witch disaster, Jiang Chong went to Ganquan Palace with Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. It is said that one day, Liu Yuxin sent an envoy to Ganquan Palace to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the messenger knew nothing about this small land and was driving a carriage on the "Chidao" dedicated to the emperor. The result was caught by Jiang Chong and arrested on the spot.

When Liu Yuxin heard this, he immediately sent someone to plead with Jiang Chong, saying, "I don't care about horses and chariots. I really don't want the emperor to know that I have no discipline at ordinary times. I hope Mr. Jiang will forgive me! "

Jiang Chong ignored, going to play. In this regard, Emperor Wu praised: "As a courtier, it should be like this!"

In this incident, there are two issues worthy of our consideration: First, should Jiang Chong arrest the Prince's emissary? Second, should the Prince intercede with Jiang Chong as an emissary?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty trusted Jiang Chong, and what he valued was that Jiang Chong did not shy away from reporting illegal participation. Therefore, if Jiang turns a blind eye to the illegal behavior of the prince's messenger, he will lose the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the ancients attached importance to hierarchical etiquette, and it was disrespectful to the emperor that the prince's messenger drove the carriage on the imperial road dedicated to the emperor. If Jiang Chong concealed this illegal act for the Prince's envoy, it would be deceiving the king.

As the saying goes, paper cannot wrap fire. Therefore, Jiang Chong not only wanted to arrest the Prince's emissary, but also was the only correct choice at that time. If the prince is wise, he should not only plead with Jiang Chong for the emissary, but also support Jiang Chong in catching the emissary in the spirit of "putting righteousness above family".

But Liu Yuxin tried to hide the emissary from the law and begged Jiang Chong. In doing so, he not only embarrassed Jiang Chong, but also put himself in a passive position, and since then he has forged a deep hatred with Jiang Chong. This is one of the prince's mistakes.

Back to the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was not stable. Dou Taihou arbitrarily expelled or executed the ministers appointed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Dou Shutai demanded too much from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could keep his hair until his wings were full. Although Liu is only a prince with short hair, it is really unwise for him to be an enemy of Jiang Chong, the trusted confidant minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Second, listen to Shi De.

In the witch disaster, Jiang Chong framed the prince because of his "estrangement"-framing the prince as a witch and cursing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yuxin panicked and asked the teacher, Shi De. As a teacher of the prince, Shi De was afraid of being implicated and killed, so he said to the prince, "In the past, Gong Sunhe and his son, two princesses and Wei Heng were all accused of harming people with witchcraft. Now the wizard and the emperor's angel have dug up evidence from the palace. I don't know if it was set by a wizard or if it really exists. I can't explain clearly. You can falsely preach the imperial edict, arrest Jiang Chong and others, and thoroughly investigate their conspiracy. Besides, the emperor is ill and lives in Ganquan Palace. Neither the queen nor the people you sent to inquire about him have been able to see him. Whether the emperor is still alive is unknown, but treacherous court officials dare to do so. Have you forgotten about Fu Su, the king of Qin? "

The prince said, "I have a son, how can I kill my minister without authorization! It is better to go to Ganquan Palace to apologize, and maybe you will be lucky. " The prince intended to go to Ganquan Palace in person, but Jiang Chong caught the prince's business and was very anxious. The prince couldn't think of any other way, so he acted according to Shide's plan, sent public servants to pretend to be the angel of the emperor, and arrested Jiang Chong and others.

The prince listened to Shi De's words, sent a doorman to pretend to be the emperor's messenger, and arrested Jiang Chong and others. This was his second mistake. At that time, although it was urgent for Jiang Chong and others to persecute the prince, they did not dare to kill him without authorization. The reason why he persecuted the prince was that he hoped the prince could resist. The prince failed to weigh the pros and cons, and actually arrested Jiang Chong and others, thus easily jumping into the pit dug by Jiang Chong and others, and the rebellion embarked on the road of extinction.

Third, I am in a dilemma.

Before rebelling against Liu, the criminal prince did something wrong and informed his mother and son-in-law.

According to historical records, before the prince rose up to revolt, he sent attendants to take Jeff into Changqiumen of Weiyang Palace by night, reported everything to Wei Ruyun Zifu by relying on the imperial female officer of China, and then sent a horse-drawn carriage to carry the shooter, opened the armory to take out the weapons, and sent guards of Changle Palace.
