Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fight to the death with this commoner who had no official position and no position, insisting on killing him quickly?

It all started in 127 BC. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a talented emperor. He used Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to defeat the powerful Xiongnu. It can be said that he played the role of the Han family's son with confidence and domineering. His historical influence is self-evident. But what makes people confused is why the emperor who was afraid of the Huns wanted to fight to the end with a common man named Guo Jie?

Guo Jie did not come from a wealthy family, or even a rich man. If we want to trace the origin, we can only say that he is the grandson of Xu Negative, the famous prime minister in the Qin and Han Dynasties. But by Guo Jie's generation, it already belonged to the common people. So, how did Guo Jie with this identity harass Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

It all started in 127 BC. This year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the transfer of dignitaries from all over the country to other places. The standard is that the family has 3 million yuan. Guo Jie failed to meet this standard, but was placed on the immigration list by local officials.

So the first strange thing happened. Guo Jie entered the immigration list, but no one dared to operate it. It turns out that Guo Jie is a famous local "Xia Ke". He has been fighting since he was a child. Because of luck, he was pardoned. Guo Jie gathered a group of domineering tyrants, and even local officials were afraid of him.

This is why the authorities put him on the immigration list, but no one dared to operate. But here's the problem. Being on the government list means it must be enforced. If Guo Jie wants to stay, he must obtain the consent of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

So the second strange thing happened. General Wei Qing went to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to plead for Guo Jie, saying that Guo Jie did not have the conditions to move. Wei Qing's words made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty alert, because this was really abnormal. An ordinary citizen can even arouse the pity of General Wei Qing. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty paid attention to Guo Jie and ordered him to be executed. Regardless of whether you are qualified or not, he has to move!

The first question: If the local government did not dare to fight against Guo Jie because of his strength, then how did Guo Jie alarm Wei Qing? In other words, what is the relationship between Guo Jie and Wei Qing?

According to historical records, there are no clues. However, in the ancient hierarchical social system, the occurrence of this kind of thing can only prove that Guo Jie's power has extended to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it cannot even be ruled out that Wei Qing is Guo Jie's real backstage.

But unexpectedly, Guo Jie's nephew ignored the death order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and actually killed the son of the county magistrate who proposed to move. A family from the county came to Chang'an to complain. They were killed by Guo Jie's men in front of the Forbidden City. The nature of the matter has changed? This is tantamount to an open protest against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In this way, Guo Jie became a fugitive.

But what happened next shocked Han Wudi. Although Guo Jie became a fugitive, he escaped all the way and enjoyed the treatment of being worshiped. Some officials even chose to commit suicide to cover Guo Jie's escape!

The second question is: Why is Guo Jie so charming that he even committed suicide to cover up his whereabouts during the escape?

The answer given in historical data is that many people admired Guo Jie's behavior, so they took care of him all the way. But the author does not believe this explanation. When I contacted Wei Qing to pray for Guo Jie, the answer was actually very obvious. People don't respect Guo Jie, but they respect Wei Qing.

Because Wei Qing was not only a general, but also a relative of the emperor. His sister was the queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, it is precisely because of Wei Qing's plea that Guo Jie becomes different. Of course, fear of revenge from Guo Jie's forces is also a reason. But the only "theory of reverence" is really not worth mentioning.

Faced with such a situation, how could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty keep his feet on the ground? Therefore, as long as Guo Jie is on the land of the Han Dynasty, he is destined to be captured. Sure enough, Guo Jie was arrested. Something that shocked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty happened again.

The officials who tried Guo Jie's case even excused Guo Jie by saying that he didn't know many things at all and that he was innocent because his people did this. At the critical moment, Gongsun Hong said: "How can we be innocent?" Guo Jie is a common man, but he deliberately disrupts the laws of the country. Although he did not know it, it was his greatest crime and deserved the death penalty for treason. ?

Guo Jie was finally punished.

However, the impact of this incident was extreme
