In recent years, people in lishi district, fangshan county and Liulin counties of Lvliang (these three counties were called Shizhou in ancient times) have been rumored that the emperor gave Yu Chenglong a golden head after his death. The author believes that this statement is sheer nonsense and completely misleading and confusing historical facts.
According to the author's textual research, the statement of the tomb owner's golden head is true, but the owner of this golden head is not, but was framed by traitors in Sichuan during the Ming Dynasty, robbed and killed by the bandit leader pockmarked Liao, and cut off Gao Chongxi, the right deputy governor of Douchayuan and the governor of Sichuan.
Gao Chongxi is from Shizhou, Shanxi. In the first year of Qinglong (AD 1567), it was changed to Yongning County. Hongzhi Geng Xu, a scholar in Ming Dynasty, was the right deputy of Sichuan Minister, Governor and Duchayuan. In Nanshan Lingquan Temple, Mengmen Town, Liulin County, there is now a huge stone tablet, which is more than ten feet high and several feet wide. The inscription was written by it, and it was also recorded in the annals of Yongning Prefecture of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty.
In the early years of Zheng Dechu (A.D. 1506), Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of Wuzong, first boarded Dabao. He was ignorant and behaved strangely. A group of ordinary people gathered around him, indulging in fireworks and Liuxiang all day, treating North Korea's affairs as a child's play, and the people lived in dire straits. Liu Liu and Liu Qi in Baxian County, Hebei Province, and Wu Lan in Sichuan Province led the uprising, attacked the city and plundered the land, and the fighters galloped through several provinces, repeatedly defeated the loyalists, shocked the ruling and opposition parties, and greatly shook the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
In the sixth year of Zheng De (A.D. 15 1 1), in the first month, the Songpan resistance army in Sichuan burned, killed and looted everywhere, with a huge momentum. The Ming army commanded Hu Ning to be captured, and thousands of Shi Kuan were killed in Huangtupo Mountain. General system in Hong Zhong: Please invite Gao Chongxi, deputy governor of Douchayuan, consultant of Sichuan Province, military affairs and governor of Songpan.
In February, Emperor Wuzong issued a letter: Gao Chongxi, the right deputy governor of Douchayuan and the minister in charge of Sichuan, said: "Today, I will be the governor of Sichuan, and I will also take charge of Songpan, Anmian and Jianchang to help Anbing people, and the Prime Minister will pay for repairing the city equipment and training horses. Now the remnant thieves in Baoning and Jiangjin are reunited. On the one hand, I suppressed Lan's fifth-class figurehead with Yang Lianchang, and on the other hand, I suppressed Jiangjin's strong thieves with the company commander ... As a minister of Fengxian, I was entrusted by this, and I must do my best to make the place mighty and peaceful to solve my worries in the West. Don't follow the trend to deal with the profile, since. I just respect it. Therefore, "(Guangxu Yongning State Records (Volume 25))
In May, Gao Chongxi was ordered to move the capital to Bozhou (now Zunyi City, Guizhou Province) to calm people's hearts and prepare for the war to suppress the enemy of the rebellion.
In October, more than 4,000 rebels crossed Manaoguan from Shiqian, Guizhou (now Shiqian County) and re-entered Qijiang County, Sichuan. Yun Liu, hundreds of loyal ministers and righteous officer Cao Teng were all killed, and Gao Chongxi rushed to encirclement and suppression.
In the seventh year of Zheng De (A.D. 15 12), Gao Chongxi led his troops through several bitter battles. Although Lan Tingrui, Yan Benshu and other anti-armies in Shu were wiped out, Hanzhong pockmarked Liao and Yu Sifeng rushed into Shu again and merged with Neijiang Luo from time to time, but there were only a few thousand people in time, but there were more than 100 thousand in time. They are everywhere.
In July of the eighth year of Zheng De (A.D. 15 13), Gao Chongxi and General Manager Peng Ze took Miao soldiers as the main force to attack the camps in Maziliang and Luosong townships in Neijiang. Except for pockmarked Liao, the other leaders were either captured alive or beheaded, and a large number of enemy troops were annihilated.
In the early spring of the ninth year of Zheng De (A.D. 15 14), the government troops negotiated peace and Yu Sifeng and other insurgents moved to Hanzhong. Gao Chongxi asked for a class teacher. Before the emperor ordered, pockmarked Liao and Luo, who were hiding in Neijiang, revived and began to rebel again.
In May, Gao Chongxi considered the reasons such as years of fighting, soldiers being tired of fighting, and lack of food and grass, and analyzed that most of the enemies who were desperate belonged to the local poor. They fled to the enemy because of their livelihood, and they had the conditions to be wooed, so they had the idea of wooing and sent people to surrender. Enemy leaders, such as pockmarked face Liao, also agreed to woo. Gao Chongxi spared the emperor in this important situation, saying that he could appease the enemy of Bozhou Pockmarked Liao He and make him make meritorious deeds to atone. Emperor Wu Zong must fight. Therefore, Gao Chongxi began to plan the matter of Zhao 'an, preparing to draw out the territory of Kaixian County, move out the aborigines, and let Zhao 'an people farm and live. Ma Hao, the agreement, objected, saying that the county was in the throat, reaching Chongqing, Xuzhou and even Huguang, and the land was fertile, so we should not neglect the enemy's situation and leave future trouble. Gao Chongxi refused, and sent an emissary, Sharla Cheung, to deal with it and put them in Linjiang area. After being ordered to arrive in Xinyu, pockmarked Liao, who was stirred up by people, and other anti-army leaders thought it was Gao Chongxi's plan to seduce him, so they captured him alive, slaughtered hundreds of people accompanying them and launched a rebellion. After hearing the news, the admonisher in the palace far away from the battlefield in Sichuan did not know the truth, accused Gao Chongxi of being a bandit and impeached him. The fatuous Wu Zongxiang believed the lie of the admonisher and ordered Gao Chongxi to be arrested in Beijing. When Gao Chongxi's motorcade was escorted to Zhengding County, Hebei Province, it was caught up by the Qingqi sent by thief pockmarked Liao, and all the officers and men escorted were killed. Although Gao Chongxi was good at martial arts, he was hacked to death with a knife because he was trapped in a wooden cage van. The gangster cut off Gao Chongxi's head in order to go back to find a job.
In the tenth year of Zheng De (A.D. 15 15), in August, after learning the truth of Gao Chongxi's wrongful death, Emperor Wuzong personally wrote a eulogy for a generation of Zhong Chongxi: "Heaven carries wealth, and the emperor makes it. People and ministers are loyal to their duties, and the court is loyal to repaying kindness. This matter is conclusive, but remember its previous work. Therefore, Gao Chongxi, an imperial envoy of Douchayuan, has great knowledge and solemn nature. Once he is appointed as the first, he will be inspected and sealed, and he will be encouraged to work in the government. This shook the military discipline, and the two princes separated, and the political officials announced enlightenment, which made Shukou restless and led to Wang Shi's opinion. From the discussion, sincere propaganda, the demonstration of the national code, the opportunity to boost morale, the retreat of the crowd, the praise of it, the three victories and the benefit of the wind. I like my pet very much, and I don't care about repeated praise. Lu is the gift of two products, and I am sincere to others and try my best to protect the people, so I don't want to be the soul in the kettle. There is a change in the middle, although it is difficult to come back to life, but the work has not fully recovered. So his name is Bei Gui, and he died in the middle. He's really sad. When he gave wine, he did not comfort Jiuquan's pain, but pursued its past merits. Si Nuo is a deep grievance. He gave a crown and an everlasting legacy to Yin and the three people at the previous level. Erling is here, and Shang Kachin is here. " ("Fenzhou Prefecture Records", Volume 8) presented in Gao Chongxi, the imperial capital). After reading this eulogy, we can know that after Gao Chongxi was killed, Wu Zong spoke highly of Gao Chongxi's life achievements, and posthumously awarded the right capital, giving Lu the second prize, and more than a thousand people in the Royal Guards were born in the shadow (Volume 7 of Fenzhou Prefecture Records).
Zhu Houzhao, Zheng De of Ming Wuzong.
After Gao Chongxi was killed, his son Gao helped to transport the coffin back to his hometown of Shizhou and buried it at the east end of Shaheze Village in the east of the city. Before the burial, that is, in the 11th year of Zheng De (A.D. 15 16), on April 7th, Emperor Wudi sent Wang Mo, Shanxi's military envoy, to pay a special visit to Shizhou. First, it brought another imperial sacrifice to Emperor Wuzong, that is, Gao Chongxi, the right capital of Duchayuan. The eulogy reads: "I am intelligent and knowledgeable, I am a big shot, I have made great achievements in science and discipline, I have been an official fan, and I have outstanding achievements." Went to West Shu, was robbed, and was ordered to come to Rong. Hearing the good news, the thief is angry again, and if something goes wrong, let people talk. Fang Zaishen falsely accused Hu Zilun of failing. It is good to mourn the sudden arrival of the obituary, and it is also appropriate to add a compassionate gift to the sacrifice. Jiuquan is not awkward, but it is acceptable. " (Records of Yongning Prefecture in Guangxu, Volume 25); The second is to bring the golden head given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Gao Chongxi. Unfortunately, it is not recorded in the history books. The reason is probably that it will cause grave robbery in the future, so consider it from the perspective of confidentiality! Gao Jia said: Wu Zong was deeply guilty of Gao Chongxi's murder, so he wrote a memorial book himself. It is normal to give Gao Chongxi a golden head, because, first, Gao Chongxi died for his country and lost his head; Second, the court is not short of that money; Third, it is also Gao Chongxi's confession to the world and future generations. It is said that at the time of burial, in order to prevent grave robbers from digging in the future, more than a dozen coffins were carried out at once at the funeral. In the face of this dazzling funeral appearance, let alone the grave robbers don't know the authenticity of any grave, and even their families probably don't know. Gao Chongxi died in Zheng Dejiu (A.D. 15 14), with a history of more than 500 years. With the passage of time, this little-known history has been completely forgotten, not to mention outsiders, who now live in more than ten places, such as Gaojiata, Mengmen Town, Liulin County, Shangshui West Village, lishi district, Zhuangshang, fangshan county, Pengmen Village, Xixian County, etc.
We can analyze it this way: according to local customs, the deceased can't be buried without a head. What should we do? Rich families can put gold or silver heads instead, and those who have no money can only pinch noodles instead. As a second-class official of the imperial court, Gao Chongxi lost his head by donating money for his country. It is entirely possible that Emperor Wu Zong gave him a golden head. Even if the emperor doesn't give him the golden head, Wang Mo, the Shanxi envoy, will give it to this fellow villager. To say the least, if neither is given, his family will give it to him. Otherwise, it is unreasonable and vulgar.
We can also analyze it this way: according to the records of Fenzhou Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture, there are many officials in Yongning Prefecture since the Ming Dynasty, but only Gao Chongxi died for his country and lost his head. And Yu Chenglong's death is a normal death, even if it is rumored that he died of swallowing gold, it is also a whole corpse. When a whole body is buried with a golden head, isn't that unnecessary? No matter how powerful, powerful and rich people are, they probably won't be so stupid!
The author is a descendant of Gao Chongxi. He and Mr. Gao Qing from Gaojiata Village have been to Shahui many times in the 1990s. It's a pity that our ancestors' graves have long been destroyed, and new houses have been built on them. The original stone tablets, stone statues, stone pillars, stone horses, stone sheep and other ancient cultural relics with permanent commemorative significance have all disappeared, although a few suspected living stone sheep have not been buried. There is a resident named Liu in the village, and there is a stone tablet in the yard, which records Gao Pian, the son of Gao Chongxi. Gao Qing's enthusiastic Mr. Lin got a treasure and later shipped it back to his hometown Gaojiata Village. According to the old people in the village, the cemetery in Gaochongxi is huge and magnificent, which is second to none in the local area.
Nowadays, there are stone statues, sheep, horses, stone lions and stone tablets in Fengshan and Taiyi Park. The cemetery where Gao Gong once lived is already full of high-rise buildings, and there is no past at all.
Gao Chongxi's father, Gao Dai, was the examiner of the imperial examination in Jingtai Bingwu, a magistrate of Guancheng County, Shandong Province, and was given an imperial history. He has five sons: the eldest son, Hui Chong, a righteous official; The second son worships Xi, and the right deputy of Duchayuan is the suggestion; The third son worships the province and Hongzhi is a juren; Four sons worship Qing, a righteous official; The fifth son, Chongming, was a magistrate of a famous government. He had four sons, including AG, a branch scholar of Jiajing Xu Bing, who was a tired official and a soldier of military science. He was assisted by Shandong Inspection Department and Suzhou soldier. The emperor's name was Mr. Meng Men. Because he dared to speak out directly and was selfless, after dealing with the Niu family, Emperor Jiajing heard, "I am afraid to be a direct minister in this world."
