This person is Li Junxian. There were many names that the ancients did not dare to give, because ancient emperors emphasized the solemn power of the emperor, that is, everything the emperor used must be different from ordinary people, and any name similar to the emperor should not be used. This is a taboo. In addition, names that imply that he is the right one cannot be chosen.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a minister named Li Junxian who was unjustly executed because of his name. There are two main lines in our ancient Chinese history. One main line is the development of autocratic monarchy, and the other is the development of centralization. These are the two most important political features of ancient feudal society in my country. A very important part of the development of monarchy is the exclusive dominance of imperial power. This exclusive imperial power means that all content related to the emperor must be unique and cannot be enjoyed by others.
For example, in terms of the etiquette system, the utensils used, the names of various clothing, etc., just like the emperor claims to be me, what he says is an edict, and the carriages and horses he uses are called Chengyu, the place where he is is called Xingzai, and the place where the emperor lives is called Jinzhong. These have special terms, which can only be used by the emperor. The most taboo thing among them is the name. Anything similar to the emperor's name is not allowed.
Another very obvious historical feature of ancient feudal society is that in order to emphasize the divine right of kings, the imperial power paid great attention to those statements about destiny and birth. Just like the time when Liu Bang wanted to prove the correctness of his uprising, he said that he was the White Snake Uprising, and when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, they used the phrase "Chen Sheng King, Great Chu Xing" is the same thing.
In the Tang Dynasty, a minister named Li Junxian was executed by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty because of such a thing. A popular saying in the Tang Dynasty at that time said that the Tang Dynasty would have King Wu to replace the world. This kind of rumor made Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty suspicious. Li Junxian was originally from Wagangzhai, and later followed Wang Shichong, but the conflict with Wang Shichong was very serious, so he surrendered to Li Yuan and the Tang Dynasty's troops. He was still very brave in fighting and was highly used by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Because Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty asked him to guard Xuanwu Gate, we all know that Xuanwu Gate is a forbidden place in the palace. One time when they were having dinner, their nickname came up, and Li Junxian said that his nickname was Wu Niangzi. Later, Li Shimin thought of the place where he was guarding and his official position, all of which were military, and then he thought of the rumor. , Li Shimin became distant from him. So he demoted his official position. Later, when Li Junxian was the governor of Huazhou, he often stayed with a man who claimed to be able to live without eating and was proficient in Buddhism. He was impeached. This time, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty convicted Li Junxian. Li Junxian's entire family was confiscated.
