In fact, it is not difficult for us to understand why these ministers will eventually die miserably. Minister Gu Ming was often the most trusted person of the last emperor. After the death of the old emperor, the new emperor came to power, and the new emperor who just came to power had no right. Who has the right? Minister Gu Ming, this is the task entrusted by the old emperor, and it will be completed no matter what.
Therefore, after the new emperor came to power, he usually first established his prestige and consolidated his political power, so as to slowly regain his rights from Minister Gu Ming. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, so when there is a conflict of interests, any minister who does not minister and affects my rights is an enemy. Therefore, after the new emperor seized power, he directly executed Minister Gu Ming to solve his worries.
However, in the history of China, three ministers who took care of their own lives escaped the fate of being executed. They were Yi Yin in Shang Dynasty, Zhuge Liang in Three Kingdoms Period and Fan Ju in Northern Song Dynasty. Yi Yin saw through Shang Tang's insidious, so he applied in advance to show the cemetery to the old emperor. He wanted to think, but Shang Tang cut off the posterior approach. As for Zhuge Liang, it goes without saying that he is such a clever figure, knowing astronomy above and geography below. Even though Liu Chan doesn't like him, he can only bear it because he really needs such talents. As for Fan Ju, he met a good emperor, and Zhao Kuangyin was a talented person, so Fan Ju had a happy ending.
