Zhao Jia's ancestors were Zhao people, his eldest father moved to Xianyang, and Han Xing moved to Yunzhong.

His father, Zhao Yu, served Wei Shang.Shang is the guard in the cloud, Yu is the meritorious Cao, and everyone in the mansion is called brave.Emperor Jing followed Shangzheng and died in war.

Jia is intelligent, studious and courageous.

In the second year of Emperor Jing, the Xiongnu repeatedly violated the frontier borders. Jia led the villagers to attack the Huns and killed many captives.If you hear about it, praise it, reward you with a hundred gold, and recruit a man of honor.At the end of Emperor Jing, he made up for the lieutenant of Shaling County with meritorious service, joined the army, and won the head of the Xubu clan.

Emperor Jing died, Emperor Wu was established, and Jiayi county captain was promoted to infantry captain.

In the second year of Jianyuan, the Xiongnu invaded Yanmen, sent out the five camps, and set up Mayi Siege.From Jia to Mayi, he led three thousand horsemen to attack the Xiongnu and beheaded two thousand captives.Great victory in the battle, Jiajue Shaoshang made...

The above record comes from the biography of Xun Li in Shi Ji.

The article records in detail the life of Zhao Jia, Marquis of Shaling, focusing on his many expeditions, including attacking the Xiongnu in the north, going to Baiyue in the south, conquering Anran in Daxia in the west, defeating powerful enemies for the dynasty, and opening up territories.

Later generations study this period of history, often juxtaposing Zhao Jia with Wei Yue, Li Danghu, Cao Shi, and Han Yan, and praise his achievements.

In addition to military exploits, the article also affirmed Zhao Jia's political ability.

The main reason is that during his tenure as the Tainong Order, he promoted talents and promoted talents, and implemented Jialing, which made the country's grain harvest abundant, commerce and trade prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.The extent of the treasury's abundance is beyond description.

All kinds of historical materials support it. During Zhao Jia's tenure, the treasury of the Han Dynasty and the private treasury of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were very rich.

Financially rich, he is naturally full of confidence in foreign wars.

Every time the imperial court conscripts, the young and strong are very enthusiastic, and the return to the Hu tribe is even more sharp.In the Battle of Anxi, the number of auxiliary soldiers was five times that of the main soldiers. Most of them prepared their own horses, weapons and dry food, and they could go to the battlefield by squeezing into the list.

After the great victory, the imperial court posted a notice promising to the people who were willing to relocate that they would go to the new county with the army, and all men and women would be granted a hundred acres of land and be exempted from taxes for three years.

Similar records can be seen everywhere in Han history.Especially the history books of the Han and Wu Dynasties appear every few years.It shows how big the territory opened up during this period is.

At the end of the article, Tai Shigong once again affirmed Zhao Jia and praised him as a minister of the community.

Such a biography of officials is not so surprising.

In the Han Dynasty, the stars were shining, the civil and martial arts gathered together, and the officials who were named marquis by military exploits all had their own merits.It is true that Zhao Jia has brilliant military exploits and extraordinary political ability, but among a group of shining stars, he may not be the most shining one.

The strange thing is that when historians of later generations study the history of the Han and Wu Dynasties, they will always single him out, rack their brains, search historical materials, and spend decades to figure out a mystery: whether this article is true , whether it has been manually deleted or modified.

At first glance, the question is simply ridiculous.

Tai Shiling personally experienced the prosperous times, and the original history books written by him are now in the National Museum.Because of its authenticity and reliability, Western Asia, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and even India and other countries and regions will use it as a reference when studying history.

There is no problem with the other pages, so why only say that Zhao Jia's biography is false?

The cause of everything stems from a rescue excavation of the tomb of Sima Qian, Tai Shiling.

During the excavation, scholars discovered that, except for a few utensils symbolizing status, all of the tombs were bamboo slips and slips written by Taishi Ling during his lifetime.One of them is "Zhao Jia Biography" that sparked this controversy.

Most of the content of the article is the same as the collection.

What caused the controversy was interspersed with a section about Zhao Jia's harsh personality and strict laws.

According to this text, Zhao Jia pioneered the punishment of "Ling Chi", which is not to avoid relatives and nobles in accordance with the law, and the clan and royal family are also afraid.

He was very friendly with Zhidu, Ning Cheng, Zhang Tang, etc. When Zhidu passed away, Zhao Jia went to worship in person.Zhang Tang was convicted, and Zhao Jiadang said bluntly that he would send the person who made the false accusation to prison for a retrial.

Zhidu is known as Goshawk, and Liehou's clan looked sideways at him, which is a model of cruel officials in the early Han Dynasty.Ning Cheng's methods are extraordinary, making the clan's powerful and fearful, and it is also a standard template for the world of cruel officials.Zhang Tang and Zhao Yu compiled laws, which are typical representatives of strict law enforcement.

With these three people on good terms, and the originator of "Thousands of Cuts", saying that Zhao Jia has nothing to do with cruel officials is really a bit untenable.

Comparing the collection of historical books and the funerary bamboo slips, scholars are one head and two big, and no one dares to draw conclusions easily.

To say that the original is true, Zhao Jia is a follower of officials; taking the bamboo slips in the tomb as the standard, Zhao Jia has infinitely deviated from the cruel officials.

It is really inconclusive, so we can only continue the debate in the historical circles while putting the unearthed bamboo slips and original historical books together. The truth is for the viewers to judge for themselves.
