Recently, many people have been talking about the issue of Gao Xianzhi. Many people probably know that Gao Xianzhi died unjustly, and his death indirectly led to the An Lushan Rebellion. So many people have also asked, how did Gao Xianzhi die? More precisely, who killed Gao Xianzhi? Let’s briefly analyze and uncover these issues together.
1. Who killed Gao Xianzhi
Gao Xianzhi was killed by someone sent by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji.
2. Who killed Gao Xianzhi
Gao Xianzhi was killed by eunuch Bian Lingcheng.
3. How did Bian Lingcheng kill Gao Xianzhi
Bian Lingcheng was a eunuch, an official personally dispatched by the emperor to supervise the frontier soldiers. Of course, if the eunuch was a good official, it would be a tragedy. And Gao Xianzhi was such a tragedy, encountering eunuch Bian Lingcheng.
Bian Lingcheng is not only bad, but also greedy. When he arrived in the border areas, he turned to Gao Xianzhi for bribes. However, Gao Xianzhi was someone who grew up on the battlefield and could tolerate such anger, so he refused. But Bian Lingcheng would definitely not let him go, so he slandered Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
Bian Lingcheng wrote a letter to Tang Xuanzong, stating that the ghost of Gao Xianzhi was hiding in Tongguan and delaying the fighter jet. Tang Xuanzong obeyed Bian Lingcheng’s words and ordered Gao Xianzhi to attack, but in the end, as we all know, going out would mean death, and Gao Xianzhi would definitely refuse. Finally, Bian Lingcheng wrote another letter to Tang Xuanzong, saying that Gao Xianzhi violated the ban, engaged in corruption, and had resistance intentions. Tang Xuanzong was furious at that time and directly ordered the execution of Gao Xianzhi.
The famous general Gao Xianzhi died unjustly on the front line like this. Alas for her.
