Gu Rong Shi Zhi

Gu Rong was born in Jiangnan. He is the grandson of the Three Kingdoms and the son of Gu Mu, the magistrate of Yidu County. When he was young, he was very clever. At the age of twenty, he became an official of the State of Wu, serving as assistant minister of Huangmen and captain of Prince Fuyi. [2]

When he was young, he was as famous as He Xun of Danyang County, He Xun of Huiji County, Xue of Guangling County and Xue of Danyang County, and was also called "Five Handsome". [3]

In the sixth year of Xianning (280), the State of Wu was wiped out in the west and entered Luoyang, the capital city, which was called "Luoyang Three Armies" in history. After he arrived in Beijing, he worshipped the doctor as an official, and later served as a merchant, prince and court. [4]

In the first year of Yongkang (300 years), Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, abolished and killed Jia Nanfeng, the queen of Jinhui Emperor, thus taking control of the state affairs. Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, conquered Sima Lun and died in failure. His subordinates have all paid Ting Wei, and he is going to be killed. Gu Rong handled it fairly, and many people were proved innocent and survived. [6]

In the first year of the founding of the People's Republic (30 1), Sima Lun usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Gu Rong was appointed as the general Sima Qian (son of Sima Lun). [7] In the same year, Sima Tong, King of Qi, and other three kings revolted and destroyed Sima Lun. Sima Tong helped to reset, became a fu, and was in charge of the political power, and was also called a fu. Gu Rong saw that Sima Tang was good at this, and worried that he would be implicated in the downfall of Sima Tang in the future, so he was drunk all day and ignored his business, and told his friend Hanfei Feng about it. Hanfei Feng suggested to Yan Ge, Sima Yi's confidant, that Gu Rong should be the assistant minister of Zhongshu. Gu gave up drinking after being named assistant minister of Zhongshu, but someone asked him why he was "drunk". Gu Rong was afraid of being investigated and had to drink again. [8]

In December of the first year of Tai 'an (302), Sima Yi was defeated and killed in Changsha. Gu Rong was named Jiaxing Bo and became the illegitimate son of the Prince for his meritorious crusade against Ge Yu. When Sima Yi was appointed general of a title of generals in ancient times, Gu Rong was appointed general of a title of generals in ancient times. [9]

In the first year of Yong 'an (304), Sima Ying of Chengdu and Sima Yu of Hejian defeated Sima Yi. Sima Ying was promoted to Prime Minister, and Gu Rong was appointed Prime Minister in Langzhong. In the same year, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, failed to take Hui Di to personally sign Sima Ying, and Hui Di was captured to Yecheng, where Gu Rong waited on him and was sent to the imperial tomb. It was said that Sima Yu's headquarters was in Luoyang, and Gu Rong was not allowed to enter and fled to Chen Liu. In the same year, Hui Di was forced to Chang 'an by Zhang Fangwei, and Gu Rong was recruited as a regular rider. However, when Gu Rong saw the chaos in the Central Plains, he was not killed and returned to Wu. The following year, Sima Yue rose up to welcome Huidi back to Luoyang, appointed Gu Rong as his military adviser, and held a banquet. [ 10]

In the second year of Yongxing (305), Chen Min, the right general, defected in Liyang County, expelling Liu Ji, the secretariat of Yangzhou, and Wang Kuang, the satrap of Danyang County, with the intention of taking advantage of the chaos to separate Jiangdong. In order to get support from all sides, Chen Min treated a group of heroes and celebrities in Jiangdong. Among them, Gu Rong was awarded the title of General You and the literature and history of Danyang County, and more than forty others were also elected as generals and county heads. At first, the gentry in Jiangdong accepted Chen Min's appointment, but after discovering that Chen Min was mediocre, lacked grand strategy and had no criminal policy, they refused to accept it. In addition, Chen Min's indulgence of children is regarded as a curse by local people. Gu Rong and Zhou Gui, the strongmen of the cremation, were never loyal to Chen Min, and they worried that he would get into trouble all day. [ 1 1]

In the first year of Yongjia (307), Gu Rong and others received a letter from Tan Hua, the satrap of Lujiang. In the letter, Tan Hua rebuked them for accepting the position of traitor Chen Min and working for him. It is also said that after the imperial court sent troops to pacify Chen Min in the future, Gu Rong and others were ashamed of the people of the Central Plains. Gu Rong felt very ashamed after reading it, so he decided to report to the Oriental general Liu Zhun and suggested that he send troops to Linjiang as an inside man. Liu Zhun later sent Yangzhou secretariat Liu Ji and others to Liyang County. After Chen Min learned the news, he also sent his younger brother Chen Chang and general Qian Guang to Wujiang River to confront Liu Ji. Zhou Gui's success made Qian Guang betray Chen Min, killed Chen Chang, and led troops to the south of Suzaku Bridge. When Chen Min knew about it, he sent his in-laws Gan Zhuo to lead the troops to pay a lot, but Gu Rong advised Gan Zhuo to betray Chen Min with Zhou Gui. Gan Zhuo always respected Gu Rong and was afraid of Chen Chang's death, so he was determined to submit. The following year, Gu Rong and Zhou Gui, Gan Zhuo and others counterattacked Chen Min, and Chen Min led more than 10,000 people to fight, but Gan Zhuo's soldiers said to Chen Minjun: "The reason for this is that Gu Danyang (Gu Rong) and Zhou Anfeng (Zhou Gui) are listening; Today is different, what are you waiting for! " Successfully shook his morale, Gu Rong came out and waved to Chen Minjun with a white feather fan, and Chen Minjun and his men fled. Chen Min went north alone and was killed on the way. [ 12]

After pacifying Chen Min, Gu Rong returned to his hometown of Wujun. Soon, he was recruited as an assistant by the court and was controlled by Sima Yue. When Gu Rong took a group of scholars north to Pengcheng, Xuzhou, he heard that the situation in the north was getting more and more chaotic, so he hesitated. [ 13][ 14]

When Sima Yue heard the news, he wrote to Xuzhou secretariat Payton, saying that if people delay their trip, they will be escorted by military salute. When Gu Rong and others knew about it, they were very scared. So they abandoned the boat and the car, and Lu Wan fled for three hundred miles day and night, heading back to Yangzhou. [ 13][ 14]

In the first year of Yongjia (307), General Anton and the evil king moved to Jianye (later rebuilt as Kang, now Nanjing, Jiangsu), where they served as the military department of General Anton and sent regular attendants to attract the support of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. In view of Gu Rong's influence among the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, Si Marui always sought his advice when making political plans. As a celebrity in the south of the Yangtze River, Gu Rong has an important position and is respected by the ruling and opposition parties. Gu Rong thought that "there were not enough talents in southern China", so he recommended some unacceptable Jiangnan gentry to Si Marui, such as Lu Ye, Gan Zhuo, Ewing, Yang Yanming, Xie, He Xun, Tao Gong, etc., which Si Marui adopted and awarded one by one. [ 16]

In the sixth year of Yongjia (3 12), Gu Rong died in office, and Si Marui was deeply saddened by his funeral. He is going to the court to apply for a gift for him. Ewing, a historian in Wuxian County, thinks that he is "a great marshal, but only a humble assistant". Posthumous title "Yuan" was awarded posthumously to Shi Zhong and Kai Fu Yi. [ 17]

In the first year of Jianwu (3 17), it was renamed King Jin and named Duke of Jiaxing. In addition, the Principality of Jiaxing was specially established and a food city was added. [ 18]

Gu Rong was one of the leaders of Jiangnan gentry in the Western Jin Dynasty. He, He Xun, Xue are also called the "Five Heroes" [3], and the five of them are collectively called the "Southern Golden Arrow" [19]. Gu Rong, in his own capacity, made great contributions in assisting Di Chin and Si Marui to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was the first of the southern gentry who supported Sima's regime's southward crossing.

Ewing: (1) Therefore, Chang Shi, An Dong Junsi and Jia Xingbo rode separately for the sake of justice. In rough and dangerous times and under the pressure of persecution and rebellion, every country is angry and generous. Close relationship, conspiracy to beg. Believers, the famous champion Dong Xia, Germany wavered, and he responded. He ran away from Ge Jun. It's like a forest. Honor and dedication are the cornerstones, take the lead for the public, serve the country faithfully, forget one's roots for the country, and once it falls apart, there will be no bloodshed. Introduce Zhou Gui, raze the six countries, and make great contributions to the world. (2) There is no line in the army, no Han, isolated from the river, the king's life is unreasonable, he is arbitrary, he serves the country, officials are not paid a gold fee, and the people are not successful. Yuan evil has been lost, nobles have achieved success, and granaries have been collected to build a strong army. Therefore, Guoan has money and righteousness becomes a custom. Today, it is not necessarily because of this. The strength of the box is different, and the advantages and disadvantages are also different. As for initiation and participation, helping the righteous and strengthening the country, they are not masters of creation, and they are all accepted by the public or Hou. Rong Shoujian conspired to be the party leader, a marshal with high merit, a humble assistant, a class with poor national discipline and merit, and a lonely and loyal man. [2 1]

Not only the feeling of club bells, but also the ability to restrain. (2) Yan Xian is knowledgeable and has a straight thinking. [ 19]

Chen Pu: Wang Mi in Schleswig-Holstein is not yet prosperous, and Gu Danyang is the first in the southeast. Gu Rong is easily trusted first, and he may not only grow in Jiangdong. [24]

Xie: I overheard Jin San riding a regular waiter, giving gifts to a middle waiter, a general in title of generals in ancient times, a man who was born and bred, and was well-versed in civil and military affairs. At that time, it was called the three armed forces with Lu Ji and Lu Yun. Wang Dao yearns for the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Hua is the wonder of Nanjing. You can learn about people's personalities by playing music. The Six-Country Rebellion was a great achievement of a generation. Other feats are the same as Jin Shi. [25]

Gao Qi: Wu Guoxiu, strategist, brilliant. The weak champion Youluo won the gold prize in South Mongolia. Rough king curtains, addicted to business. It's hard to be in Guangling. It's sincere and vain. A wave of wind and cloud, the righteous brigade becomes simultaneous. It's shameful to say something when it's done, but it's natural. The Golden Society moved eastward, and the group of sages received awards. The truth is true, the wings are in the sky. Wende's generation said that this trace disappeared for thousands of years. There was no good assistant at that time, and Yingmo benefited from it. The grave is desolate, depressed and desolate. The children invaded the rain tunnel, and the witches ran in the dust. The doctor stopped at the iron shaft and looked forward to it. Dress up as usual and enjoy some new enjoyment. A poor fellow villager, admired by his songs. [26]

When Gu Rong was in Luoyang, he once went to a banquet at the invitation of others. At the banquet, he found that the waiter's face was eager for barbecue. So he picked up his share of barbecue and gave it to him. Everyone at the table laughed at his demeanour. Gu Rong said: "How can there be people who cook barbecue all day and don't know the taste of barbecue?" Later, when the war broke out, a large number of people in the Jin Dynasty crossed the river to the south. Whenever Gu Rong was in danger, people often helped him, so Gu Rong gratefully asked him why, only to know that he was the one who got the barbecue that year. [27]

In April of the first year of Yongning (30 1), Sima Yi, the king of Qi, killed Sima Lun, the usurper of Zhao, and welcomed Jin Huidi back to the throne. Hui Di appointed Sima Tong as Fu, in charge of state affairs. Sima Tang has 40 people and is in power. He had already heard of it, so he signed him as Fu. Gu Rong was lucky to see Sima Tong's arrogance. In order to avoid implicating himself in the fall of Sima Tong in the future, he was drunk all day and tried to cheat wine to avoid disaster.

Gu Rong's best friend, Hanfei Feng, learned of this incident and told the King of Qi to help Gurong get out of trouble: "Gu Rong drank too much wine, not enough. Why not persuade the king of Qi to move him out of the house, so as not to miss the government affairs? " "You're right," Ge said. "I just want to tell the King of Qi about it." So he changed Gu Rong to assistant minister of Zhongshu. Gu Rong adopted Hanfei Feng's plan and became an assistant minister of Chinese books. He is honest about his work and has given up drinking. Yan Ge was surprised and asked Gu Rong, "Why didn't you get drunk after you became an assistant minister in Zhongshu?" Gu Rong was afraid of being caught cheating on wine, so he started drinking again and got drunk every day. Soon, Gurong resigned and returned to the south, under the pretext of avoiding disaster. [8]

After Wu's death, he went to Luoyang to be an official, during which he often drank alcohol. He even said to Hans Zhang, a good friend of the same county, "Only wine can forget your worries, and there is no such thing as illness." [28] A few days ago, Hans Zhang lamented that the situation was chaotic and it was difficult for celebrities like Gu Rong to seek surrender. When persuading him to look back on everything, Gu Rong also said sadly, "I have also picked ferns from Nanshan and drunk water from Sanjiang."

Gurong always likes playing the piano. After his death, Hans Zhang began to cry. Then he went to bed and played the piano several times. He sighed: "Can Gu Yanxian appreciate this piano sound again?" After saying this, he was sad and howled, "Don't mourn for the Lord." . [29]

Gu Hui and Sun Quan paid tribute to Fu Yi, a captain, and led the prefect of Badong to come from afar.

Gu Biao, the official worships the doctor and leads the general.

Gu Yong, an important official of Sun Wu, was appointed as the Prime Minister and Ping Shangshu, and was appointed as the Hou of Liling. After his death, posthumous title was "purged".

Gu Mu, the magistrate of Yidu, was able to inherit the position of Liling Hou because his younger brother Ji Gu had no children.

Gu Tan, the son of Gu Shao, is one of the "Four Friends of the Prince" and once served as Taichang. Later, he was framed and exiled to Jiaozhou.

Gu Cheng, Gu Tan's younger brother, is the official to the deputy envoy. Exiled to JIAOZHOU with Gu Tan.
