0036 Ban Chao
Ban Chao, whose real name is Zhong Sheng, is from Fufeng Anling, the youngest son of Xu Lingbiao. Be ambitious and don't rest on your laurels. However, I am very filial, always on duty at home, and I am not ashamed of my work. Have a mouth to argue, but dabble in book biography. In the fifth year of Yongping, Gu Ge was called to the school bookseller, and Chao's mother and son followed him to Luoyang. Poor family, often supported by official and servant books. After studying hard for a long time, he dropped out of school and sighed, "A gentleman has no ambition. He should still win the championship in Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian in foreign countries. Can he stay in the fence for a long time? " Laugh at it in two ways. Chao said, "I know the ambition of a strong man!" Later, the audience said, "If you drink wine and wear clothes, you will have ears, but you should seal off the post-Wanli." When asked about his appearance, the fortuneteller pointed out: "It's like Wan Li has a swallow and a tiger's neck, flying to eat meat." For a long time, Xianzong asked Gu, "Is Ann there?" Gu You: "Write a book for an official and accept it directly to support your mother. "The emperor is the leader of Lantai. Take a back seat and avoid being an official.
In the 16th year, Dou Gu, a captain, attacked the Xiongnu, taking Chao as a pseudo-Sima, so that the soldiers could not attack Yiwu, and fought in Puleihai, so that they could be beheaded and returned. Solid, sent and engaged in Guo Yao to the western regions.
When he reached Shanshan, Wang Shanshan Guangfeng was well prepared for the ceremony, and then he was even more relaxed. Besides calling himself an official, he also said, "Would you rather feel generous and polite? There must be an emissary from Beilu who is suspicious of what the unknown has done. The wise see that it is not cute and the situation is evil. " However, he told his servant to cheat and said, "The Huns have been here for a few days. Do you care now? " It is awesome to wait on Hu, and there is a look of waiting on him. Chao is Hu's servant. He knows that his 36 officials are drinking with * * *, and the wine is very rich. He said angrily, "Cao Qing and I are in a secluded place, and we want to make great contributions and realize wealth. Now, Ambassador Lu has been laid off for several days, but the honour of Wang Guangli has been abolished. For example, Shanshan accepted my family and gave it to Xiongnu, and the bones were eaten by wolves. What can you do? " All the officials and subordinates said, "Today is at stake, and life and death depend on Sima." Chao said, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Today's plan is unique because attacking Lu with fire at night will make him not know how powerful I am, and he will go into shock and be exhausted. You destroy this, you will be kind and brave, and you will succeed. " People say, "We should discuss it with others." Super glare: "Look at today. If you are engaged in literary customs, you won't dare to vent your anger when you hear this. come to a bad end is not a strong man! " Everyone said, "Good." The first night, I sent officials to the camp. It will be windy the next day, so ten people hide the house with drums. After that, they said, "When you see the fire, you should all beat the drums and shout." I found myself crouching in front of a crossbow. Super is arson with the wind, making noise before and after. Lu Zhong was in a panic and killed three people with open hands. Officials and soldiers beheaded their envoys and followers for more than 30 times, and hundreds of people were burned to death. Tomorrow I will sue Guo Yao, I will be scared and then I will be angry. Knowing what it meant, he raised his hand and said, "Although it's no good, why does Ban Chao care about this alone?" You are very happy. Chao Sui called Guang and made his debut with Lu, which shocked the whole country. Chao Xiao told comfort, so he took his son as quality. It was also played in "Dou Gu", which won people's hearts and achieved excellent results, hoping to make it more important to go to the western regions. The emperor crossed the line and said, "Why don't you choose an official like Ban Chao? Today, I am a military Sima, making you successful. " He went beyond his orders and was determined to benefit his soldiers. Beyond said, "it is enough to transfer our office from more than 30 people." If there is nothing wrong with it, it will be more beneficial and tiring. "
At that time, Wang Guangde newly attacked shache, so Xiongnan Road, Xiongnu sent envoys to care for each other. Outside the west, as for the first one. Guangde etiquette is very sparse. And its vulgar belief in witchcraft. "Why is God angry with Korea? Is there one in Han Shi? Horse, I beg me urgently. " Guangde sent envoys to invite horses. Know its shape in a super secret, report it, and ask the witch to get the horse. For a while, the witch came and cut off her head and sent it to Guangde, so she resigned. Guangde, who had never heard of Chao in Shanshan, was shocked, attacked and killed the Xiongnu messenger and surrendered to Chao. Overweight to the king below, because of the town. ("once"? Biography of Ban Chao)

Ban Chao, whose real name is Zhong Sheng, is from Fufeng Anling, the youngest son of Ban Biao, the magistrate of Xu County. He is ambitious and informal. But I am filial in my heart. I do some hard work diligently at home, and I am not ashamed of being tired and humble. Eloquent, he likes to browse books and pass notes. In the fifth year of Yongping (AD 63), his brother Ban Gu was recruited as a school book boy, and Ban Chao went to Luoyang with his mother. Poor family, often employed by the government to copy books, with their own income to support their mothers. Tired and hard for a long time, I stopped what I was doing, slammed my pen and sighed, "A gentleman has no ambition. He should also follow the example of Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian, make meritorious service in a foreign country and get a title. How can he spend a long time between the pen and the inkstone? " Colleagues made fun of him. Ban Chao said: "How can a teenager know the ambition of a strong man!" Later, he went to see the fortune teller, and the fortune teller said, "Sir, you are only a man in a cloth, but you will be sealed away in the future." Ban Chao asked about its shape: "Its forehead is like a swallow, its neck is like a tiger, and it flies and eats meat. This is what the post-Wanli looks like. " After a long time, Xian Zong asked Ban Gu, "Where is your brother?" Ban Gu replied, "He is copying books for the government and earning some money to support his mother." Xianzong appointed Ban Chao as the official history of Lantai. Later, Ban Chao was relieved of his post because of his own fault.
In the 16th year of Yongping (AD 74), Dou Gu, a captain of Che Feng, sent troops to crusade against the Huns, taking Ban Chao as the agent, and asked him to lead an army to attack Yiwu and fight in the Prehai, killing many enemies. Dou Gu thought Ban Chao was very talented, so he sent him to the Western Regions with Guo Yao.
When Ban Chao arrived in Shanshan, the light king of Shanshan received him respectfully and politely, and then suddenly became cold. Ban Chao said to his men, "Do you feel that courtesy in a broad sense is weak? This must be because of the arrival of a Hun messenger, who hesitated and didn't know what to do. Smart people can see things that have not yet been warned, let alone obvious facts? " Then he called the Hu people to cheat, saying, "The Xiongnu emissary has been here for several days. Where is it now? " The waiter was frightened and told the whole story. Ban Chao locked up the waiter and called all his 36 subordinates together for a drink. When he was happy, Ban Chao angered them with words: "You and we are in a very remote place, and we want to make great contributions to prosperity. Now that the Xiongnu emissary has only been here for a few days, Wang Guang of Shanshan has cancelled his courtesy. If he arrests us and gives us to the Huns, our bones will be fed to the jackals forever. What do you think? " The subordinates all said, "Now we are in danger, and we will obey Sima's orders." Ban Chao said, "You can't catch a little tiger until you reach the tiger hole. At present, the only way is to attack the Huns with fire at night so that they don't know how many people we have. They must be very scared. We can wipe them out. With the elimination of the Huns, King Shanshan will be frightened and make a career. " The subordinate said, "We should discuss it with the employees." Ban Chao said angrily, "Whether it is good or bad depends on today. As a weak and mediocre official, listening to our plan will inevitably reveal the secret out of fear. If you die without praise, you are not a hero. " Everyone said, "Good!" As soon as it got dark, Ban Chao led his men to the camp of Xiongnu emissary. At this time, a strong wind blew. Ban Chao told 10 people to hide behind the Xiongnu messenger's barracks with drums, and agreed to say, "When you see the fire, you all beat the drums and shout loudly." The rest, armed with bows and arrows, lay in ambush on both sides of the camp gate. Ban Chao set fire to the wind, beating drums and shouting before and after, and the Huns were scared into a mess. Ban Chao personally killed three people, and his men killed more than 30 Xiongnu messengers and soldiers, all of whom were beheaded. The remaining 100 people were all burned to death. The next day, I went back and told Guo Yao the situation. Guo Yao began to be surprised and immediately changed his face. Knowing that he meant to share the credit, Ban Chao raised his hand and said to Guo Yao, "Although you didn't go to defeat the enemy together, how can I bear to monopolize the credit?" Guo Yao is happy. Ban Chao then summoned him to show him the heads of the Xiongnu messengers, which shocked the whole country. Ban Chao told them about it and comforted them. So King Shanshan sent his son to the Han Dynasty as a hostage. Ban Chao came back to report to Dou Gu, and Dou Gu was overjoyed. He described in detail Ban Chao's contribution to the Ming emperor, and asked to send another emissary to the Western Regions. Emperor Hanming praised Ban Chao's integrity and ordered Dou Gu to say, "If there are officials like Ban Chao, why not send them and choose someone else?" ? Now, Ban Chao is appointed as the Military Department Sima, so that he can complete his previous achievements. "Ban Chao was sent to the western regions again. Dou Gu wants to send more soldiers to Ban Chao. Ban Chao said, "I just want to take more than 30 people with me. If something happens, it will be more troublesome if there are more people. "
At this time, Yugu Wang Guangde had just breached shache, and he was a hero in the southern part of the Western Regions. The Huns sent messengers to monitor their country. When Ban Chao went to the Western Regions, Qi arrived first. King Guangde was cold to him and extremely thoughtless of his manners. And the custom in this country believes in witchcraft. The wizard said, "The man of God lost his temper. Why did he want to get close to the Han Dynasty? There is a messenger of the Han dynasty? Horse, bring it to me quickly. " King Guangde sent someone to ask Ban Chao for a horse. Ban Chao secretly understood this situation and promised to give him the horse and let the wizard lead the horse himself. After a while, the wizard came, and Ban Chao immediately cut off his head and gave it to King Guangde, and scolded him with words. King Guangde was very frightened when he heard that Ban Chao had killed the Xiongnu emissary in Shanshan, so he killed the Xiongnu emissary and surrendered to Ban Chao. Ban Chao rewarded King Guangde and his men to pacify Yugo.

Wang Xizhi's handwriting is rare, while Stuart's handwriting is very obedient. It is not surprising that people are young and speak slowly. And long, arguing and raising, famous bones. Especially the book is the best in ancient and modern times, and critics call it the pen gesture, which is considered as a floating cloud, smart and shocking, deeply valued by Taoism. When it has the same name, it has the same name as Wang Cheng and Wang Yue. When Jane asked his disciples to seek guidance from his son-in-law, he ordered him to visit his children in the east wing. Disciple turned around and said, "Wang is good at counting, but he is salty and reserved when he hears his letter." The only person who eats in the east bed is hungry, but if he doesn't smell it. "The sword said," This is a good husband and evil! "Remember it, it also means Xi, so I regard it as a woman's wife.
The elegance of Xihe River is delicious and easy to raise, and it is not happy in the capital. When she crosses Zhejiang for the first time, she will have the ambition to complete it. Huiji has beautiful landscapes. Many celebrities live here, and Xie An also lives here when he is not an official. Sun Chuo, Li Chong and others. They are all good at writing and meaning, and they are all good at building houses with east soil and west. Taste and gay banquet was held in Lanting, which is located in the shade of Huiji Mountain. Xi's own order was to declare his ambition.
Have sex with geese, there will be a lonely goose in Huiji, who is good at singing. If there is no market, I will take a new friend to see it. I heard Xihe was coming, and I cooked for him. Xihe regretted it for a long time. There is also a Taoist priest in Yin Shan who keeps geese very well. He likes them very much and goes to the market. The Taoist priest said, "In order to write the Tao Te Ching, we will send a group of people to communicate with each other."
Xihe happily finished writing and went home in a cage, very happy. I tasted my protege's house and found it slippery. Because of the book, it was really half grass. Later, his father accidentally scraped it off, and the students were shocked and depressed. The book of Xi is very important to the world, and it is like this. Every boast: "My book is better than species, so I should resist;": Compared with Zhang, he is still a wild goose. "I once wrote a book with someone:" Zhang Zhi is reading by the pool. The water in the pool is all black, which makes people worry, but it may not be the last one. "
Wang Shu, an ancient general of a title of generals in ancient times, is not famous, as famous as Xihe, but Xihe is very light because of its good relationship. First of all, it will be a meeting, mother will live in the county, and Xi's generation will stop, so it will be unimportant. Every time I hear the sound of the horn, I mean I should wait for myself and wait for it. Such people have been doing this for several years, but they ignore it and say they hate it.

Wang Xizhi is the nephew of Stuart Wang Dao. When Wang Xizhi was a child, he was not good at talking, and people couldn't see anything superhuman about him. When he grew up, he was very good at arguing and was famous for his honest and frank temperament. His calligraphy is particularly good, and he is the first person since ancient times. People praised his calligraphy style as "floating like a cloud, agile like a dragon". His uncles Wang Dun and Wang Dao attach great importance to him. Ruan Yu, a native of Chen Liu (near Kaifeng, Henan), was a police officer at that time. Ruan Yu also valued Wang Xizhi, and regarded him, Wang Yue and Wang Cheng as the three great talents of the Wang family. On one occasion, Qiu Jian sent his protege to see Wang Dao, hoping to choose a son-in-law among the children of the Wangs. Wang Dao sent people to the East Wing to see the Wangs' children. When his protege came back, he said to Du Jian, "The children in the Wang family are all good, but when they heard that an envoy came, they all looked stiff and unnatural. Only one person sat on the bed in the east, eating with an empty stomach, as if nothing had happened. " Du Jian said, "This is the right husband for me. "Ask, turned out to be wang xizhi. County Jian married his daughter to him.
Xizhi likes taking medicine to nourish her temperament, but she doesn't like being in Beijing. When he first arrived in Zhejiang, he had the ambition to die here. Huiji has beautiful scenery, beautiful scenery and celebrities. Xie An lived here before he became an official. Sun Chuo, Li Chong and others are all famous for their articles. They all have houses here, and they are all in love with Wang Xizhi. Wang Xizhi once hosted a banquet for his good friend Huiji in Yinshan Lanting, and personally prefaced it to show his ambition.
Wang Xizhi was born a sex goose. In Huiji, there was a lonely old lady who kept a goose. That sounds great. He wanted to buy it but couldn't, so he took his relatives and friends to see it. But when the old lady heard that he was coming, she cooked the goose and prepared to entertain him. He was sad all day. At that time, there was a Taoist priest in Yinshan who kept a flock of geese. Wang Xizhi was very happy when he went to see it, and repeatedly begged the Taoist priest to buy his goose. The Taoist priest said to him, "You help me copy the Tao Te Ching, and I'll give you all these geese." Wang Xizhi wrote happily, put the goose in the cage and went back. He was very happy all the way. On another occasion, he went to a student's house and saw that his low wooden table was clean and smooth, so he wrote on it, half in regular script and half in cursive script. Later, the student's father accidentally scraped off these words, and his students regretted it for several days. His calligraphy notes were valued by the world at that time, and there were many such things. Wang Xizhi often calls himself; "My calligraphy is comparable to Zhong You; Compared with Zhang Zhi's cursive script, it is also like a wild goose. " He once wrote: "In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhi learned to write in Linchi, and the pool turned black. If everyone in the world is as addicted to calligraphy as he is, it is not necessarily worse than him. "
Wang Shu, an ancient general of a title of generals in ancient times, was not famous, as famous as Wang Xizhi, but Wang Xizhi looked down on him, so they were at odds. Wang made an internal review. He resigned to mourn because of his mother's death. Wang Xizhi came to visit Wang Shu's house once instead of him, and never came to the door again. Every time Wang Shu heard the bugle call outside, he always thought that Wang Xizhi had come to visit him and quickly swept it away. After a year, Wang Xizhi ignored it, and Wang Shu deeply regretted it. "

Ji Xu was born in Nanling, Xuanzhou. Take an examination of Jinshi and choose a professor from Guizhou. Julian Waghann begged his toes and transferred him to join the army. Pay-as-you-go risks, people who serve in the army avoid hiding and catch more than a thousand people. The messenger made a performance stick and said, "This is an inherent crime, but hunger and disease are not enough to win the stick, so it is ok to take a warning." The messenger was angry and wanted to disrupt his performance and strive for the same performance. The messenger can't take it away. As soon as Shu Qi heard his name, he would recommend him with the suggestion. He didn't behave well and refused to answer. Tongguan Tongzhou has a dike near the sea, which will be abandoned and incurable. Bow, bow, governor, build it to prevent death, and the people will benefit from it. Hui Zong was founded, moved to Zhongshu Sheren, and edited the history of Zongshen. At that time, the Shaosheng Party was still in North Korea, and people had different opinions on solving the New Deal. The emperor said: "every time I listen to my courtiers, I will slap them if I don't cheat;" But you are honest and upright, and I rely on it. "Zhao and Cai Jing's Five Dynasties School. Ji refused to go to Beijing and resigned. Move to Hanlin Bachelor. The national history has not been completed for a long time, and the performance said: "The Official History of the Immortals" has leapt to today and has not yet been completed. The likes and dislikes of Yuan Hu in the furious world are different from those of Shao Shengqier. Fan Zuyu and other experts collect notes from Sima Guang's family biography, and the Cai Jing brothers simply use Wang Anshi's Daily Record to tell their own stories, so the discussion is controversial. At that time, the auxiliary house, family records, why not? I said, we should make the best use of everything, participate in right and wrong, and make it a grand ceremony. " The emperor did it, and ordered the official to resign the historian and let him take it wholeheartedly. What's the achievement? The palace meets the emperor. Cai Jing took the palace as the old one, and each song has two meanings, which made many achievements. If your tribute family is sick, or the Hanlin bachelor hasn't gone out yet, the emperor said, "If you pay tribute to me, you have to go to the court, so why take it away!" After three years of grand view, I know the Taiping House. When the emperor summoned the pilgrims, he said, "This is because of lack of expenses." Right: "There are good ways to make money, manage money and use money. Now that the country is in short supply, your majesty clearly has a department that can speak and practice. " The emperor said, "Long time no see. Today is Wen Yan Jia. " When Cai Jing called back from Qiantang, he said with a slight shake, "Yuan Gong will meet you at Botong Right, and Botong is in the same phase." Ji Xiao said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. How can I benefit from it? " Beijing can't be right, and its achievements will not be reused. He died of illness at the age of 79.

Ji Xu is from Nanling, Xuanzhou. Recommend him as a Jinshi and elect him as a professor in Guizhou. The imperial court sent troops to crusade against toes and transferred them to send official documents. Ji Xu was ordered to join the army. Because of the miasma on the way to deliver food, most people who should serve fled and arrested more than 1000 people. The messenger asked Ji Xu to blame them with a stick. Ji Xu said, "They are indeed guilty, but they are all hungry and cold, and they can't bear the responsibility of the stick. Let's dye their arms as a warning. " The messenger was very angry and wanted to impeach Ji Xu. Ji Xu argued that he would never change, nor could the messenger change him. When Shu Shu heard of his fame, he wanted to recommend him as an imperial adviser. Ji Xu hates Shu Shu's personality and refuses to agree. When he was a judge in Tongzhou, there was a dam by the sea, which had been abandoned for a long time and had not been treated. People suffer from seawater flooding every year. Ji Xu personally urged soldiers to build seawalls. After the completion of the dam, people depend on it for profit. When Hui Zong ascended the throne, Ji Xu was promoted to China calligrapher, which revised the history of Zongshen. At that time, Shao Sheng's henchmen were still in North Korea, and people had different ideas about preventing the implementation of the New Deal. The emperor said to Ji Xu, "Every time I listen to the minister answer a question, it is either cheating or flattering, but Ji Xu's honesty and frankness are exactly what I rely on." So he sent letters to Ji Xu and Cai Jing, asking them to learn the precepts of the Five Dynasties. Ji Xu refused to cooperate with Cai Jing, so he insisted on refusing. Later, he was promoted to a bachelor's degree in Hanlin, and the national history was not completed for a long time. Ji Xu said: "The official history of Zongshen has been revised five times now, and it has not been completed yet. Probably because the likes and dislikes of Yuan Hu and Shao Sheng are different, Fan Zuyu and others are responsible for some notes collected by Sima Guang. Cai Jing brothers only use Wang Anshi's Daily Record, and they have their own opinions, so they discuss a lot. At that time, every auxiliary hospital had records. How can you say there is no record? I think it should all be used, and refer to the right and wrong parts of the revision to make it a national history. " The emperor thought he was right and ordered Ji Xu to draft an imperial edict, warning historians to collect it wholeheartedly and not to distort historical facts. Ji Xu and He Zhizhong served the emperor in the palace. Cai Jing used to flatter them against his will because he was an old bureaucrat. Ji Xu didn't diminish his honor at all. Ji Xu asked to go home to visit his sick relatives. Some people say that Bachelor Hanlin has no rules for going out. The emperor said, "Ji Xu asked to go back, not leave the court. How could he easily change this rule! " In the third year of Daguan, Ji Xu became the Taiping magistrate. The emperor called him into the court, and he tried his best to state the pain brought to the people by the previous tea salt law. The emperor said, "It is because of the lack of wealth."
Ji Xu replied: "We should have an appropriate way to get money, teach people a lesson when managing money, and spend money wisely. Now that the country's resources are in short supply, Your Majesty can convene relevant officials from all over the country to carry out publicity and personally promote it. " The emperor said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I just heard good advice today." When Cai Jing was called back from Qiantang, he touched him with obscure words and said, "Your contribution is above Botong, who is already the prime minister."
Ji Xu smiled and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. How can I change because of my fortune? " Cai Jing was ashamed and speechless, and Ji Xu was not reused in the end. He died of illness at the age of 79. Ji Xu Geng Jie was a man of integrity, especially valued by the emperor, but he was not reused. At that time, people felt sorry for it.

Bibi, a benevolent person, came from the clouds of Daizhou. Song Taizu Gander became a scholar in four years. In the second year of Emperor Taizong, the vassal left the capital and went to fief to be a vassal. Emperor Taizong carefully selected his own officials and transferred Bi to Zuo Shiyi as a clerk to join the army. Emperor Taizong said in the imperial edict: "The students of the Prince grew up in the imperial court and knew nothing about the outside world. They are coming of age. We need the help of virtuous people to help them hear the truth of loyalty and filial piety every day. I hope you work hard. " During the reign of Emperor Duangong, Emperor Taizong ordered Wang Fu officials to submit their own articles. After studying for many days, Taizong asked the courtiers around him, "Their talents have all been put to good use. Whose character is better? " Some people take Bishayan as the answer.

Bi replied: "Kou Zhun is upright, selfless, high-spirited, passionate, noble in character, willing to die for his country, sticking to the right path and hating evil, which we have been cultivating for a long time. Few ministers in the DPRK surpassed him, but they were not popular with the world. Now, although all the people in the world owe the emperor's kindness and nourish their leisure, Xixia, as the northwest land, is a scourge on the border, and talents like Kou Zhun are the ones who should be appointed. Zhenzong said, "In that case, you should subdue him with a promising old man like you. In less than a month, Bi became an official in Kou Zhun. Bi also supervised the compilation of the history of the dynasty, and his official position was above Kou Zhun. Kou Zhun became prime minister, stuck to the right path, hated evil, and the sinister villain tried to crowd him out every day. Some civilians told Zonggu that Kou Zhun had made friends with Wang.
