Zhang Tang, a famous cruel official in the Western Han Dynasty, was Zhang Anshi's father, while Zhang Anshi was one of the eleven outstanding figures in Qilin Pavilion and a famous minister in the Western Han Dynasty.
Zhang Anshi and Zhang Tang have different personalities. Zhang Tang was strict in law enforcement and impartial, so he was favored by the emperor. Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, is cautious by nature. Although he became a Langguan by virtue of his father's position, he never took credit. But doing things in a down-to-earth manner, which was especially valued by the emperor.
Zhang Anshi is good at calligraphy, so he works for Shangshu. Zhang Anshi is very cautious about this job. In modern terms, Zhang Anshi should be an honest workaholic. Everyone else went out on holiday, but he stayed at his post.
Once, the emperor went out to inspect and found that three boxes of books were lost halfway. The emperor wrote a letter asking who remembered which books were lost. Among so many people, only Zhang Anshi clearly remembers the titles and contents of those books and can write them in detail. Appreciating Zhang Anshi's amazing memory, the emperor promoted Zhang Anshi as a minister, and later transferred to Dr. Guanglu.
Zhang Anshi is honest and selfless as an official, similar to his father Zhang Tang. Zhang Anshi once recommended a talented person to be an official. Later, the man came to thank him, but Zhang Anshi broke up with him because he thought he was a courtier and it was his duty to recommend talents for the emperor. It was his duty to introduce Kirin Pavilion 1 1 Jay Zhang Anshi to thank him, which became a private matter, indicating that this person's mind is not pure. Finally, he resolutely broke up with that man, and there was no room for discussion.
There is another person who has made great contributions, but has never been promoted. Finally, the man found Zhang Anshi and asked Zhang Anshi to put in a good word for him in front of the emperor. In this regard, Zhang Anshi only said: "If you do a good job, the emperor will certainly see your contribution. As a courtier, how can you say that you should get as much reward as you have contributed! " The man was very ashamed at Zhang Anshi's words.
Soon after, the man got the news of the promotion, just as Zhang Anshi expected.
Besides, Zhang Anshi is very cautious. Obviously, every time he discussed state affairs with the emperor and finally drew up the result, he always got well before the emperor issued the imperial edict, and then pretended to be surprised. So many ministers in the DPRK didn't know that Zhang Anshi was also involved in the decision-making of state affairs.
Zhang Anshi is an upright and kind person. After Zhao Han succeeded to the throne, Huo Guang Fuzheng took charge of the imperial power. Huo Guang attached great importance to Zhang Anshi, put in a good word for Zhang Anshi, and made Zhang Anshi a right general, ignoring Lu Xun. Zhang Anshi has not failed Huo Guang's trust. During his three years in office 13, he did an excellent job.
Later, Xuan Di became emperor. At the beginning of his reign, Xuan Di praised Zhang Anshi, the minister, and his three sons. If this matter is put on others, others will be too happy, but Zhang Anshi is very upset. Xuan Di wanted him to be a general, but he urged his resignation.
Later, Huo Guang died, and Huo Guang's son Huo Yu was killed in rebellion. If the Huo family was involved, they would all be killed. Zhang Anshi's granddaughter, Zhang Jing, is the wife of Huo's foreign relatives. She is also sitting in a row. Zhang Anshi worried about her granddaughter's safety and pulled a long face all day. When Xuan Di found out, he asked him why. Finally, he pardoned Zhang Jing and expressed his respect and trust in Zhang Anshi.
In his later years, when Zhang Anshi became ill, he asked to resign and return to China. However, Xuan Di hopes that Zhang Anshi can help him for a few more years. Zhang Anshi couldn't refuse, so she had to use her body. Finally, he died. Xuan Di was very sad when he heard this. He gave Zhang Anshi posthumous title as a tribute, and buried him with chariots and warriors.
