0 1, Cao Cao is afraid of Han Xiandi.
According to Dixian Chunqiu, in 196, Emperor Xian of Han moved to Xu County, and Cao Cao moved here. Cao Cao's purpose is to "hold the emperor to make the princes."
In name, Cao Cao wanted to protect the emperor, but in fact he was under control. The guards and attendants of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty were all arranged by Cao Cao, and they were all his "old party".
Cao Cao, who controlled Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, did not allow others to "touch" the puppet. Even (the father of Queen Fu) was killed by Cao Cao for "speaking for the emperor" and "the rest inside and outside".
Later, once, Cao Cao went to the temple to see Emperor Han Xian because of something. Xian Di gnashed his teeth with anger and said to him, "I feel lucky if you help me, otherwise, please do me a favor and kill me, and be the emperor yourself!"
Cao Cao was immediately frightened to disgrace, "pitch out", looked around sweating profusely, and never dared to see him again.
02. Emperor Yang Di also likes to be jealous.
Emperor Yang Di was eager to learn since he was a child. He not only likes poetry, but also writes it well. He thinks he is the best in the world. If someone passes him, he will be very unhappy and jealous.
Jia Hua in Sui and Tang Dynasties recorded his virtue-"Yang-ti is good at writing, but he doesn't want others to be the best."
However, it happened that one person was better than him. Later generations rated his level as "the highest artistic achievement among poets in Sui Dynasty".
This man, Xue Daoheng, was an official in the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasties and continued to be an official after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty. When Yang Di was appointed as Secretary of State, he was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry, and his biographies were published in Sui Shu and Northern History.
Yesterday's Salt is one of Xue Daoheng's representative works, in which the couplets of "hanging cobwebs in the dark, empty beams falling into the mud" are simply breathtaking. Yang Di can't even say such a quatrain, so you can imagine how sour he is.
Later, Xue Daoheng was punished for something. Before his execution, Yang Di gloated and asked him, "Can you still short the beam?"
Some people think that Emperor Yang Di made an excuse to kill him out of jealousy.
This is a bit wronged Yang Di, jealousy is jealousy, but to say that he killed people because he was too young is to look down on Yang Di, who is not that young.
Xue Daoheng's tragedy is entirely caused by his pedantry and loyalty to Geng Jie, and officialdom cannot tolerate this pedantry. Yang Di warned him many times in good faith, but unfortunately he didn't listen, and he didn't want to change, and eventually he hurt himself.
03, Wei Zhi's sigh
According to "Biography of the Ruler and the Ruler", when a famous Wei Zhi served as a servant, the court assigned him two assistants.
One night, Wei Zhi was about to go to bed. Hardly had he laid down when he heard two assistants whispering outside the window.
Because of the dead of night, although it was a whisper, he still listened to it.
One of them said, "When I wait for the official position, I will always be an old man"-the two of us can get this official position because of this old man. It is this old man who decides our fate.
The other doesn't think so. He thought it was God's will. Man's fate is not decided by others, but by heaven.
Hearing this, Wei Zheng smiled and immediately wrote a letter, calling the assistant who said "this old man" and asking him to deliver the letter to the assistant minister's office. The letter said, "Be a good official with this person"-give this person a good official position.
Of course, the man didn't know the contents of the letter, otherwise he wouldn't have done "stupid things"-he just went out with the letter, and his heart ached, so he asked the person who said "Tianding" for help.
When the assistant minister saw Wei Zhi's note, he kept him and gave him a good position.
And the person who should have got a good office can only sing coldly from now on.
Wei Zhi was very vague, so he made a phone call to ask, only to understand that this was the way it was.
Before, Wei Zhi, who only believed in human efforts and never believed in "fate", sighed, "Is human destiny really in the hands of God?"
04. Tang Xuanzong dreamed.
The Book of Destiny also tells a story about fate.
This story first appeared in Tai Ping Guang Ji.
It is said that Tang Xuanzong dreamed that he fell into a deep well and was about to drown when a soldier in red jumped down and carried him out.
The next day, Xuanzong came to the Soldier to look for a "savior", but he couldn't find it. He searched the garden again and saw a man in red. He asked him what dreams he had last night. The man replied that he dreamed that he came out of the well with the sun on his back and rose to the sky.
On the third day, Tang Xuanzong saw that what he said was in good agreement with the scene in his dream and asked him what kind of official he was now. The other party replied that I would not be an official and my family was poor.
On the fourth day, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wanted him to be an official, but his handwriting really didn't look like an official, so he gave him 5000 yuan.
On the fifth day, this money is definitely a large amount.
05. What Tang Xuanzong regretted most.
According to An Lushan's deeds, in the 24th year of Kaiyuan, An Lushan was the general of Pinglu and was ordered to crusade against the Khitan, but he was defeated. At that time, Zhang Shousheng, our ambassador to john young, demanded beheading.
Before An Lushan entered the DPRK, he met the Prime Ministers Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Jiuling, who knew people quite well. At that time, he saw that An Lushan was a treacherous man, and concluded that this man would definitely make an insurrection in the future. "Those who disturb the secluded state will be chaotic", so Zhang Shousheng approved in his performance: "If you leave the army, you will punish Zhuang Jia; Sun Wu ordered the maids to be beheaded. If you follow the military orders, Lushan should not be spared from death. "
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty "cherished his courage and sharpness" and was reluctant to kill him. This man will be of great use to the country in the future. Why did you kill him? I'll be anxious with whoever kills me. It's no problem to avoid the official.
Zhang Jiuling certainly doesn't want to leave a disaster for the country. "If you play again, please punish it." Tang Xuanzong was angry: "You are speculating! You said Lushan was ambitious. What evidence is there? Please don't take advantage of Wang Yifu's understanding of Xerox to harm Zhongliang by mistake! " Never kill An Lushan.
Later, An Lushan rose up, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Sichuan. He regretted not listening to Zhang Jiuling and sent envoys to Qujiang (Shaoguan, Guangdong, Zhang Jiuling's hometown) to pay homage to Zhang Jiuling's heroic spirit (Zhang Jiuling died in the 28th year of Kaiyuan).
06. The mole on An Lushan's foot.
According to Taiping Guangji, when An Lushan was an official under the account of Han Gong Zhang Renyuan, Zhang Renyuan often asked An Lushan to wash his feet.
Zhang Renyuan has a mole on the sole of his foot, and An Lushan "stole it because of washing". Zhang Renyuan smiled and said to him, "The man with the mole is my dear friend. Do you have one too? "
The implication is that this is something only for nobles, and you don't deserve it!
I didn't expect An Lushan to say that although I am a bitch, it's a pity that I have both feet, and they are darker and bigger than the general's.
Zhang Renyuan quickly asked him to show it to him. At first glance, sure enough, the image of An Lushan suddenly became tall in his eyes.
One of them is terrible. His family has two children, and I don't know where it is expensive in the future!
Zhang Renyuan's attitude towards the Anshi Rebellion immediately took a big turn, wishing to call him dad.
Of course, it's not appropriate to call dad, so take him as your adopted son, so that "it's good to be close to him, and it's a godson's business" and recommend him every chance.
An Lushan's success has something to do with this kind of brain damage.
07. Han Yu was slapped by himself.
In 8 19 AD, Han Yu, assistant minister of punishments, angered Tang Xianzong who worshiped Buddha and Tang Xianzong wanted to put him to death. Pei Du, the prime minister, and other ministers avoided death and were demoted to Chaozhou Secretariat.
It is an honor for this famous great poet to come to Bixiang. How can the people of Chaozhou be indifferent? On the day he arrived in Chaozhou, local officials and the people of the whole city almost rushed out to welcome the great poet.
Han Yu, who was very excited, suddenly saw a tall and burly monk in the welcome crowd.
Unfortunately, you can only look at it from a distance, not from a close distance. When the monk got closer and closer to the welcoming crowd, Han Yucai found that the monk looked fierce, just like the ferocious arhat in the temple, especially the two big teeth that exploded, which looked like saber-toothed tigers.
Han Yudun was unhappy. His smiling face turned cold a second ago, thinking that this man looks so fierce that he must be an evil monk. If he does something bad, he must pull out his fangs!
After the welcoming ceremony, Han Yu came to Taishou House and inquired about the monk, only to know that he was a famous monk.
The result was a bit unexpected to him.
To his surprise, when he went to work the next day, his men presented a small bag and told him that it was sent by a monk named Diandian.
In addition to two big teeth, there is also a poem in the bag: Confucianism is based on benevolence, and Buddhism also helps all beings. Different ways and the same purpose will meet me at the edge of the island.
Han Yu was stunned and thought it was an enlightened monk. He can read my mind through my expression, and he pulled out his fangs without me.
Han Yu felt very guilty and regretted that he should not judge a book by its cover. He immediately wrote down the three characters of "mouth holding an nunnery" and ordered someone to send it to Jisheng Temple, where the monk was located in the main hall.
Since then, Jisheng Temple has been renamed as "Kouchi Temple" and the two became good friends.
08. Bai Juyi is looking for flowers and asking for willows
Bai Juyi made a secretariat of Hangzhou according to "Dream of the West Lake", governing the territory with benevolence, and the poor broke the law. He never punished them easily according to the law, but told them to plant some trees by the West Lake as punishment. Many years later, the West Lake is surrounded by trees, and he himself "takes prostitutes to see the mountains and find flowers and ask for willows every time he comes here".
This official is really handsome!
And deeply loved by the people. After Bai Juyi left, local residents built pavilions on the shore of the lake, "erected statues to worship" and planted many violets in the lake, "to make it as white as an elephant."
This pavilion built by local people is the famous Yu Lian Pavilion.
09 Su Shi loathe to give up officialdom.
Su Shi's younger brother Su Zhe recorded in A Bie Zhi of Longchuan that a cloth named Xu Sanweng came from Tianqing Temple in Taizhou. I don't know where it came from He sweeps the floor in the temple every day, eats only the leftovers of Taoist priests, and often speaks evil words to people, which is very accurate.
Su Zhe said that in 1085, his brother Su Shi went to Dengzhou from Huangzhou to go to see Xu Sanweng and asked about his "future". Xu Sanweng said to Su Shi, I wish you wouldn't be an official.
Su Shi believed, but didn't listen, because he was reluctant to leave the officialdom. Later, he was demoted one after another, from Lingnan to Hainan, and suffered a lot.
10, the human skull makes rosary.
According to Miscellaneous Notes in the Garden, Lu Rong, a minister born in the first year of Ming Yingzong orthodoxy, was ordered to go to Ningxia to get the soldiers' winter clothes in the Neifu warehouse one year. He saw that the official was holding a string of prayer beads with a special color in his hand, and he was "as rosy as a bone" and curiously asked the other party what it was made of.
The other party told him that the origin of this rosary was unusual. When Emperor Taizong (Ming Taizu Judy) was fighting in Baigou River, dead soldiers piled up everywhere. Emperor Taizong missed them and ordered people to take their skulls, make them into prayer beads and give them to officials to recite the Buddha, hoping that they could be reincarnated and turn over a new leaf. If the skull is particularly deep, it is made into a bowl filled with clear water for the Buddha to use, and it is named "Tian Ling Bowl".
1 1 The trunk uplift encountered a "thorn"
According to the "North East Garden Records", Qianlong enjoyed himself by traveling around the capital. Suddenly, a villager appeared, armed and rushing towards him.
Guards and attendants stopped them, caught them and replied that they were Zhili.
Qianlong was furious, and then said, "wronged". Although I patrolled twice a year in the spring and autumn, it brought a little trouble to the nearby people, but the money and food exempted twice a year has been astronomical for decades, right? Are they not enough to make ends meet? In the eyes of these people, there is no master!
12, Shi Lang's son "The Animal Face and the Human Heart"
The history of famous ministers in Qing Dynasty was dubbed as "incomplete" because of its ugly appearance. His father was General Shi Lang who recovered Taiwan Province's Treasure Island.
According to "Nest Forest", when Shi was a county magistrate, he went to visit his boss. The boss covered his mouth and smiled when he saw that he was sorry for the audience. He understood what the boss was laughing at and said seriously, "Does the leader think I am too ugly? The most hateful thing in the world is the beast with a human face. I am the beast with a human face. What harm! "
How ugly is he? Zhicheng Deng, a historian born in the 13th year of Guangxu, called him "crooked eyes, crooked hands, lame feet and crooked doors" and so-called "incomplete five elements". Emperor Kangxi, who thought he had a good sense of humor, simply called him "incomplete application".
Shi's ugly appearance is not caused by any genetic factors, but by his childhood illness.
13 Xiao Shenyang was beaten in the face by Gan Long.
People say that Xiao Shenyang is the darling of Qianlong, knowing that he is corrupt, he will not be dealt with and let him monopolize power.
In fact, in his later years, little Shenyang was no longer beautiful, and he was severely slapped by Gan Long.
According to "Beidongyuan", in the last years of Qianlong, Dai Quheng (once a bachelor, minister of military aircraft, university student of Tijen Pavilion, etc.). , and gave him a surname) and Wu (who won the cabinet book, served as military aircraft, moved the punishment department as a doctor, and the General Political Department participated in the discussion) are both military aircraft (small military clerk).
On one occasion, they both worked the night shift. In the middle of the night, a province suddenly sent a letter, which needs to be answered immediately.
Gan Long put on his clothes and read, but he announced urgently that the Minister of Military Affairs intended to make a law. However, the director in charge of conveying the decree said that the Minister of Military Affairs has not come yet, and there are only two small clerks on duty in the military department, waiting outside.
Gan Long asked the names of the two men, called them in, showed them the passbook, and dictated them to make a plan.
The two of them are like a duck to water, and they will be done soon. They understand that Xiao Chang is exactly what Gan Long wants.
At this time, the Minister of Military Affairs arrived late, and Gan Long showed them what the two clerks had mentioned and asked them if they were in order, and they all said yes.
Therefore, Gan Longsheng praised the ability of these two men and ordered them to join the ranks of military affairs ministers every day.
Xiao Shenyang quit when he found out. He is afraid of their decentralization. The emperor, the emperor, can't do this, and then start fooling others.
Xiao Shenyang said that in fact, these two men are the right-hand men of the military department, and they wrote all the documents drafted by the ministers.
Your Majesty, do you think this is a good idea? Let them still work in the army in the future. This is actually different from the Oracle. If you do as you say, they will join the military affairs minister, but the position is too small to be right.
It means they are not qualified.
Once upon a time, little Shenyang listened to everything he said. This time, Qianlong smiled and said, since you take the official position as a reference, you can't beat me, so wait for the imperial edict.
Little Shenyang dared not play any more, so he shut up.
Before long, the imperial edict came down-Dai Quheng and Wu were rewarded with three top hats and learned to walk among military ministers.
In a hurry, little Shenyang was white and bloodless, blaming himself for his self-defeating, and confused that the big boss no longer gave him face.
There is a saying in Ji Xiaolan that "the tricks of villains are always the blessing of gentlemen", which means that the calculation of villains can only make the blessing of gentlemen, and it is sincere!
