Beauty can't resist temptation now: two generals of Confucius were surprised

It is human nature to love beauty. You Ran, who is not close to women, is rare, even the sages throughout the ages are no exception. Confucius once said, "I have never seen such a good virtue as lust." Gao Zi also said, "Food, color and sex are also important." Throughout the ages, many emperors and heroes have fallen at the feet of pomegranate skirts, addicted to women, and defeated the country. When Liu Jixing studied history, she couldn't help feeling sad for this tragedy.

Fortunately, the history of China is full of miracles, which always gives people comfort. Recently, in the voluminous historical records, it was found that there were two generals in the middle Tang Dynasty, whose life style was very good, and virtue was superior to lust, which made Confucius stunned and opened his eyes. One is General Gao Chongwen. Gao Chongwen was born in 746 and died in 809. He was a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. People from Bohai (now Ning 'an, Heilongjiang) moved to Youzhou (now Beijing). He is simple and taciturn, and he has little experience in Pinglu troops. In Zhenyuan, he guarded Changwucheng from Han town, ruled the army by sound, and was tired of being a general. Tubo 30 thousand Kouningzhou, Chongwen led the troops to break it, and sealed the king of Bohai County with merit. In the first year of Yuanhe, Tang Xianzong's general Gao Chongwen was ordered to crusade against Liu Pi, the separatist regime in Xishu, and entered Chengdu all the way. Gao Chongwen An Lushan, rest foot soldiers, the market is not surprised. When expensive goods pile up, autumn flowers don't go wrong. Finally, he was captured and escorted back to the capital, and Shu was in Suiping.

Liu Pi has two concubines, both very beautiful. All the soldiers advised Gao Chongwen to accept it, but Gao Chongwen was unmoved by beauty and insisted on not doing it. Please present the army to the emperor as a reward. Chongwen said, "The son of heaven ordered me to be fierce and calm the people first. It is not the emperor's intention to dedicate beauty to charm! Chongwenyi is not for this. " So the two beauties were given to those officials who had no wives, and the soldiers believed in it. He who has a beautiful wife is even more happy that he can't find the north.

The other is general Li. Li was born in the third year (760) and died in September of the second year (826). From Zongyuan, the early years to the early years of Zongbao, Li served as Daizhou, Luozhou and Cishi, and served as an advisor to the imperial history. Militarily, Ren Zhongwu knew all about military forces and soldiers, and was loyal to our army. Our troops were stationed in Fengxiang, Xuzhou and Hedong, and acceded to the throne with Mu Zong. He acceded to the throne with Zhongshu, Jing Zong acceded to the throne, and worshipped Stuart. Li went to the western seas all his life, and he was brave and good at fighting, with outstanding achievements. In order to defend the Tang Dynasty and attack the forces of the buffer region, he risked his life and spared no effort.

In the 10th year of Yuanhe, Han Hong led the armies of Huaixi against Wu Yuanji. Among these generals, Li is the best at fighting. Han Hong wanted to win his heart, and found a beautiful woman in Daliang City (now Kaifeng City), taught her to dance, dance, silk and bamboo, and decorated her with pearls, jade and gold. And sent someone to send the beauty to Li's barracks. At that time, Yan Guang was holding a celebration party. The messenger sent this peerless beauty, which was a great surprise. Yan Guang calmly said to the messenger, "Xianggong (referring to Han Hong) pitied me for being left unattended in the army and gave me a beauty. I appreciate it. However, tens of thousands of soldiers of the whole army came to serve far away from home. Everyone cares about life and death, but I Li can't bear to entertain myself alone! " That is, give the messenger a generous gift at the dinner table and return a beauty. The soldiers were moved by the smell, and they expressed their willingness to work hard. Since Li won the title of general, three emperors, namely Xian Zong and He, all promoted his status and knight. I also gave him gold, silver, jewels, jade belts and other things, which was extremely glorious. After his death, he abandoned the DPRK for three days and gave it to Qiu and posthumous title as "loyalty".
