In fact, Zhang Zhao is in front of Gu Yong and is more famous than Gu Yong. For reasons you know, let's too. Not only him, but several others have also conceded. The old ones have other opinions, they all blame those historians, they are all hypocrites - you can't say that, it's too big to say that the blow is too big, it should be said: there are few who are not hypocrites.

…… ……

Gu Yong (168-243), a native of Wu County, Wu County (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). During the Three Kingdoms, he was an important minister and politician of the State of Wu. "Tang Huiyao" rated Gu Yong and other eight people as "Eight Gentlemen of Wei and Jin".

Out of the human ministers, there must be outstanding teachers.

Gu Yong's teacher was Cai Yong (yō

g）。

Gu Yong's great-grandfather, Gu Feng, was the Taishou of Yingchuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When Gu Yong was young, he worshipped Cai Yong as his teacher and learned to play the piano and calligraphy. He is quick-witted, quiet and single-minded, and his art industry is progressing, and he is deeply loved by Cai Yong. Cai Yong gave it a name. Therefore, Gu Yong has the same name as his teacher Cai Yong ("Yong" has the same sound as Cai Yong's "Yong"). Because he was praised by the teacher, the word "Yuan sigh".

Later, he was recommended by the state and county, and when he was weak, he served as the mayor of Hefei, and successively served as the county magistrate of Lou, Qu'a, and Shangyu, and he had achievements everywhere.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Sun Quan comprehended the Ji Taishou, and when he did not go to the county, he took Gu Yong as the county and acted as the Taishou, and Gu Yong sought to get rid of the thieves, making the county boundary quiet, and the officials and the people were subservient. A few years later, he entered the shogunate of Sun Quan as Zuo Sima.

In the first year of Huangwu (221), Sun Quan was the king of Wu, Gu Yong was appointed as Dali and Fengchang, and he received the Shangshu order and sealed the Yang Sui Township. After Gu Yong was sealed, his family didn't know about it at all, and they were surprised when they heard about it later.

…… ……

In the fourth year of Huangwu (225), Gu Yong welcomed his mother to Wuchang in Wu County. After arriving in Wuchang, Sun Quan personally congratulated, worshiped his mother in court, and the ministers attended the banquet, and the later prince Sun Deng came to celebrate.

Gu Yong's mother is the old woman mentioned in this article.

In 225, Gu Yongdu is 57 years old, how old the do you say? Isn't it an old woman?

Judging from various materials, you can associate Gu Yong's mother with Jia Mu in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", the Tai Tai and the old fat lady who was supported by a little maid. There are not many words, and when she says it, she is very hurried, and the old lady who is still smiling slightly.

Gu Yong obviously, doesn't drink, is silent, and behaves appropriately.

Sun Quan once sighed: "Gu Jun doesn't speak, as long as he speaks, he will be in the middle of his words." ”

When the ministers were drinking and feasting, everyone was afraid that their drunken gaffes would be seen by Gu Yong, so they didn't dare to enjoy themselves.

Sun Quan also said: "Gu Gong is sitting down, so we can't be happy. ”

He's awe-inspiring to such an extent.

In the same year, he was reappointed as Taichang, entered the Marquis of Liling, and soon became the prime minister and Pingshang on behalf of Sun Shao.

…… ……

After Gu Yong became the prime minister, he imitated the governing methods of the early Han Dynasty, and when choosing civil and military generals, he must choose competent ones, and never choose them based on personal preferences. And once assigned, he will entrust them wholeheartedly.

He often visited the people, collected advice, and secretly dismissed Sun Quan. If it is adopted, it will be attributed to Sun Quan; If it's not adopted, don't say it.

Sun Quan valued him very much because of this.

However, he made statements and suggestions at the court, and although his words and expressions were deferential, he adhered to the principles of integrity and unyielding.

Sun Quan consulted the government on the gains and losses, and Zhang Zhao took the opportunity to state the opinions he had collected, thinking that the laws and regulations were too strict and the punishment was too heavy, and that there should be some derogation.

Sun Quan was silent when he heard this. He turned around and asked Gu Yong, "What do you think?" ”

Gu Yong replied: "What the minister heard is what Zhang Zhao said. ”

As a result, Sun Quan discussed the reduction of the sentence in prison.

…… ……

At that time, the generals stationed on the front line offered strategies to defeat the enemy, Sun Quan asked Gu Yong about this, and Gu Yong replied, "The ministers think that they are all for their own selfish interests and fame, so they should not listen." ”

Sun Quan respected and trusted Gu Yong very much, and whenever he had a problem, he would send Zhongshulang to consult him.

Whenever Gu Yong agreed with Sun Quan's opinion, Gu Yong would invite Sun Quan's secretary to dinner, study the problem thoroughly, and then send the secretary away; If Gu Yong disagrees with Sun Quan's opinion, then he will not invite guests and not talk much, so that Sun Quan will know that his opinion needs to be improved.

Therefore, after Sun Quan sent the secretary to consult Gu Yong, he didn't ask the secretary: "What did Gu Gong say?" Instead, he asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

In his later years, Sun Quan favored the cool officials Lu Yi and Qin Bo, and appointed them as Zhongshu, in charge of reviewing the documents reported by various governments and prefectures and counties. As a result, Lu Yi and others gradually became powerful, so they began to build institutions to sell alcohol, levy taxes at the pass to make huge profits, report the sins of others, and report small matters to the imperial court, and then aggravate the case to frame, slander the minister, and exclude and frame innocent people, Gu Yong and others have been reported by them, and have been condemned for this.

Later, Lu Yi's evil crimes were exposed and he was detained in the Tingwei Mansion. Gu Yong went to hear the case, and Lu Yi saw Gu Yong as a prisoner, Gu Yong and Yan Yuese, and asked him about the words of the lawsuit. Before leaving, he said to Lu Yi again: "Do you have anything else to say in your heart?" ”

Lu Yi just kowtowed and had nothing to say.

At that time, Shang Shulang Huaixu scolded and humiliated Lu Yi in person, and Gu Yong criticized him and said: "The government has a clear decree, why bother? ”

…… ……

The emperor messed up the generations: Gu Yong's granddaughter is Sun Quan's niece, as for what this woman is called, how she became the niece of Emperor Sun Wu, there is no statement in the historical books, in short, this woman is not very old, spanning three generations of the Gu family.

This is the woman in our chapter.

This is the information revealed in the literature that Gu Yong "taught his son well".

What is said is that Sun Quan wanted to marry this niece, and invited Gu Yong's father and son and grandson Gu Tan (Cao Shangshu, the highest-ranking candidate at the time) to the wedding banquet. At that time, the monarchs and ministers were very happy, Gu Tan was drunk and drunk, drunk and danced, and could not stop it, Gu Yong was angry, so he had to wait for tomorrow.

On the second day, he summoned Tan to reprimand him in person, saying:

"The king is virtuous to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and his subordinates are to be respectful and prudent. Xiao He, Wu and Han all made great contributions back then, but when they saw Emperor Gaozu, they were as if they couldn't speak.

"Do you have any credit to the country? It's just that he relied on the qualifications of our Gu family to be favored! Why did you dance so proudly, although it was out of drunkenness, in fact, it was still a bad idea of forgetting gratitude, and not being modest enough, it seems that the person who ruined my family must be you!"

After speaking, he turned around and lay down against the wall, ignoring Tan no longer, Gu Tan repented and stood aside, and it took him an hour (two hours) before he was sent away by his grandfather.

…… ……

In November of the sixth year of Chiwu (243), Gu Yong died at the age of seventy-six.

When the illness was a little mild, Sun Quan ordered the imperial physician Zhao Quan to diagnose it, and asked Gu Yong's youngest son Gu Ji to be the captain of the cavalry.

When Gu Yong heard this, he said sadly: "Zhao Quanshan don't die, I must not be able to get up, so Your Majesty wants me to see Gu Ji alive!" ”

After Gu Yong's death, Sun Quan wore filial piety clothes and went to the mourning hall to pay respects, and was called Suhou.

His son Gu Ji was the lord, and Gu Ji had no queen, so after Gu Ji's death, the heir of the country was cut off. In the first year of Yong'an (258), Sun Xiu issued an edict to Gu Yu as the Marquis of Liling.
