261 "Yuanzhi", not "Angelica" 262 "The Ancestor"
wrote about "Jiang Xu's Mother", and thought of another person surnamed Jiang and his mother, this person is Jiang Wei.
"Yuanzhi" and "Angelica" are two flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, and the mother and son use the two flavors of Chinese medicine to convey their thoughts, which are rumored to be a thousand-year-old story.
…… ……
According to the records of "Three Kingdoms", Jiang Wei's father Jiang Jian died in battle very early, and Jiang Wei and his mother depended on each other. This young man is both civil and military, and he is very famous in the local area. At the same time, he is also very ambitious, unwilling to be an ordinary obedient citizen, and intends to establish fame.
In the sixth year of the Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty (228 AD), Zhuge Liang launched the first Northern Expedition, commonly known as "a out of Qishan".
At the beginning of the battle, Zhuge Liang's army was progressing smoothly, and soon troops were in the Tianshui area where Jiang Wei was inaugurated.
At that time, Tianshui Taishou Ma Zunzheng went out to inspect, and Jiang Weihe and the county gong Cao Liang Xu, the main Yin Xian, the main secretary Liang Qian and others accompanied him. After hearing that Zhuge Liang was about to lead an army to attack and that the counties and counties were responding, Ma Zun immediately left Jiang Wei and the others and fled to Shangqi (guī) alone.
When Jiang Wei and others found out that Taishou Ma Zun had left and rushed to Shangtai City to ask to enter the city, Taishou Ma Zun suspected that Jiang Wei had different intentions and ordered the soldiers to close the city gate and prevent Jiang Wei and others from entering.
In desperation, Jiang Wei and the others could only return to Ji County.
Unexpectedly, the officials of Ji County did not let Jiang Wei and others enter.
Jiang Wei and others were desperate and could only defect to their opponent Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang saw Jiang Wei, he was really amazed and decided to cultivate this young talent.
Within a few days, including Tianshui County, which belongs to Ji County, Nan'an and Anding and other three counties responded to Zhuge Liang one after another, causing Cao Wei to be strongly shaken.
Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming immediately sent the general Cao Zhen and the left general Zhang He to meet the battle.
In the Battle of Jieting, Zhang He defeated Zhuge Liang's vanguard Ma Tan and captured the strategic location of Jieting, forcing Zhuge Liang to abandon the three counties of Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding that he had just captured and retreated to Hanzhong, and Cao's army quickly recovered the three county areas.
When the Shu army fully retreated, Zhuge Liang did not send someone to pick up Jiang Wei's mother as stated in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". On the contrary, Jiang Wei's old mother still stayed in Tianshui, and Jiang Wei, who had surrendered to Shu Han, had no time to go to Ji County to pick up his mother, so he could only leave his hometown Ji County with Zhuge Liang's army and come to Hanzhong.
Mother and son are on their own side from then on.
…… ……
After Zhuge Liang's army withdrew to Hanzhong, Cao's army quickly captured Jiang Wei's family, who were still in the city of Ji County.
However, there was an unexpected result on the issue of how to deal with it: everyone thought that Jiang Wei's surrender to Shu was a last resort, and that Jiang Wei had no intention of betraying in the first place. Therefore, Jiang Wei's family was not convicted for this, but only placed them under residential surveillance.
For Jiang Wei's mother, she lost her husband in middle age, and it was easy to raise her son to his twenties, but he ran away to the enemy country, of course, it was unfortunate. She doesn't care who is good and who is evil between Shu Han and Cao Wei, but her son is always the meat of her mother's heart.
Later, when I heard that Jiang Wei had become a general in Shuhan, my mother wrote a letter to Jiang Wei and wanted Jiang Wei to come back.
Of course, we can also speculate that this letter may have been arranged by the local authorities of Wei. Then, it can't be written so directly, so Jiang's mother wrote "angelica" in a letter to her son.
After Jiang Wei read his mother's letter, he thought about it for a long time, and wrote a letter back to his mother, explaining that he had made up his mind to attach himself to Shu Han.
Jiang Wei said in his reply, "A hundred hectares of fertile land, not one acre; But there is ambition, not in angelica. ”
Jiang Weixin's "Yuanzhi" is the same as his mother's "Angelica", both are medicinal materials, and they are both puns.
One is to let the son go back to fulfill his filial piety, and the other is to tell his mother that he has great ambitions, and loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. The mother and son have a long artistic conception, but their respective mentalities are really different.
However, the separation and separation of family members caused by war has always been an eternal pain. This regret is irreparable both in Jiang's mother and in Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei said so and did so. He has been an official in Shu Han for more than 30 years, which has surpassed Zhuge Liang.
After mastering the military power in the later period, he made many northern expeditions and fought with the Wei army. Even at the juncture when Deng Ai and Zhonghui's armies were pressing the border and Shu Han was destroyed, he still did not hesitate to use the trick of surrender to set off a great rebellion in Zhonghui.
In the end, the strategy failed, Jiang Wei's family was killed by the Wei army, and Jiang Wei himself was disemboweled, and his courage was like chicken eggs.
Jiang Wei never saw his mother again.
262 Mother of the "Father."
Next, there is "The Mother of the "First Lord".
…… ……
In historical books, Liu Bei is usually referred to as the "first master".
Regarding Liu Bei's mother, there are very few introductions in the historical books, and there are only two lines of words, "The ancestor is less lonely, and he is engaged in weaving mats with his mother." ”
Liu Bei was nominally a member of the Han family, but the living conditions at that time were very bad, his father died very early, and the family was very poor, so he could only make a living by selling straw shoes and straw mats.
Originally, people were poor and short-minded, Liu's mother thought about it, although selling straw shoes and straw mats could not make a fortune, but it was also a craft, so let Liu Beizi inherit his mother's business, do this small business in the market with peace of mind, marry a wife, give birth to a bunch of sons, and his mission as an elder will be completed.
Probably the average person thinks so. However, Liu's mother is not an ordinary person, she believes that knowledge can change fate, in all kinds of difficulties, and even when it is difficult to eat, when Liu Bei was fifteen years old, "mother makes learning", and it is not just thrown into a school, let Liu Bei fend for himself, on the contrary, she found a first-class teacher for Liu Bei, Lu Zhi.
Therefore, we have reason to presume that Liu's mother is not an ordinary country woman, and an ordinary country woman can have such a long-term vision?
…… ……
Who is Lu Zhi? Lu Zhi's famous works in the sea, learning as Confucianism, a model of scholars, and a leader of the country!
He was a man of the year in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, his teacher was the Eastern Han Dynasty Confucian Ma Rong, he and the Confucian Zheng Xuan were the same brothers, and those who wanted to worship Lu Zhimen must be like a carp crossing the river.
It can be seen that Liu's mother must have taken great pains to worship Liu Bei in order to worship Lu Zhi's door; Some people say that it is not necessarily Liu Bei's mother's meaning, it should be the credit of Liu Bei's uncle Liu Zijing, or Liu Yuanqi, the same ancestor.
But we must face the reality, "the mother makes learning", it is very clear that it is Liu's mother who asks Liu Bei to study hard. And Liu Yuanqi just volunteered to fund Liu Bei's food and tuition.
Moreover, after further analysis, Liu Yuanqi and his wife were still very unhappy, and Liu Yuanqi said perfunctory to her, saying that Liu Bei is a terrible child, not an ordinary child, and he will definitely do big things in the future.
Do you think that painting cakes with an ordinary woman and saying high-sounding words can convince her? No. However, Liu Yuanqi's wife doesn't seem to continue to be on the pillow, or forcibly ask Yuanqi to stop funding, among them, Liu's mother must have given Liu Yuanqi some compensation, such as helping her family fetch water and cook or something.
Don't think it's a joke, even now, in a family, those with poor family backgrounds often work for those with good family backgrounds.
We know that at the age of fifteen, it is adolescence, a period of rebellion, and if it is not disciplined properly, it is likely that the future of the child will be greatly affected.
We can assume that a person like Liu Bei, who is more extroverted and has a more violent temper, is likely to become an old boy if he does not keep up with his education at this stage.
Because, "the ancestors were not very fond of reading, but liked dogs and horses, music, and beautiful clothes." ”
The above words cannot be completely said to be derogatory, in current words, it can only show that Liu Bei is a person with more taste, that is, a person with a petty bourgeois temperament.
There is no problem with having taste and petty bourgeoisie, the problem is that Liu Bei's family is poor, if there is no good guidance, Liu Bei will have to find ways to get money in order to pursue taste and petty bourgeoisie, then it is likely to go down the wrong path.
But we saw that Liu Bei didn't, which can't help but show that a good mother and a good teacher have a good exemplary role.
The cultivation of Liu Bei's overall character, I think, should be the period when he studied at Lu Zhi.
Some people say that Gongsun Chan also studied at Lu Zhi to see what kind of person Gongsun Chan was in the end.
Here, it must be said that Gongsun Zhan's reputation in the early stage was also very good. In addition to Liu Bei's natural personality and firm beliefs, Gongsun Chan lost too quickly in success, comparing the growth history of Liu Bei and Gongsun Chan, we can see that Liu Bei is very tortuous, while Gongsun Chan is smooth sailing.
Is it wrong to succeed too quickly? From a certain point of view, there is a danger, and if the person concerned is not aware of it, then once this danger is magnified, it will eventually be hopeless.
When Liu Bei was fifteen years old, Liu's mother could have kept him by her side and helped her sell straw shoes and mats to make ends meet.
However, Liu's mother believed that "knowledge changes fate", and resolutely let Liu Bei learn from Daxian.
We can boldly assume that without the experience of studying at Lu Zhi, there would be no later Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei.
Why? Although Liu Bei is talented, benevolent and righteous, has a good moral character, and is good at making friends, but from the point of view of current marketing, if you are good at wine, you are afraid of deep alleys, if no one appreciates you, how can you spread your wings and fly high?
Or say: Our Uncle Liu Huang is an authentic Han family relative.
Yes, but at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were more relatives of the Han family, and in the troubled times, there were more people who wanted to pull a banner and become kings.
Who are you, Liu Bei, why should we serve you?
However, we see that Liu Bei's reputation is very good. Kong Rong's attitude towards Liu Bei can be seen Liu Bei's reputation among celebrities.
Kong Rong was trapped by the Yellow Turban Army in the fourth year of Chuping, and sent Tai Shici to Liu Bei for help, Liu Bei was very surprised and said: "Kong Beihai knows that there is Liu Beiye in the world!" ”
That year, Kong Rong was 41 years old and famous at home; Liu Bei was 33 years old, a small prince, in the Central Plains at that time, Liu Bei was just a small firefly.
A well-known person at home will pay attention to a small firefly, why is that? It's no wonder that Liu Bei himself was taken aback and flattered.
Let's analyze: Kong Rong's most admired person is the master of scripture Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan is the apprentice of the great Confucian Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan also has a senior brother, his name is Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi once accepted a student, his name is Liu Bei, the word Xuande.
Kong Rong knew that Liu Bei was Lu Zhi's student, so when Kong Rong was in danger, the first person he thought of was Liu Bei.
Liu Bei didn't say a word, and took the only 3,000 soldiers and horses on hand to rescue Kong Beihai, and succeeded!
Kong Beihai and Tao Qian in Xuzhou have a good relationship, so when Tao Qian was bullied by Cao Cao, he wanted to find a helper, one of the candidates was Liu Bei, Liu Bei didn't say a word, took all his army, and gathered some hungry people, a total of thousands of people, killed Xuzhou, and succeeded!
Liu Bei's reputation started from saving Kong Beihai, and went back to the source, without Lu Zhi, Kong Beihai would not have thought of Liu Bei, and even Liu Bei himself did not expect that Kong Beihai would recognize him.
We can boldly guess: Kong Rong must have gotten all kinds of information about Liu Bei from Lu Zhi, a celebrity like Kong Rong has a stinky temper, you can let him die, let him bend over and bend his knots, and go to others casually, there is no door!
Kong Rong chose Liu Bei to come to the rescue, he felt that he had not lowered his identity, it can be seen that Lu Zhi must have packaged and promoted Liu Bei as a positive model.
A good teacher plays a huge role in the development of a person's career!
Another person who helped Liu Bei a lot was Gongsun Zhan. When he was a student, Gongsun Chan should have been a character like Chao Gai, and Liu Bei was only Song Jiang at best, on the streets of Zhuo County, younger brothers like Jian Yong and Zhang Fei wanted to be called Liu Bei's eldest brother, and Liu Bei still had to call him eldest brother when he saw Gongsun Zhan.
After graduation, we said that there is still a deep tradition of classmate love in China, everything is difficult at the beginning, Liu Bei's own arm, has not been able to become a scale, only after defecting to Gongsun Zhan, only to stabilize the foundation, and then develop step by step, Gongsun Zhan to Liu Bei, a classmate and younger brother, can be said to be interesting enough.
It's just that Gongsun Chan broke Hu Nu and begged for the Yellow Turban, and his career developed very smoothly, so Gongsun Chan also transformed very quickly, especially when he killed Liu Yu, who had a good reputation, and his reputation fell to the bottom instantly.
"After three years of goodness, few people know; For an evil day, it is heard in the world. ”
So probably not long after this, Zhao Yun and Liu Bei left Gongsun Zan one after another.
No matter what, Gongsun Chan still helped Liu Bei, and the reason why Liu Bei and Gongsun Chan had such a good relationship was that they were classmates.
- These are all in Liu Bei's mother's mind.
It can be seen that Liu Bei's mother's credit, although it is only a short four words "Mother makes learning", contains Liu Bei's mother's perseverance and great personality and the ardent expectation of her son Jackie Chan. It is precisely because of Liu Bei's mother's courage that under very poor conditions, she still tried her best to get Liu Bei into Lu Zhimen, which made a perfect stroke for Liu Bei's youth, and then affected Liu Bei for most of his life.
In this world, there is only one woman, she is willing to pay for you, but never wants anything in return from you, she is your mother!
