At this moment, Kou Zhun is also sitting there waiting, time is the key, at this time, he and his wife suddenly came, which can also show that he Yelu Longxu can't see his next layout, many times he looks very powerful not from the eyes, but from his essence, Kou Zhun is a very powerful character, and there is only one powerful character in the Three Kingdoms period, that is Xun Yu,. China has a history of thousands of years of feudal society, and the famous ministers under the imperial system are like eight immortals crossing the sea and showing their magical powers. Loyal ministers made a name for themselves in assisting the king in his duty and benefiting the world, but they often had a bad fate. Although their fate does not fully represent the whole picture of the ministers of Chinese feudal society, it is enough to feel the changes in Chinese history and the good and evil of human nature, and to understand how Chinese history has been shaped.

Kou Zhun died in a poor peasant family by the Wei River in Guanzhong Province. His father died when he was 17 years old, and he followed his mother to endure the hardships of the world since he was a child. When he was 19 years old, Kou Zhun rushed to Kaifeng to participate in the national examination presided over by Song Taizong. Under the hall of the palace examination, the young Kou Zhun faced Taizong's questions and answered them fluently, showing his outstanding talent. The emperor admired his intellect and uprightness, and admitted him exceptionally, when he was not yet 20 years old.

In the second year after Kou Zhun was admitted to Song Taizong, he went to Badong County, Sichuan Province to become a magistrate. Less than half a year after Kou Zhun arrived there, Badong County was politically harmonious and prosperous. The common people affectionately call the young Kou Zhi County "Kou Badong".

Song Taizong valued Kou Zhun very much, promoted him to Shangshu Yu Department Langzhong, Privy Council Straight Bachelor, presided over the assessment and selection of officials, and handed over the power of organization and personnel to Kou Zhun with confidence. Kou Zhun is not afraid of power and is not impartial. Invisibly, he offended a lot of powerful people. One day, he was hurrying to run an errand on horseback, when suddenly a man stopped his horse on the side of the street and shouted: "Hurray, hooray, hooray!" The matter soon reached Taizong's ears. Taizong was very angry and reprimanded: "I heard that someone shouted 'Long live' to you?" Kou Zhun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this must be someone framing me...... Taizong was still angry, and said: "Hmph! I heard that you were quite happy at the time, so you will go to Qingchuan tomorrow!"

Less than a year after Kou Zhun left the capital, the court became a pot of porridge. With a holy decree, Taizong recalled Kou Zhun back to the capital and worshiped him as the governor. Faced with the mess, Kou Zhun picked up the reform axe. This has harmed the interests of many in power. Soon, the old guard faction led by Feng Zheng and others formed an opposition camp and stirred up the imperial court all day long. At this time, Emperor Taizong was already old and showed signs of Alzheimer's disease prematurely, and he listened to slander and demoted Kou Zhun to the assassin of Dengzhou.

Two years after Kou Zhun was demoted to Dengzhou, Zhao Heng became emperor. After weighing it repeatedly, Emperor Zhenzong appointed Kou Zhun as prime minister, and Kou Zhun once again returned to the power center of the Song Dynasty.

In 1004 AD, the northern Liao army invaded the south, and five urgent documents flew to the imperial court in one day. Emperor Zhenzong was shocked, and the Manchu ministers were very frightened, and a group of surrenderers around the emperor advocated fleeing to Nanjing and Chengdu. Kou Zhun stood up and said angrily to the surrender faction: "Whoever comes up with the crooked idea of moving south for Your Majesty will be the sinner of the Great Song Dynasty through the ages." The Liao army is nothing to worry about, if His Majesty drives the expedition in person, he will definitely beat the Liao army back to his hometown. ”

Emperor Zhenzong nodded after listening to Kou Zhun's words and said, "You are right, I will personally drive the expedition, and I must send the Liao people back to my hometown!"

The Song army, under the command of Kou Zhun, won a series of great victories. On the front line of Lanzhou, the timid Zhenzong just didn't dare to cross the Yellow River, and Kou Zhun tried his best to persuade him: "Your Majesty, let's go!" Fighting against the water, I think back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, smashed the boat and leaked it......"

Shinshu said, "I know...... However, you can't believe everything written in the book, so don't smash my dragon boat!"

Kou Zhun brought Zhenzong to the north bank of the Yellow River. On the battlefield of the confrontation between the two armies, Emperor Zhenzong appeared on the tower of the north city of Lanzhou as if he had fallen from the sky. The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty saw the Yellow Dragon Imperial Flag from afar, and immediately cheers echoed dozens of miles away, and the Liao army heard that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was coming, and their fighting spirit collapsed at once. Kou Zhun commanded the Song army to attack, the Liao army fled in a hurry, the commander was killed by an arrow, and most of the officers and soldiers were captured. After that, Song Liao stopped his army, and the two sides signed a good-neighborly and friendly "Lanyuan Alliance".

The ministers who had advocated escaping were jealous of Kou Zhun's exploits and afraid that Kou Zhun would ask them about their crimes. They colluded with each other to oust Kou Zhun from power. They slandered the true sect and said, "Your Majesty, war has always been like gambling. Kou Zhun let His Majesty go to the front, in fact, he made His Majesty a bet. If the battle is lost, will Your Majesty still have his life?" Zhenzong, who was already suspicious of Kou Zhun, couldn't help but be angry, removed Kou Zhun from his position as prime minister, and let him go to Shaanzhou to become the governor. This year, Kou Zhun was 45 years old.

13 years later, the 58-year-old Kou Zhun was once again edicted by Zhenzong to return to the imperial court as prime minister. At this time, the Northern Song Dynasty was already full of holes. After Emperor Zhenzong had a cerebral thrombosis, Empress Liu took control of the government, and her brother did a lot of bad things. Kou Zhun was not afraid of power and put Empress Liu's brother to death, which was a great harm to the people. Empress Liu hated Kou Zhun to the core, and she colluded with her close minister Ding Wei inside and outside, and framed Kou Zhun many times, so that Zhenzong once again demoted Kou Zhun to Xiangzhou to be a assassin. But Queen Liu is still not sure. After Zhenzong's death, Empress Liu degraded Kou Zhun again and again, from the assassin history of Xiangzhou in Henan to Sima in Daozhou, Hunan, and then to Sihu in Leizhou, Guangdong to join the army, and exiled to a wilderness far away from the imperial court.

When Kou Zhun was 63 years old, he died of illness while joining the army in Leizhou. When he was dying, he was still looking out the window, and his son said, "Father, don't look at it, the court has long forgotten you!" Kou Zhun said: "I see if the sky is clear, it has been raining for several days, don't flood the people's crops!" 5599

In his more than 40 years of career, Kou Zhun has gone from "Kou Badong" to a direct bachelor of the Privy Council and a dignified prime minister. This life has been full of ups and downs, and in the end, he was demoted from a high place to a small Sihu to join the army. But his upright character and the spirit of asking for the people's lives have been immortal......

The reason why Ding Wei was able to make it to the list of ministers was just because of one person, he was the famous Lord Kou Zhun Kou who went down in history; And the fate in the meantime will be just because of a small thing, that is, the "whisker" incident that we are very familiar with.

Regarding the slippery whisker incident, it is recorded in the history books as follows: In the third year of Tianxi (1019), Kou Zhun came out of the mountain again after three ups and downs and replaced Wang Qinruo as the prime minister. On the same day as Kou Zhun worshipping the prime minister, Ding Wei was also promoted again and entered Zhongshu Province to become the governor (deputy prime minister). The two became colleagues and had a very close relationship. Kou Zhun recommended Ding Wei to Li Xin in the same year, who served as the prime minister, but Li refused. Kou Zhun asked the reason, and Li replied, "Look at him, can he be placed on the top of men?" Kou Zhun said: "For a person like Ding Wei, can the prime minister always suppress him from being subservient?" However, one day, the Central Committee convened the Supreme Council of State, and after the meeting, both Kou and Ding, who were members of the cabinet, attended the banquet. During the banquet, Kou Zhun's beard was stained with some rice and soup, and Ding Wei next to him saw it, got up and slowly brushed it off for him. This move is common sense and common sense among colleagues and friends. But Kou Zhun didn't think he was grateful, but straightened his face, sneered and said something that made Ding Wei unable to get off the stage: "Participating in politics, the minister of the country, is it for the official to whisk the beard?"

Now that I think about it, there are only two explanations for Lord Kou to say this: one is that Lord Kou thinks that Ding Wei is a politician, but he is not a proper person to make soup for others; The first is that Kou pretends to be big, and acts as a superior in front of colleagues whose status is slightly lower than him, intending to pose in public. The former is a traditional interpretation, and I think that the latter interpretation is more appropriate to the situation at the time in light of Kou's personality. If it is really unseemly, as a friend, Lord Kou should be more low-key and not have to make a big fuss.

Actually, speaking of which, Ding Wei is not the kind of person who likes to slap horses.

Ding Wei heard the words of his "friend" Kou Zhun, and immediately felt embarrassed, and since then he has held a grudge against Kou Zhun. In the later power struggle, Kou Zhun was finally defeated and driven to Leizhou.

So, why did Ding Wei appear on the list of ministers, but Kou Zhun was on the list of loyal ministers?

Let's take a look at Ding Wei first.

Ding Wei's regret may be the regret of modern people, and the regret of modern people is also Kou Zhun's regret.

Ding is the word, and it was later changed to the public language. A native of Changzhou, Suzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). Born in 966, he is a full-fledged imperial examination jinshi. Ding Wei was famous for his talent when he was young, and the famous writer Wang Yuyan was shocked when he saw the works sent by Ding Wei, thinking that since Tang Hanyu and Liu Zongyuan, there have been such works in 200 years. It is not surprising that the starting point of his career is so high that it makes people dizzy. In the third year of Chunhua, that is, when he first ascended to the Jinshi Jiake, he served as a Dali judge and a general judge in Raozhou, which is equivalent to a high-ranking official. Only a year later, he was transferred back to the central government, and went to Fujian Road (the Northern Song Dynasty abolished the "road" as a "road", which was initially set up for collecting taxes and transporting grain, and then gradually took on the nature of administrative divisions and military regions) to interview. After coming back, he wrote an investigation report on important issues such as local tea and salt, which attracted the attention of the emperor, and became a transfer envoy, which was equivalent to a festival envoy, and also served part-time as a judge of the three divisions. However, due to the tradition of factional struggle in the Song Dynasty, Ding Wei's career later had ups and downs.

Ding Wei's talent is actually far above Kou Zhun.

Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty recorded a story of "three battles in one fell swoop" in "Mengxi Writings", which is Ding Wei. During the auspicious period of Dazhong, the forbidden palace caught fire, and the pavilions and pavilions were burned. Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty ordered Ding Wei, the Duke of the Jin Kingdom, to take on the important task of post-disaster reconstruction and repair the palace. Ding Wei took the "digging ditch to take the soil, solve the soil source; Divert water into the ditch and transport building materials; waste soil to build ditches, dispose of garbage", ordered people to dig the streets into trenches to get soil, and then water into the trenches, so that the building materials outside the city through the waterway into the city, and after the houses are built, those trenches have become the backfill of the ruins and garbage, not only "saving hundreds of millions of square meters", but also greatly shortening the construction period. Such exquisite planning and careful thinking, even modern urban planners may not be able to imagine it, just look at the roads in the city and some people are eager to put a zipper to know.

Let's look at another big thing about him. After Ding Weiguan paid homage to the deputy prime minister, there was a rebellion of ethnic minorities headed by Wang Jun in Sichuan, and the central government successively recruited a large number of soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion, but they were all defeated by the rebels. When Ding Wei was ordered to go deep into the barbarian land, he actually pacified the rebellion with a bloodless force.

Kou Zhun has an upright character, and you can also see his strength, Yelu Longxu is also because he admires him, as a monarch, he also values Kou Zhun, he knows Kou Zhun's historical evaluation, his strengths and weaknesses He knows that he has weaknesses, Kou Zhun is not excluded, these can also see his own strength, an excellent talent is not seen from his face, Yelu Longxu's sudden arrival, can also show his strength, so this can also show his real cleverness, He is also uncomfortable now, after all, no matter what the purpose is to bow to Kou Zhun, but the real purpose is still to calculate the place where the Great Song Dynasty will win a greater victory, a real good show is far from over, the matter is not over, the game has just begun?
