Old?

Is Yuan Ang old?

Let's be honest: this is what I said when I said this, and I won today.

If someone else says 'you are old' to Yuan An, then even if Yuan Ang and this person do not die, no one will be surprised.

What age is Yuan Ang now?

——As everyone knows, in the first year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Jia Yi and Chao Cuo, two national-level heroes, entered the office, opening a great prosperous era of the Liu Han Dynasty and even Chinese civilization: the rule of Wenjing.

But few people have noticed: Yuan An, who also washed away the stain of 'Zhulu Yu' that year, and after a short pause under the protection of Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other old ministers, quickly devoted himself to Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's side, and was also only twenty years old at the time.

Twenty-seven years later, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen died, and Yuan An, who was forty-seven years old at the time, officially became the new monarch: the imperial eraser of the Son of Heaven.

Wu Chu has changed, Yuan Ang went to take a look;

King Wu rebelled, and Yuan Ang went to persuade him.

Even the matter of the 'imperial brother' provoked by Tianzi Qi himself was played by Yuan Ang in which he danced with long sleeves, which played an important and decisive role in dispelling this absurd idea for the Empress Dowager Dou.

So much so that later, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was vicious and almost killed Yuan Ang as the Jiuqing of the dynasty and assassinated him alive on the streets of Chang'an.

Then the first Xiaojing Emperor Liu Qi died, and Yuan An, who was fifty-seven years old at the time, officially became one of the few old ministers of the Three Dynasties around Ziqi today.

If you count the years when you were a guest to Lu Lu and a lackey to the Lu family, it is not too much of a problem to say that Yuan Ang is an old minister of the Four Dynasties.

And now, when Ziqi ushered in the second year of the new yuan after his accession to the throne, as for Yuan An, he was just fifty-nine years old.

In later generations, the age of fifty-nine may mean that Yuan Ang is about to retire, and he will soon be able to start taking his pension, and then grab the bus with young people in the morning and evening rush hours, and dance among the high-rise buildings.

But in this generation, for a man, especially a politician who is still active in politics and temples, fifty-nine years old can really be described as 'like a flower'.

There is no need to talk about others, just say that Zhang Cang, who was famous all over the world during the period of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, was a minister.

This Qin official, who was only three years younger than Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng and was born in the same year as Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, was appointed by the Qin court in his early years, that is, a librarian, mainly responsible for the 'Sifang documents', that is, document induction.

Before becoming the imperial history of Qin, Zhang Cang also studied under Xunzi Xunqing with the later Qin Prime Minister Li Si, Han Gongzifei and other historical figures who would only appear in the records of the Qing History.

After completing his studies in the Jixia School Palace opened by Xunzi in Qi State, and responding to the call of Qin Prime Minister Lü Buwei to enter Qin with his fellow disciple Li Si, Zhang Cang really started his dormant career, that is, his career as a librarian.

Eating the meager Qin Lu, he read the collection of books in the Shiqu Pavilion of Qin Xianyang Palace for free for more than ten or twenty years, until the first emperor Yingzheng was seriously ill and bedridden, and Zhang Cang fled for sin.

And in the year when the first emperor Yingzheng died in the sand dunes and the second emperor was established, Zhang Cang was already forty-six years old.

After returning to his hometown, after a period of time, the world's heroes rose up to attack the tyrannical Qin, and Zhang Cang also devoted himself to Pei Gong's account and followed Liu Bang to attack Nanyang as a guest.

It's a pity that Zhang Cang was beheaded for violating military law;

Just when Zhang Cang took off his robe in despair and lay on top of the torture instrument, just waiting for the end of his life when the knife fell and his head fell to the ground, the first person to change Zhang Cang's life appeared.

- Wang Ling.

Abundant and strong, Wang Ling, who is also a teacher and friend with Liu Bang, and at the same time is faintly disliked by Liu Bang, said with a smile when he happened to see that scene: Oops~

Look at this body, how tough and acquainted!

It looks more than eight feet tall and weighs more than four hundred pounds, right?

Not to mention this gourd seed-like fine skin and tender meat, I have never seen such a good man!

At that time, there was no suspicion between Liu Bang and Wang Ling, and when he heard Wang Ling's words, Pei Gong only raised his eyebrows slightly: Stay?

Wang Ling nodded with a smile and said: Stay, just because this person looks so good, it is already unbearable to kill him.

In this way, Zhang Cang was able to pick up his life under the knife of the Han military supervisor because of Wang Ling's 'appreciation', which was very likely to be suspected of being perverted.

At this time, Zhang Cang was nearly fifty years old.

Later, during the disputes at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the period of the Chu and Han dynasties, there was nothing to say - Zhang Cang's Marquis of Beiping', and the Marquis of 1,200 households, are enough to show that in that time interval, Zhang Cang was not willing to be a literati and strategist who shook his head.

In the fifth year of the later Han Dynasty, that is, the eighth year after the first emperor Yingzheng died in the sand dunes, Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, became the emperor on the bank of the Bishui River;

Later, Zhang Cang followed Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, to attack Zhao State, and personally captured Chen Yu and Zhao Di after being pacified, he guarded against border enemies with the position of acting as the prime minister of the country, and followed Liu Bang to attack Zang Tu and other meritorious achievements, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Beiping, with 1,200 households.

1,200 families no longer pay taxes to the king of heaven, but start to pay taxes to your family from generation to generation, which is very good, right?

Just these 1,200 households, Zhang Cang may not even be able to enter the first half of the founding fathers of the Han Dynasty!

After all, the lower limit of Chehou's food yi is also 500 households, which is nearly half of Zhang Cang's 1,200 food eups;

And most of the time, Liu Han Tianzi would not be so picky and would kill Chehou Shiyi in five hundred households, but would symbolically add one or two hundred households.

Correspondingly, it is the actual upper limit of the Marquis of Che's highest ten thousand households, and the theoretical upper limit that basically tends to be positive infinity.

——Chehou started with 500 households, during the founding of Liu Handing, and so far it has been capped at 10,000 households, and in the range of 500-10,000, Zhang Cang is only in the position of 1200.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say: in that brilliant era when the stars are shining, the capable people are like clouds, the bigwigs and giants are like the Qing who cross the river, and there are many people who are famous in history, Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, who has 1,200 households, is not ranked at all······

Xiao He: Zhang Cang?

Oh~

The accountant of our Prime Minister's Mansion~

It's okay, I'm quite familiar with government affairs, and I'm smart, and I can write and recognize, but I'm older······

···

Cao Shen: Zhang Cang?

It seems to be quite famous in the market, saying that it is a kind of Rausch 'counting'.

Hey, it's ridiculous.

A Confucian student actually hugged my Huang Lao's classics and said that he had learned a 'Dacheng'······

···

Wang Ling: Oh~

Zhang Cang~

Hey!

If you ask that, I'm excited!

I'm going to tell you how I saved this white and chubby little old man from Emperor Taizu Gao······

Just take pictures one by one, and twenty people will be discharged, and Zhang Cang's name will definitely not appear.

Even if Zhang Cang was once, he was the same brother of Qin Xiang Li Si and Han Gongzifei, and an outstanding disciple of Xunzi Xunqing, specializing in "Spring and Autumn";

Even if Zhang Cang had been a librarian in the Qin period for decades, he even retained most of the classics that were burned by Xiang Yu in that fire just by memory.

Even if Zhang Cang followed Liu Bang for the first time at the beginning, and never wavered from beginning to end, he still couldn't change this reality.

But in the end, Zhang Cang unexpectedly became the eighth prime minister of Liu Han Sheji within 50 years of the founding of the Han Dynasty, and it can even be said that he became the most outstanding and outstanding real power minister since the Han Dynasty and even in Chinese history.

And all this, Zhang Cang did not rely on Wen Taowu strategy, not nepotism, but the word 'boil'.

- As a history of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Cang survived all the Qin court monarchs and ministers he knew, including the first emperor Yingzheng, the second Hu Hai, and even the third son.

Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang was on the throne, and Zhang Cang survived the death of Han Prime Minister Xiao He; Emperor Xiaohui ascended the throne, and Zhang Cang survived the death of Han Prime Minister Cao Shen.

During the reign of Empress Dowager Lu, Zhang Cang survived his benefactor again: the tomb of the Marquis of Anguo, and then in the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of Taizong, he successively survived the death of Chen Ping, the Marquis of Biyang, Zhou Bo, and the Marquis of Yingyin.

Isn't there any other way for Zhang Cang to get what he wants and achieve the goals he wants?

——Zhang Cangcai is high, how is it compared to Li Si and Han Fei?

Didn't Han Fei, the genius of Tianzhong, also die in the hands of his senior brother Li Si?

Qin Xiang Li Si, wasn't he also killed by his partner Zhao Gao in the end?

——How is it compared to Xiao He and Zhang Liang?

Xiao He is the first hero of the founding of the Han Dynasty, the first marquis of ten thousand households in Chinese history, and was praised by Emperor Taizu Gao of the Han Dynasty as the epic logistics minister of 'Zhenguo and the people, giving gifts, and endless food, I am not as good as Xiao He'.

Such a person, didn't he also follow Taizu Liu Bang, and he didn't have time to show any grand ambitions?

Didn't he be forced to defile himself to save his life, and relied on himself to recruit blackmail, so as to dispel Liu Bang's suspicion that he had 'or different ambitions'?

As for Zhang Liang, let alone mention.

As a figure that does not seem to exist in the history books, but should appear in mythology, Zhang Liang's evaluation in Liu Bang's mouth is 'strategizing and winning thousands of miles away'.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Bang rewarded meritorious people for meritorious deeds, and gave other people marquis, all of which were thinking about it, picking and picking;

said that Hou Wanhu, the one who killed Xiang Yu, turned out that the five people who divided Xiang Yu's body equally together, but they were still 1,800 households away from 10,000 households.

On the other hand, Zhang Liang was pulled by Liu Bang's arm to Liuyi, pointing to the city wall and howling arrogantly: Are these 30,000 households enough?

If it's not enough, I'll move some more people for you, or just find you a bigger fief!

Such a favor, didn't he fade out of the court after Liu Han founded the country, and retired after the crown prince Liu Ying's position was stabilized?

As for Wu Xun, there is no need to repeat it.

Soldier Han Xin, the originator of guerrilla warfare Peng Yue, the ancestor of positional warfare Yingbu and others, Zhang Cang is not qualified to compare with others at all;

Even the close ministers around Emperor Taizu Gao, such as Zhou Bo, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying and others, all exploded Zhang Cang's unknown eight hundred streets.

But such a person can't compare with Li Si Hanfei in terms of ability, can't compare with Xiao He Cao Shen in terms of ability, and is not qualified to compare with those bigwigs in terms of force, and even the little shrimp who can't be ranked among the founding fathers of the country, but in the end he was in the Taizong Dynasty and the prime minister, and in one fell swoop contributed to the rule of Wenjing, which is famous in history.

Is it luck?

Perhaps.

But Liu Sheng is more inclined to understand it as: grasp the opportunity in front of him.

And a person, if he wants to grasp an opportunity, the first thing he needs to do is to survive, or even live until the opportunity appears in front of him - live until the moment when the opportunity beats the drum and passes the flowers, and it is his turn in front of him.

That's what Zhang Cang did.

At the age of forty-six, he sent away the first emperor Yingzheng, and at the age of fifty-four, he sent away the overlord Xiang Yu;

At the age of sixty-one, he sent away Taizu Liu Bang, and at the age of sixty-eight, he sent away Xiaohui Liu Ying.

At the age of seventy-six, he sent off the Empress Dowager Lu, and after more than ten years of hibernation, he successively sent away Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and other predecessors, and Zhang Cang was finally able to sit on the position of prime minister of Liu Hansheji at a young age.

The name of a generation of prime ministers is endlessly in history, and the merits of Wenjing Zhizhi cannot be erased from the merit book;

Even at the age of one hundred and three, Zhang Cang sent away Emperor Taizong Xiaowen!

At the age of forty-six, Zhang Cang, who experienced the death of the first emperor in the sand dunes, witnessed the sixth son of heaven of Liu Han Sheji and the grandson of Liu Bang, the emperor of Taizu Gao······

Zhang Cang is like this, he was just a big soldier during the founding of the People's Republic of China - at best, he can only be regarded as an elite monster, and Shen Tujia, the Marquis of Anzhenwu, is also a living example.

And in front of these seniors who are often seventy and eighty years old, and only ninety years old, Yuan An, who is now forty-seven years old, is really 108,000 miles away from the word 'old'.

——When Emperor Taizu Gao was forty-seven years old, he had just raised troops in Fengpei and started his great cause of resisting Qin!

It's just that in this generation, there is such a truth.

Your state is not up to you, not to others, or even to objective facts!

When the feudal emperor said that you were 'old', you had better be really old.

If not, what if you haven't lived enough in this life······

"The servant has worked hard all these years."

"If you want to leave office suddenly, there will definitely be reluctance and unwillingness."

"Since this is the case, then I will take the court and the hundred officials, and follow the servant to see what kind of achievements the servant has made in the past few years."

···

"- Taifu Ma Zheng, in the Chang'an generation, there are nine inner stables and sixteen outer stables."

"The inner stable is mainly responsible for the storage and care of the palace horses, and there is nothing to see."

"Well, let's go to the sixteenth middle school in the outer stable, the most admired stable in the market."

"By the way, you can also go to Lishan to see if the heinous sins of King Yingzheng of Qin have been forgiven by God······"

It was a very indifferent remark, but it caused the hundreds of officials and ministers in the palace to frown again;

The Li stable, or the Lishan stable, is a stable built during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, or a horse garden.

In the past few years, whether it is inside and outside the court or in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, in fact, because of the particularity of the word 'Lishan', they deliberately do not talk about the Lishan stable located at the foot of Lishan.

It's just that Liu Sheng is asking now······

Thinking like this, everyone cast their puzzled eyes on Yuan An, the servant in the court.

When he saw Yuan An's face, from the stunned when Liu Sheng said 'old', to the unwillingness after coming back to his senses, he gradually became eager to speak and stopped, and even broke out in a cold sweat······

"Yuan An, I'm afraid that I really caused trouble······"
