Leguang's talent and virtue are not worth his life
Unlike most of the Chinese and Korean celebrities who do what they want, Le Guang has not had good luck since his debut. Leguang's father Le Fang used to be Xiahou Xuan's army, Leguang's young and famous because of a chance encounter with Xiahou Xuan on the road when he was eight years old, Xiahou Xuan did not hesitate to praise Leguang's father, your son has a clear look, and he will definitely become a celebrity in the future, although your family is poor, but you must let him have a book to read, he will fight for you.
Celebrity reviews that others can't ask for, Le Guang encountered them at a young age. Originally, this was the proud capital of his leading contemporaries, but since Xiahou Xuan became a general of Zhengxi, his political life was almost over, and it was almost difficult to protect himself, so naturally he didn't have the time to take care of Xiao Leguang. Soon after the coup d'état in Gaopingling, all the former officials of Cao Shuang, He Yan, and Xiahou Xuan were politically purged, not to mention Le Guang, who had not yet appeared on the political stage.
Xiao Leguang's name is unprecedentedly embarrassing.
It was not until the reign of Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty that the revival movement of celebrities led by Yanghu and Shantao was in the ascendant, and the imperial court began to implement a policy of tolerance and unite the group of celebrities who had been beaten into the cold palace in the past.
But this time the job arrangement turned out to be strange. At this time, Yu Chun, Zhang Hua, Xiang Xiu, and He Qiao, who were anti-Jia Chong, and Jia Chong's cronies Yang Jue, Wang Sui, Hua Hui, etc., had already fallen out in the court, and the fight was inextricable. As a young celebrity with a pure background, Leguang is obviously closer to Zhang Hua and Heqiao. Pei Kai can promote him and keep him for his own use, or he can recommend him to Shan Tao, who is already the head of the organization, or send him to the Royal Bible Reading Academy, which is at the forefront of opposing Jia Chong. But Pei Kai gave Le Guang to Jia Chong, and Jia Chong smiled quite happily. At this time, he threw a little celebrity to the base camp of the Shigong faction, Pei Kai either wanted to promote the reconciliation of the two factions, or Le Guang would go to "lurk".
Regardless of either of the two, Leguang can't drink wine and eat meat like a typical Chinese and Korean celebrity. His celebrity demeanor can only be manifested in his temperament, but he must put an end to all the celebrity habits that may make Jia Chong look sideways. Even, in the era of advocating the mouth like a river, Leguang must keep his mouth shut, be sensitive to things and speak hard. Le Guang was very popular with Jia Chong, and after seeing him, Wei Qian (Wei Jue's grandfather) was surprised by the aura of the bamboo forest era and the Zhengshi era on him, and excitedly called several of his sons to admire Le Guang's demeanor. Chinese people have always been thick and ancient and modern, and being able to be evaluated by others as having an ancient style should be regarded as the most solemn praise.
No matter how good Leguang's goodwill or undercover work is, this appointment has inadvertently completely reshaped Leguang's character. Let Le Guang change from a debater with a legacy to a simple and elegant philosopher who only talks about the central idea and does not say a word of nonsense during the salon debate. Although Le Guang doesn't talk much, he is a first-rate debater with simplicity and complexity.
He once warned Xie Kun when they were stripped naked and drinking: "There is also room for you to be happy by following the etiquette rules, why make it so exaggerated!" ”
In short, Le Guang's complicated experience allowed him to combine the romance of celebrities and scholars with the prudence of politicians, and became another rare celebrity magistrate with good political achievements in China and North Korea.
During his time as an official, he didn't do anything, but after every time he left office, the people would miss him. Generally, the people who appear in history books with this kind of evaluation are all politicians of the old Huang faction, and they will all soar in the future, at least enter the Politburo of the Central Committee. For example, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Ji Di, who was still old, grasped major matters in the East China Sea, did not criticize small things, and slept at home every day without coming out to work. But a year later, Donghai County had excellent political performance, and as a result, he was quickly promoted to the Politburo, and was made a lord and a lieutenant by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and became one of the nine kings. Le Guang was also prosperous all the way, and was promoted to the Central Secretariat in Yuancheng because of his excellent political performance, and became a Chinese scholar, and later became a prince and a concubine. After that, probably at the request of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty to "maintain stability", he left the central government to work as the mayor of the capital municipality, Henan Yin, who took charge of the political work around the capital and ensured that the political struggle in the court would not destroy the stability and unity of the capital. Leguang's career is a typical way of local exercise, central promotion, re-training, and re-promotion. After Henan Yin, it is likely that he will have to take important positions such as the head of the organization when he returns.
But Leguang soon discovered that in this turbulent era, the reputation was too great for people to help themselves. So after a period of time in Henan Yin's tenure, Leguang wanted to retreat bravely, and according to the convention, he wanted to go to a "Let Henan Yin Table".
Wei and Jin celebrities have a consensus: talk chic, make books hard. Therefore, these celebrities are not as good as the scholars of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and they take closing the door to make notes and making the first priority in life. In China and North Korea, talking is just a fun item at a banquet or on an outing, not to mention spending more brain cells to write a book. When Le Guang was Jia Chong's secretary, he had a good relationship with Pan An, who worked in the same office. Pan An is a young man and a good secretary, who loves to write and draw. So Leguang said to Pan An, I don't know how to write articles, I'll roughly say something, you can write a "Let Henan Yin Biao" for me. As a result, this official document dictated by Leguang and recorded by Pan An was expensive in Luoyang for a while, and it became a famous article at that time.
It's a pity that the article anecdote is famous, but Leguang's worries have come true. Once again, his fame threw him into a situation where he was not human inside and out. In the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Zhao Wanglun killed Jia, and he supervised the Chinese and foreign military. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, ordinary officials who did "supervise all Chinese and foreign military" already controlled all military power, and if they added "Lu Shang Shushi", they were the State Military Commission and the premier of the State Council, which was on the verge of ousting the emperor from power. Later, Huan Wen and Xie An had reached this extreme, but their brains were clearer than Zhao Wanglun's, and they did not cross that boundary. It's just that Zhao Wanglun thought that his surname Sima had the capital to be the emperor justifiably, so after killing Jia Nanfeng, he abolished Emperor Jin Hui by the way, gave him the name of Emperor Taishang, and prepared to be the emperor himself. At this time, it is necessary to find a person with high moral standing and a good reputation in the court and the opposition to do the work of passing on the seal, just like the Zen position of the past dynasties, to prove that this new emperor is also virtuous and talented, and has great prestige and appeal. Zhao Wanglun glanced at it and chose Leguang.
There are also older ministers like Wang Rong, who may not be more suitable than Le Guang. Sima Lun must be happy this time, just waiting to see his jokes. Things have to start with the grievances between Empress Jia and Prince Huai. The reason why King Zhao killed Jia was that Jia Hou killed Prince Huai and cut off the dragon vein of their Sima family. But the person who instigated Empress Jia to abolish the prince of Huaihuai, and then instigated Empress Jia to kill the prince was Zhao Wanglun. Sima Lun didn't want to do such an extreme thing as killing his own family, and the original wishful thinking was that after Empress Jia abolished the crown prince, he would be the only one in the clan of the court, and he would inevitably monopolize power.
But Sima Lun was half right. Just as he began to monopolize power, the courtiers discussed a coup d'état in favor of the deposed prince. Sima Lun thought that once the crown prince was reinstated, it would be his turn to settle Empress Jia's accounts, so he had to keep doing it and instigating Empress Jia to kill the abolished prince. And this attempted coup d'état, the original plan was for a large number of courtiers to go to the prince to say goodbye to the prince in secret. Such a vote of people swaying in the capital is of course within the scope of Leguang's supervision. At that time, the captain of Sili School, Manfen, asked Leguang to arrest these people and escort them to prison, but Henan Yin Leguang just made a show and arrested a few, and then released them all. This incident was a sensation at the time, and it also made Sima Lun hold a grudge against Le Guang.
So Sima Lun seized the opportunity to be happy and good-looking: Aren't you very righteous? Do you do this seal thing?
Le Guang was very helpless to follow. It has once again proved that it is human nature to be afraid of hardship, tiredness, and death, and that saving one's life is much more important than political stance. However, without a position, it is easier to be forced into a thankless dead end, and Leguang's misfortune began, and finally Sima Yi and Sima Ying confronted each other across the city.
After Zhao Wanglun's failure to usurp the throne, Le Guang replaced Wang Rong as the head of the organization, but soon the capital was occupied by Sima Yi. Sima Yi was severely nervous when he confronted Sima Ying, and his suspicion was very serious, so he would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let go of one. Le Guang bore the brunt: Le Guang is Sima Ying's father-in-law.
A little bit of trouble, Sima Yi had to suspect Le Guang as the chief suspect, Le Guang finally couldn't help it, and vouched for Sima Yi: "Our family has five men in the city, but only one daughter is outside the city, how can I exchange the lives of five men for a daughter?" ”
Sima Yi didn't believe it, but often raided Le Guang's house, hoping to find one or two hidden spies. Finally, not long after, Le Guang died in worry and anger.
There is a saying that is very suitable for the situation of Leguang: to be an official, you must be virtuous and have opportunities. But in a troubled world, no amount of talent and virtue can withstand the unpredictable world.
