Chapter 131: If you want to be good in the world, it is better to summon Kou Lao
[Zhang Juzheng, as the first assistant, has extremely huge power, and his corruption and power games have become a place that has been criticized by later generations, and he has also left many controversial places.
But this could not completely obscure his contribution to the Ming Dynasty, because it was his reforms that allowed the Ming Dynasty to breathe a breath of relief, achieve a short-lived recovery, and slow down the pace of decline.
When he died, the later Shoufu abolished Zhang Juzheng's reforms in order to cater to the emperor, and the Ming Dynasty began to decline again.
Zhang Juzheng ranks tenth among the top ten famous ministers in history, and he deserves his name! 】
After Zhu Yuanzhang read Zhang Juzheng's final evaluation, he asked himself: "Corruption, greed for power. If this guy is in our time, I'm afraid he won't survive the second video. However, this Zhu Yijun can't tell the difference between good and bad, and only cares about venting personal grievances, and he is indeed not a good emperor. ”
Indeed, with Lao Zhu's murderous nature, if Zhang Juzheng dared to act like he did in the Wanli Dynasty during the Hongwu period, the killing would be light, and he would probably have to die in the end.
Zhu Di also has concerns, the civil official group is already very difficult to deal with, otherwise he would not reuse the eunuchs to achieve the purpose of balancing the court.
"This Zhang Juzheng's merits are too high, and the power is too great, and any emperor will be suspicious.
It's just that even if Zhang Juzheng has a lot of inappropriateness, this Wanli Emperor should not be completely denied, and the bad influence can be removed, but these quite effective reform measures should be retained. ”
Other emperors basically thought the same way: "Zhang Juzheng's reform measures are good, but his person is still up for debate." ”
After all, no emperor likes to raise a minister who is more powerful than himself, isn't that purely uncomfortable.
Daming Jingshi, Emperor Wanli and others saw a live video broadcast hanging high in the air, like a miracle.
Although I don't know who this "Su Qian" is, he can "inform" Zhang Juzheng's merits and demerits to the world by such unpredictable means, at least it shows that he is not an idle person.
"Go and find this Su Qian for me!" Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun hates this kind of high-minded and righteous person the most, just as he hates Zhang Juzheng, who always accuses him.
"Your Majesty. This Su Qian has the unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods, so we still have to be careful! Someone stood up and persuaded Zhu Yijun.
With a disdainful smile, Zhu Yijun asked, "Hmph! Just pretending to be a ghost, aren't you afraid of him like this? ”
"This" The ministers looked at each other, and it would be false to say that they were not afraid.
After Zhang Juzheng's video was played, it was the turn of the next one, that is, the ninth-ranked celebrity.
I saw that the light curtain gradually dimmed at first, and then when the picture lit up again, a portrait of an old man full of righteousness appeared in the center of the light curtain.
At the same time, a poem appeared next to his portrait,
[Forty years of wealth. Wandering in the haze, walking like flat ground. In the Purple Mansion Dantai Immortal Book, everyone knows that they are unique and beautiful. 】
[Who dares to compare with each other. The colorful phoenix wanders and bathes in the water of Xun Pond. A great man has made great contributions to the world, fragrant the world's songs and plums. 】
Unlike the poems of the previous emperors or fierce generals who were written by later generations, this poem "Butterfly Loves Flowers: Forty Years of Wealth" was written by the old man in this portrait.
This poem is about the life course and achievements of a successful official.
The first sentence "Forty years of wealth and wealth" shows that the protagonist has made remarkable achievements in officialdom and enjoys a rich status.
The next few sentences describe the hero's proud career, wandering in the fairyland-like haze, with a relaxed step. also said that his talent is not only praised in the world, but even the heavenly Zifu Dantai knows that he is incomparable, and he has a style of his own, which is somewhat narcissistic
Later, when writing about the successful people in the officialdom, the poet showed the noble status of the protagonist through "who dares to compare with each other", and he was full of arrogance.
However, he is not only a seeker of power, but also pays special attention to his own cultivation and temperament.
In the poem, "the colorful phoenix wanders and bathes in the water of Xunchi" describes that the protagonist bathes his body and mind in the natural beauty and enriches his spiritual world.
The last sentence "A great man has contributed to the world, and the world is fragrant with peaches and plums", which is a high praise for the hero's achievements.
His career is not just a personal pursuit, but a matter of the world, and his achievements are brought to the world. At the same time, his personality charm and moral demeanor have also been widely praised in the world like the fragrance of peach and plum.
In general, this poem mainly shows the protagonist's officialdom success and personality charm, full of pursuit and yearning for meritorious work, and at the same time wants to express his noble personality and moral demeanor.
[Although this poem seems somewhat narcissistic, on the whole, it is relatively true to write about the author's own situation. 】
"Huh! Is this guy boasting about himself? It's so cheeky."
"I know that this poem was written by Kou Zhun, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty. I have to say that this Kou is exactly worthy of this poem! ”
"If you want to be good in the world, it is better to summon Kou Lao! If you want me to say, this poem written by Kou Lao is just a true introduction to his own achievements and ideals. ”
In the midst of everyone's discussion, the title of this video appeared in the picture,
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the top ten famous photos in history! ] 】
[The ninth of the top ten famous ministers in history: Kou Zhun of the Northern Song Dynasty! ] 】
[Maker: Su Qian]
[In the first year of the Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao opposed the Tang Dynasty and became independent, hoping to become the emperor.
However, judging from Shi Jingjiao's strength at that time, his move was undoubtedly self-defeating.
Moreover, what no one expected was that in order to become the emperor, he actually took a move that made future generations resentful, that is, he took the initiative to become the son of the emperor of Liao, and ceded all the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao state in the north in exchange for the support of the Khitan.
From this time on, the power of the Liao State increased dramatically, even to the point where it could directly threaten the Central Plains regime.
Later, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms ended, and Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, established the Song Dynasty, but the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun still failed to fully recover.
However, at this time, Song Taizu actually hoped to take back this important strategic zone, but he wanted to sweep away Hou Shu and Hou Tang successively in line with the policy of "easy first and then difficult" and "south first and then north", but the result was not as smooth as he imagined, let alone time to deal with the northern regime. 】
[In the period of Zhao Jiong of Song Taizong, a far-reaching war broke out, which was known as the "Yongxi Northern Expedition" by history.
Unfortunately, the war ended in a crushing defeat for the Song Dynasty, and it was from this time that the Song Dynasty began to take the initiative to avoid the war, and the Liao gradually increased the frequency of southward invasions. 】
Speaking of Song Taizong, even Zhao Ji couldn't help but complain: "Alas, Taizong is still overconfident, he doesn't have the military command talent like Taizu, but he insists on being strong."
After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, the emperor adopted the policy of "emphasizing literature over military force".
Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, established the country with literature, took back the military power of the generals, and prevented the recurrence of the secession of feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty.
However, under such circumstances, Song Taizong still insisted on going his own way, causing the Song army to suffer crushing defeats in successive wars.
The consequence of this was that officials, civilians, and even the army began to doubt their own combat capabilities, and gradually lost confidence in the Liao State's war, which was also the beginning of the "Great Rebellion".
