Chapter 284: Half of the Treatise on Ruling the World - Zhao Pu

[Tuoba Tao ordered Cui Hao to preside over the compilation of national history.

Although Tuoba Tao said that he wanted to seek truth from facts, when he saw the "Chronicles of the Kingdom" engraved on the stone, which actually recorded the history of the Tuoba clan's early years of killing, violence, and fornication, he was still carried away by anger, and killed Cui Hao without saying anything, and also destroyed Cui Hao's nine clans.

It's not that no one reminded Cui Hao to be careful, because Tuoba Tao went from the edict to restore the Buddhists to the laity to the wanton extermination of the Buddha, and Cui Hao was behind it.

Most of the Xianbei Tai and the nobles believed in Buddhism, and they were helpless against Tuoba Tao who issued the edict, so they poured their resentment on Cui Hao.

After Cui Hao took power, he "wanted to rectify the products and distinguish the surname", which raised the Han family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but was strongly dissatisfied by the Xianbei nobles, and was a fuse away from Cui Hao's death. 】

[If it is said that the destruction of Buddha and the improvement of the status of the Han nationality are still beneficial to Tuoba Tao, exposing the scandal of Tuoba clan's past, it can be said that Cui Hao is killing himself.

Although Cui Hao has the demeanor of a great talent, his emperor is not as magnanimous and elegant as Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, Cui Hao not only lost his dignity before he died, "since the slaughter of the division, there is no one like Hao", but also affected the in-laws of the same clan, no matter how far or near the Cui clan of Qinghe, plus the in-laws Fan Yang Lu, Taiyuan Guo, and Hedong Liu, all sat down and wiped out the clan. 】

Li Shimin shook his head and muttered to himself: "I can only say that Cui Hao is not a lady, after all, there is only one emperor like me." ”

The corners of Wei Zheng's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and he muttered, "That's right, Your Majesty and I are just mutually fulfilling." ”

Cui Hao sighed deeply and said, "A certain person once boasted that he had calculated his destiny, but he couldn't count that his death time had come. Alas."

[He compares himself to Zhang Liang, repeatedly offers strange tricks, calculates no last resort, and makes great contributions in the journey of unifying the north, as a Han man, he actually became a figure above 10,000 people in the Northern Wei Dynasty established by the Xianbei people.

But in the end, Cui Hao was carried away by success, got carried away, made enemies on all sides, and ended up with a tragic death.

He calculated everything, but he didn't calculate his own end.

He used the ups and downs of his life to tell the world: It's okay to be proud, but don't get carried away.

To sum up, Cui Hao ranks eighth among the top ten strategists in history, and deserves his name. 】

"Cui Hao's fate is embarrassing"

"How beautiful it used to be, how miserable it was in the end, you really can't get carried away as a man."

"But this Cui Hao is really powerful, almost every word is true, step by step from a low position to a position above 10,000 people under one person."

"So what, it's not like the Nine Clans were razed in a word"

Cui Hao has achieved the ultimate of being a human minister, but he forgot that there is an emperor on his head who can take away everything from him at any time, including his life.

After all, Cui Hao misestimated his own importance, as well as the emperor's patience and ruthlessness.

In the midst of the discussion, Cui Hao's bound figure in the light curtain gradually disappeared, and then the figure of the next inventor appeared.

[Hello everyone, welcome to watch this short video: Inventory of the Top Ten Strategists in Chinese History! ] 】

[Maker: Su Qian]

[The seventh of the top ten strategists in Chinese history: half of the treatise on ruling the world, the founding hero of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu! ] 】

After Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhao Pu's name, he immediately clapped his hands happily and said, "I know that Zhao Pu will definitely be on the list!" Although I didn't make it to the celebrity list, the last strategist list was still very good! ”

[Zhao Pu, the word Zeping, ancestral home of Youzhou Jixian County, great-grandfather was the commander of Sanhe County at the end of the Tang Dynasty, grandfather Zhao Quanbao, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he served as Sima of Xuanzhou, and his father Zhao Zhen was Sima of Xiangzhou in the fifth generation.

In the post-Tang Dynasty, Zhao Dediao, the main general of Youzhou, fought for many years, his family and country were restless, and Zhao Zhen was unbearable to the war, so he moved to Changzhou, and then moved to Luoyang.

Zhao Pu has been a very distinctive person since he was a child.

When he was 10 years old, his father, Zhao Zhen, asked his husband to teach him diction and counting in order to gain the skills to survive, but he had no interest in learning at all.

Zhao Zhen blamed Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu said that it was useless to learn these in troubled times, and if you want to learn, you must learn the skills of assisting the master.

Zhao Zhen felt that what Zhao Pu said was quite reasonable, so he asked someone to teach him to learn the art of pre-Qin vertical and horizontal.

However, Zhao Pu was also not interested in this, saying that it was a sophistry technique used by the world's priests to deceive people and plot to obtain wealth, but strangely, he couldn't put down the "Analects" and spent all day thinking about it. 】

[After the death of Song Taizu, Zhao Kuangyi became the emperor.

Others think that Zhao Pu only read the "Analects" all his life, and he did not learn and did not know how to do it, so it was inappropriate to be the prime minister.

Zhao Kuangyi asked Zhao Pu if this was the case, and Zhao Pu replied: I rule the world with half of the Analects.

This is also the origin of "half of the treatise on language to rule the world". 】

[As an adult, Zhao Pu is taciturn, and his behavior is often unexpected.

When the Wei clan of Zhenyang heard his name, he praised him after meeting him: "Here Wang Zuozhi is also talented!" So he took the initiative to marry his daughter to him.

I have to say that this Wei family's vision is really vicious, Zhao Pu assisted Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to establish the Northern Song Dynasty, and also became the prime minister of the three dynasties, which can be described as a real Wang Zuozhicai. 】

"Yo, this old man actually became the prime minister of the three dynasties, not bad!" Zhao Kuangyin laughed and praised.

[As we all know, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is the second era of great division in Chinese history (the first is the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms), in order to survive and develop, Zhao Pu said goodbye to his wife and went out to roam the rivers and lakes.

But the ideal is often very plump, but the reality is often very skinny, and Zhao Pu, who went out to wander, was quite unhappy at first.

In order to make a living, Zhao Pu once worked as a tutor, as a bookkeeper, and as a pen-bearer under a general's curtain, but he didn't work long.

Later, he simply became a jobless vagrant, and wandered in the rivers and lakes for fifteen years. 】

[It was not until the first year of Guo Wei Xiande (954 AD) that Liu Ci felt that Zhao Pu was still a talent, and asked him to do his own work (that is, a staff), and Zhao Pu's life basically settled down.

After settling down, Zhao Pu took his wife and child to reunite with him, but just two years after a peaceful life, Liu Ci fell ill and died.

Fortunately, Liu Ci was good to his subordinates, and before he died, he wrote a letter of recommendation, asking the court to appoint Zhao Pu.

But at that time, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was busy fighting in Chuzhou, and he didn't care about dealing with this kind of thing. 】

[But the opportunity soon came to Zhao Pu's side.

That day, Zhao Pu, who was bored, was drinking in an inn outside Chuzhou, but it didn't take long for Zhao Kuangyin to bring a group of subordinates over to drink.

As soon as Zhao Pu saw Zhao Kuangyin's dignified appearance and inhuman appearance, he had the heart to get acquainted.

So he shouted loudly to the small officer sitting next to Zhao Kuangyin, and he sat next to him.

At this time, Shi Shouxin came over and wanted to sit next to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu said that this person could eventually be the envoy of the festival and could sit together. 】

[Zhao Kuangyin, who was originally looking for talents to build a team and wanted to make a career, was very interested after listening to what Zhao Pu said, and felt that this person was not simple, so he made an appointment to find another time to interview.

The two met another day to talk, and they really became close friends who talked about everything.

Zhao Kuangyin claimed to be Liu Bei and praised Zhao Pu as Zhuge Liang, and Zhao Pu also took advantage of the situation to plan a strategic decision for Zhao Kuangyin to seize military power and plan a great cause. 】

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "Later generations always take my eldest brother and Kong Ming as an example, it seems that my eldest brother and Kong Ming have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" ”

After a while, Guan Yu put away his smile again and said to himself: "I will be able to get out of Jingzhou soon, I must tell my eldest brother all this and help my eldest brother dominate the world!" ”
