"Guo Ziyi has been reused by the emperor for many years, mainly because Guo Ziyi can help the emperor solve problems."

"Guo Ziyi went from supporting Tang Suzong to ascend the throne, to helping Tang Dynasty Zong to calm down the Anshi Rebellion, so that Tang Dynasty Zong returned to Chang'an, and after that, he was able to quell the rebellion in the border minority areas, it can be said that Guo Ziyi always has the ability to turn the tide and save the Tang Dynasty at a critical moment, so the emperor can always reuse him."

After Guo Ziyi put down the Uighur and Tibetan rebellions, he can be said to have become a "golden signboard" of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone in the world knows that Guo Ziyi has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. ”

In 774 AD, Guo Ziyi asked Tang Dynasty Sect to "retire", but Tang Dynasty Sect did not allow it. ”

Although Tang Dynasty did not let Guo Ziyi retire, Guo Ziyi had already put himself in a state of "retirement" at that time, in order to avoid the emperor being jealous of him. ”

"Because Guo Ziyi knows very well that if his power is too strong, he will be like An Lushan, which will eventually make the trust between the emperor and the courtiers lower and lower, and the final result will be that the emperor and the courtiers will turn against each other."

"Guo Ziyi is neither willing to stand on his own feet, nor willing to be killed, he can only endure."

"Guo Ziyi is very smart and tolerant, when Guo Ziyi was fighting the Tubo people on the front line, his family's ancestral grave was dug up by people instructed by Yu Chaoen."

"In the present, many people's ancestral graves are dug up, which is still a great insult to their own families, and in ancient times, the ancestral graves were dug up, which is a great insult to the family."

"But Guo Ziyi can endure such a shame and continue to maintain a good relationship with Yu Chaoen."

"In the end, Yu Chaoen was moved by Guo Ziyi's generosity, and couldn't bear to go to Guo Ziyi for trouble, in fact, Guo Ziyi also knew that Yu Chaoen was the emperor's direct force, and the reason why Yu Chaoen dared to do this must have been hinted at by the emperor."

"The emperor wants to see how Guo Ziyi will react through this matter, if Guo Ziyi directly arrests Yu Chaoen, then Guo Ziyi already has a heart of disobedience, and the emperor will prepare early, in fact, in addition to letting Yu Chaoen make things difficult for Guo Ziyi in every possible way, the emperor also personally "set up" Guo Ziyi. ”

"In the Tang Dynasty, there was an official position called "Shang Shuling", which was vacant all the year round, because Tang Taizong Li Shimin had done this official position, so, after Tang Taizong, this official position has been vacant, and no one dares to sit. ”

"But because Guo Ziyi has made great contributions, the emperor has nothing to reward him, so he has asked Guo Ziyi to take up the post of Shangshuling many times, but Guo Ziyi insists on not accepting it."

"Guo Ziyi actually knows that this is the emperor's test to see if he has a disobedient heart."

"If Guo Ziyi accepts the position of Shang Shuling, then the relationship between the emperor and Guo Ziyi will be difficult to maintain."

"In addition to Guo Ziyi's refusal to accept a higher status and low-key patience, he is also cautious and cautious in his life."

"Guo Ziyi never went out with many people, but only with one or two servants, just like the smallest official in Chang'an City."

"Guo Ziyi usually eats and dresses frugally, he is not only strict with himself, but also with his family."

"His wife and daughter only had a servant to take care of, and on one occasion, Guo Ziyi's son cried to him that their brother, the son of Guo Ziyi's wife's wet nurse, had been beaten to death by Du Yuhou for making a small mistake."

Guo Ziyi did not blame Du Yuhou, but blamed his son, he thought that his relatives should be strictly managed.

Another time, Guo Ziyi's son Guo Hua had a conflict with the princess, and Guo Wu said angrily: "Without our Guo family, how can there be a Tang Dynasty." ”

"After Guo Ziyi knew that Guo Hua said this, he immediately tied up his son and went to the emperor to ask for guilt.

"Tang Dynasty Sect did not punish Guo Yao, but Guo Ziyi went home and beat Guo Wu with dozens of canes as punishment."

Zhao Gou: Coward, my son was beaten and actually went to educate his son, I only know that the nest is horizontal, and such a big minister is actually a servant, what a wretch!

Zhao Kuangyin: Shut up the hell Lao Tzu, did the deer that Zhao Gao was holding kick your brain, Guo Ziyi, how can he dispel the emperor's concerns about him if he doesn't do this, brainless thing, Miss Zhang continued.

Cao Cao: Haha! This is something that my ancestors can't even see!

"Under Guo Ziyi's repeated modesty, patience and concession, Guo Ziyi finally enjoyed her old age and died of a serious illness at the age of 85."

"After Guo Ziyi's death, he received very high treatment, and Tang Dezong posthumously awarded him as a Taishi and deserved to enjoy the temple."

"After Guo Ziyi's death, his children were also reused by the emperor, and in the late Tang Dynasty, the Guo family has also been prosperous."

Qin Shi Huang: This is called true wisdom!

As soon as I say that the hero of the "Anshi Rebellion" must be Guo Ziyi, and how Guo Ziyi got to this point, I must say that the martial arts champion at that time must be said at the beginning. ”

"In fact, Guo Ziyi, who was born in a family of scholars and doctors, participated in the martial arts imperial examination when Wu Zetian was in charge of the world, and entered the official career as a martial champion."

Tang Taizong: Didn't you say that Wu Zetian ruled the country with literature? Is the imperial examination also a literary examination?

"There is nothing wrong with this, when Wu Zetian first came to power, he emphasized literature over military force, carried out a major purge of the military circles, and replaced all of them with his cronies."

"But the result of this is that the combat effectiveness of Wu Zhou's army has declined sharply, and it will soon face a sharp increase in the pressure of border defense, and the foreign war will also be a complete defeat."

Later, Wu Zetian was anxious, in order to select military talents, improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and meet the needs of defending the border and foreign wars, she hurriedly issued an edict in 702 A.D. to "teach people to learn martial arts", and promulgated the examination method, the martial arts system was established, Guo Ziyi participated in the scientific examination during this period and won the first place in the championship. ”

"Although Guo Ziyi won the martial champion of Wu Zhou, the highest official position is only to be the deputy protector of Anxi and Beiting."

"In addition, the Wu Zhou regime was not long in time, and he was forced to retreat by the civil and military ministers who supported Li Tang, and the power returned to Li Tang, so Guo Ziyi was a useless hero in the Wu Zetian period, and it is estimated that Wu Zetian's impression of Guo Ziyi was also forgotten with the shelving."

But Wu Zetian never expected that Guo Ziyi, who participated in the martial arts examination under her rule and won the first place in one fell swoop, became the most promising martial artist in the ancient flower planting country! ”
