Chapter 341: On the loyalty of disciples, the angry Wang Chen
Half an hour later, the carriage carrying Wang Shen and four others slowly arrived in front of the post house. "Hey, several distinguished guests have arrived at the post house. You can get off." The coachman pulling the reins said slowly. He said with a smile, and then helped several people out of the carriage one by one, sent a few people to the post house and handed them over to the postman before leaving. Before leaving, he also asked the postman to prepare hot water for them. Tea,
When Wang Chen was helped up the stairs by the postman, he continued to mutter: "I think that in terms of loyalty among disciples in ancient and modern times, there must be very few people who can surpass Zhao Dun's disciple Gongsun Chujiu. I also really want to recruit someone like him." Servant, it’s a pity that I keep asking for it but can’t get it!”
Gongsun Chujiu, a native of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period, was a disciple of Zhao Dun and Zhao Shuo and his son.
Gongsun Chujiu was Zhao Dun's most trusted retainer. Zhao Dun, also known as Zhao Xuanzi, was in charge of the state affairs of Jin for 20 years starting from the sixth year of Duke Xianggong of Jin Dynasty (622 BC).
Gongsun Chujiu was loyal and deeply trusted by Zhao Dun.
Zhao Dun handed over the management of the Tianyi in present-day Xinzhou to his disciple Gongsun Chujiu, thus forming the three Gongsun societies centered on Gongsun Chujiu's hometown, Lujiazhuang, namely the Zhongshe, the Eastshe, and the Westshe.
In the first year of Jin Jing's reign (599 BC), Zhao Dun died of illness, and his son Zhao Shuo succeeded him as the chief minister. Gongsun Chujiu became Zhao Shuo's guest. Because Sikou Tu'anjia hated the Zhao family, he planned and implemented the "Disaster in the Palace" that shocked the government and the public. He brutally killed more than 300 members of the Zhao family. Gongsun Chujiu was eager to protect his master and was determined to save the Zhao orphans.
Chujiu secretly discussed the plan to save orphans with his guest friend Cheng Ying. Chujiu asked Cheng Ying, "Which is more difficult, raising orphans or sacrificing your life?" Cheng Ying said, "It is easy to die, but difficult to raise orphans."
After hearing this, Chujiu said, "I am old, so I choose the easy one and leave the difficult ones to you."
So Chujiu took the fake orphan and hid it in Shouyang Mountain. Cheng Ying pretended to be a informant and revealed where Chujiu and the fake orphan were hiding. Tu'anjia killed Chujiu and the fake orphan together, and Cheng Ying took on the important task of raising the Zhao orphan.
Fifteen years later, with the help of Sima Han Jue of the Chinese Army, Tu Anjia was executed and finally took revenge.
Zhao Wu, an orphan of the Zhao family, inherited his father's title and land, but Cheng Ying chose to commit suicide to fulfill the agreement he had made with Chujiu. Zhao Wu was so distraught that he buried Cheng Ying and Gongsun Chujiu in his hometown. Zhao Wu was lucky enough to escape. There was the State of Zhao after that.
Guo Xiu also asked a postman to help him go upstairs to answer the call and said sarcastically: "Brother Chu Dao, I think my fortune in the Han Dynasty is more worthy of admiration.
After all, he is very good at judging the situation. When changing the lord, he can accurately choose when each lord is the most powerful. No one can match this. I also admire him.
If we can assess the situation in this way, no matter which country we are in, Wei, Shu, or Wu, we can prosper, what do you think, Brother Chu Dao?"
Wang Shensuo smiled for a moment and said: "Jifu is a very powerful villain, how can he be compared with the righteous Gongsun Chujiu? If we imitate that Jifu, we will be infamy for thousands of years."
Wang Chen reacted and said angrily: "Guo Xiaoxian, what do you mean by saying this? Are you saying that we are treason? This is also a helpless act for us. Besides, it is still a troubled time. Between the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, There’s no telling who will lose and who will win!” He was obviously trying to defend himself with some guilty conscience.
Ji Fu successively served as Dou Ying, Tian Fu, and was a disciple of Zhufu Yan when his power was at its strongest, and he was deeply trusted. When Zhufu Yan was killed, he was not afraid of the danger of sitting together to see his father off, and was given ""
"Old Man" title.
Ji Fu was a man with some eloquence. He initially persuaded Tian Fu to give the position of prime minister to Dou Ying, and also advised Dou Ying to take care of his interpersonal relationships. After Tian Fu became prime minister and gained power, Ji Fu went to Tian Fu's house and helped Tian Fu.
When he went to Dou Ying's house to ask for land, he was scolded by Mr. Guan as a "little man" and kicked out.
Ji Fu's first appearance was when Marquis Wu'an began to have ambitions to become prime minister.
At that time, Emperor Xiaojing of the Han Dynasty had died, Emperor Xiaowu had ascended the throne at a young age, and the Queen Mother was in power.
Wu'anhou is the half-brother of the Queen Mother. He is a relative of the royal family and has strong political backing.
The Queen Mother followed the strategies of Marquis Wu'an and his subordinates in everything. At that time, Marquis Wu'an was ready to take action and began to recruit talents and virtuous corporals in order to seize the power of Wei Qihou and other generals who were out of power at that time.
There happened to be an opportunity. At that time, the Prime Minister Wei Wan was dismissed from his post due to illness. Emperor Xiaowu wanted to re-appoint the two official positions of Prime Minister and Taiwei. Hou Wu'an's political ambitions expanded and he was ready to show off his talents.
According to general logic, as a subordinate of Marquis Wu'an, Ji Fu should instigate and wave the flag and shout.
One is to cater to the lord's heart, but also to have a good future for himself.
But at this time, Ji Fu stepped forward to cool down the Marquis of Wu'an, "Wei Qi has been noble for a long time, and all the people in the world have returned to him. Now that the general has just risen, he is not as good as Wei Qi. When the general is appointed as the prime minister, Wei Qi must be given up. Wei Qi
To be the prime minister, the general must be a Taiwei. A Taiwei and a prime minister are respected and have the reputation of giving way to the worthy."
Jifu asked Wu'an Hou not to be impatient and to retreat instead of advancing. This not only took care of the face of Wei Qihou Dou Ying, who had a higher prestige and reputation than Wu'an Hou at that time, but also won Tian Fu a good reputation as a respected virtuous man who gave way to the next step.
Lay a good foundation.
This move was very clever, and later facts proved that Jifu's predictions were very accurate. He could analyze the situation calmly, plan long-term goals, and would not be carried away by temporary agitation. He was a qualified retainer.
Ji Fu's second appearance was when Wei Qihou Dou Ying sat on the throne of prime minister, and went to congratulate him.
Facing the surging Wei Qihou, Ji Fu did not flatter him or flatter him, but pointed out the shortcomings of Dou Ying's character that he was too evil.
Therefore, to the prime minister, however, the ruler is ill and evil, and the evil people will also destroy the ruler. If the ruler can tolerate each other, he will be lucky for a long time; if he cannot, he will be destroyed now."
This passage is very good. Ji Fu not only praised the fact that Dou Ying was promoted to the prime minister because of his good deeds, but also suggested that he should not hate evil too much, which would lead to slander and revenge. Wei Qihou refused to listen, and the consequences were as Ji Fu expected, and he was defeated.
In the fight with Tian Fu.
In his third appearance, Ji Fu was ordered by Tian Fu to ask for Dou Ying's land.
Of course Dou Ying refused, and Dou Ying's most reckless man, Guan Fu, was also present. Guan Fu angrily scolded Ji Fu and made him unable to come to Taiwan.
As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on its master. At that time, Tian Fu's power was in power and Ji Fu was so insulted. He did not add fuel to the fire and provoke the leader to avenge himself like ordinary leaders and subordinates. Instead, he reconciled and persuaded Marquis Wu'an with good words.
"Wei Qi is old and will die. It is easy to endure and wait for him."
This quality of not bullying others is extremely valuable.
Ji Fu's fourth appearance was in a fight between Guan Fu and Tian Fu.
Guan Fu humiliated Tian Fu in public because of Dou Ying.
Tian Fu asked the cavalry general to stay with Guan Fu, which was said to be irreversible.
Ji Fu, as a retainer of Marquis Wu'an, did not add fuel to the flames, but "went up to thank him, and thanked him for the case."
Ji Fu actively mediates, calms down the situation, and avoids the situation of two tigers fighting. It can be said to be a wise move. However, Guan Fu is a reckless man and is determined not to bow his head temporarily. In the end, he will die and be punished by his clan.
But no matter how talented Ji Fu is, it can't change the fact that he is a slave with three surnames like Lu Bu in previous years. After all, he has taken refuge with three masters.
