Gu Yu also shifted his gaze from Zhang Ying to the upright city. After thinking for a moment, he said calmly: "So what if he is the son of the previous prime minister? I am not the eldest son yet, and many things are not related to me.
Why should you care about these things?
Since I can't be the prime minister like Zhou Yafu, I might as well live a more relaxed life and be with the people I care about. This Yizhou City will be very good to build."
Zhang Ying thought for a while and said doubtfully: "Zhou Yafu, who is that person?"
Zhou Bo's second son Zhou Yafu also became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He was a general and resisted the Xiongnu invasion during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
He was good at running the army and was praised by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he served as a chariot and cavalry general and quelled the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. With his merits, he became the prime minister and became a feudal lord.
However, his ending was very tragic. In the first year of the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he was unjustly imprisoned and committed suicide on a hunger strike.
When Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was dying, he told Prince Liu Qi, who was later Emperor Jing, "You can use Zhou Yafu at critical moments in the future. He is a general who can be used with confidence." After Emperor Wen's death, Emperor Jing made Zhou Yafu a chariot and cavalry general.
Not long after, King Wu Liu Bi joined forces with King Liu Wu of Chu, King Liu Xian of Jiaoxi and other seven countries to launch the banner of "Execute Chao Cuo and clear the emperor's side", and the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion broke out.
Zhou Yafu made great contributions in this process. However, he offended Liu Wu, the king of Liang, the younger brother of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. At that time, Liu Wu's rebels were attacking Liang State, and Liu Wu wrote a letter asking for reinforcements, but Zhou Yafu did not, and instead took
Although his strategy ultimately led to victory, it offended Liang Wang Liu Wu.
In the fifth year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Tao Qing retired due to illness, and Emperor Jing appointed Zhou Yafu as prime minister. It was also from this time that Zhou Yafu received important treatment.
However, Zhou Yafu was a military general with a hot temper. It was obviously a bit inadequate for him to be the prime minister.
Once, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty wanted to depose Liu Rong. Liu Rong was born to Li Ji, so he was called Prince Li. However, Zhou Yafu opposed it, and as a result, Emperor Jing began to alienate him.
Of course, Liu Wu was still very favored at that time, and he always spoke ill of Zhou Yafu, which cannot be ignored.
Later, only five Xiongnu generals, including Xu Lu, surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Jing was very happy and wanted to make them marquis to encourage other Huns to also submit to the Han Dynasty. However, Zhou Yafu disagreed, thinking that these people had betrayed the country. If they were granted the title of marquis,
If so, then there will be no way to punish these rebellious ministers in the future.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was very unhappy after hearing this: "The Prime Minister's words are pedantic and cannot be used!" Then he made those five people marquis. Zhou Yafu felt disappointed and simply resigned.
Later, one day, Emperor Jing held a banquet in which he was included. However, there was only meat in front of him and no chopsticks. Zhou Yafu was very unhappy, so he asked the steward directly for chopsticks.
As a result, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty said: "Don't this satisfy you?" This made Zhou Yafu very ashamed, and it was indeed true. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had indeed trusted him very much before.
Who would have thought that Zhou Yafu, who felt ashamed, left the table and left. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty looked at Zhou Yafu's back and said lightly: "This unhappy person is not the young master's minister!" This sentence means that he cannot assist the young master.
This statement is very obvious. Zhou Yafu has been excluded by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and has also been blacklisted.
The funniest thing is his son Zhou Yang. Seeing that Zhou Yafu was old, he bought 500 armor shields and planned to use them in his funeral when he died. However, this was expressly prohibited by the imperial court. As a result, he was discovered by others, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty sent someone.
Come investigate.
As a result, people who came thought that Zhou Yafu was going to rebel.
In fact, this matter is open to discussion, but Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was very dissatisfied with him, so he handed Zhou Yafu over to the supreme judicial officer Ting Wei for trial.
However, Zhou Yafu, who could not bear the humiliation, did not get the order of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and instead went on a hunger strike and died.
Lu Xun made great contributions to Soochow throughout his life. Internally, he first put forward the strategic thought of "it is difficult to achieve long-term goals without peace of mind", advocated vigorously suppressing bandits and rebellions within the country, advocated recruiting talents from all over the world, enduring humiliation and burden, and maintaining internal unity.
.
Externally, he participated in and commanded major battles such as the defeat of Guan Yu's attack on Jingzhou, the defeat of Liu Bei at the Battle of Yiling, and the defeat of Cao Xiu at the Battle of Shiting, and made great contributions to the consolidation and development of Soochow's power.
It is precisely because Lu Xun was resourceful and made great contributions to Soochow that Sun Quan valued and trusted Lu Xun very much.
After Liu Chan ascended the throne, Zhuge Liang assisted in the administration, and the Wu-Shu alliance was restored.
Sun Quan made Lu Xun fully responsible for handling the relationship between Wu and Shu. He even carved his own jade seal and placed it in Lu Xun's residence so that Lu Xun could do things easily.
Sun Quan placed his jade seal in Lu Xun's residence, which was actually equivalent to handing over his authority to others. This would have been absolutely impossible if he did not have enough respect and trust for Lu Xun.
On the eve of the Battle of Shiting, Sun Quan worshiped Lu Xun as the Grand Governor, and under the guise of Huang Yue, he commanded the Sixth Division and the Imperial Guards to take charge of the king's affairs. He also personally held a whip in front of him to clear the way for Lu Xun, and ordered all officials to kneel before Lu Xun.
After the war, Lu Xun was about to return to Jingzhou. Sun Quan specially arranged a grand banquet to see him off. Not only did he give Lu Xun his car cover, but he also ordered people to cover the gates where Lu Xun entered and exited the palace.
During the banquet, Sun Quan presented the skirt, hat, belt and fur coat that he wore to Lu Xun. He dressed it for Lu Xun himself and danced with Lu Xun. His honor to Lu Xun was unparalleled.
In the first year of Huanglong, Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor and worshiped Lu Xun as the Supreme General and Protector on the Right, ranking above the three Dukes.
In the same year, Sun Quan visited Jianye eastward and left the crown prince Sun Deng, the prince and nine ministers in Wuchang. He recruited Lu Xun as his guardian to go to Wuchang to assist the crown prince, take charge of the palace affairs left in Wuchang, preside over military and state affairs, and take charge of Jingzhou and Yangzhou Yuzhang.
Waiting for the affairs of the three counties.
Although Lu Xun was resourceful and won the respect and trust of Sun Quan, he also offended many powerful people due to his straightforward character.
In the Battle of Yiling, Sun Huan refused to listen to Lu Xun's instructions and fought with the Shu army's vanguard on his own, and was surrounded. The generals of the Wu army believed that Sun Huan was a member of Sun Quan's tribe and must send troops to rescue him. However, Lu Xun refused to send troops to rescue Sun Huan, saying:
"Sun Andong (Sun Huan, General Anton) has the support of the officers and soldiers, the city is strong, and there is sufficient food and grass. There is nothing to worry about. When my plan is fully implemented, even if I don't rescue him, his siege will naturally be lifted."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Xun refused to send troops to rescue Sun Huan, although it was for the sake of the overall situation. When Sun Huan saw Lu Xun after the war, he also said: "I did blame you for not coming to rescue me at first, but now
Now that the victory has been decided, I know that your plan has a good solution." But it is impossible that Sun Huan did not have a grudge against Lu Xun because of this.
In October of the first year of Huangwu, Lu Xun sent a petition to Sun Quan to persuade Sun Quan to show kindness, reduce punishments, relax the collection of land taxes, and stop the collection of household taxes. Sun Quan then ordered the relevant officials to write down all the legal provisions and sent his doctor Chu Feng to give them to Lu Xun and Lu Xun.
Zhuge Jin reviewed it and asked them to make additions and revisions.
Lu Xun advocated lightening the punishment, and the dignitaries might still agree with it, but his proposal to relax the collection of land taxes would affect the interests of the dignitaries. The dignitaries were forced by Sun Quan, and although they dared to be angry and dare not speak out, they were certainly resentful towards Lu Xun.
.
Sun Quan once ordered Lu Xun to teach the princes and princes. Sun Liu, the Marquis of Jianchang, liked duck fighting. Lu Xun immediately criticized him harshly and said: "The prince should read the classics diligently and increase his knowledge. What's the use of playing with these things?"
Sun Song, the captain of the Shesheng School, was the closest to Sun Quan among all the princes. He did not maintain military discipline. Lu Xun punished his subordinates to shave their heads in front of him and scolded him. Sun Song's face was very ugly, but Lu Xun refused to let him go and asked Sun Song
Said: "You didn't come to me many times to show your fault because of my vulgarity. I obeyed your intention and gave you good advice. Why did your face change color?"
Xie Jing, a native of Nanyang, was a guest of the prince. He praised Liu Zhen's theory of punishment first and etiquette second. Lu Xun scolded Xie Jing and said: "The rule of etiquette is better than the rule of punishment. This has been proved by history for a long time. It is completely wrong for Liu Zhen to distort the teachings of the sages with sophistry."
.Now that you are serving in the East Palace, you should abide by benevolence and righteousness and show your good words. There is no need to say anything like Liu Zhi's talk."
