Speaking of Dongfang Shuo, many people may ask, who is Dongfang Shuo? Dongfang Shuo is also called Dongfang Manqian. Perhaps people do not know him very well, and perhaps some people's impressions of him mostly stay in the cynical and comical characters rendered by various novels and folk tales.
In fact, he was also a relatively powerful strategist in history, but there was no Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi's great reputation was particularly familiar to people.
In 2002, there was a TV series called Huang Xiaoming's "Han Tianzi", which included Dongfang Shuo, played by Teacher Chen Daoming.
In this TV series, Dongfang Shuo and Liu Che are friends of Mo Rebellion, before Liu Che ascended the throne, the two were acquaintances, and even when Emperor Wu of Han was able to ascend the throne, they all had a huge relationship with Dongfang Shuo.
Dongfang Shuo is very elegant and resourceful, but sometimes it is also very cute and makes people feel easy to get close to, and can hide in the world and tell fortunes for people. He can also assist Tianzi and give advice.
In this drama, there is a woman named Nian Nujiao, in fact, the historical prototype should be Chen Ajiao, the result of the screenwriter to make these two people into an IP, and finally he took Nian Nujiao back to the hidden mountain forest, away from disputes, do not ask about the world.
The impact of this drama is still very dramatic, after all, at the beginning of the two thousand years, television was the main entertainment tool for people, and almost all TV dramas had a good response.
However, a TV series is a TV series, and he cannot represent history, let alone solidify a historical figure with the image in the TV series.
After Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, in order to recruit talented people in the world, he deliberately issued a similar order to seek merit, as long as he was admitted, he could become an official, in the era when there was no imperial examination in the Han Dynasty, it was difficult for ordinary people to become officials, and celebrities in the world wrote to state their political views.
Dongfang Shuo was naturally also among them, those who wrote books, in order to let the emperor read his own things, all wrote very short, only Dongfang Shuo did the opposite, the first time he wrote to Emperor Wu of Han three thousand pieces of bamboo Jane, pulled a carriage, to the palace, the eunuch picked a whole ten cartons.
After Emperor Wudi of Han read it, he thought it was a lot of people, but the eunuch said that a person named Dongfang Shuo had written a book, and Emperor Wudi of Han was shocked at that time. Is it an unborn master?
Therefore, he was very attentive to Dongfang Shuo's shangshu, but it turned out that where was the big man, he was simply a braggart.
It turned out that in the book, Dongfang Shuo did not directly govern the country, but wrote a self-recommendation book for himself in a humorous style, saying how good he was, he began to read at the age of thirteen, and when he was sixteen years old, the reading volume had reached 220,000 words, and he wrote that he was handsome and a million fans, and felt that he should be suitable for being a great Han courtier.
Emperor Wudi of han estimated that he read it as a novel, and it was enjoyable to read it, and he watched it for two months, thinking that the Oriental Shuo was extraordinary.
Later, he became a regular attendant and often accompanied Emperor Wu of Han.
Dongfang Shuo's most powerful thing is guessing, the Han Dynasty has a game called shooting, hiding a thing in a jar, let people guess, Han Wudi once hid a gecko in a jar, Dongfang Shuo guessed that this thing is either a gecko or a lizard, Han Wudi listened, it was really powerful.
People say that Emperor Wu of Han "deposed a hundred families and exalted Confucianism", in fact, this is also a misunderstanding, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who is not superstitious is not a good emperor, he prefers Dongfang Shuo, who can pinch and calculate. Dongfang Shuo was also favored by Emperor Wu of Han for this reason.
In history, Dongfang Shuo was also a very interesting person, for example, when Emperor Wu of Han rewarded him with something, the general ministers would let the subordinates move back or drag them back with a carriage. But he carried it back on his own, paying no attention to the image.
In terms of love, Dongfang Shuo is not so specific in the TV series, and it is said that Dongfang Shuo likes the beautiful women in the capital very much.
In terms of personal behavior, there is also a cynical attitude, when Dongfang Shuo was eating in the palace, he encountered delicious food, and if he did not eat enough, he "packed" it into his sleeve and secretly took it home.
The most interesting thing is that once, Dongfang Shuo drank too much in the palace, and even urinated in the main hall, so he was also reduced to a commoner.
The funny thing about Dongfang Shuo is that Li Bai hundreds of years later regarded him as an idol, and therefore wrote a poem that "the world does not know Dongfang Shuo, and the Great Hidden Golden Gate is who is immortal".
In fact, if you read it in detail, this poem has a profound meaning, and Li Bai wants to express that Emperor Wu of Han favored Dongfang Shuo, but he did not appreciate him very much. Dongfang Shuo to Emperor Wu of Han was equivalent to Li Bai to Li Longji. Li Bai also said his status at that time through Dongfang Shuo, which shows that Dongfang Shuo is not only a who immortal, but also a person with lofty ambitions.
As a close vassal of Emperor Wu of Han, Dongfang Shuo later became an official to the taizhong doctor, but in history, he did not leave any flaunted political merits, which is also a sadness.
Of course, this does not show that Dongfang Shuo is useless, since ancient times to accompany the king such as the companion of the tiger, especially with the Han Wu Emperor such a Ming Jun, Dongfang Shuo took advantage of the identity close to the Han Wu Emperor, often observed the color, to persuade the Han Wu Emperor.
It can be said that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty was able to make such amazing achievements, which was related to the fact that people like Dongfang Shuo were around in the early years.
After the death of Dongfang Shuo, Emperor Wu of Han was surrounded by some courtiers like Jiang Chong, and the result also led to the faintness of Emperor Wu of Han in his later years.
When Dongfang Shuo was dying, he also advised Emperor Wu of Han: "The Book of Poetry says, 'Flying flies fall on the fence.' Gentlemen of kindness and kindness, do not listen to rumors. There is no end to the rumors, and there is no tranquility in the Quartet's neighbors. 'May His Majesty stay away from those who speak flattery and rebuff their rumors. "
This is because Emperor Wudi of Han was accustomed to hearing Dongfang Shuo's improprieties and went so far as to say, "Now Dongfang Shuo is speaking so seriously."
People say that people are good at dying, and it is probably said that Dongfang Shuo is like this, and soon after persuading Emperor Wu of Han, Dongfang Shuo died.
Although Dongfang Shuo did not have the title of Marquis of Worship and was not reused in his lifetime, his name was still passed down from the Western Han Dynasty. There are also five of his sayings in the Zizhi Tongjian, and it can be said that Dongfang Shuo is a wizard of the ages.
Although Dongfang Shuo has a strange personality, behaves differently from ordinary people, and is still hidden in the dynasty, what he wants in his heart is still the Qi family ruling the country and the world. The so-called establishment of a life for the heavens and the peace of all the worlds are most appropriately used on him.
In his lifetime, Dongfang Shuo read poetry and books from an early age, and then heard that Emperor Wu of Han had recruited sages, so he came to the capital with full political ambitions, hoping to be appreciated by the Son of Heaven. He was then left idle at the Bus Office, and later tried to get close to the emperor, and was finally recognized as an official. And then I've been able to do it all the way to the Middle Doctor.
In the end, Dongfang Shuo suddenly found that he was just an advocate for the pleasure of the Heavenly Son. Emperor Wu of Han only regarded Dongfang Shuo as a courtier who could amuse him, never reused him, never regarded him as a minister who could listen to advice.
Small hidden in the wild, hidden in the city, large hidden in the dynasty, this is the ancient philosophical thought, and The Oriental Shuo has achieved the great concealment in the dynasty. Although Dongfang Shuo did not realize his political ambitions, he was able to hide in the dynasty, indicating that he was a man of great wisdom. Even if he later realized his place in the emperor's heart, he did not allow himself to degenerate.
Although People have mixed opinions about him in history, it is true that he has political ambitions and wants to benefit the people. Moreover, according to the records in the history books, it can be hidden in the dynasty, and it can be said that Dongfang Shuo is also a person with great wisdom.
