Wang Meng, the first person of Gong Gai Zhuge Ge, leisurely heaven, how thin than me

Talking about the famous chancellor in ancient China, most people probably think of Zhuge Liang, in order to repay the favor of the former emperor, he bowed down all his life, and after his death, he was touched by the tragedy of his autumn wind and five zhangyuan, "Bright, can no longer be in the battle to beg for thieves, to restore the Central Plains", just so-called, "before the master died before he died, the hero was full of tears", even if there were a thousand words in his heart, there was finally only one sentence left, leisurely heaven, how thin it was for me.

The character we want to talk about today, his life is very similar to Zhuge Liang, known by posterity, the first person to cover Zhuge Ge, he is the former Qin Cheng Xiang, Wang Meng.

Wang Meng (王猛), courtesy name Jingluo, was a Native of Shouguang, Shandong, (like Zhuge Liang, who was born in Shandong, and Zhuge Liang was a native of Yinan, Shandong), a politician and military figure in the Former Qin Dynasty. Wang Meng was born into poverty, but he was tall and handsome, tall and mighty, a big handsome man in today's words, and he was good at reading military books from an early age, not only good at strategy and the way of war, but also a good martial art. When he was a teenager, Wang Meng moved to Hebei to escape the chaos of war, the whole family moved to Hebei, in order to support his family, he was young in grade to sell dustpans for a living, once encountered a person who wanted to buy his dustpan, but did not bring money, asked Wang Meng to go to his house to get money, the young man was really bold at that time, and he was stupid to follow. As a result, he was taken to the mountain to see an old man, and Wang Meng saluted the old man, and the old man said, "Prince, how can you worship me?" He also bought the dustpan for ten times the price, and it was obvious that the old man was a hermit who paid attention to the treasures of ji shicai.

Wang Meng lived in a chaotic world, and his freedom witnessed the displacement of the people, the destruction of lives, the war raging, the land of China full of devastation, and he himself lived in fear, with his life, he was steady and resolute from an early age, his temperament was extraordinary, and he made great ambitions, he must help the Lord to determine the world, save the people and suffer, even if this road is doomed to no return.

And Wang Meng soon met the nobleman who appreciated him in his life, Dong Jin Yonghe and Ten Years. The famous Eastern Jin Dynasty general Huan Wen's Northern Expedition defeated Jian Jian's army in the northern expedition, and for a while there was no difference, Guanzhong's father and common people all brought wine and meat to treat the soldiers, Wang Meng also went to the camp to ask Huan Wen, and talked about the situation in the world, which shocked Huan Wen and said bluntly, "No one in Jiangdong can match your talent." After that, Wang Meng was invited to go south with him and seek a great cause, but Wang Meng knew that Huan Wen was not the Lord he was looking for, and after politely refusing, he continued to live in seclusion and study, waiting for the changes in the wind and clouds.

And the Ming Lord that Wang Meng asked for soon appeared, the former Qin Emperor Zhisheng was cruel and unkind, the people were not happy, and his brother Zhi Jian had secretly planned to get rid of Zhi Sheng, after which he asked Shang Shu Lü Po Lou for advice, Lü Po Lou took the opportunity to recommend Wang Meng, and as a result, the two met and hated each other late, and speculated every sentence, just like Lu Lu and Wu Zixu in those years, and then under Wang Meng's plot, Zhi Jian got rid of Xiang Sheng's party and became the former Qin Emperor.

After that, Wang Meng was promoted to zhongshu waiter, and the combination of emperors and subjects of Jian Jian and Wang Meng was officially opened, and the first task he received was to strictly enforce the law and rectify public order, but this road was full of difficulties, the country after years of war, the people were displaced, a large number of nobles colluded with local magnates, for the sake of one side, bullying men and women, doing no evil, not knowing what the law was. Moreover, many of these aristocratic forces are relatives of the emperor and the state, and the trees have deep roots, and if a nameless person opposes them, the situation will inevitably be extremely dangerous. But Wang Meng was not afraid, he knew very well that if he wanted to complete his great ambition and repay the kindness of Jian Jian, this step must be taken, although the future was full of difficulties and obstacles, he calmly faced his choice.

As soon as Wang Meng took office, he began to vigorously straighten out public order, whether it was the emperor's relatives and state relatives, or local tyrants, as long as he was found to have violated the law, he would not be spared, and the magnates impeached him one after another, and even escorted him back to the Beijing division for interrogation. Jian Jian was impressed and eventually pardoned him. After that, Wang Meng joined hands with the famous general Deng Qiang of the dynasty, and at one time, he executed more than twenty nobles and powerful people, which shook the court for a while, and no one dared to violate the law and do evil anymore.

After the internal affairs were stabilized, Wang Meng set his sights on the surrounding tigers in the west and Former Yan, the place where Former Qin was located, it was a place of four battles, the belly and back were attacked, and it was necessary to attack first to be strong, Wang Meng was not only extremely talented in internal affairs, but also second to none in military strategy and wisdom, with his assistance, Jian Jian first wiped out the Western forces in the west, and then annihilated Former Yan, incorporated into the land of the north, and the rest of the weak and small strengths were also annexed, he really achieved the goal of sweeping away the Liuhe, unifying the north, and the land under the heavens had won seven, It is across the river from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

And at this moment, Wang Meng actually fell ill, and the tiring state affairs finally crushed his body, from the beginning of the handling of internal affairs and strict orders, to the pacification of the western region, the cutting of the Former Yan, the unification of the northern land, eighteen years before and after, he bowed down to exhaustion, after several lives and deaths, exerted great efforts, rectified the rule of officials, law enforcement magnates, he was strict in military law, calmed down the rebellion of the Five Gongs, built water conservancy, reduced the burden of tun tian, cherished the people, and the whole northern governance was in order, and now he was only one step away from unifying the world, but he could not go to the end. He could not personally see his great ambition to complete the unification of the world, I believe that at this moment, his heart is sad, the great cause has not been accomplished and he died first, no matter how unwilling he is, he has finally become the helplessness of the sentence, "Leisurely heaven, how thin than me".

I wonder if he would have thought that more than a hundred years ago, there was also a sage who bowed down like him and died, and after exhausting all his efforts, he issued the same sigh.

The great lord of the generation, Jian Jian, also personally went to the Zongmiao Temple to pray for his blessings, and sent people to visit the famous mountains and rivers, praying to move the heavens and not to take away his arm. But he finally went, and before he died, he used all his strength to say to Jian Jian: "Although the Jin kingdom is in the south of the Jiangsu Province, but it is a good inheritance, the upper and lower levels are peaceful, after the death of the subject, may Your Majesty not plot against the Jin kingdom, Xianbei, The Western Qiang is our enemy, it is a scourge, it should be eradicated, in order to benefit the great cause of the society." He died on December 31, 2012 at the age of 51.

The confidant who had accompanied him for many years and his arm took the first step away, and Jian Jian cried loudly: "Why is the heavens so ruthless and took away my Jing Luogong so quickly, do you not want me to dominate the world?" And the highest specifications of the imperial court at that time held a funeral for Wang Meng. His title was Marquis Wu, just like Zhuge Liang.

However, it is a pity that Jian Jian, who has always obeyed Wang Meng's words, did not listen to his last words, and a few years later, Former Qin sent an army of 800,000 troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he was defeated, and Jian Jian was also killed, which eventually led to the overthrow of Former Qin.
