Emperor Wu of Han's nursing mother broke the law and looked at Liu Che one last time before the execution. The execution time was approaching, and the nursing mother was escorted by the soldiers, turning back step by step, looking at Emperor Wu of Han with tears in her eyes. Crazy Dongfang Shuo scolded, "Are you stupid? Still looking at something, the emperor has grown up, will you still remember your kindness when you breastfeed! ”
As the saying goes, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", being on the side of the emperor, speaking and doing things require great wisdom, and if you are not careful, you may move your head. Because most of the courtiers who can be next to the emperor are very talented, and the talented courtiers are often more intelligent and have personalities. And the courtiers are too clever, their personalities are too flamboyant, and they are easily jealous of the emperor and cannot die well.
Therefore, since ancient times, the end of being able to talent and cadres has not been ideal. For example, Han Xin and Chao Que of the Han Dynasty, Yang Xiu of the Three Kingdoms Period, Liu Bowen and Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty. But there are exceptions, in ancient times, some courtiers, with their extraordinary wisdom, not only won the favor of the emperor, but also advised the king to buy good, seek the country and seek a life, and leave a name in history, which is impressive, such as dongfang Shuo during the Han Dynasty.
Dongfang Shuo loved to read since childhood, and in his early years he liked the books handed down in ancient times, loved the scriptures, and read the books of the Hundred Sons and Hundreds of Families extensively. In the early years of the reign of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, he summoned the world's talents, and Dongfang Shuo wrote a job application book of three thousand pieces of bamboo Jane, which these bamboo briefs could only be carried by two talents.
Emperor Wu of Han, who had just ascended to the throne, was also serious about doing things, and he had to spend two months to read Dongfang Shuo's job search book. Dongfang Shuo's job search was brilliantly written and fascinating, and Emperor Wu of Han, after seeing it, thought that Dongfang Shuo was extraordinary, so he ordered him to wait in the bus office for the summons. But as the days went on, Emperor Wudi of han forgot about Dongfang Shuo, and Dongfang Shuo was impatient, but he read the history of the scriptures, took inspiration from ancient books, and came up with an idea.
Dongfang Shuo was at the Bus Office, and saw that there were several dwarfs who were specifically responsible for raising horses for Emperor Wu of Han, and occasionally performed a relief for Emperor Wu of Han, and the salary was the same as that of Dongfang Shuo, who was full of economy. One day, Dongfang Shuo deliberately frightened the dwarfs, sighed and said, "The emperor said that you people can neither cultivate the land nor fight wars, let alone have the talent to govern the country and the country, which is of no benefit to the country, so he plans to kill you, and you are not in a hurry to ask the emperor for your life!" ”
When the dwarfs heard this, they were greatly frightened and cried and begged Emperor Wu of Han for forgiveness. Emperor Wudi of Han was confused, thinking back that he hadn't said anything about killing them! After Emperor Wudi of Han asked Ming about the original committee, he summoned Dongfang Shuo to question him in a huff.
When Dongfang Shuo heard that Emperor Wudi of Han wanted to see himself, he finally had a chance to face the emperor directly, and as soon as he was happy, he did not have time to comb and dress up, so he hurried into the palace to see Emperor Wudi of Han. Seeing Emperor Wu of Han, Dongfang Shuo said triumphantly: "Emperor, I had no choice but to do this, they are three feet tall, and I am nine feet tall, but they have as many qilu as me, isn't this supporting them and starving me?" ”
Because Emperor Wudi of Han was an emperor, none of the courtiers dared to joke in front of him, and when he heard Dongfang Shuo's words, Emperor Wudi of Han suddenly burst out laughing. Since then, Dongfang Shuo has won the favor of Emperor Wu of Han by virtue of his wit, humor, and fun, and When Dongfang Shuo has the opportunity to approach Emperor Wu of Han, he will observe the color of his words, speak bluntly at the first opportunity, repeatedly persuade the king to buy goodness, and make many contributions to the people of the Han Dynasty and the state affairs of the Han Dynasty.
For example, in the matter of repairing the Forest Garden, Emperor Wu was advised to abstain from extravagance and compassion for the people, in the matter of Zhaoping Jun's murder, Emperor Wu was advised to enforce the law impartially, and in the case of the master, Emperor Wu was advised to correct the weather. And so on, and so forth. He also used his ingenuity and wit to inspire Emperor Wu of Han not to superstitiously believe in the immortal alchemists and immortals, and his wit and persuasive wisdom were impressive.
Another year, Emperor Wudi of Han's nursing mother made a mistake, which caused Emperor Wudi of Han to be furious and wanted to kill the nursing mother. The nursing mother went around begging for intercession, but no one dared to intercede in front of Emperor Wu of Han. Finally, the nursing mother found Dongfang Shuo and begged him to save herself.
Emperor Wu of Han's nursing mother tasted foreign crimes, the emperor wanted to apply for Xian, and the nursing mother asked for help from Dongfang Shuo. Shuo Yue: "This is not a dispute between lips and tongues, and those who will hope for help will go, but when they repeatedly take care of the emperor, be careful not to say anything!" This may be in case. The nursing mother is also on the side, because it is said: "Ru yi er! Does the emperor recall the grace and evil when he nursed? "Although the emperor was ambitious and patient, but also deeply in love, he was miserable, that is, he was exonerated.
Dongfang Shuo said for Emperor Wu of Han's nursing mother: "Now the emperor is angry, but this matter cannot be won by words, you very much hope that I can save you, I will give you a plan, but you must do as I say." Before the execution, you frequently look back at the emperor, but don't speak. In this way, there may be a glimmer of hope. ”
On the day of the execution, the nursing mother said goodbye to Emperor Wu of Han according to The words of Dongfang Shuo, and then turned back step by step, looking back at Emperor Wu of Han with tears in her eyes. Dongfang Shuo was accompanying Liu Che, and when she saw that the nursing mother was acting according to the plan, she suddenly deliberately shouted, "Are you stupid old woman?" Now that the emperor has grown up, will he remember your kindness when you were breastfeeding? ”
Although Emperor Wu of Han had a hard heart, but his heart was well-informed, Dongfang Shuo's words could not help but remind him of the past, and his heart was soft, so he stepped forward to loosen the ties for the nursing mother and let her go.
Throughout the han wudi dynasty, there were not many heroes who died well, and Dongfang Shuo not only had a good death, but also repeatedly reaped rewards, which was inseparable from the wisdom of Dongfang Shuo and the leaders. Reading history makes people wise, and only by studying the past can we know the present, so we should read more historical stories and prompt our own ideological patterns. Like Dongfang Shuo, use wisdom to seek the country, seek the body, and plot things.
