Many people regard Wei Jie as one of the four beautiful men in ancient times, and he deserves it. Wei Jie has both beauty and talent, and when it comes to beauty, it is said that the viewer is blocked, and there is a saying that Wei Jie is killed. When it comes to talent, his conversation is fascinating, and the history books are rated as the first scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, behind Wei Jiu's fame, there was a tragic experience, his whole family was killed to only two people, and he died young, perhaps not even leaving any descendants.
Wei Jiu's grandfather was Wei Wan, who was born into a family of officials and eunuchs, who knew things well, was honest and allowed, and was praised. At the end of the Cao Wei Dynasty, the chancellor Sima Zhao sent Deng Ai and Zhong Hui to destroy the Shu Han. Zhong Hui was instigated by Jiang Wei to plot rebellion, so he joined forces with Wei Wan to tell Deng Ai to act arbitrarily. Wei Wan was a supervisor at the time, and after capturing Deng Ai, Zhong Hui immediately rebelled. Wei Ou first destroyed Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei, and then sent people to rob and kill Deng Ai, killing three famous generals in one fell swoop. Among them, Deng Ai was innocently killed, the most unjustly killed, and the famous minister Du foreheard about Deng Ai's murder and said to the crowd: "Wei Ou probably can't avoid death!" "It's a slur.
When it comes to the merits of destroying Shu, Deng Ai is the first and Zhong Hui is the second, but they are killed by Wei Ou, so the credit for destroying Shu falls on Wei Ou alone. Wei Wan was therefore made a knight. Soon after Sima Yan established the Western Jin Dynasty, Wei Wan, because of his previous merits, was ranked third duke, rich and prominent, and was very much valued by Sima Yan.
Wei Wan, believing that the crown prince Sima Zheng was stupid and unable to handle state affairs, once persuaded Sima Yan to abolish Sima Zheng, so he was resented by the crown princess Jia Nanfeng. After Sima Zheng succeeded to the throne, Wei Wan, together with Sima Liang, the king of Runan, assisted in the administration and discussed returning the kings to their fiefdoms, thus offending Sima Wei, the king of Chu. Empress Jia Nanfeng heard that Sima Wei also resented Wei Wan, so she forged an edict declaring that Wei Wan and Sima Liang intended to rebel, and sent Sima Wei to remove Wei Wei and others from their official positions. Sima Wei was a man of light temper and treachery, so he took the opportunity to send someone to kill the nine members of Wei Wan's family. Only Wei Wan's grandsons Wei Bao and Wei Jiu were not at home at the time, so they survived.
Wei Jie, the character Uncle Bao, was radiant at the age of five. Wei Ou praised Wei Jiu and said, "This is different, but unfortunately I am old and can't see him grow up!" "When Wei Jie was a teenager. Riding on the street with a sheep car, everyone thought he was a jade man, and the whole city watched. The hussar general Wang Ji was Wei Jie's uncle and a handsome and handsome beautiful man, and every time he saw Wei Jie, he was always ashamed of himself. Wang Ji believes that Wei Jie is like a pearl, shining brightly.
When Wei Jiu grew up, he liked to talk about metaphysics, which is the study and interpretation of Laozi, Zhuangzi and Zhou Yi. His defender, Jiu, became frail and sickly, and his mother, worried about his health, often forbade him to speak. However, if there is a festival, relatives and friends occasionally ask Wei Jiu to speak, Wei Jiu will talk about the mysterious truth, and everyone will sigh and think that what he said is meticulous.
Wang Cheng, a disciple of the Lang evil family, was famous and rarely admired and admired others, but every time he listened to Wei Jie talk about it, he always sighed and fell. Therefore, the shiren said: "Wei Jie talked, and Pingzi fell down." Wang Cheng and his brother Wang Ji and nephew Wang Xuan were all famous, but they were all under Wei Jie, and the world said: "The third son of the Wang family is not as good as the first son of the Wei family." ”
At that time, the emperor was weak and incompetent, the kings were infighting, the Hu clan was rising, and the world was in turmoil. The imperial court repeatedly recruited Wei Jiu as an official, and Wei Jiu learned the lessons of his grandfather Wei Jiu, unwilling to get involved in political struggles, and always refused to obey orders. After a long time, Wei Jiu accepted the official positions of Taifu Xige Offering, Prince Washing Horses, and so on.
Wei Jie's older brother Wei Xuan (衛璪) served Emperor Huai of Jin as a loose rider. Wei Jie believes that the world is in chaos and plans to move his family to the south. Wei Yue's mother said, "I can't leave Zhongbao (Wei Xuan) and go. Wei Jie tried his best to persuade his mother, and for the sake of the family's grand plan, Wei Jie agreed with tears. When parting, Wei Jie said to his brother Wei Xuan: "The world values the righteousness of loyalty to the king, and now it is time to sacrifice himself to the monarch, and the brother should encourage himself." So he took his mother to Jiangxia. Soon, the Xiongnu leader Liu Cong attacked Luoyang, and Wei Xuan was killed.
Wei Jiu's wife Le Shi died earlier, and when the Zhengnan general Shan Jian saw Wei Jie, he admired and respected him very much, saying: "When Dai Shuluan married a daughter, he took Xianliang as the only criterion for choosing a son-in-law, and did not ask about nobility, moreover, Wei Shi was born into a rich family and had a good name!" So he married his daughter to Wei Jie.
Wei Jie came to Yuzhang, when the great general Wang Dunzhen was guarding this place, Wang Dun's chief Shi Xie Kun always respected Wei Jie, and they were very happy to see each other and talked about the whole day. Wang Dun said to Xie Kun: "In the past, Wang Bi talked like a golden voice in the middle of the dynasty, and this person talked like Yu Zhen in Jiangbiao, and the subtle remarks were endless. I didn't expect that in the last year of Yongjia, I could still hear the same kind of talk in the beginning of the year, and if He Yan was still there, he would definitely be overwhelmed by it. "Wei Jie is a generous person, and there is no mood or anger in his life.
Wei Jiu thought that Wang Dun was bold and cool, liked to be above people, and was afraid that he was not a loyal subject, so he asked to go to Jianye. At that time, Jianye was the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Jingshi people saw Wei Jie's posture, and the spectators were blocked (the onlookers were like a wall). Wei Jiu was tired and sick, and then worsened, and soon died, at the age of twenty-seven, when people said that Wei Jiu was seen killed. The history books do not record that Wei Jiu had offspring, and may not have had children.
Wei Jiu was buried in Nanchang, and Xie Kun was crying very sadly, and people asked, "Why are you crying so sadly?" Xie Kun replied, "The beam is broken, and I feel sad unconsciously." Later, Wei Jiu was reburied in Jiangning, and Wang Dao said: "Wei Jie (Wei Jie) really should be reburied, this person is a famous man, hai nei looks up, you can send someone to sacrifice him to comfort people's hearts." Later, Liu Tao and Xie Shang talked about the DPRK and Chinese people together, and someone asked: "Can Du Qi be compared with the Wei Wash Horse?" Xie Shang replied, "Du Qi is far behind." Liu Wei also said, "Du Qi is only a Look Qing, while Shu Bao (Wei Jie) is a Shen Qing." "Wei Jie is valued like this. People say that at that time, the famous scholars of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, only Wang Cheng and Wei Jiu were the first.
