The Liang surname has a long history, the Liang family has a wealth of talents, and for thousands of years, like other surnames, many outstanding figures have emerged in order to reproduce and create civilization. Their great deeds and personalities, as well as their cultural heritage, deserve to be passed on from generation to generation. In order to let more people understand the cultural history of the Liang family, xiaobian has compiled some more characteristic Liang celebrity stories to relay out for the readers.
During the Sui Dynasty, Xining Prefecture (present-day Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan) was a mixed area inhabited by Han and ethnic minorities, and was the largest Yi concentration in China, located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan in the southwest of present-day Sichuan Province. Here, the ancient "Shu body poison road" and "Lingguan Road" meandered between the lofty mountains and mountains, the north of Bashu, the Central Plains, the south of the border, foreign countries, is the famous "Southern Silk Road". At that time, Xining Prefecture was a barbaric land, the people were not well-weathered, and the people did not revere morality and righteousness, but they were dedicated to gold and wealth. In particular, the local ethnic minorities are popular among the habit of collecting gold, people are rich and noble based on how much gold, and there are often endless armed struggles between tribes for gold, who has more gold to attack whom, who wants to occupy more gold and become the richest person. Regular armed fighting led to a deterioration of local social security, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Central Plains was in constant turmoil, and a large number of Han people entered the territory of Xining Prefecture along the "Southern Silk Road", in order to gain a firm foothold, some of the han people who moved had to rely on the local ethnic minority tribes, and also passively joined the armed struggle between the tribes, which objectively further intensified the ethnic contradictions. There was a turbulent situation in Xining.
After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, in order to rule Xining, the Sui Emperor Yang Jian asked his ministers to recommend a competent official to be the chief official of Xining Prefecture. However, the magnates who supported Yang Jiandai Zhou Lisui at that time were busy seizing fertile places, and no one was willing to take up posts in the remote Xining Prefecture. Later, Liang Bi, who had just been released from prison because of the impeachment of yang Su, was recommended to the Sui Emperor Yang Jian. Emperor Yang Jian of Sui understood that this was Yang Su's revenge on Liang Bi and wanted to take this opportunity to drive him out of the power center of the capital. Although Yang Jian punished Liang Bi, he still appreciated him in his heart, but based on the complicated situation in Xining Prefecture at that time, Yang Jian still adopted Yang Su's opinion and released Liang Bi as the Assassin of Xining Prefecture after some consideration. Unexpectedly, this appointment of Yang Jian, the Emperor of Sui Wen, created a clean and capable official who did not lose the eastern Han Dynasty's lu achievements. As a result, Liang Bi became a well-known Qing official in history.
Liang Bi is from the famous Anding Wu clan of the Liang clan. His grandfather Liang Kai was highly regarded by Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei and was appointed as the Assassin of Jing Prefecture (泾州, in modern Jingchuan County, Gansu), the ancestral residence of the Liang clan of The Anding Liang, and later as the Assassin of Luozhou and Yuzhou, and was given the title of Duke of Heyang. His father Liang Rank successively served as the Assassin of Cangzhou and Yanzhou. Liang Bi was born in a family of eunuchs and received a good education from an early age. He was straightforward by nature and extensively educated, and was recommended as a Ming Jingsheng during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was gradually promoted to the rank of Bu Xian Doctor who was in charge of the imperial court's announcement of the prohibition of criminal law. In the fourth year (575) of Emperor Jiande of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Liang Bi served as the commander-in-chief of the march in the war to pacify Northern Qi, and made military achievements when he conquered and conquered the prefecture, and has since been promoted several times. After Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, Liang Bijin was made the Marquis of Handan County, and successively served as a zhishu attendant. At the beginning of the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, Liang Bi successively served as the governor of the imperial history and the capital division, and he handled affairs straight and did not evade, in order to protect the interests of the country, he did not hesitate to offend the powerful. He had been imprisoned by Emperor Wen of Sui for impeaching his ministers Liu Fang and Yang Su, but his awe-inspiring righteousness and his sincere heart of putting the Jiangshan Sheji first at every turn made Emperor Wen of Sui very moved and finally released him.
When Liang Bi arrived in Xining Prefecture, he was not in a hurry to report to take office, but conducted a private visit with his entourage as a businessman, deeply understood the local customs and customs and various ethnic contradictions, and focused on the situation of the struggle for gold and weapons between the various tribes of ethnic minorities, grasped the first-hand information, and formulated corresponding countermeasures. Liang Bi's first decree in the state capital was to post a notice prohibiting armed fighting, but it had no effect. The tribal leaders thought that this was just another means for money-loving officials to be greedy for money, and in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, they rushed to present Liang Bi with local gold. In this regard, Liang Bi quietly accepted all of them, and in a few days, he collected a lot of gold.
One day, Liang Bi held a feast to entertain the tribal leaders. After three rounds of drinking, Liang Bi asked someone to bring out the gold sent by everyone and put it on the table, and suddenly cried at the gold: "This thing can't be eaten when it's hungry, and it can't be worn when it's cold. Now that you're giving me this thing, once there's more, are you going to come and beat me up and kill me?" Everyone hurriedly said which dare ah, sending gold to you is purely a piece of good intentions, no other meaning Oh. Liang Bi asked again, "Then why are you fighting each other for it?" The tribal leaders stopped talking, ashamed and embarrassed. Liang Bi put the gold that everyone had given them in front of them and said, "I don't want gold, so take it back." ”
The tribal leaders were touched from the bottom of their hearts when they faced this "money-loving" parent official. Since then, "the barbarians have realized that they will not attack each other, and the border people will be at peace." Liang Bi was in charge of the history of Xining Prefecture, honest and incorruptible, and formed a common atmosphere. People no longer fight for the amount and honor and disgrace of their own gold, and the society is peaceful. Liang Bi used the method of "crying gold" to effectively maintain local stability and unity. "Liang Bi Weeping Gold" has also become synonymous with honesty and honesty of officials and selflessness in law enforcement in history.
There is no free lunch in the world, and the reason why people give you their hard-earned gold and silver treasures is because they value the power in your hands and because they will ask for you in the future. If you covet these bribes today, you will lose your precious freedom and even your precious life tomorrow. Therefore, in the face of bribes, as long as officials, like Liang Bi, can soberly realize the harm of temptation with "wanting to kill me", cherish everything they have, strictly discipline themselves, and raise "rejection" to a height of self-improvement, they will certainly be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and truly block the temptation completely.
