China is a society that has studied human nature very much, and the ancestors have left a lot of golden sentences summarizing the cold state of the world. Among them, "thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi" is definitely a very vivid and true sentence, especially in the ancient society of dynastic change and power change, a person's fate is easy to have big ups and downs, and the more such a time, the easier it is to show the dark side of human nature.
When you are brilliant, the door may be crowded with people who come to greet and ask for help, and once you have any problems, then it can really be said that the trees are scattered, and everyone will quickly clear up with you, and more excessively, they may also step on two feet. But these people have forgotten one possibility — a comeback.
Everyone knows the idiom of "resurgence", whether it is the love of two people, or the career of one person, from the trough to get back up, you can use this word, although now when you say it, everyone feels that this is not a good word, but in fact, the origin of this word is very interesting.
This story comes from Han Anguo of the Western Han Dynasty, perhaps many friends are not very familiar with him, this is a very outstanding courtier, Wenneng ruling the country, Wuneng Anbang, he was initially just a doctor under the Liang King, but in the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, Han Anguo performed well, and gradually made a name for himself, And Emperor Jingdi of Han and Empress Dou were very appreciative of this Confucian general.
Later, once, Han Anguo was put in a big prison because he had committed something wrong, and the guards who watched him saw that he was only a prisoner of the lower ranks, which was usually quite bad for him, and Han Anguo said this famous saying: Won't the ashes of death recur? Of course, at the time, this seemed to be really a fool's dream, and the jailer had the right to be a joke, and his attitude towards him did not improve at all.
However, after Empress Dou learned about Han Anguo's situation, she immediately asked the emperor to investigate the situation and found that it was not a big problem, so she quickly released Han Anguo and gave him a better official position. At this moment, the jailer's eldest brother was blindfolded, and he did not take it seriously at that time, and as a result, he completely blocked his own back road. He had a big heart and simply planned to run.
I have to say that the rendering of the concept of family in ancient Chinese society is still very effective, even if it is just an ordinary jailer, an ordinary citizen, everyone cares very much about their family, Han Anguo also seized this psychology, threatening him with the safety of his family, let him come to yamen quickly, otherwise he will kill the whole family.
When the jailer came to the mansion with a hard scalp, and the two people met again, there was no enemy-like extra redness, Han Anguo was not only not angry, but instead smiled and let him fulfill the harsh words he had said that year, and the jailer was afraid and ashamed. In the end, Han Anguo did not take any measures against the jailer, but only gave him some silver and let him go home. Because for Han Anguo, he didn't care to kill such a pawn at all.
This story caused a lot of repercussions at the time, and many people admired Han Anguo very much, because we can compare Han Xin, who started from an obscure ordinary person to a great general, and the entire trajectory of life is climbing up. And Han Anguo's fate is actually more ups and downs, he was first young and promising, then became a prisoner of the order and humiliated by the jailer, and then rebounded again, in a high position, this experience is not something that anyone can have.
And this kind of open-mindedness and experience has also become his life wealth, in the subsequent career, Han Anguo is relatively smooth, in the political achievements and word of mouth can also be regarded as a double harvest.
In this process, in fact, I believe that Han Anguo's mind has already matured a lot, and he will not remember and hate himself because of the speed of other people's tongues, in other words, what he thinks in his heart is not a problem at this level at all, but the country and the people.
