In the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a teenager named Chenggong in LangfuGumu, whose parents died when he was very young, leaving him alone in the world. In order to survive, The eight-year-old Chenggong began to work as a pig herder for people. Although there is no improvement in life, good villains can barely support themselves.
Originally, Chenggong may have lived a life in a muddy state, but because of an encounter, his life began to change.
At that time, there was a teacher named Xu Zisheng, who led hundreds of students to study the Spring and Autumn Classics. When Chenggong was resting, he happened to pass by Xu Zisheng's grass hut and heard the sound of reading inside. Curious, he stopped and listened for a while. As a result, the more Chenggong listened, the more fascinated he became, so he stayed under Xu Zisheng's door to study.
The inspirational Chenggong naturally gave up the work of pig herding. In order to make ends meet while studying, Seong-gyeonggi began to collect some firewood for the other students, relying on this in exchange for some living expenses.
After several years of hard work and study, Chenggong finally completed all his studies and learned all of Xu Zisheng's knowledge. After completing his studies, Seonggiya decided to return to his hometown and teach what he had learned to the children in his hometown. Unfortunately, not long after the school started, the world was in chaos. In order to avoid disaster, Chenggong left his hometown with his students and fled to Hanzhong.
Soon after, Chenggong met a woman in Hanzhong who was as diligent as he was, and their personalities were compatible, so Chenggong married her. After getting married, Chenggong and his wife came to Mengyin Mountain, where they reclaimed a large amount of cultivated land to specialize in planting grass.
The land of Mengyin Mountain is fertile, and the grasses thrive here. However, when The grass that Chenggong and his wife had worked so hard to cultivate was about to ripen, they encountered an evil person who had been planning for a long time. This evil man bluntly said that Hehuang was his, and asked Chenggong and his wife to hurry up!
As for the evil man's remarks, Chenggong did not refute anything, and directly gave Hehuang to the evil man, and he and his wife left here empty-handed.
This incident made the students of Chenggong very angry, and they went around preaching the domineering of the evil man. Although it is not known whether the evil man was punished in the end, Chenggong became famous for it.
Later, the government found him because of chenggong's reputation and asked him to become an official in the past. However, Chenggong was devoted to teaching and did not want to participate in political affairs, so he did not agree to this matter.
During the Yongping period, the imperial court summoned Chenggong to the bus and wanted him to teach at tai academy. When Chenggong and his wife's car arrived at the Tai Academy, the emperor personally summoned him, appointed him as a doctor, and moved to General Zuo Zhonglang.
After entering the dynasty, Chenggong repeatedly confided in advice, stated political views, and discussed accurately and cautiously, so the Manchu ministers were afraid of him. In this way, the reputation of chenggong became louder and louder, and eventually even spread to the Xiongnu.
At that time, the Xiongnu were also divided into north and south, and the southern Xiongnu were defeated by the northern Xiongnu and completely dependent on the Han Dynasty, while the Northern Xiongnu continued to live happily in the northern steppe.
At that time, Shan Yu of the Northern Xiongnu was very interested in Chenggong after hearing about his reputation, so he sent an emissary to ask to see Chenggong.
When the emperor informed Chenggong of this, Chenggong said, "The Xiongnu were curious about my reputation and wanted to see me, not to see me personally." My face is ugly, and they should not be allowed to see it, and they should choose a man with a dignified face to receive the Messenger. The emperor was deeply impressed, so he sent The Great Hongxu Wei Ying over.
In fact, Chenggong's main job in The Beijing Division was not to receive emissaries or engage in politics, his real job was to teach and educate people. Otherwise, Chenggong would not have been willing to enter the dynasty as an official.
After Chenggong's death, the emperor gave him a cemetery in honor of Chenggong. However, Chenggong's wife did not want it, but wrote to request that Chenggong be buried in her hometown. The emperor agreed to give Chenggong's wife 300,000 yuan in funeral expenses to arrange the aftermath for Chenggong.
