The Three Kingdoms is a chaotic world, some people choose the career path, and some people choose to retreat, of which there are two characters Kong Ming during the Three Kingdoms period, one is called Zhuge Liang, one is called Hu Zhao, Zhuge Liang bowed down all his life, made great achievements, famous throughout the ages, and Hu Zhao chose to live in seclusion and became a generation of hermits and calligraphers, so what stories did Hu Zhao leave behind?
Refuse to be an official
At that time, the world was in chaos, and many people chose to live in seclusion in order to avoid the pain of war, and Hu Zhao was one of them. But because Hu Zhao had a very good reputation, so he has always been revered, at that time Hu Zhao was in Jizhou to avoid chaos, Yuan Shao heard that Hu Zhao was very talented, so he wanted to appoint Hu Zhao as an official, but was rejected by Hu Zhao, Hu Zhao felt that he was a scholar, had no talent, only wanted to live a plain and stable life, and did not want to go out to be an official, Yuan Shao saw that Hu Zhao's idea had been decided, so he no longer embarrassed Hu Zhao.
After Cao Cao captured Jizhou, he heard that Hu Zhao was very talented, so he frequently recruited Hu Zhao, and Hu Zhao, seeing that it was useless to resign, went there himself. When Cao Cao heard that Hu Zhao had come, he personally received him, and after Seeing Cao Cao, Hu Zhao said, "I am just an opposition student, I have no talent, and I have no use for the army and the country. After hearing this, Cao Cao was touched by Hu Zhao's sincerity, so he said to Hu Zhao: "Everyone has their own aspirations, you want to go into hiding, you want to find your own happiness, then go with your preferences, I no longer force you", Hu Zhao, after listening, bid farewell to Cao Cao, and from then on moved to the Luhun Mountains, personally cultivated the fields and cultivated the land, and took the cultivation as a pleasure, usually read and read, sang the Tao, lived very quietly and happily in the mountains, and the neighbors all respected and loved him very much.
Keep the tribe in honor
Twenty-three years after Jian'an, because of the high-intensity "Battle of Hanzhong", a large number of Zhuang Ding were needed to serve in labor, at this time, Zhang Gu, the governor of Luhun County, was ordered to mobilize Zhuang Ding to serve in Hanzhong, but the people did not want to go to service because the road was too far away, coupled with the danger of life in service, the civilian Sun Wolf and others took the opportunity to revolt, killed the county master, formed a rebellion, and the county town fell into a panic at once.
Soon, the county magistrate Zhang Gu led some people to gather the remaining people around Hu Zhao, so that the county seat could be settled. Sun Wolf and the others saw that the general trend had gone, so they surrendered to Guan Yu to the south, Guan Yu heard that some people were attached, so he personally granted them official seals, and returned them to soldiers, so that Sun Wolf and others had a certain strength, but then Sun Wolf and others did not change their thieves, returned to the county to do grass, often in the south of Luhun County, they respected Hu Zhao very much, so they swore to each other: "Hu Jushi is a sage, we can not infringe on his tribe", so the whole place has become very stable because of Hu Zhao, and the people live and work here in peace and contentment. For a while, no longer plagued by the war, the people respected Hu Zhao very much, and felt that Hu Zhao was the real sage, and later the country was stable, Hu Zhao moved out of Luhun County and moved to Yiyang County.
Special summons of the Imperial Court
At this time, Hu Zhao's reputation had spread all over the world, many high-ranking officials and nobles were willing to associate with him, and often had contacts, and after a long time, Hu Zhao's reputation spread to the imperial palace, at this time many ministers of culture and military affairs recommended Hu Zhao to the imperial court, and said: "Hu Zhao has a lofty heart, a noble behavior, the older he is, the more determined he is, he is at ease, he has the discipline of Boyi and Sihao, and the imperial court should recruit and appoint him, so as to encourage the people and educate the world." At the recommendation of many ministers, the imperial court sent a bus to recruit Hu Zhao, and the result was just in time for Hu Zhao's death at the age of eighty-nine.
Hu Zhao is the kind of real hermit, they are not moved by the high-ranking official Houlu, do not yield to power, really want to be a hermit, spend their lives with the breeze and the bright moon, live a life of idyllic wine, and live a life far from the world and indifferent to fame and fortune, which is indeed desirable and admirable.
