"Kong Ming is as dense as a god and a ghost, as fast as the wind and thunder." It is impossible to enter and retreat. "
The name of Zhuge Wuhou has been passed down for thousands of years and is still very loud. During his lifetime, he united wu against Cao and formed a situation in which the Three Kingdoms were established. After the first lord Liu Beibai emperor entrusted the city to the orphan, Zhuge Liang left the Qi Mountains and went north to the Central Plains, making an immortal contribution to the Shu Han Dynasty. Many kings in later generations spared no effort to seal him, especially in the Tang Dynasty, he was carried into the Wu Temple, and the poetry biographies written for him by later generations were countless. Most of them praised him for his use of soldiers like gods and loyalty. And also loyal to the Han Dynasty, why didn't Xun Yu live like Zhuge Liang?
(1) They are also loyal subjects, and their reputations in later generations are far apart
Like Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu was both wang zuocai at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Xun Yu was Cao Cao's great hero in unifying the north, a counselor who advised him to "serve the Son of Heaven to order him not to be a subject", and a disciplined man who was loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Even Su Rui praised him as "Therefore, with the conspirators, the affairs of the king, Wen Ruo taught the manipulators to rebel?" Save the world with benevolence and righteousness." His contribution to Cao Cao was far less than Zhuge Liang's contribution to Shu Han.
1. Be loyal and faithful, and keep the festival of humility and retreat
History is a little girl dressed up, and many celebrities may not be particularly outstanding at the time, but because of his loyalty, he can get bottomless publicity from future generations. Later generations continued to give Zhuge Liang additional rewards, hoping that the people of the world could learn from his spirit of loyalty and patriotism.
Zhuge Liang can be said to have bowed to Shu Han and died. He never forgot the emperor's entrustment for a single day. He wholeheartedly assisted the young lord and single-handedly supported the entire Shu Han. Xun Yu was also loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he was loyal to the orthodox Han Dynasty. In an era of division of the masses and simultaneous wars, Xun Yu chose Cao Cao, who dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo at that time, and wholeheartedly assisted him.
At first, Xun Yu thought that Cao Cao was also a loyal soldier, and Cao Cao also favored Xun Yu's courage and strategy and a loyal heart. The two achieved each other's achievements and finally unified the North.
However, Xun Yu overestimated Cao Cao's loyalty, and Cao Cao also underestimated Xun Yu's integrity. When Cao Cao demanded that jiuxi be sealed, Xun Yu came out to block it. Xun Yu knew that if Cao Cao succeeded, then he would have his own fiefs, an army, and an administrative structure, and he would be completely free from the control of the Han Dynasty. Because of Xun Yu's strong advice, Cao Cao 's heart could not be calmed." So he gave Xun Yu a box without fruit, which means "there is no fruit in the box, please pick (cut)". Xun Yu immediately died for the big man he had in mind. Xun Yu was only loyal to the Han Dynasty and not to Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang was only loyal to the Liu Bei family and not to the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Xun Yuning was stubbornly observant, and according to common sense, future generations should not ignore Xun Yu and constantly elevate Zhuge Liang. So, what is the reason for this?
2. Stepping on Cao and holding Liu, harming Xun Lingjun
In many novels and interpretations, Liu Bei is portrayed as a famous lord of benevolence and morality, and Cao Cao is ugly as a psychologically dark tyrant. Although Xun Yu was loyal to the Han Dynasty, he was the one who helped Cao Cao fight. Under the social environment of honoring Liu and degrading Cao, Xun Yu naturally went unnoticed with the corruption of Cao Cao's reputation. On the other hand, Zhuge Liang's lord Liu Bei, his reputation is very good, and he has always been under the banner of KuangFu Han Room, and has always shown himself in the image of benevolence. Therefore, future generations are also very sought after it. And Zhuge Liang, who fights the world with him, will naturally be improved by the image of "Loving House and Wu".
When many people write works of the Three Kingdoms, they will stand on a subjective standpoint and consciously think that Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang are the orthodox Han Dynasty of the Eight Classics. Cao Cao, on the other hand, was nothing more than a thief who stole the country. Because of this, Xun Yu, who assisted Cao Cao, also declined in status. Even though everyone knew that he was a loyal and righteous minister loyal to the Han Dynasty, he was still reluctant to give him a chance because he was in Cao Cao's camp. But who can understand Xun Yu's good intentions, he has a dream of a scholar, and he also has a dream of a big Han. However, this top strategist was difficult to support alone, and could only choose to assist Cao Cao to save Han from water and fire. Moreover, at that time, Cao Cao was indeed loyal to the Great Han and had no other intentions.
(2) The power of example, Kong Ming is the first choice of the royal family
In ancient times, there were not many people who read and wrote, and ordinary people had the opportunity to contact history. Therefore, whatever the king preaches, they will believe. Once this atmosphere of public opinion rises, it will also affect the height of the temple from the distance of the rivers and lakes. Between Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang, they preferred Kong Ming's loyalty.
1. Consolidate rule, one "god-making movement" after another
After the White Emperor's city was isolated, the lord was suspicious of the country, and Zhuge Liang tried to turn the tide, making the Shu Han who was originally in the midst of swaying become extremely stable. Most importantly, he did not take advantage of this opportunity to monopolize power in his own hands. All the kings feared was their sudden death and the chaos of the country. They were even more afraid of the appearance of figures like Yang Jian and Zhao Kuangyin. Therefore, it is necessary to flaunt Kong Ming, while publicizing Kong Ming's ability, while publicizing his loyalty. It is to convey to the courtiers that Zhuge Liang's great ability did not say that he would take advantage of the danger of others and monopolize power, so you should learn from him.
Although Xun Yu was bent on supporting the Han Dynasty, he chose to save the country by curving the curve, that is, relying on Cao Cao's strength to complete his dream. In fact, Xun Lingjun was also helpless, he originally followed Yuan Shao, but this person had no great ambition and a small belly, but it was not as bold as Cao Cao, who dared to scatter his family wealth and assassinate Dong Zhuo at that time. Between the two, the emperors certainly preferred the loyal Zhuge Liang. Although Xun Yu was loyal to the Great Han and Kong Ming was loyal to the Shu Han, no matter who he was loyal to, the loyalty that was useful to future generations of rulers was true loyalty. What is good on the top will be worse for the bottom. The courtiers at the bottom saw that the emperor respected Kong Ming so much, and they could not be left behind. Those who had literary talents began to create literary works for them, and those in power tried to expand the influence of Kong Ming.
2. The label of "aiding and abetting abuse"
Xun Yu was born into a family of doctors and was a traditional person who was influenced by the etiquette of the Han Dynasty. From the moment he was born, he branded loyalty and patriotism in his heart. He had a strong sense of imperial legitimacy, and although he assisted Cao Cao, his purpose was to make Meng De a figure like the Duke of Zhou. However, after years of development, Cao Cao is no longer the young man who ran for the Han Room, he has become an out-and-out egoist. Cao Cao changed, but Xun Yu did not change, and he was still bent on supporting the Han Room. Although Xun Yu proved his innocence by dying, he did a lot of things for Cao Cao after all. Cao Cao was also portrayed as a thief of the Han Dynasty, so Xun Yu naturally became his "accomplice". In this way, how could future generations publicize Xun Yu?
If we are purely concerned about loyalty to the Great Han, Xun Yu directly defeated Zhuge Liang. Moreover, the emperor was also in the hands of Cao Cao, and to a certain extent, loyalty to Cao Cheng was loyalty to Emperor Xian of Han. However, Xun Yu found that it was too late for Cao Cao to change his mind, so he preferred to sacrifice his life for righteousness.
All in all, Xun Yu's popularity in later life was not as good as Zhuge Liang's, because he followed Cao Cao, who was "named Han Xiang, but was actually a Han thief". The emperors of later generations did not want to have a figure like Meng De who overthrew themselves, and naturally did not want xun Yu to be a loyal servant who helped Cao Cao start a business.
(3) The descendants Hugh left Hou Bi and did not have the face to see Han Jun
"Weak and talented in the world, poor lost in the door of power."
In the eyes of many people, it is believed that Xun Yu was the only person loyal to the Great Han during the Three Kingdoms period. When Tianzi had no military power, Xun Yu could only choose Cao Cao. He gave his whole life to the Great Han, and only by following Meng De could he preserve the name of the Great Han. It can be called the Great Han, the last hero.
1. Kong Ming was too prominent in the Shu Han Dynasty
Liu Bei has always been in a three-legged position, in a weak position. He has the fewest troops, the fewest households, and a lack of competent people around him. At the same time, his own abilities were far from being comparable to Cao Cao's. Kong Ming came to Liu Bei's account, which could be regarded as the most outstanding. Especially after the White Emperor's city was orphaned, he supported the building in the general, and his credit was unmatched in the Shu Han Dynasty. Although Xun Yu himself had the talent of Wang Zuo, because Cao Cao had too many advisers around him, it seemed that Xun Yu was somewhat bleak. What's more, Cao Cao's own ability was not weak, which made Xun Yu's sense of existence even lower. In such a comparison, in kong ming and xun yu, who are both wise and loyal, Kong is obviously so dazzling and shining. Moreover, the strength of Shu Han was very weak, and it was not easy for Zhuge Liang to maintain the status quo, and he could also have the ambition of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, which made him perform even better in the comparison with Xun Yu.
2. Curves saved the country mostly helped Cao Cao
Zhuge Liang said that he was loyal to the king and patriotic, and he really single-mindedly helped Liu Bei in his eastern conquest of the west, laying the foundation for a three-legged situation. Xun Yu also flaunted how loyal he was, but the strategy and strategy were all to help Cao Cao pacify all sides. In Xun Yu's eyes, Cao Cao was the minister of the Great Han, and to help him was to help the Great Han. However, in the eyes of posterity, Xun Yu would only put some empty cannons and pay lip service to patriotism. Moreover, most of his schemes became the pillars of Cao Cao's power over the Han Dynasty and his step-by-step approach to the peak. At first, he hoped that Cao Cao would be able to put an end to the chaos in the name of the Son of Heaven in order to achieve the goal of unifying the world, but later Cao Cao developed into a son of heaven to order the princes.
Therefore, nepotism alone is not enough to rely on a loyal heart. Later generations also believed that Xun Yu joined the ruling clique to a large extent to seek the welfare of his own family, the Yingchuan Xun family. The reason why he parted ways with Cao Cao was because later Meng De was a meritocracy, which harmed the interests of the family clan. However, whether this was true or false, and whether Xun Yu's loyalty was so pure or not, there was no need to argue for a long time. Zhuge Liang's fame was due to his loyalty and intelligence, and Xun Yu's bleakness was because he followed Cao Cao, who was disliked by later generations.
epilogue:
In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. Some people like Zhuge Liang, and naturally some people love Xun Yu alone. Of course, the successful shaping of Zhuge Liang's image is inseparable from the kings of later generations. They deified Kong Ming and then publicized his loyalty, just to make the world follow Zhuge Liang's example.
