Jia Yi, this person, has been secretly cursed by countless contemporary students, without him, "The Theory of Passing Qin" is too difficult to memorize!
But from the Han Dynasty to the present, Jia Yi has received countless attention and is undoubtedly a big Internet celebrity in the literary circle.
Sima Qian gave him and Qu Yuan a biography together; Su Dongpo, who loved food and I loved the truth more, wrote a special article "On Jia Yi"; the great leader Chairman Mao twice wrote poems to comment on Jia Yi in ten years, praising his talent and regretting his encounters.
When it comes to Jia Yi, the first words that pop out of the head are often the four words of "Huai Cai does not meet", especially Li Shangyin's two sentences of "Poor night half empty front seat, do not ask cangsheng to ask ghosts and gods" is even more aggravating people's view of Jia Yi, in fact, Jia Yi is not a talented person, he has both talent and luck.
Sometimes people tend to overestimate their abilities, especially the literati of ancient times. At that time, there was no Douyin WeChat, everyone was bored to read, some people did not even come out of the house for several years, short-sighted caused the literati group to generally think too highly of themselves, think that they were talented, and did not write poems everywhere to complain if they did not give a big official.
Jia Yi obviously did not have any trouble in this regard, people read a wide range of books and wrote, in Luoyang that piece is a well-known talent, go out to wear a headscarf to prevent paparazzi tracking.
Although Jia Yi quickly caught fire in Henan, Luoyang was not close to Chang'an, and he and the biggest boss at that time, Emperor Wen of Han, were thousands of mountains and rivers.
Jia Yi's character was quite explosive, he first met the Henan County Shou Wu Gong who appreciated him, became the chief Zhi Duoxing under Wu Gong's door, and within a few years Wu Gong was promoted, and was appointed by Emperor Wen of Han as the highest official in charge of the country's judiciary.
The old leader strongly recommended Jia Yi to Emperor Wen of Han, patted his chest and packed the ticket, saying that the emperor will listen to me, this young man with the surname Jia is definitely a character, and he must not be wrong.
It just so happened that Emperor Wen of Han also felt that those ministers were all old and old, trembling and not even having a little vitality, so he immediately summoned Jia Yi to the capital and appointed him as a doctor, responsible for sorting out the literature and writing a book, at this time, Jia Yi was only in his early twenties.
Jia Yi's promotion path was far from over, within a year, he was promoted to the fifth rank in a row, and he was given such a prominent position as Taizhong Dafu, and Emperor Wendi of Han also wanted him to serve as a public secretary, because he was resisted by the gongchen faction.
So young to achieve a high-ranking official of Sengoku, who wants to say that Jia Yihuai did not meet, it is estimated that Jia Yi will sit up from the coffin and compare your middle finger, people this is obviously a Maxima met Bole.
Jia Yi's talent is really not covered, he can achieve the position of high-ranking official is not because of a strong background, but all depends on personal strength.
Whenever Emperor Wen of Han was soliciting opinions in the court, the group of old ministers who had obtained important positions by military merit scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks and were overwhelmed, only Jia Yi stepped forward and gushed endlessly, and Emperor Wen of Han nodded repeatedly: "It is so good to say, it is really talking to my heart." ”
Jia Yi don't look at the life expectancy is very short, only lived for 33 years, but people's suggestions are quite a lot, and the quantity and quality are also good. Regardless of whether Emperor Wen of Han adopted it or not, anyway, people were in front of Emperor Wen of Han every day, and Emperor Wen of Han was not annoyed, and Xiao Jia was also for his own good, which Emperor Wendi of Han still understood in his heart.
The core idea put forward by Jia Yi is that the Han Dynasty needs to be transformed, and it cannot become the system left by the Qin Dynasty, and it must be innovated and reformed.
I have to say that the advanced nature of Jia Yi's thought, although some people had made similar suggestions before him, but they were all small fights, and they could not be on the table at all, until Jia Yi appeared, and only then did he systematically expound the transformation theory.
This cannot be blamed entirely on the emperors and ministers, whose knowledge is limited.
When the Han Dynasty was first established, Liu Bang was busy quelling rebellions everywhere, and besides, he was a rogue, his education level was very low, and he was still immersed in the excitement of defeating Xiang Yu, and he was completely unplanned for the top-level design of the Han Dynasty.
Arriving at the short-lived Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying, Lü Hou was busy killing the princes surnamed Liu and sealing his old Lü family members, as long as he could sit firmly in the world, and the transformation did not transform to care about her.
Arriving at Emperor Wen of Han, a thunderbolt sounded in the sky, and Jia Yi came to help. From the economy to the people's livelihood, from the law to the military, there is nothing he does not understand in astronomical geography.
Many of his suggestions were quite advanced and lofty, such as changing the calendar and setting the first day of the new year as the first day of the new year; changing the color of clothes, Jia Yi suggested that the emperor change to yellow; and what "legal system", "official names", and "Xingli Le", but unfortunately they were not adopted by Emperor Wen of Han.
The reason is very simple, Emperor Wen of Han has no foundation at all when he came to power, he is busy disintegrating the Gongchen clique to consolidate political power, where there is no space to tidy up this pile of empty heads, but these theories put forward by Jia Yi have finally been implemented, that is already the matter of Emperor Han Wendi's grandson Emperor Wu of Han, and I will not repeat it here.
But Jia Yi had two suggestions that Made Emperor Wendi of Han pat his thigh and praise: "Good idea, great." These two suggestions, one is "Liehou Xi is on the country", the other is "building princes and building less power", these two suggestions can simply be selected as the top five best golden ideas of the Han Dynasty.
First, let's look at the proposal of "The Princes of the Republic of China", which is aimed directly at the Meritorious Group. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, they were all enfeoffed with military merit, and the big men of the military merit group, such as Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, and Dou Bao, were all given the title of marquis, but they were all county marquises.
As a result, none of these old brothers were willing to return to their fiefdoms, first, they had a grandiose reason, they were still holding a position, they must not live up to the emperor's expectations, they must do a good job, and they will never return to their fiefdoms to enjoy the blessings; second, how convenient it is to stay in the capital, the information at the feet of the Heavenly Son is smooth, and if there is a wind-blowing self who can get a letter first, if he returns to the fiefdom where the birds do not, the knife is on the neck and he does not know.
This caused the gathering of big men in Chang'an, the capital. These people were once close comrades-in-arms on the battlefield, forming a dense network of power through marriage and other means, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, which made the emperor a headache.
Jia Yi's suggestion made the confused Han Wendi see the dawn, yes, drive these old guys back to their hometown, the connection between them will naturally be broken, and it will not pose a threat to the regime, which is called divide and rule.
Good idea, but Emperor Wen of Han did not fully adopt Jia Yi's suggestion, he according to his own preferences, for Zhou Bo, who did not like how to look at it, directly bombed back to the fiefdom, for useful irrigation, continue to stay in the central government, this is called theory combined with practice.
Another article aimed at the princes' "building princes and reducing their strength", which Emperor Wen of Han praised, but did not implement.
Although the princes had to solve it sooner or later, under the conditions at that time, Emperor Wen of Han still needed the strength of the princes to compete with the gongchen clique, and the lesser of the two powers was the lesser, pondering and pondering, and could only press that restless heart, and first endure not to clean up this gang of princes surnamed Liu.
Jia Yi's proposal, the predecessor of the later Han Wudi "sub-feudal system", in addition to changing the name, the content is similar, which can also show Jia Yi's political talent.
Because Jia Yi moved the bread of the Meritorious Group, he was attacked by the gang of old ministers, and Jia Yi's advanced ideas were no longer adopted, and he felt extremely worried. After that, he was sent to the side of the King of Changsha as a taifu, always feeling that the land in Changsha was incompatible with his own, worried that the humid air would ruin his health and make his life short.
Literati usually write poems and songs to express the depressed feelings in their hearts, and Jia Yi is no exception, and "Hanging Qu Yuanfu" is not less written.
Emperor Wen of Han did not forget Jia Yi, and summoned him back a year later, when the sacrifice had just been completed, Emperor Wen of Han asked Jia Yi about the ghost gods, and Jia Yi spoke with great joy, and Emperor Wen of Han listened with relish.
Soon after, Emperor Wen of Han made Jia Yi the master of his younger son Liang Huaiwang, and as a result, a few years later, When Liang Huaiwang was riding a horse, he fell down with his head down and died unexpectedly, which should have nothing to do with Jia Yi, and as a result, Jia Yi blamed himself, thinking that he was not a good master, locking himself in the house every day and crying, and died a year later.
In fact, Jia Yi's short life was quite smooth, and the problem was that his thinking was too advanced and a little too idealistic. Although Emperor Wendi of Han knew that what he said was correct, many suggestions could only stay at the theoretical level, and it was difficult to implement them, and the time and place were not occupied.
It can only be said that Jia Yisheng's time was not right, Emperor Wen of Han had too many constraints, if he followed Jia Yi's ideas in full, sooner or later he would be ousted by the Gongchen clique and the princes, and if Jia Yisheng was in the period of Emperor Wu of Han, then he would definitely make a difference.
Sometimes being too good is not necessarily a good thing, too sharp and too exposed will inevitably lead to jealousy, coupled with Jia Yi's desire to fundamentally uproot the big tree of the Hero Group, touching the key interests of some people, so they will inevitably desperately blackmail him.
Jia Yi's story also tells us that if you want to be a little open, don't be too narrow-minded, good health is really good, and no matter how big your ambitions are, you are useless.
