Emperor Wu of Han had a large number of talents, where did these talents come from? Today, let's talk about Gongsun Hong:

In the winter and October of the first year of jianyuan (140 BC), emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne shortly after he ascended the throne, and wanted to do something big.

(Emperor Zhangxian's Hongye Xiude, Shangsan Yao and Shun, and the lower three kings.) ）

Therefore, he issued an edict to ask the senior members of the imperial court and the top dignitaries in various places.

(In the winter and October of the first year of the Jianyuan Dynasty, Zhao Xiang, Yu Shi, Liehou, Zhong'er Shi, Two Thousand Stones, and princes held up xianliang fang and spoke out to the extreme counselors.) ）

The state of Jingchuan in Shandong (菑川国, in modern Shouguang City, Shandong Province) saw the edict and elected Gongsun Hong, who was sixty years old at the time.

Gongsun Hong worked as a prison guard in his hometown when he was young, but was later dismissed from his post for breaking the law. Gongsun Hong, who had lost his position, had no financial resources, so he went to the sea to raise pigs for others.

(When he was a young jailer, he was guilty and spared.) Poor family, shepherding on the sea. ）

At that time, he had a remarkable fellow villager, called Hu Wusheng, who was the seventh disciple of Confucius (Confucius → Son Xia → Ram Gao → Ram Ping → Ram Land → Ram Dared to → Ram Shou → Hu Mother and Son were → Gongsun Hong), specialized in "Spring and Autumn", and served as a doctor (official position during the time of Emperor Jing of Han, responsible for keeping documents and archives, compiling writings, controlling ancient and modern times, imparting knowledge, cultivating talents, etc. ）

Influenced by the atmosphere of the township, Gongsun Hong also chose "Spring and Autumn" to start studying when he was in his forties. (More than forty years old, it is to learn the "Spring and Autumn" miscellaneous sayings.) But he was very poor and didn't have the money to buy books, because there were many bamboo forests in the place where he raised pigs, so he cut down bamboo in the cold bamboo forest, cut the bamboo with a knife, and cut the green bamboo into bamboo pieces and borrowed the Spring and Autumn Classics and copied it (this is the famous story of cutting bamboo in the Later Three Character Classic). Later, Hu Wusheng returned to his hometown and taught "Spring and Autumn" in his hometown, and Gongsun Hong often followed him to continue his studies.

(Woven in pu, bamboo cut.) He has no books, and he knows. ）

(In his old age, he taught qi di, and those who said "Spring and Autumn" in Qi Di learned from it, and Gongsun Hong was also quite impressed.) ）

Because he studied seriously, was well-informed (magnificent and well-informed), had good conduct (adoptive mother filial piety, stepmother died, and served for three years), lived a simple life (Hongwei cloth quilt, did not eat heavy meat), and was very good-looking, he was unanimously elected by The Kingdom of Sugawa.

However, after entering the dynasty this time, he was directly sent to the Xiongnu as an envoy, and due to his laymanship in diplomatic work, this line did not achieve satisfactory results for the emperor, and the emperor was very angry, and the consequences were serious. He had to resign and return to his hometown.

(The Xiongnu, in return, were unsatisfactory, angry, and thought they could not, and Hongnai was exempt from returning from illness.) ）

Ten years later, in the fifth year of Yuan Guang (130 BC), the emperor again issued an edict to ask for a person, and this time the state of Jingchuan once again elected him despite his resignation.

(Fu Zheng Xian Liang Literature, Shu Chuan Kuni Fu Push Shang Hong.) Sugawa Kunifu pushed Hiroshi. Hong Xie Yue: "I have tasted the west before, I can't stop using it, I am willing to choose more." "The Chinese people are firmly promoting. ）

After arriving at the imperial court, Emperor Wu of Han personally gave an examination.

("Dare to ask the Doctor: What is the origin of the way of heaven and man?") The effect of auspiciousness, what is expected by Ann? Yu and Tangshui drought, what is the reason for the blame? Kindness, righteousness, etiquette, and knowledge are appropriate, and when the facilities are safe? Belonging to the vertical karma, the change of things and ghosts, the charm of destiny, what about the abolition? ”）。

At that time, the hundred people elected by the whole country began to answer the questions, and Gongsun Hong's answer sheet was not rated as superior at first, but after Emperor Wu read it, he personally selected it as the first place. (Tai Chang ordered the Confucians to take various measures, more than a hundred people, and Hongdi was subordinate.) Orchestration, Tianzi promotion of Hiroshi as the first. So what did he say in his answer sheet? Let's take a look:

First: ways to govern the country.

Because they can serve as officials, they will be divided into different duties;

To go to useless words, then things get;

Not to be a useless instrument, that is, to give a province;

When the people are not seized, they may not be able to gain strength, and the people will be rich;

Those who have virtue advance, and those who have no virtue retreat, then the imperial court is respected;

Those who have merit are on top, and those who have no merit are down, then the group of subjects is subordinate;

If you punish a sin, you will stop committing adultery, and if you reward a virtuous person, you will be persuaded by your subordinates.

Second: the way to pass on the work to future generations.

The benevolent love also, the righteous should also be, the ceremonial ones are also performed, and the wise people are also the original.

To the benefit of eliminating harm, and to love selflessly, called benevolence;

Knowing right from wrong, standing up or not, saying righteousness;

There is a degree of progress and retreat, and there is a distinction between honor and inferiority, which is called etiquette;

The handle of killing, the paint of the plug, the weight of power, the way of gain and loss, so that the falsity of the near and far will be seen above, which is called the art.

Third: the method of spreading fame and coming to the DPRK from afar.

The same qi is from, and the sound ratio should be. Virtue with heaven and earth, ming and sun and moon. The Lord and virtue are above, and the people are united below, so the heart and harmony are qi and harmony, qi and form are harmonious, form and harmony are sound harmony, and sound and harmony are the sum of heaven and earth.

After Emperor Wudi of Han summoned him, he saw that this old man looked dignified, passed the interview, and was formally appointed as a doctor, just inheriting his teacher's position. (Summoned to see, very beautiful, worship as a doctor.) ）

Later, Gongsun Hong had been conscientiously serving as an official at Emperor Wu's side, and six years later, in the fifth year of Yuan Shuo (124 BC), the chancellor Xue Ze was dismissed from his post and appointed Gongsun Hong as a chancellor.

Judging from Gongsun Hong's example, one of the ways for Emperor Wu to find talents is as follows:

1. First ask the court officials and the top dignitaries in various places;
2. If you want to come, you will be sent to appoint them, and if you use them inappropriately, you will be exempted.
3. Then after a while, he continued to ask the court officials and the top dignitaries in various places;
4. Take the exam yourself.
5. See the exam paper in person and re-score the unsatisfactory ranking to determine the ranking.
6. Interview in person.

After reading this small example, I don't know if it inspires you?
