Guo Ziyi made a great contribution at the age of 75, And when Emperor Daizong asked him what reward he wanted, Guo Ziyi quietly said to Emperor Daizong, "Can the emperor reward 6 beauties of Wei chen?" Emperor Tang Daizong couldn't help but laugh, but as Guo Ziyi wished, he selected six beauties to send to his palace.

After Guo Ziyi pacified Tubo, because of his outstanding military achievements, Emperor Tang asked him what reward he wanted from above the main hall, who knew that Guo Ziyi was amazing.

The old man knelt down on the temple with a loud cry and replied in a loud voice: The old minister wants six beautiful women, just like the beautiful women in the palace.

Emperor Daizong was also stunned, he was very surprised, Guo Ziyi's image of Wei'an in the emperor's heart also collapsed in an instant, although the historical Xiao Yong warriors said that they had similar hobbies, but no one was as chaotic as Guo Ziyi, the first fierce general in the Three Kingdoms period only loved the mink cicada alone, how could this Guo Ziyi suddenly want 6 beautiful women, it was really incredible.

But Guo Ziyi said so, if Tang Dynasty Emperor did not agree, wouldn't it seem that he was a little family? Therefore, with a wave of his hand, he carefully selected 6 beautiful people and gave them to Guo Ziyi to bring home.

It didn't take long for this absurdity to reach the ears of the ministers, and everyone was talking about it, and Guo Ziyi was disrespectful to the old man. Guo Ziyi did not care at all, and even opened the door to welcome the ministers to his house to have fun and admire the beauties.

Because of his father's "shamelessness", Guo Ziyi's son Guo Huan was ridiculed by his friends, which made him angry, and when he went back, he threw a tantrum at his father: "Father, you are a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, you should be respected, but you see, for a few women, a british name has been lost, is it worth it?" ”

Guo Ziyi sighed and said, "You are still too young, now we Guo Jiagong is highly shocked, although we are bent on the imperial court, it is difficult to prevent the villains from making accusations to the emperor." In order to protect myself and protect the Guo family, I could only learn from Xiao He of the Han Dynasty to defile himself. ”

This is the reason why Guo Ziyi has gone through the Seven Emperors and can still die well. The emperor likes his own flawed courtiers the most, greedy for money, lustful, as long as the courtiers do not compete with him after the merits of the lord, even if you have more shortcomings, the emperor will steal the pleasure.

Just like the famous general white, why did he die? King Zhaoxiang of Qin once said: "I know that although you do not have the heart to rebel, but you have the strength to rebel", the emperor's heart is afraid, so only if you die, he can rest assured!

Once, Guo Ziyi was enjoying a song and dance performance, when the next person suddenly reported that Lu Qi had asked to see him. Frightened, Guo Ziyi immediately threw all the female relatives in the family into the inner house.

Afterwards, someone asked Guo Ziyi why he was afraid of Lu Qi with his honorable status.

Guo Ziyi explained in a serious tone that Lu Qi's appearance was strange and ugly, and his heart was still extremely narrow-minded. If the woman saw him, she would definitely treat him with contempt, and if she was held in the heart by Lu Qi, when it was his turn to hold great power in the future, the entire Guo clan would probably suffer.

Therefore, Guo Ziyi chose to entertain Lu Qi alone, and the two drank and chatted, talking and laughing, and looked very harmonious. During this period, Guo Ziyi always did not forget to self-depreciate and praised Lu Qi in every way, and Lu Qi was very satisfied.

A year later, Lu Qi was promoted to the rank of prime minister, and his power fell to the opposition. At this time, he began to eliminate dissidents, and many loyal and good generals were also persecuted by Lu Qi, such as Du You, Li Yun, etc., and the most famous was the persecution of Yan Zhenqing.

Lu Qi asked Yan Zhenqing, who was already in his seventies, to represent the imperial court in the rebel army and convey the will of the imperial court. In the end, Yan Zhenqing was killed by the angry rebels after the rebels fell into a disadvantage.

However, Guo Ziyi, who was revered as "Shang Father" at that time, did not become his target, that is because Guo Ziyi treated Lu Qi with a "VIP gift", fully satisfied his vanity, avoided his resentment against the Guo family, and thus escaped a disaster of annihilation!

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind is not stopping, although Guo Ziyi always wants to keep a low profile, but unfortunately the strength is not allowed, and soon, the eunuch Yu Chao'en plans to test Guo Ziyi's loyalty for Tang Dynasty. He took advantage of Guo Ziyi's expedition outside to dig up guo Ziyi's father's grave.

The ministers were frightened and scattered, could it be that Yu Chao'en wanted to force Guo Ziyi against him? If Guo Ziyi really raised an army, there was Hui Qi to help from the outside, and there were ordinary people Jing Cong, and the Tang Dynasty's Guozuo was at the end. Emperor Daizong of Tang also felt that Yu Chao'en had gone a little too far, and when Guo Ziyi returned to the dynasty, he told him in 1510.

Guo Ziyi trembled with anger after hearing this, and the servant Gu Huai'en was also forced to rebel by such a eunuch. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he understood the intention of Yu Chao'en's move, and said with tears: "I have been leading soldiers for a long time, and I cannot forbid soldiers to damage the graves of the people, and others to dig up my father's graves. ”

Tang Dynasty Emperor was stunned for half a moment, he really did not expect Guo Ziyi to be so magnanimous and reasonable, looking at the whole world, I am afraid that I could not find a second person, so I nodded with satisfaction, and almost gave him a thumbs up.

Later, Emperor Daizong not only married his daughter Princess Shengping to Guo Ziyi's son Guo Huan, but also truly regarded Guo Ziyi as his own family.

There is a classic play in Peking Opera called "Playing Golden Branches", which tells the story of Guo Ziyi.

In 781, the eighty-five-year-old Guo Ziyi died of his death, and the imperial court posthumously awarded him the title of Taishi (太師), giving him the title of Zhongwu (忠武), accompanied by the temple court of Emperor Daizong, and buried with the tomb. Emperor Dezong of Tang also abolished the dynasty for five days, ordered his courtiers to mourn, and personally visited Anfumen to pay tribute, and mourned to the extreme. Guo Ziyi is like the needle of Datang's sea god, and his departure is a huge loss for Datang.

Guo Ziyi was born as a martial general, and after seven dynasties, he still stood firm, and finally he was able to die well, and truly achieved "the merit of the world and the Lord is not doubtful, the position of the people is not sick, the poor and extravagant and the people are not wrong", he is a person with great wisdom.

Putting aside Guo Ziyi's exploits, he also knows the way to deal with the world. Treating the boss, being able to protect himself, treating colleagues, and dealing with different people, there are different ways to deal with it, which is the philosophy of his life that can flourish for a long time.
