From ancient times to the present, appearance has always been the first criterion for recognizing people, however, good-looking skin bags are the same, and interesting souls are one of the best.
After the old age, only virtue is the foundation of the body, in the Liao Kingdom there is such a minister, with "morality" revered by the world, this person is Zhang Jian.
Arrogant, "Ming Jun" reuses
Since birth, Zhang Jian is destined not to be an ordinary character, he was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, full of poetry and books, with remarkable achievements, in the fourteenth year of Liao Shengzong won the first place, in one fell swoop after entering the high school.
He is not inferior in intelligence intelligence, and he is not inferior in emotional intelligence, and the interpersonal relationships with his officials and colleagues are handled extremely well and get along very well.
Therefore, his career was smooth, and he was promoted from Shunzhou to Yunzhou, and it was here that he met his own Bole, Liao Shengzong.
When Emperor Shengzong of Liao inspected Yunzhou, officials who admired Zhang Jian's talent recommended Zhang Jian to him.
Zhang Jian and Liao Shengzong had the opportunity to talk, and during the exchange, Liao Shengzong was very satisfied with Zhang Jian's knowledge and ability, and he was very satisfied with the number of etiquette, and he who was quite appreciated by Liao Shengzong was quickly promoted.
Liao Shengzong was the only emperor in ancient Chinese history whose temple name was called "Shengzong", the so-called "praise for good and recommend the saint, respect for the soldiers and generous etiquette for the saint." It can be seen from this that the Liao Shengzong is a rare monarch in the eyes of the people.
Although Liao Shengzong and Zhang Jian were able to talk because of official introductions, according to the records in the "History of Liao", there is also a mysterious color.
It was said that Liao Shengzong once had a dream in which four people accompanied him and served them effectively, so Liao Shengzong rewarded them with some delicacies.
In his confusion, he seemed to hear one of them with the word "thrift" in his name.
After coming to Yunzhou, under the recommendation of the officials, he heard the word "Jian" here, and Liao Shengzong thought that if he had a divine introduction, he immediately summoned Zhang Jian.
When he met Liao Shengzong, Zhang Jian did not have the appearance of flattery from the officials, he was simply dressed, he was well-dressed, and when he learned that there was an opportunity to face the saint, he played more than thirty political affairs to the Saint in one brain.
So focused on state affairs, Liao Shengzong had to treat him differently, and soon, Zhang Jian was promoted to an important position in the imperial court such as supervising the imperial history, and his diligent and earnest attitude was well received.
The emperor burned clothes, and thirty years of robes were precious
In the eleventh year of Liao Taiping, Liao Shengzong's illness worsened, and he died, and Zhang Jian entrusted him with a heavy responsibility to continue to assist the new lord, Yelü Zongzhen, known as Liao Xingzong.
Liaoxingzong, like his father, was a person who cherished talent very much, and he always valued Zhang Jian, the only difference being that Liao Shengzong liked simplicity and unpretentiousness, while Liaoxingzong liked luxury even more.
In the face of today's completely different new emperor, Zhang Jian still does not change his true colors. Always adhering to the frugal style, eating only one dish a day, wearing coarse linen clothes, and savings are all given to the poor.
Because of Zhang Jian's poverty, an interesting thing happened between him and Liao Xingzong.
One day when he ascended to the throne, Zhang Jianbi was respectful and played important things very seriously, however, at this time, LiaoXingzong was already wandering around the world and did not take Zhang Jian's report to heart at all.
When he returned to his senses, his eyes were directly on Zhang Jian's body, and his eyes showed a bit of contempt, the robe that Zhang Jian was wearing had been worn for a long time, and almost every day he went to the court only had this one dress.
His dress stood out from the courtiers on the side, like a lump of black charcoal in a ball of flames.
He looked at it several times, and then thought about Zhang Jian's frugality, and suddenly had some ideas in his heart, thinking: "I would like to see how frugal and simple you Zhang Jian really is!" ”
He beckoned the attendant beside him, muttering two words in his ear, with an expression of readiness to watch the play.
Taking advantage of Zhang Jian's earnest prayers, he asked his attendants to quietly leave a hole in Zhang Jian's clothes as a mark with a fire clip, so that he could see how long Zhang Jian could wear it.
In the end, Liao Xingzong underestimated Zhang Jian's perseverance, and whenever he saw him wearing this robe again, Liao Xingzong couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't you changed this dress yet?" ”
He always got the same answer as always: "This is my ancestral robe, which has been worn for thirty years." As soon as he heard this, Liao Xingzong was as dumb as he ate Huang Lian.
How can a piece of clothing be worn for thirty years? Isn't this Zhang Jian's trick? A robe worn for thirty years is nothing more than a slick lie.
Thinking about it, Zhang Jian just wanted to use this matter to teach Liao Xingzong, as a monarch, advocating extravagance, not checking the sufferings of the people, but his heart was that the courtiers' clothes were too simple, and there was a wind that hurt the nobles, but he did not think about whether the people were ragged, as a monarch, this was a great failure.
Zhang Jian was deeply favored by the Liao Shengzong, and he had a heavy responsibility to entrust himself, and as a courtier, he had to choose to advise the new emperor in a self-deprecating way, informing him of the preciousness of the simple style.
Open the national treasury, porridge into dry gouging
After listening to Zhang Jian's kind words, although Liao Xingzong was silent on the surface, he was already well aware of Zhang Jian's patriotic heart in his heart.
He took pity on his poverty and could not bear to continue his life in rags, and immediately ordered the opening of the treasury, which was at his disposal.
In the face of such a gift, looking at the silk and silk in the treasury, jewelry and gold, he did not change his heart, and only picked three simplest cloths.
After being upright and caring for the people, Liao Xingzong became more and more respectful and trusting of Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian's own frugality not only made him physically and mentally clean, but also made him do a great thing to save all people from water and fire.
After Emperor Xingzong of Liao ascended the throne, he was preparing for the imperial conquest, and according to the rules of the Liao state, when the emperor was on the throne, he would first go to the home of the most respected minister to eat a meal.
The imperial cook went first, making a good meal, and Zhang Jian drove the imperial cook away, and when Liao Xingzong arrived, he personally made a bowl of porridge for him.
Liao Xingzong, who likes luxury and is accustomed to eating big fish and meat in the imperial palace, is somewhat resistant to the porridge in front of him, but it is Zhang Jian's cooking, and he has to drink, this drink, the porridge is sweet and refreshing, and he eats it with relish.
After the meal, the two discussed the war, Zhang Jian first said the advantages and disadvantages of the war, and then used porridge to hint at the suffering of the people after the battle, and Liao Xingzong, who was in a happy mood, immediately decided not to send troops again, avoiding the occurrence of a war.
Zhang Jian skillfully used a bowl of vegetable porridge to easily resolve a disaster, save the people of the world from water and fire, and be worthy of the prime minister of the Liao State.
Zhang Jian's existence is also telling the world that talent and learning are the real foundation of his life, and he who is attached to the society is worthy of the fame of a generation of loyal ministers and prime ministers, and is worthy of being the elder of the two dynasties.
From ancient times to the present, Zhang Jian's frugal simplicity is worth everyone to learn, in today's early consumption, the situation is unknown environment, frugal savings is everyone's worth doing behavior and habits.
And Zhang Jian's single-mindedness for the country, the quality of worrying about the country and the people is worth learning from more people in the same way, the people are the cornerstone of the country, there is a family for the people, and there is a home for the country.
