The Western Jin Dynasty collapsed, the Wuhu was chaotic, and the northern land suffered greatly. Shi Le, a slave-turned-native, seized a piece of land and became Emperor Houzhao. At that time, there was a high-ranking official named Xu Tong, who served as a lieutenant colonel, who was proficient in the art of wind appreciation, especially the face-to-face kung fu.
When Xu Tong first saw Zhi Jian, the grandson of the leader of the Yu clan, Zhi Hong, he was shocked: "This child actually has the appearance of a tyrant!" According to the time calculation, Jian Jian was also seven or eight years old at that time. Xu Tong decided that he would become a great instrument, and only sighed that he could not see it.
Soon after, Xu Tong met a dustpan seller on the street of Yicheng, and under a closer look, this young man was "magnificent and handsome, serious and resolute, and majestic", not only was he handsome and majestic, but mainly his temperament was too outstanding. Xu Tong couldn't help but want to understand it, and learned that this person was from the Shandong clan, who was originally a talented scholar, and this time he came to the capital to travel in order to broaden his horizons and gain insight. Xu Tong immediately said: What dustpans can you sell with your talents! Come, be me a secretary first, and ensure that your future is unlimited!
Unexpectedly, the young man just smiled slightly, gave thanks, picked up the dustpan, and walked away unhurriedly.
This young man, who had left Xu Tong with a tall back, was thirteen years older than Jian Jian. Xu Tong could see that he was outstanding, but he did not know that he later joined forces with Jian Jian to not only establish an empire with sufficient food and clothing, but also brought the prosperity of Haiyan Heqing to the people.
This scholar was Wang Meng, who was later known as the "first person of Gong gai Zhuge Ge".
After all, Zhuge Liang's great name and deeds are like the sun and the moon, and what kind of great cause has Wang Meng, who sold dustpans, done? And listen to the next slowly.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > talk about lice, and the roc bird is waiting for the time </h1>
It is said that Wang Meng returned to Xiyue Huashan and continued his secluded life of ploughing the fields, reading and selling dustpans.
About ten years later, in 354 AD, the famous general Huan Wen 's Northern Expedition defeated Former Qin Jian jian and garrisoned Bashang (灞上, southeast of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi Province).
Wang Meng wanted to see the color of this great general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wearing a sackcloth short coat, and came to the Huanwen camp to ask for a meeting.
Although it is roughly served on the outside, it cannot hide the inner quality of the golden jade. Huan Wen has eyesight and does not dare to underestimate such a penniless student. In the process of discussing the current situation, Wang Meng naturally reached into his arms and actually caught a lice, he did not care, pressed the lice on his finger and continued to talk. Just this kind of arrogance that is not alone also makes Huan Wen praised. This passage remains in the annals of history, and later generations call it "talking about lice".
After a conversation, Huan Wen sighed: Your talent is unmatched in Jiangdong! Therefore, he wanted to send him a car and a BMW, and also promised him an official position, and graciously invited Wang Meng to go south. Wang Meng was a little hesitant at that time, and went back to report to master—yes, he also had a master who was high in the world and did not see the end. Master said, "Qing and Huan Wen are not in the same world!" Here you can be rich, what is far away! ”
Master has a high vision and can see Huan Wen as a person. You can't cooperate with him, just study here steadily, have a set of riches waiting for you, why run so far!
Wang Meng obeyed, patiently waiting for the opportunity, "waiting for the wind and clouds to move."
A year later, Wang Meng was thirty-three years old. He knew that Zhuge Liang had already joined forces with Sun to successfully resist Cao Cao at this age, and also helped Liu Bei occupy Jingzhou, and his name was in the world.
At this moment, Wang Meng's opportunity to come out of the mountain also came.
Former Qin Emperor Jian Jian died, and his third son, Zhi Sheng, took the throne. This king was cruel to the point of perversion, killing people like hemp, "the courtiers were saved for one day, such as ten years." Seeing that people's hearts were lost, Jian Jian's nephew Donghai Wang Jianjian had the heart to support the society, and Shangshu Lü PoLou and other secret business matters. This Lü Shangshu vigorously recommended Wang Meng, who "does not come out of the world with a strategy", meaning that this kind of talent is not only unmatched in the world, but also belongs to the kind of one that can only be produced in hundreds of years! Jian Jian was very happy and invited Wang Meng to join his team.
Twenty-year-old Jian Jian read the Confucian classics, met wang Meng and hated late, talked about the rise and fall of history, the two people have a high degree of agreement, "if the unity of the contract", coupled with the intention of agreeing, enough to comfort life. Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to say that he was like a fish in the water, and Jian Jian also praised himself for meeting Wang Meng, "If Xuande met Kong Mingye".
Then, it is time for Wang Meng to display his unparalleled talents in the political arena.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > a small test of cattle knives, and The county of Shiping county eliminated the riots and chaos</h1>
In June 357, after some careful planning, Jian Jian launched the Yunlongmen Rebellion and led his soldiers to break into the palace late at night, and Emperor Gongsheng, who could have killed the beast with his bare hands, was drunk and was taken under house arrest on the spot. Jian Jian sat on the throne of the "Great Qin Heavenly King", and Wang Meng was appointed as the Zhongshu Waiter who was in charge of military secrets.
At the beginning of the succession of Jian Jian, the northwest gateway of Kyoto, Shiping County, was rampant, and the people were bitter, and Wang Meng was ordered to go to the government. As soon as he got out of the car, he ordered that a traitor who had committed many evil deeds and was extremely indignant by the people should be flogged and beaten to death in public, and the people would rush to tell him. Who knew that this traitor also had a network of connections through the heavens, and a group of foxes and dogs jointly filed a complaint, and Ting Wei arrested Wang Meng and imprisoned him.
Jian Jian personally interrogated: "For the sake of the body of government, virtue is the first, how can you kill people when you take office?" Too cruel, right? ”
Wang Meng calmly replied: "The subject heard that 'the rule of chaos in the country is the law', and His Majesty handed over such a big county to the subject, this is just killing a small traitor, and there are more lawless evil people!" Your Majesty, the courtiers cannot eliminate all these people who trample on the law, and return you a peaceful and happy Shiping County, that is to betray your trust and be willing to be thrown into a cauldron to be boiled! As for the word 'cruel' you said, the minister did not dare to do it! His words were righteous and stern, and he also said with heartfelt admiration: "Wang Meng really has the ability to manage Zhonghe and his son!" ”
Wang Meng was immediately pardoned, and Jian Jian let him go to "prescribe strong medicine".
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > grand plan and push reform to strengthen the country</h1>
Because of his outstanding political achievements, Wang Meng had already served as Zhongshu Ling at the age of thirty-six, plus the addition of a waiter and Jing Zhaoyin, with a high position, and his governing strategy was also implemented step by step.
In order to make the government order smooth, we must first suppress Haoqiang. The first representative of the black forces that Wang Meng aimed at was Guanglu Dafu Qiangde, who pretended to be the younger brother of the empress dowager, who was a traitor and a robber, and acted arbitrarily, which was a hegemon of Chang'an. Wang Meng suddenly made a move, sent someone to arrest him and directly cut him. Jian Jian knew the news, and when the emissaries arrived, Qiangde was already lying on the avenue.
Immediately afterward, Wang Meng joined hands with Yushi Zhongzhong and Deng Qiang, and within a few decades, they pushed more than twenty arrogant princes and nobles to the execution ground, and as one by one people's heads landed on the ground, people who had been xuanhe for a while had learned to behave in a low-key manner, and the atmosphere of the court was solemn.
The central authority has been enhanced, and the mountain has been made, and Jian Jian also feels very comfortable, and further reforms will be easy to implement.
Wang Meng created a system of recommending rewards and punishments and a new standard for the evaluation of officials, and he proposed that in a big way of culture and education, officials should take the lead, and more than one hundred stones must "learn a lesson before becoming an art", otherwise they will take off their hats and go home to sell sweet potatoes.
Next, yan jia stopped the army, stabilized the people, lightly dispensed with the small endowment, and developed agriculture. Jian Jian trusted Wang Meng extremely much, and also highly cooperated, personally cultivating, and the empress also went to the suburbs to raise silkworms.
Wang Meng is in power, honest and self-disciplined, self-denying and serving the public, never arrogant and arrogant, and never let people grasp the handle.
A few years later, the Former Qin Empire rose to peace in all parts of the world and prospered in wufu. The folk song is sung like this: "Chang'an Avenue, sandwiched with poplar locusts." Walk down the Zhu wheel, and there is a luan perch. Hidehiko gathered and taught me cuteness. ”
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > expand the territory, and the dianxiong soldiers will win thousands of miles</h1>
With the continuous enhancement of the country's strength, Jian Jian and Wang Meng began to plan, sweeping through Liuhe and unifying the world.
In 367, the Qiang rebellion in the west, the former Liang monarch Zhang Tianxi wanted to fish in muddy waters and sent troops to seize the territory. Wang Meng personally led the army to go out, and after a few rounds, the Qiang were flattened, and the former Liang officers and soldiers were killed by more than 17,000 people, and Zhang Tianxi had to bow down to his subjects.
Just as Wang Meng was fighting liangzhou, a fire broke out in the backyard. The four dukes who were guarding the military key points rebelled at the same time, and Jian Jian's cousins also wanted to take advantage of the fire, threatening to attack Chang'an. After Wang Meng put down the rebellion, he quickly returned to the division, first beating Liu Liu to the point of abandoning his armor and then breaking the other three, and the Duke of Guo was defeated and killed.
In 369, Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty rebelled against Former Yan. Wang Meng offered advice: first send troops to retreat from the Jin army with Yan, and then take advantage of Yan's decline and decline. In September, the combined forces of Yan and Qin defeated the Jin army, killing more than 40,000 enemy troops, and Huan Wen fled in a daze. Afterwards, Yan broke the covenant not to cut off the land west of the Tiger Prison Pass to Qin. Wang Meng commanded an army of 30,000 Yan, broke Luoyang in the first battle, and then fought in Kexingyang, and the Qin army returned with a brigade.
In the summer of 370, Wang Meng commanded another 60,000 troops to attack Former Yan, and the auxiliary chancellor Murong Ping led an army of 300,000 to meet the battle. Faced with an enemy five times stronger than himself, Wang Meng first took the fortress of Huguan, then captured the important town of Jinyang, and then led his army south to fight Murong Jue, and the Former Yan army was defeated. Wang Meng drove east and besieged Yecheng, but Murong Jue and the emperor Murong Wei abandoned the city and fled, and Former Yan perished. One hundred and fifty-seven counties, nearly ten million people belonged to Former Qin.
In 371, Former Qin destroyed the southwestern state of Qiuchi and then surrendered to the nearby Tuguhun. In 373, the Former Qin army entered the Eastern Jin Dynasty and conquered Liang Prefecture and Yi Prefecture in one fell swoop.
At this point, Former Qin basically unified the north and occupied the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, ranking seventh in the world, and Wang Meng's career development reached its peak.
In 375, Wang Meng became ill with exhaustion and regretted his death, leaving his son with a will to cultivate the fields with ten cattle, and the rest asked for nothing.
Regarding Wang Meng's martial arts of Wenzhi, it has been briefly described as above, whether his deeds can be compared with Zhuge Liang, who assisted Liu Bei in capturing Jingyi, establishing the Shu Han Dynasty, stabilizing the southern central region, and the five Northern Expeditions.
