"Taiping Guangji" short story
Liu Yuxi, a famous great poet of the Tang Dynasty, served as a foreign lang of Tuntian in his early years. The political situation at that time was very complicated, and it seemed that in a short time he had hope of soaring. ——This refers to the "Yongzhen Innovation", and if successful, Liu Yuxi will definitely be reused.
Liu Yuxi heard that a monk speculated that people's qi and destiny were particularly enlightening. Once, he was on a night watch in the provincial office and invited the monk to the provincial office. Liu Yuxi was just about to ask the monk how his official fortune was, when someone suddenly reported that there was a Wei Xiucai waiting outside the door to ask for a meeting. Liu Yuxi had no choice but to let Wei Xiucai come in first, and let the monk sit under the curtain and wait.
Wei Xiucai came in and sent his own paper, and Liu Yuxi was particularly unconcentrated because he had something in his heart, so he just took a cursory look. Wei Xiucai noticed that Liu Yuxi's attitude was a little perfunctory, so he retreated and left.
After that, Liu Yuxi asked the monk about his official fortunes. The monk hesitated a little, and sighed for a long time before saying, "What I want to say, you must not be happy to hear it." Do you see what I said? Liu Yuxi said, "Just say it." The monk said, "Your future official position is the main position of your current position." However, you have to wait until the Wei Xiucai who came in can help you arrange it. ”
Hearing these words, Liu Yuxi was very angry and asked the monk to leave. As a result, within ten days, the "Yongzhen Innovation" failed, and Liu Yuxi was demoted. This is the famous "Eight Sima Incident" in history.
And this Wei Xiucai is the later Prime Minister Wei Zhihou. Wei Zhihou served as Zhongshu Ling, and after taking charge of the imperial government, he transferred Liu Yuxi to the main post of Tuntian Langzhong. #Chinese historical figures ##历史故事#
