The story of Zhao Dun, a powerful minister of the Jin Kingdom
Zhao Dun was an important minister of the Jin State during the Spring and Autumn Period, and he made great contributions in the process of helping the Jin Duke to unify the Jin State, and was regarded as one of the founding fathers of the Jin State.
Zhao Dun not only has great ambitions and political wisdom, but is also known for his profound music. He once advised the mediocre Jin Linggong to take care of the people lightly, but Jin Linggong not only did not listen, but also secretly plotted to kill Zhao Dun.
Zhao Dun was disheartened, and finally murdered Jin Linggong after a contest and seized the real power of the Jin Kingdom.
After the death of Duke Ling of Jin, his beloved retainer Tu Anjia held a grudge against Zhao Dun. After Zhao Dun's death, Tu Anjia staged a coup d'état and eradicated the Zhao family, and only Zhao Dun's daughter-in-law Zhao Zhuangji escaped with a posthumous son, so that the Zhao family lineage continued.
The death of Zhao Dun and the tragedy of the Zhao family's tragic destruction warn future generations to avoid setting themselves on fire and be careful to bury the root cause. As a family, we must not grudge against people everywhere, but also avoid getting involved in the whirlpool of power struggles, so that we can have long-term peace and prosperity and a prosperous family business.
The lessons of the life of the prison guards
Yan Jiansheng is a character in the classical Chinese novel "The Outer History of Confucianism", and he is a typical image of a man who values wealth over people.
Yan Jiansheng lived a frugal life, and was never willing to spend money to eat and drink in order to accumulate wealth. But his useless brother doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do anything, and he often goes out to cause trouble, and every time the strict prison student will pay money to help him deal with the aftermath.
Yan Jiansheng's first wife was sick and bedridden, and he was reluctant to spend money to hire a doctor to treat his wife, so he could only watch his wife die of illness.
Later, Yan Jiansheng himself became seriously ill, but he still refused to buy medicine for treatment, and made his condition worse and worse until he died.
Yan Jiansheng's only son also died young, and the Yan family had no one to inherit. Yan Jiansheng's life's money was inherited by his useless brother, causing the family to begin to decline.
The lessons of Yan Jiansheng's life make people understand that valuing money over family members can lead to the breakdown of family harmony; Focusing on the immediate rather than the long-term will lead to the decline of the family business.
For a family to have long-term peace and stability, benevolence is more important.
