Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, has a bold and generous personality, is approachable, and open-minded, so he can naturally know people and be good at his duties, and gather many talents. For example, Han Xin, who is good at leading troops, Zhang Liang, who is good at strategizing, and Xiao He, who is good at managing accounts. It was these talents who could help Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu and establish the Han Dynasty.
This article mentions that Chen Ping, an important founding hero of Liu Bang, is good at strategy and reached the pinnacle of life by marrying a widow of Kefu, which also proves that successful men need women to support them.
Chen Ping's resume
In Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Chen Chengxiang's Family", the beginning tells about Chen Chengxiang's equal, a native of Yangwu Township. This also means that Chen Ping, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, was originally a native of Yangwuhu.
Chen Ping's family was poor when he was a child, but he liked to read. Although we often say that reading is useless, if we read more books and have a wider range of knowledge, we will improve our ability to analyze and judge things, talk extraordinarily, and do things at a higher level. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. It can be seen that Chen Ping's strategy and his actions in the future are also based on a rich knowledge base.
When Chen Ping was young, because his family was very poor, he had no way to take refuge with his elder brother, Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen is very particular about brotherhood, often ploughing the land in the field, and also conniving at his younger brother Chen Ping not to farm and not engage in production, all day long, wandering around, expecting him to make more friends and make friends with the world's heroes, so as to use network resources and make a difference.
Although Chen Ping does not plow the land, he is "beautiful and beautiful", that is to say, he is handsome and chic, and he is a dignified and beautiful man. The neighbors saw that a handsome guy was so handsome, but he didn't do his job all day long, so they sneered at Chen Ping: "Why is it poor to eat and fat?" "This is also to laugh at Chen Ping, you are so poor, why do you eat to become so obese?
On the other hand, Chen Ping's sister-in-law couldn't get used to seeing her uncle so lazy, so she couldn't help but reply to her neighbor: "What can he eat?" Haven't you eaten bran rotten vegetables yet? It is better to have such an uncle, than not to have one. This also expresses that my sister-in-law is very disgusted with Chen Ping's mixed meals at home.
Fortunately, Chen Ping's elder brother Chen Bo loves this younger brother very much. Hearing such words attacking his brother, he was naturally furious, so he divorced his wife, and he was extremely benevolent and loving to his younger brother.
Chen Ping became an older leftover man
Later, when Chen Ping reached the age of talking about marriage, although he was a handsome guy with a face like a crown of jade, no one in the township dared to marry a woman to Chen Ping and become in-laws.
No one in the township dared to marry his daughter to Chen Ping, and the reason was very simple. The rich family is afraid that marrying their daughter to such an idle person will ruin the family business. The poor family also disliked Chen Ping's poverty, and his daughter was too bitter to follow. In this way, a handsome guy Chen Ping became an older leftover man. Chen Ping was also ashamed that he couldn't marry a wife.
It just so happened that there was a rich man named Zhang Cheng in the township, who had a lot of money and was very prestigious in the local area. He has a granddaughter who is Bai Fumei, but unfortunately he was married five times, and each time her husband died. Therefore, many people think that Zhang Cheng's daughter is Kefuxiang, and no one dares to marry him, for fear that his life will be gone. After Chen Ping learned the news through a friend, he wanted to seek wealth in danger, if he married this wealthy widow, he could get the support of his wife's mother's family and easily counterattack life.
Chen Ping befriended the powerful
Fortunately, Chen Ping has always had a good popularity, and naturally ushered in a good opportunity to marry Zhang Ying. Once an important person in the village died, and the villagers held a funeral for him, and many famous people participated. Since Chen Ping made a lot of friends in the township, he was naturally invited to participate in the funeral. At the same time, the wealthy Zhang Cheng was also invited.
At the funeral event, Zhang Cheng saw that although Chen Ping was poor and sour, he was a talent and talked extraordinarily, so he was naturally willing to take the initiative to chat with Chen Ping. The two chatted very devotedly and forgot the time, which also made Chen Ping go early and return late at the funeral activities every day, and was busy chatting with Zhang Ying.
After chatting for a long time, Zhang Cheng is naturally familiar with Chen Ping, and is willing to follow Chen Ping to his home to visit. At home, Zhang Ying also saw that Chen Ping's family was poor, living in a remote alley on the outer city wall, using a broken mat as a door, and there was not a single wooden door, which showed that he was very poor.
However, on the other hand, Zhang Cheng also saw that at the door of Chen Ping's broken mat, there were ruts left by many dignitaries and nobles riding in carriages. It can be seen that although it is a humble room, it is a rich talk and laughter, and there is no vain exchange. He concluded that although Chen Ping's family was poor, he was an extraordinary talker and had superb interpersonal skills. He has a wide range of contacts, which proves that he has strong organizational skills, strong social appeal, and an absolutely high EQ IQ, and will definitely make a difference in the future. So, he wanted to marry his widowed granddaughter to him and climb to his in-laws through marriage.
Chen Ping married the daughter of a rich family
After Zhang Cheng went back, he said to his son Zhang Zhong: "I want to marry my granddaughter to Chen Ping." Perhaps, Zhang Zhong is the father of the widow of Kefu five times, but he raised an objection: "Father, the Chen Ping you mentioned is not engaged in farming and production activities, and he will not make money and is very poor. The whole township laughed at him for being lazy and idle, why did you marry your granddaughter to such a poor and white person? ”
In ancient times, it was important to pay attention to the right family, and it was difficult for a poor boy to marry a wealthy family. Zhang Cheng's granddaughter was the widow of Wuji Kefu, although no one dared to marry her. However, if you marry a poor boy like Chen Ping, it can be regarded as a grievance and a marriage, breaking the customs of society. Moreover, Zhang Zhongde objected completely out of consideration for the rest of his daughter's life.
Zhang Cheng said confidently: "Believe in my vision, a dignified person like Chen Ping will not be poor forever." So the crowd disagreed, and married the widow's granddaughter to Chen Ping. Chen Ping was also overjoyed, thinking that he did not plough the fields to engage in production, made friends extensively, and ushered in an opportunity for himself to change his fate. Moreover, he also thinks that his life is hard, and he dares to boldly marry the widow who everyone thinks is Kefu, and he can use the power of his wife's mother's family to soar for himself and gamble on his life.
Chen Ping received the help of Xian Neizhu
Zhang Cheng also saw his grandson-in-law Chen Ping, whose family was poor. So when he got married, he gave him a large sum of money as a dowry, and also gave him a lot of money to buy wine and meat, so that he could prepare for a banquet when he married his wife.
At the same time, Zhang Cheng also warned his granddaughter: "Don't treat Chen Ping's family as if they were poor, but treat their family as your own." You serve his brother Uncle Chen as you serve your father. Serving your sister-in-law should be like serving your mother. ”
In this way, Chen Ping has the support of his father-in-law, Zhang Yingjia, and his life is gradually rich, and he can use more funds to expand his contacts and make more and more friends.
Fate things are often weird. Although Zhang Cheng's granddaughter Miss Zhang was married five times, her husband died inexplicably. However, since she married Sun Ping, because of her good character, she has a husband and children at home, and her relationship with her husband Chen Ping and Chen Ping's brother and sister-in-law is very good, which can be regarded as a virtuous helper.
In this way, the signs of Miss Zhang's Kefu disappeared. Because of his wife's virtuousness, he took care of the rear of the family, so that Chen Ping had no worries and concentrated on developing his career, so he opened the Avenue of Stars in life. It can be said that this bet can be regarded as a win!
Chen Ping shows his ability
When Chen Ping climbed into the wealthy power of the Zhang family in the township, he became rich and famous, and became famous in the neighborhood, so he was recommended by everyone to be the chief priest of the township.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the job of the chief priest was to preside over the sacrificial activities, and when each sacrifice was completed, the chief priest redistributed the sacrifices to the common people. This kind of work is actually difficult to do, because it is difficult to ensure the fair distribution of sacrifices. Because people are selfish, if they give more to anyone, the rest of them will have opinions, they will complain, and they will be dissatisfied with the priests, and it is difficult to ensure that a bowl of water is even.
However, when Chen Ping was working as the chief priest, he revealed his superb organizational skills. Every time he divided the sacrificial meat, he was able to satisfy the people and make people happy.
Historical records:
The father said: "Good, Chen Ruzi is slaughtered!" Ping said: "Wow, so that Ping can slaughter the world, and it is like meat!" ”
That is to say, the villagers praised Chen Ping for being able to distribute the meat so well, satisfying everyone, and being so talented that he could become the prime minister in the future. Chen Ping also replied with an oath: "This is nothing!" If I can be the prime minister that day, I can also govern the world like meat, so that the people are satisfied! ”
It can be seen that Chen Pingnai has great ambitions, dreams of being the prime minister, and also has a mind to govern the world for the public!
Chen Ping threw himself into the anti-Qin uprising
Soon, the Daze Township Uprising broke out in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and the movement against the tyrannical Qin rule was surging. Chen Ping felt that this was the time to realize his ideals and ambitions, so he threw himself into the rolling anti-Qin wave.
Chen Ping first took refuge in Wei Ji. Wei Ji was the king of Chen Shengfeng, who was the first to revolt, and he himself did not have much initiative, he was not Bole, and naturally he did not know Chen Ping's ability to be a thousand-mile horse, so he arranged for him to be the official in charge of the carriage. Chen Ping's repeated suggestions, he also don't like to listen. In this way, Chen Ping saw that he couldn't meet a good leader, and he was destined to do nothing, so it was better to leave, and then left quietly.
After Chen Ping left Wei Qi, he defected to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. Although Xiang Yu valued Chen Ping at the beginning, he named him Xinwujun. However, Xiang Yu's temper is not very good, he has no principles in doing things, and often blames Chen Ping for no reason. Chen Ping couldn't stand the grievances, so he resigned and ran away, and ran to the Liu Bang Group, which was competing with Xiang Yu.
Chen Ping became the founding hero and prime minister
As a result, Chen Ping won the appreciation of the Ming lord Liu Bang, and naturally his life was all the way. In Liu Bang Group, Chen Ping was good at using his own strategy, and made great contributions to Liu Bang's defeat of Xiang Yu and the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, and became the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty.
When Liu Bang died, Empress Lü wanted to make Lü king, and Chen Ping was loyal to Liu Bang's Western Han regime, and first pretended to be obedient in the face of power. After the collapse of Lü, Chen Ping immediately conspired with Zhou Bo, the chief lieutenant, to destroy the rule of the Lü group, and set up Liu Bang's son Liu Heng as Emperor Xiaowen, saving Liu Bang's country.
After Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne, Zhou Bo made Chen Ping the prime minister after some humility.
epilogue
It can be seen that Chen Ping's life is a life of a son of a poor family who has fought hard and counterattacked as a prime minister. Since ancient times, behind a successful man is a woman who supports him. His life is also inseparable from the help of Bai Fumei's widow wife. Therefore, career and love have always complemented each other, and choosing a good partner is equivalent to half the success of life and career.
