Ah Yuan
In Wang Mang's short-lived new dynasty, there was a figure who ascended to the heavens step by step and took a step forward in the clouds, Lament zhang.
Is The Lamentations too student, roughly equivalent to the current Ph.D.? It's still the kind that has expanded.
What scale did Wang Mang expand Taixue to? Put too many students to the level of not as good as ordinary college students.
When taixue was first established in the Han Dynasty, there were only fifty students. This is even more demanding than the enrollment of HKUST's junior class. Later, it expanded a little bit, and by the time of emperor Cheng of Han, it was 1,000 people. At this time, too many students are more precious than postdocs.
After Wang Mang became emperor, he wanted to turn himself into an emperor who had never come before or after the ancients, and turned Taixue into an unprecedented huge amount, enrolling 10,000 people, which was tenfold larger!
So what is the future of these students? Every year, 100 people are selected to enter the government.
From the perspective of finding a job, Wang Mang's taixue period was worse than the current junior high school.
But there is a person who has ascended to the heavens one step at a time from this taixue that is similar to junior high school.
This man's name is Wai Zhang.
Before Wang Mang usurped Han, he used Xiangrui to find a reason for himself to be emperor.
At the beginning of Wang Mang's return to power, the "Yue Qiao Clan", who had never heard of the Zhou Dynasty, once again went far and wide, and offered a white pheasant.
There is a tradition of the Yue clan to offer white pheasants. It is said that when the Zhou Dynasty was in charge of the Zhou Dan Ji Dan regency, the guy was old and righteous, and he was touched by the heavens. Not only did the Zhou Dynasty's orders go to the places where the wind and rain were smooth, and the country was safe and secure. It also allowed the Yue tribe thousands of kilometers away, which is now in the Vietnamese area, to benefit, and it is also smooth sailing. There are capable people in this Yuetang tribe, and when I saw that God was so good, I understood that there were saints in the world.
Where are the saints? That is the Chinese sage Zhou Gong! To say that the development of science and technology is not useful, people thousands of years ago, through telepathy, can know that there is a saint thousands of miles away, even where to live in the name knows, than the current mobile phone, satellite phone and the like is much better to use, much stronger than Weibo, WeChat, at least people do not have to spend money to buy mobile phones, but also do not have to spend traffic.
Because the Western Zhou Dynasty produced a saint, the chief of the Yuebei tribe sensed it, so he sent a person, carrying a white pheasant, to pay tribute to him. Because the distance was so far away, when the emissary arrived in the Zhou Dynasty, he hired nine interpreters. Because there were too many princes in the middle gap, and the languages of the various princes' countries were different, his words had to be translated one by one through nine translations, and finally Zhou Gongji Dan could understand them.
Zhou Gongjidan was very happy, and played a small song for this messenger, estimating that it would take nine translations to speak, which was too laborious. Then he gave him a large bag of gold and silver treasure and sent him home. As a result, the messenger's brain went into the water, and he could not find the road when he touched the road. Zhou Gong had no choice but to build him a guide car, point out the direction for him, and let him push the car home.
Because Wang Mang derbyed the Duke of Zhou, the Yue Clan once again felt the call of the saint and came again.
But just a white pheasant proved that Wang Mang was a saint, and it almost meant it, so all kinds of auspicious rui appeared.
In the third year of Wang Mangju (8 AD), the chief of Changxing Pavilion in Linzi County, Qi County, met a god and immortal in a dream, and said to him: "I am the messenger of the Heavenly Gong. The Heavenly Minister told the Emperor that the Emperor should be true. If you don't believe me, there should be a new well in this pavilion. ”
The next day, the pavilion chief was shocked to find that the location outside the door was still flat yesterday, and there was really a new well! At a glance, the probe is 100 feet into the ground, and the well edge is smooth,...... This and this are definitely not dug up by human beings, but can only be done by gods and immortals.
The pavilion chief went down into the well and fished out a flawless white stone in the posture of a monkey fishing for the moon! Below the upper circle, there are eight ancient characters written by DanShu on the stone: "Tell An Han Gong Mang to be the emperor!" ”
Soon, this Xiangrui was sent to Guanzhong together with the Bajun Stone Cattle and Yong Shiwen found in different places and at the same time, and the people were sensationalized. These three stones were placed in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, and Wang Mang took a few of his cronies to watch.
At the moment when Wang Mang stepped into the front hall, suddenly the heavenly wind rose and the sand flew away. When the wind stopped, I found that on the empty ground in front of the three stones, a sparkling copper rune map appeared!
It reads: "Heavenly Emperor Rune, the devotee is crowned." Accept the Mandate of Heaven and use the Divine Decree. ”
Oh God, this is a proper miracle!
The group of courtiers immediately knelt down and said, Lord God has spoken all about this, Prince Mang of An Han, you don't have to twist and squeeze and do what the emperor is, directly subject to the Zen of Han, when the real emperor is it!
But Wang Mang still refused, three words and three concessions, not how to do it.
At this time, it was still too student's lament and seized the biggest opportunity.
Dressed in yellow clothes, Ai Zhang sent the boxes carefully made by the two craftsmen to the High Temple, and said to the servants who managed the temple: "The emissaries of the Heavenly Emperor ordered me to send the golden gift, please hand it over to the Duke of An Han immediately." ”
When these two golden gifts were delivered to Wang Mang's hands, he opened them and saw that there were originally two copies of the strategy book, which said that even the Red Emperor Liu Bang, who had gone to heaven, felt that the Han family was exhausted, Wang Mang was the true son of heaven, and the empress dowager should act according to providence.
Whether the trick becomes good or not depends on the degree of belief of the audience. Wang Mang pushed the boat along the water, decided to hit the iron while it was hot, so he went to the High Temple to receive Zen, changed the Yuan Ding number, and started with Hai Nei, completing the cause of the Han Dynasty.
However, in the Book of Najin Ce, other contents were also written, such as the bold prediction that the new dynasty would have a core leadership team composed of eleven people, in addition to Wang Mang's close confidant Liu Xin and eight others, of course, Aizhang himself was also listed on it.
Because of the dedication of Xiangrui, the mourning chapter suddenly went from being a student of tai to entering the highest leadership of the new dynasty.
In the new dynasty official system, the highest official position is the eleventh duke, and the mourning chapter is the Meixin gong in it, ranking in the top three.
If you look at the people's lamentations, what we often say about the third level in a row is simply too much, nothing.
So is The Lamentations the first person to ascend to heaven in one step?
Definitely not.
Along with the lamentations, there are those who have a lower status than the lamentations.
In order to gather eleven people, he also fictionalized two people, one named Wang Xing and the other named Wang Sheng, taking the auspicious meaning of prosperity.
Wang Mang pressed Tu Suoji, and finally this good luck fell on Wang Sheng's head.
This Wang Sheng is the one whose companions, who sell burnt bread, and will not let him say.
Compared with Wang Xing, another who guarded the city gate, Wang Sheng's status could not be lower. Farmers, industrialists, and merchants are the lowest. Wang Sheng is still a small trader among merchants, and he has arrived home.
Wang Sheng was only one of the thousands of peddlers in Chang'an City, but because of his name, he was accidentally written into a letter from "Liu Bang" recommending Wang Mang as emperor, and he ascended to the heavens one step at a time and became a prince and nobleman.
Wang Sheng, and the little soldier Wang Xing were lucky, equivalent to picking up a large pie that fell from the sky. However, because the pie was too big, and the inertia of falling from the sky was too great, it actually smashed them to death.
Wang Xing's luck was a little worse, from the small soldier guarding the gate, after becoming a general of The Guards, after being enfeoffed with the new duke, he was involved in the case of Wang Mang's grandson Wang Zong's treason, was punished by Zhu Lian, and killed himself.
Wang Sheng died in 23 AD. At that time, the rebel army attacked Chang'an, Wang Mang was killed, and Wang Sheng, the "Duke of Chongxin", was standing next to Wang Mang and was also killed.
But although Wang Sheng soared into the sky, he was not the highest fly.
Flying higher than Wang Sheng was Xiong Xin.
Xiong Xin is a royal family of the Chu state, and after the Chu state was destroyed by the Qin state, Xiong Xin lived in seclusion in the countryside and made a living by shepherding sheep.
One day, the bear heart sheep was well released, and suddenly a large number of people rushed over, kneeling down and worshipping, calling himself the king.
It turned out that after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang cut the wood for the soldiers and unveiled the pole, the heroes of the world responded in groups. The famous Chu generals Xiang Yan followed Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, and also raised troops against Huiji. After Chen Sheng's death, Xiang Liang put the leaders of the various rebel armies together and discussed it. The strategist Fan Zeng said, "Although chu has three families, Qin will be chu. Why did Chen Sheng fail, because he was a mud-legged man and established himself as king, who could take him seriously? General Xiang Liang was a general of the Chu state and should support the descendants of the king of Chu! ”
Xiang Liang sprinkled everywhere (see) and found Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Huai of Chu, who was herding sheep. Xiang Liang embraced Xiong Xin as the King of Chu Huai and became an ally of the rebels.
Chen Sheng established himself as king from a peasant, and everyone did not take him seriously, and they all established themselves as kings, so the bear heart should be one size smaller.
Xiong Xin almost became emperor, but unfortunately his luck was a little worse.
Xiang Liang made Xiong Xin the king of Huai, in order to win the greatest support of public opinion, in fact, it is a decoration, taking a proper meaning. But Xiang Liang's death gave Xiong Xin a chance to gain real power.
In 208 BC, Zhang Handan led the Qin army to defeat Xiang Liang, who was killed, and then turned around and attacked the State of Zhao. Xiang Liang's death created a power vacuum in the Chu state, and Xiong Xin, the king of ChuHuai, the titular ruler, finally gained power. He took over the power scattered among the various generals to the state (Chu) and personally served as the Grand Marshal of the Chu Terracotta Army (and Xiang Yu and Lü Chenjun took it upon themselves).
After proving that his name should be ambitious rather than xiongxin by collecting power, King Huai of Chu continued to suppress the Xiang family lineage, specifically by depriving Xiang Yu (including other Xiang family members) of the right to lead the army independently.
After Xiang Liang's death, there were two problems that the anti-Qin princes needed to solve. One was to send troops north to rescue Zhao Guo, and the other was to attack Guanzhong to the west. But these two things, Xiang Yu including the other old Xiang family members, did not fish for one.
The task of going north to rescue zhao guo was given to Song Yi; the task of attacking Guanzhong to the west was given to Liu Bang, who was reluctant to go (when it was, Qin Bingqi often took advantage of the victory to drive north, and the generals Molly entered the pass first).
Xiong Xin's ostensible reason for asking Song Yi to go north to save Zhao was that Song Yi had predicted that Xiang Liang would definitely fail before Xiang Liang and Zhang Handan fought. Of course, the real reason is that Song Yi is an outsider to the Chu army, has no foundation, and has no ability to control the Chu army. The reason for Liu Bang's westward attack on Guanzhong is even more ridiculous because Liu Bang was a loyal elder (Du Pei Gong Su lenient elder, can be dispatched). ), can help the righteousness and west. Liu Bang was certainly not a loyal elder, he slaughtered the city only a lot more than Xiang Yu, not to mention that his rogue image had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so this reason was also false. The real reason was that Liu Bang's ability was limited, he had lost the battle, and there were not many troops, which was as easy to control as Song Yi.
For Xiang Yu, Xiong Xin arranged the position of Song Yi's deputy general, which was at best a consolation award. The appointment of Xiang Yu as Song Yi's deputy general was a major defeat in Xiong Xin's process of seizing power. This was because at least half of the Chu army was Xiang Jiajun (the other half was Lü Chenjun), and letting Xiang Yu become this deputy general had the possibility of elevating Song Yi. However, There was no way for King Xiongxin of Chuhuai, and if Xiang Yu's power was completely stripped away, I was afraid that it would also cause a strong backlash from Xiang Jiajun.
It was precisely because Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Huai, launched a power struggle within the Chu state that he and Song Yi finally planted a seed for the death of him and Song Yi.
Song Yi's strategy for going north to save Zhao Ding was to watch the fire from the other side, let the Qin army and Zhao Guo and other princes fight first, and after they were both defeated and injured, then go to pick up the bargain and eliminate the Qin army in one fell swoop. This strategy cannot be said to be bad, because the siege battle is not easy to fight, and the Qin army on the battlefield of the giant deer has to be distracted to deal with the princely army, so the Qin army will also be scarred when it bites the giant deer.
However, this correct strategic policy was opposed by Xiang Yu.
Although Xiang Yu raised his objections in the name of Zhao Guo's crisis and the danger of opposing the Qin rebels, his inner thoughts were probably to take back the military power. Song Yi was a man of letters and Xiang Yu was a general. Once the war began, Song Yi would certainly not be on the front line, and Xiang Yu would probably gain greater prestige by leading troops to fight; second, if Song Yi's strategy was successful, then Song Yi would gain great prestige. Because he defeated Zhang Handan, who killed Xiang Liang, he would naturally become the first person in the Chu army and have a real grasp of the army.
For this reason, Xiang Yu resolutely opposed Song Yi's strategic deployment and proposed to advance lightly and make a quick decision. Of course, Song Yi did not do it, and as a result, Xiang Yu cut off his head in the name of King Huai of Chu.
Song Yi's death made King Xiongxin's plan to seize power unsuccessful, giving Xiang Yu a reason to kill him.
After Xiang Yu destroyed the Qin Empire, he killed Xiong Xin in order to become the king of Western Chu himself.
But in the ideals of mankind, there is no flight to the highest, only to fly higher.
In terms of the smooth steps of Qingyun, the person who has gone further than Xiong Xin is Liu Penzi.
Liu Penzi was originally a clumsy disciple of the local clan with heads and faces after Liu Zhang, the King of Yangjing in Seoul, until he met the Chimei Army...
Liu Penzi was knocked out of the dust and became a cow herding baby.
Later, the Chimei army grew stronger and needed an emperor of Liu Bang's blood. Liu Penzi ascended to heaven one step at a time, went further than Xiong Xin, and became the emperor.
Liu Penzi is not only the largest span of one step to the sky, but also the best in the end. After the defeat of the Chimei army, Liu Penzi surrendered to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu rewarded Liu Penzi very generously and appointed Liu Penzi as the Langzhong of the King of Zhao.
Later, Liu Penzi was blind due to illness, and Liu Xiu ordered that Xingyang's official land tax be used to raise Liu Penzi until his death.
Some people have said that from herding cattle to jumping on the emperor's throne, Zhu Yuanzhang first asked for food, and then became a monk; Liu Bang is still a stinky hooligan, isn't he all emperor?
Notice that our title is one step up to the heavens. Zhu Yuanzhang was the greatest beggar king, and Liu Bang was the most powerful stinky rogue, but they went from the bottom to the top emperor for too long.
From the time Zhu Yuanzhang joined the rebel army, it was 15 years to become emperor; Liu Bang was a little stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang, and it took seven years.
What about Xiong Xin and Liu Penzi? Less than a day!
