In the long history of China, there are always some tragic figures who are stifling, and Chen Fan is one.
He was a famous celebrity at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even those who did not understand history would have heard his famous words that resounded throughout the millennium: "When the great husband is in the world, when he sweeps the world, he will be in a safe room!" And when he said this, Chen Fan was only 15 years old.
However, what happened to Chen Fan later?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > teenagers become famous, and they do not follow the trend</h1>
Chen Fan was a native of Runanping, and his grandfather was the Taishou of Hedong. The conditions of being born in a family of officials and eunuchs allowed Chen Fan to receive a good education from an early age, and even have his own study.
When he was 15 years old, his father's good friend Xue Qin came to the Chen family as a guest and happened to pass by Chen Fan's study, but he saw that the inside and outside of the study were a mess and dirty. Xue Qin asked playfully: Why don't you clean the courtyard to welcome the guests? But Chen Fan said disapprovingly: When the eldest husband is in the world, when he sweeps away the world, he will be safe!
This is the lofty ambition of a 15-year-old child, and it also surprised Xue Qinman when he boarded. But for this child, Xue Qin knew the truth that he was too late, so xue Qin said next: If a house is not swept, why sweep the world?
This sentence made Chen Fan dumbfounded, but presumably at this time, Chen Fan's heart was not only arrogant and dry, but also planted the seeds of caring for the people.
With few talents and a background as an official eunuch, Chen Fan was soon promoted to filial piety and official Langzhong. However, the death of his mother forced him to choose to go home to Ding You, and after Ding Wu's return, his official position became the other driver of the Assassin ShiFu. However, the good times did not last long, and he soon resigned because of disagreement.
It was not until later recommended by Tai Wei Li Gu that Chen Fan really became the Taishou of the ruling side. In the Taishou office, although far away from the temple, Chen Fan was single-mindedly governing. He administered moral government, was honest and loved the people, and the people of Le'an also praised him.
However, just when Chen Fan's political achievements were outstanding, the great general Liang Ji had something to trust, and under the background of foreign relatives and eunuch dictatorship at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this was an opportunity for Chen Fan to step forward. However, Chen Fan did not buy it, and he chose to execute the messenger who pretended to be entrusted with his affairs, which is difficult to say that there was no dissatisfaction with Chen Fan's monopoly on foreign relatives and the poisoning and killing of Emperor Xiaoqian by Liang Ji.
However, after beating Liang Ji's face, Liang Ji, who was blind and sure to repay, quickly demoted Chen Fan to a county order. It was not until Later that Liang Ji was killed that Chen Fan's eunuchs really entered the room. From Shangshu to Shang Shuling, at this time, Chen Fan seems to be a teenager whose dream of "sweeping the world" is gradually moving towards realization.
However, the reality is that the achievement of a person's achievements is inseparable from the completion of the environment, and the era in which Chen Fan lived is obviously not a good era.
On the matter of the rebellion of the mountain thieves in Lingling and Guiyang Counties, in the face of the strategy proposed by the secretaries of state to send troops to suppress them, Chen Fan bluntly said that the reason why the mountain thieves in the two counties rebelled and harmed one side was only caused by the corruption of the local officials. Only by seriously ruling the government and instructing the three governments is the best policy.
Chen Fan's opinion is obviously very pertinent. However, the rebuttal of gongqing in the song shuzhong also made him ostracized, and soon he was released to Yuzhang. In Yuzhang, we are familiar with the story of Wang Bo's "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" that "the people are brilliant and the spirits, and Xu Wei is under the bed of Chen Fan".
Just as Yu Zhang was too defensive, Chen Fan did not even enter the official Ya, so he wanted to see the appearance of the famous Confucian Xu Zizi, and later in order to show his respect for Xu Zizi, Chen Fan specially prepared a wooden bed for him, and when Xu Zizi came, he opened it and withdrew if he did not come; Chen Fan invited Xu Zizi to join the army many times. However, Xu Zizi had already looked at the situation with a hole in the fire, and said, "The tree will be upside down, not a rope." He explicitly rejected Chen Fan.
Chen Fan, on the other hand, is still as clean and conscientious as ever. Later, he finally re-entered the court to become Shang Shu Ling, and then became the Great Hongxu.
But as Xu Ruzi said, the han dynasty tree will be upside down, waiting for Xu Ru is still the end of being deposed. Baima County made Emperor Huan of Han furious in Li Yun's case, and Chen Fan wrote to Chen and was deposed together. Although Emperor Huan of Han later promoted him to Guanglu Xun, such a position with only the authority to advise was obviously difficult for Chen Fan to realize his dream as a teenager.
In the face of the reality that the emperor wantonly divided the titles, Chen Fan did not give up. He went up again, but Emperor Huan of Han was already a dimwitted prince, and Chen Fan's shangshu was naturally rejected.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > faced with eunuch dictatorship, he decided to rebel</h1>
As a result of the division of the Han Huan Emperor, a large number of eunuchs seized power. After Su Kang and Guan Ba came to power, Liu You, the Grand Commandery, Feng You, and Yin Li of Henan were punished one after another. Chen Fan once again stood in front of him, straightening Chen.
And in the midst of Chen Fan's continuous ups and downs, the eunuchs naturally felt threatened and already regarded him as a thorn in their side. Similarly, for Chen Fan, these eunuchs with exclusive power naturally wanted to get rid of them quickly.
In the first year of Yongkang, Emperor Huan of Han died, and after Empress Dowager Dou came to power, Chen Fan was promoted to Taifu (太傅). Later, Chen Fan wanted to use the foreign clique led by Empress Dou to get rid of The Zhongchang Attendant Cao Jie, Wang Fu, and others.
In 168, he chose to plot with Dou Wu, but the matter was not secret after Xiang Empress Dowager Shangshu, the news leaked. Cao Jie and the others quickly ordered Dou Wu to be killed, and at this time, Chen Fan, who was in his seventies, had the opportunity to escape, but he did not flee, but instead led more than eighty students to rush into the Chengming Gate with their swords, risking death.
As a result, Chen Fan was imprisoned. Faced with the repeated humiliations of the eunuchs Wang Fu and Cao Jie, he was not afraid and was eventually killed.

In fact, in the whole journey, Chen Fan faced the monopoly of foreign relatives and eunuchs at the end of the Han Dynasty, he was not unaware that his dream of "sweeping away the world" was almost impossible to achieve, during which he also had the opportunity to retreat and avoid disasters, but he insisted on his belief, did not avoid power, and violated Yan Zhizhi.
Although he was killed in the end, his fearless spirit and the spirit of loyalty to the king and the country also illuminated future generations like a torch, which is worth remembering.
