"""壾"","", these four words, do you know? I am afraid that no one knows, which is no wonder, because the Eastern Wu Emperor Sun Xiu himself created the characters.
Sun Xiu had four sons, and he coined these four strange characters as his sons' names: the eldest son (homophonous with "bay"), the second son (homophonous with "bow"), the third son (homophonous with "mang"), and the fourth son (homophonous with "praise"). The WuLu contains Sun Xiu's edict, which specifically explains: The name of the eldest son", Yinwan. "In order not to affect the efficiency of reading, we have the right to call it "bay". This Sun Xiu likes to read, and also likes to show off his knowledge.
Later, Wu Zetian also liked to create characters, it seems that her master should be Sun Xiu, right?
Sun Xiu, the lord of Wu, appointed Puyang Xing as chancellor, and Ding Mi and Guanglu Xun Mengzong as the right and left imperial masters. At the beginning, Puyang Xing served as huijian taishou, Sun Xiu was in charge of the huijian period, Puyang xing was very kind to him, the left general Zhang Bu was once the governor of the huijian king, so after Sun Xiu took the throne, both of them were favored and reused, Zhang Bu was in charge of the internal official office, Puyang Xing was in charge of military affairs, the two were treacherous and flattering inside and outside, supporting each other, and the Wu people were very disappointed.
Sun Xiu loved to read and wanted to talk about scholarship with Dr. Wei Zhao and Dr. Sheng Chong. Zhang Bu thought that Wei Zhao and Sheng Chong had a straight temperament, and they were worried that they would tell sun Xiu what they had done in secret, so they resolutely advised them not to let them enter the palace.
Sun Xiu said: "I am dabbling in academics, and I have read most of the books in the group, and now I just want to talk to Wei Zhao and others about what I have learned before. You were just afraid that Wei Zhao and the others would talk about the treacherous and evil deeds of your subordinates, so you didn't want them to enter the palace. I already know something about things like this, and I don't need Wei Zhao and others to say it before I know it. ”
Zhang Bu apologized with great trepidation, and said that this was probably hindering political affairs, and King Wu said: "Political affairs and scholarship have different origins and will not hinder each other, and there is no mistake in letting them enter the palace, but you think it is inappropriate, because you suspect that I am ostensibly discussing learning, but in fact I have other intentions." It is a pity that I did not expect you to be in power today and use such means against me. Zhang Bu bowed his head and apologized.
Sun Xiu also said, "I am only enlightening you, so why should I kowtow and apologize!" Loyalty like you, people near and far know very well, and I can have the dignity of being a king in the south today, all thanks to you. The Book of Poetry says, 'There is no beginning in the middle, but there is an end in the few grams.' 'Good beginnings and good ends are the hardest, I hope you can have a beginning and an end!' Having said that, Sun Xiu was still worried about Zhang Bu's suspicions, and finally followed Zhang Bu's advice, abolished his studies, and did not let Wei Zhao and others enter the palace.
Sun Xiu loves to read and attaches great importance to education. Here is an excerpt from an edict by Sun Xiu from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms:
"The ancients founded the country, teaching first, so the Tao world ruled, for the time to nourish the vessel also." In his case, the ancient scholar official, the Doctor of the Five Classics, was selected for selection, and his favor was added, and those who were aspiring to be among the officials and the children of the generals were employed. One-year-old class test, poor quality, to be rewarded. Let those who see it enjoy it, and those who hear it envy their reputation. King of Tun and customs of Elong. ”
The meaning of the vernacular: The ancients created the country, and put education and learning in the first place, so as to guide folk customs to cultivate people's materiality and cultivate talents for the times. According to the ancient system, it is necessary to set up academic officials, establish doctorates in the Five Classics, select the talents who should be selected, give them preferential treatment and fenglu, and recruit those who aspire to learn among the existing officials and the children of military generals and officials, so that they can study separately. After a year of examination, the score is the highest and the lowest, and the lu position is rewarded. Make others who see these situations happy to tend to this glory, and those who hear these situations envy the attainment of this fame. In order to urge the king to be civilized and carry forward pure and beautiful customs. ”
Sun Xiu also took the lead in studying and learning, indulging in hundreds of classics all day long, "keen on the classics, wanting to read the words of the hundred schools, especially shooting pheasants, often in the morning and at night between spring and summer, only at this time to give up books." (Romance of the Three Kingdoms). In this regard, Sun Xiu also boasted triumphantly: "Lonely scholars, a few books have been read, and many have been seen; his Ming Junmin King, traitorous courtiers and thieves, and the successes and failures of ancient and modern sages and fools are all read." ”
Sun Xiu loves to learn, which is a good thing. However, the problem is that the most important thing to learn is to be able to "apply", that is, to know and act together. The reason is clear, can you do it?
During this period, Eastern Wu was in constant turmoil, and after several tosses, it can be said that there were hundreds of industries to be revived; the external Wei state was becoming more and more powerful, and it was eyeing the two countries of Wu and Shu. As an emperor, if you are not pro-government, how can you make a difference? Sun Xiu indulged in reading all day and entrusted the affairs of the DPRK and China to the former ministers PuYang xing and Zhang Bu. These two men colluded inside and outside, concealed themselves from the upper and lower levels, and did many treacherous and evil things. Since Sun Xiu "knew what the ming kings and kings were, the traitors and thieves, and the successes and failures of the ancient and modern sages and fools, and he knew what the two were doing, why did he allow the two to monopolize power? Isn't this the old way of Sun Jun and Sun Lin?
Chen Shou once explicitly opposed Sun Xiu's approach in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", arguing that "Hugh loves Su Grace in the old way, appoints Xing and Bu, cannot be promoted to good talents, changes course and zhang, although he is good at learning, how can he help to save chaos?" And let the light of the ruin not die, and the righteousness of friendship is thin. "Sun Xiu, you spoil your former subjects, so that talents have no day to emerge, there is no new atmosphere of reform and progress, although you are good at learning, but can you save the chaos of the country?" You have read a lot of Confucian classics, but why did you let the deposed emperor Sun Liang die? This is a brother. Do you talk about "filial piety"?
It can be seen that although reading is beneficial to open the book, it cannot be "caught in the fire".
Fortunately, later, Sun Xiu woke up, finally stopped indulging in reading, and began to think about the development of Eastern Wu, and the Eastern Wu regime began to have a little warming. Unfortunately, he died young, and the matter of Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu's monopoly was not completely resolved.
