Teng Yin, the minister of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, said in the history books that he was "dignified in appearance and rarely disciplined", married a princess, and was very handsome. During the reign of Sun Quan, the official Zhihui was too guarded. During Sun Liang's reign, he served as sima and guarded Wuchang. Plotting with Lü To overthrow the chancellor Sun Qi , he planned to be killed , and later Emperor Jing ' Sun Xiu rehabilitated Teng Yin. Today we will understand the historical story of this handsome man in Eastern Wu!
Teng Yin family originally lived in Beihai County, because of the chaos in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty, his father Teng Yin led the family to cross the jiangnan to the south and enter Eastern Wu, Sun Quan respected them very much, Teng Yin was 12 years old when his father and the elders in the family died, since then he has been alone, but he has not given up learning. When Teng Yin grew up, he had an extraordinary appearance and a dignified appearance. When he entered the palace, the ministers in the court all praised him after seeing him, and Teng Yin was not only handsome, but also had good literary style, which made the ministers present admire! Later, Zhuge Ke said to Sun Quan: "Teng Yin behaved properly, was well-mannered, and was appreciated by others, but his subjects were inferior to him." ”
Sun Quan valued Teng Yin very much, married the princess to him, and always rewarded them to visit them. Teng Yin was not satisfied with this, he was more cautious and careful in his work, and he was humble and courteous to his subordinates, simply a perfect person! Teng Yin's punctuality was reasonable every time he was sentenced, so the people trusted him, and if they had grievances, they would definitely appeal to him, and his reputation was getting bigger and bigger. Sun Quan ascended the throne as empress, and Teng Yin, Zhang Zhao, and others were responsible for compiling the imperial ceremonial system of the State of Wu. Later, Emperor Wu's Sun Quan fell seriously ill and summoned Teng Yin to be too often. In 252, Sun Quan died, Teng Yin and Zhuge Ke and others were entrusted with the auxiliary government, and after Sun Liang ascended the throne, Teng Yin served as a general of Wei.
Teng Yin and Zhuge Ke were sons and daughters, Teng Yin's daughter married Zhuge Ke's son Zhuge Chen, in 253 AD, Zhuge Ke's northern expedition to Cao Wei, the people were uneasy, Teng Yin therefore advised him: "The people want peace, you are working hard, the people are tired, at this time the enemy country has some defenses, the siege of the city will not be able to overcome, it is better to follow the soldiers and wait for the opportunity." Zhuge Ke thought that by using the power of the country and the power of victory, I would be invincible! After Zhuge Ke went out on the expedition, he still reused Teng Yin and put him in charge of all domestic affairs, Teng Yin worked day and night, and the books had to be personally approved and handled, which stabilized the rear for Zhuge Ke, but unfortunately, as Teng Yin predicted, Zhuge Ke's Northern Expedition failed, and Sun Liang and Sun Jun, the lords of Wu, killed Zhuge Ke when Zhuge Ke entered the palace.
After Zhuge Ke was killed, Sun Jun was in power, and everyone recommended Teng Yin as a Situ, Sun Jun knew that Teng Yin was formerly Zhuge Ke's henchman, and his reputation was too great, and resolutely did not let Teng Yin serve as a high-ranking official, and the ministers in the imperial court were disappointed, Teng Yin asked for resignation, and was retained by Sun Jun. Sun Jun wanted to build a city on the border of Guangling, and the courtiers feared Sun Jun and did not dare to advise, only Teng Yin objected, but Sun Jun did not listen, and in the end the city was not built. Sun Jun's Northern Expedition to Cao Wei died, and his subordinate Sun Qi (孙綝) took control of the imperial government. Teng Yin's brother-in-law Lü liaised with the generals on the front line of the Northern Expedition to recommend Teng Yin as a chancellor, hoping to divide Sun Qi's power and prevent him from arbitrarily ruling. Sun Qiang, however, appointed Teng Yin as the Grand Sima and served as the defender of Wuchang.
Lü Zhao sent people to conspire with Teng Yin to overthrow Sun Qiang. Sun Qiang got the news in advance and sent troops to attack Lü Zhao, arrest Teng Yin, Teng Yin immediately supported the army in self-defense, Sun Qiang sent troops to besiege Teng Yin, Teng Yin's face did not change color, talking and laughing as usual. His subordinates persuaded Teng Yin to attack the palace, and then in the name of the emperor, he ordered Sun Qi to be killed, but Teng Yin did not dare to easily raise troops to surround the palace, and ordered his subordinates to continue to hold firm and wait for Lü Zhao to come to the rescue. Soon after Lü Zhao's army was defeated and committed suicide, Sun Qiang gathered an army to attack Teng Yin, Teng Yin was killed, and Sun Qiang ordered the annihilation of the three tribes of Teng Yin and Lü Zhao. Later, after Sun Xiu ascended the throne, he killed Sun Qi and rehabilitated the Teng Yin family.
As the first beautiful man in Eastern Wu, not only handsome, but also first-class in literature, so Sun Quan is willing to marry the princess to him, during the banquet, the ministers are amazed by his appearance, Teng Yin understands etiquette, does things measuredly, is simply a perfect person, but unfortunately in the end want to get rid of the power minister did not succeed in being killed, fortunately Sun Xiu rehabilitated him!
