【Lao Wang Says Long History】
The historical Gansu Qing official This Wuwei Taishou lived for 96 years
Eastern Han Dynasty Li Gong
The lifespan of the ancients was not long. The average life expectancy of primitive society is more than twenty years old, and by feudal society, fifty years old is already a high life expectancy, and seventy years old is already ancient. What is unexpected is that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, a Wuwei Taishou named Li Ke actually lived to be 96 years old.
After the death of AndingJun Taishou, he sent the coffin back to his hometown
This birthday star in Gansu is Li Ke. Li Gongzi Shuying, and the people of Linjing. Anding Linjing was in the south of present-day Zhenyuan, Gansu. This is a thousand-year-old county, established in the second century BC, and abandoned in the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), experiencing more than 1500 years of vicissitudes. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Linjing was also the seat of government of Jing Prefecture in Anding County.
When Li Ke was a teenager, he studied "Korean Poetry". This was one of the classics at that time, the "Book of Poetry" taught by Han Bao, a Han Dynasty Yan person, so it was called "Han Poetry". During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, it was an officially recognized school, equivalent to the current unified textbook.
Li Ke learned Korean poetry well, and later taught Korean poetry in the state. There are still many people who have studied Korean poetry with him.
"There are often hundreds of professors." (See Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of Li Ke). At that time, it was a big number, and Li Gong's name spread all over the world. Li Hong, the Taishou Ofechuan of Anding Commandery, invited him to the post of Gongcao in the county. He had not yet arrived, and the state invited him to take up another post.
At this time, Li Hong, the Taishou of Anding Commandery who had invited him to serve as Gong Cao, died. How can this be done? Li Ke made an unthinkable choice, he gave up his position in the state and sent Li Hong's coffin back to his hometown.
He sent Li Hong's coffin back to his hometown without saying anything, and also helped to bury it, and guarded the tomb for Li Hong for another three years. To express Li Hong's kindness to him. This was a shocking move during the two Han dynasties, which emphasized filial piety.
Envoys to the Western Regions do not receive gifts, and do not give gifts to the public
Later, Li Ke was recruited by Situ Huanyu. Huan Yu Zi Zhongchun, a native of Wannian County, Feng Yi County (present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi), judged affairs according to law, was meticulous and fair, and served as the Taishou of Nanyang, and in the fourth year of the founding of the first year (76 AD), Bai Situ. Li Ke served as an attendant to The Imperial History, and sent an envoy to youzhou with a festival, announcing his favor and comforting Beidi. He was a man with a heart, and everywhere he passed, he drew pictures, marked mountains, rivers, tuntian, and settlements, and recorded more than a hundred volumes of the whole trip, and basically understood the reality of Beidi. After returning to the dynasty, he handed him over to the imperial court, which attracted the attention of the emperor, and the imperial court rewarded him.
Li Ke is a very simple person. After he was appointed as the Taishou of Yanzhou, he was still very simple, and under the rate of Qing Covenant, he often sat on sheepskin and wore cloth quilts. After Ren Zhangye was too defensive, he had a great name. However, a small incident angered the great general Dou Xian, who was then a soldier of Wuwei. At that time, Dou Xian was a world-shaking figure and a powerful minister at that time. Sheriffs from all over the country wrote letters to give gifts. Only Li Gong served the public and did not give gifts, and Dou Xian went to the imperial court and removed Li Ke from his post as Zhangye Taishou.
However, Li Ke is a well-known figure after all. Soon after, he was conscripted by the imperial court as a guru. The Gurudwara is the general servant of the hereafter, who is responsible for the communication affairs of the Son of Heaven. Li Ke had led the vice lieutenant of the Western Regions as a ruler.
At that time, the western region, equivalent to the southeast coast of today, was rich in treasures, and there were many envoys, VIPs, and merchants from various countries. These people repeatedly gave Li Ke slaves, horses, gold and silver, incense and other luxury goods. However, Li Ke received nothing and did not accept gifts.
The honest officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty lived in poverty by eating acorns to become old people
Li Ke not only did not take anything, but also went all out to attack the Northern Xiongnu who blocked the Silk Road. After more than a hundred years of attacks during the Two Han Dynasties, the Xiongnu have declined and are divided into two parts, the Northern Xiongnu moved west, and the Southern Xiongnu were annexed. Although the main force of the Northern Xiongnu moved westward, there were still certain forces in the western region, they cut off the Silk Road, the messengers of the imperial court could not get out of the Yumen Pass, and the Northern Xiongnu were arrogant and unusual, what to do?
Although Li Ke was a man of letters, he had his own methods. He took out his goods, set a reward, and encouraged the warriors to kill the Northern Xiongnu commander. This method worked well, and sure enough, the warriors killed the northern Xiongnu leader and brought the head of the Xiongnu leader to receive the reward. Li Ke ordered the xiongnu leader to hang the head of the Xiongnu leader on the gate of the military camp. Since then, no one has blocked the road in the western region, and the western region has been smooth.
Due to his meritorious service in the Western Regions, Li Ke was promoted to Wuwei Taishou. Later, he was removed from his official post. Since then, Li Ke bid farewell to his career, returned to his hometown on foot, chose a place with beautiful trees, built a grass hut, immersed himself in teaching students, knitted mats by himself, and lived a self-sufficient life.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Western Qiang rebellion. The Qiang people arrested Li Ke, and the Qiang people heard of Li Ke's name and released him. Li Ke went to Luoyang and prepared to meet the emperor. However, in the face of a grain shortage and no grain to eat, Sikong Zhang Min, Situ Lugong, and others sent their sons and nephews to send him grain, and he did not accept it. Later, when he moved to Xin'an Guanxia, he didn't have anything to eat, and he wasn't afraid, so he picked up acorns to eat.
Oak is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, according to the "Flora of China", oak is the fruit of oak or Liaodong oak, which is distributed in East China, Central and Southern China, Southwest and Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places; Liaodong Oak is distributed in Northeast China, North China and Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, Shandong, Sichuan and other places. It has the effect of astringent and astringent, hemostasis and detoxification.
Li Ke lived to be 96 years old and died by eating acorns. It can be said that it is a rare old life star in ancient times.
