I believe that many people like the historical power plot drama "Langya List" starring Hu Ge. In the play, Mei Changsu, who is resourceful, clear wind and moon, and shoulders the deep hatred of the blood sea and the righteousness of the family and the country, is the white moonlight in the hearts of everyone, and it is also the will in the hearts of everyone.
Such a perfect "Jiang Zuo Meilang", everyone must think that it is impossible to exist in reality. But in fact, in history, Jiang Zuo did have such a talented, upright and kind man who repeatedly saved his family and the world, and this person was Xie An, a politician in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Xie An was born in the Xie clan of Chen County, and was one of the most famous scholars at that time, extremely prestigious in the dprk, and had a very high political status. At that time, the door valves of the scholar clan controlled the entire high society, and the official positions in the DPRK that ordinary people dreamed of were just things that the children of these families could get at their fingertips.
Almost every son of the family will choose to become an official after reaching adulthood, fight for the growth of the family, and contribute to the Jiangshan Society. But Xie An was the most "peculiar" son of the family, and not only did he not have any idea of fighting for fame and profit, but he was even unwilling to enter the DPRK as an official. Xie An's "lack of motivation" is not because of lack of ability, on the contrary, he is the most outstanding of the children of that generation, he has been talented since he was a child, his literary style is extremely outstanding, and he is handsome and dignified, and he is the most dazzling one among the talents in the world.
However, when he grew up, he did not choose to enter the government like his brother and father, but lived a secluded life in Taoyuan against the strong opposition of his family. The reason why Xie An resisted joining the army so much was because he had seen the darkness and filth of the officialdom very early, disdained the struggle for power and profit, and was not interested in politics at all.
The imperial court sent people to solicit Xie An many times, but he flatly refused, and later in order to escape this disturbance, he directly moved to Dongshan, which was far from the capital. Here he enjoys the birdsong of the landscape every day, the pines and cypresses in the forest, the cascading peaks, and the leisurely and leisurely.
Even if he lives in the mountains, Xie An is not alone, there will always be three or two like-minded friends around him, all of whom are literary people such as Wang Xizhi and Zhi Daolin, and everyone swims in the landscape together, chanting poems against each other, which is really happy.
It is a pity that Xie An was not able to spend his life so leisurely, because there were huge problems in the family and the country. In 372 AD, there was an unprecedented crisis in the Xie family, several elder brothers died prematurely due to illness, and the elders of the family also left the court due to their advanced age, resulting in the Xie family's power in the imperial court plummeting.
The weakness of the Xie family directly led to the brother of General Xie Andang being framed and losing his official position, and the Xie family was already in danger. In addition to the Xie family in the court, the more dangerous thing is His Majesty, who is lying sick in bed, spoils his traitors, and gives all his power to Huan Wen's hands, and also wants to sit in him. This person has been coveting the throne for a long time, in order to be able to clear the obstacles, use the trust of the monarch to stir up all kinds of turmoil, exclude dissidents, coupled with the weakness of the Xie family, Huan Wen's power has become like a "regent". For the sake of family rejuvenation and to clean up the chaotic party, Xie An decided to enter the DPRK as an official and enter the chaotic political situation to correct the chaos.
Xie An's talent was known all over the world, and as soon as he entered the army, he gained a place in the dprk. In order to confront Huan Wen, he united the major family gate valves in the DPRK and China to fight against him. Although the overall situation has temporarily stabilized, Huan Wen has not been removed for a day, and the problem is especially true.
The opportunity soon came, the border war was chaotic, Huan Wen led the army out, Xie An and others were finally able to meet with Emperor Jianwen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty without hindrance, and clearly informed Huan Wen of his crimes piece by piece. Although Emperor Jianwen was seriously ill, he was not brainless, and coupled with Xie An's talent and fame, he trusted him quite a bit, and finally adopted his advice, abolished the decision of the Zen throne, and established the crown prince instead.
After this news was heard by Huan Wen, he immediately returned with his troops and decided to force the palace to rebel. However, when he came to the capital, he did not rush in at the first time, because there was also an emperor's guard unit in the city, although the number was not as large as the large army, but it was all well-armed and extremely strong. Moreover, Xie An's resourcefulness was the biggest obstacle for him to force the palace.
Huan Wen felt that Xie An was the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne and became emperor, and decided to remove him first, so he had people shout that Xie An should come out of the city to confront him, and he himself laid a net of heaven and earth outside the city, and only when Xie An left the city, he would be killed on the spot. Xie An had already expected it and calmly invited him out of the city. However, just before he was about to enter the ambush circle, he suddenly stopped. He smiled lightly and said to Huan Wen, "It is really a bit bold to ambush and assassinate the imperial court officials like this." Huan Wen was stunned, seeing Xie An's reaction, he felt that he must have a backhand, afraid that he would be calculated, and quickly let people send him back again. After Xie An returned, Huan Wen waited outside the city for a long time, and found that there had been no movement in the city, and he did not dare to act rashly to make up for Xie An's "conspiracy and trickery." Under such excessive thoughts and fears, Huan Wen was so ill that he could not afford to die. In this way, Xie An relied on psychological games, and the soldiers took huan wen, the biggest tooth decay of the imperial court, without bloodshed.
It was difficult to get rid of the traitors in the dprk, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty soon ushered in an external crisis. The old enemy Jian Jian, with a million troops of Former Qin, attacked the border of the Jin Dynasty in a mighty way. At that time, because of the attrition of the Jin Dynasty for many years, it was impossible to take out the same force to fight, and Xie An also understood that it was not necessary to be tough, so he first arranged several of his own "internal responses" in the opposing camp. Before the start of the great war, the army had not yet been formally assembled, and at this time, when the army's morale was most scattered, he let himself plant the internal response to spread the shocking false news of the crisis on the front line and the heavy losses on his side.
This news really made the enemy troops start to panic and chaos, almost and the Eastern Jin army collapsed as soon as it was faced, and finally Zhijian was defeated, and the Jin army won a complete victory. This battle is one of the famous battles in history, which is one of the famous battles with fewer victories and more battles, and it is still the psychological tactics that are used to the extreme to lay the foundation for victory.
After continuously solving internal and external troubles, Xie An instantly became the most popular figure in the court. But the infinite scenery will cause jealousy, and soon some people will speak to the emperor, saying that Xie Angong is high over the lord and surpasses the imperial power. Xie An, worried about the suspicion of the emperor and causing tragedy, quickly found an excuse to return military power and official positions, led his family back to the hidden mountains and forests, and finally died of illness in the idle clouds and wild cranes.
When the emperor of the dynasty learned of his death, he wept with the courtiers for three days, ordered the government to handle the funeral for him according to the highest standards of his subordinates, and also chose Meiling as the burial place for him. And this is also the reason why Xie An is called the prototype of "Jiang Zuo Meilang".
epilogue
Although Xie An and Mei Changsu are the same "Jiang Zuo Meilang", the lives of the two are actually completely different. Although they were all born into the door valve of the Warrior Clan and the family was extremely powerful, Xie An did not experience the disintegration of the family like Mei Changsu, but only fell. But there are also many similarities between the two, whether it is the qingfeng jiyue who is indifferent to fame and fortune, the strategic courage for the country and the people, and the open-minded detachment between the trade-offs, which are equally admirable and moving.
