In any era, good looks seem to attract much attention, and upper-level managers prefer those subordinates who look good, whether they are really talented, can also be cultivated the day after tomorrow, so that others feel that their decision is correct.
But if you have another talent, it will be like a tiger, deeply pleasing to the boss, and before long you will become a person who coexists with strength and beauty in people's mouths, what a perfect person, so that life is really happy.
In the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was such a person who almost became such a person, his name was Wang Yan, the character Yifu, born in the family of the dignitaries of the Daguan, his family was famous at that time, there were many powerful figures, and his relatives were basically in front of the high officials, his grandfather Wang Xiong was the Assassin of Youzhou, and his father Wang Qi was the general of Pingbei.
Wang Yan, the first beautiful man in the Western Jin Dynasty
Perhaps because of his strong genes, people who have seen him have all admired his beauty, and his appearance is recorded in the "Biography of Wang Yan": his appearance is bright and beautiful, his style is exquisite, and his talent is beautiful, and he is enlightened. Reading these few words, many people's minds are estimated to have a clear facial features, picturesque eyebrows, tender skin like jade, handsome looking, tall and tall beautiful man, in that era without beauty are so good-looking, if you are in the 21st century, I am afraid that a look can capture thousands of fans.
Wang Yan was still an arrogant man, and for eight years, Sima Yan was looking for someone who could stabilize the frontier, because Wang Yan at first liked to talk about the art of lobbying, so Shangshu recommended him as the Taishou of Liaodong, but Wang Yan did not take office, after which he ignored all worldly chores and concentrated on metaphysical ethics.
He immersed himself in the study of Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, because he liked to talk to people about these things, and he could always make the listener clap his hands and praise, whether it was a high-ranking official of the imperial court or a member of the opposition, he admired him, and he was also called "". All the officials who were employed by the imperial court thought that he should be the leader.
Wang Yan, who talks highly about the broad
After Wang Yan entered the career path, he used the prestige he had accumulated to serve as a yellow door attendant, a prince zhongshuzi, a leader in the middle, and a shang shuling. It has to be admitted that he was a "clever" man who managed to get Emperor Hui's eldest son Sima Suo to marry Wang Yan's daughter Wang Shi as a crown princess. When Empress Jia and Sima Lun the Prince of Zhao came to power, wang Yan was deposed and temporarily bid farewell to the official field. After Sima Lun was killed, he returned and successively held the posts of Henan Yin and Shangshu Servant, and in the first year of Guangxi, Wang Yan was promoted to Sikong. The following year, he was appointed situ again.
A fact that we cannot accept is that the handsome prime minister turned out to be a cunning by nature, personal interests first, greedy and afraid of death. Wang Yan's younger daughter was the princess of Sima Yi, the crown prince of Emperor Hui of Jin, and when his son-in-law Sima Yan suffered an accident and was deposed by Jia Hou as a concubine, he did not think of a way to rescue his son-in-law, but immediately wanted to get rid of the relationship and divorce his daughter.
Later, the crown prince sent someone to send a letter to the princess that was "self-deprecating", but Wang Yan cowered and hid the letter. When Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, learned the truth and killed Jia Houyi, he also made him realize that Wang Yan was "a minister in preparation, the crown prince was falsely accused, and he was determined to be spared", so he was disqualified from being an official.
Wang Yan shouldered the heavy responsibility of the prime minister, who should assist the monarch, the monarch was responsible for and in charge of government affairs, but he was lazy to deal with government affairs, to deal with everything he could handle, not to deal with what he could not personally handle, to plan how to get the greatest benefit, to think about how to deal with his colleagues who hid knives in laughter in the chaotic situation, and to make himself and his family survive for a long time, so he carefully designed a method for himself to have the best of both worlds.
Qingzhou and Jingzhou were both important military strongholds at that time, and their products were also abundant. Therefore, Wang Yan said to him: "The Central Plains are now in chaos, and we should choose a wise chief to manage the important places, and we should choose talents who are both literate and martial to serve as local governors." With Sima Yue's consent, he asked his brother to be the Assassin of Jingzhou.
However, Wang Cheng was arrogant and incompetent, and there were more than enough things to fail, and everything was dependent on Wang Yan, and then he ordered his brother Wang Dun to be the assassin of Qingzhou, and Wang Dun was actually one of his puppets, and Wang Dun was the chaotic minister who later plotted rebellion in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to disturb the stability of the entire country and society. Wang Yan arranged his two younger brothers in this way, and said to Wang Cheng and Wang Dun: "Jingzhou has the solidity of Jianghan, Qingzhou has the danger of carrying the sea, and the two Qing are outside and I am in the middle, which is enough for the three caves." ”
This move of his not only made Sima Yue think that he was a loyal vassal who thought of the country, but also won the power of the DPRK for himself, and his cunning plan was naturally understood by the ministers of the DPRK, and he also avoided him, lest he be calculated.
Wang Yan likes to talk about the mysteries and also likes to evaluate the characters, and the understanding of the characters is very accurate, and there is a record of "Wang Yifu knowing Shi Le" in history. When Shi Le was a teenager, he accompanied the people of the countryside to Luoyang to sell, and one day he had a sudden idea and leaned on the city tower to sing loudly. Wang Yan, who happened to be nearby, heard him singing, and Shang Shuzuo's servant Wang Yan was amazed when he saw it, and turned back to the people around him and said, "That Hu child just now, I felt that he had outstanding ambitions when I heard his voice, and I am afraid that in the future it will become a disaster for the country." Someone was sent to catch him, just as Shi Le had already left.
Maybe it was Wang Yan who was like a god, or maybe Shi Le deserved it, and sure enough, Shi Le became emperor and established Later Zhao. Wang Yan foresaw that Shi Le could become a figure in the world when Shi Le was not yet developed, and here we have to admit that Wang Yan does have his own superiority in this regard. Later people summed up Wang Yifu's words of Zhi Shile through this story as a metaphor for being able to judge his future with a unique vision.
In the days that followed, Shi Le led soldiers and horses to attack Luoyang, and Wang Yan went with Sima Yue to deal with it, who knew that Sima Yue died on the way, and the other officials who accompanied the army recommended Wang Yan as the commander. After a desperate struggle between the two armies, the Jin army was finally broken by the army, and Wang Yan told him the reason for the defeat of the Western Jin Dynasty and shirked his responsibility, saying that he did not like to participate in political affairs when he was young.

In order to survive, he persuaded Shi Le to claim the title of emperor. Shi Le said angrily: "Your reputation has spread all over the world, you are in a prominent position, you were reused by the imperial court when you were young, until you had white hair, how can you say that you did not participate in the affairs of the imperial court?" It is your sin to destroy the world. Shi Le said to his staff officer Sun Cang, "I have been walking the world for many years, and I have never seen such a person, should I still let him live?"
Sun Cang said, "He is the third duke of the Western Jin Dynasty court, and he will certainly not do his best for us. Shi Le said, "In short, do not use the blade to harm him." So he ordered the soldiers to tear down the wall in the middle of the night and crush him to death. When Wang Yan was dying, he looked at others and said repentantly, "Alas! Even if I am not as good as the ancients, if I do not advocate flashiness and vanity, and strive to support the world and run for the major events of the country, I will not reach today's point.
A few decades after Wang Yan's death, during the Northern Expedition, he landed in the Central Plains and said with emotion: "The land has fallen, and the Central Plains have become a ruin for a hundred years, and Wang Yifu and others cannot shirk their guilt." Yuan Hong excused Wang Yan and said: "The number of heavenly destinies has its own ups and downs, and it is not necessarily the fault of those people." Huan Wen's face changed, and he angrily rebuked Yuan Hong.
What a thing, Sheng Ning Xin'er! However, those who are mistaken for the world may not be this person. "I don't know which old woman gave birth to such a son!" However, the person who mistakenly exhausted the people of the world may not be this person, the fact has long been expected by the wise, Wang Yan looks handsome, rare in the world, but he is responsible for the decline of the Jin kingdom, he has to make the people suffer.
(1) Han Xiang is quiet and quiet, and sees the opportunity to be absent; Zhou Shiqing is vain and not too much for corpses. He is vain, and the dynasty is in chaos. Rong is tolerant of the world, and the goods are entrusted to the side; Yan ze protects himself, rather than Zong Ji? Yifu district, Yu Pi fierce canal, in order to accommodate loans, the fall of the wall, as if it were polite.
(2) YiFu looked at the two sides and retreated to the three points. When the gods were in turmoil, they were loyal and obedient. Wang Yan's life was rich, but he was still not satisfied, holding a high official position and abusing his power for personal gain, fearing death by nature, only to save himself, degenerating and betraying the country, and calling the enemy the emperor. As a prime minister, to solve the emperor's worries and difficulties, and to seek the welfare of the people, this is what a prime minister should look like, empty of his appearance, dirty soul, and the country will not perish?
Wang Yan's young man was beautiful and handsome, a rare baby in the world, and when he grew up, he was not only more upright and beautiful, but also intelligent, not afraid of high-ranking officials, favored the old Zhuang Xuanli, obsessed with his peers, and was admired by bureaucrats and civilians. However, after entering the DPRK as an official, all the beautiful images related to him gradually faded away.
Wang Yan stills
He thought of the harsh environment in the remote areas, he could speak gently, and he was able to shoulder heavy responsibilities; he could force his daughter to divorce his daughter because his family was not implicated by his son-in-law, and even when he learned the truth, he was unwilling to prove his innocence to his son-in-law; in order to consolidate the family's power, he sent his brother to manage the military stronghold; in order to save his life at the last moment, he did not hesitate to shake the leader of the enemy country to be called emperor, and finally died tragically under the wall.
Appearance is a gift from heaven, for the official wants to live a good life, not to be spurned by the world, but also to have a superior spiritual character, not to do anything earth-shattering, but at least to do in his position to seek his own government, strive to govern, frankly do a good job, worthy of the expectations of others.
Wang Yan became the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty with his beauty and talent, and if he understood his duties early, concentrated on the major affairs of the country, ran for the support of the world, and worked hard for the people's lives, he would not have left tears of regret at the end of his life, nor would he have carried the name of subjugating the country. The times are fair, and the heroes who bow down to the country will be praised from generation to generation, and the same as the prime minister, Guan Zhong, Li Si and others are exemplary.
And people like Wang Yan, who left crooked traces in history, lay silently in the history books, and occasionally one day was turned over, leaving more negative images. It is hoped that in the development of the times, officials can be frank and upright and add a glorious stroke to history.
