Who is the greatest enemy of Emperor Wu of Han? Needless to say, it must have been the Huns. The reason why Emperor Wu of Han was called "Wu" was because he set off a half-century-long war against his evil neighbor in the north, the Xiongnu; but if you ask who the most trusted courtiers of Emperor Wu of Han are, perhaps the answer will surprise many people. He was emperor of Emperor Wu of Han's former enemy, the Xiongnu prince Jin Ribao.
Why is it said that Jin Ilju was the closest courtier of Emperor Wu of Han? This is because before his death, Emperor Wu of Han wanted to give the position of shoufu to Jin Riju instead of the later famous minister Huo Guang. So, how did Jin Ilju grow from a prisoner to a loyal subject of Emperor Wu of Han?
Originally not surnamed Jin, but known as RiJu, Jin Ilju was the son of the Hun Evil King of the Xiongnu, who followed the tribe to the vicinity of the Hexi Corridor. In 129 BC, the Han Dynasty general Huo Zhiyi launched the Battle of Hexi, swept away the Xiongnu Hun evil and The Hutu tribes, beheaded tens of thousands of people, and completely expelled the Xiongnu forces from the Hexi Corridor.
Due to the repeated defeats of the Hun Evil King and the HuTu King, he angered the Xiongnu Shan Yu and wanted to arrest them and punish them. In desperation, the Hun Evil King and the King of Xiu Tu had no choice but to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and Huo Fuyi was responsible for the surrender. But in the middle of the surrender, the Hun Evil King repented. At this moment, Huo Wentai immediately made a decision, led the elite cavalry into the enemy group, and cut off the heads of the Hun Evil King and his 8,000 subordinates. A senseless chaos was thus eliminated by Huo Fuyi with a sharp blade.
Due to the betrayal of the Hun Evil King, Prince Nichiren was implicated, and not only was he not rewarded, but together with his mother and brother, he was punished as a slave in the palace. At that time, Hinata was only 14 years old.
What a painful transformation from prince to man slave. However, Ri Lei did not lose confidence in life, but instead raised horses diligently in the palace. Maybe in his opinion, it is already very good to be alive.
One day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty toured the Royal Horse Farm with his harem beauties. Seeing the arrival of the emperor, the slaves were busy bowing their heads and bowing down. However, the slaves were attracted by the beauties of the harem and frequently raised their eyes to peep. Although Emperor Wudi of Han knew about the bold behavior of raising man slaves, he did not say anything.
However, Emperor Wu of Han saw an "outlier" in the cultivation of manu. This human figure was majestic, majestic, and did not squint, as if the beautiful woman behind Emperor Wu of Han did not exist. Subsequently, Emperor Wu of Han summoned him to the front and inquired about his origins, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this person was actually the Xiongnu prince, Ri Li.
Subsequently, Emperor Wu of Han checked his horse breeding results and found that the horses raised by Ri Lei were fat and strong. Emperor Wu of Han always had a torch-like gaze and an eclectic use of people. In his opinion, although RiBao was a Hun, he was a rare talent. Therefore, he was appointed as the Imperial Horse Supervisor on the spot, and then promoted to the rank of Shizhong (侍中), The Commander of the Horse Guards, and the Grand Master of Guanglu ( 光禄大夫) can be described as a smooth step. Subsequently, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was inspired by The Sacrifice of Heavenly Jin, a national treasure, and gave the Riju family the surname of Jin.
As the Emperor's guard, Kim Il-seok worked diligently every day without mistake. Over time, Emperor Wu of Han also discovered that Jin Riju was different from other Huns. According to Sima Qian's records, the Xiongnu did not pay much attention to filial piety: the strong eat fat, and the old people could only eat scraps and cold. Therefore, in the eyes of the Han Dynasty people who attached importance to filial piety, the Huns were out-and-out barbarians. However, Kim Il-seok seems to be an exception, as he loves his mother so much.
After Jin Ilju's mother died of illness, Emperor Wu of Han, in order to comfort him, specially sent someone to paint a portrait of his mother and hang it in a hall of the Ganquan Palace. Every time Kim Il-seok passes by the portrait, he will cry and bow down, and then leave. The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and loyalty and filial piety were not separated. Kim Il-ri's filial piety touched Emperor Wu of Han and he gained greater trust. Subsequently, Emperor Wu of Han not only promoted Jin Ribao to the rank of official, but also sent him a lot of gold and silver treasures, and even gave him his beautiful palace daughters.
However, what was surprising was that for this palace girl, Kim Il-seok did not take a step beyond the thunder pool, but only provided for her well and never touched her. Jin Ilju's deep and cautious nature surprised Emperor Wu of Han.
For his children, Kim Il-seok's discipline is also very strict. Jin Ilju's eldest son entered the palace at an early age and served as a "lane" in front of Emperor Wu of Han. Judging from the historical records, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty was very fond of children, and he brought up a generation of famous generals Huo Fuyi. And kim Il-seok's eldest son, who also quickly gained the emperor's favor. Because Lang Er was still a child, he was always pampered, and he was no big or small with Emperor Wu of Han.
Once, the mischievous Lang'er wrapped his hands around the neck of Emperor Wu of Han, and he happened to be seen by Jin Ilju. Kim Il-seok picked up a big stick and was about to beat his son. While fleeing, Lang Er asked Emperor Wu of Han for help: "Daddy is angry!" When Emperor Wudi of Han saw this, he angrily said to Jin Ilju, "Why are you beating me up?" ”
Under the protection of Emperor Wu of Han, the grown-up lane became more and more arrogant. Once, Lang Er actually started a game with the palace maid, and the scene was somewhat ambiguous. When Kim Il-seok found out, he was angry, afraid and distressed. After returning home, Kim Il-seok actually killed Lang Er in pain. After that, he entered the palace to ask Emperor Wu of Han for his guilt. When Emperor Wu of Han heard that Lang'er was dead, he wept bitterly and scolded Jin Ilju. But after scolding, Kim Il-seok had a higher status in his heart.
During the plague of the witches, wei Zifu and the family of the crown prince Liu Zhao were destroyed by Jiang Chong and other villains, and almost all the whole family died. However, soon after, Emperor Wu of Han gradually realized the grievances of the prince, so he began to attack the group of children who mutilated the prince. Ma Heluo, originally a member of Jiang Chong's party, was very hard at suppressing the prince's rebellion, so he was made a marquis by Emperor Wu of Han.
After Jiang Chong was exterminated by the clan, Ma Heluo had a feeling of rabbit death and fox sorrow. In order to save his life, Maholo decided to strike first, launch a rebellion, and kill the emperor. At the Lin Guang Palace, Ma Heluo was armed with a sharp blade and prepared to kill Emperor Wu of Han with his own hands. However, Maholo's panicked expression was looked at by the shrewd Kim Il-seok. He saw That Maholo going out for no reason, so he followed him closely.
Ma Heluo saw that Jin Il-ri was following him, thinking that the plot had been revealed, so the dog jumped off the wall and galloped towards the residence of Emperor Wu of Han, while Kim Il-seok chased after him. In a panic, MaHoro was tripped by a Baoqin, and Kim Il-seok took advantage of the situation to hug him tightly and shouted, "MaHoro is the opposite!" ”
Listening to Jin Ilju's shouts, Emperor Wu of Han surrounded Ma Heluo with his bodyguards. The guards drew their swords and tried to kill Ma Heluo, but Emperor Wu of Han was afraid of hurting Jin Ilju and prevented them from killing with their swords. Kim Il-seok, who was already very strong, quickly subdued Ma Ho Luo and threw him at his highness, and the guards rushed up, and Ma Ho Luo captured. Just as the so-called high merit is better than saving the car, Jin Ilju has become the first meritorious minister in the heart of Emperor Wu of Han.
Before emperor Wu of Han died, he prepared to leave a group of ministers for the 8-year-old Liu Fuling. In the hearts of Emperor Wu of Han, The loyal Jin Ilju of Dunhou should become the first assistant. Even Huo Guang thought that he was far inferior to Kim Il-seok. In the face of Emperor Wu of Han's last will, Jin Ilju said: "Let me, the Xiongnu, be the first assistant, and make the Hu people despise the Han Dynasty." Officially, because of Kim Il-seok's humility, Huo Guang was able to take power.
Originally, Emperor Wu of Han wanted to make him the Marquis of Qi because of Jin Ribao's efforts to save the car. However, Kim Il-seok, believing that Emperor Han Zhao was young, had always refused to listen. Jin Ilju was not subject to the Marquis, and Huo Guang, Shangguan Jie, and others also did not dare to accept it. In 86 BC, Jin Riju was terminally ill, so Emperor Zhao of Han and Huo Guang forcibly shoved the marquis's seal into his hands. After Jin Ilju's death, Emperor Han Zhao held a solemn funeral for him in honor of this unique and famous Xiongnu courtier.
After Kim Il-seok's death, his descendants were still officials in the imperial court, all of whom were close and close subordinates of the emperors of previous dynasties, so the Kim family was known as the "Seven Dynasties Internal Servant". Even the historian Ban Gu exclaimed: "How prosperous." In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the descendants of Jin Ilju were often appointed as officials, and Wuling Taishou Jinxuan and Jingzhao Yin Jinyi were also rumored to be descendants of Jin Riju.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was harsh and often killed ministers because of his smallness, so why could Jin Ilju always maintain his honor and favor and let his descendants continue to be rich and noble to the Eastern Han Dynasty for 300 years?
This is because Kim Il-seok has always adhered to the principle of "loyalty to the emperor, but keep a distance". Although the tiger is fierce, it can still be close to people after being raised. But even so, the tiger is still a huge threat to people, and perhaps it can kill people with just a little anger, no matter how close they were before. Therefore, when the breeder is raising a tiger, he will often keep a distance and must not be too close.
It is said that the companion is like the companion of the tiger, and sometimes the emperor is like a tiger. Yesterday may still be close to you, today will be because of a small matter to want your life. For this, Kim Il-seok is deeply aware of this. Therefore, while being loyal to the emperor, Kim Il-seok never got too close to him, lest he leave a handle.
This is because when you are close, often unconsciously, you will be offended by the emperor. When the emperor was in a good mood, he would not care about these small offenses. But when the emperor is in a bad mood, these small offenses will become the reason for his own death.
Therefore, when the eldest son was too close to the emperor, Kim Il-seok would beat him; when the son had some ambiguity with the palace maid, Kim Il-seok would even kill him, which was also a helpless move to save the family. As for the palace maid who does not touch the imperial gift, it is actually the same reason.
Although Kim Il-seok is a Hu person, he naturally knows how to schem, so he can make his family prosperous. So what if ordinary people can learn the way of scheming and make their study, life and work smoother? In Tao Tao's view, it is necessary to read the history books.
Reading history books can make everyone grasp the wisdom of their predecessors, so as to avoid detours and avoid risks. In all the history books, the "Zizhi Tongjian" is almost a book that can comprehensively improve the quality of people in all aspects, and after reading it, it is equivalent to living for 1300 more years.
The reason why the author says this is because the "Zizhi Tongjian" was originally an imperial textbook, and it was all about power and conspiracy. As long as you learn the power schemes in the "Zizhi Tongjian", whether it is to deal with the world or to study and work, you can be at ease.
After the Song Dynasty, the Zizhi Tongjian was a compulsory book for emperors, and Zhang Juzheng, a generation of Ming Xiang, even used this book as a model to write a textbook for the Wanli Emperor.
It can be seen from this that Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" is indeed a rather powerful book, and the more you read it, the more you have charm, and the more you read it, the more sober your mind will be.
But for the general public, reading the text is still more difficult. Therefore, Tao Tao recommends a set of good books to everyone - "Vernacular Zizhi Tongjian".
This set of books was co-translated in the 1980s by Huang Jinfeng, professor of Chinese language and doctoral supervisor of National Taiwan University, and gathered 27 professors and scholars from many colleges and universities in Taiwan.
Because the scholars who compiled this book are all Guoxue masters, this set of books is by no means the Zizhi Tongjian that is shoddily made and carries private goods on the market now. Instead, it respects the original text, translates it word by word, and adds no more than one word, so as to get close to and restore the original meaning of the "Zizhi Tongjian". It is not explained by a "modern vision", and it is even more uneven. And it's the whole book.
Inside there are portraits of important people
There is a concise genealogical table of emperors and a brief list of official systems. After coming out, he was recommended by the master of traditional Chinese studies Qian Mu and Tai Jingnong.
As a history lover, it is very cost-effective to start this set, because this set of activities in the headlines, a set of ten books, the original price of 498, now the headline readers as long as 208, it can be said that it is very valuable.
For this book, as long as you can read it once, you can have a huge gain. Therefore, Tao Tao suggested that everyone quickly buy this set of books, read it several times, have a long insight, and learn to learn the strategy. I believe that after reading this book, you will walk more than 1300 years of life than others.
