Mr. Xun Xun

(1)

Mr. Xun Xun (?) --289), courtesy name Gongzeng, a native of Yingchuan Yingyin (present-day Xuchang, Henan), was a politician, writer, and rhythmist of the early Western Jin Dynasty, born in the late Han and early Jin dynasties, the famous "Yingchuan Xun clan", which was a family clan of noble and elite people, sometimes known as "Ruying Duoqishi", which was recorded in historical records by as many as a hundred people. His great-grandfather Xun Shuang, a famous scribe of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote "Li", "Yi Chuan", "Poetry Biography", etc., with the title of "Shuo Ru"; his grandfather Xun Tangguan to the Commander of the Shooting Sound School, his reputation was not very prominent; his father Xun Qi died early, and he grew up with his uncle since childhood. For his early career, look at the records of the "Jin Shu Xun Xun Biography":

Qi Ling is a dreamer, more than ten years old can belong to the text. From his maternal grandfather Wei Taifu Zhongxuan: "This child should be his great-grandfather." "He is long, erudite, and up to politics." Shi Wei (仕魏), the general Cao Shuang (曹爽掾), and The Zhongshu Tongshilang (通事郎). Shuang Jie, the protégé of the old official has no courage to go, and he will go alone, and the multitude will follow it. For the Sake of Anyang Ling, he turned to ride to engage in Zhonglang. Xun has a legacy of love, and Anyang was born as a shrine.

"Qi Ling", Junmao Zhizhi, Yu Yingwu Wisdom; "Zhong Xuan", Xun Xun from his maternal grandfather, Cao Wei famous politician, calligrapher, official to Taifu; "掾", Sasuke, that is, an aide-de-camp or attaché; "Zhongshu Tongshilang", also known as Zhongshu Lang, the emperor's retinue, responsible for presenting the book to the emperor and reading it, the title is not high, the power is very heavy; "Zhonglang", also known as Zhonglang, the emperor's close attendant, in charge of the affairs of the car, riding, portal and other affairs, ranked more than six hundred stones; "bequest", referring to the morality and contribution of later generations.

Mr. Xun Xun was extremely talented since childhood, and when he was more than ten years old, he wrote a pen and wrote a poem with a flying word, and his grandfather, the great calligrapher Zhong Xuan, once pointed at him and said: "This child is very similar to his great-grandfather!" "His early career as a eunuch was a unique style, and as soon as he entered the career, he came to the command of Cao Shuang, a general of the Cao Wei Dynasty, first as an assistant, then promoted to Zhongshu Tongshilang, and began to enter the court. In the first ten years (249), the "Gaopingling Coup" broke out, Cao Shuang was killed by Sima Yi, the Cao Wei regime was in danger, and those protégés who usually buzzed around Cao Shuang were like shrunken-headed turtles, no one dared to squeak, only Xun Xun was not afraid of Sima Shiming's dangling axe, and went to Pinghang alone, "everyone is from it", and when everyone saw that it was okay, they came to mourn and send farewell. Xun Xun's move was praised by the people of the world, and then promoted to Anyang County Order, during his term of office, he was diligent and loved the people, repeatedly gave good policies, quite moral government, and later after being transferred back to Beijing, the anyang people were very grateful to him, and built a shrine for him to show their praise.

Sima Zhao, King of Jin

If it is said that it is a bold and righteous act to not be afraid of the sword and axe to bully and to hang the old lord Cao Shuang; then it is a meritorious deed to reject Sima Zhao's indiscriminate killing order and save an innocent family from the butcher's knife.

In the fifth year of Ganlu (260), the 4th emperor of the Cao Wei Dynasty, the Duke of Gaoguixiang, Cao Xian, because he was abused by the general Sima Zhao, was not willing to be humiliated, and plotted to resist, Sima Zhao heard the wind, ordered the heightened guard, and ordered the general Sun You to strictly guard the gate of the main gate of the palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will. Just at this moment, Sima Zhao's younger brother, Sima Gan, the Marquis of Anyangting, was ordered to enter the dynasty, and sima gan rushed to the court, and he rushed to the gate with a horse, but was blocked by Sun You, Sima Gan said that he was urgently allowed to go on official business, Sun You said that he was ordered to act and please cooperate, Sima Gan had no choice but to go around the Dongye Gate, "And to the end, Emperor Chizhi, Dry yi bai, Emperor Wanting clan to curse you", Sima Gan was late for no reason, Sima Zhao was very unhappy, and asked him why he came so late? Sima Gan was distraught and interrogated, and Sima Zhao, furious, "wanted the clan to bless" and ordered the slaughter of the Sun family. Xun Xunjin said, "Sun You does not accept Anyang, and it is advisable to take a deep responsibility. However, if things are against the grain, the use of punishment should not be aggravated by anger. Now he was sentenced to death, and the you nai clan cursed, fearing the righteous soldiers privately. He said that Sun You did not let go of the Marquis of Anyang, he could criticize, but things always have the right to go against the grain, and he could not use torture to decide the severity of his anger, Sun You was just following orders, there was nothing wrong with it, and now he not only wanted to kill him, but also destroy the whole family, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from the people of the world!

When Sima Zhao heard this, his words were reasonable, and he issued an order to save Sun You from death and depose him as a Shuren. A principled official is ruined, an innocent family is saved. The merit is immeasurable!

At this time, a fierce royal cavalry lu left a letter to the great general, "Ask for the assassin to enter Shu", assassinate the Shu lord Liu Chan and other Shu monarchs, Sima Zhao read the book and was very happy, thinking that it was a heavenly divine soldier, and came for the Heavenly Path. Xun Xun did not think so, and calmly said: "Ming Gong and even the public dominate the world, it is advisable to scepter justice to cut down the disobedience." And the name of the assassin to eliminate thieves, not the so-called punishment in the four seas, to serve the far away with virtue. He said, "Ming Gong, even if you are in charge of the world, you should hold high the banner of justice to fight rebellion." If the assassin is allowed to go out of the horse, even if the traitor is eliminated, the etiquette cannot be spread to the whole world, let alone the world with virtue! --Sima Zhao nodded and said yes. The dream of Mr. Ichisuke Riding Road to gain fame by performing assassinations was shattered.

In the fourth year of Jing Yuan (263), the momentum of Wei Shu's Wu Ding foot and three stands had already appeared to be violently shaken, and Sima Zhao sent a three-way army to capture the Shu capital Chengdu and capture the Shu lord Liu Chan. When the news came, Sima Zhao was in a trance, and he would be suspicious of the letter, he had always trusted Zhong Hui, and his grace was continuous, so why would this guy be ungrateful and launch a rebellion? Xun Xunjin said that although you are kind to Zhong Hui, he may not know how to be grateful, but it is better to be cautious and make preparations early. Sima Zhao nodded and said yes, and immediately planned a countermeasure. Someone said that Zhong Would be Xun Xun's nephew, and he wanted to let the two collude inside and outside, so let him out as soon as possible. Sima Zhao scoffed, "And let Xun accompany the ride, and treat it as before."

Shi Will send envoys to hire Wu, and send the scribes at that time to write books with Sun Hao, and the emperor used Xun to write. Hao reported his orders and relatives, and the emperor said: "The king wrote a book before the king, so that Wu Sishun could win over the crowd of 100,000." (The Biography of Xun Xun of the Jin Dynasty)

Although Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei jointly started a rebellion, for a while, Wei Nai was strongly sniped by Wei Ou, the superintendent of the army, and Wei Ou was not afraid of danger, witty and cunning, killed Zhong Hui, cursed Deng Ai, calmed the riots, stabilized the overall situation, made special contributions, was promoted to the general of Zhendong, and was promoted to the marquis of Jingyang. Sima Zhao regained control of the situation, still feeling dangerous, so he sent emissaries to Eastern Wu, soft and hard, while almost threatening, in order to test the bottom card of sun hao, the wu lord. Sima Zhao ordered his talents to write a letter to the Wu lord Sun Hao, which was actually a contest of literary talents, and Xun Xun's work was selected. Its words are: "Fang Jin Lord Shang Shengming, covering everything, servants are prepared for the throne, and they belong to the country." Only Huaxia is obedient, Fang Yu is cracked, more than sixty years, The Golden Revolution is urgently moving, there is no war for all years, the violent skeleton is lost, the sleepy and emaciated, every time with mourning, sit and wait. He wanted to stop Ge Xingren and ask for the people's life, so he divided his orders into divisions, pacified shu Han, and served for many years, and the whole army was alone. At that time, the generals and courtiers, and the xian were suitable for the time of the heavens, so that the army of the conquest, by swallowing the enemy, should return to the east of the flag to approach the Wu realm. Boat division pan river, down the river, the army south, take the four counties, and chengdu's weapons, Cao Ba Han's millet, and then with the Chinese army brigade, the three-way cloud society, not to Huan Chen, can make the river table flat, the southern Xia along the track..."

Wu Lord Sun Hao

Paraphrasing: Now your excellency is known as the Prince of the Holy Ming, Enze Jiangdong, I am in Zaifu, serving Wei Jun, we have different honorable positions, the public heart is the same, and we will put state affairs first. Over the past few years, China's fate has been troubled, the country and mountains have fallen apart, for more than sixty years, swords and soldiers are facing each other, wars are raging, there is no moment of peace, corpses are all over the field, the people are not happy, whenever I meditate, I toss and turn, sleepless all night, and sit until dawn. In order to end the war as soon as possible, implement benevolent government, and benefit the people, I only ordered the partial division to march south, and in less than a year, I pacified the Shu Han, and on the day of the completion of the great achievement, when the masses rejoiced, the government and the opposition, the courtiers and fierce generals, one after another, suggested that they take advantage of the victory and pursue, take the Wu kingdom directly, the water division boat down the river, step by step and ride iron hooves to occupy the four counties, plus chengdu military strength, Bashu grain and grass support, with the imperial court army as the main force, the three road army in unison, the momentum is like a mountain and the sea, Jiangdong can go down with a drum...

After Sun Hao read it, his face turned pale, and he wrote back that he was willing to make peace with Wei Guo, and Sima Zhao praised him, saying that Xun Aiqing was really a great talent, with thousands of pen strength, pouring out Eastern Wu, and winning over 100,000 troops!

The idiot Emperor Sima Zheng

(2)

The sea of eunuchs is full of waves, and life is sinking and floating.

In the fifth year of Jingyuan (264), Sima Zhao became the King of Jin and coveted the throne, and Xun Xun was promoted to shizhong (侍中), Feng'an Yangzi (安阳子), and Qianhu (食邑千戶). Seeing that the Emperor Star of the Sima clan was about to rise, and the coronation gong and drum sounded in the sky, it was not expected that there would be a sudden change, and in August of the following year, Sima Zhaoxue suddenly fell ill and died at the age of 55, known as "King Wen". His son Sima Yan wept bitterly and vowed to inherit his father's legacy. By the end of the year, Sima Yan had proclaimed Wei emperor and established the Western Jin Dynasty, in order to honor his grandfather Sima Yi as Emperor Xuan and gaozu as the temple name; his uncle Sima Shi as Emperor Jing and the temple number Shizong; and his father Sima Zhao as Emperor Wen and Taizu as the temple name. At this point, the three generations of the Sima clan were all honored with the title of emperor, and their loyal followers were added to the rank of knight, and Xun Xun was made the Duke of Jibei County, worshiped the Zhongshu Supervisor, and jia Shizhong, becoming a vassal of the new dynasty.

As the years passed, the eunuch sea floated, and Mr. Xun Xun's wind and rain had exhausted his original vigor and vitality, showing an old fritter style in the official field, "He has managed secrets for a long time, has talent, has the ability to think, probes the people's masters' small wills, and does not violate the face of the quarrel, so he must always be fully favored." (The Biography of Xun Xun of the Jin Dynasty). And the "three major crimes" that he suffered from the tarts of later generations gradually surfaced in the rivers and lakes. First, Jia Chong, a courtier of flattery and power, played a trick for the tiger; second, he supported the idiot emperor Sima Zheng, causing the collapse of the dynasty; third, he helped the ugly and violent Jia Nanfeng to the rear seat, inducing the tragic "Rebellion of the Eight Kings".

Jia Chong was a founding hero of the Western Jin Dynasty, but his reputation was very bad, and the "Biography of Jia Chong" said that he "had the talent of a sword and pen, and could observe the will of the superior", and "without the exercise of the public party, he could not be under the command of the body, and he was exclusively flattered" to take advantage of him. In the fifth year of Ganlu (260), the Wei emperor Cao Xi rebelled and led a group of bodyguards and slaves to attack Sima Zhao, the king of Jin, and Jia Chong ordered the crown prince Cheng Ji to assassinate him, eradicating the great trouble for Sima Shi, and Cheng Ji later became a substitute ghost, but Jia Chong was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Anyang Township, and his grace was matchless.

Cao Xian (曹髦), courtesy name Yanshi (曹彦士), grandson of Emperor Wen of Wei and son of Cao Lin (曹霖), the Prince of Donghaiding, was the fourth emperor of Cao Wei and was known in history as the "Noble Township Duke". Regarding the death of Cao Xi, the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, and the Chronicle of the Three Young Emperors has only one sentence: "May is ugly, noble township public servant, twenty years old." As for the cause of death, he did not mention anything, but through the mouth of Empress Guo, he denounced Cao Xi for "being violent in nature, and the sun and the moon are even worse", "the great general is still young, saying that he should change his heart for good", and it is not expected that he "has acted disobediently" and tried to murder the empress, "and he has fallen into a great calamity, which makes my mourning unspeakable" Yunyun. Empress Guo's edict was not only Old Lady Guo's strategy of survival and self-improvement, but also had nothing to do with Sima Zhao's coercion; Chen Shou's "script-based propaganda" obviously belonged to a "selective" account, and there were a few clouds of doubt that Sima Shi's curved pen was exonerated.

Assassinate Cao Xian

Regarding Cao Xi's funeral, the great general Sima Zhao, together with Sima Fu the Great Fu, Gao Rou of Taiwei, and Situ Zheng Chong, jointly wrote to the empress dowager: "Now the noble township public has committed unruly deeds, several dangers and social orders, self-inflicted overthrow, people and gods are extinct, buried with folk ceremonies, and honestly as an old code." Such a harsh rebuke, Chen Shou is also a "real record", and his "support for the strong and bullying the weak" and the chronic disease of His Holiness are in sight.

The Southern Dynasty historian Pei Songzhi's commentary "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", citing the record of the "Spring and Autumn of the Han Dynasty", supplements and restores this historical fact:

The emperor saw that the authoritarian day was gone, and he was overwhelmed with indignation. It is the summoning of Wang Shen, Shang Shu Wang Jing, and Shanqi Chang shi Wang Ye, saying: "Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know it." I cannot sit back and be humiliated, but today I should consult with the Secretary of State and others "... The emperor had hundreds of servants and clamored out. King Wen's disciple Tun Riding School Lieutenant entered, met the emperor in the east to stop the car gate, left and right, and the tenants ran. The Central Protector Jia Chong fought against the Emperor at the Southern Que, and the Emperor used his own sword. The crowd wanted to retreat, and the crown prince Asked Cheng ji, "Things are urgent." When the cloud is what? Chong Yue: "Livestock breeding Ru, etc., is exactly today." Today's matter, do not ask anything. "Ji is the former assassin, and the blade is out of the back."

"King Wen", i.e. Sima Zhao; "Tenant", Sima Zhao's younger brother and lieutenant Sima Zhao. Cao Xian gathered his cronies, Wang Shen of Shizhong, Wang Jing of Shangshu, Wang Ye of Shanqi Changshi, and others, issued the call of "Sima Zhao's heart, known to everyone in passers-by", and vowed to fight With Sima Shi to the death, and then he went straight into the palace to report to Empress Guo, and Wang Shen and Wang Ye ran to the General's Mansion with a smoke and reported to Sima Zhao. After that, Cao Xian drew his sword and boarded the car, clamored to attack, and performed a tragedy of "eggs hitting stones". At the East Gate of Chemen, a cadre of people encountered Sima Ling, a lieutenant of the Tun Riding School, and his subordinates, and the angry Cao Xian shouted loudly, and the left and right wah-ho-ha-cha-o Jia Chong said, Isn't it precisely for today that Sima Gongren raised you, and asked me what to do? ——Cheng Ji raised his sword forward and stabbed the emperor directly, "The blade came out of his back"!

The "Spring and Autumn of the Han Dynasty" also records the funeral rites of Cao Xi: "Ding Jiao, buried the noble township duke in the northwest of Luoyang thirty miles on the coast of the river. Get out of the car for a few times, and there is no beauty, and the people gather together to look at it, saying: 'It is the son of heaven who was killed the day before.' Or cover your face and weep, and you will not be able to overcome your sorrow. "瀍涧" refers to the valley basin between the Ying River and the Jian River; "Jingjing", that is, the mingjing, the soul-calling banner that guides the coffin.

From Chen Shou's account of the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms to Pei Songzhi's quotation of the "Spring and Autumn of the Han Dynasty", we can perceive the turmoil of the waves and clouds at the time of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and glimpse the historical "black hole" caused by the selective writing of historians, as well as the vicious cruelty of Sima Zhao's handling of things, and the sloppiness and desolation of Cao Xian's later events. The so-called "historical record", but so also.

Jia Chong, a powerful minister of the Western Jin Dynasty

Despite the exhaustion of the organs, Sima Zhao had not yet had time to ascend to the emperor's throne, and he cried out in mourning. On his deathbed, he told sima yan, the crown prince, that Jia Chong was loyal and could be worthy of a great responsibility. Sima Yan established himself on behalf of Wei, that is, in accordance with his father's orders, Bai Jia chong as a general on the chariot, a regular attendant on the scattered horse, a servant of the Shangshu, and a duke of Fenglu County, and for a time the power of the world was overthrown.

As one of the founding ministers, Mr. Xun Xun, after entering the Jin Dynasty, he held important posts such as Guanglu Dafu and Zhongshu Supervisor, revised laws and regulations together with the powerful minister Jia Chong, sorted out the classics with the famous scholar Zhang Hua, and also ordered the dismissal of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and made many contributions. However, perhaps it was the same smell, he later formed a community of interests with Jia Chong, repeatedly committed bad deeds, and was criticized by the world.

In that year, the Xianbei forces in the northwestern Qinyong area (present-day southeastern Gansu and western Shaanxi) continued to expand, repeatedly defeating the Jin army, and some people recommended Jia Chong to go out of the town of Qinyong, planning to take the opportunity to expel him from the court. Xun Xun plotted with Feng Zhen, the squire of the Scattered Horse, and said, "Jia Gong is far away, and we are out of power. The marriage of the crown prince has not yet been decided, and if the daughter is made a concubine, she will not stay and stop herself. (The Biography of Xun Xun of the Jin Dynasty). Once Jia Gong is gone, we will lose power. The marriage of The Crown Prince Sima Zheng has not yet been finalized, and if he can get the daughter of Jia Gong to marry the prince as a concubine, he will naturally stay in the center. Feng Zhen frequently nodded and said yes.

At that time, Emperor Wu Sima Yan had already chosen the daughter of Taibao Bao as the crown princess, and Shi Zai, Wei Wan, was deeply knowledgeable, learned literature and art, and "for the sake of political simplicity, even won the reputation of the government and the opposition" ("Jin Shu Wei Wan Biography"). In order to stir up this established marriage and put Jia Chong's daughter on the throne, Xun Xun Feng Zhen and others took a series of actions to encourage the tongue of the spring, bragging in front of Emperor Wu that Jia Chong's daughter Mei Ruo Tianxian was beautiful, bribing Empress Yang Yan, making her blow the gentle wind on the pillow, and then bribing the palace eunuchs around the emperor, making them clamor for their clamor, and praising jia's daughter as a perfect beauty, "having the virtue of a concubine after Guan Ju", and being able to become the prince's virtuous internal help. Under the strong winds of several demons, Emperor Wu finally changed his mind and agreed to make Na jiachong's daughter the crown princess. In this regard, the world despised him, calling him a "beggar of flattery" and "at that time he was very ill by the righteous, and he was ridiculed by the flattering" ("Jin Shu Xun Xun Biography").

Jia Chong has two daughters, the prince was originally scheduled to marry his sister Jia Wu, but the 12-year-old Jia Wu grew particularly short, and even the gorgeous wedding dress could not stand up, so he had to sing a "sister easy to marry", which was replaced by his sister Jia Nanfeng. Jia Nanfeng was 15 years old at the time, 2 years older than the prince, short in stature, blue and black in skin, a mole between his eyebrows, strange and ugly, but he became a princess by mistake. The records of Jia Nanfeng in the "Book of Jin and the Biography of The Later Concubines" include "concubines are cruel and cruel", "violent and increasingly violent", "absurd and unrestrained". Soon after entering the palace, this sinister and vicious and ugly-looking woman put the idiot prince in order to obey and be afraid of her. Once, she accidentally found that a beautiful concubine in the Eastern Palace was pregnant, so she picked up a halberd in her hand and threw it over, causing the fetus to fall to the ground immediately, and the concubine died instantly. Its ferocity is so fierce, and it is certain that the world will be in turmoil.

Empress Dowager Jia Nanfeng

In fact, for the idiot son to take over, Emperor Wu of Jin has always been worried, "Emperor Su knows that the prince is weak and afraid of chaos in the future", and gradually came up with the intention of changing horses, and the hundred officials also encouraged him to set up another prince. According to the Biography of The Book of Jin, "Emperor Hui was the crown prince, and the courtiers were pure and could not personally govern. Once, wei Huan pretended to be drunk, knelt down in front of Emperor Wu's bed and said that something had happened, and Emperor Wu asked him what was going on, but he wanted to stop talking and hesitated again and again, "Because he touched the bed with his hand, he said: 'This seat is a pity!'" The emperor is enlightened, because of the fallacy: 'True drunk? Wei Wan, wanting to say that he was still hugh, did not dare to speak directly, only saying that it was a pity for the emperor's throne, Emperor Wu was not a fool, but he was only sloppy,Wang Gu said that he was left and right.

The dialogue between Wei Wan and Emperor Wu spread like a god beating a cow in the air, which made the crown prince's birth mother and empress Yang Yan very nervous, deeply afraid of change, and took out the famous words in the Confucian classic "Biography of the Ram" to defend her son: "Li Yan is not a virtuous person for his longevity, and he wantsonly abolishes the throne, which is going to cause chaos in the world!" Before Yang Yan died, in order to ensure that his son's position was stable, he rested his head on Emperor Wu's lap with difficulty, and with tears asking him to ensure that he did not depose the crown prince, Emperor Wu had to nod his head vaguely, but his worries remained the same.

Emperor Shi knew that the crown prince was weak and feared that the country would be chaotic, so he sent Xun Xun and He Yu to look at it. Xun also praised the virtue of the prince, and the prince of Yueyun was as before. So the world is noble and lowly. The emperor will abolish Concubine Jia, Xun and Feng Zhen and other advice, so they will not be abolished. When the time came to destroy the country, Sun Zi and Liu Fang were on the horse. (The Biography of Xun Xun of jin)

"Dark and weak", ignorant and cowardly; "Sun Zi and Liu Fang", both were courtiers at the end of Cao Wei, who won the favor of the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui with flattery, pushed Cao Shuang to the throne, and became the gravediggers of Cao Wei's demise. This brief account records two major events that led to the overthrow of the Western Jin Dynasty: first, the idiot prince Sima Zheng was pushed to the throne; second, it helped the cruel crown princess Jia Nanfeng to stabilize the throne.

Naoto and Yu

In order to dispel his doubts and find excuses for his idiot son to succeed to the throne, Emperor Wu assigned Xun Xun and Heyue to investigate in order to judge the merits of the crown prince. The results of the two men's investigation are very different. Xun Xun said that the crown prince was "wise and elegant, just like the Ming Zhao". "Wise", intelligent and insightful, "elegant", elegant and dignified. Xun Xun praised the prince for his clear knowledge and elegance, both ability and political integrity, and was an excellent "successor to the revolutionary cause"; He Yu insisted that the prince was still weak and had not changed much, "The holy quality is like the first ear!" The emperor was very annoyed, "displeased." The incident spread and caused an uproar in public opinion, "So the world is noble and lowly", Xun Xun, who opened his eyes and said nonsense, was scolded to the point of bloodshed, and the truth was respected by the world.

He Yu (和峤), also spelled Chang you, a native of Xiping (present-day Xiping, Henan), said in the Jin Shu he (金書和峤傳) that he was "rare in style and thick in self-respect", and Taifu was engaged in Zhonglang Yu (中郎庾顗) and praised: "Dasen Sen is like a thousand zhangsong, although there are many programs, Shi Zhi Mansion, has the use of a beam." Such a generation of Yinghua was deeply favored by Emperor Wu, and the official was in the middle of the book order, equivalent to the secretary general of the General Office of the Central Committee. At that time, Xun Xun was in the position of Zhongshu Supervisor, which was equivalent to the rank of Zhongshu Ling, and his rank was slightly higher. According to the rules of the imperial court, Zhongshu Ling and Zhongshu Jian shared a car into the dynasty, however, He Yu despised Xun Xun as a person and refused to ride with him, emperor Wu had no choice but to let the two people ride separately, and since then it has become a common practice, "the prison orders different cars, since the beginning of the zhao".

He yu has always been a staunch "horse changer". He said to Emperor Wu: "The crown prince has the style of chungu, and Ji Shi is more than a fake, and he is afraid of His Majesty's family affairs." Replacing the word "idiot" with "the wind of the ancients" can be described as a gentle change. Prince "Chungu", the world is unpredictable, handing over the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to him, how can he carry it? Despite his earnest words, Emperor Wu of TheUranai only took it as a wind in his ears, so that the mottled ship of the Western Jin Dynasty gradually sailed into the abyss of turmoil...

In the first year of Taixi (290), Emperor Wu died at the age of 55, sima zheng succeeded to the throne and became a famous idiot emperor, and Jia Hou instigated him to rebuke Heyu: "Don't you mean that you are not burdened with great responsibility?" What do you say today? He Yu replied darkly, "I did say this at the beginning, but unfortunately it was not adopted by the Former Emperor." The subject did not dare to escape his guilt! Emperor Hui listened and just smirked. Because Jia Hou did not expect that He Yu would admit it and did not teach Emperor Hui how to deal with it!

At first, emperor Wu of Jin also saw all kinds of evil deeds of Crown Princess Jia Nanfeng in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, and once had the idea of abolishing the queen, and Xun Xun, Feng Zhen and others jumped out to obstruct him, and Emperor Wu did not insist, and Jia Nanfeng was able to consolidate his position and become a generation of demons who plagued the world, and the people of the world angrily scolded Xun Xun, saying that he was a traitor and flatterer who "fell into harm to the country". The founding hero of the country, only the name of the world, the power of the world, but because of the "when the country is harmed", it was nailed to the column of historical shame, which reminds people of a sentence - the heavens are good reincarnation, who has the heavens spared?

Book of Jin

Despite the tide of scolding, Mr. Xun Xun has been in a high position for a long time, and his "official secret book" is a word: "silence".

Every edict, though it has been proclaimed, will never be uttered, nor will it be desired to make people know themselves and hear of it. The clan disciple Liang once advised Xun Yue: "The public is lost and found, and those who have benefited can speak of themselves, then Huai En is more than enough." His son-in-law Wu Tong also said that Xun "it is advisable to have a camp and let those who have it returned." He was silent and silent, and retreated to the words of the sons: "If a person is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is selfish, he will betray the public, which is the great precept." Ru and others should also be eunuchs in the world, and it is advisable to know my intentions. (The Biography of Xun Xun of the Jin Dynasty)

Whenever there was a major event in the DPRK and China, even though it had been announced, Xun Xun, as one of the important decision-makers, pretended to be stupid and did not say a word. His brother Xun Liang complained about this, hoping that he would spoil it in advance so as to ask for credit from those who were promoted; his son-in-law Wu Tong also advised him to use imperial court secrets to run his own circle of fans. He was silent about the suggestions of these two "outsiders", but when he returned home, he said something to his sons: "If people are not secret, they will lose their bodies, and if they are private, they will betray their justice, which is a great precept." Ru and others should also be eunuchs in the world, and it is advisable to know my intentions. He said that as a minister of the imperial court, he could not keep secrets, and not only would he lose his official position, but he might also lose his life; it was a taboo in the official field to cultivate a private party and betray official affairs, and it was necessary to be highly vigilant. In the future, you will also embark on the road of career, floating in the sea, you must understand your father's intentions!

Wait a minute, be careful

So calculating, there are also times when horses lose their front hooves. In that year, Xun Xun was dismissed from the Zhongshu Supervisor, transferred to the post of Shangshu Ling, and suddenly left the center of power, he was very unhappy in his heart, "very reckless and hateful", someone came to congratulate him, he said depressedly: "Take me Fenghuangchi, the kings congratulate me for evil!" "Fenghuang Pond is the office of Zhongshu Province in the imperial palace, and the real center of the imperial court." The emperor asked me to leave the central area, the light rose and the dark descended, you congratulate a bird? —— After only more than a month in shang shuling's tenure, his old mother died, and he asked for dismissal, but the emperor refused, and had to be ordered to see things, and his original eunuch enthusiasm was already as good as a yellow crane.

Mr. Xun Xun was an official in his lifetime, but he left a chicken feather. As the saying goes: the past is like smoke; the old is like smoke; the past is not like smoke. Its gains and losses are indeed thought-provoking.
