Chapter 284 Half of the Analects of Confucius Ruling the World——Zhao Pu

[Tuoba Tao ordered Cui Hao to preside over the compilation of national history.

Although Tuoba Tao said he wanted to seek truth from facts, when he saw the "Records of the State" engraved on the stone, which actually recorded the history of Tuoba's early years of killing, desolation, and fornication, he was still dazzled by anger. He killed Cui Hao without any explanation, and also wiped out Cui Hao's nine clans.

It's not that no one reminded Cui Hao to be careful, because Tuoba Tao was driven by Cui Hao from ordering Buddhists to return to vulgarity to wantonly exterminating Buddhism.

Most of the Xianbei Taihe nobles believed in Buddhism, and they had nothing to do with Tuoba Tao who issued the edict, so they took their grievances on Cui Hao.

After Cui Hao came to power, he "wanted to rectify the products and distinguish the surnames". This move elevated the Han family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it was strongly dissatisfied by the Xianbei nobles. Cui Hao's death was only one fuse away. . 】

[If exterminating Buddhism and improving the status of the Han nationality are still beneficial to Tuoba Tao, it can be said that Cui Hao is seeking his own death by exposing Tuoba's past scandals.

Although Cui Hao has the demeanor of a great and talented minister, his emperor is not as magnanimous as Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

In the end, Cui Hao not only lost his dignity before his death, "Since he was slaughtered and humiliated, there is no one like Hao", but also implicated the in-laws of the same clan, no matter how far or near the Cui clan in Qinghe, plus the in-laws Fan Yanglu, Taiyuan Guo, etc. , Hedong Liu's family, all of them sat down and exterminated their clans. 】

Li Shimin shook his head, and muttered to himself: "I can only say that Cui Hao is not nice to people. After all, there is only one emperor like me through the ages."

Wei Zheng couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "That's right, Your Majesty and I are just fulfilling each other."

Cui Hao sighed deeply, and said: "A certain man once claimed to have counted his destiny, but he couldn't count his own death, soooooooo sad."

[Comparing himself to Zhang Liang, he has repeatedly offered extraordinary strategies and calculated exhaustive strategies. He has made great contributions in the journey of unifying the north. As a Han, he actually became a figure under one person and above ten thousand in the Northern Wei Dynasty established by the Xianbei people .

But in the end, Cui Hao was dazzled by the success, got carried away, made enemies on all sides, and ended up in a tragic end.

He calculated everything correctly, but he did not calculate his own ending alone.

He used the ups and downs of his life to tell the world: You can be proud but don't forget yourself.

To sum up, Cui Hao is ranked eighth among the top ten counselors in history, and he deserves his name. 】

"Cui Hao's end is embarrassing"

"How glorious it was once, how miserable it will be in the end. You really can't get carried away with yourself."

"However, this Cui Hao is really powerful. He almost hits every word, step by step, he climbed from a low position to a position below one person and above ten thousand."

"So what, it wasn't just a single sentence that killed the Nine Clans."

Cui Hao achieved the pinnacle of being a minister, but he forgot that there is an emperor above him who can take everything from him at any time, including his life.

After all, Cui Hao misjudged his own importance, as well as the emperor's patience and ruthlessness.

Amidst the discussion, the bound figure of Cui Hao gradually disappeared in the light curtain, and then the figure of the next person to be counted appeared on the stage.

[Hi everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the top ten counselors in Chinese history! 】

【Producer: Su Qian】

[The seventh of the top ten counselors in Chinese history: half of the Analects ruled the world, the founding hero of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu! 】

When Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhao Pu's name, he immediately clapped his hands happily and said, "I knew that Zhao Pu would definitely be on the list! Although he didn't make it to the list of celebrities, the last list of counselors is still very good!"

[Zhao Pu, courtesy name Zeping, was born in Ji County, Youzhou. His great-grandfather was the county magistrate of Sanhe in the late Tang Dynasty.

In the later Tang Dynasty, Zhao Dediao, the leader of Youzhou, fought for years, and his family and country were restless. Zhao Jiong was unbearable from the war, so his family moved to Changzhou and then to Luoyang.

Zhao Pu has been a very characteristic person since he was a child.

When he was ten years old, his father Zhao Jiong asked his husband to teach him rhetoric and counting in order to acquire the skills to survive, but he was not interested in learning at all.

Zhao Jiong blamed Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu said that it is useless to learn these things in troubled times. If you want to learn, you must learn the skills of assisting Mingzhu.

Zhao Jiong felt that what Zhao Pu said was quite reasonable, so he asked someone to teach him the art of vertical and horizontal in the pre-Qin period.

However, Zhao Pu was also not interested in this, saying that it was a sophistry technique used by scholars in the world to confuse people and seek wealth. But the strange thing is that he couldn't put it down to "The Analects of Confucius", thinking about it all day long. 】

[After the death of Song Taizu, Zhao Kuangyi became the emperor.

Others think that Zhao Pu has only read "The Analects of Confucius" all his life, and he is ignorant and incompetent, so it is not appropriate to be a prime minister.

Zhao Kuangyi asked Zhao Pu if this was the case, and Zhao Pu replied: I use half of "The Analects of Confucius" to rule the world.

This is also the origin of "half of the Analects governing the world". 】

[As an adult, Zhao Pu was taciturn, and his behavior was often unexpected.

The Wei family of the Zhenyang wealthy family heard his name, and after meeting him, they praised: "This son is Wang Zuozhi!" So he took the initiative to marry his daughter to him.

I have to say that this Wei family's vision is really vicious. Zhao Pu assisted Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to establish the Northern Song Dynasty, and also served as the prime minister of the three dynasties. He is a real Wang Zuozhi. 】

"Hey, this old man has become the prime minister of three dynasties, not bad!" Zhao Kuangyin laughed and praised.

[As we all know, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is the second era of great division in Chinese history (the first is the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms). In order to survive and develop, Zhao Pu left his wife and children and went out to roam the rivers and lakes.

But the ideal is often very full, but the reality is often very skinny. Zhao Pu, who went out to make a living, was quite unhappy at the beginning.

In order to make ends meet, Zhao Pu worked as a tutor, as an accountant, and as a clerk under a general, but he didn't work for long.

Later, he simply became a vagrant and wandered in the rivers and lakes for a full 15 years. 】

[Until the first year of Guo Weixiande, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty (AD 954), Jiedu made Liu Ci feel that Zhao Pu was still a talent, and asked him to do his own job (that is, a staff member), and Zhao Pu's life basically settled down.

After Zhao Pu settled down, he took his wife and children to reunite with him, but after two years of peaceful life, Liu Ci died of illness.

Fortunately, Liu Ci was kind to his subordinates. Before he died, he wrote a letter of recommendation, asking the imperial court to appoint Zhao Pu.

But at that time, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was busy fighting in Chuzhou, so he didn't have time to deal with such things. 】

[However, the opportunity soon came to Zhao Pu's side.

That day, Zhao Pu, who was bored, was drinking in an inn outside Chuzhou City. After a while, Zhao Kuangyin also brought a group of subordinates to drink.

As soon as Zhao Pu saw Zhao Kuangyin's dignified and inhuman appearance, he wanted to get acquainted with him.

So he loudly yelled away a small officer sitting next to Zhao Kuangyin, and sat next to him himself.

At this time, Shi Shouxin came over and wanted to sit next to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu said that this person would eventually become a Jiedu envoy and could sit together. 】

[Zhao Kuangyin, who was originally looking for talents to form a team and wanted to start a career, was very interested after hearing what Zhao Pu said. He felt that this person was not simple, so he made an appointment to find another time for an interview.

The two met and talked some other day, and they really became close friends who talked about everything.

Zhao Kuangyin called himself Liu Bei and praised Zhao Pu as Zhuge Liang. Zhao Pu also took advantage of the situation to plan a strategic decision for Zhao Kuangyin to seize military power and pursue a great cause. 】

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Later generations always use my elder brother and Kong Ming as examples. It seems that my elder brother and Kong Ming have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"

After a while, Guan Yu put away his smile again, and said to himself: "I will be out of Jingzhou soon, I must tell my elder brother all this, and help my elder brother to rule the world!"
