Chapter 55

Prime Minister Chen Pingping is also a native of Yangwuhu Township.When I was young, my family was poor, and I was fond of reading. I had [-] acres of land and lived alone with my brother and uncle.Bo often plowed the fields, and sent Zongping envoys to study.Ping grows up to be beautiful.People may say that Chen Ping said: "How can you eat if you are poor and fat?" His sister-in-law was jealous of Ping's disregard for family production, and said: "I also eat chaff and kernel ears. It is better to have no uncles like this." Wife and abandon it.

And Pingchang, you can marry a wife, the rich are unwilling to give it, and the poor are ashamed of it.For a long time, the wealthy households had Zhang Negative, and Zhang Negative's daughters and grandchildren married five times and their husbands died, so no one dared to marry.I want to get it.There are funerals in the town, poverty alleviation, and mourning, and it is helpful to go first and then stop.When Zhang Neg saw the funeral home, he only looked at Weiping, and Ping left because of the reason.When Suiping came to his home, his home was in Guoqiong Lane, with a bad seat as the door, but there were many old people's ruts outside the door.Zhang negative returned, saying that his son Zhong said: "I want to give Chen Ping my daughter and grandson." Zhang Zhong said: "Ping is poor and does nothing. The whole county laughs at what he does. Why should I give it to my daughter?" Said: "People are inherently beautiful like Chen Ping, but they grow up poor and humble?" Death and daughter.In order to alleviate poverty, it is used to hire money with fake money, and to give money to wine and meat to concubines.Negatively commanded his grandson, saying: "Don't be poor, and you are not cautious in serving people. Treat your uncle like your father, and your sister-in-law like your mother." Ping married Zhang's daughter, and he used it to benefit Rao, and his travels became wider and wider.

In Lizhongshe, the level is the slaughter, and the meat is divided evenly.The elders said: "Good, Chen Ruzi is the slaughter!" Ping said: "Wow, it's just like meat to make Ping slaughter the world!"

Chen She rose up and became king of Chen, so that Zhou Shi could decide the land of Wei, made Wei Jiu the king of Wei, and attacked Linji with the Qin army.Chen Pinggu had already thanked his brother and uncle, and Linji was blamed for Wei Wang's affairs since he was young.The king of Wei thought he was a servant.It was said that the king of Wei would not listen, and people might slander him, and Chen Ping died.

For a long time, Xiang Yu went to the river, and Chen Ping went back to it. He broke Qin from the entry and gave Ping Jueqing.Xiang Yu's Eastern King Pengcheng also, the Han King also ordered the Three Qins to go east, and the Yin King rebelled against Chu.Xiang Yu took Ping as the trustworthy Lord of Wu, and defeated the king of Wei in the past, and returned the king of Yin by defeating him.King Xiang made Xiang Han worship Ping as his captain and gave him twenty overflowing gold.Juwuhe, the king of Han captured Yin.King Xiang was furious, and ordered the officials of Yin to be punished.Chen Ping was afraid of being punished, so he sealed his gold and seal, and sent the envoy back to King Xiang, but Ping died with a stick and sword.When crossing the river, the boatman saw his beautiful husband walking alone, and suspected that his dead general should have gold and jade treasures in his eyes, and wanted to kill him.In order to calm down the fear, he undressed and naked and helped stab the boat.The boatman knew that there was nothing, so he stopped.

Pingsui came to Xiuwu and surrendered to Han. Because Wei Wuzhi asked to see the king of Han, the king of Han summoned him.At that time, Wan Shijun became the King of Han Zhongjuan, received Ping's homage, and entered to see Ping.Equal seven people advance together and give food.The king said: "Come on, let's leave it." Ping said: "The minister is here for business, and what he said cannot pass today." "For the captain." It was Hinai Baiping who was the captain, who was envoys to join the army and guard the army.The generals were exhausted and said: "One day the king won the death of Chu, and he didn't know his height, but he went with him and sent him to guard the commander of the army!" The king of Han became more and more fortunate when he heard about it.Then he attacked King Xiang in the east.As far as Pengcheng, it was defeated by Chu.Introduced and returned, collected scattered troops to Xingyang, took Ping as the second general, belonged to Han Wangxin, and his army was Guangwu.

Jiang Hou, Guan Ying and others saltyly slandered Chen Ping, saying: "Although Ping is a beautiful husband, he is like a crown of jade ears, but he may not have one of them. I heard that when Ping lived at home, he stole his sister-in-law; if Wei did not tolerate it, he died and returned to Chu; if he did not return to Chu, He died again and returned to the Han. Today, the king respects the officials and orders the guards. The minister heard that Ping received the gold from the generals. Those who have more gold will get good places, and those who have less gold will get evil. In other words, summon Wei Wuzhi.Wuzhi said: "What you say, you can do; what your majesty asks, you can do it. Now there are tails, filial piety, but no benefit to the number of winners and losers. How can your majesty use it? The distance between Chu and Han, the minister enters." A man of ingenuity thinks that his plan is sincere enough to benefit the country, but why should he be suspicious of stealing money from his wife?" The king of Han called Rang Ping and said: "Mr. You, do believers have many hearts?" Ping said: "The minister serves the king of Wei, and the king of Wei can't use his ministers to talk, so he went to the king. King Xiang can't trust people, and what he loves is not the items, but his wife's brother. Qishi can't be used, so Ping goes to Chu. Hearing that the king of Han can use people, he returns to the king. The ministers come naked, and they don't receive gold. The golden tool is here, please seal the official, and you have to ask for the bones." The king of Han thanked him, generously rewarded him, and worshiped him as a lieutenant in the army to protect the generals.The generals dare not reply.

Afterwards, Chu rushed to attack, cut off the corridors of Han, and besieged the king of Han in Xingyang City.For a long time, the king of Han was in trouble, so please cut off the west of Xingyang for peace.King Xiang didn't listen.The king of Han said to Chen Ping, "When the world is full of chaos, when will it be decided?" Chen Ping said: "King Xiang is a man, he respects and loves others, and most of the scholars are honest and courteous. This is not attached. Today, the king is slow and seldom polite, and those who are honest and honest will not come; but the king can spare people as nobles, and most of the scholars who are obstinate, greedy and shameless will return to the Han. Sincerely, let go of the two shortcomings and attack the others. The two chiefs, the whole world refers to it, and it is settled. However, if the king insults others, he will not be able to win honest people. Gu Chu has people who can be chaotic, and the ministers of Yafu, Zhonglimei, Longqi, and Zhou Yin, who are the king's bones, are nothing but Counting people's ears. The king is sincerely able to donate tens of thousands of catties of gold. He acts against him, and his rulers and ministers are suspicious of his heart. Xiang Wang is a man who is afraid of slander, and he must be punished. The Han Dynasty attacked it because of the army, and it is inevitable to break Chu. ” The King of Han thought so, so he gave [-] catties of gold to Chen Ping, and he did whatever he wanted without asking him whether he came in or out.

Since Chen Ping mostly used gold to rebel against the Chu army, he declared that the generals Zhong Limei and others were King Xiang's generals.Xiang Yu really didn't believe Zhong Lizhen and others.King Xiang was suspicious and sent an envoy to Han.The king of Han was too strong, so he lifted it up.Seeing the envoy of Chu, he was shocked in detail and said: "I thought Yafu's envoy was the envoy of King Xiang!"The Chu envoy returned to report to King Xiang.Xiang Wanguo was very suspicious of his father.Yafu wanted to attack the city of Xingyang hastily, but King Xiang didn't believe him and refused to listen.When Yafu heard that King Xiang was suspicious, he said angrily: "The affairs of the world are settled, and the king will do it himself! Please return the bones!" Before he returned to Pengcheng, he died of gangrene and hair on his back.Chen Pingnai went out at night with 2000 women to the east gate of Xingyang City. Chu Yin attacked them, so Chen Pingnai and the King of Han went out at night from the west gate of the city.Then he entered the customs, collected scattered soldiers and returned to the east.

In the next year, the Marquis of Huaiyin broke Qi and established himself as the king of Qi, and made the envoy the king of Han.The King of Han was furious and scolded, and Chen Ping followed the King of Han.The king of Han also realized that he met the envoy of Qi favorably, and made Zhang Zifang's pawn Lixin the king of Qi.Feng Pingyihu Township.With his strange strategy, he killed Chu.He often served Zang Tu, the king of Dingyan, as a lieutenant in the army.

In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Renyou wrote to the king of Chu, Han Xin, against him.Emperor Gao asked the generals, and the generals said: "Urgently send troops to fight the ears." Emperor Gao was silent.Asked Chen Ping, Ping Gu thanked him, and said: "What do you say?"Chen Ping said: "Is there anyone who knows what the letter says?" Said: "No." Said: "Do you believe it?" Said: "I don't know." Chen Ping said: "Your Majesty's elite soldiers, which one is better than Chu? "Shang said: "I can't pass." Ping said: "Your Majesty will use troops to defeat Han Xin?" It is an interesting battle for soldiers to attack, and it is dangerous for your Majesty." Shang said: "Why?" Ping said: "In ancient times, the Son of Heaven patrolled and met the princes. Yunmeng, meeting the princes in Chen. Chen, the western border of Chu, believed that the Son of Heaven wanted to travel, and he would definitely come to the suburbs to meet him without incident. Ye, and your Majesty is a bird, this is a special matter for a strong man." Emperor Gao thought However, an envoy was sent to tell the princes Huichen, "I will travel south to Yunmeng".The above reasons follow suit.Before reaching Chen, King Xin of Chu entered the road in Guojiao.Emperor Gaodi Yugu warriors, when they saw the letter arrived, they tied it up and carried it to the rear car.The letter called out: "The world has been decided, and I will definitely cook it!" Gaodi Gu said to the letter: "If you don't make a sound! On the contrary, it's clear!" The warrior responded.Then he met the princes in Chen and settled the land of Chu.When he returned to Luoyang, he believed that he was the Marquis of Huaiyin, and he made a seal with the hero.

Therefore, with the flat cross-section talisman, it will never be cut off from generation to generation, and it will be the Marquis of the household.Ping Ci said: "This is not the merit of the minister." Shang said: "I used my master's strategy to defeat the enemy. What is not merit?" Ruo Zi can be said to have not betrayed his original principles." Nai then rewarded Wei Wuzhi.In the next year, Han Wangxin, the rebel lieutenant of the guard, will be replaced by Han Wangxin.When he died in Pingcheng, he was besieged by the Huns and had no food for seven days.Emperor Gao used Chen Ping's ingenious plan to encircle Shanyu Yan's family.Since Emperor Gao came out, his plan is secret, and no one in the world can hear about it.

Gaodi passed Quni to the south, went up to the city, saw that the house was very large, and said: "Zhuangzai County! I travel the world, and I only see Luoyang and Shier." The consultant Yushi said: "What is the residence of Quni?" "There were more than [-] households in the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, and many of them died and disappeared. Today, there are [-] households." So he ordered the censor, and made Chen Ping the Marquis of Qu Ni, and he ate everything except what he had eaten before. Household.

Later, Chen Xi and Ying Bu were often attacked by the lieutenant of the guard.Where the six come up with strange tricks, Noir Yiyi, where the six Yifeng.It is a strange plan or quite secret, and the world cannot hear it.

Emperor Gao returned from the rag army, was wounded, and traveled slowly to Chang'an.King Lu Wan of Yan rebelled, and the envoy Fan Kuai attacked him with the generals of the prime minister.As long as it is done, people have short and evil ones.Emperor Gao said angrily: "Kuai saw that I was sick, and I hoped that I would die." Using Chen Pingmou, he summoned Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang, to be under the imperial bed, and said: "Chen Ping hurriedly passed on the news that Bo Dai Kuai will be the general, and he will behead Kuai's head when he reaches the army. !" After receiving the imperial edict, the two of them had not reached the army yet, so they said: "Fan Kuai, the emperor's old man, has done a lot of merit, and is the husband of Lu's younger brother, Lu Wei. He is related and valuable. The emperor wanted to kill him because of his anger. If you do it, you are afraid of regretting it. It is better to be imprisoned and sent to the superior, and the superior will punish himself." Before reaching the army, he used the altar to summon Fan Kuai with festivals.Kui received the imperial edict, that is to say, he took over the chariot and passed it on to Chang'an, and ordered Jiang Houbo to set his troops in Yanfan county.

Hearing the death of Emperor Gao in parallel, Ping feared that the Empress Dowager Lu and Lu Wei would be angry, so he passed it on first.Envoys Zhao Ping and Guan Ying settled in Xingyang.Ping received the imperial edict, Li Fu rushed to the palace, weeping and mourning, because of the funeral.The Empress Dowager Lu mourned and said: "Your labor, you will rest when you go out." Ping was afraid of slander, so he was invited to stay in Weizhong.The queen mother thought that Lang Zhongling said: "Fu teaches filial piety." It is empress Lu's slander that cannot be done.When Fan Kuai arrived, he was pardoned and returned to Jueyi.

In the sixth year of Emperor Xiaohui, Cao Shen of Xiangguo died, with Anguo Hou Wangling as the prime minister on the right, and Chen Ping as the prime minister on the left.

The king's mausoleum, Gupei people, was a county tyrant at the beginning, and his elder brother served the mausoleum when the ancestor was Wei.Ling Shaowen is self-willed and outspoken.And Gao Zu started from Pei and entered Xianyang, and the mausoleum also gathered thousands of people from the party, living in Nanyang, and refused to follow Pei Gong.And when the King of Han also attacked Xiang Ji, the mausoleum belonged to Han with soldiers.Xiang Yu took the mother of the mausoleum and put it in the army. When the envoys from the mausoleum arrived, Dongxiang took the mother of the mausoleum and wanted to recruit the mausoleum.The mother of the mausoleum sent the envoy privately, sobbing and saying: "I speak to the mausoleum for the old concubine, and I am sincerely serving the king of Han. The king of Han, the elder, has no two hearts because of the old concubine. The concubine sends the envoy with death." Then he died with his sword.King Xiang was angry and cooked Lingmu.The mausoleum ruled the world from the king of Han.To be good at Yongchi, Yongchi, the enemy of Emperor Gao, but Lingben had no intention of following Emperor Gao, so he was later granted the title of Marquis of Anguo.

An Guohou was the right prime minister, and when he was two years old, Emperor Xiaohui died.Empress Gao wanted to make Zhu Lu kings, so she asked Wang Ling, and Wang Ling said: "No." Chen Ping was asked, and Chen Ping said, "Yes."Mausoleum was angry, Xie Ji was exempted, but Du Men refused to invite him, and died in seven years.

When the mausoleum was free from the prime minister, the Empress Dowager Lu moved to Ping as the prime minister of the right, and the Marquis of Piyang tried Shi Qi as the prime minister of the left.Prime Minister Zuo died, and he often gave things to the middle.

Eating it also enriches people.After the defeat of the King of Han in the west of Pengcheng, Chu took the Supreme Emperor and Empress Lu as hostages, and gave them to serve Empress Lu.Later, he became a marquis from Poxiang, and was fortunate to be the Empress Dowager Lu.And as a prime minister, in the middle, all officials make decisions because of it.

In the past, Lu Weichang used Chen Ping to conspire against Fan Kuai for Emperor Gao, and said: "Chen Ping is a prime minister, but he does not manage affairs. He drinks alcohol every day and plays with women." Chen Ping heard more and more.When Empress Dowager Lu heard about it, she was delighted in private.Confronting Lv Mai Yu Chen Ping said: "There is a slang saying that 'children and women's mouths are not available'. Gu Jun is like me. I am not afraid of Lu Wei's slander."

Empress Dowager Lu made Zhu Lu kings, and Chen Ping pretended to listen to them.And when Empress Dowager Lu collapsed, Ping and Taiwei Bo conspired to kill Zhu Lu and establish Emperor Xiaowen, which was also Chen Ping's original plan.Examine the food and avoid it.

When Emperor Xiaowen was established, he thought that the Taiwei Bo personally killed the Lu family with soldiers, and he made a lot of contributions; Chen Ping wanted to let Bo honor the throne, but thanked him for his illness.When Emperor Xiaowen was first established, he blamed Ping's illness and asked about it.Ping said: "During the time of Gaozu, Bo's merit was not as good as his minister's. When he punished Lu, his minister's merit was not as good as Bo's. I would like to give Bo the right prime minister." So Emperor Xiaowen took Jianghou Bo as the right prime minister, ranking first; Ping He moved to the left prime minister, ranking second.Give a thousand catties of flat gold, and benefit three thousand households.

In Juqingzhi, Emperor Xiaowen, since he was interested in state affairs, asked Prime Minister Bo at the right, "How much is the prison sentence at the age of one year in the world?" Bo Xie said, "I don't know." Bo thanked me for not knowing, his back was sweating, and he was ashamed.So Shang also asked Prime Minister Zuo Ping.Ping said: "There is a master." Shang said: "Who is the master?" If there is a master, what is the matter with the master?" Ping Xie said: "Master! Your Majesty doesn't know who he is, so he punishes the prime minister. The prime minister will assist the emperor to manage yin and yang, follow the four seasons, and cultivate all things. , outside the town to caress the princes of the four barbarians, and internally to attach to the common people, so that the high officials can be appointed to their respective positions." Emperor Xiaowen praised him as good.The right prime minister was ashamed, so he let Chen Ping say: "You are not alone, teach me to be right!" Chen Ping said with a smile: "You are in his position, and you don't know what he is doing?" And your majesty asked the number of thieves in Chang'an, and the king wanted to be strong. Righteous?" So Jianghou knew that his ability was not as good as Pingyuan's.Juqingzhi, Jiang Hou thanked him for his illness, please excuse him, and Chen Ping was appointed as a prime minister.

In the second year of Emperor Xiaowen, Prime Minister Chen Ping died and was posthumously named Marquis Xian.Zi Gonghou buys Daihou.He died in the second year, and his son Jianhou returned to Daihou. He died in 23 years, son He Daihou. In the 23rd year, He Zuo took a wife, abandoned the city, and eliminated the country.

At the beginning, Chen Ping said: "I have many schemes, which are forbidden by Taoism. My life will be abolished, and it is over, and I will never be able to recover. It is also because of my many evils." Then the great-grandson Chen Zhang took Wei's relatives and nobles , I wish to continue the Chen family, but I will not.

Tai Shigong said: When Prime Minister Chen was young, he was good at the skills of the Yellow Emperor and Laozi.When Fang Qi cut the meat and put it on the zu, his intention was already far away.Tilting and disturbing between Chu and Wei, the death returned to Emperor Gao.Often come up with strange tricks to save the troubles of disputes and revive the country's troubles.In the time of Empress Lu, many things happened, but Ping escaped himself, settled the ancestral temple, ended up with honor, and was called a virtuous prime minister.Who can do this without knowledge?
