Chapter 151 A poor man with great ambitions

[Chen Ping, a native of Maoxiang, Yangwuhu, was a founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. He was called Prime Minister Chen in "Historical Records".

When he was young, he loved to read and had great ambitions. He once divided meat for the villagers, which was evenly divided. His elders praised him, and he said with emotion: "If you make Ping De slaughter the world, you can do it with meat like this!"]

[In any turbulent era of war, ordinary people are often the hardest working group.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the people experienced the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, followed by turbulent uprisings, which made the people's lives even more difficult.

Chen Ping, who was born in poverty, is one of these people who has suffered a hard life.]

[Sima Qian explained in the opening chapter of "The Family of Prime Minister Chen": "Prime Minister Chen Ping is from the village of Maoxiang in Yangwuhu. When he was young, his family was poor and he was fond of studying.", "When there is a funeral in the city, if you are poor, you should attend the funeral first and last."

Give it up."

But the poor life did not bury Chen Ping's talent. His legend began from poverty.】

"Yeah, it's understandable that poor people want to get ahead and resort to extreme methods, right?"

"People are poor but ambitious. Chen Ping was able to grow from an ordinary citizen to the prime minister of a country. His experience is indeed very legendary."

"Yes, I'm afraid they are only inferior to Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. They both became the founding emperors."

"Those who are not envious should read more books."

"I'm not destined to be a famous prime minister or emperor, but there is still a chance to become a powerful general!"

[Chen Ping is not only good at studying, but also tall and burly, with a handsome face and a handsome yuppie.

In order for Chen Ping to travel around to study, his brother farmed the fields to support the family. Neighbors were curious about how Chen Ping grew up to be strong and tall in a poor family.

Thirty acres of land, his brother was alone, but he let Chen Ping go out to make friends and live in poverty.

Naturally, my sister-in-law couldn't stand Chen Ping, a man who didn't do anything serious and talked loudly every day.

Therefore, when others ask Chen Ping, "Your family has no money, how come you have such thin skin and tender flesh?"

However, her sister-in-law sneered: "You can also eat chaff with kernels. Having an uncle like this is worse than not having one." This means, "You grew up like this after eating chaff. Having such a brother-in-law is better than not having one at all."

In the eyes of his sister-in-law, Chen Ping was a lazy gangster who had nothing to do. However, after hearing what his wife said, Chen Ping's brother actually divorced her.

Although Sima Qian did not explain in detail why brother Chen Ping's move was so extreme, it can be seen from this that in the eyes of Chen Ping's brother, Chen Ping is not a person who has lived in ravines for a long time. Facts have proved that brother Chen Ping's vision is indeed very sharp.



[When Chen Ping reached the age where he could marry, because his family was poor, the daughters of rich families looked down on him, and the daughters of poor families could not get into Chen Ping's eyes. After such a long delay, he did not get married.

There was a rich man named Zhang Fu in the village. His granddaughter had been married five times, but all the husbands died, so no one dared to marry her.

During the funeral of a neighbor, Zhang Fu saw Chen Ping tall and burly, and saw a wheel of a wealthy man walking near Chen Ping's house, so he decided to marry his granddaughter to Chen Ping. Zhang Fu's family objected to his granddaughter marrying Chen Ping because of Chen Ping's

The Ping family is extremely poor.]

[However, Zhang Fu admired Chen Ping very much and said, "People are inherently beautiful like Chen Ping, but they grow up poor and humble." He lent money to Chen Ping to buy a banquet and marry his granddaughter to Chen Ping.

If it can be seen from the actions of Chen Ping's brother and Zhang Fu, Chen Ping is somewhat different.

So presiding over the cutting of flesh during the sacrificial ceremony to the earth god proves Chen Ping's long-term ambition.

Chen Ping compared dividing the sacrificial meat with dividing the world equally, which shows that he has the world in his heart and has far-reaching ambitions.

His sigh was like Chen She sighing on the mountain, "Oh, the sparrows know the ambitions of the swans!", or like Xiang Yu said when he saw Qin Shihuang's parade convoy, "This can be replaced!" It can be seen that

Chen Ping has lofty ambitions hidden in his heart.]

[The life of poverty and the cold looks from his sister-in-law and outsiders did not dampen Chen Ping's ambition.

Sima Qian commented that "when Fang Qi cut the flesh and put it on the altar, his intention was far away."

Chen Ping has always been in a state of preparation. All he needs is the opportunity given to him by that era.

It is said that times create heroes. Once Chen Ping’s intelligence and resourcefulness meet the right time and the right people, he can soar into the sky and create his own world!]

"Yes, he met me, he met the right person!" Liu Bang said very proudly.

Chen Ping showed a nostalgic look and recalled the first time he met Liu Bang.

[After the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Chen Sheng proclaimed himself King of Zhang Chu and sent General Zhou Shi to attack Wei.

Wei Jiu, the old prince of Wei State and one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, was appointed King Jiu of Wei. King Jiu of Wei led the rebel army of Wei to fight the Qin army in the Linji area.]

[Since Chen Ping's family was relatively close to the Linji area, he thanked his brother and joined a group of young people who were equally ambitious and passionate to join Wei Wang Jiu.

Wei Wang Jiu appointed Chen Ping as his servant, but Chen Ping once offered advice to Wei Wang Jiu, but Wei Wang Jiu did not listen.

In addition, some of Wei Wang Jiu's men made slanderous remarks to frame Chen Ping, so Chen Ping had no choice but to escape.】

[After a long time, Xiang Yu has become the leader of the princes.

When Xiang Yu led the coalition of princes to march into Qin, Chen Ping found an opportunity to join Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.]

[After Xiang Yu divided the princes, he returned to his capital, Pengcheng.

Soon, Chen Yu from Zhao and Tian Rong from Qi refused to listen to Xiang Yu's orders, so Xiang Yu decided to teach Tian Rong a lesson first.

Liu Bang took the opportunity to pacify the Three Qin Dynasties and coerced many princes to attack Xiang Yu's capital Pengcheng.

King Sima Yan of Yin whom Xiang Yu entrusted to himself betrayed him, so Xiang Yu named Chen Ping Lord Xinwu and asked him to lead the troops of former Wei King Jiu to attack King Sima Yan of Yin.

Chen Ping defeated Sima Yan, King of Yin, and returned in triumph. King Xiang sent Xiang Han to appoint Chen Ping as the captain, and awarded him twenty overflows of gold.]

[Later, because Liu Bang conquered Yin City, King Xiang was furious and wanted to kill the general who had attacked Yin City (that is, Chen Ping).

Chen Ping was afraid of being killed, so he sent people to return the seal and gold to King Xiang, and fled with his sword.]

[When Chen Ping was fleeing across the river, the boatman saw that he was handsome and tall, and suspected that he was a fleeing general. He should have a beautiful jade weapon in his waist, so he wanted to seek wealth and kill him.

After Chen Ping realized the danger, although he was afraid, he quickly came up with a solution.

I saw Chen Ping unbuttoning his clothes, then going to help the boatman row the boat with his upper body naked.

Seeing that Chen Ping had nothing, the boatman gave up the idea of ​​killing people and robbing money, and Chen Ping crossed the Yellow River safely.]

"Perceptive, bold and careful! You are worthy of Chen Ping, who made six surprise plans to determine the country!"

"Chen Ping is not only quick-witted, but also knows how to advance and retreat. I don't understand what those who look down on him think."

"That's right! It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat if it can catch mice! Let me ask, how much contribution have those people who look down on Chen Ping made to the country and the people?"

"If Emperor Gaozu didn't have Chen Ping, I'm afraid he would have died countless times. Let me tell you, Zhang Liang's achievements in seeking saints would not be as good as Chen Ping's, right?"

"."

From now on, please call me Wang Jingjing Chongyang [dog head saves life].
