Chapter 156 The first person to outdo Zhuge, Wang Meng!
[After the death of the great ancestor Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty immediately entered the regency period of Empress Lu. This period was the darkest moment of the Han Dynasty. Many Han Dynasty heroes died tragically at the hands of Empress Lu, and the power of the Liu clan was also weakened.
After the death of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu made Prince Liu Gong the emperor.
Liu Gong was just a baby at that time, so Empress Lu was actually in charge of the government.]
[In order to consolidate her position, Empress Lu wanted to ennoble her natal relatives as princes, so she asked the ministers for their opinions.
Right Prime Minister Wang Ling objected on the spot and insisted on not agreeing to the enfeoffment.
Chen Ping was appointed Prime Minister Zuo. He knew that Empress Lu wanted to use this matter to eradicate dissidents, and that Empress Lu now held the power of the court and should not conflict with her, so he agreed to the matter.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Wang Ling angrily criticized Chen Ping, but Chen Ping said nothing.
Because Chen Ping knew that in the current situation, he needed to preserve his strength and carry out a long-term struggle, and it was not appropriate to confront the opponent head-on when he was strong.
Sure enough, soon after, Empress Lu removed Wang Ling's power as prime minister on the pretext of supporting Wang Ling as the young emperor's teacher.】
[After Wang Ling was dismissed from office, Chen Ping promoted him to be the Prime Minister of the Right, while Empress Lu's cronies appointed him to be the Prime Minister of the Left. During the appointment, Chen Ping pretended to be lazy and did not care about political affairs. He kept a low profile and accumulated strength, which reduced Empress Lu's concerns. At the same time,
Chen Ping is secretly protecting the descendants of Liu and waiting for the opportunity.]
[In 180 BC, Queen Lu was seriously ill. When she was dying, she entrusted her power to her tribesmen Lu Lu and Lu Chan, asking them to seal the palace gates after her death and not announce the funeral secretly, so as not to attract the Liu family to surround them all.
However, there were too many informants loyal to Liu around Queen Lu. The news of Queen Lu's death immediately reached the ears of Emperor Gaozu's grandson Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang. He immediately contacted King Liu Xiang of Qi and asked him to lead his army to King Qin of Beijing immediately. The war between the two sides was about to begin.
.]
[Lü Chan learned that King Liu Xiang of Qi was leading an army to help the king, so he sent General Guan Ying to lead his troops to resist.
However, Guan Ying also regarded himself as a Han official and was unwilling to lead troops to "quell the rebellion". He chose to stand still and secretly contacted the King of Qi, warning him to contact other princes as soon as possible to wipe out Lu's party.
[In the palace, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo learned that Lu Chan was going to lead an army to rebel and usurp the country with Liu's surname, so they decided to take a preemptive strike and quickly contacted Li Ji, the son of Li Shang, because Li Ji and Lu Lu were good friends, and Li Ji
He persuaded Lu Lu not to support himself with troops in Chang'an City, which would be detrimental to himself.
Lu Chan followed his advice and handed over the military power to Zhou Bo. After Zhou Bo got the military talisman, he immediately took over the Northern Army camp. In this way, Zhou Bo led the Northern Army and King Qi led the army to King Qin. Both Lu family members were killed.
After his death, Lu's power was completely wiped out.
In order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics from happening again, everyone decided to make the acting king Liu Heng the emperor, who was Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. After that, the two emperors Wen and Jing jointly created the "Government of Wen and Jing".]
"With the use of the Six Wonders, the princes all obeyed the Han. Chen Ping's abilities are unparalleled!" Yang Guang gave Chen Ping a big thumbs up.
Liu Xiu nodded and said: "The Lu family's affairs are based on peace, and the ancestral temple will be settled and the country will be settled."
"To be honest, there seem to be very few people in history who can achieve such a level of peace and stability for the country, right?"
of.
Li Shimin commented: "Throughout Chen Ping's life, although he lacked magnanimity and openness in his actions, he could always turn the situation around at critical moments. Such a counselor and capable minister ranks fifth among the top ten famous ministers. I think there is no problem."
[Sima Qian spoke highly of Chen Ping's achievements in "Historical Records Taishi Gong's Preface".
He said that Chen Ping "used the Six Wonders, and all the princes obeyed the Han Dynasty; for the Lu family's affairs, Ping was the original plan, and the ancestral temple was finally settled and the country was settled."
Indeed, throughout Chen Ping's life, whether he was assisting Liu Bang to achieve his imperial career, or serving as prime minister in the three dynasties of Emperor Hui, Empress Lu, and Emperor Wen, he was able to assess the situation and skillfully control the whirlpool of extremely complex and fierce social and political contradictions.
All kinds of contradictions.
"Rescuing the troubles of disputes and reviving the country's troubles." Chen Ping ranks fifth among the top ten famous ministers in history, and he deserves his name.】
After watching Chen Ping's inventory video, many people had a sudden feeling.
"It turns out that Chen Ping is not as miserable as the scholars said!"
"Such a capable minister who was loyal to Liu Bang and eventually became a member of the Han Dynasty was scolded to a pulp by those literati? How ridiculous!"
"Chen Ping is a true villain with great talent. He is much better than those eloquent hypocrites!"
"I just don't want to live a mediocre life, I just want to climb to the top of the mountain and see the scenery." In the vast history, if someone can say a fair word for himself, Chen Ping feels that all this: "It's worth it!"
After a short break, the video is about to move on to the next round of reviewers.
People in various parallel dimensions couldn't help but start talking because they didn't know who the remaining three were.
"I think there should be Zhuge Liang, right? That is the embodiment of wisdom!"
"Anyway, Li Si and Xiao He should be there. As for the last two, I guess they are Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang?"
"Cao Cao? Forget it. Although I have the same hobbies as him, he has not made any great contributions to the Han Dynasty, so he cannot be considered famous."
"I think Wang Yangming should have a place. He is the first person in the Ming Dynasty and a half-saint!"
"It is true that Wang Yangming is a semi-sage, but he is not a prime minister or a prime minister!"
"Oh what a pity, what a pity."
"Where's Liu Bowen?"
"Where's Zhao Pu?"
"."
Amid everyone's discussion, the next video began to play slowly,
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: taking stock of the top ten famous figures in history!]
[Producer: Su Qian]
[The fourth place among the top ten famous figures in history: the first person to surpass Zhuge, the former Qin Prime Minister, Wang Meng!]
Fang Xuanling: "He is fierce and handsome, knowledgeable and good at military affairs, cautious and perseverant, ambitious and far-sighted, and does not care about small things."
Emperor Kangxi Xuan Ye said: "Wang Meng served Qin with all his loyalty and wisdom. Even when he was about to die, he still did good deeds and hoped that the king of Qin would follow the former saint. It is appropriate for his master to be a good family member and to be encouraged by others.
.”
Ran Min rubbed his hands, looked at the screen happily, and said: "Haha! It's finally Wang Meng's turn! He ranks fourth among the top ten famous people in history!! I'm very curious about how powerful he is?!"
[He soared into the sky and crossed six states. Before his death, the sky was already angry. 】
[How can I tolerate Wang Meng and be willing to let the fish and sheep eat nothing?]
With the appearance of "Ode to History Part 2·Wang Meng·Part 2", a handsome, tall and majestic middle-aged man appeared in the picture.
[In the history and culture of Shouguang (the reign name of Fu Sheng, the former Qin regime king of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, for a total of 3 years. Fu Jian came to the throne in June of the third year of Shouguang, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to the first year of Yongxing), Wang Meng is a very worthy of study.
One of the characters.
Later generations of history have greatly praised his talents and moral character, and many people often compare him with Zhuge Liang.
However, people today don't know much about such a "fierce man". Today we are going to take stock of how fierce this fierce man, who is called "the first person to surpass Zhuge", is!]
