Chapter 157 Fu Jian has Wang Meng as Liu Bei has Kong Ming
[Wang Meng, courtesy name Jinglue, was born in Juxian County, Beihai County, Eastern Jin Dynasty, and later moved to Wei County. He was a famous politician and military strategist during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and served as an official in the former Qin Dynasty to prime minister and general. In the 11th year of Jianyuan (375)
Died in June at the age of 51.】
[On his deathbed, Wang Meng was still worried about the power of the powerful chiefs of various ethnic groups within the former Qin Dynasty. Taking the Eastern Jin Dynasty as the location of Zhengshuo, he advised Fu Jian not to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but was not adopted, and eventually the defeat of Feishui occurred. 】
[Growing up in troubled times, wanting to end these troubled times may be the long-cherished wish of Wang Meng, a famous prime minister throughout the ages. 】
[Beginning in AD 325, this year, Wang Meng was born into a poor family in Qingzhou.
Not long ago, 30,000 surrendered soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were buried alive here.
The Han people under the foreign leader finally managed to survive Shi Le, but what awaited them was even more cruel and bloodthirsty.
On their own land, the Han people were like sheep in a pen, being slaughtered by others. What dignity and glory were all nonsense in the era of chaos, and living was already the greatest luxury of the Han people.
"It's better to be a peace dog than a person in troubled times", I'm afraid it's this era.]
[My parents carried young Wang Meng all the way to the Central Plains to beg for food. After they settled down, they made a living by weaving dustpans.
The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family, and Wang Meng's tender little hands are often dripping with blood from being cut by bamboo strips.
But he was very smart and slowly started a dustpan business.
Wang Meng can walk hundreds of miles a day while carrying a dustpan and rounding his legs. Although it is hard work, he has developed a good physique.]
[Books of the Jin Dynasty say that Wang Meng had a unique personality. He looked down on the wanderers in the countryside and did not interact with them. He just kept to himself.
Those frivolous young people laughed at him for not being gregarious, but Wang Meng ignored them.
After his parents died of illness, Wang Meng, who was alone, sold dustpans further away. He read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and finally came to live in seclusion at the foot of Mount Hua to continue to hone himself.]
[After decades of chaos, the northern land was in ruins. Hou Fuhong established the former Qin Dynasty, divided half of the northern country from the former Yan Dynasty, and ruled across the river from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Meng was a citizen of the former Qin Dynasty. 】
[In addition to making a living, Wang Meng kept reading and studied hard, especially the art of war and strategy. Influenced by culture, Wang Meng became dignified and distinguished when he grew up.
Xu Tong, who had the skill of understanding people, wanted to recruit Wang Meng as a meritorious officer, but Wang Meng did not agree and continued to live in seclusion, waiting for the Ming Dynasty.】
[In 354 AD, Huan Wen made a northern expedition to the former Qin Dynasty and stationed his troops in Bashang. The people in Guanzhong lined the streets to welcome him.
After Wang Meng heard about it, he dressed in sackcloth and went to Jin camp to pay a visit in person.
Huan Wen asked about the situation in the world, and Wang Meng answered while picking at lice, analyzing the general situation of the world in an orderly manner.
This is how "talking about lice" was born.
Huan Wen couldn't help but secretly confessed that he was surprised, and asked his general Wang Meng why he was ordered by the emperor to rescue Guanzhong, but there were no heroes in Guanzhong who came to him?
Wang Meng saw through Huan Wen's plan to preserve the enemy's self-esteem, and said directly: "Chang'an City is very close, but you don't capture it. People don't know your plan, so they don't come to seek refuge."
Huan Wen was speechless and could only praise: "No one in Jiangdong can compare with you." So he wanted to retain Wang Meng.
However, Wang Meng refused because the Eastern Jin Dynasty only valued noble families and Huan Wen would usurp him.
Later, Huan Wen had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return due to lack of food and grass.]
[In the second year, Fu Sheng, the one-eyed tyrant of the former Qin Dynasty, succeeded to the throne.
He killed people like crazy, causing panic throughout the country, and even pushed the country to the brink of life and death.
In order to protect himself and the country, Fu Jian decided to launch a coup, and Lu Polou recommended Wang Meng to Fu Jian.
The two kings hit it off immediately and talked all night long.
Fu Jian even compared his victory over Wang Meng to Liu Bei's victory over Zhuge Liang.]
"Kong Ming has not been counted yet, but he is already at least one of the top three names in history." Guan Yu looked at the screen, feeling very regretful in his heart: "I regret not listening to Kong Ming's words, which led to the defeat of Jingzhou. I hope that after returning this time,
You can admit your mistake to him face to face."
"Liu Bei takes Kong Ming like a fish in water!"
"How I wish Wang Meng could come with me! If there are two Wang Meng to assist us three brothers, wouldn't it be possible for heaven and earth to be omnipotent?" Ran Min couldn't help but start to have sex.
[In 357 AD, the atrocities committed by the tyrant Fu Sheng had become an outrage.
Fu Jian then united with Fu Fa, killed Fu Sheng in one fell swoop, and established himself as the King of Qin, with the reign name Yongxing.
Although the tyrant was eliminated at that time, the various places were already in chaos, with traitors and sycophants in power, and illegal acts were frequent, especially in Shiping County. In order to eliminate evil spirits and clarify the world, Fu Jian appointed Wang Meng as the magistrate of Shiping County to rectify the administration of officials.
When Wang Meng took office, he launched a thunderous attack and killed several people who had embezzled money and violated the law. The thieves were afraid and jointly filed a petition.
Fu Jian wanted to focus on moral transformation, so he blamed Wang Meng for being too harsh. From this, it can be seen that Fu Jian was indeed too kind, and it was not surprising that he was able to pardon Murong Chui under the golden sword trick.
】
"Murong Chui. I also know that your Majesty did not kill Murong Chui because he did not want to chill the hearts of those who surrendered." Wang Meng in the beam of light said with some helplessness and heartache: "But it is impossible for Murong Chui to surrender sincerely.
Your Majesty’s, because he is the prince of the former Yan! He took refuge with your Majesty just to take advantage of the opportunity to restore the country!”
It's a pity that Fu Jian can't hear it for the time being.
And even if Fu Jian could hear it, he would not follow Wang Meng's suggestion. Fu Jian was the emperor of the former Qin Dynasty, and he and Wang Meng considered the problem from different perspectives.
[Fu Jian questioned Wang Meng, but Wang Meng retorted on the grounds that heavy codes were used in troubled times. Fu Jian sighed and appreciated, and compared Wang Meng to Guan Zhong and Zichan.
Because of Wang Meng's extraordinary talents, he was soon promoted five levels in a row, and was appointed as Shangshu Zuopushe, Sili Xiaowei, etc. He was deeply jealous of former Qin officials and relatives outside the clan.
Veteran general Fan Shi attacked Wang Meng and was executed by Fu Jian; Qiu Teng and Xi Bao slandered Wang Meng and were demoted by Fu Jian.
In the political struggle, Wang Meng not only did not lose power, but because of Fu Jian's trust, he was able to become an official.】
[After that, Wang Meng targeted the lawless relatives of the Queen Mother and executed them with thunderbolts. At the same time, he teamed up with Deng Qiang and others to execute more than 20 lawless dignitaries in the government and the public, eradicating the evil and evil, and restoring the government's power.
.
Fu Jian lamented: "Today we know that there is law in the world and the emperor is noble."]
[While punishing evildoers, Wang Meng also recommended people based on their talents, such as recommending Fu Rong, Ren Qun, Fang Mo, Hao Lue and others for re-appointment.
Wang Meng was fair and decisive in his political affairs. During his tenure, the former Qin Dynasty was peaceful and peaceful, and the people were self-sufficient. Wang Meng himself was deeply loved by the people of Guanzhong.
A few years later, Wang Zhen'e led his troops to Guanzhong. When the people heard that Wang Zhen'e was Wang Meng's grandson, they stopped resisting and lined the streets to welcome the Jin army. They offered meat to greet the Jin army.
With the joint efforts of Fu Jian and Wang Meng, the national power of the former Qin Dynasty became stronger and stronger, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent unification of the north. It can be seen that having a wise ruler and talented leadership plays a great role in the country.
