Life of the characters

Buy an official's name

Cui lie, whose name is Wei Kao, was born in Youzhou. His grandfather Cui he, his father Cui pan, and his younger brother Cui Shi were well-known. Therefore, he successively held the posts of Taishou, Jiuqing (Tingwei) and so on. In the second year of Zhongping (185), Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, sold his official position as a marquis, and the three generals (situ, Sikong, Taiwei) were priced at 10 million yuan. Cui lie, who was then Tingwei, bought the post of situ at a cost of only five million yuan through Fu Mucheng, wife of Liu Hong, emperor of the Han Dynasty. On the day of official worship, Liu Hong personally attended the gathering of officials. Liu Hong turned back to his favorite minister and said, "I regret that I didn't insist. I could have sold it for 10 million.". Mrs. Cheng replied, "Cui Gong is a famous person in Jizhou! At first, I was not the one who was willing to buy the official, but your majesty didn't know my kindness? " Since then, Cui lie's reputation has declined. After a long time, Cui lie was also upset. One day, he calmly asked his son Cui Jun, "I'm in the third place. How do people outside talk about me now?" Cui Jun replied: "my father had a good reputation when he was young, and he has been appointed to the throne. Everyone said that you should be an official. Now that you have become a situ, people all over the world are disappointed with you." Cui lie asked: "why Cui Jun replied, "all the people who talk about you dislike your stink." Cui lie is so angry that he raises his cane to beat Cui Jun. Cui Jun was the general of Huben Zhonglang at that time. He was dressed in military uniform and ran away in a panic. Cui lie ran after him and said, "dead soldiers! Is this a filial son? " Cui Jun turned back and said, "Shun treats his father with a small stick and a big stick. It's not unfilial." Cui lie was ashamed.

Ups and downs of official life

At that time, there was a rebellion led by Han Sui and others in Liangzhou, which was deeply worried by the imperial court. Situ cuilie proposed to abandon Liangzhou. Liu Hong ordered all officials to discuss it at the court meeting. Yilang and Fu Xie came out to refute it. In the end, cuilie's proposal was rejected. In April 187, situ cuilie was changed to be a Taiwei. In November of the same year, Cui lie was removed from his post and Cao song, the eldest Minister of agriculture, succeeded him.

Old age experience

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), the rebellion of Shichang Shi broke out. Shichang Shi killed general He Jin and took Liu Bian, the young emperor of Han Dynasty, and Xiao Pingjin, the king of Chen Liu. Seeing that there was no way to go, he threw himself into the water and killed himself. The warlord Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou took the lead in finding Liu Bian and Liu Xie. The officials of Gongqing met him in Beimang. Cui lie was the leader, and Dong Zhuo led thousands of cavalry troops. Cui lie scolded Dong Zhuo To avoid, Dong Zhuo scolded Cui lie and said, "I come 300 Li day and night to talk about avoiding. Can't I cut off your head?" In the first year of Chuping (190), Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu led the army to attack Dong Zhuo. Cui Jun was then the prefect of Xihe County in Bingzhou, and actively participated in it. Dong Zhuo learned that Cui lie was arrested and imprisoned in youfufeng County prison. In 1922, Dong Zhuo was killed. Cui lie is released from prison, and he is the captain of baichengmen. In June of the same year, the Liangzhou army led by Li Xi and Guo Si conquered Chang'an city. Cui lie, Taichang Zhongfu, Lu Xu, dahonglu zhouhuan, and Wang Qi, the commander of Yueqi, died for the country.

Historical evaluation

The book of the later Han Dynasty: "it has a duplicate name in beizhou." Mrs. Cheng: "Cui Gong, a famous scholar in Jizhou." Cui Jun: "you are seldom called in English. You have been appointed as a minister. It's not that you should be called Sangong." Ge Hong: "those who are straight go straight without division, and those who are empty will look at the way and close the trail. He who has more goods has higher official rank, and he who has less money has lower position. Therefore, Cui lie had a bad taste for the money accumulated in Dongyuan. The superior is the inferior, the monarch is the minister. " Yu Jiaxi: "if you inherit his family's learning, you can also use Zuozhuan to teach. If you share the same recipe with Fu Zishen, then it was not shallow in the spring and Autumn period. He who knows the famous people in Jizhou is not the one who gets the empty voice. After that, he died, and it was difficult for him to die. "

Textual research on native place

According to fan Shu's biography of Cui, his native place is Anping, Zhuo County, which is under the jurisdiction of Youzhou. In fact, according to the annals of prefectures, there is no Anping County in Zhuo county. Anping County belongs to the state of Anping in Jizhou. In the biography of Cui lie, Mrs. Cheng called Cui lie "a famous person in Jizhou". Obviously, Anping County belongs to the state of Anping in Jizhou, not Zhuo County in Youzhou. according to the changes of "Yue Cheng Guo" and "Anping Guo" in the model book biography of eight Xiaoming kings, it can be seen that Anping Guo was founded in 122 ad.
