Personage introduction

Han Anguo: long Ru, born in Chengan County of Liang state (now Minquan County of Shangqiu City), later became a native of Suiyang, the capital of Liang state (now Suiyang District of Shangqiu City). He used to work under Liu Wu, the younger brother of emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and was trusted by the king. Later, he was arrested and held in Mondi prison. The king of Liang tried his best to get him released. Tian Jia, a jailer, thought that Han Anguo was losing power and often abused him. An Guo said angrily: "you see me as the ashes that have put out the fire. Can't the ashes revive? "Tian Jia said with a smile," if the ashes revive, I'll piss it out! "Han Anguo was so angry that he couldn't speak. Before long, the Empress Dowager was concerned about Han Anguo's imprisonment. It turned out that Han Anguo had tried to mediate the conflict between King Jing and King Liang, so that the estranged brothers could be reconciled. For this reason, the Empress Dowager attached great importance to Han Anguo and personally issued an imperial edict to King Liang to use him. Han Anguo was released and became the "internal history" of Liang Xiaowang. Tian Jia, the warder, was afraid of his revenge and fled all night. When Han Angou heard that the jailer was fleeing, he deliberately threatened that if Tian Jiaru didn't come back soon, he would kill his family. Tian Jia had to come back and plead with Han Anguo. Han an Guo satirized him: "now that it's back, you can pee --" Tian Jia was so scared that he kowtowed and begged for mercy. "Get up. People like you don't deserve my revenge! "Han an Guo's face was not angry, and he didn't mean to punish Tian Jia. Tian Jia was surprised and even more embarrassed. After being humiliated, Han Anguo shows his tolerance of ignoring villains. He not only let Tian Jia go, but also treated him well. Tian Jia also played for Han Anguo.
