Life of the characters
Seclusion
In 325, Wang Meng was born in Ju county, Beihai County, Qingzhou (now Shouguang City, Shandong Province). Just two years before he was born, Qingzhou was conquered by the post Zhao regime established by shile, and 30000 people died in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When Wang Meng was born, the post Zhao regime had swept the Central Plains, and the soldiers were heading south, confronting jiahuaishui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When he was young, Wang Meng moved with his family and came to Weijun (now Weixian County, Hebei Province) to settle down.
Wang Meng's family was very poor when he was young. In order to support his family, Wang Meng sold dustpans at a young age. Once, when Wang Mengyuan went to Luoyang to sell goods, he met a man who wanted to pay a high price for a dustpan. The man said he didn't have any money with him, so he asked Wang Meng to come home with him to get the money. Wang Meng followed the man. As a result, he went deep into the mountain and was brought to an old man with white hair and surrounded by waiters. Wang Meng bowed to the old man, and the old man quickly said, "prince, how can you worship me?" So the old man gave Wang Meng ten times the regular price to buy the dustpan and sent someone to see him off. When Wang Meng went out of the mountain and looked back, he recognized that it was Songshan mountain.
Although young Wang Meng is on the muddy road, he has been discovered by people of insight with unique insight. The old man was probably a hermit who paid attention to visiting and helping the world and had foresight, just like Huang Shigong and other people Zhang Liang met in those years.
In the chaos of war, Wang Meng watched the changes of the situation, kept on studying, assiduously learned all kinds of knowledge, especially the knowledge of military science. Gradually grow up, be cautious and solemn, deep and resolute, ambitious, bearing extraordinary. After a trip to Yecheng, the capital of Zhao state (now Linzhang County, Hebei Province), he was despised by high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but Xu Tong, who had "learned from others", was "surprised to see him". Xu Tong called him as a meritorious official in the later Zhao Dynasty. Wang Meng fled but did not respond. He lived in seclusion in Huashan Mountain, expecting the appearance of Mingzhu and waiting for the change of the situation.
Meet Huan Wen
In the years after Wang Meng was 25 years old, the war in the North intensified and the political situation changed rapidly. In the fifth year of Yonghe (349) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shi Hu, the tyrant of the later Zhao Dynasty, finally died, and his descendants immediately launched a fierce struggle for the throne. In Guanzhong and other places, the powerful people of all ethnic groups were under separate regimes one after another, and there were many kings and emperors in the north. In this process, Fu Hong, the leader of Di nationality, came to the fore.
In the 10th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (354), the general of Jingzhou town in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen, defeated Fu Jian in the Northern Expedition and stationed in Bashang (now Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). Wang Meng heard the news, wearing a linen jacket, went to Huanwen camp to see him. Huan Wen asked Wang Meng to talk about his views on the current situation. In public, Wang Meng talked about the world's major events and talked about them as if there were no one else. Seeing this, Huan Wen said to himself that he was surprised. He blurted out: "I am ordered by the emperor to command 100000 elite soldiers to fight against the rebels and kill the common people. But no one from Guanzhong came to comfort me. What's the reason for that?" Wang Meng replied bluntly, "you have traveled thousands of miles to the north. Chang'an city is very close to you, but you don't cross the Ba River to take it down. People can't understand your mind, so they won't come." Huan Wen's mind is to recover Guanzhong by himself, only to gain a false name, but the territory will fall to the imperial court. Instead of wasting strength and losing the advantage of competing with the imperial court, it is better to retain the enemy's self-respect. Wang Meng's secret words touched his heart, and he was silent for a long time. After a long time, Huan Wen raised his head and said slowly, "no one in Jiangdong can match your ability!"
Huan Wen originally planned to raise military supplies on the spot after the wheat was ripe. Unexpectedly, the Qin army cut off all the wheat seedlings and built a strong wall. Seeing that the army was short of food and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, he had to withdraw. Before he left, he gave Wang Menghua a good horse and a good chariot, and he also gave him a high-ranking official position as a protector. He asked Wang Meng to go south together. Wang Meng thought that it was difficult for him to do anything in the imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty occupied by the gentry; following Huan Wen was tantamount to helping him to usurp the Jin Dynasty, which was bound to tarnish the name of the Qing Dynasty. He went back to Huashan to consult his teacher, who also expressed his opposition to going south. So he continued to study in seclusion.
Out of the mountain
In 355, the second year of Huanwen's withdrawal, Fu Jian, the former Qin emperor, died. Fu Sheng, who succeeded to the throne, was cruel and cruel. He used killing and maltreating people as a child's play. "All the officials have to protect themselves for one day, as if they had lived for ten years." after the defeat, Shi Hu, the emperor of Zhao, was killed. The destruction of the former Qin Dynasty is just around the corner. The whole nation is in a panic. Fu Jian, Fu Jian's nephew, is even more worried. Later, he decided to get rid of Fu Sheng.
Fu Jian was an outstanding statesman in the period of Sixteen States. Although he was a member of the di nationality, he admired the advanced culture of the Han nationality. When he was young, he worshipped Han scholars as teachers and devoted himself to studying Classics and history books. He soon became a rare leader among the nobles of the di nationality. When Fu Jian asked Lu Po Lou for advice, Lu Po Lou recommended Wang Meng. Fu Jian sent LV Po Lou to ask Wang Meng to leave the mountain. As soon as Fu Jian and Wang Meng met each other, they became close friends in their lives. When they talked about the rise and fall of great events, Fu Jian felt like a fish in water when Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang. So Wang Meng stayed with Fu Jian and gave him advice. In 357, Fu Jian killed Fu Sheng and his accomplices at one stroke. He became the emperor of the Qin Dynasty and changed his name to Yongxing. He took Wang Meng as the Minister of Zhongshu and took charge of military and state secrets.
Shiping County (now Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province) is the northwest gateway of the capital, and its position is extremely important. But for a long time, there was a lot of banditry, so Fu Jian sent Wang Meng to be the magistrate of Shiping County. At the beginning of Wang Meng's departure, he was severely punished in accordance with the law, banned violence and eradicated traitors. There was a deep-rooted traitor who committed many evils. Wang Meng whipped him to death in public. The gang of evil officials coaxed and sued. The boss arrested Wang Meng and escorted him to Chang'an. After hearing the news, Fu Jian personally asked Wang Meng, "for the body of government, virtue comes first. How cruel it is that you killed so many people soon after you took office Wang mengping replied quietly: "I have heard of such a truth: the rule of a stable country can use ceremony, and the rule of a chaotic country must use ceremony. Your majesty does not regard me as incompetent, but let me be the chief officer of a place that is difficult to rule. I am determined to eradicate the fierce and crafty people for Mingjun. Just killed a traitor, there are thousands of guys have not yet been ambushed. If your majesty punishes me because I can't get rid of the cruelty and the lawbreakers, how dare you not accept the severe punishment to thank your majesty for his crime? But as far as the present situation is concerned, I really can't accept the punishment of "cruelty to politics." After hearing this, Fu Jian sighed and praised, and said to the Minister of culture and military, "Wang JINGLUE is really Guan Zhong and Zichan." He pardoned Wang Meng for killing officials.
Wang Mengzhi made outstanding achievements and was soon promoted to Zuo Cheng. Because he is not strict with the law, he is smart and capable. At the age of 36, he was promoted five times in succession to the rank of minister Zuo pushe, a general of the auxiliary state, and a captain of the Sili school. Those imperial relatives, uncles and senior officials were all jealous and gnashing their teeth with hatred. Fan Shi, the guzang Marquis of the di nationality, who was born as a great commander, was the first to jump out and insult Wang Meng in public, relying on his hard work in helping Fu Jian fight in the world. He said: "we once made great achievements with the former Emperor, but we can't participate in the secret work. Why are you in charge of big things without sweat? Isn't it that we grow crops and you pick up food for nothing Wang Meng sneered: "it's not only you who plant and I collect, but also you who make a good meal for me to eat!" Otherwise, the king of the world will not live long When Fu Jian learned about this, he said decisively: "we must kill this old Di, and then the officials can clean up."
Soon after, Fu Jian called Fan Shi to meet him and said in front of him that he would let the princess marry Yang Bi, who was engaged to Fan Shi's daughter. Fan Shi objected. Wang Meng borrowed a word to refer to the fact that Fan Shi openly competed with Fu Jian to marry him without a king. He was so angry that Fan Shi wanted to attack Wang Meng. He was held by his servants and swore at him with vicious words. Fu Jian ordered Fan Shi to be executed.
Later, Wang Meng, the opposition party, turned from an open attack to a covert slander. Chou Teng and Xi Bao used their position to slander Wang Meng. Fu Jian is about to drive them out of the court. Fu Jian even flogged and kicked the officials of Di nationality who were flying long and short. As a result, that group of people are afraid, no longer dare to talk nonsense. Later, Wang Meng was promoted to the position of Sangong, and Fu Jian also gave him the record of Shangshu, which was higher than Sangong.
Rejuvenating the country and strengthening the country
At that time, there were a group of Di dignitaries inside and outside the imperial court, who relied on the same family with the royal family or "contributed to our court" and so on. They lived in important areas, acted recklessly and lawlessly. Wang Meng's Spearhead
