Chapter 46 (46) Cold and Warm Life

Zhang Zhao and Lu Xun are the two important ministers of Sun Quan. Zhang Zhao assisted Sun Quan with the help of Gu Gu, helping Sun Quan to stabilize the country.Lu Xun is a rising star in the upper reaches of the commander, and made great contributions to Sun Quan.However, the evening scenes of these two people were very bleak. Zhang Zhao was left out in the cold, and Lu Xun was forced to death. So why was Sun Zhao left out?And who drove Lu Xun to death?Please pay attention to Yi Zhongtian Pin Three Kingdoms' "Cold and Warm Life". In 200 A.D., Sun Ceyi died. The 18-year-old Sun Quan took over the foundation of his father and brother. However, at this time, Sun Quan was facing the threat of Cao Cao, a powerful enemy outside, and the worry that the Jiangdong gentry would not surrender. The regime that Sun Quan took over was A hot potato, the outlook is not optimistic.However, just when Sun Quan's soul was uncertain and he was at a loss, Sun Ce's former minister Zhang Zhao was like a giant pillar supporting him in the sky that would never collapse. Zhang Zhao stood up to support Sun Quan, supported and assisted Sun Quan willingly, and helped him Establish prestige, stabilize the morale of the people, turn the madness from the collapse, and the lost building will collapse, but such a great hero, after Sun Quan became king, was left in the cold by Sun Quan. Why is this?Is there any conflict between Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao?Professor Yi Zhongtian of Xiamen University sits on the forum of hundreds of scholars and will give you a wonderful taste of "The Cold and Warm Life" of the Three Kingdoms.

We said in the last episode that Sun Quan is very good at employing people. Because Sun Quan is good at employing people, Sun Quan's camp can be said to be full of talents, but they are accompanied by bad luck.Why not?Some people don't live long, Zhou Yu is the year old, Lu Sutuo is the year old, Lu Meng is the snake year old, Zhang Zhaori is 1 year old, and Lu Xun is the mouse year old.But the fate of Zhang Zhao and Lu Xun was not so good. Zhang Zhao was left out, and Lu Xun was forced to death. So what happened?Let's talk about Zhang Zhao first.Who is Zhang Zhao? I don’t need to say more. Everyone is already familiar with him. He is Sun Quan’s great hero. If Zhang Zhao hadn’t led a group of officials to support Sun Quan when he took over, Sun Quan’s position would not be stable. If it weren't for Zhang Zhao to help Sun Quan take care of everything, Sun Quan's affairs would not be settled.What do you think Zhang Zhao did when Sun Quan took over?

Reporting to the imperial court, ordering counties and counties, and arranging officials to take their positions, Zhang Zhao helped him take care of these things, and Zhang Zhao was already like a prisoner in taking care of these things.So when Sun Quan decided to establish a shaman, everyone thought it was Zhang Zhao. Of course, Zhang Zhao was the shaman. When did Sun Quan set up a shaman?It should be after he became the king of Wu and before he became the emperor, he began to set up a witch minister. It was during the reign of Huang Wu. At this time, everyone thought it was Zhang Zhao for granted. As a result, Sun Quan did not appoint Zhang Zhao, but Sun Quan appointed a Sun Shao. Sun Quan explained: "It's an eventful time now, and the task of being a witch is very heavy. Mr. Zhang is old, how can he have the heart to let him take such a heavy position? This is not preferential treatment for him, so Sun Shao should be After working for a few years as a shaman, he passed away. When he wanted to choose a shaman again, everyone said Zhang Zhao, but Sun Quan disagreed and appointed Gu Yong as a shaman. From then on, Zhang Zhao lost the possibility of being a shaman. After proclaiming himself emperor, Zhang Zhao wrote a report saying that the old minister was not in good health, so I handed over all my duties and powers and retired.

Apply for retirement.Sun Quan said that to retire is to retire, don’t retire, or to retire is to retire, don’t retire, and gave Zhang Zhao some honorary positions, but basically he will not come to the court. Zhang Zhao has no choice. Those who have done a lot of work have no choice but to go home and write books. Then why did Sun Quan keep Zhang Zhao from being a shaman over and over again? Four kinds of arguments: The first one is that Sun Quan is ungrateful, that is, Sun Quan is a person who is ungrateful on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is ungrateful and ungrateful. Yes, but after he became the emperor, he did not posthumously confer the title of Sun Ce as the emperor. He posthumously conferred the title of Sun Jian as the emperor, and Sun Ce conferred the title of "King Huan of Changsha". If you call him a king, Sun Ce’s son is only a marquis, so some people say he is ungrateful. In addition, let’s see how the descendants of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng are. Often there is nothing to follow, and the three families have not become the big families in Jiangdong, so some people say that it is Bo Qing who does not use Zhang Zhao. Why did the tea get cold before I left, so this doesn't make much sense.

The second way of saying is to hold grudges, Sun Quan remembers to hate Zhang Zhao, why does he remember to hate Zhang Zhao?Because Zhang Zhao advocated surrender during the Battle of Chibi, and we have also talked about this accident. When Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, he said that it was all due to Zhou Gongjin, and Zhang Zhao also stood up and prepared to publish some praises Speaking, Sun Quan stopped him from saying Mr. Zhang, you can forget it. If Lian had listened to you back then, he would have gone to beg for food now, and he should be restricted. And it makes sense logically, right, if Lian surrendered Cao Cao, is there an emperor?Can you become a shaman without being an emperor, and Lian can't be an emperor?You can't be a shaman, right? Since you were originally not a shaman, don't be this time, but this kind of thing is enough to clear you up once, and it's enough if you want to humiliate him or take revenge once. Some people say that this is actually not a record limit, but a matter of position. They said that Sun Quan suspected that Zhang Zhao was not firm in his position. In fact, there is no need for this, because after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao once wrote a letter to Sun Quan, saying that if you compare Zhang Zhao and Liu Bei If you don't want to kill Zhang Zhao, you can just kill Liu Bei, then Cao Cao put Zhang Zhao in his black name, it has already proved that Zhang Zhao is a firm stand for you, Sun Quan, and the enemy supports you in everything Are we going to oppose it, so this fear doesn't make sense.

The third way of saying is that Sun Quan is not a record limit, but a taboo, and Zhang Zhao. Chen Shou has this saying. Chen Shou said that Zhang Zhao can't be a witch. Zhang Zhao was too strict, so Sun Quan hated him, and Zhang Zhao was too noble, so Sun Quan alienated him. There is also evidence for this.We know that after Sun Quan took over, he treated Zhang Zhao with the courtesy of a master, that is, treated Zhang Zhao as a teacher, as both an uncle and a teacher, and Zhang Zhao also did his part. Since you regard me as a teacher, I will have a I don't care about the appearance of the teacher. Sun Quan is a very heroic man. He likes to hunt. He often goes out hunting and shooting tigers on a horse himself. What else happened?It was very dangerous when the tiger's front paws caught Sun Quan's saddle. At this time, Zhang Zhao went to block it. Zhang Zhao said that a king should drive a hero instead of a horse, and he should deal with enemies instead of wild beasts. This is not true. What a benevolent gentleman should do is clear, Sun Quan said: I'm sorry, are you young, are you ignorant, I can't do it next time, okay.

Sun Quan didn’t ride a horse to fight tigers anymore, instead he rode a cart. Sun Quan invented a cart to shoot tigers. He sat in the cart and shot with arrows. In this way, tigers or other ferocious beasts jumped on the cart, and Sun Quan went to kill them himself. These ferocious beasts are very happy, very happy, Zhang Zhao saw what was going on, and the old man went to nagging him again, you are wrong, you can’t be like this as a benevolent king, that’s the reason, at this time Sun Quan just laughed and didn’t answer, laughed Don't answer with a smile, just do it.Here we can also see whether Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao have a sense of family. In this story, Zhang Zhao is like a mother-in-law's uncle, and Sun Quan is like a mischievous nephew. It's endless, you should add more clothes when you go out, it's cold, have you covered the quilt well, this old quilt, it's just like this feeling, it's nothing, we often see the big housekeeper taking care of the young master, there is such a thing This kind of thing, but you have to know that this person will change. First, this nephew will grow up, and he will become bigger and bigger. When it comes to the emperor, you are still a nagging uncle, so you will not work at this time. The problem is that Zhang Zhao will not change.

It should be that after Sun Quan proclaimed King Wu, he was once at Diaoyutai in Wuchang. Let me repeat that Wuchang is now Ezhou, Hubei Province. Ezhou is adjacent to the Yangtze River. There is a Diaoyutai on the river, not our Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. In the Diaoyutai Banquet Hall, one night there was a big banquet for all the ministers, and everyone was drunk. Sun Quan was so drunk that he saw everyone lying in this place. He said, come on, sprinkle water on their faces, sprinkle cold water on them, and put them to death. Get it up, come on, keep on drinking, if someone has to fall off the stage today, then it will be considered a good drink, Zhang Zhao pulled his face when he heard this, and went out to his place without saying a word. BMW" sat in the car and sulked, what did Sun Quan think of Zhang Zhao?Said that Zhang Zhao went back to his "BMW" car and was angry, but Sun Quan said, "Bite, Mr. Zhang, isn't it very happy tonight?"What are you doing?What are you angry about?Zhang Zhao is sitting: happy, very happy, I tell you that the king of Yin Feng piled wine pomegranates into mountains, made fine wine into pools, drank all day, all night and all night. He also said that he was very happy, he didn't say he was not happy .Sun Quan had no choice: OK, the meeting will be dismissed.This actually disappointed Sun Quan, so when Sun Quan explained for the second time why he did not appoint Zhang Zhao as shaman, Sun Quan made it very clear: Everyone knows the importance of the position of shaman, and the position of shaman is to The one who contacted everyone, this gentleman, this old man, this gentleman is too strong, and when he becomes a witch, he will definitely give suggestions, suggestions, suggestions, and participate in political discussions, right, if most of these opinions he He won’t accept it, because he’s tough, he’s tough, and he doesn’t accept everyone’s opinions. In the end, it will cause complaints, and it will cause a lot of trouble. Isn’t this hurting Mr. Zhang?From this perspective, Zhang Zhao is not suitable to be a shaman, but we have to ask, is the Sun Shao chosen by Sun Quan suitable?

According to Mr. Yi Zhongtian’s analysis above, Sun Quan’s explanation on whether Zhang Zhao can be a shaman is that although Zhang Zhao has a high level, great ability, and great achievements, his words and deeds are too dignified and his character is too staunch. It is easy to cause trouble and be full of resentment, so Zhang Zhao's journey as a shaman stopped here. Sun Quan appointed a man named Sun Shao as the first shaman of Soochow, so who is Sun Shao?Is he more suitable for the position of witch minister than Zhang Zhao? It doesn't seem appropriate. We know that Sun Shao has no biography in "Three Kingdoms". The first Wu Lian can't keep a biography. It can be seen that he didn't do anything. I guess he just didn't do anything.So why did Sun Quan choose him, so there is a fourth point of view, that is, the first witch minister chosen by Sun Quan was originally a decoration, and he did not intend to use any kind of minister to serve as the prime minister. Mr. Tian Yuqing talked about this issue, When Mr. Tian Yuqing talked about why Zhang Zhao did not become a shaman, he said that on the one hand, Zhang Zhao has never been directly in charge of affairs, that is, he has never been in charge of affairs directly; on the other hand, Sun Quan has always been in power. That is to say, according to Mr. Tian’s research, Zhang Zhao’s importance is not as great as we thought. He was very important in the early stage. For a long time, he will not directly take care of things, but we will ask. Since Zhang Zhao was not that important in the first place, and Sun Quan didn't want his shaman to be important, so wouldn't it be appropriate to use Zhang Zhao, who was originally unimportant, as the shaman who didn't want to be important?How can this be explained?The explanation is very simple and early, that is, Zhang Zhao is not very important, because he is not directly in charge of things, he is not in charge of things, he is important as soon as he is in charge of things, and he is in charge of things as soon as he becomes a witch. What is the result if it is important?

Even Zhang Zhao has become more important, and the position of witch minister has also become more important, and Sun Quan does not want Zhang Zhao to be too important, nor does he want the witch minister to be too important, so he must not use Zhang Zhao as witch minister, have you made it clear?Then we have to ask again, Sun Quan considers that he mainly does not want Zhang Zhao to be important, or does he not want the shaman to be important. Which one does he not want to be important?Let's talk about Zhang Zhao first, Sun Quan definitely doesn't want Zhang Zhao to be too important

why?Zhang Zhao is not ordinary. Those old ministers Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng in the early days had passed away before Sun Quan set up the post of shaman, so the older generation, the older generation is Zhang Zhao, and what is Zhang Zhao?Tuo Gu's minister, and Sun Ce said something like this: "If you plan and don't do anything, the king will take it yourself." Of course, this remark was entrusted by Sun Ce, and Zhang Zhao would not bring it up at any time. When the king's decision-making conflicts, that is, when the prime minister and the imperial power conflict, what should he do if he plays the cards? At that time, who listened to, and in fact, Zhang Zhao also took care of himself. After Zhang Zhao retired to the second line, he basically didn't come to work. Later, when something happened, Sun Quan went to him and went to his house to see him. , Zhang Zhao was kneeling and sitting on the seat. When he saw Sun Quan coming, Zhang Zhao immediately avoided the seat. We have talked about "Characters of the Han Dynasty" and avoided the seat to show respect. Sun Quan immediately sat on his knees and straightened his waist. Come down, after sitting down, Zhang Zhao said: I think back then, King Huan and the Queen Mother were Sun Ce and Mrs. Wu.This sentence is very important, that is, Sun Ce and Mrs. Wu didn't hand over the old minister to you, but they handed you over to the old minister. After clarifying this account, who is in charge, but it is not fun to accompany the old minister. Can't talk, can't please people, so he was treated coldly. The old minister thought he would die in the wilderness all his life. I didn't expect His Majesty to come to see the old minister. After looking back, the old minister, this majesty, is he right? It will be changed. The reason why the veteran did this is because the Queen Mother and King Huan entrusted the veteran to say what he thinks, and the veteran can't do it if he wants to think about other people's thoughts and say what others like to hear. Sun Quan can’t help it: Yes, yes, you can say what you want, and it’s also uncomfortable. You can also give an example: when Jiahe Wunian, Sun Quan was already the emperor at this time, the prefect of Liaodong Wei, the prefect of Liaodong Gongsun Yuan pretended to be a minister to the state of Wu, so Sun Quan made him king of Yan, and then sent 10,000 people and two important ministers to make him king. Everyone said that Gongsun Yuan was unreliable. Impermanence, he is a villain, he must have fooled us, so we sent his envoy back to give him some money and a certificate. Everyone tried to persuade, but it was useless. Zhang Zhao also tried to persuade, but it was still useless. Then Zhang Zhao said something, and Sun Quan refuted it. Zhang Zhao said something, and Sun Quan refuted it. The more you drive this conflict, the more acute it becomes. Finally, Sun Quan couldn't bear it any longer and pulled out his sword: Grandpa Sun, our scholars from the state of Wu enter the palace to pay homage to the couplets, and those who leave the palace pay homage to the emperor. You are the one who kneels down, and you are enough to give Lian face, but Mr. Zhang, you never give Lian face. Every time you contradict Lian in front of so many people, Lian is about to make a mistake, but Lian I can't help it anymore, I'm going to make a mistake, I'm going to kill you.Zhang Zhao stopped talking, stared at Sun Quan with his "familiar view", and then said, "Oh, Your Majesty, in fact, the old minister also knows that if you don't say it, you don't say it, and if you say it, you say it, why do you say it?" The last words of the queen mother are still in my ears. When did the queen mother tell the ministers those words? Before the queen mother died, she called the ministers to her bed and said, and then burst into tears, and Sun Quan threw the knife and cried. , the two monarchs and ministers were full of tears, but Sun Quan cried and cried, and after the meeting was over, he still sent people to Liaodong. The envoys sent in the past were killed by Gongsun Yuan when they arrived in Liaodong. Zhang Zhao would not go to court again. Sun Quan said yes, if you don’t go to court, come, come, build Zhang Zhao’s gate with soil and seal his house. Get up, Zhang Zhao said you will seal the door, but I won’t?I dug earth to seal the house, and he built a wall inside to seal the door. Sun Quan had nothing to do with him, so Sun Quan had to take a chance to go out to see him and shouted outside, but he didn't respond inside. Sun Quan said angrily Set fire, just set fire. After setting fire, Zhang Zhao said inside, close the door a little tighter, close all the doors he had and let him burn. Sun Quan had no way to say to put out the fire. After the fire was extinguished, there was no other way, so Sun Quan had no choice but to stand Standing in front of his house, it's fine to stand. At this time, Zhang Zhao's son also knew that this matter should not go on like this. He is the emperor after all, so he got Zhang Zhao out of bed and carried him out on a stretcher, and then followed him. When Sun Quan entered the palace together, Sun Quan also made a self-criticism, an in-depth self-criticism. You think that Zhang Zhao has already semi-retired at this time, and has retreated to the second line. He is still so tough and powerful.So Sun Quan didn't want Zhang Zhao to be too important, and Sun Quan didn't want his shamanism to be too heavy. He looked at his shamanism. The first Sun Shao, I said, didn't even have a biography, and he probably belonged to Amitabha.The second Gu Yong is also very good at being a man. Gu Yong has several principles when he is a witch minister: first, he never speaks on his own initiative, only when Sun Quan asks him; .Thirdly, he doesn't give up his speeches like Zhang Zhao did, he talks endlessly, he often just says one or two sentences.For example, during a meeting, Zhang Zhao got up again to dismiss the statement, saying that the current criminal law is too complicated, the taxes are too heavy, and the people are in dire straits. , After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Sun Quan turned around and said what about the Prime Minister's opinion?Gu Yong only had one sentence. What the minister heard was the same as what Zhang Gong said, no more, so Gu Yong made Wu Que as a consultant, which determined the form of Sun Quan's appearance. What Sun Quan wanted was a consultant. A shaman, not a prime minister-type shaman, what are his requirements?Don't offend when you are in place, help and don't add trouble, be a consultant if you have something to do, and a symbol when you have nothing to do, so Gu Yong did the right thing. After 19 years of doing it, he passed away at the age of Hua, and died a good death. According to what Mr. Yi Zhongtian said earlier, Sun Quan appointed Sun Shao and Gu Yong instead of Zhang Zhao because Sun Quan had his own ideas about the position of shaman prime minister. What he wanted was a consultant shaman, not a prime minister, so We can easily understand Zhang Zhao's neglect, and after the death of Sun Quan's second shaman, Gu Yong, Sun Quan used the famous Lu Xun as the shaman. Lu Xun was a rising star in the late Eastern Wu Dynasty. They are comparable, but what is strange is that Lu Xun was forced to die after only serving as the witch prime minister for one year. Why is this?Could it be that Sun Quan's position as a shaman can only be a useless decoration? Lu Xun served as the third shaman of the state of Wu, Dayou Wentong. The Lu family and the Sun family had feuds.Sun Quan asked twice about his successor, and Lu Meng said Lu Xun. The conflict between the Lu family and the Sun family should start with Yuan Shu. At that time, Lu Xun’s grandfather Lu Kang was the prefect of Lujiang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Yuan Shu asked Lu Kang for money because he had no military rations in Shouchun. Lu Kang thought Yuan Shu was "rebellious". After paying attention, Yuan Shu was furious and sent Sun Ce to fight Lu Kang. The battle lasted for two years, and finally the city was captured. Lu Kang, who was 70 years old, also fell ill and died a month later. More than a hundred people from the clan also suffered a lot, and almost half of them died.Therefore, the Lu family and the Sun family have national feuds, and Sun Quan has to have reservations about Lu Xun. He would hesitate, so Lu Meng recommended Lu Xun to Sun Quan twice, and Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the shaman. And Sun Quan also had high hopes for Lu Xun. After Lu Xun took over, Sun Quan and Lu Xun had a conversation. Where is the record of this conversation?The "Biography of Lu Meng" recorded in "Three Kingdoms" is not in the "Biography of Lu Xun". In this conversation, Sun Quan commented on the merits and demerits of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng one by one. This is definitely not a chat, it is intentional , and a very important sentence is that Sun Quan has a very high evaluation of Zhou Yu, what did he say?When it comes to Zhou Yu, it is "difficult to judge all over the world, and the king will succeed him today." He said that Zhou Yu is so amazing that no one can succeed him, but you have succeeded him today, general. What is this? Lu Xun is regarded as the second Zhou Yu. This is the high expectation of his son, so Lu Xun lived up to the high expectations. Indeed, he made great contributions to Sun Quan. Therefore, after Gu Yong passed away, Lu Xun succeeded Gu Yong and became the third governor of the Wu Kingdom. Shaman.Lu Xun, a well-known scholar in the east of the Yangtze River, really became a general and became a prime minister. This was also the pinnacle of Lu Xun's life. However, Lu Bi was forced to death by Sun Quan about a year after he became a witch prime minister.Earlier we talked about the competition between Sun Quan’s eldest son and Hejia’s fourth son, Sun Ba, for the position of crown prince. Lu is the king of Lu and Sun Ba. At this time, the people in the court are divided into two, which is called the division of the whole country. It means that the whole country is divided into two factions. , Lu Xun wrote to Sun Quan again and again to protect the crown prince, and asked to meet with Sun Quan for a meeting. A nephew was dismissed and exiled because he supported the prince. It was the exile of the people around Lu Xun. Those who were killed were killed. Lu Xun was constantly blamed by Sun Quan, so Lu Xun was very melancholy, very temperamental, and finally died of anger, so many people It is believed that Lu Xun's death was due to the struggle between the Southern Lu Party, that is, the struggle between the Princeling Party and the Royal Party of Lu. The No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 people have all been promoted, which means that Lu Xun's death was by no means a matter of party struggle in Nanlu. There must be a deeper reason behind it. So what is this reason? Woolen cloth?Please see the next episode "Upstream".
