When Yuan An was serving as prime minister in the state of Wu, a servant secretly fell in love with Yuan An's maid. Yuan An knew about this, but did not say anything. He was as good to this history as before.

Yuan An When Wu Guo was the prime minister, a minister secretly fell in love with Yuan An's maid. Yuan An knew about this, but did not say anything. He was as good to this history as before. Someone told Congshi that Yuan Ang knew about his affair with his maid, and Congshi was afraid and ran away. This is too irresponsible!

Yuan Ang is from Chu, and his character is Silk.

His father once worked as a bandit and later moved to Anling.

In that era of warlord rule and chaos in the world, who was not a robber? As the saying goes, "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the kingdom will be kings." It's just that everyone's fate is different.

Yuan An and Zhou Bo

After Emperor Xiaowen came to the throne, Yuan An became the official of Zhonglang (a kind of Lang official, a close attendant of the emperor) on the recommendation of his brother Yuan Kuai.

Don't underestimate this official. Although he is not big, he can directly speak to the emperor!

At that time, Zhou Bo made great contributions to destroying Lu and supporting Liu, and became the prime minister for his merits.

Emperor Wen was very respectful to him because of his support and often watched him go out.

Zhou Bo was also proud of his achievements.

Yuan An felt unhappy when he saw Zhou Bo like this.

He said to Emperor Wen: "What kind of person does Your Majesty think the Prime Minister is?"

Emperor Wen said: "He is an important minister who is concerned with the comfort of the country."

Yuan An said: "Jianghou (Zhou Bo was named Jianghou) is just a so-called The heroes of the country are not the important ministers of the country.

The important ministers of the country should live and die with the emperor. When Empress Lu was in power, the people of the Lu family were in power and vying for the title of king without authorization. As a result, the Liu family was almost destroyed, and the national line was almost destroyed. As thin as silk.

At that time, Jianghou, as a Taiwei, had military power, but he could not correct the current affairs.

After Empress Lu died, the country returned to its center, and the ministers of the court joined forces to attack the Lu family. It happened that the Taiwei had military power. It is just an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Therefore, he is said to be a so-called meritorious official, but cannot be said to be an important minister of the country.

Now the Prime Minister looks proud to the emperor, but His Majesty always gives in humbly. This is a violation of both the minister and the monarch. We should observe the etiquette of each other, but I privately think that this is inappropriate."

Yuan Ang's private admonishment was due to his special status. But he said it politely. When Emperor Wen went to court again, he gradually became serious, and Zhou Bo became increasingly fearful.

Later, Zhou Bo heard that this was Yuan Ang's fault, and he complained to Yuan Ang and said: "I have such a good relationship with your brother Yuan Kui, but you are talking bad about me in front of the emperor!"

Yuan Ang heard Zhou Bo say this , nor defend.

Later, Zhou Bo was deposed as prime minister and returned to the feudal state. At this time, someone wrote a letter saying that he wanted to rebel.

So Jianghou was summoned to the capital and imprisoned pending review

.

Jianghou Zhou Bo

The royal family members and court ministers were afraid of getting angry and did not dare to defend Zhou Bo. At this time, Yuan An stood up to prove that Zhou Bo was innocent.

It was finally proved that Zhou Pi was wronged and he was released. From then on, Zhou Bo and Yuan An became good friends.

You can't tell who is the most sincere unless something happens.

Yuan Ang and King Huainan

In the first three years of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty (177 BC), when King Liu Chang of Huainan came to Beijing for an audience, he went to see Pihou to review his food. When he was reviewing his food, he heard that King Huainan was coming. Mansion, come out to see him.

Who would have thought that this was the king of Huainan who came to take his life? When they saw him and said goodbye, the king of Huainan, Liu Chang, took out the iron spine hidden in his sleeve and beat him for eating, and ordered his followers to kill him for eating. The Queen Mother of Huainan once asked him to do something, but she didn't hate helping him.

This rebellious minister and traitor who once helped Empress Lu to commit evil can be regarded as reaping the consequences. Alas, retribution!

Even so, it is too arrogant to kill an old and former minister of the country in broad daylight!

Yuan An took the opportunity to persuade the emperor: "If the princes are too powerful and arrogant, they will inevitably cause disaster. Their fiefdoms can be appropriately reduced."

Emperor Wen did not adopt Yuan An's suggestion.

The king of Huainan became even more arrogant and domineering.Later, it was discovered that the son of Marquis Jipu and Chai Wu was preparing to rebel. When he was investigated and punished, the King of Huainan was implicated.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was furious and transferred King Huainan to Beijing to teach him a lesson, then put him in a prison car and demoted him to Shu.

Yuan Ang was the Zhonglang General at the time and advised Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty used to let King Huainan go without any restrictions, and now he has suddenly punished him.

King Huainan has a strong temperament. If you encounter him on the road, If he dies in the wind, frost and cold dew, your majesty will be known by the world as being unable to tolerate his younger brother, and may even be blamed for killing his younger brother. That would be bad. "

Emperor Wen didn't listen and listened to his ministers in everything, which also shows that this emperor is too incompetent. Level.

As a result, just as Yuan Ang said, the King of Huainan really died of illness on the way.

Emperor Wen was very sad, crying and unable to eat.

Yuan Ang went to court and kowtowed to Emperor Wen to plead guilty.

Emperor Wen said: "Because your opinions were not adopted before, that's why we are in this situation today."

Yuan Ang said: "Please be more open-minded, your Majesty, and don't blame yourself. This is already in the past. What regrets do you have?" What's the use? Besides, your Majesty has done three things that others can't do. This small thing is not enough to ruin your reputation."

"What three things have I done that others can't do?"

Yuan An said: " When he first became the king, the Queen Mother was ill for three years. During this period, His Majesty never closed his eyes, nor did he take off his clothes to get a good night's sleep. The soup and medicine were not given to the Queen Mother unless His Majesty tasted them himself.

Confucius Disciples, filial piety is the first priority) As a common people, you can't do this, but now your majesty has done it, you are much more filial than Zeng Shen.

The Lu family was in power, and then the ministers dictated the government. However, your majesty actually took a six-wheeler. A horse-drawn carriage rushes from Daiguo to the capital where misfortune has come. Even brave men like Meng Ben and Xia Yu can't compare to you.

After your Majesty arrived at Chang'an Daiguo's residence! , Facing the west twice and facing the south three times, the sage Xu You resigned from the throne of the emperor only once, but your majesty was able to resign the throne five times, which was more than Xu You's four times. The original intention was to use this to work his mind and make him change his ways, but he fell ill and died due to poor protection."

Emperor Wen felt relieved after hearing these words of Yuan Ang.

Good ministers are good at persuading the king. It can not only grasp their pain points, but also scratch their itches.

Yuan Ang's three things

one, Using conspiracy to deal with conspiracy

Yuan Ang often makes reasonable and impassioned speeches on some major issues.

At that time, the eunuch Zhao Tong relied on the emperor's favor and often secretly slandered Yuan Ang, which gave Yuan Ang a headache.

Such sycophants and thieves are very troublesome. They kneel down and lick the emperor. The emperor cannot live without such sycophants.

Yuan An's nephew Yuan Zhong is the emperor's attendant knight, holding talisman and accompanying the emperor.

He gave his uncle Yuan An an idea and said: "You can find an opportunity to insult him in public in the court, so that his slanders in the future will have no effect."

Of course, the way to deal with villains is not to treat them like a gentleman. Of.

Once, when Emperor Xiaowen was out, Zhao Tong was accompanying him in the car. When Yuan Ang saw the opportunity, he immediately went over and knelt in front of the car and said:

"I heard that only the heroes of the country are qualified to accompany the emperor on the car." A car. Even if there are no talents in the Han Dynasty, a eunuch who has been tortured by a knife will not accompany you in a car." After hearing this, Emperor Wen smiled and asked Zhao Tong to get out of the car, and Zhao Tong shed tears. car.

Zhao Tong

From then on, Zhao Tong slandered Yuan Ang again, but Emperor Wen just smiled. He thought this was Zhao Tong's revenge on Yuan Ang.

Use conspiracy to deal with conspiracy, use light to contain darkness, this method is really wise.

Yuan Zhong is a real master!

Second, such pampering actually harmed her

Emperor Wen’s queen was Queen Dou . However, Emperor Wen's favorite was Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen was so arrogant that she often sat at the same table as Queen Dou in the palace.

The Queen is the lord of the Sixth Palace, and her mother is responsible for the world. In the hierarchical palace, the Queen's status is unshakable.

Empress Dou didn't say anything about Mrs. Shen's ignorance. She was very deep in the city and remained calm on the surface.

Yuan Ang knows that this is a very dangerous thing. Lu Pheasant and Mrs. Qi This is a lesson learned from the past!

Once the emperor visited Linyuan, Queen Dou and Mrs. Shen accompanied him.

While waiting to be seated, Director Lang arranged the seats, and Yuan Ang pulled Mrs. Shen's seat back a little.

Mrs. Shen was angry and refused to sit down and leave. Emperor Wen saw that his beloved woman was angry and refused to sit down. He stood up and left, returning to the inner palace.

Yuan Ang went to persuade: "I heard that order of superiority and inferiority leads to harmony between superiors and inferiors. Now that your majesty has established a queen, Mrs. Shen is just a concubine. Concubine How can concubine sit side by side with the master?

This will disturb the situation. The order of honor and inferiority. Besides, if your majesty loves her, you can reward her generously. Your majesty thought you were doting on her just now, but in fact, you have harmed her. "What happened?"

Emperor Wen became happy and took a long breath. He called Mrs. Shen again and told her what Yuan Ang said.

Mrs. Shen then realized that her behavior was not far from disaster.

So Mrs. Shen gave Yuan An fifty kilograms of gold.

Third, to persuade the Prime Minister

Yuan An met Prime Minister Shen Tujia on the road home, so he got out of the car and saluted.

Shen Tujia claimed to be the prime minister, but he just expressed his gratitude in the car.

After returning home, Yuan Ang felt ashamed of his subordinates and thought that the prime minister had insulted him, so he went to the prime minister's house again and asked to see him.

After waiting for a long time, the prime minister came out, what a big show!

Yuan Ang knelt down and said, "I wish to speak to the Prime Minister alone. Please avoid others."

Shen Tujia said, "If what you are talking about is official business, please go to the official office to discuss it with the chief minister. I will send your memorial Report it; if it is a private matter, I will not listen to private words. "

There is nothing wrong with a prime minister saying this.

Yuan Ang saw Shen Tujia like this and said, "As the prime minister, please try to figure it out for yourself. Are you comparable to Chen Ping and Jianghou?"

Shen Tujia said, "I can't compare to them."

Yuan An Said: "Well, it's good if you can realize your shortcomings. Chen Ping and Jianghou assisted Gaozu and became generals. They killed the Lu family and preserved the Liu family's foundation;

You turned out to be just a bow-drawer. A low-level warrior was promoted to captain, and he accumulated merits and became the governor of Huaiyang County . He did not make any plans, nor did he make any military exploits in sieges or field battles.

Besides, His Majesty came from Dai, and every time he went to court, When Lang Guan presented the memorial, the emperor never stopped his carriage and listened respectfully to their opinions.

If the opinions could not be adopted, they were put aside; if they could be adopted, they were adopted.

Why was this? It is to attract the wise scholars and officials of the world.

The emperor listens to things he has never heard before and understands the truths he did not know before, and becomes wiser and wiser day by day. But now you personally close the mouths of the people of the world and make yourself a fool. Become stupid every day.

Let a wise monarch face a dull prime minister, and you will not be far away from disaster." After hearing this, Shen Tujia woke up like a dream and hurriedly bowed to Yuan Ang twice. He said: "I am a vulgar and vulgar person, ignorant of principles, and I am fortunate to have received your teachings, general."

Then he invited Yuan Ang to enter the inner room and sit with him, treating him as an honored guest.

Yuan An and Chao Cuo were enemies from the past life.

For some reason, Yuan Ang and Chao Cuo were enemies from birth.

As long as there is Chao Cuo, Yuan An will leave; and when Yuan An is present, Chao Cuo will also leave.

The two of them have never been alone together.

After the death of Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Jing ascended the throne, and Chao Cuo became the imperial censor. Chao Cuo's era came.

Chao Cuo sent people to verify Yuan Ang's acceptance of the property of King Wu and wanted to sentence him to prison.

Later, Emperor Jing issued an edict to pardon Yuan An and demote him to a commoner.

Wu, Chu and others rebelled, and the news reached the capital. Chao Cuo said to his opponent, the Prime Minister: "Yuan Ang received a lot of money from King Wu to cover it up for him, saying that he would not rebel.

Now that the rebellion has become a fact, I request The information about Yuan Ang's punishment was not reported."

Prime Minister said: "If the matter is not exposed, it may be able to stop the rebellion conspiracy. Now that the rebels have moved west, what is the use of punishing Yuan Ang?"

Someone told Yuan Ang about this. Yuan Ang was frightened and went to see Dou Ying ( Wei Qihou Dou Ying was the Empress Dowager Dou 's nephew) all night, and explained to him the reasons for King Wu's rebellion and was willing to Go to the emperor and confront him.

Dou Ying reported this to Emperor Jing, who summoned Yuan An into the palace.

Yuan An explained in detail the reason why King Wu rebelled, it was all because of Chao Cuo. Only by quickly killing Chao Cuo to apologize to King Wu, King Wu would stop his troops.

Yuan An made a mistake at this time. Can you guarantee that King Wu will retreat? King Wu wants to conquer the world!

Chao Cuo was executed.

This conversation caused Yuan Ang to be reused as Taichang , and Dou Ying became the general.

Yuan An gave his wife

After Chao Cuo was killed, Emperor Jing asked Yuan An to go to Wu as Taichang.

The King of Wu wanted to use Yuan An's reputation to serve as the general of the Kingdom of Wu. Yuan Ang disagreed, so the King of Wu wanted to kill him and sent a captain to lead 500 soldiers to surround Yuan An in the military camp. middle.

When Yuan An was serving as the prime minister of the state of Wu, one of his subordinates, Shi, secretly fell in love with Yuan An's mistress.

Yuan Ang knew about this, but did not tell it. He treated this matter as he had done in history.

Someone told Cong Shi that Yuan Ang knew about his affair with the maid. Cong Shi was very scared and ran away home. Isn't this guy too irresponsible? What should you do if your wife runs away? Dare to be the kind of bear you dare not be.

Yuan Ang heard that Cong Shi had run away, so he drove himself after Cong Shi, gave him the maid as his wife, and still let him work under him. After all, he still had to support his family! Lost my job in that line of work.

Yuan Ang is quite caring in doing this.

At this time, Yuan Ang was besieged and imprisoned by the King of Wu, and the captain Sima who besieged Yuan Ang happened to be the one from the history. What a coincidence! In fact, all coincidences are just the causes you planted. Now it is just your kind seeds that have blossomed and bear fruit.

Only when you give others a way can you find your own way.

The captain, Sima, used all the money he had with him to buy strong liquor and let the soldiers drink it. It was cold and the soldiers were hungry, thirsty and drunk.

The soldiers surrounding the southwest corner of the city were all drunk and lying on the ground. Captain Sima Cheng asked Yuan An to escape at night and said: "You should run away quickly. The King of Wu is going to kill you tomorrow morning."

Yuan An still didn't believe it and said: " Who are you?"

Sima said: "I am the one who was given the wife by you when I was in charge of history."

Yuan Ang was shocked and thanked him: "You still have your parents here, so I can't. Therefore, I will harm you!"

I have to say that Yuan An still has character and can think of the other person in a life-or-death situation.

"It's okay for you to leave. I've arranged for my parents to be in a safe place. I'm going to escape too."

Yuan Ang escaped. At daybreak, he ran into Liang Guo's cavalry, asked for a horse and galloped away. , went to report to the court.
