In September 1962, at the 10th Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong said to Ye Jianying: "I will give you two words: Zhuge is only cautious in life, Lu Duan is not confused about major issues!"
Everyone knows that "Zhuge" refers to Zhuge Liang . Who is this "Lu Duan"?
Why did Mao Zedong use Lu Duan to compare Ye Jianying?
1. Lu Duan is a man named
Lu Duan was born during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. His father was the Minister of War in the Later Jin of . The Later Jin Dynasty was established by the famous child emperor Shi Jingtang in history.
In this way, Lu Duan has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and he has enough books. That’s right, Lu Duan has shown his cleverness since childhood, and the characteristics of “child next door” are undoubtedly revealed.
When Lu Duan grew up, he entered the court of Song .
During the period of Taizu of Song Dynasty, Lu Duan performed in a normal manner, but he was very proposition on major events.
After Song Taizong took office, the prefect of Kaifeng was King of Qi Zhao Tingmei , and Lu Duan became the judge of Kaifeng dynasty. Zhao Tingmei's close subordinates asked for help "I want to make some bamboo ", which was illegal at the time.
Lu Duan thought about it and gave the leader a face. Later, someone exposed the matter and Lu Duan was demoted. Some people say that Lu Duan is so confused! He just smiled when he heard it.
Because, the handling of trivial matters is a bit rough and not very cautious, Lu Duan's career has been ups and downs. However, during the ups and downs, Lu Duan continued to move forward.
Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi He was very fond of Lu Duanting. He wanted to promote Lu Duan to be prime minister, and many court officials opposed it because "Lu Duan was confused in doing things!" Taizong immediately refuted: "Lu Duan was confused in small matters, but not in big matters."
From these words, Taizong intended to promote Lu Duan to be prime minister.
Some people may be anxious, why didn’t they see the big thing Lu Duan handle? A big thing is coming.
①. When Lu Duan was a prime minister, this happened.
982, Dangxiang people Li Jiqian rebelled (the predecessor of Xixia ), and often went to war with the Song army.
In a battle more than ten years later, Li Jiqian's mother was captured. How to deal with it? Taizong and Kou Zhun discussed that they would behead Li Jiqian's mother and show it to the public.
It’s a pity that this matter was not discussed with Lu Duan. Kou Zhun was also the prime minister and the deputy prime minister at that time.
When I saw Kou Zhun return from Taizong, I passed by the Prime Minister's Office, Lu Duan chatted with Kou Zhun: "Don't the emperor let me know something? If it's a common thing, don't tell me. But, if it's a military and national event, I should tell me the Prime Minister!"
Kou Zhun was in a dilemma, or not? He thought for a moment, thinking that the prime minister should know.
After listening to Kou Zhun's narration, Lu Duan shook his head: "Don't do this for now, I'm going to talk to the emperor."
Soon, Lu Duan met Taizong: "In the past, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu went to war. Xiang Yu never killed Liu Bang's father and family. Liu Bang said, please get a share of me! This shows that those who make big things ignore the affection of their parents. If you kill Li Jiqian's mother, you will be more determined to rebel against you."
makes sense! What should I do?
Lu Duan continued, "Support the old man and then summon Li Jiqian to surrender. Even if he does not surrender, Li Jiqian will miss his mother. This is much more useful than killing him."
Taizong nodded frequently and then adopted Lu Duan's suggestion. Later, Li Jiqian's son Li Deming surrendered to Song Dynasty because his grandmother was supported in Kaifeng. Of course, decades later, the Li family rebelled again, and this is the funeral.
②. The second important thing is that when the emperor handed over
Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng
In 997 AD, Song Taizong kicked his feet and drove away. At this time, undercurrents were surging in the palace, and eunuch Wang Ji'en was preparing to join forces with Empress Li , replaced the prince, and helped King Chu Zhao Yuanzuo to the throne.
Lu Duan had known for a long time that Wang Jien and others were very ambitious.
Emperor Taizong died, and Wang Jien summoned Lu Duan into the palace to discuss matters in the name of the queen. At this time, Lu Duan understood everything and immediately made such two arrangements. One was to arrange for people to lock Wang Jien in the cabinet and let the soldiers guard it; the other was to enter the palace quickly.
As expected, Empress Li said indeed: "According to the rules, it should be the eldest son or not. What do you think?" Lu Duan immediately responded firmly: "The crown prince was appointed by the late emperor. As soon as the late emperor passed away, we discussed the matter of changing the crown prince. Is it inappropriate? This matter is related to the future of the country!" Episode
has come to this point, and Empress Li can no longer object, so she can only agree.
When the ministers came to pay homage to the new emperor, Empress Li and the new emperor were both sitting behind the curtain. Worrying that there was a fraud, Lü Duan did not let everyone worship first, but suggested rolling up the curtain first.
The moment the curtain was rolled up, everyone saw it clearly, it was Zhao Heng. So, Lu Duan led everyone to kneel three times and kowtow nine times, shouting long live.
Just like that, a storm subsided.
In 1000 AD, three years after Emperor Zhenzong of Song took office, Lu Duan died at the age of 65.
At that time and later, the unanimous evaluation of Lu Duan was: Don’t be confused about big things!
Why did Mao Zedong comment on Ye Jianying: Lu Duan is not confused about major issues?
After talking about Lu Duan, let’s talk about Ye Jianying.
In his life, Marshal Ye rarely directed wars directly, nor did he have particularly classic battles. He spent most of his time as Chief of Staff and other positions.
But Marshal Ye has a very good ability. He can always find the key points in a complex environment, and he is never confused when facing major events.
①. In 1935, Marshal Ye’s action saved comrades such as Mao Zedong and others. In June 1935, the First Red Front Army and the First Red Front Army and the Fourth Red Front Army met in Maogong area in northwest Sichuan.
After a research meeting, the two teams were merged into two left and right armies, and then headed north.
Zhang Guotao disagreed with this decision. In order to balance, Zhang Guotao was appointed as the General Political Commissar of the Red Army.
Red Fourth Front Army General Command, becoming the front command of the Red Army . In this front-end command center, Xu Xiangqian served as commander-in-chief, Chen Changhao served as political commissar, and Ye Jianying served as chief of staff.
On September 8, 1935, Zhang Guotao ordered the right army to stop going north and prepare to go south. Is this so great? Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai both gave suggestions, and going south was very harmful. Not only did Zhang Guotao not listen, he also ordered Chen Changhao to lead his troops south.
Ye Jianying saw this telegram. He used his time to use the toilet to show the telegram to Mao Zedong and suggested that he leave quickly. Even after countless experiences, Mao Zedong was still sweating. He knew that the situation was very critical and Zhang was a man who dared to take ruthlessness.
Mao Zedong and others quickly left and headed north with the left army.
This time, it was extremely thrilling. If it weren't for Marshal Ye, I wouldn't dare to imagine it.
After that, Mao Zedong talked about this matter many times: Without Ye Jianying, there would be no one with our heads! He saved the party, the Red Army, and the people of us.
When the meeting was held in September 1962, the opening scene came. Mao Zedong said: Zhuge was cautious all his life, and Lu Duan was not confused about major issues!
Everyone knows that the modern Lu Duan mentioned by Mao Zedong is Marshal Ye.
②. The second major thing happened in 1976
976. Three pillars of the country died. In January, Premier Zhou was Premier Zhou, July was Zhu De, and September was Mao Zedong.
After the death of three great men, the country faces a very complicated situation, and the "group" led by Jiang Qing has caused extraordinary harm to the country. It was the old revolutionary led by Marshal Ye who started a game with the villains and won a great victory, ending the difficult "ten year".
This is a great contribution.
1977, all industries are waiting to be developed. For the sake of the country's development, a heavyweight must lead everyone forward. Who can take on the heavy responsibility? It was not Marshal Ye, nor was it anyone else, but Deng Xiaoping who was rude.
At this moment, Marshal Ye and other older generation revolutionaries supported Deng Xiaoping and restored Deng Gong's party, government and military positions in 1977.
1978, a new era began.At the beginning of this era, who said it had nothing to do with Marshal Ye?
On October 22, 1986, Marshal Ye Jianying passed away at the age of 89. Perhaps, there are not many classic battles commanded by Marshal Ye on the front line, but he can always make the right choice at a critical stage.
is also an appropriate metaphor for teachers: Zhuge was cautious in his life, and Lu Duan was not confused about major issues!
Please remember Ye Jianying's "Lu Duan". His actions at critical moments have affected many people, including the two great men, Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
