In the first year of the Dali period, Guo Ziyi, who was fighting against Tubo , suddenly heard the news that his father's grave was excavated.
What an insult to dig people’s ancestral graves! This hatred is irreconcilable!
I am fighting to defend the country in the front, but someone digs my ancestral grave in the back. Who would not be disheartened or furious about this matter! Guo Ziyi knew who did the matter.
The eunuch of the dynasty Yu Chaoen , he was in power, but he was afraid that his great military achievements would threaten his position. He had repeatedly fired arrows, but he didn't expect that he would play so much this time.
At that time, Guo Ziyi held heavy troops. Once he was angry and rebelled, Yu Chaoen had the chance to overthrow him.
Even Emperor Daizong of Tang secretly sweated for this matter.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, Guo Ziyi decided to endure it.
He knew that he had made many contributions and had a high prestige among the soldiers. Emperor Daizong of Tang also had some doubts about him.
Yu Chaoen framed herself several times. Although the emperor did not clearly express his belief, he may not leave any doubts in his heart after hearing too much.
This time Yu Chaoen threw a big bomb, and the emperor was also waiting for his reaction to see if he would take the opportunity to make trouble.
If you are angry and rebelling, it will undoubtedly give Yu Chaoen a chance to sanction himself, and the emperor will also stand on the opposite side.
In addition, at this time, Anshi Rebellion had just subsided, the country had just taken a breath, and society had not yet calmed down from the war. If
fights at this time, it will undoubtedly be a worse problem for the people of Chang'an City .
Moreover, Yu Chaoen digs his own ancestral grave as a personal grudge, and using the national forces to avenge personal revenge is not a just act.
It’s better to suppress your anger first and endure it for a moment.
can not only protect themselves, but also let villains put aside their guards and not regard themselves as their main goal;
can also express their feelings to the emperor and the court, and exchange for a more relaxed living environment for themselves and their families.
Return to Chang'an . In the court, facing the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court, Guo Ziyi not only did not get angry, but instead said sincerely with tears:
"I have been leading troops out for a long time to fight, and sometimes soldiers will inadvertently damage the graves of the people. This time my father also encountered such a thing. Maybe it was the punishment given to me by God! Don't blame others."
After hearing his words, Emperor Daizong of Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Chaoen felt that he hit the cotton with a heavy punch, which was a bit ridiculous. The other party can even tolerate digging the ancestral grave. What else can stimulate him?
Since then, this rare villain in the ages has never stumped Guo Ziyi again.
Guo Ziyi's tolerance is not a weakness that allows others to bully, nor is it a cowardice that he dares to face, but a wise choice after weighing the pros and cons, a wise strategy to take the overall situation into consideration, and a powerful force for rationality to overcome temper.
venting a moment of anger and taking revenge is a pleasure, but it may put your own and your whole family's lives in danger;
is better to be more arrogant and have a far-sighted attitude, not to compete with villains, and not to be more entangled in temporary resentment.
A villain like Yu Chaoen is a pawn used by the emperor to restrict various forces. There is no need to take revenge. If you do evil deeds, you will die.
At the immature time, there is no need to waste the manpower and material resources to block the attack.
Guo Ziyi's word "tolerance" has been used until he was 80 years old.
His contribution was too great, and the emperor could not let go, so he was worried that he would seize power and rebel one day.
In order to make the emperor doubt himself, his life practices the word "forbearance" everywhere:
"tolerance" the pursuit of military power, and hand over military power every time he wins a battle, and never drags on the mud;
"tolerance" the pursuit of status, repeatedly refuses the rewards of Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty, without any nostalgia;
"tolerance" the pursuit of reputation, the beauties, jewelry, and brocade given by colleagues all come, creating a greedy and lustful personality, and only ask others to let go of their guard.
Guo Ziyi's "tolerance" has made him a legend in his life.
"Old Book of Tang Dynasty Biography of Guo Ziyi" says that he, "The power is dominant in the world but the court is not jealous, the merits are overwhelming but the master is not doubtful, and the extravagant and the gentleman is not guilty."
His patience, he endured Yu Chaoen, and he endured the fourth emperor of Ruizong, Xuanzong, Suzong, and Daizong. He died of illness until he was 85 years old and was able to die well.
Tang Dezong respected him as the Grand Marshal, gave him the title of "Shangfu", and was dismissed for five days and buried him next to Suzong's tomb.
, which seemed to suffer losses, made him the last profiter.
Patience is a kind of keeping a low profile, tempering oneself, accumulating strength, and making the heart stronger;
Patience is a kind of cultivation, and there is no need to worry about the occasional offense of others, and the tranquility brought by open-mindedness is what the heart wants;
Patience is a pattern, and only by not caring about the gains and losses in front of you can push life to a higher and farther goal.
Learn to be patient, and we can also become better selves.
