In the history of China's feudal dynasty, the relationship between monarch and minister is very intriguing, so it has the implication that monarch and minister are like tigers. Ministers often say: if you want me to live, I will live, and if you want me to die, I will die. Vividly describe the complex relationship between monarch and minister. However, there are always exceptions. In the history of China, some emperors regarded ministers as brothers, friends and even integrated themselves, creating many well-known stories. Next, Bian Xiao will talk to you about the three closest relationships between monarch and minister in the history of China.

Group 1: Song Taizu and Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu was a famous politician in his early years and a founding hero in the Northern Song Dynasty. Born in 922, you Zhou Ji County.

Zhao Pu followed Zhao Kuangyin's expedition to the north very early and became brothers (not brothers of the opposite sex, with the same surname). During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the battle was in the front line, and his father Zhao was seriously ill. Every day, Zhao Pu was busy decocting medicine to serve. Zhao Pu told his family that Zhao Kuangyin and I are brothers, and his father is my father.

After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin treated Zhao Pu with courtesy and appointed him as prime minister. Zhao Pu, on the other hand, can't go into battle to kill the enemy, and his writing style is only rough, so that he has the eternal famous saying that "the Analects of Confucius can rule the world". Zhao Kuangyin took Zhao Pu as his brother and visited Zhao Pu on a snowy day. The monarch and his subjects gathered in the hall of Zhao Pu's house to barbecue and drink. And call Zhao Pu's wife your wife, and don't be shy.

When Song Taizu was in low position, Zhao Pu made friends with him. After winning the world, Zhao Pu talked many times about some shortcomings in their communication. Mao said to Zhao Pu, "If you can identify the son of heaven and the prime minister in the dust, then everyone can visit." From then on, Zhao Pu stopped talking about the past.

Zhao Pu was the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty for three times until he died in Luoyang in 992. Song Taizong was very shocked and sad when he heard the news. He said to the ministers who served him, "Zhao Pu served and assisted the first emperor, and we also had an old friendship. He made a decisive decision and was a little dissatisfied with me before. This is known to many people. Since I acceded to the throne, I have been treating him with great courtesy, and Zhao Pu has done his best to serve my country. He is a real national minister. I am very sorry to lose him. " So he cried bitterly, and the ministers around him were very moved.

The second group: Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi (102 1 year1February 81May 2, 0861day), whose real name is Han nationality, is a famous thinker, politician, writer and reformer in China.

Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi are 28 years apart and have never met. But when Song Shenzong was a prince, he saw Wang Anshi's memorial to Song Renzong and Song Yingzong in the court archives, and he appreciated Wang Anshi's talent and character earlier than he did. So when he became emperor, he called Wang Anshi to the capital and entrusted him with an important task. We hit it off at the first meeting, so that we chatted for too long and missed the time for dinner.

When Wang Anshi was the deputy prime minister to preside over the political reform, there were five people in Zhongshu Province who had the proverb of "dying of illness". This just shows Song Shenzong's love and trust in Wang Anshi. Ceng Gongliang, the prime minister, said helplessly to those who opposed the political reform: "One person with Fu Jie (Wang Anshi) is heaven."

During the reign of Xi Ning, Sima Guang and others framed Wang Anshi, but Song Shenzong even said, "These things were decided by me and had nothing to do with Fu Jie." Helped Wang Anshi take the blame. Wang Anshi was forced to resign by the opposition several times, and Song Shenzong personally wrote to Wang Anshi several times to apologize and retain him. So that the later emperor Qianlong did not say that he was jealous. There was an emperor who bowed his head and apologized to his officials. Wang Anshi is guilty!

1079, Wang Anshi's second strike. Song Shenzong sent a BMW to apologize to Wang Anshi. Song Shenzong died young on 1085. Wang Anshi, who heard the bad news, was heartbroken and died soon.

The third group: Emperor Qianlong and Little Shenyang

(1May 28th, 750-1February 22nd, 799), formerly known as Shanbao, was the owner of Jialetang, Shijiuyuan and Lvye Pavilion, Manchu, a powerful minister and businessman in the middle of Qing Dynasty.

When He Shen first met Gan Long, he was only a third-class bodyguard. But as soon as they hit it off, they soon had a common language. Moreover, He Shen was very clever and sophisticated, and he was very interested in Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong told other ministers more than once that a gentleman is not only his subjects, but also his friends. What is the concept of being a friend of the emperor?

How close was the relationship between Emperor Qianlong and the gentry? Monarchs and ministers often share the same bed and talk about state affairs all night. Emperor Qianlong made many private visits to the palace, accompanied by his husband. Although Xiao Shenyang became a military affairs minister, Gan Long betrothed his daughter to the son of the gentry and formed his children's in-laws. Are people like Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan worthy of this favor?

The gentry took bribes and bought and sold official titles, which the Emperor Qianlong had known for a long time, just out of love and friendship for the gentry, turning a blind eye. 1799 After the death of Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing, who succeeded to the throne, copied He Shen's home and asked him to commit suicide. Therefore, there is a moral in history that a gentleman falls and celebrates his fullness.

But no matter what He Shen did, he and He Shen had a personal relationship with Emperor Qianlong, and no one could compare with him.
