It is said that once Zhao Pu discovered a talented person. He was very talented, but he was never discovered. So Zhao Pu wrote a report similar to a letter of recommendation to Song Taizu, hoping that Song Taizu would recruit this person to the court as an official.

But after reading Zhao Pu's report, Song Taizu didn't pay much attention, because he had never heard of this person, so he threw the report aside. Zhao Pu saw that the emperor didn't respond, and the next day he wrote a report, which was roughly the same as the previous day, but Song Taizu still disagreed.

So on the third day, Zhao Pu submitted another report, which made Song Taizu very angry. He feels that as an emperor, even a person can't decide whether he can be an official or not. If he doesn't want to use it, he just doesn't want to use it Why does he bother himself again and again? So in front of Zhao Pu, Song Taizu tore up the report and threw it back to Zhao Pu, telling Zhao Pu that he just didn't want to use this person. He just doesn't like it for no reason.

Results On the fourth day, Zhao Pu submitted the report again. Song Taizu thought it was something else, but when he opened it, he found that it was the report he tore up yesterday. Song Taizu was very confused. What is that man's ability to make Zhao Pu so obsessed? Is he a relative?

So I ordered someone to investigate and asked Zhao Pu to introduce himself to this person. Only then did I find out that this person is really a talent, so I agreed to Zhao Pu's recommendation. Later, that man did many things for the court and the country. It was because Zhao Pu risked his life to recommend sages that Song Taizu paid more and more attention to Zhao Pu.

2. Suwu Shepherd

In the first year of Tianhan (BC 100), Su Wu sent a corps commander to the Huns. Unfortunately, just as Su Wu was about to complete his mission and prepare to return to China, Gou Jian of Xiongnu attempted to hijack Khan's mother, E Shi, and John Zhang also participated in this activity. After the incident, Su Wu was implicated and detained in Xiongnu.

At that time, the Xiongnu Khan forced Su Wu to surrender, and he was claustrophobic in the cellar first. Su Wu didn't give in and lived on snow wool. Khan decided to exile Su Wu to Beihai (Baikal region of Siberia) and let him shepherd sheep. "Since you don't surrender, I will let you herd sheep. When these sheep give birth to lambs, I will let you go back to the Central Plains. " Khan only gave him a few rams.

Su Wu held the Han Festival to herd sheep in the snowy Beihai. The only person who accompanied Su Wu was Hanjie, representing the Han Dynasty, and several sheep. Year after year, the oxtail ornaments hung on the envoys fell off, and Su Wu's hair and beard turned white, but Han Jie never left his hand.

Harry is not afraid of powerful people.

On one occasion, all imperial advisers visited the grass-roots units. He is a red man in the hands of the traitor Yan Song. Officials along the way can't miss this opportunity to climb the mountain, and they have received it. As long as the leaders are happy, they don't care how much they spend. Having been engaged in discipline inspection for many years, I am naturally familiar with the official atmosphere.

In order to show his incorruptibility, he sent a notice saying: "This official is simple in nature and doesn't like welcoming guests. Eating and drinking along the way should be frugal, not extravagant and not disturbing the people. " Having said that, everywhere Shi Yu's big brigade went, it was all gone. Harry is worried about going to Chun 'an County.

Chun' an is financially tight and can't afford so much money. If he only has four dishes and one soup to serve, he will definitely be left out in the cold. After thinking for a long time, Harry's plan came to mind. He wrote another book and sent someone to Yan Shiyu. The letter said: You are the most honest official in the world. You went all over the state government, and you didn't increase the local burden.

But now someone is specifically smearing you, saying that wherever you go, "there are banquets everywhere, and each seat is three or four hundred taels of silver, which is extremely gorgeous. Even if you drown, you will use silverware." This makes me very confused. Which is true and which is false? Please make it clear so that I can prepare for the reception.

This sentence is like a slap in the face, and he can't make a sound. He had to explain these rumors and praised Harry. It's just that he simply found an excuse to make a detour on a business trip, so he was not to be taunted and could afford to hide. Integrity, if there is no rounded wisdom, Harry will not talk about his work, I am afraid that a few heads are not enough to kill.

4. Huang Tingjian: "If you have any questions, just say it directly."

After Wang Anshi's political reform in the Song Dynasty, scholars formed two factions, old and new, because they supported or opposed the political reform, and gradually evolved into a party struggle. You sing and I come on stage, one after another, and water and fire are incompatible. Huang Tingjian participated in the compilation of Zong Shenzhi, and was classified as an old party because of his opposition to political reform.

During Song Zhe's reign of Zong Shaosheng, after the new party regained power, he picked out more than a thousand articles in the Record of Gods and accused him of slandering Song Shenzong. Double detention, confinement, a variety of means together. However, no matter how intimidating and tempting, Huang Tingjian refused to admit that he had defamatory remarks. "Whenever he asks questions, he always calls a spade a spade." He didn't bow, fear or give in. His arrogance and awe-inspiring righteousness impressed the literati.

Huang Tingjian will not bow his head and plead guilty, nor will he drag out an ignoble existence with humiliation. So he was hit harder than other old party member, and the ending was more tragic. He first demoted Fuzhou, then Guizhou, then Rongzhou, and then he was removed from the list, kicked out of the cadre team, detained Yizhou, became a prisoner, and finally died in a foreign country.

In the last few years of Huang Tingjian's life, he burned incense and read books relative to the chopping board where cattle were slaughtered, wrote an afterword for his friends with a brush bought with three pence, took getting wet on the city wall as the pleasure of life, and always stood and laughed proudly instead of crying on his knees, even though he was displaced and miserable all his life.

5. Wen Tianxiang: Keep Dan Xin as a historical record.

At the critical juncture of the nation, Wen Tianxiang called on all localities to stand up against the enemy and defend the country to the death. Later, he was defeated and captured and spent three years in prison. During this period, the Yuan Dynasty tried every means to persuade, force and induce Wen Tianxiang to surrender. The number of people who participated in the surrender, the poison of threats and inducements, the generous terms promised and the long waiting time exceeded those of other Steven Song.

Kublai Khan planned to award senior officials prominent positions in Wen Tianxiang. Wang Ji-weng, who had lost the Yuan Dynasty, wrote to Wen Tianxiang, and Wen Tianxiang wrote back: "Guan Zhong is immortal, and his fame is obvious to all; Tianxiang is immortal, and it stinks for a thousand years. " Seeing that he was so determined, Wang Ji-weng dared not persuade him again.

Soon, Kublai Khan ordered preferential treatment to Wen Tianxiang and gave him excellent food. Wen Tianxiang asked someone to tell him: "I haven't eaten official food for several years, and I don't eat it now." Kublai Khan summoned Wen Tianxiang and promised him high positions such as Prime Minister and Tang Ambassador, but he sternly refused and said, "I hope to die!"
