In his early years, he took his father's shadow as his own lang and moved to the stable prison slightly.
In the first year of Tianhan (before 100), I worshipped the corps commander.
At that time, the relationship between the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains and the Xiongnu, a minority regime in the northwest, was good and bad.
In BC 100, the Xiongnu regime Sinkhan ascended the throne. In order to show friendship, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Su Wu to Xiongnu with 100 people and many possessions.
Unexpectedly, when Su Wu completed his mission and prepared to return to China, civil strife broke out in the upper Huns, and Su Wu and his party were implicated, detained and asked to betray the Han Dynasty and submit to Khan.
At first, Khan sent someone to lobby Su Wu, promising him a generous salary and high officials, but Su Wu flatly refused.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, the Huns decided to use an ascetic monk.
It was winter and it was snowing heavily.
Khan ordered Su Wu to be locked in an open cellar, without food and water, hoping that this would change Su Wu's faith.
Over time, Su Wu was tortured in the cellar.
When he was thirsty, he ate a handful of snow. When he is hungry, he will chew the sheepskin jacket he wears.
After several days, Su Wu, who was dying, still refused to give in and had to let Su Wu out.
Khan knew that there was no hope of persuading Su Wu to surrender, but he respected Su Wu's integrity more and more, didn't have the heart to kill Su Wu, and didn't want him to return to his own country, so he decided to exile Su Wu to Siberia's Baikal region and let him shepherd sheep.
Before he left, Khan summoned Su Wu and said, "Since you don't surrender, I'll let you go herding sheep. When the ram gives birth to a lamb, I will let you go back to the Central Plains. "
After being separated from his companions, Su Wu was exiled to the inaccessible Lake Baikal.
Here, you can't escape on your own.
The only people who accompanied Su Wu were the ambassador stick representing the Han Dynasty and a small flock of sheep.
Su Wu used this ambassador stick to herd sheep every day, thinking that one day he could bring it back to his own country.
In this way, day after day, year after year, all the ornaments on the ambassador's stick fell off, and Su Wu's hair and beard turned white.
In Lake Baikal, Suwu herded sheep for nineteen years.
For more than ten years, Khan, the Xiongnu who ordered his imprisonment, has passed away. Even in Su Wu, the old emperor died and his son succeeded to the throne.
At that time, Xin Khan carried out the policy of reconciliation with the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately sent envoys to take Su Wu back to his own country.
Su Wu was warmly welcomed in Han Dynasty, and all the people from the emperor paid tribute to this hero who was rich in national integrity.
More than two thousand years have passed, and Su Wu's lofty integrity has become a model of China's ethical personality and a national cultural psychological factor.
Stories related to Su Wu
Su Wuzi was self-cleaning. When he was young, with his father's position, all three brothers became the attendants of the emperor and were gradually promoted to be officials in charge of the hunting tools of the emperor's pommel horse.
At that time, the Han court continued to crusade against the Huns and sent envoys to spy on each other many times.
Xiongnu detained and waited for more than a dozen Chinese envoys.
Xiongnu envoys came, and Han Ting also detained them to offset them.
In 100 BC, Zhong just proclaimed himself emperor and was afraid of being attacked by Han, so he said, "Han emperor is my elder." These cultural relics were returned to Lu, the messenger of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty praised him for his understanding, so he sent Su Wu as a corps commander to escort the Xiongnu emissary stranded in Han to return home, and gave him a generous gift to thank him for his kindness.
Su Wu and deputy corps commander John Zhang, temporary special envoy Chang Hui, and 100 infantry and reconnaissance personnel.
When I arrived in Xiongnu, I dedicated my belongings to Khan.
Khan's arrogance is not what Han expected.
Khan was about to send messengers to escort Su Wu and others back to Han, which coincided with the rebellion of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and Changshui people among the Huns.
Zhou Wang's sister Gou Jian's son went to Han with Zhou Wang, and then returned with Zhuo Yehou Zhao Ponu. Among those who surrendered under Wei Law, E Shi, the mother who planned to kidnap Khan, returned to Han.
Just met Su Wu and others to the Huns.
When Yu Chang was in the Han Dynasty, he kept in contact with Zhang Shengyou, the deputy envoy, and visited him privately, saying, "I heard that Emperor Gaozu hated Wei Law very much, so I could always ambush the crossbow for the Han Dynasty and shoot him.
My mother and brother are both in Han, hoping to be taken care of by Han Ting. "John Zhang promised him and gave the property to Yuchang.
After more than a month, Khan went out hunting, and only E Shi and Khan's children were at home.
More than 70 people, including Yu Chang, started an uprising. One of them ran away at night and reported their plans to E Shi and his children.
Khan's children sent troops to fight against him, and King Gou Jian died. I am often captured alive.
Khan sent a health court in this case.
John Zhang heard the news and worried that what he and Yu Chang said privately would be exposed, so he told Su Wu what had happened.
Su Wu said, "If things come to this, we will definitely be dragged into trouble.
Die of humiliation, more sorry for the country! "So want to commit suicide.
John Zhang and Chang Hui stopped him together.
For John Zhang, danger always exists.
Khan was furious and called many nobles to discuss and wanted to kill the Han ambassador.
Zuo Yi's way: "If you kill people, what stricter criminal law is used?" They should all be told to surrender. "Khan sent Wei Lv called Su Wu to stand trial.
Su Wu said to Chang Hui: "If you lose your integrity and disgrace your mission, even if you are alive, how can you have the face to return to the cold pavilion!" With that, he pulled out his knife and committed suicide. Willep was surprised. He hugged Su Wu and sent for the doctor on a fast horse.
The doctor dug a hole in the ground, lit a small fire in the hole, and then put Su Wu face down on the hole, patting him on the back to let the blood flow out.
Su Wu was dead, and it took a long time to breathe again.
Chang Hui and others cried, pulling Su Wu back to camp with the car.
Khan admired Su Wu's moral integrity, sent someone to ask Su Wu in the morning and evening, and arrested and imprisoned John Zhang.
Su Wu's injury is improving.
Khan sent messengers to inform Su Wu that they came to the trial hall together, hoping to take this opportunity to make Su Wu surrender.
After the sword killed Yu Chang, Wei Lv said, "John Zhang, an envoy of the Han Dynasty, murdered a minister who was closely related to Khan and should be put to death.
Forgive those who surrender. "Sword kill John Zhang, John Zhang request to surrender.
Wei Lu said to Su Wu, "The deputy envoy is guilty and should sit with you." Su Wu said, "I didn't participate in the planning, and I'm not his relative. How can we talk about sitting together? " Lv Wei once again raised his sword at Su Wu, and Su Wu remained motionless.
Wei Lv said, "Su Jun! I turned my back on the Han Dynasty and surrendered to the Huns. Fortunately, Khan gave me a knighthood and made me king. Running all over the mountain with tens of thousands of slaves, horses and other livestock, how rich! Soviets, you surrender today and tomorrow.
Fertilize the grass with your body for nothing, and who knows you! "Su Wu didn't respond.
Wei Law said, "If you surrender after me, I will be your brother." If you don't listen to my arrangement today, will you have a chance to see me later? "
Su Wu lambasted Wei Law, saying, "You are a servant and son of others. You betrayed the emperor, abandoned your relatives and became a surrendered slave in a foreign country, regardless of benevolence and righteousness. Why should I see you? Besides, Khan trusted you to decide other people's lives, but you were unfair and didn't uphold justice. Instead, you want to make Emperor Xian of Han and Xiongnu stand against each other and watch the disasters and losses of the two countries! The king of South Vietnam killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and as a result, nine counties were pacified.
Kill the ambassador and hang his head at the north gate.
The king of South Korea killed the messenger of the Han Dynasty and was immediately reconciled.
Only the Huns escaped.
You know perfectly well that I will never surrender and try to make Han and Xiongnu attack each other.
The disaster of Xiongnu's demise will begin with me! "Lv Wei know Su Wu, after all, not coercion to surrender, report the khan.
Khan wanted him to surrender more and more, so he imprisoned Su Wu in a big cellar and didn't give him anything to drink or eat.
When it snowed, Su Wu lay chewing the snow and swallowed it with felt wool to satisfy his hunger. He would not die for several days.
Huns thought it was amazing, so they moved Su Wu to a deserted place near Beihai, and let him graze the ram, saying that he would give it back to Han after the ram gave birth to a lamb.
At the same time, his subordinates and his entourage Chang Hui were placed in other places.
After Su Wu moved to Beihai, the grain could not be sent out, so he had to dig out the wild fruits stored by the wild rats to eat.
He leans on Jeff in the cold pavilion to graze the sheep, and holds them when he sleeps and gets up, so that the yak tail hair tied to his joints can be taken off.
Five or six years later, Khan's younger brother Wang Yu went hunting in Beihai.
Sue weaves nets and corrects crossbows. Yu Wang values him very much and provides him with clothes and food.
More than three years later, Yu Wang fell ill and gave Su Wu horses and livestock, clay pots for wine and cheese, and dome felt tents.
After the king died, all his men moved away.
This winter, Ding stole cattle and sheep from Su Wu, and Su Wu fell into poverty again.
At first, Su Wu and Li Ling served as attendants.
In the second year of Su Wu's mission to Xiongnu, Li Ling surrendered to Xiongnu and was afraid to see Su Wu.
After a long time, Khan sent Li Ling to Beihai to arrange banquets and songs and dances for Su Wu.
Li Ling took the opportunity to say to Su Wu, "Khan heard that I have always had a deep friendship with you, so he sent me to advise you to be honest with you.
After all, you can't go back to this dynasty and suffer in a deserted place for nothing. How can we show our trust in Han Ting? At that time, your eldest brother Su Jia was a captain in a car, followed the emperor to the Yong Palace, helped the emperor's car down the steps of the temple, hit a pillar, broke the axle, was convicted of blasphemy, drew his sword and committed suicide, but gave him 2 million yuan to be buried with him.
Your brother Ruqing followed the emperor to sacrifice to the land god of Hedong, and the eunuch riding a horse competed with Xu for a boat and pushed Xu into the river and drowned him.
The eunuch on horseback escaped.
The emperor ordered Ruqing to kill him, but he couldn't catch him. He committed suicide for fear of taking poison.
When I left Chang 'an, your mother had died and I was sent to Yangling.
Your wife is still young. I heard that she has remarried, and there are only two sisters, two daughters and a boy at home. Now more than ten years have passed, and life and death are unknown.
Life is like morning dew, why torture yourself for a long time! When I first surrendered, if I lost things all day, I would go crazy. I feel sorry for Han Ting. My mother was detained in Baogong. How could you be more reluctant to surrender than I was then? Moreover, the emperor is old, the law changes at any time, the minister is innocent, and more than a dozen families have been killed. Security is unpredictable.
Who else are you going to keep this festival for? I hope you will take my advice and stop talking! "
Su Wu said, "My father and son, Su Wu, have no merit or kindness. They were all trained and promoted by the emperor. Their official positions were promoted to the rank of liejiang, and their titles were tonghou. The three brothers are all close ministers of the emperor and are often willing to sacrifice everything for the court.
Now I have the opportunity to sacrifice myself to serve my country, even if I am executed by an axe and soup, I am willing.
A minister's loyalty to the king is like a son's loyalty to his father, and his son died for his father. There is nothing to hate. I wish you would stop talking about it! "
After drinking with Su Wu for a few days, Li Ling said, "You must listen to me." Su Wu said, "I knew I was dead! Khan must force me to surrender, so please end today's joy and let me die in front of you! " Seeing that Su Wu was so sincere to the imperial court, Li Ling sighed, "Ah, the righteous! I, Li Ling and Wei Law, have sinned against heaven! " Said the tears dc, soaked the skirt, bid farewell to Su Wu.
Li Ling was embarrassed to give Su Wu a gift in person and asked his wife to give dozens of cattle and sheep to Su Wu.
Later, Li Ling went to Beihai and said to Su Wu, "A prisoner in Yunzhong County was caught on the border, saying that all the officials and people below the prefect were in mourning and that the emperor was dead." Su Wu heard the news, facing south, tears streaming down her face, vomiting blood, crying for months every morning and evening.
Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and a few years later, Xiongnu and Han reached a peace agreement.
Hanting looked for Su Wu and others, and Xiongnu lied that Su Wu was dead.
Later, the Han envoy went to Xiongnu again, and Chang Hui asked the guards to accompany him. At night, he met an envoy of the Han nationality and truthfully told the story of his stay in Xiongnu for several years.
Ask the ambassador to tell him, "The son of heaven shot geese in the forest garden and said that Su Wu and others were in Beihai." Han emissary was very happy, so he asked Khan according to the method Chang Hui taught him.
Khan looked at the people around him and was very surprised. He apologized to Ambassador China and said, "Su Wu and others are really alive." So Li Ling arranged a banquet to congratulate Su Wu, saying, "Today, you have returned to China, made a name for yourself among the Huns, and made great achievements in the royal neutrality of the Han Dynasty.
Even if the deeds recorded in ancient history books and the characters painted in pictures, how can they surpass you! Although I am incompetent and timid in Liling, if Han Ting forgives my sins and doesn't kill my mother, I can realize my long-cherished wish under great shame, which may be similar to Cao Mo's engagement in Yike, and I will never forget it! Arresting and killing my family has become a great shame in the world. What should I care about? Forget it, just let you know my heart! I became a foreigner, and this farewell was cut off! "Li Ling danced and sang," I crossed Wan Li, crossed the desert, led troops for the king and fought against the Huns.
The road was cut off, the sword and arrow were destroyed, and all the soldiers were killed. My reputation has been ruined.
My mother died, although I want to repay you! "Li Ling shed tears, so she said goodbye to Su Wu.
Khan told Su Wu's men, in addition to those who had surrendered and died before, nine others had been following Su Wu back.
In the spring of the sixth year of Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty (8 1 BC), Su Wu returned to Chang 'an.
Emperor Zhao ordered Su Wu to visit the mausoleum and temple of Emperor Wu with sacrifices.
Appointed Su Wu as a vassal country with a salary of 2,000 stone; Give two million, two hectares of official land, and a residence.
Chang Hui, Xu Sheng and Zhao Zhonggen were all the emperor's guards, and each of them gave two hundred silks.
The other six, who are old, go home and give each of them money, free from corvee for life.
Chang Hui later became a right general and was named a Liehou. He has a biography himself.
Su Wu was imprisoned in Xiongnu for 19 years, and his beard and hair were all white when he came back.
In the second year of Su Wu's return to Han Dynasty, Shangguan Jie and Zi 'an rebelled with Prince Sang Hongyang and Gaizhu, and Su Yuan, the son of Su Wu, was executed for participating in Shangguan's conspiracy.
At first, Shangguan Jie, Shangguan 'an and General Huo Guang fought for power and profit. Shangguan Jie and his son wrote down Huo Guang's fault many times and gave it to the prince, who told him to report Huo Guang to the emperor.
It is also said that Su Wu went to the Huns for twenty years and did not surrender. After he returned to the Han Dynasty, he became a typical country.
And the general's long history didn't make any contribution, but he was promoted to search for a surname, and Huo Guang was autocratic.
When the prince and others rebelled and were killed, they tracked down their associates. Su Wu, Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang have always been old friends. The prince wrote several times because of his martial arts, and his son took part in the rebellion. The prison official wrote a letter demanding the arrest of Su Wu.
Huo Guang put the throne of the supervisor on hold, and only removed Su Wu from his post.
A few years later, Emperor Zhao died.
Su Wu, as a former 2000 stone official, participated in the plan to establish Xuan Di, and awarded him a knighthood and 300 restaurants.
After a long time, Zhang Anshi, the general of Wei, recommended Su Wu Tongda to read allusions, and his mission was worthy of your life. Emperor Zhao's last words talked about these two advantages of Su Wu.
Emperor Xuandi called Su Wu to the yamen for an edict.
After many visits, I became a country in Youcao.
Because Su Wu is an old minister with remarkable moral integrity, he only enters the DPRK on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and is regarded as a highly respected "wine sacrifice", which is very good for him.
Su Wu gave all the rewards he got to his younger brother Su Xian and his former neighbors, leaving no property at home.
The Queen's father Ping En Hou, Xuan Di's uncles Pingchang Hou and Lechang Hou, General Han Zeng, Prime Minister Wei Xiang and ancient adviser Bing Ji all respected Su Wu.
Su Wu was old, and his son had been executed before, so the emperor took pity on him.
Ask people around: "Su Wu has been in Xiongnu for a long time. Does he have a son? " Su Wu stated to Emperor Xuandi through Ping En Hou: "In the past, when Xiongnu was sent, the married Xiongnu woman had just given birth to a son named Guo Tong. It is said that she wants to redeem the boy by sending gold, silver and silk through the Han messenger. " The emperor agreed.
Later, Guo Tong returned to the Han Dynasty with the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor made him a Langguan.
And let Su Wu's younger brother's son be the right Cao.
Su Wu lived to be in his eighties and died in the second year of Emperor Xuandi (the first 60 years).
