However, Chen Tang is also a talent. He is ambitious, talented, flexible and adventurous, but his heart is never just. He just wants to get ahead. As a result of poor family since childhood, forced by life, misconduct, stealing chickens and dogs. In modern terms, Chen Tang's father is a gambler, and he won't stop when he loses to his family. Chen Tang went begging with a bowl before graduating from junior high school. He often dresses up as a harmless and lovely person and animal and does some stealing in Shili Baxiang. Although his reputation is almost stinking, he doesn't want to starve to death.
God did not give him a happy family, but gave him a shrewd mind. Chen Tang did not forget to read and write while begging, and even taught himself to write articles. He formed his own philosophy of survival very early: how bold people are, how productive the land will be! Chew for three days without a bite!
He has been growing up crazily on the edge of morality and survival. When the chickens and dogs in the village were on the verge of extinction, Chen Tang was driven out by enthusiastic villagers with sticks. At that time, Beijing hukou was worthless, so he went to Chang 'an by train.
The most important thing in Chang 'an is poor diaosi, but Chen diaosi has three advantages: vivid brain, good eloquence and great courage. After staying in the west for several years, Chen Tang made many friends. No one here knows about his poverty in his hometown, but now some people appreciate his talent.
Fuping Hou is one of them. This dude and monk Chen, both pure grass roots, are almost two species, but they have aroused a cross-class feeling. The so-called fate and noble people are always around you, but most people can't activate them.
A few years later, Emperor Han Yuan asked his ministers to introduce special talents to the court, and Jaco was the first person to recommend Chen Tang. Shang Chen was very excited. He will soon become a man of status. He can eat pancake fruit with two eggs. But at this critical moment, his father passed away.
Chen Tang didn't go home to be filial, and the court was very angry when he learned that. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, Li Yi Ren, compiled by Dong Zhongshu, has long been listed as a compulsory course in primary schools. It governs the world with filial piety, implements the system of respecting filial piety and saving righteousness, and values virtue over talent. It has become more and more extreme in filial piety, even for three years. Failure to observe filial piety means that the moral level is not good, and if morality is not good, it cannot be used. Those people think, how can Shang Chen be an unfilial person? How does he deserve to be a civil servant? As a result, Chen Tang's job was ruined, and Jaco was also fined for a pay cut. It was not long before he died.
After two years, the Huns killed the messenger of the Han Dynasty and went there three times without finding the body back. Zhi Zhi Khan proudly said, "I am really poor and have no food. I also want to enter the DPRK, but I really can't afford a ticket. "
Xiongnu slapped the Han Dynasty, but the leaders couldn't find anyone to take the job. Someone recommended Chen Tang as an ambassador. With his talent, he can certainly repair the friendly relations with the Huns. The imperial court also forgot the stubble of that year and sent Gan Yanshou to the Western Regions with Shang Chen.
Shang Chen always climbs high and overlooks all the way. Gan Yanshou thought that he was pretending to be a poet, and advised him not to be forced, lest he be shot dead by the cold arrows of the Huns. In fact, Shang Chen is looking for the Huns!
He couldn't choose his background, and was forced to behave badly by life. But he is brave and resourceful, and wants to seize the opportunity to make contributions. His heart was never just. He just wants to get ahead and improve his life.
Chen Tang was very excited, but he didn't know that the strong desire for salted fish to turn over for many years began his mixed fate ups and downs in this long journey.
Chen Tang said: "Small countries in the western regions bully the weak and fear the hard. If Zhi Zhi Khan stays here for two years, I'm afraid we'll have to get passports if we want to travel in the future. It is better to mobilize the officers and men in the wasteland to take the opportunity to kill the Xiongnu, which not only shows the majesty of the big man, but also achieves our Millennium achievements. " Gan Yanshou said: "Although the method is good, we are messengers of peace. Shall we ask the court first? " Chen Tang said, "Why not ask for instructions? We paid a month's travel expenses in advance. When the court finishes the seminar, I'm afraid we can only beg. " Gan Yanshou said, "Oh, my head hurts. I'll sleep for a while. "
Chen Tang is very courageous! Under the guise of the emperor's orders, he incited the troops and officers and men of small countries in the western regions with a few words. Gan Yanshou was so scared that he fell out of bed. He quickly found Shang Chen and warned him that he would not die unless he died.
Chen Tang respected the leader very much and pointed his sword at Gan Yanshou directly: "The troops have been assembled. Do you want to ruin everyone's business? " Gan Yanshou had to negotiate tactics and parted ways with the 40,000 Han army and Hu Bing.
I happened to meet a robbery team in Kangju County. With the support of the Huns, they arrested more than 1000 people in Sun Dawu and robbed many sows. Chen Shang's robbery team returned from World War I returned all the prisoners they wanted to eat to King Sun Dawu, leaving all the livestock behind.
Chen Tang once again persuaded a well-off aristocrat with rhetoric. Under the leadership of the vanguard troops, they entered the well-off country along the path, marched in haste, and camped 30 miles away from Chanyu City. Khan thought that the Han army came by train, which was very fast and had not occupied Kangju.
Chen Tang said, "The boss pities you for begging outside. I heard that you are going to enter the DPRK and have no money to buy tickets. We have come to meet you and your ancestors for 18 generations. "
Hun emissaries have been here several times, and each time they said that Khan was contacting the moving company.
Chen Tang was furious: "We ran into half a big man to pick you up, but nobody paid attention to him at the gate for several days. If you don't clean up soon, we won't have money to eat. "
The Xiongnu messenger brought another sentence: "We talked alone and didn't eat at home!"
Shang Chen, this is called enemy before enemy. He has shown the tolerance of a big fellow, and he will do it next. He ordered a siege on all sides, then dug a ditch, blocked the gate, set it on fire and other tricks. Huns are used to guerrilla warfare and have never seen the routine of siege. Scared hundreds of Huns to escape on the spot, all of them were dried to death.
Zhi Zhi also wanted to escape, but he heard that Shang Chen had joined forces with western countries and cut off his retreat. Zhi Zhi also fantasized that the Han army had come from afar and should not be able to fight a protracted war, so he stuck to the city and dragged them to death.
Zhi Zhi is confident in his long-range attack. He took dozens of wives upstairs to shoot arrows. As a result, a dozen wives were shot and an arrow hit their noses. In a fit of pique, he put on a handful of white earth honey from Qinling Mountain, which I heard would not leave a scar.
Zhi Zhi stayed in the city until the Han army smashed the wall and killed it. In this battle, Shang Chen killed 1500 nobles and captured nearly 2000 people. Poor Zhi Zhi Khan was beheaded as soon as he cured his nose.
Chen Tang sent a telegram to the imperial court. There was a sentence in the telegram: "It is advisable to hang the barbarian mansion in Toucha Street to show Wan Li that those who commit crimes against Han will be punished even if they are far away." At this point, Uhaanyehe became the son-in-law of the big fellow (see Zhao Jun, a white man in Qinling Mountains), and his head was exhibited in the Western Regions.
The humiliating history and passive situation of the Huns in the Western Han Dynasty for hundreds of years have been changed, but what followed was very bloody.
Shixian wanted to marry his sister to Gan Yanshou, but Lao Gan thought the bride price was too high and disagreed. Shi Xian has always hated Gan Yanshou. When Shang Chen was a child, he was afraid of poverty, and the Huns took a lot of trophies, which made Kuang Heng very unhappy.
Chen Tang had been preparing his speech on his way home, and as a result, he was put in prison as soon as he arrived in Beijing. Because Shixian and Kuang Heng said to the emperor, "These two men mobilized troops under the guise of imperial edict, and ministers followed suit. What if they learn badly?" This hole won't open. "
Boss Liu is very entangled. Gan Yanshou and monk Chen contributed a lot, but Kuang Heng and Shi Xian were right. Think again. As a result, I thought about it all night and woke up the next day and forgot. Shang Chen is still revising his speech in prison.
Liu Xiang said to the emperor, "These two men risked their lives to destroy the Xiongnu, to make the Great Man famous again and to revive the Western Regions. Not only were their great achievements not rewarded, but they were also put in prison. Is there any justice for big people? " Gan Yanshou and monk Chen were released.
Shang Chen took out a crumpled speech, but it was blocked. There were 300 families in the food city, and he was in a hurry to take the post of captain. Just looking at this reward, people who don't know think he saved several women from the street shampoo room.
Kuang Heng's teeth itch at the thought of Shang Chen's corrupt income. When Emperor Cheng of Han reached the summit, he went to talk about it again: Shang Chen pretended to be the emperor, coveting the property of comfortable residence, which was unworthy of being an official, and so on. As a result, Shang Chen was dismissed from his post.
Chen Tang took the initiative to spread rumors that the Prince Kang Ju Wang gave to the Han Dynasty was an impostor. He wanted to remind the new boss not to forget his contribution, but Emperor Xian of Han really thought that the prince was a fake. After investigation, it was found that the prince was fine, and Chen Tang was ordered to be executed for cheating the monarch.
Someone came to plead: "In those days, Chen Tang broke through the three-story wall, killed Hun Khan, and washed away the humiliation of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years. When I came back, I was put in prison. Later, I was rewarded in a hurry. Now I want to kill him. Aren't you afraid that people who have made contributions to the country will get cold? "
So Emperor Han Chengdi released Chen Tang, but when he cut off his title, Chen Tang became clear and bare again.
A few years later, the capital of the Western Regions was besieged by Wu Guo Sun, and Duan turned to the court for help. Ministers chattered on and on, unable to think of a way. Someone called out Shang Chen's name. Chen Tang was invited to the court. When he destroyed Zhi Zhi, he suffered from rheumatism. At this time, his arm can no longer bend.
Chen Tang said: "They are wise men who understand things. I am too weak to discuss such a big event. " Knowing that Chen Tang was unhappy, Emperor Han Chengdi said, "The country is in trouble, so don't be melodramatic." Chen Tang said, "There is no need for a meeting on this small matter." Emperor Han Chengdi: "Why?" Chen Tang: "Wu is a rabble. They can't beat the old section. Even if the imperial court sends troops now, it will be cold in the western regions. If nothing happens, the meeting will be over, and there will be good news in less than five days. "
Four days later, the Vietnamese army reported that Wu's had dispersed.
Emperor Han Chengdi was very happy to let Shang Chen decide the major military affairs. Shang Chen is really talented, but he just can't control these hands. He has no priority in making money and is courageous.
He put in a good word for Wang Mang, and Wang Mang became a new capital Hou. He got 50 Jin of gold and a fief for Gou Jian's son. The satrap Zhang Kuang was found to be corrupt, and Shang Chen received 2 million yuan to solve it. .....
Emperor Han Chengdi built a mausoleum for himself. Chen Tang and chief engineer Xie Wannian think this project can make money. He tricked the emperor into developing the new Changling area and repairing the mausoleum, and moved all the rich people in the country. This can not only generate income for the imperial court, but also weaken local power. He is willing to set an example and take the lead in moving into the new district.
Emperor Han Chengdi felt very good, so he ordered the construction of affordable housing in Changling New District to resettle the relocated people. Xie Wannian first built a luxury villa for Shang Chen, which was quite luxurious. In fact, the new area chosen by Chen Tang is not suitable for repairing tombs. He just wants to make money.
The new area project has not been completed for three years, and many ministers have requested that the mausoleum be built in the old area, so as not to waste people and money. As a result, Changling New District stopped working, and many real estate speculators held a wait-and-see attitude. When Shang Chen thought that his luxury villa was about to be completed, he spread rumors everywhere that the project would be completed sooner or later, and God would not violate it.
Emperor Han Cheng was very angry and sent Shang Chen to Dunhuang. Before long, the Dunhuang satrap couldn't stand it. He said to the emperor: "Chen Tang killed a wise man before, and his reputation in the western regions is higher than your boss." Get him out of here quickly, or the person who wants to sign will blow up the office building. "
The emperor had to let Chen Tang settle down, and someone complained for him: "Chen Tang's contribution is not comparable to many people, but his fault is human nature." Do you really want him to die in exile and be laughed at by future generations? "
Chen Tang returned to Chang 'an again and died soon (the date of birth and death is unknown). After Wang Mang came to power, he was grateful for Chen Tang's old kindness. He thought that the reward given to him before was too thin, so he added Chen Tang to break huzhuang Hou.
If Chen Tang's life were richer, he would not be too greedy, and his career and fame would be more perfect. However, Chen Tang, who was not forced by life, still had the courage to falsely spread the imperial edict of the Huns. Without the courage to fight to the death, how can you be an official?
The so-called personality and destiny are so interlocking!
For example, some people here shirk that it is wrong to say that the country is incompetent, the monarch is unmeasured, and it is not timely to meet an unknown master. Chen Tang repeatedly violated taboos, condescended, faked imperial edicts and accepted bribes. In order to make money, he did not hesitate to fabricate all kinds of rumors. You can do whatever you want without making a great contribution. If you do this, the world will be in chaos. Shang Chen made so many mistakes that he was released and reused many times. He should blame himself. He really can't control his hands. He was too greedy and offended many people. His miserable life is largely caused by his own character. If his conduct is a little better and he pays more attention to interpersonal relationships, he may become another Wei Qing and be admired by the world.
