Ancient stories about loyalty

1. Su Wu

Su Wu (Zi Ziqing) in the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wu was a corps commander, went to the Xiongnu. Xiongnu Khan was arrogant, detained him for an excuse, and forced him to surrender, but Su Wu remained unyielding. In the Han Dynasty, the minister Wei Lv went to persuade him, but he was severely reprimanded by Su Wu. The idea that Wei Law rewards Khan, but Khan is forced to surrender is even stronger. He imprisoned Su Wu in the cellar, not with food and drink.

At that time, it was the severe winter, and it was snowing heavily. Su Wu was lying in the cellar, eating snow and felt wool to maintain his life. After a few days, he didn't starve to death. The Huns thought he was a god. Later, Su Wu was moved to the uninhabited North Sea (now Lake Baikal in the Soviet Union), where he was allowed to graze rams, and said that only rams could return if they gave birth to lambs.

When Su Wu arrived in Beihai, the Huns refused to give food, so they had to dig wild rats and grass roots to satisfy their hunger. They held the Han Festival every day when grazing, and they kept their hands day and night. As the years passed, all the ears on the festival fell off.

In the spring of the sixth year of Emperor Zhaodi's reign, Su Wucai returned to Chang 'an, the capital of Han Dynasty, and Emperor Zhaodi made Su Wu pay homage to the Mausoleum of Emperor Wudi with the most solemn ceremony, making him a vassal country. Su Wu was in the Huns * * * for nineteen years, when he was in the prime of life, and when he returned, he was white and bearded.

2. Lu Huaishen

Lu Huaishen, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was incorruptible and frugal, and did not run industries. His clothes and utensils were not luxuriously decorated with precious jade. Although his status was noble, his wife and children were still cold and hungry. The salary and gifts you get are given to friends and relatives without hesitation, and they are given with nothing and soon dispersed. When I went to Dongdu to take charge of the election, I only had a cloth bag with me.

After getting sick, Song Jing and Lu Cong were willing to visit. When they saw that the mat was thin and worn, and there was no curtain hanging on the door, it happened that the wind and rain were blowing, so they raised the mat to cover themselves. It's getting late. There are only two pots of steamed beans and bowls of vegetables. When leaving, Lu Huaishen held hands with the two men and said, "The Lord is eager to achieve great governance in the world. However, he has been in office for a long time and is a little tired of diligence. I am afraid that someone sinister will take the opportunity to be appointed. Remember these words! "

at the time of mourning, no savings were left at home. Xuanzong was about to go to Dongdu at that time. Zhang Xing, a doctor from four schools, said: "Lu Huaishen is loyal and clean, and always lives in an upright way. If he is not given a generous reward, he cannot persuade people to be good." So he gave his family a hundred pieces of fabric and 2 stones of rice millet.

After Xuanzong, he went back and forth to the capital and hunted between Hubei and Du. When he saw that Lu Huaishen's house had a simple and low fence and his family wanted to do something, he sent an envoy to inquire. When the envoy came back, he reported that it was a sacrifice to Daxiang twenty-five months after Lu Huaishen's death. Xuanzong rewarded fine silks and stopped hunting.

When passing Lu Huaishen's tomb, the stone tablet had not yet been erected. Xuanzong stopped to watch and burst into tears. The imperial edict ordered the government to erect a stone tablet for him, and Su Xiang, assistant minister of Chinese calligraphy, drafted the inscription, and Xuanzong wrote it himself.

3. Lyu3 bu4

Lyu3 bu4 was the first valiant warrior in the Three Kingdoms period. However, he first killed his brothers and friends who revolted with him and were brothers. Later, in order to compete for The Story Of Diu Sim, he betrayed his faith and personally killed Dong Zhuo, the adoptive father who was grateful to him.

Lu Bu finally fell into the hands of Cao Cao after betraying his relatives. Cao Cao was originally a talented person, but when he thought of what Lu Bu had done in the past, he was really disloyal. Even if his ability was strong, it would be endless trouble to stay with him, so he died under the arrows.

Guan Yu was also a valiant soldier in the Three Kingdoms period. Although his skill was not as good as that of Lu Bu, his name of loyalty was spread all over the world and respected by people. When Guan Yu was trapped in Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao valued Guan Yu's loyalty and integrity, warmly entertained him and repeatedly retained him, but did not shake Guan Yu's will to keep his promise and stick to integrity.

He didn't betray his vows with his elder brother Liu Bei and his third brother Zhang Fei, and always wanted to return to his elder brother Liu Bei. In Huarong Road, Cao Cao was released in order to repay his kindness. Guan Yu's loyalty is not only to his brothers, but also to his enemies.

Because he was not "loyal", although he was the first valiant soldier in the Three Kingdoms, he eventually died of disorderly swords. Because of his loyalty, Guan Yu won the appreciation and trust of Liu Bei and Cao Cao. The world appreciates Guan Yu's "loyalty", so the Guandi Temple was built.

4. Yue Fei

China was a patriotic strategist in the Southern Song Dynasty and a hero of the Han nationality. The word Peng Ju. Hebei (Song refers to the north of the Yellow River, not the provincial boundary of Henan and Hebei, the same below) is a filial piety in Yonghe Township, Tangyin, Xiangzhou (now tangyin county, Anyang City, Henan Province).

in the first year of Jingkang (1126), he joined the army to resist the gold, and he was bravely promoted to be a righteous man. In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Jin General Wan Yan Zongbi crossed the river to the south. Yue Fei was then under the control of the right army of Jianghuai Xuanfu Mission Department, and led his troops to Guangde (now in Anhui) and Yixing (now in Jiangsu), harassing Jin Jun, winning many times, recovering Jiankang and being promoted to Tongtai Town. In the third year of Shaoxing (1133), the Liu Yu regime supported by Jin sent troops to capture Xiangyang (now Hubei) and other counties. In April of the following year, Yue Fei marched from Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to the north, defeated Liu Yujun and recovered six counties. He was awarded our time to Qingyuan Army for his work.

In the summer of five years, under the orders of Song Ting, Yang Yao peasant rebels in Dongting Lake area were suppressed. In six years, Ren Hu was the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Beijing West Road. dispatch troops surprised Liu Yujun, lured him to attack in Cai Zhou (now Runan, Henan Province) with some troops, and attacked Yiyang (now Songxian, Henan Province) from Xiangyang, recovering large areas of lost land in western Henan and southern Shaanxi.

In seven years, Yue Fei took advantage of the Jin Dynasty's abolition of Liu Yu to put forward dispatch troops's idea of recovering the Central Plains. Later, he repeatedly wrote to oppose peace talks with Jin, which was rejected by Emperor Gaozong and Prime Minister Qin Gui. In ten years, Wan Yan Zongbi broke the contract and went south. According to its general plan of connecting Heshuo to March into the Central Plains, Yue Fei sent his generals to contact the northern rebel army, harassed the rear of the 8 Jin Army, and led his main force northward, greatly defeating the 8 Jin Army in the battle between Yancheng and Yingchang.

Just as Yue Fei was about to cross the river, Emperor Gaozong and Qin Gui begged for peace with Jin, and ordered Song Jun to return to their divisions, which caused Yue Fei's plan to restore the Central Plains to failure. The following year, he returned to Lin 'an, was relieved of the military power, and was granted a Council agreement instead.

On December 29th, he was killed by Emperor Gaozong and Qin Gui on charges of "unwarranted". His son Yue Yunhe and the Ministry Zhang Xian were also killed. Song Xiaozong rehabilitated Yue Fei after he ascended the throne. In the fifth year of Chunxi (1178), he died in Wu Mu. In the fourth year of Jiatai in Song Ningzong (124), the king of Hubei was chased. In the first year of Baoqing in Song Lizong (1225), he became loyal to the military.

5. Tian Heng

After Liu Bang became emperor, Tian Heng refused to submit to the Han Dynasty, and led more than 5 people to flee to the sea and take refuge in the island. After hearing the news, Liu Bang thought that the Tian Heng brothers had already pacified Qi, and most of the wise men of Qi were attached to him. Now, if we want to let him live in the sea without collecting it, I'm afraid there will be disaster in the future. So he sent messengers to pardon Tian Heng's sin and called him into the court.

Then an emissary with Fu Jie was sent to inform Tian Heng of the emperor's instructions to Li Shang, and he said, "If Tian Heng comes to Beijing, he can be crowned king at the largest and Hou at the smallest; If you don't come, you will send troops to kill them. " Tian Heng and his two public servants were forced to go to Luoyang in a stagecoach and committed suicide on the way.

After burying Tian Heng, two men dug a hole next to Tian Heng's tomb, then committed suicide, fell in the hole and followed Tian Heng to die. When Liu Bang heard about it, he was greatly surprised, thinking that Tian Heng's public servants were all talented people. Liu Bang heard that Tian Heng's men still had 5 people on the island, and sent messengers to call them to Beijing. The five hundred guests heard that Tian Heng was dead, and they all committed suicide on the island.
