Before the first emperor started his business, the middle road collapsed. Today he scored three points, and Yizhou was exhausted. This is a crucial autumn. But the guards worked tirelessly at home, and those who were loyal to their ambitions forgot to be outside, covering up the special experience of the former emperor and wanting to report to your majesty. Sincerely, it is advisable to open a holy court, with the honor of the late emperor and the spirit of the people. It is not advisable to belittle yourself, quote wrong words, and block the way of advice from loyal ministers.
In the palace, everything is an organic whole and should not be punished or denied. If there are criminals who are honest and kind, they should be rewarded by this department to show your majesty's understanding, and you should not favor one over the other, making the internal and external laws different.
Shi Zhong, Assistant Minister Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc. , are honest and sincere, are based on the advice of the first emperor left your majesty. Fools think that everything in the palace, big or small, should be discussed, and then implemented, which will make up for the vacancy and make a lot of profits.
General Xiang Chong, good character, good military. He tried it in the past, and the first emperor called it energy, which was supervised by the public. Fools think that knowing the situation of the camp and consulting them will definitely make the front line harmonious, and the advantages and disadvantages will be found.
Pro-sages, far villains, this first Han is so prosperous; You little people, far from being wise ministers, have been so depressed in the Han Dynasty ever since. When the late Emperor was around, every time I talked to the minister about it, I always sighed and hated Yu Huan and Ling. Shi Zhong, Shang Shu, Chang Shi, joined the army. I know that I am the minister of Zhenliang's death sacrifice. I hope your majesty personally believes that the Han Dynasty is prosperous, and I can wait.
I'm dressed in cloth and devoted myself to Nanyang. I risked my life in troubled times and didn't ask Wen Da to be a vassal. The first emperor didn't treat his ministers with meanness, and his accusation was self-defeating. He took care of his ministers in the thatched cottage and was grateful for what had happened in this world, so he promised the first emperor to drive him away. After the boat capsized, I was appointed as the defeated army and was ordered to face danger. I have been here for twenty years.
The first emperor knew that I was cautious, so he sent me to be a minister in case of collapse. Since I was appointed, I have been sighing all night, fearing that my entrustment will not work, so as to hurt my knowledge. Therefore, Luzhou in May was deserted. Now that the south is settled, there is enough armor. Authorized by the three armies, the north settled in the central plains, the arrogance was completely destroyed, the traitors were completely eliminated, and the Han Dynasty was revived, still in the old capital. The minister was therefore loyal to His Majesty and the first emperor. As for profit and loss, if you keep your word, you will be willing to do so.
May your majesty entrust the effect of bringing the dead back to life to the minister, and if it doesn't work, punish the minister severely and tell the spirit of the first emperor. If there are no words to promote virtue, blame you for being slow to show its blame; Your majesty also requires himself, seeks advice from others, treats others with courtesy, and pursues the posthumous edict of the first emperor. I am very grateful.
Stay away from it today, crying, I don't know what to say.
Writing background:
22 1 year, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and Zhuge Liang became prime minister. In 223 AD, Liu Bei died and entrusted Liu Chan to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang implemented a series of correct political and economic measures, which made the territory of Shu and Han prosperous. In order to achieve national unity and pacify the rebellion in the south, Zhuge Liang decided to explore Wei in the north in 227, intending to seize Chang 'an of Wei. Before he left, he wrote to the master, urging him to be open and honest, to be strict in rewards and punishments, and to be virtuous and far-reaching, so as to revive the Han Dynasty. At the same time, I also express my loyalty to my country. This is a model. The model is selected from The History of the Three Kingdoms Shu Shu and Zhuge Liang Chuan.
Before leaving for Wei, Zhuge Liang wrote a letter to the late ruler Liu Chan. With sincere words, this paper persuades him to inherit the legacy of the late emperor, open his mind, distinguish between rewards and punishments, and complete the great cause of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, expressing Zhuge Liang's sincere feelings for the late emperor, his determination to settle down in the Central Plains, and his loyalty to Liu and his son.
In 223 AD 10, Deng Zhi was sent to Wu to make peace with Sun Wu. In 225 AD, Zhuge Liang personally went south to pacify Yizhou, Yongchang and other four counties, and settled the rear. These are all preparations for advancing the cause and sending troops to attack Wei. In May 226 AD, Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, passed away. In July of the same year, Sun Quan collected it from Shiyang in Jiangxia and failed to return it. This is a good opportunity for Shu Han to attack the Central Plains. So Zhuge Liang resolutely decided to start work. There are two modes handed down, the former and the latter, written by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu and Han Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms period. The previous article was written in the fifth year of Jianxing (227) and included in Volume 35 of Biography of Zhuge Liang. The article was sincere and touching, indicating Zhuge Liang's determination to explore the North. After giving a warning, he was mainly a "sage, far from a villain", listening to other people's opinions and working hard to revive the Han Dynasty.
Historical evaluation:
Liu Xie commented on this article in "Wen Xin Diao Long Cai Qing": "Those who love literature are classics, and those who resign are the latitude of reason; Form weft after correction, and then speak fluently; The origin of this article is also. "
Lu You, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, commented: "You don't know that at an early age, the difficulties in the world and the hope of the Central Plains are like mountains in the north. The boat travels in the snow at night, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind. Stuck on the Great Wall, I am vain, and the temple in the mirror has been ordered first. When you become a teacher, you can show your real name. Who is better than in a thousand years? "
