Song Ningzong Jiatai for three years, Xin Qiji, who had been idle at home for eight years, was once again enabled by the imperial court.
At this time, he was over sixty years old, and his temples were as white as frost.
When he learned that the imperial court was preparing to use troops against the Jin State, Xin Qiji, who was in an old state, seemed to become radiant in an instant.
Under the Beigu Pavilion, the river is leisurely, looking at it, the pride is suddenly born, and he can't help but blurt out: "Young and ten thousand pockets, sit down and break the southeast war." Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world?Cao Liu, giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. ”
The "Sun Zhongmou" praised by Xin Jiaxuan is our protagonist today - Sun Quan.
Throughout Sun Quan's life, he has left us with many surprises and sighs.
When he was young, he was high-spirited and heroic;
When he was middle-aged, he was in Jiangdong and was in the middle of the river
But I don't want to live as an arrogant and mediocre person in my old age.
Being able to start well but not ending well, perhaps, this is the greatest sorrow of adults.
The boy can carry: how wide the shoulders are, how far the road is
Sun Quan has shown a "different from ordinary people" demeanor since he was a child, he not only looks strange, but also has a generous personality, so he is deeply loved by his father and brother.
However, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds.
When Sun Quan was nine years old, his father Sun Jian died in the battle against Jingzhou, and the young Sun Quan suffered his first blow in his life.
Since then, he no longer has fatherly love, but fortunately, he still has an eldest brother - Sun Ce.
The ancients often said that the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.
After losing his father, Sun Quan followed Sun Ce.
Sun Ce intended to cultivate this younger brother, so he arranged some internal affairs for him to do.
As a result, Sun Quan, who was only fifteen years old, was appointed as the magistrate of Yangxian County.
Although Sun Quan is young, he has extraordinary skills.
Under his governance, Yang Xian showed a thriving appearance.
Sun Ce had high hopes for Sun Quan, and Sun Quan did his best to assist his brother, but unfortunately, just when he wanted to learn more skills Xi from his brother, the second major blow in his life quietly came.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce was assassinated. Before he died, he entrusted his wife and children to Sun Quan.
In this way, Sun Quan, who was not yet 20 years old, became the heir of Jiangdong Foundation.
With his father and brother leaving one after another, he had to grow up and take on this heavy responsibility.
In the early days of Sun Quan's reign, Jiangdong can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles.
Lujiang Taishou Li Shu openly rebelled;Luling Taishou Sun Fu fell to Cao Cao;Tens of thousands of bandits in Huiji and other places are also waiting for an opportunity to make trouble.
In the face of such a predicament, Sun Quan showed an old age beyond his years.
He took Zhang Zhao as his teacher and Zhou Yu as his brother, and soon settled down the stormy situation.
However, shortly thereafter, Sun Quan faced the most formidable enemy in his life, Cao Cao.
In the face of Cao Cao's army, most people in Sun Wu advocated surrender, but Sun Quan was unwilling to hand over his father's and brother's inheritance.
After listening to Lu Su and Zhou Yu's analysis, he strengthened his determination to resist Cao Cao.
In the face of many ministers, Sun Quan, who has always been generous, swung his sword and slashed the corner of the table angrily, and said firmly: "If there is another person who speaks to Cao, there is such a case!."”
In the end, Sun Quan overrode public opinion and chose to join Liu to resist Cao, winning the first battle in his life.
Rousseau once said:
Tribulation, for the weak, is the grave of death, and for the strong it is the soil of ambition.Life is long, there are always misfortunes, you can bear it in case of trouble, and you are not afraid of drifting. Green seedlings must eventually experience wind and rain before they can thrive.
Fledgling young people often have more vigor and less responsibility.
When faced with hardships and misfortunes, they will choose to escape, choose to give up, and eventually lose a chance to grow.
In fact, young people must dare to act, be able to carry it, sadness is inevitable, wipe away tears, and continue to move forward.
You know, in this world, if you are not brave, no one will be strong for you.
Middle-aged people have to endure:
If you want to be a top master, you have to learn to be beaten
Before Sun Ce died, he said bitterly to Sun Quan:
The people of Jiangdong are determined between the two formations, and they are not as good as me;To protect Jiangdong, I am not as good as Qing.In terms of fighting, Sun Quan is far inferior to his father and brother, but when it comes to "forbearance", he is much stronger than Sun Ce.
In troubled times, the strong are respected, if you can't become the strongest, then you must learn to "endure".
If you can endure it, you can stay in the green mountains;can endure in order to gain the upper hand everywhere.
Speaking of the first forbearance of the Three Kingdoms, we all think of Sima Yi, but we may not know: Sun Quan's "forbearance" is not inferior to Sima Yi at all.
After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan began to plan to recapture Jingzhou, but he did not take immediate action, but held back and waited for the opportunity.
In the 22nd year of Jian'an, Sun Quan took the initiative to reconcile with Cao Wei on the one hand, and on the other hand, he tried his best to flatter Guan Yu and tolerate it in every way.
He once sent Zhuge Jin to be a matchmaker for his son, wanting to marry Guan Yu's daughter as his daughter-in-law.
Who knew that Guan Yu not only did not agree, but also insulted Sun Quan fiercely in front of Zhuge Jin: "The tiger girl can marry a dog!."”
In the face of Guan Yu's insults, Sun Quan did not take the case, but endured it.
What is "forbearance"?Forbearance, is to hide the knife in the heart, this knife is not out, it is amazing!
In Guan Yu's view, Sun Quan, a "courageless person" who didn't even dare to fight back when he was scolded, was completely not afraid, but he didn't know that it was the courageless person in his eyes who finally killed him.
In the 24th year of Jian'an, the news of Guan Yu's "flooding of the Seventh Army and the shock of China" came from the front.
Guan Yu's indispensability is a good time for Sun Quanbao's knife to come out of the sheath, and a conspiracy to "please Yu for self-efficacy" is quietly beginning to ...... behind Guan Yu
In the end, Lü Meng crossed the river in white, Jingzhou was defeated on all fronts, and Guan Yu ended up in a different place.
Sun Quan's forbearance finally paid off, and he recaptured Jingzhou as he wished.
But Sun Quan, who recaptured Jingzhou, not only did not become complacent, but became more low-key and forbearing.
Killing Guan Yu and seizing Jingzhou will inevitably attract Liu Bei's anger, so Sun Quan once again chose to forbear, but this time he bowed to Cao Pi.
After learning the news that Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, Sun Quan immediately submitted his vassal to him and accepted the title of "King of Wu".
He knew in his heart that he and Liu Bei had torn their faces, and if he didn't have a good relationship with Cao Pi at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Facts have proved that Sun Quan once again "endured" the effect he wanted.
When Liu Bei raised troops to attack, Cao Pi not only did not take advantage of the fire to rob, but supported Jiangdong, and finally succeeded in defeating Liu Bei and once again saved the day.
Xing Shi Hengyan once said: "If you don't think twice, you will regret it, and people can endure and worry about themselves." ”
Forbearance is an invisible force, but it can help us solve tangible difficulties.
When people reach middle age, they not only have to bear pressure from all sides, but even their own energy is not as good as before, and we need to be more patient at this time.
Find a good opportunity from forbearance, gain enlightenment and flexibility from forbearance, and finally achieve a breakthrough in life.
Don't drift in your old age: rich and arrogant, and blame yourself
Chibi defeated Cao Cao, Yiling defeated Liu Bei, and even these two bigwigs were defeated by their own hands, who in this world can stop my Sun Quan's progress?
In 227 AD, Sun Quan, who had endured for many years, finally straightened his waist and was determined to become emperor.
At this time, Sun Quan reached the pinnacle of his life, and at the same time, he was on the road of self-esteem and arrogance.
All in all, Sun Quan, who is called the emperor, is a little floating!
Since he calls himself the "Great Emperor", he naturally has to do something that the Great Emperor should do, and this is exactly what he wants to do.
Sun Quan opened the map and swept around: Shu Han is an alliance and cannot be moved;Cao Wei was too strong to move.
After all, the only places that can reflect the prestige of Soochow are remote areas.
So Sun Quan sent Wei Wen and Zhuge to take a boat to the sea to attack the indigenous people of Taiwan and Hainan, and by the way, seek the art of immortality.
As a result, the two only brought back a few thousand islanders on the island, according to the "Zizhi Tongjian" record, "Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhijun marched for years, and thousands of people in Yizhou were returned, and the soldiers died of disease and disease."
Sun Quan saw that the gains were not as good as the losses, and in a fit of anger, he gave the two of them a "poor work, prison and killing".
But Sun Quan was not reconciled after encountering a wall, and he continued to seek opportunities to make contributions.
In 233 AD, Gongsun Yuan, who originally seized Liaodong, sent an envoy to Sun Quan to claim his vassal, and the discerning person knew that this was a trap at a glance, but Sun Quan believed it.
Whimsical, he actually believed Gongsun Yuan's words, and sent thousands of soldiers to bring countless treasures to recruit Gongsun Yuan.
As a result, the baby was detained, and the head was cut off.
When Sun Quan learned of this, he said angrily: "I am sixty years old, the world is difficult and easy, I don't taste it, and I am almost fooled by rats, which makes people angry. ”
The emperor was furious, and even wanted to send troops across the sea to attack Liaodong, but fortunately he gave up because of the dissuasion of his ministers, otherwise he would have suffered heavy losses.
The external expansion failed, and the internal governance of the country was also a mess.
In order to reduce the burden of the people and implement benevolent government, Lu Xun has written many times to advise, but Sun Quan has not been recognized.
It is precisely because of this oppressive rule that Sun Quan "swarmed up with thieves" in the later period, but he still did not think about it, and always felt that he was extremely sacred.
So on the one hand, he issued an edict ordering the counties to govern the city and erect high-rise buildings, and on the other hand, he reused the warlock king's watch and spun the people, and asked everything to Shinto.
Due to Sun Quan's arrogance, Soochow fell into the abyss of turbidity and corruption.
Tao Te Ching has a saying: "Rich and arrogant, self-blame." ”
History has proved the truth of this sentence countless times, but there are still countless latecomers who do not think about lessons and throw themselves into the abyss, and Sun Quan in his later years is the best negative teaching material.
When life encounters ups and downs, calm is the way to go.
When people reach their old age, they should have a self-examination and calm mind, not arrogant or impatient, work hard, and use "good beginnings and good ends" to hand in a perfect answer sheet for their lives.
Sun Quan's life can be described as:
Inconsistency, gratifying and hateful.
The strength of his youth made him overcome obstacles;The forbearance of middle age made him rampant;The arrogance in his later years made him mediocre.
No one's life is destined to be perfect, and no one's life is destined to be flawed.
A perfect beginning does not mean that there will be a perfect ending, only those who start well and finish well can have a good laugh all the way to the end.
There is no greater pain in life than falling shortThe greatest sorrow in life is that there is no beginning and no end.
May my friends take this as a warning!
