The remnant sun is like blood, on the city of Chang'an, pedestrians are in a hurry, and the sun is setting, among which Zhang Liang's spicy fragrant pot is particularly attractive. I don't know if Zhang Liang's business is thriving now, and whether his spicy fragrant pot is still memorable. I can't help but wonder if Zhang Liang a thousand years ago also had cooking skills, after all, he was also surnamed Zhang.
Zhang Liang, an ordinary person, had a legendary life a thousand years ago. What is the life of a humble peasant who eventually becomes a hero? How did this seemingly mediocre person open the door to success? Zhang Liang's story gives us endless inspiration.
The story of a farmer struggling to survive.
In 600 AD, the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil and wars were raging. In a remote mountain village in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, Zhang Liang worked hard and lived a simple peasant life. When he was a child, his dream was to wear fine clothes and food, and to swords and swords; When he grew up, all he wanted was a bumper rice harvest, raising his family, and being carefree.
Unable to make a living in the fields, Zhang Liang had to leave his hometown and work as a bodyguard in Wagang Village. Zhang Liang is thin-skinned and has no talent, so his master Li Mi has never appreciated him. Zhang Liang was good at detecting moles, until someone organized the assassination of Li Mi. After this operation, Zhang Liang attracted Li Mi's attention, and his life also reached a new level.
Soon, Zhang Liang followed his teacher Li Mi to Li Tang. At that time, Zhang Liang was 30 years old, and he had no hope for his career and just wanted to live a peaceful life. However, his cautious and steady style attracted Li Shimin's attention, and he was promoted, starting from a petty official, rising step by step, and finally becoming Li Shimin's internal history squire.
Zhang Liang was in a high position and worried. He knew better than anyone that he was just an ordinary peasant with little talent, and he was worried that he would drag down the emperor's career. But he made up his mind that he must do his best to repay Li Shimin's kindness, and must not have a negative impact on Shaowu.
Shame on the battlefield and two escapes.
In the winter of 621 AD, Zhang Liang was ordered to defend Xiangzhou, not wanting Liu Heimin's rebel army to attack the city. Seeing that he was outnumbered and not good at martial arts, Zhang Liang felt that he could not resist, so he decided to lead his subordinates to escape from the city overnight. This was a taboo at the time, and Zhang Liang became infamous for it.
Three years later, Zhang Liang had to accompany the army on the northern expedition to Goguryeo. He was indecisive, lacked confidence, and reluctantly went on the expedition. However, when he arrived on the battlefield, Zhang Liang immediately regretted it. Under the city of Jian'an, the enemy army attacked fiercely. Zhang Liang was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, his legs were weak, and he couldn't move at all. Fortunately, he ordered the brave soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and he turned the crisis into safety.
The two encounters on the battlefield made Zhang Liang ashamed. He knew that he was not suitable to be the prime minister, but Li Shimin trusted him, which made Zhang Liang even more grateful. He swore secretly:"Although I am a coward, I must repay Your Majesty's kindness with my life.
The move to adopt a son was shocking.
One of the most important events in Zhang Liang's life in his later years was the adoption of 500 adopted sons. This move, which seemed extremely sudden and unusual at the time, caused much controversy in the imperial court, and some even ridiculed his stupidity.
But there's a purpose behind it. He had already seen the direction of the world and knew that Li Shimin intended to kill his father and seize the throne, so he had this plan in his heart. The purpose of the adoption was to help Li Shimin when he ascended the throne. Five hundred adopted sons working together can indeed become a force to be reckoned with.
Li Shimin knew this, but he also understood Zhang Liang's good intentions, and he was naturally afraid that these five hundred people would become his puppets in rebellion, so he secretly stared at Zhang Liang and did not expose his future power.
In the Xuanwumen incident, he risked his life to help.
In 620 AD, Li Shimin planned to usurp the throne, and he sent his henchman Zhang Liang to Lujiang to secretly form alliances with local forces in preparation for an impending coup d'état. This big secret was discovered by Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. Li Yuanji arrested Zhang Liang, tortured him, and threatened to kill him in order to force him to tell Li Shimin's plan.
Zhang Liang would rather be brutally tortured than gossip. He knew in his heart that Li Shimin's plan would backfire, and he himself would be killed in public. is such a cowardly person, at the moment of life and death, but he showed unimaginable courage and bravery.
Li Shimin admires Zhang Liang very much. After the success of the Xuanwumen Change, Zhang Liang's position became more stable. He practiced the so-called loyalty with his life, and this loyalty influenced Li Shimin and reached the peak of Zhang Liang's life.
Merit: Ranked 16th on the Merit** list.
In 625 AD, Li Shimin built the Lingyan Pavilion to commend twenty-four meritorious heroes. It is unbelievable that Zhang Liang, an ordinary person, is ranked sixteenth before the genius Qin Qiong.
This honor caused an uproar in the palace. But Li Shimin knew that the final success of the Xuanwumen coup d'état was because Zhang Liang sacrificed his ego and completed the cruel task of the coup. Without Zhang Liang's help, he might have lost his way to power. This is Zhang Liang's dedication and the success of Zhang Liang's empire.
Zhang Liang's life was full of dramatic twists and turns. He is like a piece of jade, unpretentious, and finally shines under Li Shimin's carving. He proved that an ordinary person can have an extraordinary life.
Ordinary body, great spirit, this is Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang is an ordinary person, no talent, but with an extraordinary temperament. But he was loyal in his heart, sacrificed his life to serve the country, and finally achieved an extraordinary life and became a generation of famous ministers.
