During the Western Jin Dynasty, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings swept through China, and the people were miserable. In the midst of this catastrophe, a man named Xi Jian held fast to his beliefs and personality and refused to become a subordinate of the rebellious army.
Even in the face of famine, he still received the help and respect of his fellow villagers and became a shelter in the village.
This story teaches us that no matter what kind of predicament you are in, you should stick to your beliefs and morals, because this is the basis for being respected and helped by others.
Although Xi Jian did not have a son, he had nephews and nephews, both of whom were still very young and lived with him. Every time he went to the villagers' houses for dinner, he would take them with him, and it was like three mouths to eat.
Although the villagers wanted to help him, their families were too poor to support him and his two children. Xi Jian understood this, so he later went to eat alone, then took the food in his mouth and brought it back to feed his nephews and nephews.
In this way, he succeeded in raising these two children. This story teaches us that even in times of war and hunger, the light of humanity can still shine.
Even in the face of difficulties, people can protect those in need through their own efforts. That's the power of human nature. Next, let's tell a story of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yan was not a helpless young emperor, and with the courage to think and do, he carried out a drastic personnel adjustment, deposing the then prime ministers Li Jue and Yang Sifu, and driving them out of the capital.
Although Li Yan had conflicts with these two prime ministers, the people around him always spoke ill of them, which led Li Yan to decide to send someone to the place to carry out the death penalty when he was young and vigorous and did not think things through.
At the same time, he also appointed a minister he admired, Li Deyu, as the prime minister to cultivate his own personnel team. However, Li Deyu objected to Li Yan's decision, and he joined some important officials of the imperial court to advise the emperor to retract his fate.
They earnestly persuaded Li Yan to think twice before acting to avoid regret. However, Li Yanxin was arrogant and insisted on his decision, saying that he had no regrets. The atmosphere was very tense at that time, the ministers knelt on the ground, and Li Yan asked them to be exempted.
When the atmosphere was awkward, Li Yan asked everyone to sit down to ease the tense atmosphere. However, this did not change Li Yan's decision, and he still insisted on driving Li Jue and Yang Sifu out of Jingshi.
Li Deyu and a group of ministers resolutely opposed the emperor's order, and they stood there firmly, vowing not to give up. The emperor asked them to sit down, but they still insisted on standing, using this behavior to coerce the emperor to change his decision.
Although this is very dangerous, because the temperament of the new emperor Li Yan is not yet known, if the emperor is annoyed, the consequences are unimaginable.
However, fortunately, Tang Wuzong was not a tyrannical lord, and he eventually withdrew the order, and Li Jue and Yang Sifu were thus saved.
Although this incident seems ordinary, it involves the famous Niu Li Party Dispute in the history of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty, which is the two forces of the court officials, namely the Niu Party and the Li Party.
The fundamental struggle between these two parties is to exclude the other party's ** from Beijing and let their party hold the main ruling power.
At the same time, there were also differences in their decision-making and pursuit of political goals, such as whether they advocated war or peace in the face of the rampant border troubles and the secession of feudal towns.
Therefore, this incident is not only an internal struggle between ministers and princes, but also a manifestation of the party struggle between Niu and Li.
Niu Li Party Dispute: The opposite of the leader Li Deyu is Li Jue and Yang Sifu of the Niu Party. The two parties have been fighting each other for more than a decade, and the intensity of the struggle is beyond imagination.
However, the strange thing is that when the new emperor Tang Wuzong wanted to clean up and kill Li Jue and Yang Sifu, Li Deyu actively dissuaded them, and was even willing to risk his political career to save them.
This is not surprising, given that the civil servants are fighting only for political opinions, not for life and death. Defeat in political battles or job cuts are common, but not at the cost of losing one's life.
Although Li Deyu and Li Jue and Yang Sifu are political opponents, they are not enemies who hate each other. This is the bottom line of human nature, and it is also a manifestation of mutual understanding and understanding among scholars and doctors. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
