original text

Therefore, although Zhang Tang concealed it well and was suspicious and jealous, he could not be fair and just, but he was praised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (because he knew what he wanted).
So Zhu.
analyse
Wen Shen: It's not that you have profound literary skills, but that you hide yourself deeply.
As one of the few jesters of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhu has political talent and ideological foresight, so he is the only jester who is reused.
However, since ancient times, bookworms have been everywhere, and it is not impossible to have one more Zhufuyan in the team.
How crazy is he? He once said: If I live without food, I will cook my ears with food (in a word, he really died with food (covering his face))! What do you mean? In other words, I was born without a high official, and I will enjoy the treatment of five pots of cooking and killing after I die (five pots of cooking is also the death penalty for people with positions). )
If the tone of this sentence is not well understood, there is a sentence that goes well with this sentence: 18 years later, be a hero!
Is that understandable? As the saying goes, a word from a gentleman is a promise. Such arrogance, in addition to attracting attention, more is to expose their own perverts.
So, under his suggestion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided the world, moved the mausoleum and destroyed Yan Qi (Yan Qi was guilty). Finally, on his arrogant road, he got narrower and narrower, so narrow that Emperor Wu could not keep him, so he had to order Wu Ding to cook him and kill him. Because he offended the public.
In history, he had similar experiences, including Ai Guo, the son of Guo Ziyi, and the protagonist was drunk. Naked, playing drums and cursing Cao's hero Mi Fei. Of course, there is also the protagonist Li Bai who takes off his boots. (Although, Li Bai did not die because of this)
Let's go back to Zhang Tang, stand on his feet and stare at him. The allusions of these eight-character idioms come from Zhang Tang. However, in the history books, this passage "Zi Tongzhi Jian" is intact, and the original words of "Historical Records" have been copied down. It can be seen that the respect for Sima Qian is really unchanged!
What's it like to be the ultimate observer? Is Zhang Tang like this, every suggestion, every decision, can be said to the emperor's heart, can seize the key, seize the opportunity to seek benefits for themselves. The emperor studied what he liked. So, later, he relied on this ability to achieve the position of an ancient scholar step by step.
People similar to him in history are Zhao Gao, Li, etc.
They had great scenery before their death, but history was never biased. What you look like is what you look like after all. What you have done and what influence you have left behind will be evaluated.
Perhaps, those who were beheaded and dismissed from office are all good? Not exactly. What's the difference between people who blindly don't know how to avoid risks and those who are reckless? Unless you can meet a wise gentleman like Wei Zhi (Wei Zhi is straight but not puffed up).
So, just please the traitors? No, on the one hand, you can't support the monarch, on the other hand, you can't appease the people, which doesn't make much sense.
In a word, Confucius summed it up for them: too much is too late. Too much, or nothing, has the same effect. So, two people, each holding a stick. However, there is only one person who really does all these things to the extreme and speaks frankly, which has both advantages and disadvantages. who is it? Listen to the next chapter (naughty)
What is the right thing to do? History will never give us a standard and correct answer. Each of us should seek the answer in our hearts and then try to practice it. I think, in this matter, no answer is the real standard answer!
