[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

"Letters open history, audience friends, hello everyone, welcome to this episode of the program. Today's first letter has a lot of background, it is a letter written by Zhuge Anren, the great general of the Song Dynasty, to his elder brother Zhuge Zhengwo." Female The host spoke dignifiedly and elegantly.

The female guest interjected: "Rather than saying that Zhuge An was the great general of the Song Dynasty, it is better to say that he is the founding emperor of the Hua Dynasty. It defined the basic territory, basic system and important culture of the Hua Dynasty."

"This is also very interesting. According to records at that time, his subordinates, relatives and friends all persuaded him to proclaim himself emperor, and several surrounding countries also treated him as a monarch, but he kept insisting on not proclaiming himself emperor. At that time, on this land, there were Song, Liao, Jin, Xixia, Dali and many other countries, all of which were vying for the throne, and everyone had an ambition to become the emperor and build a country, but the people of Zhuge'an considered themselves the subjects of the Song Dynasty all their lives, the reason we will discuss later It was also mentioned in the letter my son read." The male guest talked eloquently.

"The most interesting thing is the time when this letter was written, AD 1104. At this time, the Zhuge'an people were confronting the Liao Kingdom. Xixia died on the left, and the motherland was in the south. The war could be said to be on the verge of breaking out. The Liao Kingdom would perish a year later. , but at this time, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was instigated by the treacherous minister Cai Jing and did not believe in the loyalty of the Zhuge An people. He asked him to return to Bianjing, the capital at that time, and sent another person to take over the army. But the Zhuge An people were unwilling, so the emperor appointed him Zhuge Zheng, I wrote a letter to him. The next thing we are going to read is the reply letter from Zhuge Anren to his brother. I don’t know if this Song Dynasty person wrote to him. What is the difference between brother's home letter and now?" the female guest introduced with a smile.

"Human nature is common for thousands of years, and culture is the same. I don't think there will be any surprises in the relationship. What we should explore is the history at that time." The male guest sighed, "I received a message from the audience the day before yesterday. A parent of a student praised our program for doing well, and the Chinese scores of children watching TV have improved significantly. I think our way of reading letters is very clever. When guests read letters, they are translated into vernacular Chinese, but the subtitles are still in Compared with ancient Chinese, it is easier to understand and compare the differences between ancient and modern cultures. Television should be spoken, but the letters of historical figures are all written in classical Chinese, especially when the letters of important figures are selected, they have a high level of cultural accomplishment. "

"Yes, it also reflects the high level of education of our letter readers." The female guest laughed.

"Oh, the letter-reading guest is already on stage, let's listen to his performance." The hostess sped up her speech to catch up with the progress of the show, and the letter-reading guest had already entered the studio next to her.

"Brother Fu'an, the letter has been received. If His Majesty entrusted you to write this letter, I can tell you the answer now. I will not return to Bianjing, let alone hand over the army to others. You can return to your command." !"

"You and I both know what the current situation is. The Liao Kingdom is no longer a confidant. According to our plan, we can destroy the country within two years. Now the enemy of our Song Dynasty is the newly-emerged Jin Kingdom; Hidden behind the Kingdom of Jin, Mongolia is galloping across the grasslands; it is Xixia who will never be defeated. I shoulder the great trust of the late emperor, and I cannot retreat. Your Majesty urged me to attack Liao Kingdom immediately and take back Youzhou City several times before, but the opportunity to fight did not come. I have submitted memorials many times to show that His Majesty will not listen. Why did the ancients teach us that we will not accept the orders of emperors abroad? It is because the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible for the emperor far behind to command the war. Emperor Taizong once passed down the formation map, which was rigid. Prescribing the marching route, time, troop strength, and formation resulted in the fact that our Song State’s troop strength was several times or ten times that of the enemy, but we still lost the battle.”

"What's worse is that in the north, there are Huashi Gang, Birthday Gang, and the economic policies of the prime ministers Cai Jingfeng, Shen, Yu, and Da. Storing wealth for the people is the foundation of a country, and it is the basic national policy that has been implemented for hundreds of years. Cai Jing It is a collusion between government and businessmen, turning into bandits to plunder the people's wealth, which can only lead to the country's economic recession and the people's life. The biggest victim is Your Majesty. The north is the place under my jurisdiction, and I cannot watch such things that shake the foundation of the country happen. "

"The above two reasons why I cannot come back, please explain to His Majesty for me."

"Besides, there are also rumors among the people that I raised the bandits to be self-reliant and tried to stand on my own. This is completely nonsense. Our Zhuge family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotism for generations. How could I be an exception? Besides, I once had a relationship with The late emperor was as close as a brother, and he promised to guard the country for him before his hospital bed. I can swear to you that I have been a courtier of the Song state all my life. Lu Yao knows that horsepower can see people's hearts for a long time, and you can tell your majesty about this confession. "

"In the end, I already know the fact that the traitors in the court wanted to cut off the food and grass of the army and sent me to die. I don't worry about my own safety. I just ask you to take care of yourself and don't let me implicate you. If one day I really die, please You must take care of yourself and don't be sad for me. It has been many years since we fell out due to political discord when we were young. You have been loyally guarding the capital. Your Majesty will not doubt you. You have great prestige in the court and among the people. I won't make it too difficult for you. I just ask you to take care of my wife and children while taking care of yourself. My wife is a very capable person, and most men in the world can't match her. But I worry that she loves me too much Even a young child can't hold her heart. If I unfortunately die in battle, she probably doesn't want to live. Please persuade her for me. If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night."

"Brother Ann knocks."

After a round of applause, the female guest sighed: "Oh, it really is a hero of the generation. I noticed that he mentioned his wife at the end. Hey, Cheng Huayu, the wife of Zhuge Anren, is also a very famous person. His full name can be left in history. There are not many women in China, and they all have extraordinary achievements. Cheng Huayu is a remarkable talented woman. Different from the talented women who are famous for their poems, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is a master of Confucianism. Many scholars at that time called her Mr. Later, Zhuge'an people also said that he was able to calm the situation in the north so quickly, and half of the credit was Cheng Huayu who helped him appease the literati and educate the people. Cheng Huayu not only made great achievements in literature and politics, but also promoted women's equal rights. No.1. She started women's classes to improve women's own quality, and wrote articles to explain the principle that women's status should be higher. She said that a woman is a mother, and a mother is the earliest teacher in a child's life. A good mother can improve The level of this family improves the quality of the entire nation. Through her continuous efforts, and the joint efforts of the visionary people at the time, she finally began to promote the advancement of the status of women in our country. Cheng Huayu is not only a writer, politician, and affirmative action activist, but also A humanitarian. We all know that there was a war at that time, and her husband was the main general who participated in the battle. But after the war subsided, she organized doctors and volunteers to treat the wounded soldiers and the civilians involved free of charge. Regardless of nationality, even if her husband's enemy is off the battlefield, she will treat her as well."

"Haha, she is studying this aspect, and she can talk about it endlessly." The male guest joked, and the female guest shrugged, showing that she still had more to say.

"In fact, one of the reasons why Cheng Huayu can achieve such a great achievement is her excellence, but it is also inseparable from the support of Zhuge'an people. Even now, men who support women's career pursuits and treat women tolerantly and friendly Not much, Cheng Huayu is also very grateful to her husband. According to historical records, a literati said to her at that time, saying that you are like a Bodhisattva, why did you marry a demon who kills people without blinking an eye? Cheng Huayu replied that the Buddha is merciful and saves the world, only because of the anger-eyed King Kong escort It is her husband's tolerance and foresight that Cheng Huayu can carry out humanitarian rescue safely. You must know that in ancient times, there was no such thing as preferential treatment of prisoners of war. How many surrendered soldiers were killed in the battle pit of Changping?" The male guest also stood on the side of the man. from this perspective.

"Everyone is very interested in the couple Zhuge Anren and Cheng Huayu. Many TV dramas and movies often involve this topic." It always makes me think that only smart people can have last names."

"Just like Zhuge Liang." The male and female guests said in unison.

"In fact, his older brother, Zhuge Zhengwo, is also a very famous person. The names of the two brothers, Yiren Zhengme, Yiyi Anren, did not take the wrong name. The political ideas of the two brothers are all in the name. Zhuge Zhengwo I advocate benevolence, kindness, and tolerance in dealing with things. People in Zhuge'an like to follow rules, handouts, and do things in accordance with the law. Disagreement in political views, they fell out when they were teenagers." The male guest said.

"Yes, I have read a textual research that said that they had a big fight at the beginning, and finally Zhuge'an was angry and joined the army. Both of them are martial arts masters. According to historical records, 'It's easy to open a mountain and split a rock; it's as easy as walking on the ground' , the current martial arts masters can't do it, and many of our martial arts have lost their inheritance due to the war."

"The historical data I have seen is that it was Song Zhezong's arrangement for the Zhuge'an people to join the army. It also said in the letter that he and the first emperor were brothers. They grew up together and fought for the same political ideals. Under the pressure of not claiming to be an emperor and establishing a country, he thought he was grateful for the kindness of Zong Zhezong. When Zhuge An was in his later years, the large area of ​​land in the north, the original entire territory of Xixia and most of the Kingdom of Jin were annexed by him. The Song Dynasty ruled with the Yellow River as the dividing line, but he insisted on refusing to say it. To his son, the first emperor’s bones were not cold, and the ministers dared not rebel. At that time, Zhe Zong had passed away for more than 50 years. We can’t imagine such a relationship between the emperor and his ministers. Later, the Liao Kingdom quickly perished, and the people of Zhuge'an never proclaimed themselves emperor. His grandson built an empire," added the male guest.

"Oh, Mr. Zhuge An can talk too much. Our guests can discuss a topic at their fingertips for a long time. However, our next letter-reading guest has already entered the stage. What will be presented to us soon is "Admonishing the King" "Book", which happened to be written by Cheng Huayu to her ex-husband, after reconciling with Fei Ju, Cheng Huayu married Zhuge Anren, we can continue to talk about this couple."
