Each Han Dynasty had its own poisonous scholar, Chen Ping in the Western Han Dynasty and Jia Xu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. What are "poison scholars" called?It's the kind of person who specializes in vicious and ruthless tactics to recruit people who want to kill people. There are many counselors in history who are good at making plots, but there are probably only a handful of them as ruthless as Chen Ping.
Chen Ping's personal conduct was not very good, and he was even more controversial in later history books.Sima Qian recorded in "Historical Records: The Family of Prime Minister Chen" that he often came up with strange plans to save the country from troubles and troubles.] listed him as a "model counselor" along with Zhang Liang, but the annotation "Six Unexpected Strategies, Unknown to the World" implies that these strategies are sinister and difficult to be refined.
Zhu Xi, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, once denounced: "Chen Ping's technique is weird."
However, Wang Euzhi, a thinker in the late Ming Dynasty, defended: "After the Qin Dynasty was overthrown, a country cannot be established without power and strategy."]
This Yangwu scholar, known as the "Poison Man", spent his life proving that on the chessboard of power, morality has always been the most luxurious decoration.Just as he advised Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty before his death: "The prime minister assists the emperor in regulating yin and yang, and educates all things appropriately. As for whether the means are pure or dirty, let future generations comment."
When Chen Ping was a child, he had a poor background. His family had little property, his parents died early, and he had no ability to make a living. He had no choice but to live with his brother and sister-in-law.As time passed, my sister-in-law became dissatisfied and complained behind her back that he was not doing his job properly.When Chen Ping's eldest brother heard this, he got angry on the spot: "If you dare to say anything wrong about my brother, get a divorce!"
This incident soon spread that Chen Ping was eating and drinking at his brother's house, and was having an affair with his sister-in-law. The two of them didn't know each other, so his brother was so determined to divorce.Over time, rumors of "Chen Ping stealing his wife" spread all over the place. Whether Chen Ping admitted it or not, he was definitely responsible for it.
Chen Ping, an unemployed young man, has no skills. In order to fill his stomach, he can only do odd jobs in the village.What odd jobs?It's not very respectable to say, but I just do some light work to help people who are organizing funerals.
Although Chen Ping has accomplished nothing and is eating and drinking everywhere, he has one advantage: he is good-looking and handsome.Don't underestimate this, good appearance can always bring some good luck at any time.
If you think Chen Ping is just a handsome gangster, you have misunderstood him. Even though he is usually idle and not doing his job properly, he also has ideals and ambitions.
Once, Chen Ping presided over the sharing of meat at the priest. He was not greedy for petty advantages and divided the meat fairly. Everyone praised him for his good sharing.But Chen Ping sighed: "What does this mean? One day I come to rule the world, it will be like dividing the meat today."
This emotion made the villagers look at him with admiration.There was a wealthy granddaughter named Zhang Fu who was married five times and was sent back to her parents' home five times because her husband died.Everyone in the village believed that this girl was born to be a coward, and no one from far away would dare to marry her.
Zhang Fu was very anxious. Once he met Chen Ping and was attracted by his handsome appearance. He took it upon himself to betroth his granddaughter to him.The son expressed his dissatisfaction. Chen Ping was poor and unwilling to work. The whole village laughed at him for being hopeless. Why did he marry his granddaughter to him?Zhang Fu replied: "What do you know? I think this man has extraordinary looks and will become a great person in the future!"
Of course, Zhang Huan is not exactly a person who cares about appearance. He has carefully investigated Chen Ping.Once, he followed Chen Ping home. Although Chen Ping's family was very poor, it could be concluded from the ruts of carriages in front of his house that this guy must have many high-ranking friends. The most effective way to test a person is to see what kind of people he makes friends with.
Under Zhang Fu's arrangement, Chen Ping got in touch with his granddaughter.It doesn't matter if I don't have money to marry, I have money, and I also declared that if I need money in the future, I will find my husband-in-law.In the strange eyes of his neighbors, Chen Ping perfectly overcame the fate of the Zhang family's granddaughter and became a "Nike boy."The two of them lived a peaceful and peaceful life.
With the financial support, Chen Ping's social circle has expanded a lot than before.Soon, he was no longer willing to stay in this small place and was ready to go out and do something big.
A few years later, Chen Sheng led the uprising, and Chen Ping's hometown was soon involved in the war.In order to make a name for himself, Chen Ping defected to Wei Jiu, the king of Wei, hoping to use his professional expertise there.
Wei Jiu valued Chen Ping very much and made him a royal servant.At first, Chen Ping thought it was good. Unfortunately, not long after, the internal strife in Wei made Chen Ping unable to work with peace of mind.Chen Ping felt that there was no future for him to stay any longer, so he defected to Xiang Yu again and followed Xiang Yu all the way westward.Due to his outstanding performance, he was awarded a title by Xiang Yu and was ranked as a minister.
The situation was originally very good, but later Xiang Yu caused dissatisfaction among many people due to his enfeoffment. The world soon fell into turmoil again, and Xiang Yu was tired of quelling the chaos everywhere.
