He was famous for his few words and resigned many times at first. He lived in seclusion in Dongshan, Shanyin County, Huiji, traveled with Wang Xizhi and Wang Xizhi, educated Xie's children, and refused to live in the imperial court many times. After all the Xie family members died in the imperial court, Fang made a comeback and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Huan Wen in Xisima. Since then, he has served as governor, assistant, minister of government affairs and assistant minister of Zhong Jun in Xing Wu.
After the collapse of Xian 'an in the second year, Xie An and Wang defeated Huan Wen's attempt to usurp the throne and helped others after his death. As the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the Battle of Feishui, he defeated the former Qin army, which claimed to be a million, with an army of 80,000, and won decades of peace and peace for the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the war, he was suspected by Emperor Xiaowu because of his high reputation, and was forced to go to Guangling to avoid disaster. After ten years in Taiyuan, he returned to Jiankang due to illness at the age of 66. Taifu, Luling County, posthumous title, Wenjing, posthumous title.
Xie An is versatile, good at books and music. Elegant and gentle, fair and decisive, not authoritarian, not arrogant, with prime minister temperament. He ruled the country by complementing Confucianism and Taoism; As a noble gentry, he can take care of the overall situation and obey the interests of the Jin family with the interests of the Xie family. Wang Jian called him "Prime Minister Jiang Zuofeng". Zhang Shunhui praised him as "an open and fearless politician in the history of China".
Born into a noble family.
Xie An was born in a noble family, and his father Xie Ju was an official. When Xie An was four years old, the famous scholar Huan Yi saw him and admired him very much. He said: "This child is gentle and intelligent, and will not be worse than Wang Donghai in the future." When he was a child, he was calm, quick-thinking, personable and proficient in running script.
As a teenager, Xie An was highly valued by Wang Meng, a famous scholar, and Wang Dao, the prime minister, and enjoyed a high reputation in the upper class. But Xie An doesn't want to hunt for high officials and high salaries by virtue of his birth and fame. At first, the court recruited Xie An into Situfu and awarded him the position of assistant writer, but Xie An refused on the pretext of illness.
Wandering in seclusion
Later, Xie An refused to woo, and simply lived in seclusion in Dongshan, Huiji County, making frequent friends with celebrities and monks such as Wang Xizhi, Xu Xun and Zhi Daolin. He went out fishing and hunting and went home to write poems and compositions, but he didn't want to be an official. At that time, Yu Ping, the secretariat of Yangzhou, admired Xie An's reputation and ordered county officials to urge persecution many times. Xie An had to make a phone call. After just over a month, he resigned and returned to Huiji. Later, the court called him Shang and Wang You, but Xie An refused. Wang Fan, the official minister, recommended Xie An as the official minister. He wrote a letter and refused. Shang Shu, an official concerned, thought that Xie An was recruited by the imperial court and should not be imprisoned for life in these years, so he released Xie An in a scenic spot in the east.
Xie once went to Lin 'an Mountain and sat in a cave. Facing the deep valley, he sighed: "What's the difference between this feeling and Bo Yi!" Once again, I went boating with Sun Chuo and others. It was like a storm. Everyone was scared, but Xie An made a noise. Because Xie An is happy, her husband is still on the cruise ship. When the wind and waves turned stronger, Xie An said slowly, "How can we return to such a strong wind?" The boatman obeyed the order and returned immediately. Everyone admires Xie An's generosity and calmness. Although Xie An indulges in mountains and rivers, he always takes a singer with him every time he visits.
Although Xie An refused to go out of the mountain again and again, Sima Yu, the king who ruled Huiji at that time, said: "Since An Shi can share joys and sorrows with others, he will certainly share hardships with others. If you recruit him again, you will definitely call him. " At that time, Xie's younger brother Xie Wan.
In the third year of Shengping, Xie Wan and the Northern Army Commander were divided into two groups, and they went to the Northern Expedition before Yan. When Xie Wan was in the Northern Expedition, he could not comfort the soldiers and mistakenly thought that the enemy had arrived, which led to the foot soldiers being disturbed and being in flight. Xie Wan also escaped alone, and the sergeant didn't kill him for Xie An's sake. Soon, Xie Wan was rescued from Shu Ren. This greatly threatened Xie's power. From then on, Xie An became interested in being an official. He is over forty years old.
In the fourth year of Shengping, Xie An was invited by Huan Wen, the general of Xiliang, to take charge of Sima. Xie An set out from Xinting, and officials saw him off. Cheng in the suggestion joked with him: "The first step has repeatedly violated the will of the imperial court, and people often talk about how Xie Anshi will face the people in Jiangdong if he refuses to go out to be an official! How will Jiangdong people face the official Xie Anshi now? " Xie An was deeply ashamed. Huan Wen was very happy when he arrived in Huan Wen. They talked about their life experiences and laughed all day. After leaving, Huan Wen said to the left and right, "Have you ever seen such a guest?" Later, Huan Wen went to Xie An's residence and met Xie An to arrange her hair. Xie learned slowly, so it took her a long time to learn headscarf. Huan Wen no longer said, "Let Sima put on his hat and meet again." That's how Huan Wen values Xie An.
Five years after the Shengping, when Huan Wen was about to go to the Northern Expedition, Xie Wan died. Xie An took the opportunity to send books to the funeral and left Huan Wen. Soon, he was appointed as the chief executive of Xing Wu. He had an average reputation when he was in office, but he was remembered by everyone after he left office. Later, he was recruited into North Korea as a servant, and was promoted to the position of official minister and China bodyguard.
royal family
In the first year of Xian 'an, Huan Wen's Northern Expedition was defeated by Fangtou. In order to save his reputation, he followed his advice, deposed Sima Yi, Duke of Haixi, and made Sima Yi emperor, that is, Jin.
In the second year of Xian 'an, Sima Yi, who ascended the throne less than a year ago, was seriously ill. Huan Wen recommended Xie An to accept the testamentary edict. On July 28th, Sima Yi died of illness.
In the first year of Kang's reign, Huan Wen went to Beijing to visit the filial piety emperor Sima Yao, and the Queen Mother ordered Xie An to meet in the new pavilion. At that time, people in Jiankang City were floating. Some people say that Huan Wen will kill Wang He and Xie An, and the Jinshi world will fall into the hands of others. Wang was very scared, but Xie An looked the same and said, "The survival of the Golden House depends on this trip." After arriving in Huan Wen, the officials walked down the aisle and bowed. Huan Wen was heavily guarded and met with officials. At that time, people with official prestige panicked. Wang was so anxious that he was sweating like a pig that he even took down the version in his hand. Only Xie An calmly seated. After he sat down, he said to Huan Wen, "I heard that governors have a good way to guard their neighbors. Why does Gong Ming need to leave people behind the wall? " Huan Wen smiled and said, "That's why we have to do this." So he ordered the people around him to let them leave and talked with Xie An for a long time. Because of Xie An's wit and calmness, Huan Wen never dared to attack them, and soon returned to Gu Shu. At the beginning, Wang He and Xie An were on the same starting line. At this point, everyone knows their own advantages and disadvantages.
At that time, Emperor Xiaowu was young and weak, and there were important officials outside. Xie An and Wang tried their best to help the guards and finally made Kim's room safe. In March of the same year, Huan Wen was seriously ill, so he suggested that the court give him nine notes and asked Justin to draft the playing table. After Xie saw it, he began to revise the manuscript, and he didn't change it for more than ten days. After Huan Wen's death, the matter of adding Nine Tin was put on hold.
Make every effort to assist politics.
Two months after Huan Wen's death, Xie An was promoted to Shangshu and has been in charge of state affairs. As a general, Xie An manages state affairs with Wang Biao, while he is in charge of general history.
In the first year of Taiyuan, Xie An intended to let consort Wang Yun leave the city, so Huan Wen's younger brother Huan Chong was demoted to Xuzhou secretariat, and Wang Yun took over. The court appointed Xie An to be responsible for the affairs of China's books. In order to ease contradictions and stabilize the political situation, Xie An adopted the ruling policy of focusing on the long-term and putting harmony and stability first. At that time, Huan Chong also deeply understood the important principle, thinking that his moral ambition was not as good as Xie An's, and he willingly took guarding the four directions as his own responsibility. Xie An also used military commanders such as Huan Chong, Xu, Yu, Yan, Qing and Yang, and was also the secretariat of Xuzhou, guarding the Jingkou. Later, he was transferred to the seven-state military commander and served as the secretariat of Jingzhou. Although suspicious of Huan Chong, but still achieved the goal of "Jingyang balance of power, the world is at peace", * * * and the former Qin regime in the north. Xie Cunren was relieved, assisted the court and dissuaded officials. Even Wang Sima Daozi of Huiji relies on Xie An's assistance in reconciliation. At that time, the former Qin dynasty invaded the frontier, and urgent articles spread frequently, and countries such as Liang and Yi successively fell. In the face of the crisis, he remained calm and made long-term plans, and was very lenient both at home and abroad. All officials are of one mind and one mind, regardless of trivial matters, and devote themselves to national affairs. At that time, people were full of praise for Xie An, comparing him to Wang Dao, thinking that he was delicate and superior.
At that time, Jiankang Palace was destroyed and Xie An planned to rebuild it. Wang Biao and others argued with Xie An on the grounds of foreign invasion, but Xie An didn't listen and decided to build the palace alone. The design of the palace, everything depends on the astronomical phenomena, conforms to the orientation of Polaris, and the servants have no complaints.
In the same year, Xie An served as the secretariat of Yangzhou, and the court allowed Xie An to bring 100 people into the temple. At that time, Emperor Xiaowu began to take charge, and Xie An was promoted to be the minister of Chinese books, a general in title of generals in ancient times, and recorded history. Xie An resolutely resigned as a general in title of generals in ancient times. At that time, the sky was abnormal and it was dry for years. Xie An wrote a letter, advocating the revival of the declining family Hou Guohe, and looking for the descendants of the founding heroes in the early Jin Dynasty to reward them.
Choose to break Qin
In July 2002, Jia Xie 'an was appointed as Si Tuleideng by the imperial court, and all military and political officials in the rear army under its jurisdiction were equipped with senior government officials. Xie An refused to resign. The court also appointed Xie An as the military holiday of the five Yan States of Shisong, DuDu Yang, Yu, Xu, Yanqing and Youzhou.
At that time, the former Qin Dynasty became more and more powerful under the rule of its monarch Fu Jian, and the Jin Army was at a disadvantage in the war with the former Qin Dynasty. In the same year, due to his weak defense in Guangling, Xie An, regardless of other people's comments, strongly recommended his nephew Xie Xuan as the secretariat of Yanzhou, guarding Guangling and being responsible for the military defense in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the north of the Yangtze River. Xie Anze himself is in charge of the military affairs of Yang, Yu, Xu, Yan and Qing, and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Xie Xuan lived up to his uncle's great trust, selected him in Guangling, trained elite soldiers, selected Liu Laozhi, He Qian and others, and trained Beifu soldiers.
In the third year of Yuan Dynasty, former general Fu Pi led 70,000 infantry cavalry to attack Xiangyang. Fu Jian sent more than 100,000 people to camp in Xiangyang in three ways. Xiangyang Shoujiang Zhu Xu defended himself for nearly a year.
In four years, Xiangyang City was broken and Zhu Xu was captured. Fu Jian sent Peng Chao to besiege Pengcheng, and the battle of Huainan in Qin Jin broke out. Xie An was in health insurance, and Xie Xuan led 50,000 soldiers from the northern government to kill the enemy from Guangling. Xie Xuan won all four wars and wiped out Qin Jun.
In May of the fifth year of Yuan Dynasty, Xie An was appointed as General Wei of the third division of Kaifu Yitong and was promoted to Jianchang County.
Battle of water
In the eighth year of Yuan Dynasty, Fu Jian led a million troops south, aiming at annexing the Eastern Jin Dynasty and unifying the whole country. At that time, the military situation was critical and Jiankang was in shock, but Xie An remained as cool as a cucumber. He was in charge of military affairs as a viceroy and sent 80,000 troops including Xie Shi, Xie Xuan, Xie Yan and Huan Yi to resist. Xie Xuan's northern army is very brave. But the strength of the former Qin Dynasty was ten times that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Xie Xuan felt a little nervous. Before departure, Xie Xuan specially went to Xie An's house to say goodbye and ask for instructions on how to fight this battle well. Xie An looked calm and fearless, and replied, "The court has other plans." After that, I was silent, Xie Xuan dared not ask again, and sent his friend Zhang Xuan to ask for instructions. Xie An then drove to the villa in the mountain to get together with relatives and friends, and then sat down with Zhang Xuan to play chess and bet on the villa. Xie An usually plays less chess than Zhang Xuan. On this day, Zhang Xuan was flustered and lost to Xie An instead. Xie An said to his nephew Yang Tan, "This is a villa." Then he went hiking and didn't come back until evening. Then call Xie Xuan and other generals and give them confidential information.
At that time, Huan Chong heard that Jingzhou was in a critical situation and planned to contribute 3,000 troops to health. Xie An said to the soldiers sent: "I have arranged it here. You'd better go back and strengthen the defense in the west! " The soldier returned to Jingzhou and told Huan Chong that Huan Chong was worried. He said to the soldiers: "Xie Gong's bearing is really admirable, but he doesn't know how to fight. Seeing the enemy approaching, he was still so carefree: with so few troops, he sent some inexperienced young people to take command. I think we are all going to fail and be captured. "
In June of the same year 165438+ 10, Xie Xuan sent Liu Laozhi to attack suddenly with five thousand chosen men and won a great victory in Luo Jian. In 65438+February, the two sides fought a decisive battle at Feishui. Xie Xuan, Xie Yan and Huan Yi led the 70,000 Jin army and defeated the 150,000 troops of the former Qin Dynasty commanded by Fu Jian and Fu Rong. The battle of Feishui ended in an all-round victory for Jin.
Xie An was playing chess with a guest when there was a good news from the State of Qin, saying that the Jin army was not defeated in the Battle of Feishui. After reading the good news, he put it next to his seat and quietly continued to play chess. When the guest couldn't help asking him, Xie An said flatly, "Nothing. The children defeated the enemy. " Xie couldn't restrain his joy until the chess game was over and the guests left. He jumped into the room and broke all the teeth at the bottom of the clogs. The victory of the Battle of Feishui made Xie An's popularity reach its peak. Thanks to the efforts of the Presidential Army, we visited Taibao.
Jealous of high achievement.
After the war, Xie An requested the Northern Expedition, so Xie An was appointed as the governor of Yang, Jiang, Jing, Si, Yu, Xu, Yan, Qing, Ji, You, He, Ning, Yi, Yong and Liang, and an extra holiday was added. The remaining positions remain unchanged, and the two are engaged in Zhonglang. Thank you for resigning from the position and title of CPIC. The court banned it.
Huan Chong died shortly after the Battle of Feishui. Xie An wouldn't let Xie Xuan serve as the secretariat of Jing and Jiangzhou, for fear that the authority of Jing and Jiangzhou in Huan would not be satisfied. Huan Shiqian made meritorious military service in Mianyang. Considering that Huan Shiqian was brave and good at fighting, Xie An was afraid that it was difficult to control, so he appointed Huan as the secretariat of Jingzhou and ordered Huan Yi to change Zhenjiang, Yuzhou and Shiqian. Xie An is in power. In the long run, there is no struggle between subordinates, which is generally the case.
In August of the 9th year of Yuan Dynasty, Xie An began the Northern Expedition. East Road Xie Xuan led the northern government soldiers from Guangling to the north, and recovered Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Sizhou and Yuzhou all the way. The central and western armies captured Luyang and Luoyang, and recovered Liangzhou and Yizhou. At this point, the situation of Huaihe River-Hanshui River-Yangtze River was changed to the Yellow River before the Feishui War in Qin and Eastern Jin Dynasties, and the whole area south of the Yellow River was re-incorporated into the territory of Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Xie An's advanced planning contributed to the great victory in the battle of Feishui. What's more, from the pre-war "gambling on the mountain villa" to the post-war "stealing children", Xie An has always adopted a very calm attitude, which played a key role in stabilizing the people's hearts at that time. The war ended in Xie's reputation. But at that time, Wang Sima Daozi was accused of autocracy, and the villains began to take the opportunity to fan the flames and frame Zhongliang. There is bad blood between Xie An and Xiao Wudi. One day, Emperor Xiaowu invited Huan Yi to give a banquet, and Xie An sat with him. Emperor Xiao ordered Huan Yi to play the flute, and Huan Yi played a song with great aplomb. Then I put down my flute and said, "I don't care as much about the piano as the flute, as long as I cooperate with Song in charge." Please allow me to play the piano and sing, and ask a flute player to accompany me. "Emperor Xiaowu thought he was very talented in music, so he ordered a royal prostitute to play the flute. Huan Yi added, "People in the imperial court must not cooperate well with ministers. I have a slave who is good at cooperating with my ministers. "Filial piety emperor wudi appreciated his indiscretion more, so he was allowed to call him a domestic slave. When the slave played the flute, Huan Yi caressed the Zheng and sang a sad song, saying, "It is not easy for a monarch, but it is difficult for a minister. Loyalty is not obvious, but there are doubts. Meng will not publish it. My second uncle is against rumors. "His singing is full of passion and powerful. Xie An wept for it, and tears wet her skirt. At the end of the song, Xie Anyue came to Huan Yi and stroked his beard and said, "Your performance here is very unusual!" Filial piety emperor ashamed.
Give up the right to die
In April of the tenth year of Taiyuan, Xie An took the initiative to hand over power under the pretext of rescuing Fu Jian, and invited himself out of the Step Mountain in Guangling Town to build a new city to avoid disaster. Emperor Xiao gave a farewell dinner in Xichi, raised a glass and wrote a poem. Although Xie was entrusted by the imperial court, his interest in seclusion in Dongshan remained undiminished and was exposed in various ways. When I leave the town and the new town, I will take my whole family to make ships and equipment for going to sea. I plan to wait until the world is generally stable, and then return to Dongshan by water. But before long, Xie An was seriously ill. The court demanded to measure the current situation, stop the procession, called on his son and general to disarm, let his soldiers rest, and ordered General Xu Long to enter Luoyang. Xie Xuan, the commander of the vanguard, confronted the enemies of Cheng Peng and Peixian, and appointed Xie Xuan as the governor. If the enemy troops on the defensive in the second city fight back by terrain, things will attack when the water rises next year. Emperor Xiao ordered his attendants to go to Xincheng to comfort him, and Xie An was allowed to return to Jiankang. I heard that my driver had entered Jiankangmen in Xizhou, thinking that his ambition had failed and his achievement had failed, so he was deeply moved and said to the people around him, "When Huan Wen was in office, he was always worried that he could not protect himself. Suddenly one day, I dreamed that I was sitting in Huan Wen's car and drove 16 miles. I see a white chicken, stop. Sitting in Huan Wen's car, omen will take his place in charge of state affairs. Sixteen years. Just 16 years. Bai Fengyou, now in the den, is a bad omen. I probably won't get up from this disease again! " So he wrote to abdicate, and Emperor Xiaowu sent servants to serve the imperial will of the monks. Before Xie An set out from the stone, the golden drum suddenly broke, and Xie An never made a mistake in speaking. A fallacy suddenly appeared on this day, which made people feel very strange.
On August 22nd of the same year, Xie An died in Jiankang at the age of 66. After hearing the news, Liang Wudi wept bitterly and hanged himself in the court for three days. He gave a coffin, a robe and a suit, as well as one million yuan, thousands of pieces of cloth and 500 kilograms of wax as gifts. posthumous title was a teacher and posthumous title was "Wen Jing". Ann has no private residence, so Xiao ordered a funeral in his mansion. When buried, its funeral specifications are the same as those in Huan Wen. And for defeating Fu Jian, Luling County, posthumous title.
June 14th, the first year of Yong, Han and Wei Dynasties
