At first glance, Zhu Gejin is just Zhuge Liang's younger brother. Looking at it again, his uniqueness and his anti-common sense are so unparalleled and reach the peak.
Studying Zhu Gejin can not only refresh our understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, but also refresh our outlook on history and life to a certain extent.
Do nothing
At the age of 26, Zhu Gejin was separated from his family when he fled the war. He came to Jiangdong alone and met Sun Quan's brother-in-law Hiroshi. Hiroshi was surprised by Zhu Gejin's talent and strongly recommended it to his brother-in-law. At this time, Sun Quan, who just took charge of Jiangdong, was employing people, so he left Zhu Gejin as a public guest, let him be a long history (secretary-general) first, and then let him be a Sima (chief of staff).
Sun Quan's brother-in-law, Hiroshi, left the only impression in the history books that he recommended Zhu Gejin. It seems that he only recommended Zhu Gejin in his life. At that time, Zhu Gejin was a refugee with no background, property and work experience. It is impossible to rely on relationships and bribes. Let's just say that he taught students in accordance with their aptitude, and he didn't talk about the general trend of the world, nor did he make any reasonable suggestions. However, Hiroichi was surprised to see him. Sun Quan regarded him as a treasure and left him with an important task. Zhu Gejin's extraordinary has just begun, and his life is full of magic.
From the age of 26 to the age of 465,438+0, Jiangdong Group, where Zhu Gejin worked, experienced a series of major events, such as Battle of Red Cliffs, the Southern Expedition, the Battle of Hefei, the Battle of ruxu's Mouth, and the marriage of Sun and Liu. It can be said that good news spread frequently, Lien Chan in Lian Shengwen, flowers and plants, and everyone was happy. But in these fifteen years, he didn't have an idea that went down in history, didn't lead a battle, or even didn't.
At the age of 4 1, in order to celebrate Liu Bei's occupation of Shu and urge Liu Bei to return Jingzhou borrowed from Soochow, Zhu Gejin finally appeared and went to Chengdu. Because during the negotiation, he and his brother Zhuge Liang, who had been away for many years, only talked about business in public and never met in private, and the style of the two brothers, which was clear about public and private, was passed down as a beautiful talk. But if there is any result in this negotiation, there really isn't. Of course, it's not that easy to come back, but as a representative sent by the powerful faction, he didn't even get any benefits back. It was a disgrace to his mission, but Zhu Gejin was not criticized by leaders and colleagues after he returned. This job is really easy to do.
At the age of 45, he and Monroe crusaded against Guan Yu and recovered Jingzhou. This time Zhuge Jin really just followed him, but he still didn't do anything. However, the winner has a share of such great credit, so he picked up the title of Hou Xuancheng for nothing (Zhuge Liang was named Hou Wuxiang by Liu Chan only after Liu Bei's death). At the same time, Lu Meng, who made great contributions to Jiangdong Group, got the position of magistrate in Nanjun County and was stationed in the public security (equivalent to giving him a piece of land to show his merits). Who would have thought that Lv Meng died as soon as he took office, and Zhu Gejin easily took Lv Meng's place and enjoyed success.
47-year-old, I heard that Liu Bei wanted to make a crusade against Dongwu with the help of Shu, and Sun Quan wanted to make peace. Zhu Gejin wrote to Liu Bei and said, Liu, didn't we just recapture Jingzhou and kill Guan Yu? You must feel that you have a deep hatred for us and refuse to make peace with us. It's really mean. I've thought about it for you. You listen to me, not the general around you. Let me ask you, is Guan Yu more important or the emperor? Do you want Jingzhou or the world? We just killed Guan Yu, and Cao Wei abolished the emperor. Both families have a grudge against you. Who should you get back at first? Think about it, isn't it obvious?
Is this persuasion or provocation? Although the reason is not thick, it is too thick, isn't it? Even if Liu Bei hesitated at that time, he would kill him immediately after reading this letter. I can't help wondering whether Zhu Gejin said these words to Liu Bei for peace or to express his loyalty to Sun Quan.
At that time, someone told Sun Quan that Zhu Gejin contacted Liu Bei at this time in order to betray his country and seek glory. Sun Quan said: Zhu Gejin would never do anything wrong to me, just as I would never do anything wrong to Zhu Gejin. It is foolish to tell on others. No wonder they didn't even leave their names in the history books, and they didn't want to think that Zhu Gejin dared to carry Sun Quan behind his back when he wrote to Liu Bei. In the past, such a letter was tantamount to suicide in Shu.
At the age of 48, Sun Quan is king. He was promoted to General Zuo, Public Security Governor, Fake Festival Hou and Wanling Hou. No sooner had he been promoted than Cao Pi attacked Wu. On the whole, Wu won the battle, but when he arrived, he was defeated, but he was still not punished or criticized.
At the age of 52, Zhu Gejin and Sun Quan split their forces to attack Xiangyang, an important town of Wei, but both were defeated. It's normal that he didn't get punished this time, but he was promoted, from General Zuo to General A title of generals in ancient times (Zhang Fei's position in Shu is just like this, and more people died).
At the age of 55, Sun He was appointed general of Yuzhou, left-back and shepherd. You know, Yuzhou, one of the thirteen States in the world, is not in the hands of Wu, but the territory of Wei, bordering Wu. The subtext of giving Zhu Gejin this position is, brother, work hard and give you all this territory!
At the age of 62, Sun Quan once again went north to Wei and sent Lu Xun and He to Xiangyang. Lu Xun sent one of his relatives, Han Bian, to report to the court. On the way back, he was captured by Wei Jun. Hearing this, Zhu Gejin was very frightened and wrote to Lu Xun, saying: The troops led by the emperor himself have all gone back, leaving only us. The enemy captured Han Bian, and our enemy, really or not, knows it. Now that the river is almost dry, let's get out of here before the ship runs aground! Lu Xun didn't answer, urged his hand to grow vegetables and played chess with the generals himself. Zhu Gejin said: Lu Xun is resourceful. He must have his reasons for doing so. So I came to see Lu Xun myself. Lu Xun told him that the enemy knew that the emperor had gone back and would definitely concentrate on us. Now that the enemy knows the truth, we should be calm and steady, and then withdraw from this place with clever tricks. If the enemy sees that we are leaving today, the enemy will know that we are afraid and will definitely come after us, then we are finished.
Finally, due to the arrangement of Lu Xun, Zhu Gejin sat in the fleet (can I understand this as sitting honestly? ), Lu Xun led all the military forces to Xiangyang. The enemy was awed by Lu Xun's fame and immediately returned to the city. Zhu Gejin put the boat out, just ordered the boat to sail, and Lu Xun slowly reorganized the team and boarded the boat with great fanfare. The enemy didn't know what was going on, but they were afraid to pursue it, so the whole army retreated safely.
This is the performance of 62-year-old Zhu Gejin. When something goes wrong, his performance is panic. With the backbone, he is responsible for sitting down. The only commendable thing is to listen to people's advice to eat enough and do what you want. Compared with my younger brother Zhuge Liang who died two years ago, I wonder if Zhu Gejin is ashamed?
At the age of 68, Sun Quanbing cut Wei in four ways, and his eldest son Zhuge Ke led each way. Wei sent Sima Yi to defeat all the four roads in Wu Jun.
This year, Zhu Gejin passed away. At the end of his life, he told him not to spend more money on the funeral. His life ended like this.
Is it over?
Of course not.
I'm going to introduce another Zhu Gejin, an idle Zhu Gejin.
Do nothing. Do nothing.
Zhu Gejin has been working for 42 years, either doing nothing or doing nothing, and has made extraordinary achievements in his extraordinary post. He was the most unsuccessful record holder in the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty. And as a courtier, he won the trust of the leader more than his younger brother, who was talented and devoted himself to death! Does this mean that Sun Quan is very loving? On the contrary, Sun Quan was a despicable and ungrateful monarch, and his brother Sun Ce laid a solid foundation for him. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he only made Sun Ce king, unwilling to give him the title of honorary emperor. He used his sister as a political bargaining chip, which caused his sister's misfortune all her life, and he never saw her compensate. Treating his son, he abandoned the Prince Sun He and gave him Sun Ba, the king of Lu. For Wu Dong's four heroes-Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng and Lu Xun, Sun Quan did not value their descendants, but cared for Zhu Gejin and Zhuge Ke. On his deathbed, Zhuge Ke was appointed Minister of Life. It can be said that Sun Quan's kindness to Zhu Gejin in this life exceeds the sum of all others! There is no love for no reason in the world. Zhu Gejin and Sun Quan never said it directly, but expressed their inclination slightly and outlined their intentions. If Sun Quan doesn't like listening to anything, he will give up what he is doing and turn to other topics, and gradually borrow other things from scratch to gain Sun Quan's approval with his own views on similar things, so Sun Quan's ideas are often open.
Zhi Zhu, the prefect of Wujun, recommended Sun Quan to be an official when he was just Sun Ce's younger brother. Sun Quan usually respects him very much. Even if he is dissatisfied, it is hard to say that he is very wronged. Zhu Gejin saw the leader's intention, but he didn't dare to say it openly and clearly, so he wrote a script about how Sun Quan reprimanded Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi was persuaded by the reprimand. Sun Quan was very happy after reading it, and said with a smile, You have untied all the knots in my heart. Yan Hui, a disciple of Confucius, can coordinate other people's relationships and bring them closer, so you are as great as Yan Hui.
Yin Mo, a captain under Sun Quan, made Sun Quan unhappy, and Sun Quan planned to kill him. Many ministers pleaded for Yin Mo, and Sun Quan was even more angry. He argued with the intercessor for many times, but only Zhu Gejin said nothing. When Sun Quan asked him why he didn't speak, Zhu Gejin said: Like Yin Mo, I fled to Jiangdong. We are both poor people who want nothing. Thanks to your majesty's kindness, we just came here today. We can't supervise and urge each other to repay your kindness, which makes Yin Mo fail to live up to the kindness of the holy family and commit a crime. It's too late for me to confess. I really dare not say anything. Sun Quan was very sad and said, I forgave him for your sake.
Yu Fan was exiled because he was wild and outspoken, and only Zhu Gejin interceded for him many times. In his letter to relatives and friends, Yu Fan said: Zhu Gejin is really a kind person. Thanks to his brave words and good name for me, I offended too many people and angered your majesty too many times, which made your majesty deeply disgusted. There is no hope of salvation.
