From this short story, we can see how afraid Emperor Wu was of Ji An. You know, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once summoned Wei Qing in the toilet. You don't have to wear a hat when you summon the palace, but Emperor Wu never dared to see Ji An without a hat. Therefore, such a talented Emperor Wu is not afraid of the powerful ministers or the Huns. Why? Afraid? Gian?

Ji An, born in Puyang, Ji An, came from a bureaucratic family. His ancestors have been Ren Qinghe doctors in Korea for generations. Ji An, for the sake of his father, was the official who washed horses for the Prince of Jingdi. Everyone is afraid of him because of his integrity. After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he was appointed as an envoy, that is, the squire around the emperor.
In the third year after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, there was a war between Fujian and Ou Vietnamese in southeastern Vietnam. Emperor Wu sent Ji An to inspect, and Ji An stopped when he arrived in Wuxian (now Suzhou). Instead of continuing south, he turned back.
After returning to Beijing, Ji An reported his work to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying: Dongyue people just like fighting, and this matter is not worth our bother to ask. This time, Ji An had the audacity to disobey orders, which was a capital crime at that time.
Soon, a fire broke out in Hanoi County (now Wuzhi, Henan Province). The fire was fierce, and 1000 families suffered. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Ji An to check the situation. As a result, Ji An did not go to Hanoi County, but went to Henan County (now Luoyang, Henan Province). Ji An came back and reported to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: I went to Henan County and found floods and droughts. The victims were flooded and the father and son ate each other. I took the liberty of proclaiming your will.

Ji An was a very special person in the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. He can resist the imperial edict or falsely preach it. Both of them were capital crimes, but Emperor Wu did not cure him, but promoted him to be a county magistrate. Ji An felt ashamed to be a county magistrate, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. When Emperor Wu heard the news, he recalled Ji An as a doctor in Taizhong.
In addition to repeatedly disobeying the emperor's wishes, Ji An criticized Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying that he was greedy at heart and pretended to be benevolent on the surface. This image is too funny to imitate the ancient sages. This time, Ji An angered Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and all the ministers in the DPRK made a sweat for him, thinking that Ji An had stirred up a hornet's nest this time.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty retired from the DPRK, he didn't punish Ji An, but said that he was too stupid and straightforward.
Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? Afraid? Gian? During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he sent troops to crusade against Xiongnu many times, which solved the situation that the Han Dynasty was weak to Xiongnu in the early Han Dynasty. How could such a talented emperor really be afraid of Ji An? In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty regarded Ji An as the Wei Zhi around him and was tolerant of Ji An. Ji An was appreciated by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty with three characteristics.
1, serious and honest
Ji An is an official in Jingdi. Because he is solemn enough to be afraid of him, Lianjing Imperial Capital is afraid of him. After Emperor Wu acceded to the throne, he was also afraid of Ji An.
Stills of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a very prized minister named Gong. This man is a hypocrite. He often discussed official business with other ministers and went to see Emperor Wu after reaching an agreement. After seeing the emperor, Gong did not express his opinions first, and let his colleagues speak first, but stood by and silently observed the leader's face. When he found that Emperor Wu was dissatisfied, he immediately turned to the emperor and refuted the minister's suggestion.
For this reason, ministers are always speechless and cannot tell how bitter it is to eat Rhizoma Coptidis. Because Emperor Wu trusted Gong very much, everyone dared to be angry but didn't speak, except Ji An. He was very dissatisfied with Gong have it both ways's behavior of pandering to the loyal emperor.
At a court meeting, Ji An exposed GongSunHong's cunning behavior in front of all the ministers. He said that the people of Qi always cheat and have no truth. Gong Sunhong initially discussed some things with us, but after meeting the emperor, he temporarily changed his mind. This is the minister's infidelity.
On another occasion, Ji An once again said in front of the minister that GongSunHong had a high salary, but he was covered with a quilt. This is to steal the reputation of incorruptibility and deceive the world.
Gong Sunhong is a kind-hearted and insidious person. In the face of Ji An's several attacks, he played a round for himself. Ji An not only impeached GongSunHong as an important minister, but also cursed the powerful minister Zhang Tang for being childless. Because Zhang Tang wanted to amend the laws of the Han Dynasty after he became a justice, Ji An rebuked Zhang Tang for failing to carry forward the achievements of the former emperor, curb the evil thoughts of the people, achieve national stability and make the people rich, which can be said to be nothing. But to create political achievements for yourself by breaking the law here all day, which will only make your family break the incense.

Visible Ji An integrity is not afraid of dignitaries as their agents, especially jealous hypocrites like GongSunHong, ministers are at a respectful distance from sb. Only Ji An dared to stand up for the righteousness and give his life.
2. Ji' an has outstanding ability.
Ji An often talks big in front of the emperor, nagging all day, and just spits on the emperor's face. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very tired of him, so he put him in Tan County (Gudonghai County) of Shandong Province from today's Western Han Dynasty as a satrap, and there was no change in his official position. After Ji 'an came to Shandong, he may be acclimatized, stay in bed all day and stay indoors for a long time. Ji An chose some capable assistants for himself, gave them some trivial matters, and took charge of some important matters himself.
Ji 'an worships Taoism. When he governed Donghai County, he adopted Taoism? Governing by doing nothing? The concept of governing the country is not disturbing the people and there are few clean things. A year later, Donghai County was reorganized and Ji 'an became famous. He lay in bed and managed Donghai County well in just one year, and everyone praised him.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned of this, he immediately recalled Ji An and promoted him to the rank of Nine Qing.

Ji An has been at odds with GongSunHong. In order to attack Ji An, GongSunHong asked Emperor Wu to appoint Ji An as the official in charge of the capital. It is not easy to be an official in the right literature and history. Most relatives living in the capital have strong backgrounds and have tried to offend powerful people. Poor management is dereliction of duty. As a result, in just a few years, Ji An's capital rectification did not offend dignitaries, but powerful people were afraid of him.
Not only that, but even C is afraid of him. Liu An, king of Huainan, said that pacifying Prime Minister Gong was as easy as shaking leaves in autumn, while Ji An was very difficult to deal with.
Visible, Ji An deserves to be the first minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and Liu Kezhuang, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, called Bao Zheng the Ji An of the Song Dynasty.
Ji An is the minister of the country.
Whether Ji An resisted imperial edicts, faked imperial edicts, impeached powerful ministers or not, his starting point was very simple. From the fundamental interests of the country, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also saw Ji An's faithfulness and honesty.
Ji An is sickly. He was ill for three months at a time. According to the law of the Han dynasty, he was only ill for three months, and he would be dismissed if he exceeded it. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the back door for Ji An and gave him several months' sick leave.

Later, Ji An was seriously ill, and he asked Zhu Zhuang, a fellow villager, to take sick leave for him. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Zhu Zhuang: What kind of person is Ji An?
Zhu Zhuang: Ji An is an official of the imperial court, but if the emperor dies, he can be loyal to the young master, and no one can change his loyalty.
Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded and said that in ancient times there were always loyal ministers of Anguo, and Ji An was just like them.
Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was tolerant of Ji An and admired his ability and loyalty, he did not value him. He used palace, Zhang Tang and other ministers who were good at pandering. However, Liang Wudi's officials were not easy to do, and many of them came to no good end. Although Ji An contradicted Emperor Wudi several times, he ended well and died in the position of the satrap of Huaiyang.
