Gu is a famous family in Jiangnan. Gu Yong was very clever since he was a child. When he was a teenager, he studied piano and calligraphy from Cai Yong, a writer and calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cai Yong lived in seclusion in Wu. Cai Yong admired Gu Yong's talent and thought he would achieve something in the future, so he gave his name to the other party. In the year of Gu Yong's weak crown, Gu Yong was recommended as the magistrate of Hefei by state and county officials. Later, he served as a local official in Louxian, Qua, Shangyu and other places, and made great achievements wherever he went. In the fifth year of Jian 'an (200), Sun Quan was also the magistrate of Huiji, with Gu Yong as the county magistrate and acting as the magistrate to handle all affairs. Later, he moved to Dali to serve Chang, and was also ordered by Shangshu to be named the township head. In the fourth year of Huang Wu (225), he changed to Taichang and became the Duke of Liling, succeeding Sun Shao (182-245) as Prime Minister and Minister of Shang Ping until his death.
When he became prime minister, Gu Yong often visited the people's sufferings and put forward many appropriate and effective measures, which made great achievements, but he never took credit or bullied others. He gets along with Sun Quan, pays attention to the etiquette of monarch and minister, is loyal to the country, and puts national interests first in everything. Be kind and modest to colleagues and subordinates. He has his own unique opinions and ideas, considers problems thoroughly, handles problems safely, and pays great attention to methods. With his careful assistance, Wu rose in an all-round way in a short time and became prosperous, and was called a "famous minister".
In November (243), the sixth year of the Red Army, Gu Yong died of illness. Sun Quan, dressed in plain clothes, paid his respects in person, and posthumous title "mourned".
First of all, honesty and generosity
It is said that Cai came back from Shuofang and once escaped in Wuxian. Gu Yong followed him to learn to play the piano and learn calligraphy. All the cities in this state recommended him. At the age of 20, he was the magistrate of Hefei County. Later, he was transferred to Louxian, Youa, Shangyu and other places, with considerable political achievements. Sun Quan, also the prefect of Huiji, didn't come to the county. He appointed Gu Yong as the county magistrate to handle the affairs of the satrap, pacify and eliminate the strong thieves, and the counties were peaceful and peaceful, and the officials and people obeyed. A few years later, he entered the court as Sajima.
Gu Yong is lighter than Jue Lu, honest and self-interested. Sun Quan is Wu Huanghou, and Gu Yong has been promoted many times, but he never tells his family and subordinates. Everyone was surprised to learn that afterwards.
Gu Yong's adopted son makes sense. Once Sun Quan married a niece (Gu's granddaughter) and invited Gu Yong and his son and grandson Gu Tan (Cao Shangshu, a senior official at that time) to a wedding banquet. At that time, the monarch and his subjects were very happy. Gu Tan was too drunk to stop. Gu Yong was angry and had to stay until tomorrow.
The next day, Gu Tan sternly criticized him face to face, saying, "You regard humiliation as a virtue, and I respect prudence as a festival. At that time, Xiao He haing s ngor made great contributions, but when he met Emperor Gaozu, he seemed speechless. Have you contributed to your country? With our Guggenheim qualifications and favor! Why are you dancing so proudly? Although it is because of drunkenness, it is actually a bad idea to forget respect and modesty. It seems that you must have ruined my family! " With that, he turned and lay down against the wall, ignoring Tan. Gu Tan regretted standing aside for a whole hour (two hours) before being sent away by his grandfather.
Gu Yong likes playing Go. Most of his chess moves are positive steps, and every step is well-founded and orderly. Although he can score points, it is a good example for beginners to learn, but he doesn't have too many whimsy, and he belongs to a kung fu master.
After Sun Quan came to power, he trusted Gu Yong very much and made him prime minister for 19 years.
The descendants of the three kings of the State of Wu opposed Go, thinking that it was useless to play Go, and asked Wei Yao to write a Game Theory to discuss the futility of playing Go. Gu Yong did not agree. He is opposed to saying that a good thing only talks about its advantages, while saying that a bad thing only picks out its disadvantages, which is not in line with the principle of objective view of things and "materialist dialectics." As far as winning Weiqi is concerned, as a professional chess player, you should play chess every day, study chess every day, aim at playing high-quality and artistic Weiqi, prove yourself with good results, and win glory for your country in the international arena. As an amateur chess player, you should put your job first. In your spare time, you should regard playing Go as a tool to hone your character, experience the profoundness of Go skills, and so on to help you work better. We can't focus on playing chess regardless of our workers' amateur players, nor can we say that it is a common phenomenon not to regard playing chess as the first professional player, which can't be used as the basis for the harm of Go. On the contrary, the vast majority of people correctly handle the relationship between work and hobbies. They have made great contributions to society through the mutual promotion of work and hobbies. This should be written in great detail. Gu Yong is a person who knows the truth of Go. Because of his face, Sun Quan said nothing to the three princes and others, and still played chess with the guests at the official residence, pretending not to hear what the prince said.
Gu Yong's eldest son was named Gu Shao, and Sun Quan decided to betroth his brother Sun Ce's daughter to Gu Shao. Gu Yong himself is the prime minister, and he is also a "royal relative" with high and heavy power. The prince is still his junior, so no one regards him as he wants to play Go. Besides, in his view, playing chess is beneficial and harmless as long as you are moderate and understand the truth of Go.
The moon has ups and downs, and people have joys and sorrows. It is said that Gu Yong's son, Gu Shao, was sent to Zhang Yu County to be a satrap. Due to his busy work, he unfortunately fell ill and died.
When the news reached Gu Yong, he was playing chess with his men. When he saw a messenger without a personal letter from his son, he knew that his son was dead. His expression hasn't changed. He is still playing chess. Is Gu Yong too cruel not to grieve? "White-haired people send black-haired people" is the saddest thing in the history of China. As a prime minister, Gu Yong's grief is stronger than ordinary people, but he just doesn't want everyone to grieve with him. He held his hands tightly, his nails pinched his palm, and blood dripped on the mattress and chessboard, but he still insisted on playing chess. Gu Yong couldn't help feeling sad after the guests left. He covered his face and mouth with a towel and burst into tears. ...
On the one hand, we can see the charm of Weiqi, on the other hand, we can also see the mind of Gu Yong, the prime minister who plays Weiqi. It's really "the prime minister can punt in his stomach"!
Second, strict and fair behavior.
In the fourth year in Huang Wu, Gu Yong went to Wuxian to meet his mother. When he came back, Sun Quan personally came to congratulate him, personally went to court to visit his mother, and all his ministers came, and later the prince also came to celebrate. Gu Yong is a man who doesn't drink, is taciturn and behaves appropriately. Sun Quan once lamented: "Gu Jun doesn't speak, just speak, that's right." During the banquet, people around him were worried that Gu Yong found something wrong after drinking, so he dared not indulge himself. Sun Quan also said: "Gu Gong's presence makes people unhappy." Gu Yong is so daunting. This year, he was appointed Taichang, and was promoted to Liling Hou, replacing Sun Shao as prime minister and in charge of minister affairs. Gu Yong's selection and appointment of civil and military officials are all able to go up and down, and there is no prejudice about distance and closeness in his heart. If it is adopted, the credit will go to the Lord. If it is not adopted, it will not be leaked in the end. Sun Quan therefore attached great importance to him. Although Gu Yong was tactful in his words and expression when he stated things in court, he insisted on the truth of justice. Sun Quan once asked about political gains and losses, and Ambassador Zhang Zhao stated what he heard. Everyone who sees it thinks that the laws and regulations are too harsh and the punishment is a bit heavy, so it should be deleted. Sun Quan said nothing, looked at Gu Yong and asked, "What do you think?" Gu Yong replied: "What I heard was just like what Zhang Zhao said." So Sun Quan asked everyone to discuss prison administration to reduce the punishment.
After a long time, Coco and Qin Bo were appointed as Zhongshu, in charge of the documents of governments at all levels and counties. As a result, Coco and others gradually took advantage of their power to treat people well, and made laws that the government monopolized alcohol, minerals, mountains and rivers and Shui Ze to prosecute criminals. Don't be ignorant of finding money, even if it is a small matter. According to the report of the fake museum, we made an in-depth investigation, slandered and attacked the minister, excluded and framed the innocent, and Gu Yong and others were reported and condemned. Later, Lu Yi's crimes were exposed and he was arrested by Ting Wei. Gu Yong went to finalize the case, and Coco regarded him as a prisoner. Gu Yong was kind and asked him about the case. When he left, he said to Lu Yi, "Do you have anything to say?" Coco kowtow speechless. At that time, Shang just insulted him face to face. Gu Yong only blamed Huai: "The court has righteous laws, so why?"
Gu Yong was prime minister for nineteen years and Chiwu for six years. He died at the age of 76. When Gu Yonggang was ill, Sun Quan ordered Annabel, a doctor, to visit him, and awarded the title of riding captain to his son Jigu. When Gu Yong heard this, he said sadly, "Annabel is very good at telling the difference between life and death of a patient, and I will never be better. Therefore, the emperor wants me to live to see Ji Gu being sealed. " Sun Quan came to mourn for Gu Yong in white mourning, and posthumous title was Su Hou. The eldest son, Gu Shao, died in his early years, while the second son, Gu Yu, was seriously ill. The youngest son, Jigu, inherited the title and had no descendants. No one inherits this title. More than ten years after his death (258 years), Sun Xiu, Emperor Jingdi, wrote a letter "Therefore, the Prime Minister is harmonious, loyal and virtuous, and assists the state with courtesy", and named the second son Gu Di as Liling Gong. At the end of Wu, Lu Kai said: "The Han Dynasty was assisted by Xiao (He) and Cao (Can), and the first emperor was concerned about the current situation." By comparing with Xiao He and Cao Can in Han Dynasty, we can see the influence of ancient virtue in the history of Wu Dong. "
Outsiders' comments: Gu Yonggui is modest and cultivated for the country, but he is lighter than Jue Lu. He is honest and selfless, and he is a standard loyal and good minister.
