Why did ancient heroes often come to no good end?

Guo Ziyi, a general in the Tang Dynasty, was regarded as a model among ancient heroes and created the miracle of ancient heroes. Guo Ziyi's life experience is regarded as a miracle, because throughout history, the fate of ancient heroes is often extremely bad, so his experience will be amazing. The relationship between hero and emperor is a long-standing problem that ancient emperors must face. Few heroes in history have made great contributions to the country. On the contrary, almost countless people have made great achievements, but they have come to a tragic end.

Why do ancient heroes often end up miserable? The usual view is that the hero is armed to the teeth, and his strength and prestige aroused the suspicion of the emperor. In fact, this is just one of the appearances. There are deeper reasons why heroes are difficult. Yu, a famous anti-gold star in the Southern Song Dynasty, once told a joke, which explained the bitterness of the protagonist's bleak fate from a new angle. Yu was an important official in the Southern Song Dynasty. He served as the ambassador of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the ambassador of Sichuan, the prime minister and the ambassador of the Tang Dynasty, and made great contributions to the Song-Jin War.

Be brave and resourceful. In the predicament that the Southern Song Dynasty was repeatedly defeated by the Jin State at that time, he turned the tide and frustrated the attempt of Jin Bing to go south many times. He is considered to be one of the famous generals who resisted gold in the mid-Southern Song Dynasty. In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing, Zhu Jin Yan Hongliang led an army south in an attempt to completely eliminate the Southern Song Dynasty, realize his long-cherished wish and satisfy his ambition to unify the whole country and become the master of the Central Plains.

Facing the sudden attack of nomads from the army, he was anxious and sent minister Ye to the front. Ye is a layman in the military. At that time, he was his chief of staff and served as a military staff officer. He was ordered to patrol the enemy's situation at the front line of Caishiji, the most critical situation, to reward the three armed forces and boost morale.

At that time, due to the weakness of Jin Qiang and Song Dynasty, Song Jun soldiers feared the enemy like tigers. "My teacher dispersed in three or five weeks, took off his saddle and tied his armor, and sat by the roadside." I was going to escape, but I was in a state of collapse before the war. Yu immediately called a meeting of the generals, encouraged the fighting spirit with the way of loyalty and righteousness, and sternly warned the soldiers: "Gold and silk, the imperial edict fuck my hand, if you enter, you will be rewarded, and if you retreat, you will be guilty!" Song Jun soldier's steady state. Although I was a civil servant, I was brave and resourceful. He calmly deployed troops and arranged the dispatch in an orderly manner. Under his command, Song Jun defeated the nomads from the army and won an unprecedented victory in the battle of quarrying. The situation in the Southern Song Dynasty was saved.

According to Southeast Moon Hee, the Nomads just retreated from Quarry Collection, but they were not willing to fail. Soon after, news came from the front line that 8 Jin Jun and 8 Jin Bing were preparing their horses again and crossing the river from Guazhou. Ye, who is in charge of all the troops in Jianghuai, quickly called a meeting of civil and military officials to discuss who should resist the nomads from the army. They are all afraid of nomads from the army and know that the situation is very dangerous. As a result, no one wanted to go, and everyone unanimously kicked the ball to Yu. Tell the donkey to go down the slope and be ordered to fight again. Yu Yunwen was very unhappy. But he accepted his life generously.

At the farewell party before leaving, Yu told a joke: "You might as well go somewhere, but remember a joke." . Yu said that a man keeps a turtle and wants to eat it, but he doesn't want to lose his reputation for killing. So he burned a pot of boiling hot water, then put a few thin bamboo branches at the mouth of the pot and said to the tortoise, "If you can cross this place, you can survive." Climb over and let you go. The tortoise knew that his master was going to kill him, so he tried his best to survive. He was afraid of all kinds of difficulties before climbing over. Unexpectedly, his master said, "It's very nice of you to cross this place. I spent more time and I want to see it. " It's too dangerous. You can climb over it. It's amazing. Very good. Please climb up again and let me have a look.

Finally, Yu said, "Is this your trip?" Is my experience very similar to this turtle? Yu has just returned from the extremely dangerous battle of quarrying, and has made great contributions, but he has caused "trouble" and was immediately put in another danger. Although everyone laughed in their seats after listening, they all felt extremely embarrassed. It seems to be a joke, but in fact his smile is full of tears and bitterness. He told a vulgar and ugly "rule" of the ancient court: anyone who can work more can do it. It is this "rule" that makes many heroes suffer greatly.

The reason why ancient heroes became heroes is that they have two characteristics, one is superior ability, and the other is the courage to do things without shirking. As a result, according to the unspoken rule that "people who can do more work can do the same", whenever there is a crisis, heroes will be pushed to the forefront again and again. If you are rewarded for meritorious service, you will attract others' jealousy. If it fails, it will be even worse. You will immediately get a handle and be surrounded. Under this "rule", the more heroes do, the heavier their responsibilities, the more troubles they cause, the more people they offend, the more dangerous their situation and the greater the risk of tragedy. And those mediocrities and treacherous court officials can stand by and watch whenever major events retreat. If they don't work, they naturally don't make mistakes and don't have to make trouble. On the contrary, they can enjoy wealth and die peacefully.

The famous soldier Yu used this joke to tell the sadness and bitterness of ancient heroes. However, since ancient times, loyal ministers have never considered personal safety, honor or disgrace. Even though they know that the future is difficult and unpredictable, they will risk their lives to build a country. Even if they are killed, their loyalty and courage are enough to reflect the world. Yu is such a person. At the time of national disaster, he put aside vulgar wisdom to protect himself and share his worries for the country. He is a real gentleman.
