Cetaceans who is the legend of the ups and downs of officialdom in the history of Song Dynasty?

In the history of China, there was a man who stepped onto the stage twice, entered the central state organs five times, rose and fell, and was expelled from politics five times. In his life, he was a legend, with more water than a swallow. This man is Song Taizong and Kou Zhun, a famous minister in the period of Zhenzong. Kou Zhun was a famous loyal minister in the official history of all dynasties, and he was indomitable all his life. Even in the lowest valley of his life, he always kept an optimistic attitude and went forward bravely. This optimistic attitude stems from good vision and extraordinary talent, but it is ruined by his unruly personality. Kou Zhun's greatest contribution in the history of China is the single-source alliance, which should be re-evaluated by future generations. The conclusion of this treaty laid the peace and tranquility of the Great Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years and opened up a short-lived prosperity scene for the real clan dynasty.

But Kou Zhun also has a flaw that has been criticized by later generations. For thousands of years, he has been an incredible alien in China officialdom. His personality, his maverick, his lack of talent, even the success of his young people, his willfulness, and his ignorance of the hidden rules of officialdom all seem like a kind of fate. He was an official all his life, but he was extremely immature politically, which doomed his ill-fated life. What interests me about Kou Zhun is that he always sees dark clouds at the lowest point of his political career, but it won't take long for him to make the same mistake every time. Why does Kou Zhun always jump into the same river? In fact, the ups and downs of officials in Kou Zhun are more enlightening to people in today's officialdom.

Let's open a vast history book, trace back Kou Zhun's repeated life, and try to find some tracks and potential answers. Kou Zhun said in his poem: "The 19th Middle School is the highest, and the weak crown is the national seal." In the Song Dynasty, there were very few high school students aged 19. Kou Zhun, a successful young man, was awarded the Badong County Order and later transferred to Cheng 'an County. Kou Zhun has made great achievements in grass-roots training in recent years, which also shows that this young man is really capable. In short, he wins the trust of the people with a clean government, so his official management is clear.

Kou Zhun is an honest and frank person. He is famous in the history books because he is successful and sharp-edged when he is young. Record: "The temple of goods, the language is not harmonious, and the emperor is angry. He must lead the emperor's clothes and let him sit in the back. Things must retreat. " Under the power politics, Kou Zhun doesn't care about the authority of your emperor. He did what he had to do. Even the emperor dared to pull his clothes and never let go. On the one hand, this shows Kou Zhun's stubbornness, on the other hand, it also shows Kou Zhun's arrogance, because this is by no means something that ordinary people can do. Kou Zhun's surprise and behavior are due to the emperor's favor, but this kind of bullying and stubbornness is too immature when getting along with colleagues.

So what are the reasons for Kou Zhun's ups and downs in the central organs all his life? He was first appointed as a leftist doctor and lieutenant in parliament. Because Kou Zhun is spontaneous, there will inevitably be a gap between him and his colleagues. But Kou Zhun didn't pay much attention to the friendly relations with his colleagues, so he was kept in the dark. Historically, Kou Zhun and his superiors knew that Zhang Xun disagreed with the Privy Council. They quarreled with him several times and didn't give their boss face at all. One day, on his way home, Kou Zhun was called "Long live" by a group of lunatics, probably his opponents. Because of the unknown origin of Emperor Taizong's throne, Kou Zhun and Zhang Xun leaked secrets to each other in court. In a rage, the emperor dismissed both of them.

The second time, Kou Zhun was appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister. He has great power. Kou Zhun is as famous as everyone else, so he was allowed to go from prime minister to courtier. But Kou Zhun didn't know how to restrain himself, but he was very autocratic in personnel appointment. It is said that Kou Zhun promotes officials on the principle of meritocracy. However, in the feudal dynasty, there were hidden rules for the promotion of officials, and it was customary to rank them according to their qualifications. Kou Zhun hurt a large number of old officials who queued for promotion, and their political and marital relationships were complicated. Therefore, under the alliance of the ruling group, Kou Zhun was accused of "doing something besides worshipping the special". But Kou Zhun tried everything, and nine cows couldn't hold on. He stood firm in court and defended himself. In this case, even the emperor has no room for manoeuvre. Emperor Taizong was angry with Kou Zhun because he didn't know how smart he was, and he was demoted because he was angry.

Kou Zhun was appointed as the Supreme Prime Minister for the third time. After the alliance, Kou Zhun became famous and its prestige reached an unprecedented peak. Gao Zhen's master, Kou Zhun, didn't realize the coming crisis, but monopolized the power. In the appointment and dismissal of personnel, he still hasn't learned the previous lesson, "like cool and handsome", and has rejected the life motto of southerners, which is probably, oh, let a spiritual person take risks at will. Kou Zhun often invites senior officials to spend the night in his residence. Kou Zhun's political opponents have been looking for possible opportunities to attack him. The most vicious move is that Wang Qinruo, the true minister, said "despair" to Zhenzong, saying that Zhenzong was the last card Kou Zhun used in the Zen Garden. The so-called personal expedition is actually Kou Zhun's lack of love for the monarch. This kind of estrangement makes Xinzong have a great psychological vigilance against Kou Zhun. Later, Kou Zhun's political enemy, Qi Xin Xinhui Army of Qi, finally defeated Kou Zhun.

The fourth time, Kou Zhun was re-appointed as the Privy Council Ambassador, but this time he also served for a short time and was removed from office within one year. The reason why he was fired was Kou Zhun's character. Kou Zhun had ups and downs, but his character never changed. He not only made enemies everywhere, but also paid no attention to political strategy. Even the prime ministers Wang Dan and Kou Zhun who recommended him were ungrateful. He has caused trouble to others many times. In the political arena at that time, Kou Zhun's ability was universally recognized, but the image of Kou Zhun Tatar was not only hated by the bad guys, but also unacceptable to the gentlemen. It seems that even Zhenzong is not sure about Kou Zhun's character. Use him to attract criticism. Don't worry, it's a pity that people are strange. Kou Zhun is narrow-minded and suspicious. He may be the kind of person who hurts people unintentionally, but hurts them deeply and makes people hate them for life. Where did Kou Zhun fall and get up again?

The fifth and last time was when Kou Zhun was re-elected as Prime Minister. This time Kou Zhun is the end of true religion. Central politics began to be chaotic, and the power struggle after the emperor was almost heated. But Kou Zhun still went his own way, thinking about himself. Although Kou Zhun is a politician, he has many shortcomings. Besides, his ignorance of employing people and understanding others is another big weakness. He can't distinguish his allies from his political views. Kou Zhun is an honest and frank person. His eyes can't stand sand. His greatest political enemy in his later period was Song, which he once recommended. Song dynasty was good at double dealing, deceiving the upper and deceiving the lower. In Song Dynasty, Ding Wei and Kou Zhun used soup to brush their beards. Kou Zhun smiled. Is it for the Chief Executive to participate in and discuss state affairs, the minister of the country? A joke made Xiao gnash his teeth at Song, thus laying a curse. Kou Zhun was beaten this time. The most important reason is that he is a princeling. In the struggle with the later * * * production party, Song Gang completely trampled on the ground and was finally exiled to Leizhou. But this time, the political tumbler finally did not turn over and died at the end of the world at the age of 62.

Throughout Kou Zhun's life, he has never been defeated in such a major festival, which is the direct reason why Kou Zhun was praised as a loyal minister in past dynasties. Every time Kou Zhun was overthrown, he returned to the center of power, which was inseparable from the appreciation and esteem of Emperor Taizong and Zhenzong. According to historical records, the true Sect was successfully proclaimed emperor. This is Kou Zhun's outspoken exhortation to Emperor Taizong, so Kou Zhun can always be reused after becoming a real emperor, but Kou Zhun's personality brought him trouble. Even the emperor who has always defended him, Kou Zhun is undoubtedly a temperament middleman. His most suitable role may still be a poet and scholar. However, history has brought him to the peak of power. An indomitable scholar who wants to keep his nature all his life will only bring him a painful failure of the feudal dynasty. Politics is a long-handled pot. If you don't change, you can only accept your fate and want to change according to your own temperament.

Kou Zhun's tragicomedy is a living example. Politically, it is not smooth, pretentious, profound, inorganic, artificial or complicated. In life, one is a person who fully enjoys life. Such a person is very real and natural, but as a politician, it has become his shortcoming and flaw. Feudal officialdom needs neither individuality nor uniqueness, but it is fatal. Since Kou Zhun, such people have never changed their mind. The temperament of true gentleman and false villain has faded out of the historical stage, and all we see are politicians and opportunistic literati. In the political field, there are more and more snobs, but the real scholars are in power and are decreasing. Politicians with real temperament are almost extinct. Even if they show their talents, they can't escape the tragic fate. The ups and downs of the official family in Kou Zhun make people meditate on the collection of books.
