Anecdotes of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty

1, Dong Fangshuo spoofed Emperor Wu's promotion.

In the early years of Liang Wudi, young Liu Che began to recruit talents on a large scale in order to realize the strategy of enriching Qiang Bing. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wrote an imperial edict so that all talents in the world could write job-hunting reports. At that time, people of insight from all directions gathered to respond, and thousands of people signed up. Among them, there is Dong Fangshuo's resume. In order to cope with this audition, Dong Fangshuo made a sea attack with his well-read talent. It's just right to audition with the sea. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Dong Fangshuo's job search report, Dong Fangshuo boasted to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Dong Fangshuo, who was born in the grass roots, was raised by his elder sister-in-law after his parents died. I started studying at the age of twelve and spent three winters reading all the literature and history books. Then I read 220 thousand words. Then I read poetry books at the age of fifteen and learned fencing at the age of sixteen. Then/kloc-read Sun Tzu's Art of War at the age of 0/9, so he read another 220,000 words. This is about your knowledge first. Then I went on to say my height. He said I'm 9' 3 ",which means I'm in my early two meters. Then I said that my eyes are as bright as pearls and my teeth are as neat and white as shells. That's not enough. He said that I have the courage of Meng Ben, the agility of Qing Ji, the honesty of Bao Shu and the integrity of my life. With my knowledge and looks, I can always be a civil servant.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was attracted by this special letter from Dong Fangshuo when he was reviewing a mountain of letters of recommendation. When he fell into aesthetic fatigue, this letter from Dong Fangshuo gave him a strong visual impact. So I noticed Dong Fangshuo, this special person must use it. In this way, Dong Fangshuo was hired, and the department he was assigned to was called waiting for the bus, but it was just a cold department. He was left hanging. After working for a while, Dong Fangshuo doesn't like it. He thought of a way. There are many dwarfs who keep horses in his department. So this day he told the little dwarfs that the emperor said that you people had no strength to farm, no ability to be an official and no courage to be a soldier, and he would kill you all. The dwarfs cried out in fear. Dong Fangshuo said, look at you, I have a way to help you. So, Dong Fangshuo told them that the emperor will pass through the door here tomorrow, and if you go down on your knees and beg him, you may be all right. The next day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty passed by the door, and the little dwarfs ran over and knelt down to call for help. Emperor Wu was confused, and the dwarfs told him what Dong Fangshuo said. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that there was no such thing and comforted the little dwarf. You used to ask Dong Fangshuo, why did you falsely preach the imperial edict? Dong Fangshuo told me that I am 9 feet 3 inches tall, and my salary is the same as theirs. My hungry heart is stuck on my back. It's not too much to ask you for a raise. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought for a moment. Well, I'll give you a raise. So he was promoted to the imperial court, and in this way, Dong Fangshuo was promoted through this spoof.

2, the meat cutting storm.

The day of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty happened to be an important festival, and ministers gathered in the court to wait for the meat of the festival. It was very hot that day and the butcher came late. Ministers are in a hurry. At this time, Dong Fangshuo emerged from the crowd, went straight to the meat table, picked up a knife and cut hard at the biggest part of the meat. Then take off your clothes, wrap a bag of meat and hold it in your arms. Then I went up to the ministers and said, it's getting late today, so I won't wait for you. Take your time. Say and turn away. Ministers are angry, but they can only be anxious. The next day, the meat officer reported the matter to Emperor Wu, who summoned Dong Fangshuo. Emperor Wu said you cut the meat without authorization, but I'm not that good. You will make a review in front of everyone, and it's nothing after the review. If the review is not profound, you should be prepared to be punished. Then Dong Fangshuo began to examine himself. He said, Dong Fangshuo and Dong Fangshuo, how rude you are to cut the meat without authorization. How clever it is to cut the meat yourself, how honest it is to cut the meat into such small pieces, and how exemplary it is to take the meat home and leave it to your wife. Say that finish, the emperor laughed, laughing bent. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that you were self-critical or self-praising. In this way, Dong Fangshuo amused Liang Wudi in the hall.

3. Visit incognito.

Once, 17-year-old Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took his entourage traveling incognito to visit a place called. In the evening, they stayed in an inn. The shopkeeper saw them young and furtive and thought they were thieves. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was thirsty and wanted to ask for some water to drink. The shopkeeper looked up and said angrily, "I have no water here, only urine!" " "After that, he sneaked out of the store and planned to call people nearby to attack suspicious passengers.

The shopkeeper's wife is a clever woman. She guessed her husband's calculation and quickly followed her, coaxing and saying, "I don't think they are thieves, but the leader looks like a noble son." Never act rashly and accidentally injure a good person. " The shopkeeper hesitated, and his wife took the opportunity to pull him back into the house and persuade him to drink. After a while, the shopkeeper was drunk. So, the hostess killed the chicken and slaughtered the sheep, and put down a banquet to warmly entertain the guests.

Early the next morning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew what had happened. After returning to the palace, he immediately summoned the owner and his wife, first gave the hostess 1200 gold, and then turned his eyes to the man. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became tense, and people thought that the man would be punished. Who knows, instead of mitigating his crimes, Emperor Wudi praised him as a macho man and worshipped him on the spot.

After this incident came out, the prestige of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was even higher.
