I still remember the famous sentence of this man, "Take off the king in front of you and make a name for yourself behind you", which is very bold and full of enthusiasm for serving the country.
This man is a great man in the history of literature. Those poems he wrote have been heard by people who have read books, but his lifelong ambition is not to write poems, but to fight for his country. At the age of 2 1, 2,000 people gathered for an uprising. On the way back, he raided 50,000 enemy camps with only 50 people, not only beheaded all the way, but also brought the traitor Zhang Anguo back to the court alive. What makes everyone admire is that the 50 people he took also came back unscathed, which made him famous and made his military talents stand out! Yes, this person is Xin Qiji!
(In addition to poetry, Xin Qiji's heart is more about serving the country. )
Xin Qiji is a rare master. He is a generalist and a pronoun king. His talent is comparable to that of Su Shi in some aspects, such as writing lyrics. But in politics, martial arts, hard work, military and many other aspects, it has surpassed Su Shi's ability. Su Shi is an all-round scholar in the literary world, but he is not good at military affairs, politics and martial arts. In this respect, Xin Qiji is outstanding.

From Xin Qiji's poems, we can also know that he is a rigorous and sharp-minded person, which also leads to his reputation as "cruel and greedy" in history. Of course, this is the name given to him by those officials, but people who like Xin Qiji will naturally not believe or accept this bad reputation. Because this is official, in their eyes, people who do great things in history books can almost all use these words to describe them. In the hearts of real historical figures, Xin Qiji will always be the one who "ended the king's world and won fame before he died". It's in vain. "Before he died, he was still shouting: Kill the thief, Xin Qiji who killed the thief!
Most of Xin Qiji's poems are related to fighting for the country. )
Moreover, you should know that Xin Qiji is not a pure scholar himself, so unlike some scholars who only have scholar spirit, he has the heroism of a military commander. The so-called "greed for coolness" may not be groundless, but from the perspective of ancient battlefields, the heavily armed soldiers are fierce and strict with soldiers, so it is likely that they just go out to dinner with friends in the process of scolding soldiers. Therefore, regarding Xin Qiji's "greed", exaggeration is certain, and it is not impossible to spread rumors. However, no one is perfect, and Xin Qiji certainly has some minor faults, but it is also due to his personality. If he deliberately pretends to be a good person, then he is not suitable for leading troops to fight, so he is not Xin Qiji!
(Xin Qiji once said that he was a teenager)
In addition, personally, as a fan of Xin Qiji, I absolutely don't want to believe the saying "greedy and cool". No matter from the official history or unofficial history, Xin Qiji said that "being greedy for coolness" has always been a controversial topic, but what I want to say is that even if Xin Qiji is 100% greedy for coolness, so what? Can you deny his literary achievements, his military talents and his passion for serving the country? Cao Cao's great failure in Chibi didn't affect his being called "lean" in history, so why did a "greed" always haunt Xin Qiji!
