In 383 AD, a famous war was staged on the historical stage of China. In this war, 80,000 soldiers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated 200,000 troops in the former Qin Dynasty in one fell swoop, which not only saved the country from danger, but also left a historical story of "there are trees and grass on Bagong Mountain". This is a battle at the water's edge. The commander-in-chief who planned and won this victory was Xie An, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Speaking of Xie An, I have to say that it is a prominent family in the past 300 years-Chen Jun Xie. Xie's family can be traced back to Xie's grandfather Xie Heng, a great scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then to Xie's ninth grandson Xie Zhen. As the last descendant of Xie in Historical Records, four years after his death, the decadent Chen Dynasty finally came to an end in the singing of "Flowers in the Garden of Yushu". Three hundred years later, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this family was endowed with some luxury sadness, which was recalled and lamented by people. Wuyi Xiang has become a sunset weed, turning into the past of the past.

Xie An is undoubtedly the most brilliant of the 300 years of glory. Such a life course marks that a family has finally climbed to the top irresistibly, releasing the glory of the present era. This kind of power conforms to the fate of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which indicates that a dynasty lasted for half a century, so it propped up a safe and stable world and was remembered by future generations. At the same time, it also marks the end of the unique system in history, and marks that the term "noble" will never really appear in our history ...

Have no intention of seclusion in Dongshan

Xie An (AD 320-385), whose name is Anshi, was born in Chenjun (now Taikang, Henan). The Xie family in Chenjun was a famous aristocratic family who moved eastward during the Yongjia Rebellion. Xie Kun, Xie An's uncle, joined the army in the prime minister's house of Sima Yue, king of the East China Sea, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. After crossing the river, he died in the position of magistrate in Zhang Yu, and he was also a member of "extending in all directions". At the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An's father Xie Mao was the highest official. Thanks to the achievements of Kun and You brothers, Xie's status has been rising, but it is Xie 'an who really created the family glory.

Although Xie An ranks third among the brothers, he is more famous than all his brothers. He has been very clever since he was a child. When I was 4 years old, I was taken a fancy to by the then Shangshu Burelang (Huan Wen's father), which attracted Huan Gong's great admiration: "This child is handsome and will definitely look like Wang Cheng, a famous minister in the Jin Dynasty!" A little older, Xie An became more intelligent and sensitive, with extraordinary spirit. Even Wang Dao, a famous figure known as "King and Horse, * * * the world", knew him, so that the school children at that time even followed him to read phonology, which became a fashion.

After crossing the river, Xie lived in Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). The beauty of Huiji has always been a fertile ground for celebrities to live happily. The Dongshan Mountain here is famous because Xie An lived here in seclusion when he was young. When Xie An was young, he didn't want to have a career. Every day, in addition to talking about literature, poetry and Hyunri with celebrities such as Zhi Daolin, Wang Xizhi, Xu Xun, Sun Chuo and Li Chong, he often enjoys the scenery with them to entertain himself. Wang Xizhi's famous preface to the Lanting Pavilion was written on March 3, the ninth year of Yonghe (AD 353), and Wang Xizhi met this group of friends in the preface to the Lanting Pavilion. Xie An also writes poems and essays to express his elegance.

During Xie An's wandering in Dongshan, another thing happened: once, he and Sun Chuo agreed to row a boat at sea, but a storm happened later. At that time, the waves were rough and the dark clouds rolled over, and the companions were frightened and wanted to return immediately. Xie An is the only one who swims happily and sings poems casually. The old man rowing saw that he looked relaxed and happy, so he continued to row away. Until the storm was very strong, the boat turned like a leaf in the stormy waves, and everyone else stood up and shouted in horror, but Xie An said calmly, "If everything is in such a mess, we can't go back." Everyone calm down and the ship can return safely. That is, from this incident, everyone realized that his heart and courage were enough to stabilize the ruling and opposition parties.

Xie An, a young man, was really famous as a celebrity at that time. Just as he was wandering around Huiji Mountain, he also received many letters of recommendation, asking him to be an official. For the first time, when he was only a weak champion, Yu Bing, the secretariat of Yangzhou, heard of his fame and urged him to be his subordinate several times. As a last resort, Xie An had to bid farewell to his beloved homeland and go to call. But just over a month later, he went home. Another time was seven years later, when General Huan Wen conquered Shu Han, he also noticed Xie An's reputation, so he reported it to the court and asked Xie An to be his Sima. Xie An this time more simply, because things are difficult, politely refused Huan Wen's kindness.

At that time, many Xie Jia, Xie An's younger brother Xie Shang, had become senior officials. There is always traffic in front of Xie's house. Once, Xie An's wife, Liu, pointed to those rich brothers and quietly joked with him: "Shouldn't a gentleman do this?" Hearing this, Xie An covered his nose with his hand and said, "I'm afraid I can't help it."

Although he knew that he was destined to be an official for the rise of his family, he repeatedly refused to be recruited by the court. At that time, someone said with emotion: "An Shi refused to come out, what can the people of the world do?" However, some people think that they don't respect the court and impeach him several times in a row, asking the court to imprison him and restrict his freedom of activity. In the face of various external reactions, Xie An remained as steady as Mount Tai, as light as water, and did not care until his younger brother Xie Wan had an accident.

Xie Wan is the commander-in-chief of the western region, supervising the military affairs of Qinghai, Henan and Hebei, but he is arrogant and does not know how to treat the Ministry. Although Xie An persuaded him many times, he still refused to listen, and was finally defeated and deposed in a battle. After Xie Wan was deposed, Xie An decided to enter the official career in order to maintain his family status. At first, he served as the general manager of the Western Expedition in Huan Wen, and later served as the magistrate, assistant and official minister of Xing Wu, protecting the army until the Prime Minister. In just a few years, Xie An has changed from a scribe to the name of more than ten thousand people under one person. It can be described as a brilliant career and a pleasant journey.

Turn the tide and save the crisis

In 3 17 AD, Wang Dao, a noble family, and his brothers assisted the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, which started the inheritance of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Jiangdong, and Wang Langya became the largest family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the death of Wang Dao, in addition to the influence of Yu, Huan Wen was good at government, and the Huan family also rose accordingly. Xie An took office on the eve of Huan Wen's administration. Huan Wen was still not satisfied after he came to power. He made many expeditions to the north, trying to prepare for the throne. He once caressed the pillow and said, "If a gentleman can't be immortal, he should be immortal." In the sixth year of Taihe (AD 37 1 year), Huan Wen abolished Emperor Sima Yi and established Sima Yi in Jian Wendi, which brought the unstable political situation into crisis again. Life in Jian Wendi is particularly difficult because tigers in Huan Wen are waiting by. He is prone to anxiety and fear, and finally he can't get sick. On his deathbed, he was still in awe of Huan Wen's arrogance, and even said in his will: "If your son can help, please help; If he doesn't deserve it, you can keep it for yourself. " This is tantamount to giving Huan Wen an excuse to usurp the throne. At this critical juncture, Wang He and Xie Anli remonstrated to rewrite the testamentary edict, and asked Huan Wen to follow Zhuge Liang and Wang Dao's example to assist the court and make Sima Yao the Crown Prince. When Huan Wen was a soldier in Dangtu, Anhui Province, he was very angry when he heard that Jian Wendi did not give him the meditation position as he expected. Xie An and others took advantage of his absence from Kyoto and immediately made the prince emperor. Huan Wen was flustered, so in February of the first year (AD 373), he returned to Beijing with a great army and combatively challenged Xie An and Wang, hoping to take the opportunity to destroy the capital and change the dynasty. Seeing the imperial court up and down, people were frightened. Sima Yao, the new emperor, wrote to Xie An, the official department minister, and met Huan Wen at the new pavilion. Wang was very scared when he heard that Huan Wen was coming to kill him and Xie An. He let Xie An make up his mind, and Xie An told him calmly and solemnly: "The peril of the Jin Dynasty depends entirely on our trip."

In February, the capital was chilly in spring, and the arrival of Huan Wen added a chill here. Civil and military officials bowed down on both sides of the road, even without the courage to look up at the majestic Huan Wen, including those court officials with status and prestige. Wang, who came with Xie An, was already in a panic and sweaty, and even nervously took down the handwritten version. In this fearful group of people, only two people don't change their natural appearance, one is constant temperature, and the other is comfortable Xie An. They have competed with each other more than once. In the cold wind, Xie An walked up the steps and sat down at the table. He didn't look at Huan Wen's guards, who were surrounded like iron drums. Instead, he wrote a poem "Ode to Luo Sheng", chanting the mighty torrent, and then said calmly: "I heard that the princes had a way, so I ordered the guards to defend against the invasion of neighboring countries from all directions. When Gong Ming enters the DPRK to meet with the minister, there is no need to arrange people behind the wall. " Veteran Huan Wen didn't expect Xie An, who used to be Sima in his own home, to remain open-minded and self-sustaining at this juncture. He was frightened at once and quickly apologized and said, "I had to do this!" After the arrogance was beaten down, he quickly ordered the withdrawal of soldiers, and the tension hanging over everyone's head was immediately eliminated. In the following time, he held a banquet with wine and "laughed away" with Xie An. In this laughter,

The court finally passed a false alarm.

After the new pavilion storm, with the loyal assistance of Xie An and Wang, the situation gradually stabilized. However, ambitious Huan Wen still refused to give up his dream of being an emperor. Soon, he returned to menstruation's home to recuperate and suggested that the court sentence him to "Nine Tin". "Nine Tin" is the last step before the usurper usurps the throne. He was very ill and longed for it. He wants to be emperor for at least a few days. He asked Justin to draft the imperial edict granted to Jiu Xi according to his intention. Justin showed the imperial edict to Xie An, who only said "bad" and began to revise it. In this way, a * * * has been revised several times and dragged on for dozens of days, but it has not been finalized. Until Huan Wen died in July. At this point, a crisis faced by Sima's court finally passed.

The politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a typical aristocratic politics with complicated contradictions. However, if Huan Wen does not seek to usurp the throne, the gentry forces of all walks of life can still maintain a relative balance, and the political situation will therefore be in a relatively stable state. However, in order to realize his ambition, Huan Wen inevitably broke this balance and caused chaos. While most people were forced to yield to evil forces by Huan Wen's arrogance, Xie An, as a senior official of the official department, was able to stick to his post and carry out a leisurely and indomitable struggle with Huan Wen with his wisdom. In fact, as early as Jian Wendi's reign, Huan Wen saw Xie An's "power": once, Xie An saw Huan Wen crowding round on the road and bowed his head. Huan Wen was greatly surprised and asked him, "Anshi, why did you do this?" Ten Ann calmly replied, "There has never been a rule that a king comes first and a minister comes last." In this way, he quietly mocked Huan Wen who tried to be a "monarch". On another occasion, when Huan Wen's cunning and insidious subordinate Chi Chao hid behind the curtain as usual to eavesdrop on the conversation between Xie An and Huan Wen, so as to better advise his master, unfortunately the curtain was blown open by the wind, and he suddenly "showed his true colors". Xie An was not surprised, but humorously quipped: "Mr. Xi is really a guest in the curtain!" Chi Chao blushed and couldn't speak, and Huan Wen was embarrassed. "The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the sincerity." In the communication with the powerful minister Huan Wen, Xie An showed superhuman courage and tolerance, and became the pillar of stability and the backbone of ministers.

A peaceful and tranquil town with a long-term strategy.

In the first year of Taiyuan (AD 376), Sima Yao, the filial piety emperor, took power and appointed Xie An as the secretariat to record the affairs of ministers. In the second year, he was appointed to assist Yang, Yu, Xu, Yan and Qing in military affairs. Xie An was in charge of the military and political power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although the crisis of usurping power by foreign names has passed, the Eastern Jin regime is still facing serious internal and external troubles. The contradiction between the royal family and aristocratic families, and the contradiction between aristocratic families have never disappeared; Externally, it was threatened by the former Qin dynasty, which was increasingly powerful and unified the north. It's really a wave of unrest.

In this situation, Xie An actively pursued Wang Dao's policy of easing the contradiction between the gentry and stabilizing the political situation, and at the same time pursued the policy of "making the town peaceful, planning long-term, taking a broad view" to unite dissidents and safeguard the position of Jinshi. To this end, he paid great attention to the relationship with Huan's family. After Huan Wen's death, Xie An not only failed to suppress Huan's family, but let Huan Wen's younger brother Huan Chong take over his elder brother's power. Let another brother Huan Huo be the secretariat of Jingzhou, in charge of the military in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. After Huan Huo's death, he asked Huan Chong to move from the Yangtze River to Jingzhou. In 379 AD, after Xiangyang was captured by Fu Jian, the former Qin Dynasty, Huan Chong resigned because of his poor defense. Xie An didn't punish him, but let him continue to lead the troops to guard the middle reaches. He let bygones be bygones, and his generosity deeply influenced the Huan brothers. When Huan Wen's henchmen once encouraged Huan Chong to wait for an opportunity to kill Xie An, but his arbitrariness failed to be adopted, Huan Chong thought that his virtue was not as good as Xie An's, but he was loyal to An Shi's orders and worked for the court. Xie An's generosity to Huan family played a positive role in uniting other gentry and maintaining Jinshi.

As a prime minister, Xie An not only balanced the gentry's power and resolved group conflicts, but also paid special attention to selecting talents and carrying out system reform. Among the outstanding talents he selected, there are literary talents and military commanders, the most representative of which are Xie Xuan, Huan Yi, Xu Miao and Fan Ning. He employs people on their merits and does not avoid relatives and friends. When the imperial court sent a letter to look for a good soldier who could defend the North against the former Qin Dynasty, Xie An thought that his nephew Xie Xuan was "a little talented in the country" and was enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility, so he was chosen. Chi Chao, the middle book lang, is treacherous and has a bad relationship with Xie's family on weekdays, but when he heard that Xie An recommended Xie Xuan, he couldn't help but sigh: "Xie An is really sensible to violate her public relations and in-laws; Xie Xuan has real talent and practical learning, and will certainly not live up to his recommendation. " Later, Xie Xuan did succeed frequently on the battlefield, and became an important hero in the Battle of Feishui. His success can't be separated from his uncle Xie An's consistent way of cultivating talents, tutoring him and entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.

Since ancient times, war seems to have brought only suffering to the people. However, in order to prepare for the pre-Qin period, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, under the auspices of Prime Minister Xie An, took a series of measures to reduce the burden on the people and carried out institutional reforms at the same time. After he took office, every time there was a flood or drought, the court would definitely reduce the rent, or rent cloth for one year or six months; Or give the poor five hectares of rice or forgive the debt of rent and accommodation. In the fourth year of Taiyuan (A.D. 379), it was ordered that the royal government should be thrifty, the salary of officials should be halved, and all non-military affairs and expenses should be stopped. The two most important reforms were carried out in the first year of Taiyuan (AD 376) and the sixth year of Taiyuan (38 1 year). For the first time, the "land rent collection system" was lifted: below the vassal, everyone paid a tax of three meters to relieve labor; Change the system for the second time, reduce the trouble fee and lay off 700 officials. These two reforms were welcomed by the people at that time and praised by later generations. Wang Fuzhi believes that this is "a good technique for balancing the rich and the poor, and the people are satisfied with it for a long time." Through the reform, not only the burden of the people has been reduced, but also the material and financial resources of the country have been concentrated, which is conducive to preparing for the enemy.

In order to resist the attack of the former Qin Dynasty, Xie An also made active military preparations. He sent Xie Xuan to guard Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), and selected elite soldiers from the gentry and people who moved south to form a "northern government soldier" with Liu Laozhi and others as generals. Enter and attack, retreat and defend, and hold the gate of Shi Jing on the north bank of the Yangtze River. In addition, overseas Chinese counties and overseas Chinese states have been established, which are usually used to farm and fill military rations, and practice martial arts in their leisure time, forming a military reserve force. Some of these people are guarding Zhuangzhai and some are guarding the capital, ready to resist the enemy south of the Yangtze River. In addition, Huan Chong was stationed in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to prevent the former Qin from going south from the central line. This formed the trend of Jingshi, Guangling and Xiakou, and Xie An himself sat in the capital and remotely controlled the overall situation. It is precisely because of his careful arrangements in advance that he can be fearless and calm when the war breaks out and the situation is critical. It is in this way that he perfectly combined his personality charm with the temperament of Confucian generals.

Thanks to Xie An's correct decision-making and careful management, an unprecedented stable situation appeared in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Even the people of insight in the former Qin Dynasty had to admit that although the Eastern Jin Dynasty declined, it never lost its virtue, and the monarch and ministers were harmonious and United. Xie An and Huan Chong are great talents in the south of the Yangtze River and capable people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Strategic planning wins a thousand miles.

After decades of expeditions to the East and the West, Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty captured Xiangyang and Pengcheng (now Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province) in 379 AD, and its ruling area was "the sea in the east, Qiuci in the west, Xiangyang in the south and desert in the north". He is determined to destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty and unify the whole country with his million-strong army. He is very optimistic about the future and turns a deaf ear to the opposition of princes and etiquette.

In August 383 AD, a million-strong army of the former Qin Dynasty attacked Jin on a large scale, and the battle for water was started.

Fu Jian your brother rode 250,000 forward, pointing to Huainan; Take A Qiang Yao Chang as general Long Xiang, supervise military affairs, and go down the river; He himself has more than 600,000 infantry and 270,000 cavalry in Chang 'an, stretching back and forth for thousands of miles, facing each other and heading south. Fu Jian thinks this will win. After the unification of Liuhe, he planned to let Sima Yao, the filial piety emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, be the servant of his ministers, Xie An as the official department minister, and Huan Chong as the attendant, and began to build a mansion for them in Chang 'an.

When the Eastern Jin Dynasty heard the news, the whole country was shocked. Xie An suggested that Emperor Xiao Wudi ordered his younger brother Xie Shi to be transferred from the princes to the viceroy, with Xie Xuan as the forward viceroy and Xie Yan (son of Xie An) as the assistant general, leading an army of 80,000, and immediately heading north to defend the enemy. Its main force is the northern government soldiers in Xie Xuan. When he was about to leave, Xie Xuan asked his uncle for a military plane, but Xie An said easily as usual: "I'll give the order again, and you go first." Then it was quiet. Xie Xuan was afraid to ask more questions, but he was really nervous. After resigning, he asked Zhang Xuan for instructions. Instead of answering, Xie An told them to go down and prepare horses and chariots, and invited some friends to play chess with him at the villa. On weekdays, Xie Xuan is always better at chess than his uncle, but this time he is worried about fighting and can't win. After the game, Xie An went hiking again, just like going back to Huiji Dongshan, and didn't go back to the house until nightfall.

Huan Chong, who was stationed in Jingzhou, was also worried about the safety of the imperial court. He specially sent 3000 elite troops to support the capital. Unexpectedly, this unit was sent back by Xie An. He sent a letter to Huan Chong saying, "The imperial court has made proper arrangements, and there is no shortage of weapons and troops. The middle reaches of the Yangtze River are strategically important, and the troops sent should go back and strengthen their preparedness. " After reading the letter, Huan Chong shook his head and sighed at his staff: "Xie An certainly has the measure of the Prime Minister, but he is not familiar with military affairs. Now that the enemy is in sight, he still goes to travel and only sends some inexperienced children to resist the enemy; Moreover, the enemy is fierce and our strength is insufficient. The overall situation of the world can be imagined. We are going to be foreign subjects. " In fact, once safety is in mind, why not worry about Xie An? However, he can't expose his inner worries like others. He is the prime minister of a country and the backbone of everyone. If he loses his mind, the situation will become uncontrollable. He can only adopt the method of tightening inside and loosening outside, while calming people's hearts and calmly coping with the war situation. After everyone's nervousness calmed down, he instructed all generals to make careful arrangements for the whole strategy.

In October, Fu Rong, a pioneer of the former Qin Dynasty, captured Shouyang (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province) and surrounded Hu Bin, who was sent for reinforcements, in Shi Xia. Hu Bin was running out of food and grass, so he had to secretly send someone to Xie Shi with a letter for help. Unexpectedly, the emissary was captured by Qin Jun on the way, and Fu Rong immediately sent someone to report to Fu Jian: "The Jin army is short of food and grass, and its troops are insufficient. We should seize this great opportunity and launch an attack immediately. " Fu Jian was overjoyed and immediately led 8,000 Qingqi people to Shouyang and Fu Jian in an attempt to annihilate the Eastern Jin army led by them. However, when he was happy, he made a big mistake: he chose Zhu Xu, the captured general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to surrender to Xie Shi. When Zhu Xu arrived in Jinying, he gave a superficial warning and suggested that Xie Shi defected as soon as possible. However, he secretly reminded: "Before Qin's million-strong army is assembled, attack quickly. Defeating their pioneers is bound to dampen their morale and make us go all out to win. "

The Eastern Jin generals accepted Zhu Xu's suggestion. In November, Xie Xuan sent Liu Laozhi with 5,000 soldiers to Luo Jian (southwest of Huaiding County, Anhui Province, now Luoshui enters the Huaihe River) to attack Qin Jun general Liang Cheng. Liu Laozhi stepped forward, forcibly crossed the river, breached Qin Jun and beheaded Liang Cheng. Qin Jun had to flee to the Huaihe River, while Xie Shi and Xie Xuan commanded 8 jin j to advance, which matched Shouyang. In the cold wind in late autumn, Fu Jian and his younger brother climbed the Shouyang Tower. From a distance, they saw that the troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were well-organized and large in scale. Turning to Bagong Mountain, I saw grass shaking, thinking that they were all soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After many battles, Fu Jian, whose whip was cut off, felt extremely afraid and disappointed. If he lost something, he said to Rong Rong, "This is also a powerful enemy. Who says they are weak! " There is a timid expression on his face.

In this way, the Eastern Jin army confronted the former Qin Jun at a distance. Although the pioneer suffered new failures, its strength is still several times that of the Jin Army, and the main force is coming continuously. For 8 jin j, the situation is still very serious. After careful planning, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty came up with a brilliant plan. Xie Xuan sent messengers to tell Fu Rong, "You went deep alone, but you camped on the bank of the Fei River. Although this may make us look at each other, it is not conducive to a quick decision. Wouldn't it be a better strategy if you stepped back and left a clearing on the shore for us to cross the water to fight with you? " Fu Jian also has his own ideas. He thinks it is no problem to agree to his opponent's request. On the way across the river, Jin Jun can launch a fighter plane to kill him and catch him off guard. So he ordered a retreat. Unexpectedly, just after retreating, his steps were unsteady. Zhu Xu was tricked and shouted, "Qin Jun has lost! Qin Jun lost! " Most of the soldiers in the former Qin Dynasty were captured by various ethnic groups and had no intention of fighting the Eastern Jin Dynasty. They are exhausted and exhausted, and at this time they are in a mess. The Eastern Jin army took the opportunity to attack on a large scale, killing Fu Rong, the former Qin striker coach, in the disorderly army, and Fu Jian was also shot to death with disorderly arrows. Qin Jun is on the run, running for his life, trampling on each other, killing and injuring people everywhere. When many soldiers heard the jittery news, they all thought that the pursuers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had arrived, and they were even more desperate and rushed around day and night. After Fu Jian returned to Luoyang under his escort, the Battle of Feishui ended Qin's previous fiasco.

Xie An was playing chess with the guests in the mansion when the good news of the Battle of Feishui reached Beijing. He took the good news and looked at it, then put it aside and continued to play chess as if he didn't see anything. He was in no hurry, but the guest couldn't help asking for a long time, "How is the war ahead?" "The children defeated the enemy." He is still calm and serene. This is his thought. However, after seeing Fujian off after playing chess, Xie An could no longer restrain his excitement. When he returned to his back room, he forgot to step on the threshold and broke the wooden teeth at the bottom of his slippers.

Romantic prime ministers have a long history.

The victory of the Battle of Feishui made the Eastern Jin Dynasty experience another national subjugation crisis, and the political status of the Xie family reached its peak. In order to reward the meritorious military service, the imperial court named Xie An as a Pacific Insurance, and summoned the governors of fifteen states for military service. Xie Xuan was appointed as the secretariat of Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, but Xie An thought that the position of father and son was too high, and the loss of Huan's position would attract resentment, so he suggested that Huan, Huan Shiqian, Huan Yi and others should be appointed as the secretariat of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and the result was "no resentment or enmity". Anyway, Xie An's demeanor has been admired by the world, and stories about him abound.

Maybe someone will ask, Xie An is in the imperial court, why is he the only one who can stand up when the situation is critical and the DPRK is shocked? As the saying goes, "Rome was not built in a day"; Sun Tzu's Art of War said, "He who knows people is in an invincible position." . Few people know that as early as Dongshan lived in seclusion, Xie An knew that he was inevitably going to be an official, so he had to make some preparations for his career. When Xie Wan was a satrap, he took his younger brother to Beijing. Xie Wan often sleeps late. Every morning, he goes to buckle the screen window of Xie Wan to wake him up. Xie Wan made a secretariat of Yuzhou, and he also stayed in Yuzhou; Xie Wan traveled to the north, and he often corrected his brother's mistakes in all aspects. He once personally visited various ministries and commissions under Xie Wan, thanking them for thanking Wanxiang and eliminating their resistance to Xie Wan. All these indicate that he is stepping into politics with a positive attitude. At first, he didn't want to go out of the mountain. Someone predicted: "Since Anshi can share happiness with others, he will certainly share his troubles with others and will come back after being called up." It seems that this person really knows Anshi's ambition. On the military side, he has also studied the art of war for many years, and has mastered a lot of information about politics, military affairs and characters' psychology in the pre-Qin period, including virtue, ignorance, loyalty and treachery, which can be described as "knowing yourself and knowing yourself". When Qin Jun's dark clouds pounced on the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie 'an's practice fully proved Sun Tzu's famous saying: "I will work without courage, but I will be skilled with few soldiers."

However, the weather is unpredictable. The fireworks of the Battle of Feishui have not completely dispersed, but Xie An was framed by some unscrupulous and mercenary people because of his great fame. They vilified the emperor in the filial piety of the Jin Dynasty, and made the wine and meat emperor who wanted to restore the imperial power as an adult suspect the prime minister Xie An. He attached great importance to his half-brother Sima Daozi, King Hui Ji, and made the regime fall into the hands of this fatuous monarch. Sima Daozi is surrounded by a villain who has a subtle relationship with Xie An-Xie An's son-in-law and Wang's son. Because of ignorance and bad conduct, this guy has never been liked by Lao Zhang, let alone cultivated and reused. He has always held a grudge against Xie An, and often tried to sow discord in front of Sima Daozi and the emperor. Emperor Wu's filial piety alienated Xie An, and he had "credit". In order to avoid suspicion, Xie An was forced to leave the capital, and his family moved to the vicinity of Guangling, where he built a humble mansion called "New Town". Although his body was damaged, he still didn't lose his ambition to build Dongshan. He is going to resign and return to his promised land from the sea when the court is a little more stable. Unfortunately, he got sick before his wish came true. Xie Anxian made careful arrangements for Guangling's defense, and then asked the court to allow him to return to Beijing for medical treatment.

When Xie An's chariot slowly pulled into the West Gate of Jiankang, Xie An, who was on his deathbed, said sadly to the people around him, "When Huan Wen was here before, I often worried that I couldn't save myself. I suddenly dreamed that I took Huan Wen's car and walked 16 miles before I saw a white chicken stop. Taking his car means that I will take his place; 16 years, which means that I lived in the prime minister in 16 years; The white chicken is the master. Now that I am old, I am afraid that my disease can't be cured! " So he resigned. A few days later, 66-year-old Xie An died in Jiankang, Shi Jing.

As a celebrity in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An was strongly supported by the court and admired by people at that time. When framed, Huan Yi, one of the heroes of "The First Flute in Jiangzuo" and the Battle of Feishui, played the piano at a banquet and complained about poetry, thinking that Ann "trusted the king to help the second uncle dispel rumors" and was unfair to Xie An. When Xie An listens to a song, if he meets a bosom friend, he will "cry and feel bitter". Filial piety emperor thought, oneself also pretty ashamed. After Xie An's death, people from far and near in the imperial court mourned him in different ways. Wang Dao's grandson, the Wang Xun brothers, are both sons-in-law of Xie An, and they have bad blood with Xie An because of divorce disputes. When the news of Xie An's death reached the ears of Wang Martyr in the Far East, he said to him, "I want to cry without tears, thank Gong." So I went straight to Xie Anling and cried. When Xie An lived in Xincheng, he was in the northeast of the city.

A dam was built, and local people used it to catch shrimps. After his death, in memory of him, people named the dam "Zhao Bo Day" to express their admiration and grief.

Among the people who came to mourn Xie An, there was also a fellow villager. This travel-stained man came to Beijing and later told people a story: when he worked in Suzhong County, he lived in economically depressed Lingnan, so he had no choice but to take refuge in Xie 'an with 50,000 local fans of Pukui. Although Xie An was still young at that time, he enjoyed a good reputation and was admired by Beijingers. When he asked his fellow villagers, he chose a middle-class Pukui fan, and he held it in his hand whether he went in or out. As a result, within two days, many people rushed to buy fans from fellow villagers. What was originally unsalable suddenly became a hot commodity, and the price of fans doubled in a very short time. It can be seen that it was a fashion for the world to admire and imitate Xie An's celebrity demeanor at that time. Xie An used his fame to help the villagers, which became a beautiful talk for a while, and people respected Xie An more.

In the palace, there was another argument about Xie An posthumous title. The altruists, led by Sima Daozi, thought that Xie An had occupied all the scenery before his death and should not give other gifts. However, Wang Xianzhi and Xu Miao, assistant ministers of Zhongshu, think that Xie An is a highly respected minister in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and deserves special courtesy. Sima Yao, the emperor of Xiaozong, finally realized that without Xie An, there would be no him and his throne, so he offered Xie An as a teacher and made him the Duke of Luling County. Much transformed, until Emperor Wu of Song came to power, in order to commemorate Xie An's salvation, he also sealed his descendants and asked them to sacrifice Xie An's soul forever.

"In the old society, Wang Xie Yan flew into the homes of ordinary people." During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie Jia's officials, horses, power and wealth all vanished with the smoke of history, but Xie An, as a person who made contributions to history, will be remembered by history forever. Xie An is versatile, good at calligraphy and music, and has a high quality of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. He ruled the country by Confucianism and Taoism; As an aristocratic family, they were able to take the overall situation into consideration and subordinate Xie Jia's interests to those of Jinshi family, which was in sharp contrast with Wang Dun and Huan Wen. He is elegant and gentle, fair and decisive, does not abuse power for personal gain, does not take credit, and has the demeanor of a prime minister and a Confucian general. These are the qualities that Xie An is praised for. Famous thinkers in the Southern Song Dynasty once mentioned Wang Dao and Xie An side by side, pointing out: "Guiding An has been facing each other for decades, and its end is quiet and broad, and praise is complementary. If one person is born, Jiang Zuo's career in the past 100 years will depend on nothing. " On the occasion of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wang Fuzhi also said: "An San slaughtered the world, thinking deeply and doing everything, restoring ancient ways to the present." Is it possible to discuss all the simple skills? "These famous ancient scholars fully affirmed Xie An's achievements from different angles. As an excellent politician and strategist, Xie An is well deserved.
