In the 12th year of Jianxing (234), Zhuge Liang died in the army, and Jiang Wan was promoted to the position of official minister, leading Yizhou to be a general, recording official business and presiding over state affairs. At that time, the new coach was lost, and both the ruling and the opposition were very scared. Although Jiang Wan was always in power at first, she was as cool as a cucumber. "There was neither laughter nor laughter, and God kept his manners as usual", so people quickly settled down. In the first year of Yan Xi (238), Jiang Wan led an army in Hanzhong, blessed and increased Sima.
Jiang Wan abides by Zhuge Liang's teachings, is observant and observant, follows the rules, does not like shun, and does not listen to slanders. So ministers are willing to serve. In view of Zhuge Liang's attack on Wei by Qinchuan, it was difficult to win because of the barrier of mountain roads and the inconvenience of transporting grain. Jiang Wan had planned to March eastward to Shang Yong and Weixin (now the border of Hubei and Shaanxi), but it was not implemented because of the recurrence of old diseases. In the ninth year of Emperor (246), he died in Fuxian County, and the history of the Three Kingdoms spread. There is a volume of Postscript of Jiang Gong, which is included in the Lushan Jingshe series. Mourning Notes is a volume, which is included in the History of Sui Shu. Jiang Wan is an upright official, quick and accurate, with simple administration and clear punishment; Be generous, tolerant and peaceful. After his death, posthumous title was called "Gong" because of his gentleness and courtesy, and everyone called him "Duke Jiang".
He was famous when he was young. He used to be a clerk who was good at writing documents in Jingzhou, and then followed Liu Bei to Yizhou as the magistrate of Guangdu County. On one occasion, Liu Bei suddenly came uninvited and visited Guangdu. He found that he ignored political affairs and was drunk and angry, so he should be punished. Zhuge Liang, who came with Liu Bei, knew something about the governance of Guangdu County and Jiang Wan's character and achievements before meeting Jiang Soul, so he asked Liu Bei: "Jiang Wan is a talent for governing the country, not an official in charge of Baili County. According to the understanding of his men, he manages politics with the aim of stabilizing people's hearts and minds, and does not make a fuss on the surface. Please ask the Lord to do another investigation and then cure him. " Liu Bei respected Zhuge Liang's opinion very much, so he didn't punish Jiang Wan, but removed him from his post. Later, I sent someone to inquire about it. During Jiang Wan's tenure, Guangdu County was really well managed. As a result, Jiang Wan was quickly appointed as the magistrate of Shifang County.
It is precisely because Zhuge Liang discovered that Jiang Wan is an able person who observes people's feelings, pays attention to reality and is down-to-earth. When Liu Bei was the king of Hanzhong and Zhuge Liang was in charge of state affairs, Jiang Wan was immediately activated and promoted to Shang, responsible for drafting documents.
After a period of use, inspection and training, Jiang Wan was once again appreciated and appointed by Zhuge Liang when he opened the Prime Minister's Office to select his subordinates (the first year of Jianxing in 223 AD). At first, he was appointed as Mao, later elected as, and later appointed as a military commander, chief historian and general to assist Zhuge Liang in handling the daily affairs of the Prime Minister.
During this period, Zhuge Liang sent troops many times, first to crusade against the rebellion in the south, and then five times to go to Qishan and northern expedition to Cao Wei, while Jiang stayed in Chengdu to preside over the work of the Prime Minister's Office. In fact, Jiang Wan's position at this time is equivalent to that of the Prime Minister, which is called by later generations. No matter how detailed political affairs are, they must be approved, verified and decided by the Prime Minister's Office. Jiang Wan carefully, conscientiously and meticulously experienced Zhuge Liang's evaluation of his "skill of governing the country". In particular, it is worth mentioning that almost all the supplies and supplies needed by Zhuge Liang every time he sent troops were planned and developed by Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan's work ensures the supply of the front line, so that Zhuge Liang has no worries and can fight the enemy wholeheartedly. Zhuge Liang often lamented: "Jiang Gongdan is loyal and diligent, and he is the one who assisted the great cause of the emperor with me."
It is precisely because of his high esteem and trust in Zhuge Liang that Jiang Wan became Zhuge Liang's designated heir before his death. When Zhuge Liang was critically ill in Wuzhangyuan, ministers sent Li Fufeng to visit the province according to the wishes of his late master Liu Chan, and Zhuge Liang recommended Jiang Wan to take his place. In fact, before this, Zhuge Liang had secretly reported to his late master that if he died unfortunately, he would entrust his affairs to Jiang Wan. This shows Jiang Wan's position in Zhuge Liang's mind.
In the 12th year of lite (234), Zhuge Liang died in the army. In accordance with the wishes of the Prime Minister, the first emperor promoted Jiang Wan to be the official minister, led Yizhou to be the general, recorded the state affairs, and made Hou Ting in Anyang preside over the state affairs. At that time, the new coach fell, the ruling and opposition parties were frightened, and the people of Shu were in panic. Jiang Wan knows that the burden on her shoulders is not light. The first thing to do is how to keep Shu stable in the original order. Jiang Wan was deeply saddened by Zhuge Liang's death. Zhuge Liang is his teacher and benefactor. Zhuge Liang's great achievements and upright character always inspire and spur him! This gratitude and admiration for Zhuge Liang is beyond outsiders' comprehension.
However, Jiang Wan deeply knows that at this moment of national panic, as the heir of Zhuge Prime Minister and the minister in charge of state affairs, the eyes of the whole country are staring at him, and the hopes of the whole country are pinned on him. He can't show the slightest panic. He must shoulder this heavy responsibility in order to live up to the trust and expectation of Prime Minister Zhuge. Now is not the time to be sad-no matter how sad he is, what he needs now is to be calm, calm, stabilize state affairs and restore the anxiety and panic caused by Zhuge Liang's death as soon as possible.
So people saw him as cool as a cucumber. "There was neither laughter nor laughter, and God kept his manners as usual." Jiang Wan, who occupies an important position, is as cool as a cucumber, completely marking documents and handling political affairs as usual; His expression was serious, neither sad nor artificial-ordinary as always, so people breathed a sigh of relief and Prime Minister Zhuge succeeded. After all, there is hope for Shu's career! The people's hearts soon stabilized, and the panic situation in Shu gradually stabilized.
More importantly, Jiang Wan won unanimous praise and trust from the ruling and opposition parties for her outstanding talent and spirit of serving the country faithfully.
During the auxiliary administration, he unswervingly implemented various policies formulated by Zhuge Liang before his death. Internally, he protected the country and the people, let the people recuperate and encouraged the development of production, which made Shu's products reach a very rich level; Externally, envoys were frequently sent to contact and exchange, and alliance relations were maintained, so that Shu was not worried about being invaded by the East. Northern expedition to Cao Wei and revival of the Han Dynasty are the lifelong goals of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, which Jiang Wan will never forget. As Zhuge Liang's successor, what he wants to inherit most is the Northern Expedition. While stepping up the training of the army, Jiang Wan constantly considered the route of the Northern Expedition. In view of the unsuccessful experience and lessons of Zhuge Liang's five trips to Qishan, the most important point is that it is difficult to confront Wei Jun for a long time because of sending troops by land, dangerous roads and difficult transportation of grain. If we don't send troops by land, will it be better to attack from the east by water (Ankang County is in the northwest of Shaanxi Province) and Wei State? Jiang Wan has no idea. He brought the idea up for discussion, but the battle plan didn't get the approval of most people. Many people think that the only way to change from waterway to east is Hanshui River, but Hanshui River is urgent and shallow. If you can't win for a while, it's hard to retreat. This is not a good battle plan! These opinions are reasonable to some extent. Jiang Wan saw that his battle plan was rejected. Although there are some regrets, it is related to the overall situation. He no longer insists and has to give up!
It seems that if we want to continue the Northern Expedition, we must find a general who is proficient in military affairs and can recruit good soldiers to command the army. According to the opinions of Fei Yi and others, Jiang Wan advised Liu Chan, the late ruler, and proposed that Jiang Wei, who had taken a fancy to Zhuge Liang before his death and had a high military ability, should be appointed as the secretariat of Liangzhou, so that he could gather troops in Liangzhou to prepare for cutting Wei. Jiang Wan personally led an army to settle in Fucheng County, as the backing of Jiang Wei. Why do you want to take such a military deployment? Jiang Wan believes that the land and water transportation in Fuxian extends in all directions, and it is more convenient to go to the rescue in case of emergency in Liangzhou and other places in the northeast. Later, the Lord approved Jiang Wan's idea of going to the rescue.
But unfortunately, when Jiang Wan went to school, she was already troubled by illness. After he led the army to Luo county, his condition became more and more serious. In the ninth year of Shu-Han Dynasty (246), the sage who lived in Shu after Zhuge Liang, with the ambition of "revitalizing the Han Dynasty", died before he could implement the plan of sending troops to attack Wei.
Jiang Wan is a kind and upright prime minister of Shu. He is indeed Zhuge Liang's capable successor. Of course, he didn't show much talent and achievements in running the army or military activities (this is due to his early death), but his demeanor has always been praised by historians. Reflection? The Biography of Jiang Wan records two examples of him, which shows that he is generous, considerate, dedicated to the public and doesn't care about personal grievances.
A story is: Cao Dong Yan Yang's plays are very simple. When Jiang Wan talks to him, he often shows indifference. Someone said in front of Jiang Wan, "When Gong and Yang spoke, he didn't answer. Is it too much for Yang to look down on his boss? " Jiang Wan said: "People's hearts are different. From the back, the ancients also warned. If Yang Xi agrees with my affirmation, it will violate his original intention; If you object to my opinion, it shows my shortcomings, so I am silent. This is the frankness of Yang Xi. "
Another story is that Yang Min, who was in charge of agricultural affairs at that time, once slandered Jiang Wan, saying that he was "confused and really couldn't catch up with the previous people". The official in charge called for an investigation into Min Yang's libel against his boss. Jiang Wan said: "I am not as good as my predecessors, and there is nothing to pursue." The official in charge also asked him to ask Yang Min what was the concrete manifestation of confusion. Jiang Wan said: "It is better to be unreasonable, unreasonable, and confused. What else can I ask? " Later, Yang Min was arrested for a crime, and everyone was worried that he would be executed. Jiang Wan didn't make a personal decision, so Min Yang finally got rid of the felony.
Jiang Wan's mind and enthusiastic attitude towards public welfare played an important role in maintaining the internal unity of Shu.
Jiang Wan has two sons. Jiang Bin, the eldest son, general Sui Wu of Seoul Guard; The second son, Jiang Xian, served as the servant of the Prince. The two brothers, both civil and military, fell to their deaths in Chengdu. Jiang wenbing, whose name is chan Chen, was a virtuous founder and descendant of Jiang family in the northern song dynasty (960 ~ 962). He was the magistrate of Ningxiang County, Hunan Province, and died in an official position.
