Who are we talking about in our country?

Yelu Chucai is famous for his long beard, which is called "beautiful beard and loud voice" in history. Genghis Khan affectionately called him "Saheli in my country".

Buddhist talents

Yeluchucai (A.D.119-A.D. 1244), whose real name is Jin Qing, was named Zhan Ran layman. Because of living in Yuquan mountain area, it is also called Yuquan layman and Qidan people. Yeluchucai was originally a descendant of the Qidan nobles. He used to be an official of the state of Jin, and later he was reduced to a minister. During the reign of Wokuotai, Emperor Taizong of Yuan Dynasty, he made great achievements and made the best use of his talents in national affairs. He was made a minister by Wokuotai, became a good minister of Mongolia, and became a generation of founding stars. How did Lu Ye Chucai become a celebrity in the founding of the People's Republic of China?

In AD 1 189, Zuo Cheng, the prime minister of the State of Jin, gave birth to a son in 66 years. Yelulu knows the art of divination very well. He told his son to his face and said, "My son got it at the age of 60, and he will become a great instrument one day, just for a foreign country." So he quoted the historical allusion of "Although Chu has material, gold is practical" in Zuo Zhuan, and named it Chu Cai, with the word Jin Qing. Yeluchucai died when he was 3 years old and was raised by his mother, Mrs. Yang. Yeluchucai was smart and studious since childhood, and at the age of 17, he read a lot of books and was the "author of the article". Lu Ye Chu is the most proficient person in Confucian classics in history. He has considerable attainments in astronomy, geography, medical divination, calendar, interpretation of the old and mathematics.

In 1206, Lu yechu was only "zhongkejia", only 17 years old; At the age of 24, he was granted tongzhi in Kaizhou; At the age of 25, he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Shangshu Province. Seeing that Jin Zhangzong was unable to flee to the south and witnessed years of war, he converted to Buddhism, took Song Wan as his teacher, and called himself a layman in Zhan Ran. Burn ointment, almost three years. Although Lu Yechu was a Buddhist and "ruled by Buddhism", he was concerned with the ruling and opposition parties and hoped to "rule the country by Confucianism" to show his ambition. Therefore, he, a thoroughly China-oriented landlord-class intellectual who worships Buddhism and respects Confucianism, did not really enter Buddhism.

Enter Mongolia

12 15 years, the Mongolian army captured Zhongdu. Lu Ye Chucai fell from then on. Genghis Khan heard that he was clever and could divine, so he ordered him to see him. Genghis Khan knew that Lu Yechu was the eighth grandson of Turkic, the king of East Dan in Liao country, which was destroyed by Jin State, and said to him, "Liao and Jin feud, now I can repay you?" Lu Ye Chucai replied, "I have tasted northern affairs since my father and ancestors. Since I am a courtier, how dare I be unfaithful and hate my father? " Genghis Khan has always liked honest people. When he saw that Lu Ye Chu Cai was still loyal to his old master in his words, he couldn't help liking it and ordered him to "consult around". Seeing that Lu Ye Chucai had a long beard, he affectionately called him "Mr. Beard" instead of calling him by his first name.

In fact, Lu Ye Chu Cai didn't get the attention of Genghis Khan, just because he was good at divination and knew the number of tricks, so he was treated with courtesy. Genghis Khan first used a group of Uighurs to observe the astronomical phenomena. On one occasion, they predicted that there would be an eclipse on May 15 this year, but Yelu Chucai stated that there would be an eclipse on May 10/5 next year. As a result, King Yeluchu won. Genghis Khan admired Lu Ye Chu Cai's divination and said, "You don't know the things in the sky, but you know the things in the world!" "

Despite this, Yeluchucai was still not reused by Genghis Khan and could only continue to serve as a priest.

There was a Xixia man named Chang Bajin, who was favored by Genghis Khan, who advocated force, because he was good at making bows and arrows. He looked down on a group of Confucian scholars who were powerless, such as Lu Ye Chu Cai. Once, he said to Genghis Khan, "The state uses force, but what is the use of law-abiding Confucianism?" Lu Yechu immediately responded in a tit-for-tat manner: "Since ancient times, you can win the world at once, but you can't rule the world at once. You still need a bowmaker to make a bow. If you are the master of the world, don't you have to rule the master of the world? " Genghis Khan "listened well and used it more and more." Genghis Khan was dying, so he called Wokuotai and said, "This man is a godsend of my family, and the army will take care of it in the future."

Progressive amplifier

After Genghis Khan's death, Wokuotai and Tuo Lei began to secretly compete for the position of Khan. Who will sweat will directly affect the stability and future development direction of Mongolia. Yeluchucai hopes to choose a person with political talent to be a great Khan, and Wokuotai is an ideal candidate because of his insight and determination. Tuo Lei, like Genghis Khan, advocated force and disliked Confucian scholars. Therefore, at the Khan election meeting, Yeluchucai did not fall to the side of the majority Tuo Lei. Instead, he urged Tuo Lei to "make plans for clan society as soon as possible" on the basis of Genghis Khan's testamentary edict, so that Tuo Lei dismissed the intention of deliberately delaying Khan's election date, and Wokuotai finally ascended the throne of Khan. Yeluchucai was praised by Taizong as "Minister of the Country" and was trusted and reused.

Mongolia has not been founded for a long time and has been in war for years. The national treasury is in urgent need of replenishment. Mongolians only know how to plunder and don't know how to recuperate, which has brought great disasters to the people of the Central Plains. Yeluchucai set up the 10 road tax collection office, hired more than 20 famous Confucian scholars, and made remarkable achievements in tax collection, handing over 502 thousand silver and countless goods such as gold, silk and grain. Emperor Taizong was curious, so he set up a provincial secretariat in the central government to "worship the secretariat today", giving Lu Ye more power to shine, and stipulated that "everything should be white first". At this point, Lu Yechu changed from being in charge of literature and fortune-telling, into a pro-minister and an important minister of Mongolian Khan, and became a country with temporary weight.

A good minister to govern the country.

After Yeluchucai became the secretariat of the Central Committee, he vigorously governed the country, promoted feudal policies from political, economic and cultural aspects, and applied the Confucian thought of governing the country to practice, thus enabling the Mongolian empire to be baptized by the feudal culture of the Central Plains, bypassing the historical reefs of nomadic peoples, and greatly promoting the transformation of Mongolia from slavery to feudalism. Therefore, Yeluchucai adopted a series of measures, such as carrying forward and reusing Confucianism, separating military and political affairs, strengthening centralization, and opposing slaughter, and implemented the production system of Han people in the ruling areas, which made outstanding contributions to Mongolia's consolidated development and social stability and progress.

Behind Lu Ye's brilliant achievements are endless hardships and tribulations. At that time, "after the national chaos, the sky was broken, the earth axis was broken, people were destroyed, and the world was in chaos." On the other hand, people of all countries have their own language barriers and different views and ideas. "It is very difficult for Chu Cai to become a scholar!" "But it is in this environment that Lu Ye Chu Cai, with his own main force," created everything, empowered Baidu, made music and ceremonies flourish, and saved poems and books from embers. The emperor made a vow, the regime of Jingwei changed, the war was fierce, and clothes were easy to be discarded, which made the state-owned system, the law moderate, the ceremony and music prosperous and the society initially stable.

The reason why Mongolia did not suddenly rise and perish is inseparable from the founding of Yelu Chucai. Lu Ye Chu Cai's "Take the Tang Dynasty as a distant view and take it as one's duty" and "Do your best, and people will repay you" finally consolidated the mountains and rivers laid by Genghis Khan and laid the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty. Lu Ye, as a generation of founding stars, played an important role.

Confucius disciples

Lu Ye Chu Cai especially advocated respecting Confucius and advocating Confucianism, because the ruler's recognition of Confucianism is actually a watershed for whether to implement feudal policies. To this end, Chu Cai introduced the fifty-first generation grandson of Confucius as a duke and built a temple for afforestation. He also called the famous master of Confucianism into the palace to give lectures and teach the children of Mongolian nobles the way of saints. With his efforts and support, monasticism was established in various places, which made Confucian scholars all over the country respond in succession, and the voice of reading resounded throughout the country.

Lu Ye Chu Cai said to Yuan Taizong, "The builder must use a good bow, and the defender must use a Confucian minister." Emperor Taizong then promised to be an official. The next year's college entrance examination, although "those who are taken into slavery, make a test." In this exam, "there are 4,300 students, not one of the four slaves." Among these people, a large number of outstanding talents have emerged. Unfortunately, this kind of examination has only been held once, and there is no system. Lu Ye Chucai also paid great attention to finding and preserving Confucian classics. In the war of conquest, "the general fought for his son's jade and silk, and Lu Yechu took the rhubarb medicine alone." Due to the preservation of Lu Ye Chu Cai, many historical books have been preserved, and the Yuan Dynasty compiled Liao History based on his preserved Liao History. Yeluchucai loves reciting poems at ordinary times, leaving behind the "Zhanran Jushi Collection" and The Journey to the West, who are handed down from generation to generation.

Xianxiang passed away

Lu Ye Chucai is a famous upright official in history. When Genghis Khan attacked Xixia, the generals robbed the treasures one after another, but he collected and preserved many anthologies and a large number of medicinal materials. Later, the military epidemic prevailed, and these herbs saved tens of thousands of people. In 1227, he was ordered to go to Yanjing to rectify the order. At that time, in the capital city, many children from powerful families went out to rob and kill people in ox carts at dusk. Yeluchucai is not afraid of violence, not moved by interests, and makes fair decisions. He publicly beheaded criminals like 16, which did great harm to society. In A.D. 1244, Yeluchucai died at the age of 55. After he died of illness, someone framed him for embezzling his own money. After inspection, it was found that he had nothing but the inscription on the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which showed his incorruptibility. According to his last wish, he was buried at the lake Wengshan (now Kunming Lake in Beijing Summer Palace) at the foot of Yuquan Mountain in Yanjing. When Ming Taizu's tomb was stolen, Emperor Qing Qianlong ordered the temple to be rebuilt on the original site, so as to carry forward the "way of praising the virtuous and persuading the loyal". On his inscription, he wrote "Poems and Preface of Lu Ye Chu Cai's Tomb", in which he wrote: "The hidden spirit is always young, and Loyal Gar is full of fear. Living without anything is called a ghost desert, and it is sealed with a tomb. " This poem spoke highly of Lu Ye Chucai's historical achievements as a generation of celebrities.
