History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"Guo Ziyi has been reused by the emperor for many years. The main reason is that Guo Ziyi can help the emperor solve problems."

"Guo Ziyi supported Tang Suzong's rise to power, helped Tang Daizong quell the Anshi Rebellion, and allowed Tang Daizong to return to Chang'an. After that, he was able to quell rebellions in border minority areas. It can be said that Guo Ziyi was always able to turn the tide and save the Tang Dynasty at critical moments, so the emperor could Always use him."

"After Guo Ziyi put down the Uighur and Tubo rebellions, he can be said to have become a "golden sign" of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knows that Guo Ziyi made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty."

"But after Guo Ziyi achieved success, he chose to retire to save himself. In 774 AD, Guo Ziyi asked Tang Daizong to "retire", but Tang Daizong did not allow it."

"Although Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty did not let Guo Ziyi retire, Guo Ziyi had already put herself in a "retired" state at that time in order to avoid the emperor being afraid of her."

"Because Guo Ziyi knows very well that if his power is too strong, like An Lushan, the trust between the emperor and his ministers will eventually become lower and lower, and the final result will be that the emperor and his ministers turn against each other."

"Guo Ziyi is neither willing to stand on his own feet nor willing to be killed, so he can only endure."

"Guo Ziyi is very smart and tolerant. When Guo Ziyi was fighting the Tubo people on the front line, his family's ancestral graves were excavated by people ordered by Yu Chaoen."

"Today, many people have their ancestral graves dug up, which is a great insult to their families. In ancient times, when their ancestral graves were dug up, it was a great insult to the family."

"But Guo Ziyi was able to endure such a shame and humiliation and continued to maintain a good relationship with Yu Chaoen."

"In the end, Yu Chaoen was moved by Guo Ziyi's generosity and couldn't bear to trouble Guo Ziyi anymore. In fact, Guo Ziyi also knew that Yu Chaoen was directly under the emperor. The reason why Yu Chaoen dared to do this must be to get Got the emperor’s hint.”

"The emperor wants to see how Guo Ziyi will react through this matter. If Guo Ziyi directly arrests Yu Chaoen, then Guo Ziyi will already have a disobedient heart, and the emperor will make preparations in advance. In fact, the emperor will not only let Yu Chaoen In addition to making things difficult for Guo Ziyi in every possible way, he also personally "set a trap" for Guo Ziyi."

"In the Tang Dynasty, there was an official position called "Shang Shuling". This position was vacant all year round because Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, once held this official position. Therefore, after Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, this official position has been vacant and no one dared to sit on it."

"But because Guo Ziyi had made great achievements and the emperor had nothing to reward him, he repeatedly asked Guo Ziyi to serve as Shangshuling, but Guo Ziyi insisted not to accept it."

"In fact, Guo Ziyi also knows that this is the emperor's test to see if he has any disobedience."

"If Guo Ziyi accepts the position of Shangshu Ling, it will be difficult to maintain the relationship between the emperor and Guo Ziyi."

"In addition to not accepting a higher status and being low-key and patient, Guo Ziyi is also cautious in everything in his life."

"Guo Ziyi never takes many people with him when he goes out, only one or two servants, just like the smallest official in Chang'an City."

"Guo Ziyi also strives to be frugal when eating and dressing. He is not only strict with himself, but also strict with his family."

"There was only one servant to take care of his wife and daughter, and once, Guo Ziyi's son cried to him that their brother, the son of Guo Ziyi's wife's wet nurse, was beaten to death by Du Yuhou for making a small mistake. "

"Guo Ziyi did not blame Du Yuhou, but instead blamed his own son. He believed that his relatives should be strictly managed." "Another time, Guo Ziyi's son Guo Ai had a conflict with the princess. Guo Ai said angrily: "No We, the Guo family, are not as powerful as the Tang Dynasty. "

"After Guo Ziyi knew what Guo Yan had said, she immediately tied up her son and went to the emperor to plead guilty. Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty believed that children should handle matters between children by themselves, without the need for parents to come forward."

"Tang Daizong did not punish Guo Ai. Instead, Guo Ziyi went home and beat Guo Ai dozens of times as a punishment."

Zhao Gou: You are a coward. He went to educate his own son when his son was beaten. All he knew was that he was in trouble. For such a big minister to have only one servant, he lived a really useless life!
Zhao Kuangyin: Shut the hell up. Did that deer that Zhao Gao was holding kick your brains out? How could Guo Ziyi dispel the emperor's concerns about him if he didn't do this? It's a brainless thing. Miss Zhang continued.

Cao Cao: Haha!This is something even my ancestors can’t stand!

"With Guo Ziyi's repeated humility, patience and concession, Guo Ziyi finally enjoyed his old age and died of serious illness at the age of 85."

"After Guo Ziyi's death, he received very high treatment. Tang Dezong posthumously awarded him the title of Taishi, worthy of enjoying the ancestral temple."

"After Guo Ziyi's death, his children were also favored by the emperor. In the late Tang Dynasty, the Guo family continued to prosper."

Qin Shihuang: This is called true wisdom!

"When talking about the "Anshi Rebellion", the hero who definitely comes to mind is Guo Ziyi. How did Guo Ziyi get to this point? The first thing I must mention is the number one scholar at that time."

"Actually, Guo Ziyi, who came from a poor scholar-bureaucrat family, took part in the martial arts examination when Wu Zetian was in charge of the world, and entered the official career as the number one scholar in martial arts."

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty: Didn’t he say that Wu Zetian governed the country with culture?Did the imperial examination also test literature?

"There is nothing wrong with that. When Wu Zetian first came to power, she emphasized civility over military affairs. She carried out a large-scale purge in the military and replaced them all with her cronies."

"But the result of this was that the combat effectiveness of Wu Zhou's army dropped sharply, and they soon faced a sharp increase in border defense pressure. The foreign war was also a complete failure."

"Later, Wu Zetian became anxious. In order to select military talents, improve the army's combat effectiveness, and adapt to the needs of border defense and foreign wars, she hurriedly issued an edict in 702 AD to "teach people to practice martial arts" and promulgated examination methods. The martial arts examination system was thus It is established that it was during this period that Guo Ziyi took the scientific examination and won the first place."

"Although Guo Ziyi won the first prize in Wuzhou, his highest official position was only as deputy governor of Anxi and Beiting."

"In addition, Wu Zhou's regime did not last long. He was forced to retreat by the civil and military ministers who supported Li Tang, and the regime returned to Li Tang's hands. Therefore, Guo Ziyi was a useless hero during Wu Zetian's period. It is estimated that Wu Zetian's impression of Guo Ziyi also changed accordingly. Put it aside and forget about it.”

"But Wu Zetian never expected that "if she wanted to plant flowers, they would not bloom, but if she had no intention of planting willows, they would create shade." Guo Ziyi, who took part in the martial arts examination under her rule and won the first place in one fell swoop, became the most promising martial arts champion in the ancient flower-growing country!"
