Life of the characters

There are few high-level talents

When he was young, Li Zhen had a good character. He studied extensively and studied Classics deeply. Together with Guan Ning, a famous hermit and Beihai native, he was called to be a virtuous man, but he did not go there. He was called up by the three governments several times, but he did not take office. Sima Yi, the Taifu, recruited Li Zhen to be his family. He refused to accept him because he was ill. County officials helped him get on the road. At that time, Li's mother was seriously ill, so Li secretly climbed over the wall of Li's family and went home on foot, so he caught up with his mother's funeral. People who talked about it praised his ambition and integrity.

Dissuade to finish

Later, Li Zhen took the post of Bingzhou BIE Jia. When Qin Lang, the general of Xiaoqi, passed by Bingzhou, the governor of Bingzhou was very respectful to him and asked Qin Lang to take a car to the official office. Li Zhen exhorted Bi GUI and insisted that he could not do that. He had no choice but to comply.

Highly valued

In the third year of Jiaping (251), Sima Yi died. Sima Shi was in charge of the military and political power of Wei state, and appointed Li Zhen as a general to work as Zhonglang. After Li Zhen arrived, he was introduced. Sima Shi said to Li Zhen, "in the past, the former Duke (SIMA Yi) recruited you, but you didn't agree. Now I appoint you, and you come. Why?" Li Zhen replied, "my ancestors treated me with courtesy, and I was able to decide whether to become an official or retire according to the courtesy. If Minggong uses it to restrain me, I fear it. " Sima thinks highly of him. Later, he was transferred to Sima, the general of the army, and soon he became an official and paid homage to youchangshi. In the second year of Zhengyuan (255), Li Zhen returned to the court after following Wu Qiujian and Wen Qin, who were in the process of pacifying the "three rebellions in Huainan" by Sima Shi. His officials were upright, not afraid of the powerful, and all officials were awed by the powerful politics. Sun Pu, a native of Le'an, who he recommended, was also famous for his morality. People at that time praised him for his ability to identify talents. Soon after, he was transferred to the rank of the Chief Secretary Ma Ying and was removed for official business.

Liangzhou Lixun

When he was appointed to guard Ye City, he appointed Li Zhen as his army commander. Soon after, the imperial court appointed Li Zhen as the governor of Liangzhou. He served as a general of Yangwei, a fake Festival, and a captain of the school of protecting Qiang. He was very famous and accomplished in stabilizing China and resisting barbarians. When the Qiang people invaded the frontier fortress, Li Zhen took advantage of the opportunity and did not have time to make a report, so he sent out troops to go deep in time. As a result, he won a great victory. Because of his great contribution, he was not condemned by the imperial court. At that time, people compared him to Feng Fengshi and Gan Yanshou of the Western Han Dynasty. Li Zhen asked to return to Beijing, and the imperial court agreed to him.

Sili of the two dynasties

Li lived at home for more than a month, was appointed governor of Jizhou, and was gradually promoted to captain of Sili. In 266, Cao Huan, emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, abdicated to Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. Li Zhen, who was the deputy of Zheng Chong, served as his duty as situ, held the policy of abdication. In the early years of Taishi (266-274) in the Western Jin Dynasty, Li Zhen was granted the title of marquis Qi. Soon after, Li Shangshu said, "the former Lijin County Magistrate Liu you, the former Shangshu Shantao, the Zhongshan King Sima mu, and the late Shangshu bushe Wuxin each occupied the third watch rice field of the government, asking for the removal of Shantao, Sima Mu and other officials. Wu Xin is dead. I beg to derogate from his posthumous title. " Emperor Wu issued an imperial edict and said, "the law is the criterion of the world. If it can be implemented after that, how can I indulge evil in it! However, Liu you did it. They encroached on and exploited the common people and confused the officials of the imperial court. The treacherous officials dared to do such a thing. Liu you should be punished by torture. If Shan Tao and others no longer make mistakes, they should not be charged. The book of changes says that "Wang Chen is loyal because he has no selfishness.". Today, Li Zhen insists on his ambition of serving the public wholeheartedly and acting according to his responsibilities. It can be said that he is "the director of the state.". Emperor Guangwu said: "the emperor's relatives and relatives still need to restrain themselves to avoid Er Bao." is that the case! It will not happen many times to admonish all the officials to treat their duties carefully and to be lenient. " Li was appointed as the commander of the two dynasties, and was praised by the court. Later, he was dismissed for official business. In 267, Emperor Wu appointed Sima Zhong as the crown prince and Li Zhen as the crown prince. Since the reign of Emperor Ming of Wei Dynasty, the eastern palace has been empty for a long time, the system is deserted and defective, and the officials are not complete. There are no official positions such as Zhan Shi, Zuo Zuo Li, Shu Zi, Zhongshe Ren, etc. only the Wei Li order has been set up to let him be in charge of the army, and Taifu and Shaofu jointly act as the agents of all affairs. Li has been in office for many years. He has taught morality and tried his best to plan. When Yanghu was appointed general of chariot, he refused to give him to Li Yin, Lu Zhi and Li Zhen.

Abdicate and die

Later transferred to serve Shang Shu, at that time bald tree function greatly broken Jin army, Li began to start fighting. The officials thought that it was not easy to send troops and that the enemy was not enough to cause disaster, so they finally did not listen to Li's suggestion. Later, the enemy was so reckless that Liangzhou was destroyed, and the imperial court deeply regretted it. Later, he was appointed doctor tejin and Guanglu. Emperor Wu issued an imperial edict to add Li Zhen as a doctor of Jin Zi Guang Lu, set up ten official cavalry for him, and gave him 500000 yuan. Li Zhen's status and salary, just like the third division, set up a horse in front of the mansion. The imperial court gave Li Li 100 pieces of silk for his honesty, simplicity and thrift. In 283, Emperor Wu believed in slander and ordered Sima you, the king of Qi, to go out to guard. When Li Zhen died, the imperial court gave him a posthumous title of "Cheng".

Character evaluation

General comments

Since he became an official, although he was not incorruptible and different, he had no savings in his family, shared food and clothing with his relatives and friends, and never used his official status to seek personal gains.

Historical evaluation

Sima Yan: 1. Today, he is determined to be a public official. He can be said to be "the direct Secretary of the state.". Guangwu has a saying: "your relatives should hold their hands to avoid the second abalone.". How could it be! ② Guanglu doctor and tejin Li Zhen were appointed as Taisi. He bowed to me and became an official with his age. Yang Hu: Although he saw narrow things, according to today's Guanglu Doctor Li Zhen, he was upright and upright; Guanglu doctor Lu Zhi was clean and had few desires, but he was not the same; Guanglu Doctor Li Yin was clear and simple, and he was in the court, serving HUAFA and being polite all the time. Fang Xuanling et al. Jin Shu: 1. Ji He's close to Qiwen, and he's upright as an official. ② Shuyan is not reserved, but he is right for Qiancheng. Wang Fuzhi's on reading Tongjian: Li Zhen, Liu Yi and Fu Xianzhong were the leaders at that time, but they could not take the former slanders and the latter thieves as the clan to drive them out. It is not true that there were some people in the Jin Dynasty.
