Wang Xian of the Tang dynasty had the same childhood friendship with Emperor Wenwu as Yan Ziling and Emperor Guangwu of the Han dynasty. He often pulled his pants and played with his hat for fun. When the emperor was not yet a nobleman, he often joked, “Wang Xian will never be an official until he is old.
When the emperor sat in the palace, Wang Xian went to pay his respects and took the opportunity to report, “Can I be an official now?”. The emperor smiled and said, “I wonder if I can. So he summoned Wang Xian’s three sons and gave them all five official titles.
Wang Xian was unable to catch up with them and asked the emperor to give him an official title. The emperor said, “You do not have a noble prime minister, and I do not feel sorry for you. Wang Xian said, “Even if I become an official in the morning, I will be satisfied with dying at night. At that time, a servant, Fan Xuanling, said, “Your Majesty, since you have an old friendship with him, why don’t you try to give him an official position? So the emperor awarded Wang Xian the third rank, and asked people to bring him a purple robe and a gold belt as a reward. Wang Xian died that same night.
In the Tang dynasty, Wang Wu hindered Wang’s gambling and was fond of raising eagles and harriers. Before the ascension to the throne of Emperor Wen and Wu Sheng, he and Wu hindered him from gambling to win, and there was a regret of Li Yang’s death.
When Emperor Wen Wu Sheng ascended to the throne, Wang Wu hindered him and hid him. The Emperor ordered his envoy to sell a Harrier to the market for twenty thousand dollars. Of course, Wang Wuhen did not know about this and offered eighteen kan. When the messenger reported this to the emperor, the emperor said, “It must be Wang Wuhim,” and summoned him to the palace. So he summoned him to the imperial palace and said, “It must be Wang Wuhim.
The emperor laughed and rewarded him by sending him to Chunmingmen to wait for the carts from the states for three days. The emperor laughed and rewarded him by sending him to Chunming Gate to wait for three days for the carts from the states, and gave them all to him. After sitting for three days, because Baqiao was broken down, Wang Wuh hindered only received three carts of hemp and nothing else. The emperor, knowing that he was not well off, gave him no more rewards. But he asked many times to be a fifth-grade official. The emperor said, “It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, but it’s a pity that you can’t use it. When Wu hindered resolutely asked, the emperor agreed. That night, Wuhang died.
This is also a kind of destiny but not a part of the strike, on the surface, the official is not the emperor appointed? But if you have no virtue, or if your virtue is small, even if you become an official, it is at the cost of your life. This is why some people are lucky to be an official, while others are miserable. If you do a great evil, it will bring misfortune to your children and grandchildren!
