What is disjointed?"Out of touch"The word has many meanings in ancient Chinese. For example, Yan Zi said to the driver after getting out of trouble:"Ann Zhi!Don't lose your temper. "This is to reassure the coachman not to lose control and control of the carriage. Qin Gongzi said to Lu"The position of the corridor temple, I did not dare to lose the festival. "It is said that he never violated etiquette when he stood under the corridor of the Jongmyo Temple. "Hanshu Liu Xiang Biography" said:"The frost falls out of season, not at the right time. "It's about the climate out of season. Wang Su said:"Although the dance is hard, it is not out of order"It is about dancing fast, but not losing the beat. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty was founded in December Wushen solar eclipse in the first three years of the founding of the Han Dynasty, and that night**, Gu Yong said:"It is the post of the concubine after the moon", which is about the loss of virginity of the women of the harem. Meng Da said first"Jingzhou was defeated, the ministers lost their temper, and none of them returned. "It is said that Guan Yu's subordinates surrendered to Sun Quan one after another and lost their discipline as courtiers. But there was one more incident in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty"Out of touch"The incident, which is different from the situation mentioned above, is that the envoy sent by the imperial court, Ma Riyan, lost his scepter and finally died of grief.

The envoys of the Han Dynasty were the representatives of the emperor, and there were those who sent to foreign countries and those who sent to domestic countries, the latter being equivalent to the ministers of the Qin Dynasty in later generations. Since it was a temporary mission, in addition to the emperor's edict, the envoy also held a special status"section", i.e., the scepter;The Messenger's Day does not leave the body, so it is also called"Envoys"After the task is completed, return the scepter to the court.

The Han Dynasty scepter was shaped like an eight-foot-long bamboo pole decorated with three layers of fashionable oxtail hair"Hm", that is, streamers, with tassels at the ends. Han Dynasty scepter"Hm"For red, the crown prince Liu rebelled when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and in order to distinguish it from his scepter, a yellow scepter was added to the scepter issued by the imperial court"Hm"。After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he changed the Chi tribe on the scepter to Huang Xuan, and changed it back after Emperor Guangwu established the Eastern Han Dynasty. The scepter represents the authority of the emperor, and his subordinates must obey the orders of the envoy who holds the festival as if they were seeing the emperor. The envoy can use the knot to command, arrest**, and mobilize troops. Because the scepter is an important token, it is the duty of the messenger to carry it and protect it, and it must not be lost. For example, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, was detained by the Xiongnu for more than ten years, and had a child with his local wife, but Zhang Qian still held the Han Festival and was not lost. Su Wu was detained by the Xiongnu for 19 years, exiled to Beihai, he shepherded sheep on the Han Festival, whether he slept or got up, he held it, the tasseled hair on the top fell off, and he still held the knots, which was passed down by later generations as a beautiful talk, but Ma Mu Pan failed to do it.

In August of the third year of the first peace, the imperial court sent the Taifu Ma Riyan to inspect the Kanto region, and the servant Zhao Qi was his assistant. In the first month of the following year, Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and led the remnants to flee to Huainan and occupy Shouchun. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was held hostage by Dong Zhuoyu's party Li Dao and Guo Yan at this time, and lost his actual ruling power. Ma Riyan waited until Shouchun to announce the appointment of Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu did not take the envoys sent by the puppet emperor seriously and was very unkind to them. Zhao Qi's strict attitude towards Yuan Shu made him a little jealous, but Ma Riyan was afraid, and Yuan Shu looked down on him very much.

One day, Yuan Shu sent someone to find Ma Riyan, saying that he wanted to borrow his scepter carefully. In order to curry favor with Yuan Shu, Ma Riyan actually agreed to take the scepter away. As a result, Yuan Shuru obtained the treasure, deducted the scepter and refused to return it. Ma Riyan was very passive because of this matter, and begged several times to get back the scepter, but Yuan Shu took the opportunity to put forward various conditions to force Ma Riyan to agree. Yuan Shu first wrote a list of more than 1,000 people, and asked Baoju to be promoted to the imperial court for approval.

Ma Riyan disagreed at first and said to Yuan Shu:"Your ancestors also served as the Three Princes, are they like this?In such a hurry, could it be that the position of the rafter of the public government could be forced?"But Yuan Shu insisted on doing so, and in order to beg him to return the scepter, Ma Riyan finally had to agree to protect this batch of **.

Yuan Shu took an inch, and handed over the pieces and documents that made various requests to the imperial court to Ma Riyan, and asked him to sign his name first, as if these things were Ma Riyan's request. After this batch of ** was indiscriminately reported, it aroused the dissatisfaction of other warlords. Yuan Shao was the most angry, and he later reported to the imperial court, saying that Ma Riyan had broken the emperor's order, and those who favored and protected him had too bad a reputation to shoulder heavy responsibilities, and they were all rejected by everyone. It is also said that Ma Riyan shielded Yuan Shu and gave him advice, which destroyed the good relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. "The flesh and blood brothers of the ministers are also enemies, and they are fighting each other, and it is very difficult. "So Ma Riyan is not a person inside and out.

Ma Riyan repeatedly asked for the return of the scepter to no avail, and wanted to leave Shouchun to return to Chang'an, Yuan Shu did not let him go, and forced him to serve as his own military advisor, Ma Riyan refused to stay in Shouchun for a year, full of resentment, vomiting blood"He died of disgrace and sorrow. "His coffin was later returned to Xudu by Yuan Shu, and the imperial court wanted to bury it with solemn ceremonies, but was opposed by Kong Rong and other ministers, believing that Ma Riyan had lost his scepter"Qu flattered traitors and was led by them", was dragged away by Yuan Shu, did not fulfill the duty of the messenger, and did not investigate his sins, he was already taken care of, and it was not appropriate to hold a grand funeral. The imperial court finally accepted Kong Rong's opinion.
