Many boys in love will be asked by their girlfriends to ask such a "proposition", namely"My mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who will you save first? ”
No matter which side the boy answers first, the other party will be dissatisfied with the answer.
Such "propositions" are not only found in modern times, but also in ancient times.
A woman in the Spring and Autumn Period is facingShe had to choose between her father and her husband to die
Although the problem seemed very tricky, the woman solved it skillfully.
Moreover, the ancients also summed up an idiom from this historical event, that is, "people can do their best".
It is not a good word in the modern context, and it has a very pejorative connotation.
If a woman is labeled as a "good man", then she is a person who does not have a proper life style in the eyes of the world, and has had physical relations with many men.
However, when the word was coined, it did not mean that way.
So, what does it mean in the first place?
All of this has to start with the daughter of the secretary who controlled the power of the Zheng dynasty in the Spring and Autumn PeriodYongjiTalk about.
Yongji's original surname was "sacrifice", because she married Yongjie from the Yong family of the Song Kingdom, so she was given the surname "husband".
So, why did Sai Zhong "marry" his daughter to Song Guo?
One is related to the social status of the Yong family.
Although the Yong clan is not a clan of the Song royal family, it is a glorious and prominent family. According to the records in the history books, the Yong family has assisted Song Jun for generations and has a very close relationship with the royal family.
Secondly,At this time, Zheng Ligong, the ruling monarch of Zheng State, was also born to the daughter of the Yong family of Song State. Therefore, it is reasonable for the priest to marry his daughter to the Yong man.
This Yongji was born beautiful, smart and clever, and after marrying Yong's family, she was also favored by her husband Yongjie.
Although the young couple is very affectionate after marriage, after all, the vassal states that the two families are loyal to are different, so there are times when they "sleep in the same bed and have different dreams".
One day, Yongji waited for Yongji to return home for dinner as usual.
But after the sky was dyed by the deep night, Yongjie still didn't return for a long time, and the astute Yongji sensed that something was wrong.
When her husband returned to the mansion in the night, Yongji found that her husband's expression was cold and serious.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Yongji quickly stepped forward and asked Yongjie with a smile if she had eaten, and if she could eat with her a little more?
Although Yongjie felt that he couldn't continue to stay in the same space with Yongji, when he saw his wife's gentle and delicate appearance, he also sat down at the table.
So, why did Yongjie be cold to Yongji when he entered the door?
This is because he met Zheng Ligong privately after the court meeting, and the monarch of Zheng Guoguo, who had the blood of the Yong family, asked him to help him kill his father-in-law.
Although Yongjie and Sai Zhong had concluded an in-law, he still had to put the interests of the family first, so he could only agree to Zheng Ligong's request. Therefore, Yongjie will show reluctance to deal with Yongji after returning home.
After that, back to Yongji, he agreed to sit down and eat with Yongji.
At this time, Yongji also saw that her husband must have something on his mindSo he asked the servant who was next to him to fetch fine wine, and tried to use alcohol to "pry open" her husband's mouth.
Although Yongjie repeatedly pushed back, it was difficult to resist the beauty's request. It didn't take long for him to be poured down several cups by Yongji.
After seeing her husband's strong drinking, Yongji tried to ask Yongjie, did you encounter anything unpleasant today?
Yongjie stumbled and said that he was going to practice outside the city gate tomorrow for the sacrifice.
Seeing that it worked, Yongji immediately asked why her father wanted to go outside the city? Yongjie said that Zheng Ligong wanted to let the priest go to the eastern suburbs to inspect.
Hearing this, Yongji found something abnormal, because the sacrificial mansion is not far from Yongfu, Yongjie should go to the sacrificial mansion to bid farewell to his father, why did he go outside the city?
So, Yongji asked why she went outside the city.
However, Yongjie was a little angry when he heard thisscolded Yong Ji for not asking, and he also muttered under the stimulation of alcohol that he went outside the city to kill people, and then he could become "Qing".
Although Yongjie did not give out all of Zheng Ligong's orders, Yongji could also piece together the truth from the fragments of information he revealed.
At this time, Yongji looked at her drunk husband and thought about her father who might be killed by her husband, and her heart was extremely complicated.
In order not to alarm her husband, Yongji first called a servant to serve Yongjie to go to bed and sleep, and then put on her coat and rushed to the sacrificial mansion overnight to see her mother.
At this time, Yongji still had a husband in her heart, so she didn't tell her mother the purpose of her late night here, but just asked her mother, "Who is the father and the husband?"
But in fact, Yongji's return to the sacrificial mansion has already shown that her heart is more inclined to her father.
The mother did not give an answer after listening to itInstead, he asked Yongji, "The father is just one, and everyone is a husband?" ”
After hearing this, Yong Ji understood what she had to do.
The phrase "all the people who are married" here does not mean that you can sleep with different men. The meaning of the sacrifice of the mother is that the daughter can choose any man in the world as her husband, but the father has only one.
That's why Yongji told her father everything that happened.
When the priest learned of this, he asked Yongji to continue to stay in Yongfu quietly and wait for him to deal with it.
Soon, the next day arrived.
Yongjie also woke up from drunkenness, and he didn't remember what happened last night.
After he saw Yongji sleeping beside him, his mood also became restless, but he was still ready to kill the priest with a plan.
However, what Yongjie didn't know was that Sai Zhong had already arranged an ambush for guards outside the city, preparing to "counter-kill".
And the result of the matter was as arranged by Sai Zhong, not only killed Yongjie, but also confirmed from him that it was Zheng Ligong who wanted his life.
So, why did Zheng Ligong kill the priest? Because he felt that the existence of the priest was a threat to the royal power in his hands.
Sai Zhong was the minister who assisted Zheng Jun of the Four Dynasties.
During the reign of Zheng Zhuang Gong, the priest who was dedicated to the country was appreciated by King Zheng, so he was promoted to secretary.
After the death of Duke Zhuang, the priest took the lead in supporting the eldest son of the king as the successor to the throne, and made a contribution to the dragon.
At this time, in order to control Zheng Guo, the monarch of Song sent the Yong girl to the harem of Gongzi Hu. This Yong's daughter did not fail in her mission and gave birth to Gongzi Tu for Zheng Jun.
After having Gongzi Tu, the Song State deceived the sacrifice Zhong Yu to the Song State, warning him that if he did not abolish the "sudden" and "sudden", then the Song State would wipe out all the people of the Sacrifice Zhong clan.
The priest did not dare to risk his life, so he had to agree.
As a result, Gongzi suddenly ascended to the throne and became Zheng Ligong.
Although Gongzi suddenly sat on the throne of Zheng, it can be seen from the fact that Zheng Guo was actually controlled by Sai Zhong from the behavior of having the ability to depose Gongzi Hu. Therefore, Zheng Ligong could not tolerate him.
However, Zheng Ligong was also afraid of Sai Zhong's power in Zheng State, so he could only contact his son-in-law Yong Jie to assassinate Sai Zhong. However, Zheng Ligong's plan did not succeed, which is also because Yongji was too smart, and used beauty tricks to find out the truth from Yongjie and save his father's life.
For Yongji, when she was faced with the problem that her father and husband could only choose one, she chose her father, which can be regarded as a clever solution to the matter.
