We often see a lot of positive allusions in textbooks, but few teachers will take the initiative to tell you the follow-up of these events, because behind the wonderful wisdom may be the cruelty of self-pretentious wisdom and truth.
1. Lux takes off his boots.
Lux takes off his boots", the long-term interpretation is that Li Bai is not afraid of power, and he is full of pride to let the evil eunuch Gao Lishi take off his boots for himself, and Li Bai, who is writing poems for the concubine, must not be offended, so Gao Lishi is extremely helpless and leans down to ......
Not afraid of power is worthy of admiration, but it is also necessary to divide the object and time. Who is Colliers? An emperor never calls a name, but a general; A bosom friend who never abandons his master and lives as a shadow of his master; A loyal man who died because of the death of his master.
What's more important is that this person doesn't have many evil deeds, just because he is a person who is left behind in his sentence, and he is despised miserably, and Li Bai's move is probably more out of the lofty mentality of a literati.
Li Bai is very persistent about fame.
When he was thirty years old, Li Bai, who had not achieved anything, met with the governor of the state many times, hoping to be hired, and after being slandered, he wrote a confession, but he was finally rejected; Soon went to Chang'an, eager to meet Prime Minister Zhang Shuo, and for this purpose to get acquainted with his son Zhang Xiang; Later, he met with other princes and ministers, but to no avail.
At the age of thirty-five, Xuanzong traveled, and Li Bai took the opportunity to present "The Great Hunting Fu", hoping to win the emperor's appreciation.
After the Anshi Rebellion, Yongwang Li Lan went out to tour the east, Li Bai was invited to enter the scene, and he strongly persuaded Yongwang to take Huiji directly and seize Jiangnan. King Yong was defeated, and Li Bai was also imprisoned.
At the age of fifty-six, Wen Xuanzong went to Shu, then went west along the Yangtze River, entered Shu to live in seclusion, and then went down the mountain to become Song Ruosi's staff.
Therefore, it is really inappropriate for him to let Colliers take off his boots when he is aspiring to a career.
In the darkness, the heart is towards the light; Using dark means to achieve the goal of light, people like Zhang Juzheng are people who are beneficial to the country, the people, and capable of doing great things.
And in fact, the so-called "Lux takes off his boots" follow-up is like this:
Li Bai: Come, the general will help me take off my boots.
Colliers: ......
Xuanzong: Drag me out!
Li Bai drank more in Hanlin, Xuanzong ordered to write music lyrics, drunk and unstoppable, with water, Bai was a little able to move, and the pen waved more than ten chapters, and the text was not added. Later, he ordered Gao Lishi to take off his boots and ordered the little gelding to discharge it.
Supplement to the History of the Tang Dynasty 2.
The allusion of a meal and a thousand gold is that Han Xin received the grace of his drifting mother and reciprocated with a thousand gold, but the story behind it is far more than that.
When Han Xin was young, his family was poor, and he could only beg to live, and the villagers hated it. He had eaten mixed rice at the Nanting Pavilion Chief's house for several months, and the Pavilion Chief didn't say anything, but his wife didn't do it, so once he had an early meal, and Han Xin, who came in a hurry, pounced, and he knew that he was disgusted by the rice, so he broke off his friendship and left.
After leaving, Han Xin had no food and clothing, so he could only go to the river to fish, hoping to solve the problem of food and clothing for a while. However, this is not a long-term solution, so I often go hungry.
Once, Han Shin met a group of women by the river who were washing clothes, and one of them, a kind drifting mother, found him hungry and brought him food.
Han Xin was very moved and said: If you are rich in the future, you must thank you again!
Later, Han Xin became famous, and sure enough, he found his mother and rewarded her with a thousand gold, which is the allusion of "one meal and a thousand gold".
But in fact, a meal is just Han Xin's glamorous side, and there is an unbearable side behind it, for the Nanchang Pavilion Chief who has provided him with food for several months, instead of rereporting, he reprimanded the Pavilion Chief fiercely, calling him a villain.
Why did Hanshin do this? Maybe this is what Chinese people often say: Shengmien fights Mi hatred.
In addition, Han Xin's mother's daughter is afraid that it is not out of any repayment.
A crucial detail was omitted from the previous story, according to Sima Qian's account, instead of being happy when she heard Han Xin's promise of thanks, she angrily scolded Han Xin for being tall and big but unable to earn a bite to eat.
As we all know, Han Shin is a very self-respecting person. was reprimanded by the drifting mother, and he must have been unwilling.
Therefore, Han Xin is developed, and he must find the drifting mother back then, thank him in front of his father and fellow villagers, and let the drifting mother know that he Han Xin said that if he is developed in the future, he will inevitably be developed, and he will thank him again.
To put it more bluntly, Han Xin actually slapped the Drifting Mother in the face with the behavior of a thousand dollars, so that the Drifting Mother and everyone knew that they looked at themselves and looked away.
Similarly, the reason why Han Xin wanted to scold the Nanchang Pavilion Chief was also the same reason, the reason why the Pavilion Chief's wife stopped his meal by using the method of morning cooking was that he did not believe that he would get ahead in the future.
Therefore, Han Xin found the pavilion chief just to tell him, you are looking at the wrong person, I, Han Xin, still have two brushes.
This statement was supported by his attitude towards the bully who humiliated him with his crotch back then, and everyone thought that Han Xin would inevitably kill him, but Han Xin not only did not kill him, but also made him a lieutenant. If Han Xin is really big-minded, he can ignore it and laugh at it, wouldn't it be an invitation to be famous?
Three, Kong Rong let the pear.
Everyone knows that Kong Rong made pears at the age of four, won a good reputation, and was a model of brotherhood, friends and brothers, but they may not know that his follow-up makes people sigh.
It's a little young, it's not necessarily good" is Chen Wei's evaluation of Kong Rong at a banquet, and the ten-year-old Xiao Kong Rong refuted this; "If you want to be a gentleman when you are young, you must be it", the words were shocked. But presumably he would not have thought that this was actually the greatest irony of his life.
When Kong Rong was sixteen years old, he took it upon himself to take in the fugitive Zhang Jian, which led to the killing of his brother Kong Bao, but he became famous for his struggle to confess his guilt.
Kong Rong is talented, but it is only the ability of the tongue, which is not beneficial to the facts, when he was the minister of Beihai, in the face of the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, he had no power to fight back, and before the expedition, he also "drank a lot of alcohol", learned from Xie An to show off, but the result was a battle and collapsed, "abandoning the county and leaving".
When Yuan Tan attacked Beihai, Kong Rong did not change his chic demeanor, "flowing arrows and rain gathered, Ge spear was connected, Rong Yin read a few books, talked and laughed freely", but the result was a slap in the face, he abandoned his wife and ran to Dongshan at night, "his wife was captured by Tan".
It is said that Kong Rong has integrity, but in fact, it is also a big mistake, at first he was reluctant to befriend Cao Cao, and even killed the Beihai Zuo Prime Minister who persuaded him, but once the army was defeated, he surrendered without hesitation.
As for saying that he is upright and a moral model, it is even more nonsense, according to the record of "Kyushu Spring and Autumn", he once killed five postal governors in one day because of unclear accounts, Sima Biao said that although he has poor ability to govern the world, he is quite capable of "Zhang Bang's snare" and "kill and abuse people".
Spray Cao Cao can't say that he is not afraid of power, out of public intentions, Cao Cao issued a ban on alcohol, but he thought that there are wine stars in the sky, and there are wine springs in the world.
Flirtatious, yin and yang weird, who will Cao Cao kill if he doesn't kill him?
In addition, his "parental unkindness theory" is even more incomprehensible, "What kind of relationship should the father have to the son?" On its original meaning, the actual answer is ** ear! The son is also to the mother, and it is also ridiculed? ”
It means that the father gives birth to a child for physiological needs, and the mother is just a container, not worthy of filial piety at all.
How arrogant and rebellious!
Will these teachers take the initiative to tell you?
Fourth, Zhou Yafu's army is fine.
Everyone should know the story of "Zhou Yafu's Army and Fine Willows":
In 158 BC, Zhou Yafu garrisoned the Xiliu Battalion to guard against the Xiongnu. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty went to the labor army, he first went to Bashang and Jianmen, drove straight into the barracks, and the generals and officers and soldiers rode in and out. When they arrived at the Xiliu Camp, the soldiers guarding the gate not only did not let them in, but also said that they only knew the general's orders and did not listen to the edict of the Son of Heaven.
It was not until Emperor Wen sent a messenger to take the talisman into the camp and inform: "I want to work for the army", Zhou Yafu gave the order to open the door. After entering the camp gate, the guards made the emperor's car unable to gallop, and Emperor Wen had to hold the reins of the horse and walk slowly. When he arrived at the camp, Zhou Yafu did not bow down in military uniform.
Although Emperor Wen praised Zhou Yafu's behavior, saying, "This is really a general!" But he was already dissatisfied in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the Huns were not destroyed, and then the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion broke out, he was afraid that he would have been like Lan Yu and Nian Qianyao in later generations, and the rabbit died and the dog was cooked.
But his ending hasn't changed.
In the eleventh year of Emperor Jing, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty summoned Zhou Yafu in the palace and rewarded him with food, but because there were no chopsticks during the banquet, Zhou Yafu was dissatisfied and ordered the waiter to take it by himself. Emperor Jing smiled angrily and said, "Isn't this not enough? ”
Speaking of which, Zhou Yafu was not vigilant, and after a slight salute, he walked out of the palace quickly and said goodbye without saying goodbye, so he had that classic quote - "This cowardly person is not a young minister!" ”
Soon, Zhou Yafu was arrested and imprisoned for his son who bought 500 guilders privately. While in prison, he argued: "The vessels bought by the ministers are burial vessels, so what is the opposite?" But Tingwei, who had already understood the leader's intentions, couldn't listen to it at all, but said in a weird way: "Jun Zong doesn't want to go against the ground, that is, he wants to go against the ears." ”
In the end, Zhou Yafu was starved for five days in prison, ** and died, and the feudal state was abolished.
Zhou Yafu's army is indeed a positive case of strict military management, but his follow-up shows that this approach is not advisable. There is nothing wrong with being upright and not being a powerful person, but at least you must understand the sophistication of human feelings.
It's a bit gray, that's why the teacher doesn't tell you about the follow-up.
Fifth, return to Zhao.
Returning to Zhao is an example of the opposite.
Bian He, a Chu person, found a piece of treasure and presented it to King Chu Li, but his legs were cut off.
Later, this piece of treasure fell into the hands of King Zhao, after King Qin Zhao knew, he proposed to exchange 15 cities, King Zhao was worried that King Qin would break the contract, and the people and money would be empty, but he could not afford to offend, so he ordered Lin Xiangru to take and Shibi to envoy Qin, and act at the opportunity.
So there was a famous scene in the court of Qin: King Qin couldn't put down He's Bi, but Lin Xiangru thought that Qin would not exchange 15 cities, so he hypothesized that Bi was defective and wanted to point it out to King Qin.
So, the king of Qin brought the map and pointed out to him the city promised to Zhao, but Lin Xiangru still didn't believe it, and asked the king of Qin to fast, and the king of Qin agreed.
On the days of fasting, Lin Xiangru secretly sent He Shibi back to Zhao, and he himself stayed.
In the end, the king of Qin was generous and released Lin Xiangru back to Zhao.
When the teacher told this story, he praised Lin Xiangru for how witty and brave he was, but he did not finish the follow-up of Bigui Zhao.
Zhao actually paid a great price for this matter, and even lost the country.
In fact, if we analyze it carefully, we will find that Lin Xiangru's trip to Xianyang, except for playing the king of Qin, actually has no effect, so it is better to refuse directly. King Qin didn't kill him at that time, but he just thought that he was not that important, and it was not even as good as an excuse to send troops.
According to the Historical Records, soon after this incident, King Qin Zhao ordered Bai Qi to be a general and sent troops to attack Zhao, not only killing more than 20,000 Zhao troops, but also seizing Shicheng and other territories, and at this time, other princes did not help because of the "Heshibi Incident".
Lin Xiangru is for a piece, and it is a deception and a broken piece in the court of the Qin State, except for making the King of Qin lose face and be provoked, it has no meaning. Historian Wang Shizhen's article "Lin Xiangru's Return to Zhao after Completion" expressed the same view, criticizing Lin Xiangru for being clever and causing trouble.
Sixth, chisel the wall to steal the light.
Everyone should be familiar with the allusion of "chiseling the wall and stealing the light", but do you know what happened to the protagonist Kuang Heng? The teacher didn't talk about it, right?
When he was a child, Kuang Heng was a model of hard study, and the first half of the period was indeed very educational, he was born in poverty through his own efforts, and he studied angrily, and really became a generation of Confucian masters, and was appreciated by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, entered the palace as an official, and then climbed all the way to the high position of Guanglu doctor, prince and young master.
In history, Kuang Heng repeatedly wrote to the emperor to "reduce the degree of the palace room and save the beautiful decoration......Near loyalty, far from the skillful, let the gentle people, retreat from the mean officials. Talented and straight, he soon went one step further, and was a very popular minister.
However, the twist came. Maybe it was because of his high official position and timid that Kuang Heng began to attach himself to the powerful, did not dare to speak out, and even bent the law for bribes and accepted bribes.
In the later period of Emperor Yuan, the eunuch Shi Xian was the Zhongshu Order, forming a party for personal gain, controlling the government and harming the people, but Kuang Heng, who was the prime minister, not only did not say a word of advice, but flattered him, "A is afraid of things".
After the death of Emperor Yuan, Kuang Heng was accused of "stealing land from a special land", was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Cheng, returned to his hometown, and died of illness in his hometown within a few years.
According to the "Book of Han", when Kuang Heng was enshrined in Le'anhou, the land was originally 310,000 mu, but he took advantage of the mistake of the county map to illegally expand the food seal of more than 40,000 mu.
A diligent and thrifty housekeeper and a hard-working person ends up poor because of **, such a plot is not told to the students who are not deeply involved in the world.
It's not a hard-working person, his character is good.
Seventh, Sima Guang smashed the cylinder.
Everyone knows that Sima Guang smashed the cylinder to save people when he was a child, and it stands to reason that he should be a person with flexible thinking and innovation, but it turned out that he was the one who opposed the change of law the most.
Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were close friends, but there were serious differences in the concept of governing the country.
Because Wang Anshi received the support of Shenzong, Sima Guang, who was a conservative, was naturally given a cold reception, but he did not fight for his "political ideals", and in the face of other positions arranged for him by Shenzong, he directly chose to retire to Luoyang and not ask about the world.
It was not until the death of Shenzong and the return of the conservatives to power that Sima Guang came out of the mountain to become prime minister, and as soon as he came to power, he abolished all the new laws, regardless of whether the measures in them were beneficial to the country and the people.
The most speechless thing is that he actually returned the land of Hehuang that he had finally recovered to Western Xia.
Sima Guang's approach, together with Su Shi on the same front, couldn't stand it, and just returned from the land of debasement, he wrote a letter opposing the complete abolition of the new law, but Sima Guang was unmoved and degraded Su Shi again.
Sima Guang's moral conduct is indeed admirable, but it cannot be said that he opposed the new law from the perspective of the people of the country, but his conservative thinking is the cause of trouble.
Sima Guang's conservative and rigid character is manifested in all aspects, especially things that violate Confucian teaching, and there are a hundred objections.
In the TV series "Qing Ping Le", Sima Guang's opposition to women's sumo wrestling is real. Women's sumo wrestling was a popular pastime, but Sima Guang thought it was immoral, so he banned it from Shin Renzong.
If the ban on women's sumo wrestling is reasonable, then Sima Guang's insistence on patriarchal law and regular governance is too pedantic and stubborn, you must know that when Sima Guang was the prime minister, the Northern Song Dynasty had reached a state of urgency, but he only knew that he could not put forward any effective method in addition to the new law, but he just blindly emphasized the ethics of the program and education. Even Zhu Xi, a loyal defender of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, had a lot of complaints about him: "Yuanyou Zhuxian is reasoning behind closed doors", "Wen Gongzhi said that he didn't take care of himself before and after, and he (Zhang Dian) caught the pain one by one and knocked it out." ”
A person who was flexible and flexible when he was a child turned out to be a stubborn and pedantic person with no political consciousness.
Therefore, the teacher told us that Sima Guang's smashing of the cylinder illustrates a truth: we must be calm, decisive and brave in case of trouble. And never mention, to break the convention, break and stand, creative thinking about the problem.
Because Sima Guang's follow-up doesn't need the teacher to tell us, everyone knows it.
8. Zhuge Liang marries an ugly wife.
Zhuge Liang's marriage to an ugly wife has always been regarded as a model of ambition for the country and indifference, but things are far from being as simple as we imagined.
In history, Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying has yellow hair, black **, ugly appearance, and he himself is handsome, "eight feet tall, like a pine and cypress", with his "romance" There is no need to be so wronged by himself, so the people of the time thought that they were laughing, and the township proverbed for it: "Don't be Kong Ming's wife, just get an ugly girl." ”
The villagers don't understand, but Zhuge Liang has his own considerations.
Although Zhuge Liang has lofty ambitions, but from a humble background, he lost his father since he was a child, first lived with his uncle Zhuge Xuan, after Zhuge Xuan's death, he had no support at all, and had to live in seclusion in Longzhong.
However, the political environment at that time was that if you wanted to embark on a career, you could only "inspect", that is, to be recommended or publicized by famous "celebrities", and Zhuge Liang did not have this condition at all.
And Huang Yueying's father Huang Chengyan is not only a celebrity, but also very famous in the local area, and Huang's wife Cai and Liu Biao's wife are sisters, which means that Huang Chengyan is also the "brother-in-law" of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.
Marrying with it is undoubtedly a shortcut.
For this reason, he not only married an ugly girl himself, but also married his younger brother to the daughter of the Lin family, a well-known figure in Nanyang in the Jingzhou group, and married his sister to the son of Pang Degong, a well-known leader in Xiangyang in the Jingzhou group, so Pang Degong appreciated him very much and called him "Wolong".
You said that Zhuge Liang married a wife to marry a virtuous? Or a name?
Nine, the golden house is hidden.
This allusion should also be thunderous, it is a childhood sweetheart, symbolizing a model of beautiful love, but now it has evolved into a second mother.
When Liu Che was only four years old, the eldest princess Liu Concubine hugged her beloved daughter Gillian and asked him: "Do you want a wife?" He replied: "Desire", so the eldest princess pointed to the more than 100 model-level slaves and maids around her, but Liu Che shook her head again and again, and when she pointed to Gillian, she came to the spirit and confessed to her mother-in-law affectionately: "If you have Gillian as a wife, store it as a golden house." ”
Seeing that her nephew was so well-behaved and clever, and her mouth was as sweet as honey, she immediately encouraged her to persuade Emperor Jing of Han to make Liu Che the crown prince and successfully married Gillian. After Liu Che ascended the throne, Gillian was made the queen, and she really lived in a palace that was even more luxurious than the golden house.
However, as Xin Qiji said, "How long can Israel do to others?" Soon, Liu Che lost interest in the old pearl yellow Gillian, and had a new favorite Wei Zifu, and soon because Gillian was not angry, she abolished her queen position and was imprisoned in the cold palace.
It can be seen how unreliable the love promise of "Golden House Zangjiao" is, especially for those emperors who cannot live without women for a day.
10. Friends with necks.
"Neck friends" is generally considered to refer to Lian Po and Lin Xiang, but in fact, it also refers to the other two - Zhang Er and Chen Yu.
Zhang Er and Chen Yu are both from the Great Liang of Wei State, but the difference between the two is more than ten years old. Sima Qian said that Chen Yu treated Zhang Er like his father, "Yu is young, his father is Zhang Er, and the two of them have a neck-to-neck relationship." ”
Later, Qin destroyed Wei, and the two became wanted criminals together, and in the process of escaping, the two supported each other and had a thicker relationship. Later, the two took refuge in Chen Sheng and became the left and right lieutenants of the Zhang Chu regime.
Chen Sheng knew that the two were very familiar with Zhao Di, so he asked them to go to attack Zhao together with his generals, Wu Chen.
After Wuchen occupied part of Zhao's land, Zhang Er and Chen Yu encouraged him to establish himself as king, so Wuchen broke away from Chen Sheng's control, established himself as the king of Zhao, and named Chen Yu as a general and Zhang Er as the right prime minister.
But less than a month has passed, Wu Chen's subordinate Li Liang suddenly rebelled and killed Wu Chen in one fell swoop, and then Zhang Er and Chen Yu joined forces to defeat Li Liang and reinstate Zhao Xie as the king of Zhao.
However, the friendship between the two soon cracked.
After Li Liang was defeated and fled, he surrendered to Zhang Han, and soon led his troops to level Handan, and Zhang Er fled to Julu with King Zhao and was besieged by Wang Li. At that time, Chen Yu was leading the troops outside, and there were tens of thousands of horses in his hands, but compared with the Qin army, he was not vulnerable at all, so he had to be stationed north of Julu and wait for the opportunity to move.
Wang Li had enough food and grass to storm Julu, and Julu City ran out of food and had few soldiers, so Zhang Er asked Chen Yu for help, but Chen Yu felt that he had few soldiers and did not dare to rescue.
So, Zhang Er was furious and sent Zhang Huang and Chen Ze to blame Chen Yu. However, Chen Yu couldn't save Zhao under the pretext, but sacrificed in vain, so he only allocated 5,000 men and horses to Zhang Huang and Chen Ze, but unexpectedly, the two were wiped out by the Qin army just before they arrived in the battle.
Later, Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, the siege of the giant deer was solved, Zhang Er saw Chen Yu again, and it was a scolding to split his head and cover his face, and then he asked about the whereabouts of Zhang Huang and Chen Ze. Chen Yu didn't bother to explain, so he untied the general's seal letter and went fishing with hundreds of cronies.
When Chen Yu returned from hunting, he found that Zhang Er had already taken the ribbon of the seal letter he had dropped and sat in the position that belonged to him.
It seems that it is really my military power, Chen Yu has reason to think so. As a result, the two parted ways.
Later, Zhang Er entered the customs with Xiang Yu and was named the king of Changshan, and Chen Yu was only named Hou because he did not follow, plus the territory of three counties. Chen Yu was very dissatisfied with this, so when Tian Rong, the king of Qi, rebelled, he took the opportunity to attack Zhang Er, beat him to the ground and fled to Liu Bang.
After Chen Yu drove away Zhang Er, he recovered the territory of Zhao, took Zhao Xie back, and became the king of Zhao again.
The following year, Liu Bang went out to attack Xiang Yu and wanted to unite with Zhao Guo to act together, so Chen Yu proposed: It is okay to send troops, and Zhang Er's head is exchanged.
Liu Bang was reluctant to kill Zhang Er, and he didn't want to lose Zhao Guo, a foreign aid, so he found a person who looked like Zhang Er and beheaded him, and tricked Chen Yu into sending troops.
After that, Liu Bang and Pengcheng were defeated, and Chen Yu also realized that Zhang Er was not dead, so he betrayed Liu Bang again. A year later, Han Xin and Zhang Er led a large army to besiege Zhao, and in the first battle of Jingcheng, the 200,000 Zhao army was annihilated, and Chen Yu was also beheaded on the bank of the Lushui River.
This is Zhang Er and Chen Yugu's reputation of "slashing the neck", for the sake of interests, they will not save them when they see death, and they will make a big move without waiting to be sealed, and they will put them to death when they seize the opportunity, sad!
Teachers may not bear to let us face the cruel side of history, but we must face it up to it for enlightenment.
