The story of the urn

[Popularity: 10853]

Wu Zetian, the empress of the Tang Dynasty, appointed a group of cool officials in order to suppress those who opposed her. Two of them are the most vicious, one is called Zhou Xing, and the other is called Lai Junchen. They have used false accusations, accusations and inhumane criminal laws to kill many upright civil and military officials and civilians.

Once, a whistleblower letter was sent to Wu Zetian, the content of which was to accuse Zhou Xing of contacting someone to rebel. Wu Zetian was furious and ordered Lai Junchen to investigate the matter strictly. Lai Junchen, he muttered in his heart, he thought, Zhou Xing is a cunning and treacherous person, and he can't let him tell the truth with just a whistleblower letter; But if the results can't be found, the Queen Mother will blame her, and I can't afford to come to Junchen. What can I do? After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a clever plan.

He prepared a sumptuous banquet and invited Zhou Xing to his home. Two of you, you persuade me to drink, and talk while drinking. After three rounds of drinking, Lai Junchen sighed and said: "Brother, I usually handle cases, and I often encounter some prisoners who do not admit their guilt, I don't know what the brother can do?" Zhou Xing said proudly: "This is not easy to do!" As he spoke, he took a sip from his glass. Lai Junchen immediately pretended to be very earnest and said, "Oh, please give me advice quickly." Zhou Xingyin smiled and said: "You find a big urn, roast it with charcoal fire around it, and then let the prisoners enter the urn, you find a big urn, roast it with charcoal fire around it, and then let the prisoners enter the urn, think about it, what prisoner does not confess?" Lai Junchen nodded yes again and again, and then ordered someone to bring a large urn, as Zhou Xing said, lit charcoal fire around it, and then turned back to Zhou Xing and said: "Someone in the palace secretly accused you of rebellion, and the upper side ordered me to investigate strictly." I'm sorry, but now I'll ask my dude to get into the urn himself. When Zhou Xing heard this, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and then he fell to the ground with a thud, kowtowing again and again: "I am guilty, I am guilty, I confess." ”

The story can be found in "Zizhi Tongjian: The Second Year of Empress Tang Zetian". The idiom "please enter the urn" is a metaphor for using someone to rectify himself.

A kaleidoscopic story

[Popularity: 10047]

According to legend, King Mu of Zhou had eight horses that traveled thousands of miles a day and were deeply favored. He likes to play very much, and once accepted the invitation of the Queen Mother of the West to participate in the Yaochi Festival.

One day, King Mu of Zhou returned to Heshan from Kunshan, and on the way he heard that there was a man named Yanshi, who was ingenious in his craft, and the animals he made could call and run. He was a little unconvinced, so he immediately summoned the Yanshi and asked, "I heard that you can make all kinds of delicate things, take out one and let me see it." ”

The next day, Yanshi brought a dummy carved of wood to meet King Mu. King Mu was surprised to see that these dummies had complete facial features, eyebrows and mustaches that looked exactly like real people.

King Mu asked Yanshi, "Can all these people you carve move?" \”

The Yanshi said, "Not only can you move, but you can also sing and dance." Just like a real person. ”

King Mu said: "Let them perform, I see how much worse it is than the real people." ”

The Yanshi uses the sound of drums to direct the wooden man to start moving. According to the rhythm of the drums, the wooden people did not open the formation, attacking and defending, but seeing that the wooden people were holding knives, guns, swords and sticks to attack and kill, defend, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and then lined up into a long snake formation, and suddenly became an ambush on all sides, and then turned into a nine-palace and eight sealing array, six flower arrays, seven star arrays, and eight gate arrays, and the formation was ever-changing, and King Mu was dazzled and very happy. He felt that it was a pity that such a novel thing was not appreciated by the concubine, so he ordered the palace maid to invite the concubine to watch it together.

When the Yanshi saw the arrival of the concubine, he intended to show off his skills, so he said: "The lineup of the performance just now is too intense, and it is not suitable to perform in front of the girls. ”

The Yanshi picked up the cloud board, blew the sheng spring, and the wooden man sang loudly. The song is tactful and melodious, suddenly like a hundred birds and a phoenix, the warbler and swallow language, echoing endlessly, suddenly like an ape crying the Three Gorges, sad and sad, tear-jerking, suddenly like a dragon chanting deep pool, tiger roaring valley, magnificent.

King Mu and all the concubines were intoxicated by the melodious songs.

The Yanshi changed the beat of the drum board slightly, and the wooden man rolled up his long sleeves in the song.

Dancing like clouds and flowing water, dancing gracefully, or like lotus flowers in the rain, competing for red and spit out; Or like the wind blowing willows, swaying. One of the wooden people, who frequently squeezed his eyebrows at the concubine, seemed to be flirting, and was discovered by King Mu. He was very angry, thinking that it was misbehaving and deliberately molesting, so he ordered the wooden man to be beheaded.

Knowing that a misunderstanding had been caused, the Yanshi hurriedly dismantled the wooden figures. When King Mu saw that the wooden man was only made of leather, paint, horsetail hair, and wood, he couldn't help laughing. At the end of the performance, King Mu was amazed and said, "It's wonderful, it's like a fairy." ”

Prime Minister Zhao Yuanzhen and Zhu Ya, who was ill, wrote inscribed: "The body rides the basket, the tail returns to the sky, and the air is strong in the mountains and rivers." ”

Paraphrasing: The heroic spirit of people is like a mountain and a river.

Story: Zhao Ding, the minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, was born poor, lost his father at the age of four, and grew up under the care and education of his mother. At the age of twenty-one, he was admitted to the Jinshi, and when he was an official, he dared to criticize the powerful, and was appreciated by Prime Minister Wu Min, and was transferred to the capital Kaifeng. In the winter of 1125, the Jin Kingdom in the north sent troops to invade the south. The capture of Taiyuan in the autumn of the following year seriously threatened the security of the Song Dynasty. The mediocre and cowardly Song Qinzong panicked and hurriedly convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss countermeasures. Some ministers who were greedy for life and afraid of death advocated ceding land and seeking peace with the Jin state. Zhao Ding had a different opinion from these ministers. He said: "How can the land left by the ancestors be given to others, and I hope that Your Majesty must not consider this kind of opinion!" However, Qinzong was very afraid of the Berzin soldiers, and was determined to surrender on his knees and cede the great mountains and rivers. When the envoys of the Jin army came to negotiate, they demanded that all the land north of the Yellow River be ceded to the Jin state, but Qinzong did not dare to disobey and agreed to the request put forward by the Jin army. However, the rulers of the Jin Kingdom were not satisfied, and they ordered their troops to continue their efforts. At the end of this year, Jin Bing arrived at Kaifeng City. The timid Qinzong did not wait for the Jin army to break through, and personally went to the Jin army camp to beg for surrender. Soon after, the commander of the Jin army detained Qinzong, let his subordinates enter the city and plunder, and then took Qinzong and his father Huizong as prisoners, along with a large amount of gold and silver treasures looted, and returned to the Jin Kingdom. The Northern Song Dynasty perished. Soon, Qinzong's younger brother, King Kang Zhao Gou, established the Southern Late Dynasty in Nanjing, known as Song Gaozu in history. In the early days of Song Gaozu's accession to the throne, a group of ministers of the main battle faction were used, and Zhao Ding was also among them. Qin Hui, who once served as the prime minister, was the leader of the main peace faction, and was dismissed for forming a party and dictatorship. Zhao Ding was very wary of him, and once told people that if this person succeeded, there would be no place for our family. Unexpectedly, Qin Hui was appointed as prime minister again. He knew that Gaozong only wanted to favor Jiangnan and not sincerely resist Jin, so he tried his best to instigate Gaozong to make peace with the whole country. Zhao Ding naturally opposed him. As a result, Qin Hui often spoke ill of Zhao Ding in front of Gaozong, which made Gaozong gradually lose trust in him. Later, Gaozong finally demoted him to a foreign place to become an official. When Zhao Ding left Beijing, Qin Hui saw him off with a pretense of affection. But Zhao Ding didn't appreciate it, just glanced at him contemptuously, arched his hand and left. For this reason, Qin Hui was even more jealous of Zhao Ding, transferred him farther and farther away, and finally degraded him to Zhuya. Zhao Ding lived in Zhuya for three years, and his acquaintances did not dare to visit him, and his life was very difficult. When Qin Hui learned of his situation, he thought that he could not live long, so he instructed the magistrate to report to him every month whether he was still alive. When Zhao Ding was sixty-two years old, he finally fell seriously ill. Before he died, he called his son to the bed, and said angrily: "Qin Hui has to put me to death." If I don't die, he may poison you; I'm dead, so I won't bother you anymore!" After that, he asked his son to take an inscription and write a line on it. It means: I return to heaven with two stars, the Kei and the tail, and my spirit exists majestically and heroically like the mountains and rivers in this dynasty. A few days later, Zhao Ding died without eating.
