007 Mrs. Mi is lost

Mrs. Mi is Liu Bei's official wife.

Historically, there are very few records about Mrs. Mi, and there is no written record of when she was born, when she died, and how she died.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Mrs. Mi's death is described like this: After Mrs. Mi handed Adou over to Zhao Yun, she knew that if Zhao Yun took herself and Adou to break out of the encirclement, she would definitely have no chance of winning, and she was afraid that she would drag her feet, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.

And Zhao Yun was worried that Mrs. Mi's body would be found and humiliated by Cao Cao's people, so he knocked down a wall next to it and used the mud of the wall to seal the well where Mrs. Mi was located.

Luo Guanzhong wrote a poem to praise Mrs. Mi:

The generals are all based on horsepower,

How to help the young gentleman on foot.

Fight to survive Liu Hei,

The courage to repay the loss of the female husband.

Luo Guanzhong wrote "Romance", and of course he wrote more "righteous deeds". So he fictionalized the scene of Mrs. Mi committing suicide by throwing herself into a well, and Zhao Yun pushed the wall to cover the well in order to maintain the dignity of the master's wife, and saved Adou in blood-stained robes.

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu, Mi Zhu Biography" set up a separate biography for Mrs. Mi's elder brother Mi Zhu, saying that Mi Zhu Zizhong, a native of Donghai Qu (now Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province). The ancestral world is a collection of goods, tens of thousands of servants, and a huge (钜jù) billion.

"The ancestors have been farming, there are 10,000 servants, and there are hundreds of millions of assets" means that the ancestors have been engaged in reclamation for generations, raising nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and have assets of hundreds of millions.

"Hundreds of millions" is RMB, Taiwan dollar, Japanese yen, Korean won, or "two", then I don't know. In short, a lot of assets.

In 196 A.D. (the first year of Jian'an), Lü Bu took advantage of the stalemate between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to take the opportunity to sneak attack Xiapi and capture Liu Bei's wife.

Lu Bu, this dirty thing, which wife of Liu Bei was "captured"? I don't know.

Liu Bei has been displaced all his life, and after marrying a wife, he was lost in the war several times.

If you lose it, you will remarry. How many wives does he have? Historical records record that Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Sun and later Mrs. Wu.

Didn't write it down, did it?

There should be. Otherwise, he would not have come up with such a famous saying as "a woman is like a garment."

What kind of person is Mi Zhu?

He has a story recorded in "Sou Shen Ji": Mi Zhu once came back from Luoyang, and when he was still dozens of miles away from home, he saw a beautiful woman on the side of the road asking him for a ride.

Mi Zhu stopped the car and asked the beautiful woman to get in the car.

After the two walked for about 20 miles, the woman thanked her and said goodbye, and said to Mi Zhu: "I am the messenger of the Emperor of Heaven, and I am going to burn Mi Zhu's house in the East China Sea. I'm telling you because I thank you for giving me a ride. ”

Mi Zhu bluffed, thinking in his heart "East China Sea Mi Zhu family", isn't it my home? So, he knelt down and pleaded with the beautiful woman, saying, "That's my house, please don't burn it." ”

The beautiful woman said, "If you obey the orders of heaven, you can't help but burn it." But, since it's your house, you can go back quickly, and I'll go slowly. Wait until noon to start a fire. ”

Mi Zhu then hurried home, and when he got home, he moved all his belongings out.

Sure enough, at noon, the fire burned violently.

Many people have not read "Sou Shen Ji", and "Casting the Sword" in Lu Xun's "New Story Edition" is a story adapted from "Sou Shen Ji", you can imagine what stories are in "Sou Shen Ji".

However, it can also confirm Mi Zhu's character from one side.

Mi Zhu is a businessman with strong political leanings and ambitions. There are similarities with Lü Buwei of the Qin Dynasty: Lü Chong had an affair with his maid and became pregnant, and gave it to Qin Shi Huang's father; And Mi Zhu gave his sister to Liu Bei.

Lü Bu took advantage of the fierce battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to attack Xiapi and capture Liu Bei's wife, and Liu Bei was transferred to Guangling and Haixi. At this time, Liu Bei's army was in a predicament, and Mi Zhu, a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou, vigorously funded Liu Bei out of political ambition.

His funding was divided into two parts, one was gold and silver supplies. When I sent gold and silver materials, I learned that Liu Bei's wife, Lao Xiao, was captured by Lu Bu's house, Uncle Huang, the great hero of the world, and he couldn't leave a woman by his side, so he said to Liu Bei, "I have a little sister, who is young."

, I wonder if Uncle Huang intends to do so? ”

Liu Bei was embarrassed and said, "If you want these finances of the local tyrant, how can you open your mouth again?" ”

Mi Zhu said, "Don't be polite, gold and silver materials are dead, but people and women are alive." ”

Mi Zhu is not wrong in what he said, during the Three Kingdoms period, men cannot be regarded as living people, and when they can't say when, they will be hacked to death.

Mi Zhu returned home and told his sister about the abduction of the wife of the world hero Liu Bei by Lu Bu, and asked her sister if she intended to marry Liu Bei?

The little sister turned her head shyly and said, "As the saying goes, 'there is a father from the father, and there is no father from the brother', and the younger sister's life depends on the elder brother." ”

Mi Zhu was overjoyed when he heard this, and then sent his sister, along with 2,000 slaves, to Liu Bei's account.

This incident greatly encouraged Liu Bei and greatly lifted Liu Beijun's heart.

But since then, Mrs. Elk has not been mentioned, her whereabouts are unknown, and the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" has not given her a biography.

In order not to tire Zhao Yun, Mrs. Mi rescued Adou and died in a well, which is described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" we see now had several versions before it was written, and the author was Luo Guanzhong, a famous novelist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. After the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written, there were many versions such as Jiajing Ren's afternoon book and other versions passed on to the world, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Mao Zonggang rectified the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", revised the rhetoric, and changed the poems.

Luo Guanzhong's twenty-four volumes of Jiajing Ren's afternoon version of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for Zhao Zilong's rescue of Adou seems to have written that Mrs. Mi threw herself into the well, because Zhao Zilong was disrespectful to him:

Yun led the army to look at the Changhan slope and left.

And he saw a group of people, hundreds of men and women, and they went away together.

Yun shouted, "Is there a lady Gan in the middle?"

Mrs. saw Zhao Yun in the back, Yun rolled the saddle and dismounted, Zhao Yun asked Mrs. Gan to get on the horse, and the road was opened in front of her, and she was sent straight to Changhan Slope.

Yun heard that the army had arrived, and when he saw it, the Ma Bu official army was all over the mountains, all of them surrounded the people and plundered them, killing the old and the young.

Yun Ting shot the horse and looked back, but when he met the people, he asked Mrs. Mi for news.

Suddenly, a person pointed and said: "The lady is holding the child, with a gun on her left leg, and she can't walk, so she can only sit on the wall in front of her." ”

Yun panicked to pursue, and saw Mrs. Mi holding her three-year-old son, sitting on the ground and crying.

Zhao Yun hurriedly dismounted and entered to see Mrs. Mi.

Zhao Yun said: "Madame's suffering is the sin of the clouds. Needless to say, please get on the horse. The clouds are on foot, and they must fight to the death when they encounter the enemy. ”

Madame refused to mount. The shouts on all sides started again, and Yun Da shouted: "If you don't listen to me like this, the rear army will come!"

When Mi heard this, he abandoned Adou on the ground and threw himself into a dry well and died.

Zhao Yun was afraid that Cao Jun would steal the corpse and bulldoze the wall to cover it.

Later, Zilong was not allowed to enter the Wuchen Temple, and Zixu guarded the door, and Gai was afraid of the master's mother, so that he died, and he was also disloyal.

There is a later historian who praised Mrs. Mi and said: Virtuous Mi family, internal assistant Liu Jun. Words are not lost, and there is a lot of progress and retreat. The heart is like a golden stone, and the ambition is like a pine cloud. Although the body is returned to the earth, the name is not stained with dust. After a thousand years, Mrs. Xiang.
