It is said that less do not read "Three Kingdoms", the old do not read "Water Margin", obsessively do not turn "Red Chamber", see through the red dust can not read "Journey to the West", why is there such a saying?
When a teenager reads the Three Kingdoms, his eyes are full of scheming and calculations, and what is there any straightforward innocence under a look? Old to read the Water Margin, that uneven thing is a good man's disposition, heroic courage can not do what he wants! Sadness comes from it, and it is quite old!
And the infatuated people look at the Red Chamber, in front of them are all the fight daddy Saizu, snobbish climbing, where is there any true feelings and pure intentions? If a person who prides himself on being empty and transcendent and holy reads "Journey to the West", he will not see any holy monks and deities, but only mortals with naked eyes, "greed, anger, and delusion" who have all the thoughts of painting skin laymen.
It can be seen from this that these "four strange books" are really mysterious and profound, and just listing the big and small characters one by one can make people fly in the snow and be poor. Therefore, today we will only talk about a "small person" who is very important in the Three Kingdoms, based on historical facts, slightly different from Luo Guanzhong's pen, this person is portrayed in the interpretation as an "old decaying god stick" who constantly falsely claims the number of days and repeatedly contradicts Zhuge Liang, and the history records that his person did have the talent of "going through the heavens and the earth", and even Zhuge Cheng Xiang, the later lord Liu Chan, and Sima Shi's father and son were impressed by it.
What is even more amazing is that he was originally a "sour" Confucian, and he actually wanted to compete with Kong Shengren all his life, but he did not want to pass on his family's hobbies, which made him a "great prophet" who was like a god in the Wei and Jin dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, a distant zhuge ge, and extremely far-sighted and extremely accurate.
Who is he? According to the annals of history, his name was Tan Zhou, the small character Yunnan, a native of Xichong County, Bashi County (present-day Nanchong, Sichuan), and his father, Yu Rongshi, was very well-researched in the Confucian classic Book of Shang, and he was also proficient in all the books of the sages, as well as the texts related to the prophecies of "Tu and Wei" (similar to the fortunes of the country, the Mandate of Heaven, the Celestial Signs, and so on).
At that time, Yizhou Thorn History and Shu Commandery Taishou both summoned him to become officials, but he actually refused all of them, causing Yizhou Thorn History to personally come to worship him as a teacher, and consulted him as a friend about Yizhou. However, not long after, the old master who knew the "Mandate of Heaven" and the "Fortune of Man" died young, leaving an orphan, Tan Zhou, who was raised by his mother's brother, that is, his uncle.
When Yu Zhou grew up a little, like his father, he was fond of ancient books, but because his family was poor and had no real estate property, he would only read the classics all day, and sometimes he laughed happily alone, even to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. His most exquisite is the six Confucian classics of "Shijing, Shang Shu, Li Ji, Zhou Yi, Le Jing, and Spring and Autumn", in addition to which his reading notes are also very extensive.
Moreover, he also knew very well how to look up at the stars in the sky, but he was not very focused on this, and none of the articles of the Hundred Sons and Hundreds of Families were not familiar with the chest. He was eight feet tall, but he was very thin, frank in temperament, and did not pay attention to appearance and clothing. He doesn't like to argue with his tongue, but he is very quick-witted at heart.
During the reign of The Shu Han Dynasty,Zhuge Liang concurrently served as the pastor of Yizhou (益州牧), and he appointed Zhou zhou as the superintendent of the Ministry of Education (persuasion). Later, Zhuge Liang died of illness on the front line, and Yu Zhou heard the news at home and immediately ran to Zhuge Liang's spirit to serve the funeral, and soon after Emperor Liu Chan issued an edict prohibiting individuals from going to the funeral, only Yu Zhou quickly arrived at the funeral place before the holy decree was issued, and was greatly amazed by the people at that time.
Later, the Shu Han general Jiang Huan concurrently served as the Assassin of Yizhou, promoting Zhou to the rank of Scholar of Classics (Minister of Education), and leading scholars and students from Yizhou. Later, Liu Chan was made crown prince, and Yu Zhou became the secretary of the taibu temple, taking care of the travel affairs for the prince, and later promoted to jialing (when Liu Qi, the emperor of HanJing, was the prince, Chao was the family order), that is, the housekeeper of the prince's eastern palace.
After Zhuge Cheng's death, the Later Lord gradually liked to travel, and became more and more obsessed with the sound of jingjing, and Tan Zhou wrote to advise: "Now that the Han Dynasty has suffered bad luck, the world is divided into three parts, His Majesty's heavenly posture is filial piety, mourning for more than three years, talking about the fallen, the husband is worried about the body, not having time to have fun, the ambition of the former emperor, the hall is not formed, and it is not the time of happiness." May the province reduce the number of music officials and the harem, but be given by the emperor, and be taught to be frugal for the descendants. ”
That is to say, now that the Great Han Dynasty has suffered the usurpation of the Throne by the Cao clan and the doom of the Sun clan, so that the world is divided into three parts, Your Majesty you were originally very talented, and you are a very good person, for the sake of the former emperor actually kept the funeral for more than three years, whenever you talk about the former emperor, you shed tears, which is the reason why Your Majesty is worried about his heavy responsibility! Then it is even more important to have no time to take care of enjoyment, and to complete the ambition of the former emperor to restore the Han Dynasty, now that the great cause has not been accomplished, it is really not the time to enjoy it, and the subject hopes that His Majesty will reduce the entertainment expenses in the palace and the entertainment expenses of the harem, and will honor the legacy of the former emperor, and at the same time set a good example of frugality for future generations.
After the lord Liu Chan read it, he agreed with him very much, and immediately promoted him to the rank of Zhongshan Doctor, and also let him serve around the prince. Later, in order to fulfill the legacy of his former master Zhuge Chengxiang, the general Jiang Wei raised an army to the north and cut down the Central Plains, resulting in the people of Shuzhong being poor and emaciated, and their livelihood withering away, and Chen Wei and Shangshu desperately argued with Jiang Wei about the pros and cons of the war in front of the Hou Lord.
However, because Jiang Wei was the most powerful courtier of the Shu Han Dynasty after Jiang Huan and Fei Yi, and the later lord did not dare to rebuke him easily because he was the heir of his father Zhuge Liang's mantle, So Yu Zhou and others had no right to speak in front of him, so they had to retreat home and write their views in writing, and even wrote a "Theory of The Enemy of the Country".
The gist of it is: "Cao Wei and we Shu Han have been establishing the country in peace and stability for decades, which is very different from the chaotic situation in the world at the end of Qin, so His Majesty cannot do the Han Gaozu who calmed Qin and destroyed Chu in one breath, but can only do the work of slowly recuperating, accumulating national strength and then gradually taking over the world of King Wen of Zhou." If we blindly exhaust ourselves and use force, causing the country to fall apart, and we have not waited for the enemy to attack, we ourselves will already have the sign of national destruction! ”
After the Lord saw it, he did not comment, but Jiang Wei thought that he was deeply rooted in Kong Ming's true tradition, that he was rich and powerful, and that the soldiers of the Western Qiang had always respected and obeyed him, so he was convinced that zhongyuan still had great hopes to be conquered, so he completely ignored The advice of Zhou Zhou.
Later, Yu Zhou was promoted to the rank of Guanglu Dafu and ranked as the Ninth Secretary, but he never participated in specific political affairs, but only promoted Confucianism and etiquette in the imperial court, so he was deeply respected by the scholars.
In the winter of the sixth year of The Shu Han Jingyao, the Wei general Deng Ai led a crack army across the Jedi Sky Ridge and straight to Jiangyou, the gateway to Chengdu, all the way invincible. At that time, no one in the Shu Han Dynasty expected the Wei army to enter the hinterland of the state in this way, so there was no city defense dispatch around Chengdu.
When Deng Ai's army invaded Yinping County, and the people of Shuzhong fled into the mountains to hide, the news reached Chengdu. The Lord hurriedly summoned his courtiers to discuss countermeasures, but none of them could come up with a real strategy against the enemy. Some people actually proposed that the hou lord "should run to Wu", and some people said that "to throw yourself into the seven counties of the south and block the danger of defending yourself". (Either defect to Eastern Wu, or go south to the barbarian king Meng's ministry)
Only Yu Zhou said, "Since ancient times, where has there been a Son of Heaven who has dwelt in another country?" If we run to Eastern Wu now, we will have to submit to the old Sun family, and in the future, when the State of Wei annexes Eastern Wu again, will we not be able to suffer the humiliation of being a vassal to the State of Wei again? If you run to Nanzhong Mengyu, you should have been prepared a long time ago, and now suddenly running over will only make the barbarians despise our incompetence, how can we be at ease to take us in against the strong enemy in the north? ”
At this time, someone jumped out to make it difficult for Zhou zhou: "According to your meaning, Deng Ai marched so quickly, even if we surrender immediately, what if he had to take the city and not accept the surrender?" Yu Zhou sneered, "If the State of Wei conquers shu han, will it still annex Eastern Wu in the future?" If he did not accept peaceful surrender for a moment, and had to attack the city and slaughter him, and then fight against the State of Wu in the future, would he not want to consider how strong the resistance of the old Sun family would be? I expect that as long as His Majesty immediately surrenders to Wei, the State of Wei will definitely split the earth and seal the Marquis to treat His Majesty and me kindly, etc., if this effect is not achieved, I will go all around to Luoyang, and I will strive with Sima Zhao to straighten out, nothing more than touching the steps and crashing into the pillar and dying! ”
When everyone listened, no one dared to refute it, but the lord of the hou still wanted to go south to the barbarians, and Yu Zhou said: "The southern king Meng Was brave and deceitful, and has always only served Zhuge Cheng Xiang alone, and the southern barbarians are remote, and they have provoked rebellion many times, since the death of Wu Hou, although they have always submitted to the imperial court, but because Jiang Wei has repeatedly captured Zhuang Ding from Nanzhong to replenish the source of troops, so that Nanzhong has a deep grudge against us, once we go to surrender, that is, there are wolves in the north and tigers in the south, I am afraid that the situation will be worse!" It is better to learn from the Shang Dynasty's micro-son, cover his face with a white cloth, bite the jade bi in his mouth, and tie himself up and surrender before the Wu King's army, will the benevolent Wu King not accept such a surrender? ”
Only then was the Lord of Hou persuaded by Yu Zhou to surrender to the State of Wei. Later, Liu Chan became the Duke of Anle County in Luoyang, and was preferentially treated by Cao Wei and the Sima family, and it can be said that Zhou's plot was indispensable.
Later, Sima Zhao became the King of Jin and Xiangguo of the State of Wei, and with the merit of persuading Shu to surrender, he immediately made him the Marquis of Yangcheng, and personally issued a letter of appointment to invite him to Luoyang as an official, but Zhou Zhou traveled to Hanzhong and suddenly became "seriously ill" and could not move forward. It was not until the second year of Cao Wei's xianxi that the Ba county official Wen Li returned to Shuzhong from Luoyang, met Yu Zhou in Hanzhong, and asked him what would happen in the world. Yu Zhou smiled and said nothing, and only wrote on the whiteboard with chalk: "The noon is suddenly wet, and the moon is not wet." ”
Wen Li did not understand what it meant at that time, and when sima Zhao suddenly suffered a stroke and died in August, he suddenly realized that the word "dian" written by Tan Zhou was synonymous with the word "Si", and the word "noon" corresponded to the chinese zodiac sign in the earth branch as "horse", and "Yue You" was the meaning of "August", that is to say, Yu Zhou had already calculated that Sima Zhao would die in August, so everyone in the world regarded Zhou Zhou as a god and a strange person.
Later, Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan declared himself emperor of the state, and repeatedly issued edicts asking Yu Zhou to come to Luoyang to be on standby, and It was only three years after Sima Yantai, the emperor of jinwu, arrived in Luoyang by car with illness. When he saw Emperor Wu of Jin, he also said that he was sick, and Sima Yan saw that he was indeed seriously ill and had great pity, so he wanted to grant him the post of knight lieutenant and another fief of Yiyi.
However, Tan Zhou said that he had been enfeoffed without merit, and he was really ashamed, so he asked for the return of the fief of the imperial court, which greatly touched Emperor Wu of Jin and resolutely refused to allow it. In the fifth year of the Tai Dynasty, Chen Zhou said to Chen Shou, a historian who was also a Shu person (that is, the author of the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms): "In the past, Confucius lived to the age of seventy-two, Liu Xiang and Yang Xiong both died at seventy-one, and now I am over seventy years old, I have always admired Confucius, hoping to be able to compete with Liu Xiang and Yang Xiong, I am afraid that I will live to be about their age, and I will never see you again!" ”
At that time, Chen Shou listened to this and knew that Chen Zhou was proficient in yishu, and he was convinced of this. By the following year, in the sixth year of Shi Tai, Emperor Wu of Jin promoted him to the rank of Commander of the Scattered Horse, but he was too ill to get up to give thanks, and he died in the winter of that year. Yu Zhou had three sons, but the younger son, Yu Tong, received his true lineage, and was as loyal and simple as he was, and Emperor Wu of Jin wanted to summon him to wash horses for the Crown Prince Donggong, but he was also pushed away by all kinds, which was really a legacy of his father.
Later, nearly two hundred years later, in the last year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Western Shu Nanchong Clan produced another well-known figure, named Tan Zhong, who actually opposed the low-key and resolute character of his uncle Zhou Zhou, gathered a crowd in Shu and established himself as the king of Chengdu, known in history as "Shu Shu". He also paid tribute to the Northern Qiang Qin Yao clan (Later Qin), hoping to sit in western Shu and compete with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was already on the verge of extinction, waiting for the opportunity to advance the world.
However, he did not want to "have the lord of the mandate of heaven", a generation of war god Liu Yu waved his troops to the west, and destroyed the Kingdom of Shu, which had been divided for nine years, in one fell swoop, and the King of Shu also committed suicide because of this defeat, and liu Yu, who later ascended the throne and became the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty, sent a great battle achievement!
Therefore, some people in later generations also said that when the Wei army had not yet arrived in Chengdu, Jiang Wei's army was still quite powerful, enough to survive in one battle! However, Yu Zhou took the lead in standing up and urging the Later Lord to surrender to Wei, but was actually the first person to destroy the Shu and the Han Dynasty. Later, Han Gaozu's half-brother Liu Jiao, the 22nd grandson of Liu Jiao, the King of Chu, swept through the clouds and killed the King of Shu and the Sima clan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was really a cycle of heavenly fortune, and the retribution was not happy!
Dare to call out the emperor's nickname, always can't help but plunder, "war addiction" but repeatedly resist the emperor's orders of the world's famous generals!
