Yang Xiu, after the "Fourth Dynasty and Three Dukes", hongnong Yang's concubine, the master of Cao Cao's chancellor's mansion, was second only to Cao Zhi's second generation of talents. Once, Cao Cao passed by the Cao'e Monument and saw that the stele was engraved with the words "Yellow Silk Young Woman, Grandson And Mortar", and he pondered several times and wondered what it meant. He asked Yang Xiu, who was accompanying him, whether he understood, and Yang Xiu did not say anything bluntly.
Cao Cao was depressed, and ordered Yang Xiu not to say the answer, waiting until he wanted to understand it before agreeing on his thoughts. Cao Cao silently recited "Yellow Silk Young Woman, Grandson Yi Usu" while riding slowly forward. Until after walking thirty miles, it suddenly dawned on Yang Xiu to write the answer on the brocade, and then the two of them faced the brocade, and the answer was surprisingly consistent:
Yellow silk, silk is colored, so it is "absolute"; young women, young women, so "wonderful"; grandson, the son of the daughter, that is, the son of the daughter, so it is "good"; 齑, a kind of hard pestle rice activity, so the hard work is united as "resignation"; together, "yellow silk young woman, grandson", is the meaning of "wonderful good word".
Cao Cao laughed after looking at it, and jokingly said that Yang Xiucai had grown himself thirty miles, so he thought that he was a confidant, and everything big and small in the Xiang Mansion was discussed with Yang Xiu. History:
At that time, the military and the country were troubled, and the general manager of the cultivation knew both the outside and the inside, and everything was satisfactory. Since the Prince of Wei has descended, and fought for friendship.
The major affairs of the military state were handled by the master Yang Xiu to assist Cao Cao, and Yang Xiu coordinated all parties and handled things in a style that made Cao Cao very satisfied. Since The Wei emperor Cao Pi was below, the wei monarchs and courtiers had all competed to make friends with Yang Xiu, and this was where Yang Xiu's talent and cleverness lay.
However, Yang Xiu's wisdom and lack of wisdom have embarrassed Cao Cao in public many times: someone sent Cao Cao a box of puff pastries, Yang Xiu picked it up in public and ate it, and the guests were all panicked. Yang Xiu smiled: "Cao Gong inscription, one person has one bite of crisp, why don't you eat it?"?
Also during the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei divided his troops to set up the mountain, and Xiahou Yuan was killed by Huang Zhong. The Hanshui grain road was attacked by Zhao Yun again, and Cao Cao had both the intention of retreating and the reluctance to retreat. Just when a soldier came to ask for a password, the distraught Cao Cao casually replied with a "chicken rib".
Yang Xiu learned that tonight's password was "chicken ribs", and when he returned, he began to pack his luggage on the return journey, and the other soldiers asked why. Yang Xiu smiled: "Chicken ribs chicken ribs, food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it!" The King of Wei felt that Hanzhong was like a chicken rib, and there was no need to fight anymore." Sure enough, soon after Cao Cao issued an order to withdraw his troops, Liu Bei was in the land of Hanzhong, just as Yang Xiu expected.
Yang Xiu's overly cleverness, like a double-edged sword, stabbed cao Cao in the heart. When the initial love faded, the confrontation between the Hongnong Yang clan and the Cao Wei regime made Cao Cao turn from trust to jealousy of Yang Xiu.
Cao Cao reused the sons of Hanmen, but the Hongnong Yang clan was the fourth and third dukes; Yang Biao gave up his order to follow Emperor Xian of Han, and Cao Cao only wanted to serve the Son of Heaven to please him; Cao Cao first saw Yang Biao and was imprisoned for his loyalty to Han, and ordered Man Yu to repeatedly collect evidence of guilt, and finally had no choice but to release Yang Biao because of innocence.
Coupled with the fact that Yang Xiu, as a close vassal of the King of Wei, was involved in the dispute between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, Cao Cao eventually killed his former confidant Yang Xiu. The charges are as follows:
Taizu was worried about the change from beginning to end, and Yang Xiu was quite talented, but also the nephew of the Yuan clan, so he accused Him of sin.
"Quite talented", many astute reactions impressed Cao Cao, and coordinated the affairs of the XiangFu to make Cao Cao jealous; "the nephew of Yuan Shi", the son of Yuan Shu's sister, the nephew of the former warlord Yuan Shu; the "Change of the End" participated in the dispute between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi Shizi, and his father Yang Biao was the leader of the remnants of the Han Dynasty, standing opposite the Cao Wei clique.
Therefore, several crimes were punished at the same time, and Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu. But looking back, although Yang Xiu had the shortcomings of being too clever, did he really deserve to be punished according to his sins? In fact, no, if you have talent, you should die, then Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia are all right, because their talents belong to Cao Cao's group; Yuan Shu's nephew should die, and the princes han sui, Kong Rong, and Wang Lang can all be submissive, not to mention a child who has not participated in any of the princes' division; it is a big taboo to participate in the battle of shizi, but Jia Xu and Sima Yi have not been killed!
Yang Xiu's behavior was only to annoy Cao Cao, but none of them touched the law itself, so Yang Xiu's death was Cao Cao's personal grudge against the public instrument, using the authority of the chancellor to eliminate the hidden dangers of the family. In the final analysis, the elderly Cao Cao's final blow to Yang Biao and other han old courtiers, and the warning to Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and other heirs to fight each other.
Therefore, soon after Yang Xiu's death, Cao Cao set up a banquet to invite his father Yang Biao. Looking at Yang Biao, who was losing weight, Cao Cao knowingly smiled and said, "Why is Yang Gong so emaciated?" Yang Biao no longer had the hardness to face Cao Cao in the past, but said bitterly: "I am ashamed of not having the foresight of Jin Ribao, and when I am old, I will have the sigh of the old cow licking calf!"!
Yang Xiu was killed without guilt, why was Yang Biao ashamed of Kim Il-seok? It's just that the Han Room is in decline, his son has died young, and Yang Biao no longer has the heart. Recalling the past, Dong Zhuo burned the city of Luoyang and moved west, and Yang Biao also fought for his life; Li Dai and Guo Feng robbed Tianzi and Hundred Officials, and Yang Biao also went alone into the rebel army to reprimand; that is, when Cao Cao moved the Han Emperor to Xuchang, Yang Biao did not submit to Cao Cao, and he did not bow his head when he was full of evidence of guilt.
However, at that time, Manchu could not collect evidence of the crime, and Kong Rong was able to unite with the soldiers to force Cao Cao to spare Yang Biao. The Great Han Dynasty had no strength, at least it still had face. But now that Yang Xiu said that death would die without any crime, Cao Cao could still smile and ask Yang Biao why he had lost weight. In the final analysis, Cao Cao was no longer the Prince of Wei, and the Great Han had already died in name only.
Therefore, behind the thousand-autumn allusion of the old cow licking calf, it is the elderly Yang Biao who is about to die, first the ideal of the Zhongxing Han Room is lost, and then the love son is killed, but he is asked by the enemy why he lost weight infinite heartache. It is also a Han flag falling in the Central Plains, and the historical background of Cao Cao's group is about to change dynasties.
The "Left Biography" says, "Playthings lose their minds, play people lose their morality." Looking at the depressed and rickety Yang Biao, a sense of guilt and boredom surged into Cao Cao's heart. He waved his hand, and Yang Biao, who had been the opponent of most of his life, left.
After that, Yang Biao closed the door and did not look at the decadence of the Han Room. They asked him to be the "Three Gongs" again, Cao Wei's "Three Gongs", but Yang Biao refused. He said that he had been the "Three Dukes" of the Han Dynasty, and he could no longer be the "Three Dukes" of the State of Wei.
Since then, Yang Biao no longer has it, the Han Room no longer exists, the struggle no longer exists, and the wind bone no longer exists! Power triumphed over integrity, force triumphed over morality, warrior triumphed over scripture, and usurpation triumphed over loyalty. The collapse of the entire Han Dynasty's classics value system is about to begin the change of GaoPingling, the usurpation of power by Sima Shi, and the rise of Wei and Jin Qing and metaphysics.
