Guoxue idiom story (53) Thief hates the master: the worries of a "high-ranking" wife

Traditional Chinese idioms, condensing the essence of history; winding paths, meet a different "China".

There is a saying specifically aimed at female compatriots: long hair, short sight.

For modern women, this is definitely a disrespectful word, especially for the "women", who may have been beaten to the ground to find teeth. But in ancient times, women had almost no right to education, and they did not go out much, and it was reasonable to be shallow.

This is reflected even in Chinese characters. For example, "woman", the traditional character is "婦". "Speaking of Texts and Interpretations": 婦, serve also. Sprinkle sweeps from the female broomstick also. This is probably also the origin of "female protagonist".

But there are always exceptions to everything. Throughout the ages, even in the era when women were oppressed and bound by feudal etiquette, there were women who appeared from time to time and shined, not to mention the Empress Dowager Mi Yue and Zetian Emperor Who crushed the men, and the "housewives" recorded in the "Biography of the Women of the Column", whose human feelings, insight into the world and spiritual realm, Rao is today, but also makes many men with eyebrows look out of reach.

(Part 1) The wisdom and apprehension of a wife

In the previous issues of the Guoxue idiom story "Whip Long Beyond Reach", it was mentioned that there was an important adviser in the Jin State- Dafu Bozong.

Bozong's hometown was the Song Dynasty. His grandfather was Gongzi Ao, the younger brother of Duke Xiang of Song. After Gongzi Sui sent an envoy to the Jin state to complete the task, he stayed in the Jin state, and then married and had children, and the son changed his surname to Bo.

Doctor Bozong is very talented, but he is outspoken and fast-talking, can speak eloquently, and is domineering.

His wife was worried, and every time He left home to work, he told him, "Thieves hate their masters (thieves hate masters, metaphors for evil people who instinctively hate good people." The people hate to govern them. In a society, there are people who like good people, and there must also be people who hate and envy good people. If you like to be outspoken, you will definitely offend the bad guys, and be careful that disasters fall on you. ”

But Bozong was a very conceited person, and he also liked the wonderful feeling of talking in the court and the admiration of everyone, especially over the years, many of his opinions and suggestions were adopted by the monarch, and the effect was excellent, so he could not listen to his wife's words.

Once, Bozong came home from work, full of spring breeze.

Wife: "Seeing the joy on your face, why?" ”

Bozong: "Today I spoke in the court, and the doctors said that I was very knowledgeable like Yang's father." ”

Bozong originally thought that his wife must be happy for him, but his wife said with a worried face: "I heard that the grain of long rice is not beautiful, and the famous words do not need to be embellished." What is there to be happy about the fact that this man is flashy, good at words but has no strategy, so he has been killed? ”

When Bozong heard this, he felt that his wife's words were not unreasonable, so he said, "I want to invite the doctors to come to our house for a drink, and you hide aside to listen to our conversation." The wife agreed.

We know that people are prone to true disposition in a relaxed environment, so Bozong's move is still very clever.

At this banquet, the doctors came as promised, and talked about the wine happily and loudly. Bozong's wife hid aside, listening carefully to the words and deeds of every doctor during the banquet.

After the banquet, the crowd bid farewell and went home. Bozong's wife flashed out, and she said, "The doctors are indeed inferior to you." But in today's society, people have not liked the upper class for a long time. If something happens, disaster will surely come to you. I have advised you many times to be leisurely, but your temper is difficult to change, and I will not force you. But our country is on the brink of instability, and danger is at hand. We don't have that much money and connections, you should make friends with a few doctors with good character and talent, and can protect our son Bozhou Plough at a critical moment. ”

Bozong was also a wise man, and what the country really looked like, he did not have a number in his heart, so he heeded his wife's advice and began to consciously make friends with a sage named Bi Yang.

In 567 BC, the storm that should have come again came.

In this year, the descendants of Hao Que (see the idiom story "Respect as a Guest") and the descendants of Hao Que (郤郤, 郤犨), jointly made false accusations to Jin Ligong and killed Bozong. Bozong's son Bozhou Plough fled to the Chu state with the help of Bi Yang and survived.

So, men, if you have a wife with high emotional intelligence, you must cherish it and obey it well.

(Part 2) Yang Chu Father and San Hao

The following is a mention of the supporting characters of this article - Yang Chu Father and San Hao.

Yang's father was the Doctor of the Jin Dynasty, who was good-looking and well-behaved, but was killed in 621 BC for offending people.

In fact, before he was killed, someone predicted his end, and the prophet was a restaurant owner who met him in Pingshui.

The "Chinese" records that one day in 622 BC, Yang's father sent an envoy to defend the country, and on the way back to China, he stayed at Ning Ying's hotel. Ning Yinshi was very excited when she saw Yang's father, and said to her wife, "I have been seeking a gentleman for a long time, and today I finally met one." ”

Ning Ying decided to follow Yang's father in a career. Some people actually gave up their homes to follow themselves, yang father was of course very excited, along the way, the two walked and talked, but when they walked to Wenshan, Ning Ying said goodbye to Yang's father and returned home.

When his wife saw him go and return, she scolded and said, "Why are you so homesick?" ”

Ning Wei said, "You misunderstood. At first I wanted to go with him as soon as I saw his face, but after listening to him, I felt that something was wrong. Through the conversation, I found that although Yoko was dignified in appearance, she lacked language, and she had a straight personality and liked to offend others, so she would inevitably accumulate resentment and revenge. I therefore fear that following him will not only be of no benefit, but will bring disaster. ”

I have to say that this innkeeper is very discerning. A year later, Yang's father was killed by Jia Ji's men.

Because, when Yang's father had suggested to Jin Xianggong that Zhao Dun instead of Jia Ji be the commander of the Chinese army, when Jia Ji expressed confusion, Jin Xianggong actually leaked that it was Yang Xianggong's father who made him do this.

Jin Xianggong is also too fucking unrighteous.

Let's talk about the three hao.

The Sanhao Group was the most "cattle breaking" family in the Jin Dynasty after the Zhao family. At its most brilliant, the three secretaries were all ranked as qing doctors, and the four armies (upper army, middle army, lower army, and new army) eight secretaries occupied the third, and there was no difference in the limelight for a while.

Moreover, the Sanhao family is very united and speaks from one voice to the outside world.

However, the so-called "officials commit self-rape," and there are very few people who hold high positions of power and power without much restraint, and who really keep a low profile everywhere and at all times.

The "Zuo Biography" records that Hao Hao took a fancy to the land of Yiyang Wu, the favorite minister of Jin Li, and asked for it to be directly robbed, so he formed a grudge with Yiyang Wu.

He competed with a man named Changyu Jiao for land, and not only imprisoned Changyu Jiao, but also tied his parents and wife to the same car to parade on the street. The problem is that Changyu Jiao later became Li Gong's favorite subject.

Nor is it a fuel-efficient lamp. Once, when Hao Zhi went out hunting with Li Gong and shot a wild boar, Li Gong's subordinate Meng Zhang, a castrated man, took the lead and picked up the wild boar to offer to Li Gong for favor. Furious, Hao Shot Meng Zhang to death with an arrow. Beating the dog still depends on the owner, Jin Li said angrily, "Hao Zhi deceived me." ”

The most terrible thing is that San Hao also offended the wrong person, Luan Shu. Luan Shu has been a ruling minister since the time of the Jin JingGong, with outstanding talents and outstanding military achievements, but at the same time he is a very sinister and cunning person, who can do whatever it takes to power.

Earlier, Jin and Chu were at war, and Luan Shu did not listen to Luan Shu's command and insisted on fighting the Chu state, and defeated the Chu state, so Luan Shu resented Hao Zhi.

Therefore, Luan Shu began to design a design to frame Sanhao. In addition, Sanhao had previously been flying in China, and when he went abroad, he also had an arrogant attitude and did not have a good manner, so many people believed that the demise of Sanhao was a matter of time sooner or later.

In particular, they framed and killed Bozong, which was even more indignant. After all, although Bozong was straightforward and quick-talking, he was a very good person who was dedicated to serving the country and the people.

Han Xianzi said, "A good person is the Gangji of Heaven and Earth. Hao Shi suddenly killed a good person, can he not be punished? ”

Of course, the final decision was Jin Ligong, because he was the boss of Jinguo. The three princes were highly powerful and powerful, and their family power was huge, which had threatened the monarchy, which was intolerable to the Jin Ligong. Responsible for the hands-on are Long Fish Correction and others.

Appreciation of Sinology Classics:

The wife of Emperor Bozong of Jin. Bo Zongxian, and it is good to bully people with direct arguments. In every dynasty, his wife often abstained: "Thieves hate their masters, and the people love them." Whoever loves others will have those who hate them. The Master speaks bluntly, and those who do evil will bring misfortune to the body. ”

Bozong did not listen, and returned with joy. His wife said: "The son has a happy appearance, why not?" Bo Zong said, "I said that in the dynasty, all the doctors said that I knew that I was like Yangzi." The wife said: "The real valley is not hua, the words are not embellished, the present YangZi is flashy and unrealistic, the words are not plotted, it is a disaster and his body, the son He Xiyan!" ”
