"I will not kill BoRen, Boren died because of me", where is the source of this sentence?
Zhou Yan (yǐ), courtesy name Boren, was the son of Zhou Jun, the Marquis of Chengwu, a general of the Western Jin Dynasty. His deeds are recorded in both the Book of Jin and the New Language of the World.
When he was a teenager, Zhou Yan was known for his good character and elegance. In the year of the weak crown, he inherited his father's title, and served as the chief historian under Sima Yue's son Sima Bi, the king of the Eastern Seas, and after Sima Rui crossed the river, he summoned Zhou Yan to be a military advisory, and was made a general of Ningyuan and the assassin of Jingzhou.
In the fifth year of the Western Jin Dynasty (311), Du Han of the Shu Dynasty led the bandits to rebel in Xiangzhou, and the war burned to Jingzhou, and Zhou Yan struggled to cope with the battle, and was taken under his command by Wang Dun, who was then a soldier of Tun Andu Zhang. Later, Sima Rui summoned Zhou Yan back to Jiankang and made him the general of Yang Wei, the assassin of Yanzhou, and even the official Shangshu of the official department. In the first year of Daxing (318), the imperial court issued two edicts, making Zhou Yan the Prince Ofshaofu, and later promoted to Shangshu Zuo Servant.
At that time, Wang Dun's ambitions rapidly swelled with the increase of power and prestige. In the first year of Yongchang of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (322), Wang Dun finally rebelled and sent troops to Jiankang, and the imperial army was defeated and retreated, and morale was low. Wang Dun rebelled, Tianzi was furious, and even some ministers proposed to purge the Wang clan, and Wang Dao and the Wang clan were worried about being implicated and panicked.
Wang Dao once begged Zhou Yan to help him exonerate him in front of the emperor, and Zhou Yan always thought that the sin was not as good as his relatives, in fact, he had this intention, but in front of Wang Dao, he behaved unashamedly and did not promise him anything. Therefore, Wang Dao held a grudge in his heart, and thus sowed the seeds of future disasters.
Wang Duntun soldiers stone city, close to the imperial city, the tiger is eyeing. Sima Rui sent Zhou Yan to Wang Dun's army to convey the emperor's dissatisfaction and anger. Wang Dun saw Zhou Yan and questioned him, "I once took you in, and now you come here as an emissary, which is a betrayal of me!" ”
Zhou Yan was not afraid of Wang Dun's coercion, and said, "You rebelled against orthodoxy and raised unrighteous soldiers, I am loyal to the imperial court and command the sixth army, but I have been defeated, and I have indeed lost to the world!" Wang Dun didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After Wang Dun's rebels conquered Jiankang, he asked Wang Dao whether Zhou Yan could be killed, and Wang Dao remembered the previous festival and did not make a sound, so Zhou Yan was arrested. After his arrest, Zhou Yan still scolded Wang Dun as a traitor and was stabbed to death by the chaos. After his death, Wang Daocai discovered Zhou Yan's original intercession for the Wang family while sorting out the palace archives.
Wang Dao couldn't help but feel remorseful, tears welling up, and said to his sons, "Although I did not kill Bo Ren, Bo Ren died because of me." In the underworld, this good friend! Since then, Wang Dao's self-reproach has become an allusion.
Wang Dao misunderstood Bo Ren without knowing the truth, and because of his narrow-mindedness, Bo Ren was killed, and he also lost a true friend himself. This story tells us to be a person with a big heart, not to be calculating, small belly, and nothing can only look at the surface, but to trust your friends.
In our daily life, the interaction between people and people will inevitably produce contradictions. If these disputes and contradictions cannot be resolved in a timely manner, it will definitely affect harmony and unity. There are many ways to resolve contradictions, and the focus is on pushing the heart and the words. Although modern society advocates doing good deeds without leaving a name, on the basis of existing contradictions, even if good efforts are not communicated, it is inevitable that misunderstandings will deepen and good things will be done badly.
