Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State, famously said, "Those who do things with Israel are fading and love chi." "It is about the common problem of those who rely on beauty to win pleasure, that is, men's love decreases with the decay of women's beauty. The positioning of love lies in the "number of beautiful colors"; in the same way, the upper position of Dongfang Shuo relies on the side door left road such as shooting and joking, rather than the meritorious name of the university question used by the world or the battlefield fight, and the positioning of Dongfang Shuo by Emperor Wu of Han is an object of entertainment with himself, similar to "Hai You".
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty never treated Dongfang Shuo as an important vassal who could govern the country and the state, which was the source of the tragedy of Dongfang Shuo.
In Dongfang Shuo's heart, his expectations for himself were originally very high. Dongfang Shuo's original intention was to help the emperor "town the country and care for the people." He became a state minister like Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but reality made a big joke with him, the right way did not work, and even food and clothing became a problem, but through irregular words and deeds such as jokes and funny, he won the emperor's favor and favor, and based himself on the Wu Emperor Dynasty with "Hai You".
The harsh reality made Dongfang Shuo pack his grand ambitions and spend his days laughing and scolding around Emperor Wu of Han, seemingly living in a muddy state. At that time, someone said to Dongfang Shuo: "Everyone is crazy about Mr. Shuo." Dongfang Shuo replied, "Ancient people, who hid in the mountains, can escape the whole body in the palace now, so why should they be deep in the mountains and under the Artemisia?" ”
Subject to the positioning of Emperor Wu of Han, Dongfang Shuo was doomed to be unable to do as much as Sima Xiangru and the main father, or even as good as zhu Maichen, a woodcutter who cut firewood. Believing that he had the talent of Kuang Shi and the world, but not being recognized by the emperor, Dongfang Shuo had no choice but to make a mistake and mix it in the court with a ridiculous and absurd act. Dongfang Shuo's "great concealment in the dynasty" is really a helpless move.
In ordinary days, Dongfang Shuo is shown with jokes and funny, and it seems that there is no seriousness. But if you think he's just a nonsensical person who can't do things seriously, you're dead wrong.
The characteristics of Dongfang Shuo are: under normal circumstances, it seems to be unorthodox, but it will cost you your life.
Others dare not say that there is one person who especially believes in Dongfang Shuo's words, and this person is Dong Yan.
Speaking of Dong Yan, I have to mention a cattle man in the Han Empire during the Han Dynasty, which was a woman, the famous eldest princess Liu Yan. Liu Was the daughter of Emperor Wen of Han, the sister of Emperor Jing of Han, and the aunt of Emperor Wu of Han. In the era of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Yan was known as "Lord Dou", and her daughter Chen Ajiao was the first empress of Emperor Wu of Han, so Liu Yan was also the mother-in-law of Emperor Wu of Han.
Lord Dou has a prominent status, a special status, and a unique demeanor. In her fifties, she was old and heartbroken, and after the death of her husband Chen Wu, the marquis of Tangyi, the lord of Dou, who could not bear the loneliness, raised a small white face at home, which was the aforementioned Dong Yan.
Dong Yan was eighteen years old at the time, with a good face, gentle and lovely, and was deeply pleased by Lord Dou. Outside, the two are together, Dong Yan is both a driver and a bodyguard, and inside, he sleeps with the main family and shares the joy of the pillow.
Lord Dou was powerful and powerful, and she was not at all afraid that others would know about the affair with Dong Yan, and she also had the heart to help Dong Yan make a difference in politics, so Dong Yan became the most popular little white face in the imperial capital Chang'an. The rich sons of those rich and prestigious families in Chang'an rushed to make friends with Dong Yan, and also created a graceful name exclusive to Dong Yan: "Dong Jun".
Emperor Wu of Han also heard about his aunt's affair, and he himself was also lustful, and he was open to the matter of his aunt raising a little boy, which was indispensable. Emperor Wu of Han was also invited by his aunt to meet Dong Yan at the home of Lord Dou, and the guests and hosts ate wine and talked happily. During the banquet, Emperor Wu of Han affectionately called Dong Yan "the master." ”
This is also the origin of the idiom "master".
Emperor Wu of Han did not feel addicted to drinking once, and he also invited Dong Yan to the Xuanmu Hall of Weiyang Palace to drink. Lord Dou has already pushed Dong Yan into an Internet celebrity, and if Emperor Wu of Han is vigorously promoted, Dong Yan's future is really unlimited.
Unfortunately, Dong Yan met the Oriental Shuo who suddenly became serious, and his fate has since embarked on a backhand.
On the day when Emperor Wu of Han invited guests, Dongfang Shuo was on duty. Dongfang Shuo solemnly stood at the door of the Xuanshi Hall with a long halberd, and did not allow Dong Yan to enter. Dongfang Shuo solemnly told Emperor Wu of Han that Dong Yan had three deadly sins: first, he had committed adultery with the princess; second, he violated customs and customs and undermined the ethics of marriage; third, he fooled around with the emperor, let the emperor not do the right thing, and ruined the country. ”
Dongfang Shuo also said: "Xuan's room is the place where the former emperor handled major state affairs, how can people like Dong Yan be allowed to have fun here?" ”
Indeed, the Xuanmu Room was a very special place in the palace. It is located in the main room of the front hall of Weiyang Palace, which is the place where the emperor deals with major state affairs. At that time, Emperor Wen of Han once received Rusheng Jiayi in the Propaganda Room and inquired about ghosts and gods. The later Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin was not happy, and Li Da poet wrote a poem satirizing Emperor Wen of Han.
"Jia Sheng": "Xuanfu asked for a sage to visit the courtiers, and Jia Sheng was even more ruthless. Poor night half empty front seat, do not ask the heavens to ask the ghosts and gods. ”
The Xuanmu Hall was busy until the second half of the night, and it turned out that you were not asking about the sufferings of The Cangsheng Limin, but only caring about discussing ghosts and gods, which was too bad!
According to Dongfang Shuo's understanding, Emperor Wu of Han wanted to invite the courtier Dong Yan to drink in the Xuan room, which was simply an insult to the reputation of the main hall of the Xuan Room, absolutely not. Emperor Wudi of Han didn't care at first, but a meal of wine, where to drink it is so important. However, when Dongfang Shuo repeated the role and status of the Xuanfu, the wise Emperor Wu of Han immediately understood the meaning, and he decisively stopped the banquet with Dong Yan in the Xuanfu Room and changed it to the North Palace, and let Dong Yan enter the palace from the East Sima Gate.
Where to drink really had a big impact on Dong Yan's fate. From then on, Emperor Wu of Han was no longer interested in Dong Yan, and Dong Yan, who was snubbed, was depressed and unhappy, and finished playing before he was thirty years old.
Perhaps in front of Dong Yan's tombstone, Dongfang Shuohui, who came to mourn, said with a serious face: "I'm sorry brother, brother has no vendetta against you, everything is just for the prosperity and development of the empire, and you are just a useless little white face, and for a long time around the emperor, you will inevitably mislead the country and the people, and it is better to sacrifice early." ”
The Analects once said: "When a bird dies, its song will also mourn; when a man dies, his words will be good." Dongfang Shuo, who grew up drinking Confucian ink, knew this well, and before he died, he wrote to advise Emperor Wu of Han: "Shiyun 'camps green flies, stop at the flies. Gentlemen, no believers in rumors. Rumors are reckless and chaotic to the four countries. 'May Your Majesty be far away from the rumors. ”
This passage of Dongfang Shuo is very serious and serious, which does not match his usual witty and playful style. So much so that Emperor Wudi of Han was very suspicious after reading it: Is this what Dongfang Shuo said? Soon, the news of Dongfang Shuo's death came, and Emperor Wudi of Han finally understood Dongfang Shuo's good intentions.
In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was full of talents, Dongfang Shuo was not dazzling, and his official position was no more than one thousand stones, roughly equivalent to today's prefectural and municipal cadres. Dongfang Shuo was able to write articles, but his popularity was far inferior to that of Sima Xiang and Sima Qian. Dongfang Shuo also knew a little martial arts, but he had never been on the battlefield, nor had he ever done the work of an emissary to inspect the place or send an envoy to a foreign country.
No matter what others say, Dongfang Shuo always has full confidence and self-esteem. Dongfang Shuo was full of ambitions to serve the country, but the rationalization suggestion of the upper letter was not adopted by Emperor Wu of Han, which was very embarrassing. Emperor Wu of han only characterized Dongfang Shuo as "haiyou", a companion of amateur play and entertainment, and did not think that he had the talent of the world.
The reason why Dongfang Shuo is famous in history is that he is a character with distinctive characteristics. In Mr. Sima Qian's "Records of History", Dongfang Shuo was condescendingly arranged to be included in the "Funny Column Biography", along with Chun Yujie, YouMeng and others, while in Mr. Ban Gu's "Book of Han", Dongfang Shuo was given the opportunity to appear alone. However, Mr. Bangu's praise also seems to have a general evaluation of Dongfang Shuo.
If Ji Dian was a benchmark figure who moved against the current during the Han WuDi emperor period, Dongfang Shuo was the opposite, taking the initiative to attack with the trend, changing when the time came, and was good at observing words and watching colors to meet and meet. However, Dongfang Shuo has his own considerations, has his own bottom line in doing things, and has the red line of being an official, and absolutely does not allow himself or others to cross the line. Preventing Dong Yan from entering the Weiyang Palace Propaganda Room to drink is the most brilliant part of Dongfang Shuo's life, and it is very worthy of our praise.
