In ancient Chinese history, there were many brotherly feelings that could be sung and wept, such as guan Bao's friendship, Boya and Zhong Zi period, and the Taoyuan Sanjieyi of Liu Guanzhang's three people at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The brotherhood introduced to you by the editor today is even worse than the previous story, and even with a bit of desolation and tragedy. What the hell is going on? Listen to the editor to give you a slow talk.
The king of Chu respected Confucianism and solemnly, recruited talents and scholars, and the people of the world listened to the wind and returned. In the West Qiang Jishi Mountain, there is a sage named Zuo Botao, whose parents died since childhood, read poems and books hard, cultivated the talents of the world, and learned the cause of the people. At that time, he was nearly forty years old, because the princes of the Central Plains attacked each other, bullied and bullied, and there were few benevolent rulers, so he never came out. Later, after hearing about the deeds of the King of Chu, he planned to travel from the State of Yan to the State of Chu and defect to the King of Chu to show his talents.
It was a harsh winter, it was freezing cold, zuo Botao walked against the cold wind for a day, and his clothes were wet. Seeing that it was getting late, there was a hut in the bamboo forest in the distance, and there was a little light in the house, and Zuo Botao went forward to knock on the door to ask for accommodation. I saw a bookish man coming out of the house, about forty years old. After learning of Zuo Botao's intentions, the scholar invited Zuo Botao into the house. Through the conversation, I learned that this student's name was Sheep Horn Lament, and his parents had died twice, and he was full of poetry books. A heart to serve the country, but there is nowhere to show. Zuo Botao was overjoyed, and the same encounter made the two of them hate each other late, and they worshiped as brothers on the spot.
Under the persuasion of Zuo Botao, Yang Jiao'ai decided to go with him to the Chu kingdom to join the King of Chu. The two men took the dry food, abandoned the hut, and ran all the way south. After walking for two days, they encountered rain again, and the two detained the inn and exhausted their entanglements. At that time, the two only had a bag of dry food left, and they took turns carrying it. While passing through Liangshan, they met a woodcutter who asked him about the way to the Chu kingdom. The woodcutter told them: "From now on, there will be no one in the hundred miles, there will be no people, there will be barren mountains and wildernesses, and there will be a herd of wolves and tigers, so it is best not to go." Zuo Botao asked what The Horned Sorrow thought, and the Sheep Horn Lament said, "Since we have all come here, we can only move forward and cannot retreat." ”
Then it snowed heavily, and the grain was about to bottom out. Zuo Botao thought to himself, "There is no one in this square area, and there is a lack of clothing and food." If one goes to the Chu kingdom, it may still work. But if two people are together, I am afraid that they will die on the road. So he began a hunger strike, giving all the grain he had saved to the sheep's horns. When he was about to freeze to death, he told the sheep to mourn: "After I die, you will take off my clothes and put them on." The horns wept bitterly and said, "How can this work?" Although you and I were not born to the same parents, but we have long been in love with brothers, how can I do such a thing?" Zuo Botao said, "You listen to me, my talent is not as good as yours, only by doing so can you go to the Chu Kingdom alive, which is also my ultimate wish." If we both die, who will bury the bones?"
Yang Jiao listened to Zuo Botao's opinion, and after Zuo Botao's death, he painfully stripped off his clothes and buried him in Liangshan. And when he arrived in the Chu Kingdom, he was indeed used by the King of Chu with his outstanding talent. One day, the sheep's horn was suddenly dreamed by Zuo Bo Taotuo. In the dream, Zuo Botao hoped that the sheep's horn would mourn to move the grave for him. The horns asked, "Why is this?" Zuo Botao said helplessly, "The place where you buried me is buried nearby with Jing Ke, who failed to assassinate the King of Qin." He was extremely powerful, and every day he used his sword to scold me, saying that I was a person who froze to death, how dare he build a grave on his shoulder? Rob him of feng shui? If he didn't move the grave, he would throw my bones out of the wilderness. ”
After hearing this, the sheep horn was furious and went to Jingke's cemetery, intending to dig Jingke's grave and destroy the temple. It turned out to be stopped by locals. In order to help Zuo Botao, Yang Jiaolai asked the King of Chu to resign, and then came to Zuo Botao's tomb with soldiers and horses, made three tong puppets to commit suicide in front of Zuo Botao's tomb, and sacrificed his life to help him. It was the second night, the wind and rain were great, the thunder and lightning were mixed, and the shouts of killing were heard for tens of miles. The next day, the local people looked at the tomb of Jingke, and the shock was fierce, and the white bones were scattered in front of the tomb.
