Crosstalk has always been a popular art form for the public. But who the grandfather of the cross-talk industry is, probably most people are not very clear. The orthodox grandfather of cross-talk should actually be the poor mr. Zhu Shaowen in the Qing Dynasty.
But the older generation always wanted to make their industry look historical, so they found a funny and humorous Oriental Shuo and recognized it as the grandfather. What kind of person is Dongfang Shuo, who will be recognized as the grandmaster by the cross-talk community?
Dongfang Shuo was born during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, and grew up reading the works of the Hundred Schools of Zhuzi, but only favored Confucian classics. When Emperor Wu of Han had just ascended the throne, he issued an edict to recruit sages from all over the world. Dongfang Shuo wrote a resume of three thousand pieces of bamboo jane to Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wudi of Han spent two months and his eyes looked at the flowers before he finally finished reading it.
Emperor Wu of Han was dizzy by Dongfang Shuo's resume and felt that Dongfang Shuo might be a talent. He ordered someone to summon Dongfang Shuo to the Bus Office and wait for the summons.
However, the bus order was not only low, but the emperor did not summon him for a long time. Dongfang Shuo felt that it was not a matter of going on like this. It just so happened that he saw a few dwarfs who were raising horses for the emperor, and he hit them with the idea.
He frightened a few dwarfs, saying that the emperor thought that you were useless, that it was impossible to govern the country and fight wars, so he wanted to kill you, and you were not quick to go and plead with the emperor. These dwarfs were immediately frightened, so they ran to Emperor Wu of Han to intercede.
Emperor Wudi of Han pondered and did not say this himself. He sent someone to bring Dongfang Shuo to interrogate him. When Dongfang Shuo saw Emperor Wu of Han, he said, "I can't do this either." Holy you see, the dwarf is three feet tall, I am nine feet, and we are the same. You can't hold them up, starve me. If the Saint does not want to use me, please let me go home, and I will no longer have to eat your food in vain. Emperor Wu of Han was immediately amused by Dongfang Shuo, so he promoted Dongfang Shuo's official position.
Later, Emperor Wu of Han and the Hundred Officials played a game of guessing. Emperor Wudi of Han put a gecko into a spittoon for everyone to guess. Dongfang Shuo said, "I have studied Zhou Yi and let me go. Then he said to himself, "I said it was a dragon, but it had no horns." I said it was a snake, but it had feet. This thing also climbs the wall, either lizards or geckos. ”
Emperor Wu of Han was immediately overjoyed, and let him continue to guess many other things, and all of them were correct, and he immediately gave a lot of things to Dongfang Shuo.
Guo Sheren, a servant in the palace, expressed his disobedience and wanted to go head-to-head with Dongfang Shuo. Whether it is guessing things or guessing riddles, there is no one who can overwhelm Dongfang Shuo. Since then, Dongfang Shuo has been appreciated and valued by Emperor Wu of Han.
Later, Emperor Wudi of han thought that the hunting road was too far, so he wanted to build a zoo to facilitate hunting. It just so happened that Dongfang Shuo was on the side, and he was quoted from emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in various ways, borrowing from the past to satirize the present. It is implied that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a large number of civil engineering projects, labored the people and hurt their wealth, and it was not advisable. Emperor Wu of Han was convinced by Dongfang Shuo and was promoted to the rank of Dongfang Shuo.
However, the most exaggerated thing is that once Dongfang Shuo was drunk, peed in the palace hall, and was impeached by the officials. And Emperor Wu of Han only reduced Dongfang Shuo to a shuren, but he still stayed around to listen.
Later, Emperor Wu of Han's nephew killed someone and was executed. Emperor Wudi of Han felt sorry for his sister and was very annoyed. Dongfang Shuo was on the side, wishing Emperor Wu of Han a happy birthday. Emperor Wu of Han felt that he was ill, so he asked him to leave first. In the evening, he came back and asked him why he wished him a happy birthday.
Dongfang Shuo started with the five elements of yin and yang, and then had a nonsense with Emperor Wu of Han. He said that sadness will reduce life expectancy, and wine will dispel sorrow. Celebrating your birthday with wine will show Your Majesty's integrity and dispel your sorrows. Emperor Wu of Han was very happy after listening to it, so he reinstated the Eastern Shuo official.
However, Dongfang Shuo, who had been playing with Emperor Wu of Han all his life, rarely had a serious time before dying. He advised Emperor Wu of Han to stay away from villains and not to listen to rumors, so that the country could be at peace. Emperor Wudi of Han was very surprised to hear this, and asked Dongfang Shuo why he was so serious today. Soon after, Dongfang Shuo died of illness.
Although Dongfang Shuo did not trim his edges all his life, he often talked nonsense with the emperor and made the emperor happy. But through this ingenious method, he advised Emperor Wu of Han. In his heart, he is truly concerned about the safety of the country and hopes that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. It is no wonder that the cross-talk community will look for Dongfang Shuo as a grandfather.
