"The green mountains are still there, a few degrees of sunset red" This is the opening song of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is also a word at the beginning of the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the author was originally a famous courtier of the Ming Dynasty, because he was accustomed to the disputes in the court, he lived in seclusion in the rivers and lakes and lived a life of "how many things in ancient and modern times are laughed at".
History is the most imposing poem in human civilization, but also the most elusive thing in human civilization, there is a poem written well", "Zhou Gong fears rumors day, Wang Mang is humble and unused" Do not say that after a thousand years, even at that time, many people's merits and deeds, loyalty and foolishness, are difficult to distinguish, some people are obviously traitors but most people are regarded as loyal subjects, some people are obviously loyal ministers, but many people are regarded as traitors.
So, who is the biggest traitor in Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Some people may say that it is Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not usurp the world of the Han Dynasty from beginning to end, and some people may say that sima Yi, but Sima Yi usurped from a family that usurped other people's worlds, and then what is the theory of loyalty and treachery? In fact, the famous heroes of the world at that time did what they did, all of which were forced by the times, and they could not be loyal to their subjects or traitors.
In fact, the real traitor in the Three Kingdoms is the most hidden, and even many people can hardly imagine that he will be a traitor, because he was blown into the sky by Luo Guanzhong in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and this person is Dong Cheng. Luo Guanzhong wrote a poem in the book praising Dong Cheng: "The secret edict is passed on to the cloth belt, and the heavenly words are out of the forbidden door." I was saved that year, and I am even more grateful on this day. Worried about the country into a heart disease, except for adultery into the soul of the dream. Loyalty is eternal, and success or failure is a matter of who is to blame. "The biggest reason why Dong Cheng became a hero is because he participated in and led the Yidaizhao incident. So can this matter really explain Dong Cheng's loyalty?
Dong Cheng was born very noble, he was the nephew of Empress Dong, the mother of the Han Ling Emperor, and could be regarded as a nobleman. Not only that, he is also the part of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, and I don't know if there is any blood relationship between Dong Zhuo's "Dong" and Dong Cheng's "Dong"? But in any case, he was from a noble family and had his own parts, so why didn't he stand up and turn the tide of the tide when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil? From this point of view, at least Dong Cheng's loyalty is not so high.
And the fact that Dong Chengfa was dressed with a commandment could not prove his loyalty even more. In fact, because there is no record in history that Emperor Xian of Han issued a fictitious "edict of clothing" to Dong Cheng, it is very likely that this was simply made up by Dong Cheng himself. At that time, Emperor Xian of Han himself had no power and no soldiers, and after killing Cao Cao, would he be able to make a decision? He was afraid that he would be controlled by the next Cao Cao, because when Cao Cao rescued Emperor Xian of Han, he was also a loyal and patriotic loyal subject.
If the edict is true, is Dong Cheng a hero? The answer is still no, at that time, Emperor Xian of Han was controlled by Cao Cao's forces inside and out, even if the edict was really implemented and killed Cao Cao, it is estimated that Emperor Xian of Han would also be abducted by Cao Cao's subordinates, and once again flee to live or fall back into the hands of another Cao Cao.
In fact, this is not the most tragic, if Cao Cao was not killed, but the clothes belt was discovered by Cao Cao, then it is very likely that the enraged Cao Cao will exert his anger on Emperor Xian of Han, or even directly kill Emperor Xian of Han and seize power and ascend the throne. The ancients, "the lord insulted the subject to death", Dong Cheng did not consider the consequences of the edict at all, nor did he think about the cost of dealing with such consequences, as a courtier, he was brainless, self-righteous, and also brought his own king into danger.
And what Dong Cheng said when he took the so-called cloth belt edict to lobby others completely exposed his nature as a traitor. In order to gain strength, he encouraged the general Prince Fu to say, "Guo Feng once defeated Tens of thousands of Li Dai with hundreds of troops, so it depends on whether you and I are in the same heart!" Lü Buwei became rich after having a son Chu, and now I can do this with you. It turned out that his ultimate target was Lü Buwei, and Emperor Xiandi of Han was also like the gongzi yiren in Lü Buwei's eyes in his eyes, just "strange goods can be lived".
In the end, Dong Chengyi led the zhao to raise an army and failed, which harmed the three tribes, and even the daughter who was a noble concubine was killed by Cao Cao, and of course he himself could not avoid death. He died in his country and his family. Therefore, in history, his evaluation has not been high, for example, Wang Chuanshan, who is known as the Hegel of the East, criticized him: "Dong Cheng, who ends with chaos, has no certainty and is good at doing what he wants." "Such a person has been blown up by Luo Guanzhong as a great hero who is loyal and courageous, which is really regrettable!"
