Eating is eating, eating three meals a day, with the aim of being full. Once eating becomes a "bureau", hunger relief becomes secondary, and it is full of stories, purposes, and even conspiracies. There are many famous dinner parties in Chinese history, and some even rewrite history.
Banquet buy heart, get faithful??
As the saying goes, the wine gets thicker and thicker, and when it comes to using banquets to buy people's hearts, the most famous is a banquet organized by King Chu Zhuang in the Spring and Autumn Period.
At that time, King Zhuang of Chu had just quelled a riot and held a celebration meeting. Let his favorite concubine give a toast to the courtiers, and suddenly a gust of wind blew out the lamp, and a general drank too much wine and took advantage of the darkness to eat the "tofu" of Princess Chu. When Concubine Chu was ashamed and angry, she took off the cherry blossom on the top of the hat of this "lustful person" and offered it to King Chu Zhuang. When King Zhuang of Chu learned the truth, he ordered not to light the lamp, and all the ministers took off their hats and continued to drink, and did not track down the people who played with Chu Concubines. In order to repay the forgiveness of the King of Chu, this "lustful" general bravely made a great contribution in a later battle, and the King of Chu swore allegiance to his fierce generals because of his tolerance, which was known in history as the Absolute Cherry Blossom Society.??
Banquet killing, how many people died??
But banquets can also become places of murder, and people often refer to the banquets with conspiracies as hongmen banquets.
The Hongmen Banquet was the most famous killing banquet in history, and Xiang Yu's adviser Fan once wanted to use this banquet to kill Liu Bang and make Xiang Zhuang dance the sword. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo had already befriended Liu Bang privately and danced his sword to protect Liu Bang. Most importantly, Xiang Yu, who had a soft heart and a woman's benevolence, did not want to kill Liu Bang, so at this banquet, Liu Bang escaped to heaven. The Hongmen Feast had a motive to kill, but did not complete the mission of killing. Later, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu in the war, and without the benevolence of a woman, Xiang Yu was forced to commit suicide. ???
Compared with the luck of Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet, the banquet where Gongzi Guang invited Wu Wangfu to dinner during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period became a battlefield for killing people, and Wu Wangfu was not as lucky as Liu Bang, and Gongzi Guang was bound to win, bent on killing Wu Wangfu. He asked the fish intestine sword hidden in the fish's stomach in advance, took the opportunity of serving the dish to suddenly take out the fish hidden sword from the fish's stomach, and stabbed the king with one blow. This is the story of the special thorn king, and the Yuzang Sword has thus become a generation of famous swords. On the spot, Gongzi Guang successfully seized the throne, that is, King Wu Lulu.??
Qi Guoxiang Yan Baby is even more ruthless, he kills people without a knife, borrow two peaches from the banquet to kill the people he wants, and the ability to kill people with a knife is unparalleled in the world. Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi were the three warriors who guarded Qi Jinggong with the ability to fight fierce tigers, but at the same time they were also arrogant and arrogant to threaten the rule of the monarch. Yan Baby moved the killing machine and wanted to get rid of the "Three Jies", so at a banquet, a bureau was set up, and there were only two peaches on the plate, asking the monarch to order who had the greatest credit to eat the peaches. This "three masters" were indeed deceived, Gongsun took one first, Gu Yezi ate one, Tian Kaijiang had no peach to eat, felt that the merit was great, did not eat peach and was humiliated in public, swung the sword to commit suicide, Gongsun took tian Kaijiang to commit suicide, felt that his merit was small and ate peach, had no face to live in the world, and also committed suicide with a sword. Gu Yezi saw the two commit suicide, and felt that the three of them had married brothers and vowed to live and die together, and the two brothers died because of the peach, and they could not live, so they also committed suicide. This is the story of the two peach killing three soldiers.??
Banquet strategy, clever tricks??
Many banquets are actually dinners where clever strategies are made into big things. There are many such banquets in the Three Kingdoms. For example, Cao Cao set up a meal bureau, Qingmei boiled wine on heroes, in fact, Cao Cao doubted Liu Bei and examined Liu Bei. Liu Bei was very successful in pretending to be stupid at this banquet, and finally Cao Cao broke him, and Liu Bei also concealed Cao Cao with fear of thunder. Cao Cao's great talent was that Liu Bei borrowed 50,000 soldiers to fight Yuan Shu, not only ran away, but also deceived 50,000 soldiers and killed one of Cao Cao's generals.??
Another banquet was a dinner party set up by Lü Bu, who invited Liu Bei's three brothers and Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling to a banquet in order to relieve the two sides of the sword and soldier encounter. However, Ji Ling did not agree to settle the dispute peacefully with Liu Bei, so Lü Bu said that peace and war all depended on "Providence", and this so-called "Providence" was that he shot a small branch of Fang Tianhua a hundred and fifty steps away, shooting at the two sides to strike peace, and unable to shoot the two sides to start a war. Lü Bu's strategy is that he knows in his heart that Providence is human will. Definitely a shot. The reason why Ji Ling agreed to this suggestion was that he did not know that Lü Bu had such a high shooting skill. As a result, Lü Bu shot as scheduled, and the story of the Yuanmen shooting has been passed down to this day.??
The most famous strategic banquet was the "Heroes' Meeting" on the eve of the Three Kingdoms Chibi War, where Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan to persuade his old classmate Zhou Yu to surrender, and Zhou Yu had already seen Jiang Gan's thoughts, pretended to be drunk, and let Jiang Gan steal false information. Cao Cao, based on false information stolen by Jiang Gan, mistakenly killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the governors of the water army. This laid the foundation for the victory of Chibi vs. Zhou Yu.??
Banquet seizure of power, a cup of nothing??
Using a banquet to take back the military power without moving a knife and a gun is the most intelligent and wise thing done by Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the history books name it "Cup of Wine to Release military power".
Zhao Kuangyin was a Jiangshan that was won by the Chen Qiao Mutiny, and he was afraid that other generals would seize power like him, and he was worried every day, so he set up a dinner table, invited the founding fathers to a banquet, and asked him to say what he really thought in his heart. The founding fathers were very frightened when they heard the emperor's thoughts, and they were afraid of being killed, so they all resigned the next day and voluntarily surrendered their military power. Zhao Kuangyin did not embarrass them, rewarded them with a lot of money, and also formed a family with many of them, peacefully solving the problem of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals.
Compared with Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang were not so clever, and these two emperors had to kill the founding heroes and remove the threat of the founding fathers to the imperial court. In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had almost killed all the founding heroes, and by the time of Zhu Dijing's Battle of Jing, Emperor Jianwen had no generals to send, which may also be what Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect. The legendary "Burning Qinggong Building" is a banquet that is completely opposite to Zhao Kuangyin's "cup of wine to release the military power", but this matter is only a legend, and there is no such thing in history.??
Banquet drums, rivers and mountains strong??

And a large number of Han people "dressed in crowns and crossed the south", at the banquet of the New Pavilion, everyone lamented that the world was unpredictable, "the scenery is not different, and there are rivers and rivers in sight", only the famous scholar Wang Dao stepped forward and said, "When the royal family is jointly fighting and overcoming the divine state, how can he be a Chu prisoner relatively weeping evil." Wang Dao's words inspired everyone, and everyone worked together with one heart, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was established after this banquet. And Wang Dao was called "Jiang Zuo's own guan Yiwu" by posterity.??
