Traditional Chinese idioms, condensing the essence of history; winding paths, meet a different "China".
The idiom 楃哉帑哉, from the Book of Poetry, describes the appearance of leisurely and self-sufficiency.
But in "Left Biography", its appearance is related to a killing, and this killing is related to a fainting woman.
(i) A disaster caused by a lonely woman
As I said more than once before, there are many "prophecies of God" in the Left Transmission. In addition, the Spring and Autumn "superpower" JinGuo had a bloody factor from the beginning of its founding, and a bloody massacre broke out every few years.
No, in 552 BC, a large-scale massacre was staged again, and this was only the prelude to the destruction of another giant of the Jin state, the Luan clan.
It is said that in that year, Luan Huanzi of the Jin Dynasty married Luan Qi, the daughter of Fan Xuanzi (范匄), and gave birth to Luan Huaizi.
The two giants are related to each other, which is originally a good thing, but it has gone wrong in the middle of the way and has become a bane.
Dating back to 559 BC, the State of Jin led the State of Zheng and other allies to attack the State of Qin. As a result, when stationed at the edge of the Jing River, the Qin people poured poison upstream (did they realize industrial poison manufacturing?). ), causing heavy casualties to the coalition forces.
At this time, the Jin army once again appeared the phenomenon of discord between the generals and marshals, and the commander of the Chinese army demanded that "the chickens roar and drive, plug the wells and destroy the stove, and only the remaining horses are the head of the show", and as a result, many people did not listen, and each army did its own thing, and the coalition army had to retreat.
At this time, Luan Jun of the Luan family said to Fan Martin: "We originally came to avenge the last battle of Oak, but now we have no success, which is a shame." ”
So the two led their men to rush into the Qin army camp for a fight, and finally Luan Jun was killed in battle, and Fan Martin luckily escaped back.
Luan's family stopped doing it, and said to Fan Zhao, this is all your son instigated Luan to do it, and as a result, Luan Gong died, but your son ran back alive, you don't let him get out of the egg, this matter is not over.
In order to survive, Fan Martin had to flee to the Qin State.
Although fan martingale later returned to the Jin dynasty, he hated the Luan family from then on, and the two major families became enemies from their own families.
After Luan Huanzi's death, his wife Luan Qi was not willing to be lonely and had an affair with the Grand Governor Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin took the opportunity to embezzle the Luan family's property and "killed several of his rooms".
Luan Qi, who was burned to death, was afraid that his son Luan Ying would retaliate against Zhou Bin, so he ran to his mother's house to report that the Luan family was plotting rebellion, and her younger brother Fan Martin was also helping.
A son and a daughter poured psychedelic soup, and Fan Xuanzi could not help but believe it, plus Luan Ying was kind and charitable, and the soldiers all attached themselves to him, lying next to the bed, and allowing others to sleep soundly, so Fan Xuanzi designed to expel Luan Ying.
Subsequently, Fan Xuanzi went on a killing spree, and only 10 people with names and surnames recorded in the "Zuo Biography" were arrested and imprisoned, and three other people, including Uncle Xianchen Xiang [Yang Tongue (xi)] were arrested and imprisoned.
(2) Fan Martin predicted the extinction of the Luan clan
As mentioned above, Fan Martin was affected by Luan Jun, and fled to the Qin State.
In history, there were Qin and Jin good, plus Fan Martin's family was a powerful family in the Jin Dynasty, and the Qin people not only did not embarrass him, but treated him like a guest.
One day, Fan Martin and Qin Jinggong were chatting, and Jinggong asked, "Who will perish first?" ”
Fan Martin said, "I'm afraid it's Luan." ”
"Is it because Yan Yan is too arrogant?"
"Yes. But Luan Yi was not yet defeated, and his son Luan Ying was afraid that he would not be able to escape. ”
Jing Gong was surprised. Fan Martin said: "This is because Luan Di's father Luan Wuzi's kindness is still among the people, just like the Zhou people remember zhao gong and protect his gantang tree." But these enders cannot be remembered forever, and one can forgive Luan for luan wuzi's sake, but sooner or later the sin will be blamed on his son. ”
After some words, Jing Gong was greatly appreciative and specially sent someone to the Jin State to request that Fan Martin return to China and reinstate the official.
Moreover, after Luan Ying was framed by her mother, she had to flee the country of Qi and was taken in by the Duke of Qizhuang.
Later, he "ambition" not to die, secretly returned to The country to rebel, and as a result, he was defeated and killed, and the Luan clan was exterminated.
The generation of giants of "seven generations of thimbles, incomparable prosperity" has disappeared.
(3) Lao Qi Xi tried to save the Sheep Sheshi
Immediately after the above, the famous Jin State Xianchen Uncle Xiang was arrested, and the Jin Dynasty and the opposition were shocked.
The inmate teased Shu Xiang and said, "Oh hey, how come a big person like you came in, isn't it smart enough?" ”
Shu Xiang smiled slightly and said, "I'm luckier than those who died and fled, right?" The Book of Poetry says, 'Youzai you're wandering, talking about the age of death', which is wisdom. ”
Here Uncle Xiang took captivity as a vacation, and there was really good news over there.
On this day, a man named Le WangYu came to see Shu Xiang and said that he would intercede with the monarch to spare them. Shu Xiang did not agree, Le Wang Yu resigned to leave, and Shu Xiang did not send him.
Everyone blamed Shu Xiang. Shu Xiang said, "There is someone who can save me, but it is not him, but it must be the old doctor Qi Xi." ”
The elder chamber (the head of the family) said very strangely: "Le Wang Is a red man around the monarch, and the monarch obeys him." It's strange that he offered to intercede for you, but you didn't agree. ”
Shu Xiang said, "Le Wang Que is the one who looks at the face of the monarch and speaks, so he can't do it." But Old Doctor Qi is different, he does not avoid revenge on the outside, does not lose his relatives on the inside, and will certainly not leave me alone. Let's wait for the good news. ”
Sure enough. Le Wang said that he wanted to save Shu Xiang, but when Jin Pinggong asked Shu Xiang if he was guilty, he resented Shu Xiang for being cold to him, so he fell into the well and said: "Shu Xiang should not abandon his relatives, he should be an accomplice." ”
Fortunately, in a critical moment, a savior came.
After hearing about it, The retired old doctor Qi Xi ordered his family to get on an express train and rush into the Jin capital And come directly to see Fan Xuanzi.
Fan Xuanzi heard that Qi Xi was visiting and hurried to welcome him out. Qi Xi was also not polite, and said straight to the point: "Sage, is the guardian of Sheji." We in Jinguo want to say that there are few plans and few mistakes, and we educate others tirelessly. He is the pillar of the nation, and even his ten generations of descendants should be forgiven for their mistakes, so as to encourage the talented to serve the country, let alone himself? Why did Shu Xiang have to be killed because of Shu Hu's involvement? What good is it for you to kill more people? ”
When Fan Xuanzi heard this, he nodded his head and drove into the palace with Qi Xi to meet Duke Jinping of Jin and ask for pardon for Shu Xiang.
Qi Xi went home without seeing Shu Xiang, and Shu Xiang did not thank Qi Xi for saving his life and went to see The Duke of Jinping.
Because the two people have a common heart, they are all for the sake of the country's grand plan, not for personal affection.
(4) A few digressions
These digressions involve three women of jinguo.
First, the old mother of Zhao Wu, an orphan of the Zhao clan, was resentful because she was unclear with her uncle Zhao Baoqi and even the expulsion of Zhao Infant Qi, and even falsely accused the Zhao clan of plotting to wipe out the Zhao family, fortunately Zhao Wu was very difficult not to die.
The second is Fan Xuanzi's daughter Luan Qi, after her husband's death, she was not clear with the family minister Zhou Bin, and in order to make the "dew marriage" last a long time, she actually falsely accused her son of rebellion, resulting in the destruction of her son and the entire family.
It's terrible that people go crazy!
The third is Shu Xiang's mother, a wise woman.
The reason why Shu Xiang's family almost destroyed the door this time was that Shu Xiang's half-brother Shu Hu and Luan Shi were very close and were on the blacklist.
At first, Shu Xiang's father married a beautiful woman, but Shu Xiang's mother would not let her have contact with her husband.
The sons all advised the mother not to do this, and the uncle sighed to the mother and said, "You have all misunderstood me, and regarded me as a jealous woman." Deep mountains and big mountains, real dragon snakes. This woman is so beautiful that I am afraid that she will give birth to a dragon and snake and harm you. Our family is about to decay, and since you have all advised me, I can't say anything. "So, there was Shuhu.
Shuhu inherited his mother's genes and grew into a beautiful man with "courage", and was favored by Luan Huaizi, so he was regarded as a party of the Luan clan, not only involving the entire family, but also being killed himself.
Appreciation of Sinology Classics:
Autumn, Luan Ying out of Ben Chu. Xuanzi killed Ji Yi, Huang Yuan, Jia Father, Si Kongjing, Feng Yu, Dong Shu, Feng Shi, Shen Shu, Yang Tongue Tiger, and Shu Yi. Prisoner Bohua, Shu Xiang, and Yuanyan.
...... So Qi Xi was old, smelled it, and rode on the horse to see Xuanzi, saying: "The poem says: 'Benefit me without boundaries, and my descendants will protect it.'" The Book says: "The Saint has a mo xun, and the Ming Zheng Ding Bao." 'Husbands and wives are rare, those who are tireless in training, uncles are willing to be there, and the solidity of the society is also.' Judah will give it to the 10th to persuade the able. Isn't it also confusing to abandon the community? Yu Xing. Yi Yin enlarged the armor and looked at each other, and there was no complaint. Guan and Cai Wei were the Right King of Zhou. If only the tiger should abandon the society? The Son is good, who dares not to encourage? What is overkill? "Xuanzi said, multiply with it, and spare it by saying that it is righteous. I don't see my uncle coming home. Shu Xiang also did not say goodbye and went to the court.
