You (mí) Heng was a famous scholar at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with both literary style and eloquence, but he had a big shortcoming, that is, he was arrogant, and he usually liked to comment on current affairs and despise others. He and kong Rong, a famous scholar at that time, were good friends, and the two belonged to the year-old friendship, and Kong Rong was 20 years older than You Heng. Kong Rong greatly admired You Heng's talent, and once he made a table to Emperor Xian of Han and praised You Heng. When Cao Cao heard about it, he sent someone to recruit You Heng. After You Heng saw Cao Cao, he saluted Cao Cao, but Cao Cao ignored him and did not arrange a seat for You Heng.
You Heng knows that this is Cao Cao examining himself, the readers are often consciously high- and temperamental, in the face of Cao Cao's attitude, you Heng can bear it, do not feel the conceited nature, look up to the sky and sigh: "The heavens and the earth are so vast, how come there is not even a decent person in front of you?" Cao Cao did not get angry after hearing this, but said arrogantly: "I have a capable person around me, they are all the best heroes in the contemporary era, how can you say that there is no decent person in front of you?" You Heng said, "Then you say come and listen..."
Cao Cao said triumphantly: "Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu are all Strategists, even Xiao He and Chen Ping are not as good as them; Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Li Dian, and other heroes and martial artists are good at war, before..." Cao Cao gushed endlessly, only to see You Heng show a disdainful expression, after listening to Cao Cao's words, Yang Tian laughed and said: "I know all these people, to tell the truth, they are capable of just like that, Xun You is only worthy of guarding the grave, Cheng Yu can only look at the gate... The rest of the people are just sacks of rice. ”
After You Heng said this, he tried his best to ridicule Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious and scolded You Heng, "Then tell me, what can you do?" You Heng said without humility, I can compare with Confucius and Yan Yuan, how can I compare with the people I just mentioned!"
At that time, Zhang Liao was sitting next to Cao Cao, and when he heard You Heng's arrogant words, he was so angry that he pulled out his sword, but was stopped by Cao Cao. Cao Cao said sarcastically, "At the moment, I just lack a drummer here, so it's up to you to do this." Cao Cao originally wanted to humiliate him, but he knew that You Heng had accepted it happily, and then resigned and left.
Your high IQ is undeniable, but emotional intelligence is really humiliating, which is the purity of the reader. "Pure" is, of course, a glorified word, and a person like You Heng is nothing more than a headless fly, and sooner or later the little life will be lost. But why didn't Cao Cao kill him? Yang Xiu was solved because of the "chicken rib" sentence, but he endured You Heng, and there was also a reason for this.
First, Cao Cao's situation was different.
When You Heng humiliated him, he was still a minister, after all, You Heng was also a celebrity, killing him would inevitably cause a commotion for himself, he did not let you heng go, but borrowed a knife to kill people. Cao Cao later found a reason to give You Heng to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but You Heng was still arrogant and unruly, and also humiliated Liu Biao in public, Liu Biao was afraid of taking the responsibility for killing the sages, and gave him to the cruel Jiang Xia Taishou Huangzu, and as a result, You Heng died.
When Yang Xiu assisted Cao Zhi, Cao Cao had already established the Cao Wei regime, how could he allow others to be arrogant in front of him, so Yang Xiu was also unaware of himself, and finally provoked himself to kill himself.
Second, the nature of You Heng and Yang Xiu's arrogance is different.
You Heng was born like this, he was just not inferior, his mouth was too addictive, and he did not do anything excessive, while Yang Xiu was different. Yang Xiu mixed with the li chu dispute, seeing that Cao Cao liked Cao Zhi, he chose the camp early, and he often pondered Cao Cao's thoughts and gave Cao Zhi a lot of ideas. Yang Xiu obeyed orders, but he was "smart but mistaken by clever", and Cao Cao allowed others to "manipulate" his son.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao basically overrode the imperial court, he was full of ambition, not allowing questioning and criticism, and celebrities had a commonality: they loved to comment on current politics. Cao Cao's own conduct did not allow others to comment, so all those who touched his bottom line died and killed Kong Rong, Cui Yan, and Yang Xiu one after another...
