Yang Xiu, the Talented Son of the Eastern Han Dynasty who died because of chicken ribs, the world said that he was arrogant and did not know how to cater, but who knew that Yang Xiuzu had been an official for four generations to be a lieutenant, and in his generation, he only did Cao Cao's march master book. A talented man who lives in the shadow of the family will release his talent until he dies, proving himself to those in power.
The omen of the demise of a dynasty is that there will suddenly be talented people from all walks of life, whether in the political, military, and academic circles, or in the private business circles, peasant circles, various lower social classes, and even brothels, there will be a number of leading figures, some of whom are ambitious in the world, some of whom are intoxicated with scholarship, some of whom assist the new lord, and some of whom are defending the country and are loyal and righteous.
The family was hereditary third duke, and Yang Xiu had no chance of being a lieutenant
Yang Xiu, the character Dezu, was born at an inopportune time, he lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, where the building had fallen but was still surviving. In addition to Yang Xiu, the above four generations of the family were all imperial court lieutenants, ranking third dukes, and were the largest military advisers of the imperial court. In Yang Xiu's generation, Cao Cao abolished the three-metric system and set himself up as a chancellor to take charge of the government, which meant that even if Yang Xiu had great talent, it was impossible to become an official and a lieutenant. The Yang family's generation of three dukes was in Yang Xiu's generation, and he began to live in the shadow of the family.
Everyone is a prince, aristocratic, and struggles non-stop
Because of cao Cao's appearance, Yang Xiu had less chance of continuing the glory of his ancestors, but as a prince of everyone, Yang Xiu inevitably had some aristocratic integrity, and as long as there was a chance to achieve fame, he could not let it go. The family began to fall lonely in his own hands, then he relied on his own to revitalize the family, relying on the family's relationship and his own strength, Yang Xiu was elected as a filial piety, and soon changed to Langzhong, and then became Cao Cao's marching master.
The power of the official position of the main bookkeeper is not worthy of its nominal power, and the main bookkeeper is a civilian position, equivalent to the current political commissar in the military. However, Yang Xiu, the master book, became a small secretary who sorted out documents and materials for Cao Cao, and had no power, not even the opportunity to advise Cao Cao. Officials have also been quite aggrieved to this point, busy sorting out chores every day, hard enough, but they have no right to speak in the face of major events, and the chances of confirming themselves in front of the leaders are slim.
Playing small clever, betting on the new lord, Cao Cao is bored
In front of Cao Cao, Yang Xiu was just a servant doing chores, and there was no him in the think tank, and he did not even enter Cao Cao's trust zone. Yang Xiu still holds the attitude that he can try, the master does not believe in himself, then create a new master by himself, perhaps because the literati like to appreciate each other, Yang Xiu chose Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi found Yang Xiu, and the two literati smell the same (not pejorative).
With the help of Yang Xiu, Cao Zhi also gained Cao Cao's trust, perhaps Wen was born to like to show off, Cao Zhi got his father's appreciation, began to be arrogant and arrogant, and no one in sight. Yang Xiu warned Cao Zhi, but Cao Zhi did not listen, and then Yang Xiu realized that he had made a wrong choice and wanted to break away from Cao Zhi, but he did not dare. Cao Zhi's excessive publicity made Cao Cao angry, and when he knew that the man behind Cao Zhi was Yang Xiu, he began to dislike Yang Xiu and had the ability to make his son shine, but did not teach him the way of being a man.
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao was in a dilemma, and Yang Xiu shared his worries
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei finally had the strength to confront Cao Cao. Cao Cao garrisoned in Xiegu, wanted to attack Hanzhong, and Ma Chao was in the front, wanting to return to the dynasty, but he was afraid that the Shu army would laugh and lose morale, so he fell into a dilemma, and the generals in the army were also overwhelmed. One day, Xiahou Huan asked for a night password, just as Cao Cao was eating chicken ribs, he casually said: "Chicken ribs, chicken ribs." After Yang Xiu heard the order, he told the soldiers to pack their bags and prepare to withdraw. After Cao Cao learned the reason, he beheaded Yang Xiu for the crime of rebellion.
In fact, Cao Cao very much wanted to get Hanzhong, whether he lost or won, after all, he had to try it once. Yang Xiu knew that the lord had sorrow in his heart, because he had lost the battle for heirs, and he also felt that the limit was approaching, so why did he not share his heart for the master once before he died? Therefore, Yang Xiu used chicken ribs to end his weak future and help Cao Cao calm the hearts of the army. Cao Cao was also aware of Yang Xiu's approach, but he was helpless to be a leader, a dictator, and a ruler.
Experience
History is often cruel, it has no clear right and wrong, and Yang Xiu's death is a tragic story.
We think about life, feel life, but always can not find enough experience to reflect, history is actually a philosophy, when we read history, often in addition to increasing life experience, improve experience. The pattern, mentality, and reaction of different people in different eras in history will affect our lives, whether it is the pattern of Cao Cao or the pattern of Yang Xiu, as long as we see through them, then we can already override the top level of thought, although life is still difficult, but the thinking of people who can read history is always at the peak.
