Being able to speak and know how to speak is a compulsory course. Tasteful speech can always make a lasting impression. A person's ultimate self-discipline is to be careful in what he says and does. Whenever and wherever you are. All pay attention to a "cautious" word.
We all live in an environment where we cannot avoid the world, where we need skills to get along and speak through our heads. In this world, there is nothing that can be successful without hard work. This is the law of the world. A person should know a truth in life, that is, to know the world without being sophisticated, to be good at self-deprecation and not to mock others. There are some things that can be said or not, and when it is feasible, it is necessary to weigh it in the heart and say it again.
I believe that no one will like to talk without a brain. This is true today, let alone in ancient times. After all, in the ancient environment, an inappropriate word or deed could be in a different place.
Regardless of the environment, you should be careful. Today we will take a look at the story of Yang Xiu in the Three Kingdoms. Although Yang Xiu is a very talented person with a very good family background, he is in a chaotic world, but he is arrogant and arrogant, which eventually leads to self-immolation and a different head. Yang Xiu's death is a warning, and Yang Xiu's father also said a truth that has been passed down to this day.
Speaking of Yang Xiu, we have to mention Yang Xiu's home. Since Yang Zhen opened up the road to the magnates, his ancestors have been high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the officialdom, and have always been known for their loyalty and integrity.

Yang Xiu's father, Yang Biao, was a famous loyalist of the Eastern Han Dynasty and played an important role during the Eastern Han Dynasty. He is very upright in the official arena, very stable in interpersonal relations, and very atmospheric in language. I have to say that the tutors at that time were strict.
Therefore, Yang Xiu, who was born in such a rich family, is also very capable. Yang Xiu has loved to read since he was a child, proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, and has a remarkable literary style. But he also has a little bit of a bad place, that is, less modesty, more arrogance.
Since ancient times, high-ranking and powerful people have greatly appreciated talents. Yang Xiu is such a smart person, naturally it is no exception, he will inevitably be reused. Yang Xiu met Cao Cao in his early years. It can be said that they are old friends, but the story of what happened later has also left a strong mark in history.
At first, Cao Cao attached great importance to Yang Xiu, and during a trip, Cao Cao saw the riddle of "yellow silk young woman, grandson and mortar".
He asked Yang Xiu, what does it mean?
Yang Xiu explained to Cao Cao: Yellow silk, color silk also, Yu character is absolute. Young women, young girls also, in the word is wonderful. Grandson, woman also, Yu word as well. 齑臼, 受辛也, Yu Zi is a word ("Ci" Gu also wrote "辤"). Therefore, the answer to the eight-character puzzle is a wonderful word also. ”。
Cao Cao was very happy and very much agreed with Yang Xiu's words. In fact, this is also because Yang Xiu's words were in Cao Cao's mind. This made Cao Cao very happy, thinking that this coincidence was fate.

One more time to fix the door frame. Yang Xiu's words also won Cao Cao's attention. Therefore, we have to admit that Yang Xiu is indeed a smart person, and Cao Cao also pays great attention to talents. Their friendship is not easy.
According to common sense, Yang Xiu, who was so appreciated by his superiors, should be reused by the official Jinjue. But this is not the case, what really happened between them? Only then did Yang Xiu always be left out in the cold, and finally fell into a different place?
According to historical records, Yang Xiu intervened in the matter of power and participated in the battle for power between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi. Yang Xiu thought that Cao Zhi would achieve something, so he stood on the same side as Cao Zhi and got along better with Cao Zhi.
Since ancient times, the imperial family has been very taboo about the change of royal power. Yang Xiu could not guess Cao Cao's thoughts. After Cao Cao learned of this, his admiration for Yang Xiu gradually turned into disgust. Knowing that you can't do it is actually a big taboo!
In fact, Cao Cao had the heart to pass the throne to Cao Pi, and Yang Xiu immediately realized that he was getting closer and closer to death. This was followed by the "Chicken Rib Incident", which occurred when Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei. Due to problems such as insufficient military food, Cao Cao had slight intentions of withdrawing.
During the meal, Cao Cao said "chicken ribs". It is a pity to eat it tastelessly and abandon it. Yang Xiu thought that he knew Cao Cao very well, so he ordered the whole army to pack up and prepare to retreat. This upset the morale of the army. Cao Cao was very angry, so he directly beheaded Yang Xiu. The wise man was eventually destroyed in his own mouth.

Should this happen to the death penalty? What should be the fate of talented people in the world? What was Cao Cao thinking? Didn't the execution of Yang Xiu disturb the hearts and minds of the military to a certain extent? Will it chill the loyalists?
In any case, Cao Cao may have been worried that Yang Xiu was too clever and would later spread his own territory to Cao Pi. It may also be that Yang Xiu is sharp and likes to be in the limelight too much. After all, I didn't make a decision myself, so I said it first. It's a bit unbridled.
White-haired people send black-haired people. The saddest thing about Yang Xiu's death was Yang Xiu's father. Although calm on the surface, but in fact sad, Yang Biao is full of reluctance and regret, and also lacks the heroism of the past.
Shortly after Yang Xiu's death, Cao Cao invited Yang Biao to a dinner party. Yang Biao rushed to the scene because Cao Cao executed Yang Xiu. Now when he met Cao Cao, he could not ignore it. I still have to give Yang Biao an explanation.
So Cao Cao looked at Yang Biao, who was losing weight, and deliberately asked: Why is the prince so thin? Yang Biao listened, and even had the heart to kill Cao Cao, his son was killed by him, but he was still talking about the wind and cool here.
Here I have to say "ginger is still old spicy". Yang Biao's sentence "Shame on the foresight of Jin Ribao, especially the love of the old cow licking the calf". Today, it can be said that it has been passed down through the ages. The meaning of this sentence is: I am ashamed that I did not have the foresight to kill children as fiercely as Kim Il-seok, and I still miss Yang Xiu like an old cow loving a calf.
These eight words express the meaning of loyalty and the love of father and son. Cao Cao was very touched after hearing this, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Yang Biao's talent is also undeniable, playing a very important role at that time. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Yang Biao avoided death. After all, the revenge of killing a son can be said to be not shared by the heavens, not to mention Cao Cao's men who said, "I would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me". This sentence can be said to have saved the Yang Biao Manchus.
In the war-torn years of the time, only carefulness could protect itself. Although Yang Xiu was very clever, he did not hide this pride in his heart. Arrogance is the root cause of his tragic ending, and even the entire family almost followed the funeral.
He didn't have his father's prudence and said too many things he thought he was. Words will be lost and eventually take their own lives. It is a pity that such a talented person is so sorry, so it is also Yang Xiu's misfortune to meet Cao Cao.
As the saying goes, a companion is like a companion tiger. On the side of the king, it was necessary to judge the situation, and Yang Xiu's lack of this point led to the fate of the head in a different place. Of course, Cao Cao may feel guilty about the execution of Yang Xiu, but Cao Cao certainly does not regret it.
After all, Cao Cao didn't like Cao Zhi. He wanted to pave the way for Cao Pi. Even if Cao Cao did not kill Yang Xiu now, according to Yang Xiu's character, he would eventually be calculated by others.
Looking back at history, the dispute between the crown princes will inevitably set off a bloody storm. The dominant side will always take the opportunity to get rid of the losing side. If you want to reduce internal friction, you can only start first when your wings are not strong. Therefore, this result cannot be avoided, but perhaps a little earlier, allowing Cao Cao to seize the opportunity.
Yang Xiu's death is indeed a pity, which makes posterity vigilant. Yang Biao's words are also worth pondering for posterity. Although the contemporary era is not like the feudal society when the disaster comes out of the mouth, but also learn to be careful in words and deeds, after all, good communication will make the people around you like you more. It is still necessary to control one's mouth when there are many people, and it is still necessary to control one's heart when there are few people.
