Kong Rong went from being a little sage who let pears at the age of 4 to becoming a big evil person who killed his brother and killed his mother when he grew up? I really have to say that this is another big joke that first created God and then destroyed God
The six words "melting four years old, can make pears" make Kong Rong become one of the first historical figures known to our generation, and the other can only be Sima Guang, who smashed the cylinder
Let's first look at Kong Rong's brother, Kong Bao, the Later Han Dynasty book "Kong Rong Lie Biography" said that in the disaster of the party, a party member named Zhang Jian was wanted, everywhere was arresting him, Zhang Jian was a good friend of his brother Kong Bao, he fled to the Kong family, just at this time Kong Bao was not there, Kong Rong took in this nominal soldier, and later the incident occurred Zhang Jian fled, Kong Rong Kong Bao and the two brothers were arrested and imprisoned
Then a surprising scene appeared, when facing the interrogation, Kong Rong said that the person was taken in by me, and had nothing to do with my brother, Kong Rong said that this was my friend and brother had nothing to do with it, Kong Rong's mother said at this time that I was an adult, the person in charge of the family, the blame was on me, 3 people rushed to accept punishment, history said that a door fought for death, and finally Kong Rong was convicted, this obvious brother and brother Gong, but became the evidence of Kong Rong's killing of his brother, slightly absurd, after this incident, Kong Rong failed to save his brother, but his deeds of loving his brother and fighting for death were handed down
In addition, Kong Rong was the twentieth grandson of Confucius, with this layer of identity, in his early years he was famous for filial piety, good eloquence, and wonderful articles, and he was already a famous scholar in the world at that time, so many people such as Dong Zhuo Yuan Shao Cao Cao had co-opted Kong Rong before and after, although in the end Kong Rong died at the hands of Cao Cao, but there were too many things that had to be said in between.
Kong Rong's career is actually not short, but the situation is chaotic, people are too rigid and loyal to the Han room, the career can not be said to be smooth, in general, he is loyal to the Han room, in 184, when He Jin was a general, he had to worship Kong Rong as a royal history, Kong Rong simply returned home because of his discord with his superiors. After being appointed as the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, equivalent to the current head of the Central Guard Regiment, but at that time Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government and wanted to depose the Han Shao Emperor, Kong Rong was very dissatisfied, and in the debate with Dong Zhuo, he often said something that wanted to "correct the chaos", Dong Zhuo held a grudge in his heart, and finally transferred Kong Rong to the Beihai State as the Minister of State, this transfer must be uneasy and kind, although it was the Minister of State, but the Beihai State at that time was the most rampant place for the Yellow Turban Army, so that Kong Rong was later surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, or Liu Bei sent troops to relieve him.
Kong Rong's six years in Beihai, set up schools, appeased the people, reused local celebrities, quite a achievement, Kong Beihai's name was also shouted out at this time, he was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, when asking Liu Bei for help, Liu Bei also exclaimed, "Kong Beihai is to know that there is Liu Bei evil in the world."
Kong Rong, as a descendant of Confucius, was listed among the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", most of his fame and achievements lie in his "Wen" side, Yu Wu, indeed a little unable to take out, in the first year of Jian'an (196), Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan led an army to attack Beihai, fought for half a year, has been short-term contact, Kong Rong is still "talking and laughing freely, hiding a few books", and finally the North Sea fell, he fled Shandong, but his wife and children were all captured by Yuan Tan. Of course, at this moment, Shandong is not the current Shandong, but east of the Taihang Mountains.
In the same year, Cao Cao took Tianzi to order the princes to move the capital to Xuchang, recruited Kong Rongjin as an official, and at first he was a master craftsman, in charge of the construction of the palace, and later promoted to Shaofu, managing the private wealth and life affairs of the imperial family, which was not a very important position. However, as a descendant of Confucius, the representative of the loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao still had to give a little thin noodles.
However, the move of Emperor Xiandi to the capital marked that Han Ding had moved to the Cao family, and Kong merged into the dynasty and still held the purpose of prospering the Han Dynasty. Political contradictions between Kong Rong and Cao Cao were also inevitable.
When Kong Rong first entered Xu, he also composed three poems in "Six Words and Poems" praising Cao Cao for taking over the rescue and being a good person. Soon, as the contradictions between Cao and Han intensified, Kong Rong "saw that Cao Cao was becoming more and more deceitful, and the number could not be counted", so he wrote various articles to ridicule Cao Cao, "more insults and slow words". For example, he wrote the "Book of Mocking Cao Gong for Zi Na Zhen", mocking Cao Cao for attacking Yecheng and zhen Mi for his son Cao Pi Na Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi's wife.
Eventually, the contradictions between Kong Cao developed to a fever pitch. Because of some of Kong Rong's remarks and the attitude of the loyal Han family, and Kong Rong's influence among the scholars, "the handsome people in the sea were convinced", which made Cao Cao feel that Kong Rong was a threat to his "great cause".
In August (September 208) of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, the sun was shining on the execution ground in Xuchang, Henan. Kong Rong's reading of his three major crimes seemed to be unheard, and he said to himself: "Hunger and evil harm justice, floating clouds and daylight", "Survival is more worrying, long sleep everything is over"
This year, Kong Rong was 55 years old
In this year, Cao Cao took himself as his chancellor and captured Jingzhou
This year, at the Battle of Chibi, Sun Liu's combined forces won a great victory
In this year, Liu Bei occupied four of the eight counties of Jingzhou
The long river of history is still flowing, the story of the last dynasty continues to be told in others, and Kong Rong, who became famous at a young age, ended his life.
Kong Rong, a group of late Han scholars, who only understand literature and religion, are not familiar with military politics, loyal but at the end of the dynasty, there is really no ability to save the country in a chaotic world, and the commentary of the Book of Later Han is "to bear its lofty spirits, aim to be in difficulty, and to be sparse and wide-minded, and to have no success", if you are in the prosperous world, with Kong Rong's identity, you should be able to have greater ambitions, rather than just making pears at the age of four, but only appear in the textbooks of primary school students in later generations.
