Kong Rong is a historical figure known to everyone in China, and it is recorded in the "Three Character Classic": Rong is four years old and can make pears. It is said that Kong Rong ate pears with his brothers when he was a child, picked small pears by himself, gave the big pears to his brothers, and passed them on as beautiful talks.
But the familiar "Kong Rong let pear", this only happened before he was four years old, so what are the stories of Kong Rong after that?
Kong Rong lived in the Three Kingdoms era and served under Cao Cao, but was eventually killed by Cao Cao because he repeatedly bumped into Cao Cao.
And such a humble and courteous person from childhood was eventually killed by Cao Cao on the charge of "unfilial piety". Do you believe it? A person who knows at the age of four that he loves his family and eats the smallest pears himself, is not filial?
Not only that, after Kong Rong was arrested, knowing that his life was short, he begged Cao Cao to spare his two children, but his nine-year-old child said eight words, which has become a famous sentence passed down through the ages, and it will be used often in our lives today.
With these questions, let's learn about Kong Rong!
It is said that Kong Rong is the twentieth grandson of Confucius, who has been known for his intelligence since he was a child and is regarded as a "child prodigy". Where is his cleverness? He is quick to react and quick to argue.
When he was 10 years old, at a gathering of celebrities and gentlemen, Kong Rong spoke amazingly, and the people present praised him, and one named Chen Tao was very unimpressed, saying: "It's an hour, big may not be good." "It means that when you are smart, you may not be outstanding when you grow up. After Kong Rong heard this, he replied, "If you want to be Jun Hour, you should be it." He followed Chen Tao's logic, praising him on the surface that he must have been very smart when he was a child, but in fact he was derogatory that he was not outstanding now, and Chen Tao was speechless in one sentence.
Between words, he treated his body with his human way, and the guests present were all surprised.
After his release, Kong Rong served as the minister of Beihai, lost his territory in a battle with Yuan Shao, and then defected to Xuchang, where Emperor Xian of Han was located.
Emperor Xian of Han admired him and made him the minister in charge of the project (Minister of Construction). Every time the imperial court held a pre-imperial meeting, he was the chief speaker, and the other ministers were only named members.
At this time, Cao Cao's dictatorship was to hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the vassals, to use Emperor Xian of Han as a puppet, and to hold power himself, Kong Rong was not used to him, often ridiculed Cao Cao, attacked his political ideas, and spoke fiercely.
This can also be seen from Kong Rong's article, Kong Rong's article has very few of them in circulation now, as far as his existing articles are concerned, we can see that he is not very sarcastic to others, only to Cao Cao.
For example, in the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, and was happy in his heart, and rewarded Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law Zhen Shi to Cao Pi.
Kong Rong wrote a personal letter to Cao Cao, saying: "Once upon a time, King Wu felled and gave his concubine to his younger brother Duke Zhou. This time, Duke Cao followed the example of King Wu and gave the Zhen family to Shizi, which is quite hearty and gratifying! ”
Cao Cao thought that King Wu really gave Daji to the Duke of Zhou because of Kong Rong's erudition, so he asked him in which book he saw it, and where was it recorded in history?
Kong Rong said: "With this day, take it for granted. "It's just that according to our events today, it should be like that.
Only then did Cao Cao understand that he was satirizing him. Cao Cao this person is also very strange, you say such a cunning person, he can't see that this is sarcasm, anyway, Kong Rong is looking for an opportunity, just sarcastically satirize Cao Cao.
For example, in order to save food, Cao Cao once issued a ban on alcohol, but was opposed by Kong Rong, what is going on?
It is said that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the use of troops for many years, coupled with the famine, food shortage was very short, Cao Cao issued a prohibition on alcohol in the name of "wine can destroy the country", believing that at present, the priority is to accumulate grain to meet the food and clothing of the people.
This decision is actually beneficial to the country and the people, as a result, as soon as the prohibition of alcohol was issued, Kong Rong was the first to jump out to oppose, it turned out that Kong Rong was also a drinking friend, and once wrote "Go home with a lot of wine debts, and the door is a few lines." Talk about four seats, pour a thousand overnight".
Kong Rong expressed his opposition to the prohibition order, and also wrote an article "The Book of Prohibition of Prohibition by the Gong of Cao Gong", which was published publicly to make fun of Cao Cao, saying that there is a star dou called "Jiuqi" in the sky, and there is a county town called "Jiuquan" on the ground, does prohibition of alcohol mean that the star dou in the sky and the county of Jiuquan on the earth should be renamed?
He also said that in the past, there were also women who died in the country, such as what kind of self, praise, etc., why can't they help marriage?
Kong Rong's series of verbal provocations gave Cao Cao a headache, and his brain was buzzing.
In fact, Cao Cao also drank, otherwise how could there be the verse "How to relieve worries, only Du Kang"?
In fact, Cao Cao's prohibition of alcohol was also due to the needs of the general environment, and he was considering the problem from the perspective of the ruler. You Kong Rong provoked for your own selfishness, always adding chaos to me, so no sense of the overall situation, ignorant of current affairs, what do you keep for? What are you waiting for? So Cao Cao decided to kill Kong Rong.
However, if Cao Cao wanted to kill Kong Rong, he also needed to be condemned to a crime, and Cao Cao convicted him of "unfilial piety". Because it was found that Kong Rong said two "reactionary remarks":
First, Kong Rong once said, father and son, what is the grace? It's just that the lust attack at that time; The relationship between mother and son is like a thing temporarily stored in a bottle, as long as the contents of the bottle are poured out, the relationship between mother and son is over.
Second, what if there is a famine in the world, do you have some food in your hand and give it to your father? Kong Rong's answer is: If his father is not good, he would rather give it to others to eat.
Such remarks, of course, are "unfilial piety". So Cao Cao quickly arrested Kong Rong.
After Kong Rong was arrested, there was panic inside and outside the imperial court. Kong Rong also knew that his life was short, so he begged Cao Cao and said, "I hope that the guilt is limited to me, can I spare my two children?" ”
According to Cao Cao's personality, of course, this is not possible, and Cao Cao sent a court captain to arrest Kong Rong's family.
At that time, Kong Rong's two children, the son was nine years old and the daughter was seven years old, and the two played games as usual, and they didn't look worried at all.
The people around him said anxiously: "Your father was captured by Captain Ting, and he is about to be killed!" Don't you two hurry up and hide? But these two children were very calm, their immature little faces were indifferent, and then the nine-year-old son said: "Under the nest, how can there be an end to the eggs?" ”
It turned out that the two children had long known the seriousness of this matter, and what he meant by this sentence was: How can there be well-preserved eggs when a bird's nest is destroyed? So we had to enjoy the rest of our time and finally go to the disaster with our father.
Before the words fell, Ting Wei came and took away Kong Rong's family and two children.
Later, the phrase "under the nest, how can there be no eggs" was known by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter, the so-called cutting grass and removing roots, Kong Rong's son can say such shocking words at a young age, if adults must be in great trouble. Even if you can't become a henchman, and you will become a little Kong Rong in the future, you will come to talk to him all day, then you can't stand it.
Kong Rong was imprisoned and abandoned (beheaded) at the age of fifty-six, and his wife and children were not spared, and they were all killed by Cao Cao, but this sentence said by a nine-year-old child has become a famous sentence through the ages, making future generations sad and tearful.
Finally, to say two more words, Kong Rong, who was four years old, was finally killed by Cao Cao on the charge of "unfilial piety". Sounds ironic!
In fact, Cao Cao used the charge of "unfilial piety" to kill Kong Rong, and his intentions were very deep.
First, the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism and ruled the world with filial piety, and Cao Cao said that Kong Rong was not filial, so wouldn't he Cao Cao be to maintain filial piety and maintain the Han family? Thus weakening the suspicion that he "conspired to usurp".
Second, Cao Cao is the kind of person who has a strong desire for control and wants to monopolize power, and the subordinates around him always gossip about him, is it okay not to cooperate with him? It is just through Kong Rong to kill a hundred people, "positive and positive trends".
In fact, having said that, we don't know if Kong Rong really said "unfilial piety", but Cao Cao said that there is, that is, there is. But even if there is, it is a moment of saying the wrong thing, running a train on the mouth, and there is a mistake and not guilty. Finally, when Cao Cao recruited talents, he said that it doesn't matter if you are unfaithful or unfilial, I will use you if you have the ability, but now why kill people in the name of filial piety? Isn't it a little paradoxical?!
