The driving history of the old driver Mi Yue

author:PinoChio

Mi Yue, the eighth son of Mi Yue, a native of the State of Chu during the Warring States period and one of the many concubines of King Qin Huiwen, openly recorded a joke told by Mi Yue in front of Korean envoys in the history book "Warring States Policy".

The driving history of the old driver Mi Yue

It is said that this year, the State of Chu sent troops to attack South Korea, and surrounded a very important city in South Korea for five months at once, and the siege was so bad that the city was about to be lost, and South Korea had previously sent a batch of rescue messengers to the State of Qin, but they did not get an accurate answer from the State of Qin, did not say to send troops to rescue, and did not say that they would not send troops.

In desperation, Korea had to send another eloquent minister named Shang Jin to the Qin State again for help.

After Shang Jin came to the palace of the King of Qin, he saw King Qin Zhaoxiang sitting on the high platform, and after the big gift, Shang Jin did not talk about how tragic and cruel the war was, but directly pointed out the problem straight to the point, saying: "The relationship between the State of Qin and Korea has always been very good, after the defeat of Korea, it will be the State of Qin that will be attacked next, the so-called 'lips and teeth are cold', I hope the King of Qin can consider it well." ”

Although Shang Jin's words were addressed to King Qin Zhaoxiang, at that time, what Qin Guo said was actually King Qin Zhao's mother, Empress Dowager Qin Xuan, that is, Mi Yue.

Mi Yue was sitting behind the screen at this time, and after listening to Shang Jin's words, after thinking about it, he called Shang Jin in.

She said that the envoys from South Korea came one after another, and what Sang Jin said was reasonable, and he was talking about people.

But Mi Yue then made a statement, which is quite fierce, and this statement can be called the most unorthodox passage in all Chinese historical writings. Because she told a yellow joke.

The driving history of the old driver Mi Yue

It is recorded in the history books:

...... Empress Dowager Xuan said to Shang Zi: "The concubine is the king beforehand, and the first king is a concubine with his hips, and the concubine is not tired; All above his concubine, and the concubine Fu Shige, why not? With its less, it is advantageous. ......”

In the vernacular, Miyue said to the Korean envoy Shang Jin: "Before, when I was serving the king, when he pressed his ass on me, I felt very tired. ”

Then Mi Yue said again: "However, when he pressed his whole body on me, I was not idle at all", speaking of this, she also deliberately paused and asked Shang Jin if she knew the reason for this.

At that time, it was estimated that when everyone, including Shang Jin, heard this, they must have been dumbfounded, and it was estimated that they thought that this was what the Empress Dowager said, this is simply a strange flower.

However, the Korean envoy Shang Jin did not answer, so after wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he respectfully listened to what Miyue said this answer herself.

Then Mi Yue said the answer in a grand manner, "Why is that?" This is because the latter position is good for me. ”

Mi Yue solemnly pointed out, "So we have come to this answer, if the Qin State sends troops to rescue your Korea now, we will have to bear all the pressure from the Chu State for Korea, and we will not only lose our troops and generals, but also consume a lot of land and grass, labor and wealth." This, just like the example I just gave, doing this is not good for me at all, this is purely sitting on me, so of course, my Qin Kingdom will not send troops. ”

Although the example given by Empress Dowager Qin Xuan is not very elegant, it is not rough, and it is really this truth.

Therefore, until the end, the Koreans did not borrow a soldier from the Qin State, but it is precisely because of this that in the grand history book "Warring States Policy", a famous yellow joke was written in the Eight Classics.
