Let's continue from the previous part, and then talk about the fourth, fifth, and sixth dinners that influenced Chinese history.
The fourth dinner is a cup of wine to release the right to fight, rabbits to die and dogs to cook, and birds to hide with bows
On the ninth day of the seventh month of the second year of Jianlong A.D., in the late dynasty, Song Taizu left Shi Shouxin and the senior generals of the forbidden army to drink, and when the wine was in full swing, Zeng Taizu suddenly retreated, he sighed, and said bitterly, If I had not relied on your efforts, I would not have been able to get to this position, so I have always thought of your merits from my heart.
However, the day is too difficult, it is better to be a festival to make happiness, I dare not sleep all night, Shi Shouxin and others were very shocked and hurriedly asked the reason, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin said, this is not difficult to know, who doesn't want my position as emperor?
Shi Shouxin and the others listened, knowing that there was something to say in these words, and quickly kowtowed and said why did His Majesty say this? Destiny has been decided, who dares to have a different heart?
Song Taizu said, otherwise, although you have no different intentions, but if your subordinates want to be rich and noble, add yellow robes to your body, even if you don't want to be the emperor, I am afraid that you will not be able to help yourself at that time.
Shi Shouxin and the others saw that Song Taizu had already spoken so clearly, there was no room for maneuver, and at that time, Song Taizu had firmly controlled the central forbidden army, and several generals had no choice but to bow down and thank Song Taizu for his kindness.
The next day, Shi Shouxin and others, claiming that they were ill, demanded that the military power be relieved, and Song Taizu readily agreed, which also opened the Song Dynasty's centuries-old state system of emphasizing civility over martial arts.
The fifth famous dinner was Han Hee-jae's night banquet
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was an elder of the three dynasties, his name was Han Xizai, he was a scholar at the end of the Tang Dynasty, a famous talent at that time, he knew the rhythm of music, was good at poetry and painting, and was endowed with political talent.
Han Xizai, originally from the clan of Qingzhou, Shandong, fled to Jiangnan because his father died in the war and became an official in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty saw his outstanding talent and made him the prince's teacher, and also served as a history book editor, and later used his political talent to make him an official, a household department, and even a military shangshu, and he did a good job in every position, so the later lord Li Yu was ready to worship him as a prime minister
However, some people reported that Han Xizai summoned many ministers to gather in his house every night, and there was a picture of the party and private interests, and then the lord Li Yu sent the imperial painter to visit Han's house at night, and after returning, he drew a famous picture of Han Xizai's night banquet and gave it to the later lord Li Yu.
In this picture, with Han Xizai as the center, there are five scenes of listening to music, watching dance, resting, blowing lightly and feasting, the first part of Han Xizai and the guests feasting and drinking, listening to the maid play the pipa, the second part of Han Xizai's concubine Wang Wushan dance, Han Xizai personally beating the drum, the third section of the master and the prostitutes resting, changing washing, the fourth section Han Xizai dressed in plain clothes to cool down, listening to the female prostitutes playing wind music, the fifth part of the staying guests and the female prostitutes laughing, but Han Xizai, as the protagonist, frowned, thoughtful, completely ignoring the wine and beautiful women in front of him
In fact, Han Xizai did not like such a bright and green light, all this was only to hide his eyes and ears to protect himself, Li Yu also felt that Han Xizai was just a sound dog and horse, leisure and entertainment, so he eliminated his vigilance, and Han Xizai finally ended well in a high position.
The sixth dinner is the Ike no Kai
It is known as the most mission-worthy meal. During the Warring States period, the State of Zhao got Heshibi, and the insatiable King Xiang of Qin got the news and sent a letter to King Wen of Zhao, willing to take 15 cities in exchange for Heshibi.
Lin Xiangru resolutely undertook the heavy task of sending the Qin state and returned to Zhao, but soon, the Qin state attacked the state of Zhao, killing more than 20,000 soldiers of the state of Zhao, and the scheming king of Qin sent an envoy to tell the king of Zhao that he asked the king of Zhao to meet in Weichi, and the king of Zhao was afraid of being deceived, but did not dare not go, Lin Xiangru was not afraid of sacrifice for the honor of the motherland, and decided to personally accompany the king of Zhao to Yuchi
At the banquet, he engaged in a-for-tat struggle with the Qin kings, and when the king of Zhao was forced to drum, he fought hard to make the state of Zhao equal and reasonable, so that the king of Qin had to fight
Later, when Qin asked Zhao for 15 cities, Lin Xiangru refused to give an inch, and proposed to use Xianyang, the capital of the Qin state, as a quid pro quo, so that the Qin king was poor and had nothing to gain, Lin Xiangru wittily protected the safety of the king of Zhao and was not humiliated, and after returning to China, he was appointed as Shangqing, equivalent to the position of prime minister.
