Presumably many people still remember the allusion of "Kong Rong makes pears" in the book when they were children, which is a household name.
He will always be used to educate children and make them develop the character of humility.
As the saying goes: three years old looks old, and he was already four years old when Kong Rong let the pear.
However, later in history, Kong Rong was charged with killing his mother, and since then he has never recovered, what is going on?
1. Entering the officialdom, justice and outspokenness
When reading Kong Rongrang Pear, many people will be curious about what kind of life path he will take and what kind of person he will become when he knows how to be humble at the age of four.
Kong Rong's wit has been reflected since he was a child, and when he grew up, he entered the officialdom as he wished, and became an official who was not big but not small.
After Kong Rong entered the officialdom, he showed his character characteristics, he had his own set of theories, and he often spoke out.
Anyone who has done something wrong, no matter how big or small it is, he will bring it up, and he will not shy away from it.
Once he was on the top of the hall to Emperor Han Xian to say his advice on governing the country, although Emperor Han Xian liked his uprightness very much, but because of this, it also attracted the dissatisfaction of many officials in the court.
However, although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty liked Kong Rong, he did not have the strength to protect Kong Rong, and after Dong Zhuo took control of the government, he united a group of officials to depose him.
And this dethronement did not serve as a reminder for Kong Rong, but was more convinced that what he did was right.
2. He was executed by Cao Cao on the charge of "killing his mother".
During the period when Kong Rong was deposed by Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao quickly rose to prominence in the north and even proclaimed himself emperor, and Kong Rong was most dissatisfied with Cao Cao, mainly because of their disagreement with each other.
After Cao Cao came to power, Kong Rong opposed him more than once, and often did things that Cao Cao expressly forbidden.
For example, Cao Cao issued a ban on alcohol, but how could Kong Rong, who was addicted to alcohol, be willing?
This made Cao Cao unbearable and ready to find someone to clean him up.
It's just that Kong Rong himself is still not angry, in that era when filial piety is extremely important, some of Kong Rong's remarks actually made Cao Cao grasp the handle.
In historical records, Kong Rong said: "Children are just the product of their parents' happiness, and when a child is born, he has nothing to do with his parents, let alone support his parents." ”
Kong Rong's remarks were against human ethics at the time, how could Cao Cao let him go if he grabbed this handle?
Cao Cao is extremely smart, he and Kong Rong have political disagreements, and if he does it rashly, he is afraid that he will be criticized by the mouth.
However, there will always be many coincidences in history at the right time that can completely change a person's fate.
Kong Rong's unscrupulous personality made many people dissatisfied with him, but he was a character who didn't know how to restrain himself, and he had already formed a lot of grudges.
On this day, someone sued Kong Rong, so Cao Cao seized the opportunity, so he led troops to surround Kong Rong's mansion and arrested him.
In fact, how could the suspicious and intelligent Cao Cao not know that this was a false accusation, but this was an opportunity for him to completely eradicate Kong Rong, so how could he let it go so easily?
So after Cao Cao arrested Kong Rong, on the surface, he was collecting evidence for him to clear his grievances, but in fact he was looking for more charges that could be convicted of Kong Rong, after all, one crime was not enough to kill Kong Rong.
Under Cao Cao's arrangement, Kong Rong was charged with many more crimes, such as: "Misdeeds, slander of the court, etc."
After Cao Cao killed Kong Rong, he was afraid that his children would come to take revenge, so he executed all their families, which was also a sensational event at the time.
After executing Kong Rong, Cao Cao also put on a trumped-up charge of "killing his mother".
There are so many people who are willing to believe this crime of killing mothers, it is nothing more than because of some inappropriate remarks in Kong Rong's early days, they take it for granted that people like Kong Rong who can say that the child has nothing to do with the mother after birth, it seems not surprising that he did such a thing as killing his mother, and he was even scolded by many people.
In fact, Kong Rong did not kill his mother, and this crime was completely imposed on him by Cao Cao, who did not agree with his political views.
