#历史故事 #
During the reign of King Zhuang of Chu, there was a court entertainer named Meng in the Chu Kingdom, because he could speak eloquently and had a super high foundation in performing arts, he engaged in the work of Youling in the Chu King's Palace, specifically Hai You. That's why history called him Youmeng.
Ling refers to music work, in the Spring and Autumn Period, music work is a very important kind of work, because music is very important etiquette, when to use what kind of music and dance, are strictly exquisite. An improper one can lead to international jokes and leave the monarch with a handle that is ridiculed by the world.
And you refer to acting, haiku refers to funny, so the specific profession of this Meng You is a burlesque actor. If you put it now, it should be the equivalent of Chaplin-level superstar. It's just a pity that at that time, in the three religions and nine streams, as an artist, it was not recognized by people. When no child is born, his father will say to him: study hard, improve every day, and grow up to be an actor.
When you are an actor, you are not out of the ordinary. But Comrade Youmeng did this job very well, so that history has left a name.
History records two events about Youmeng, both related to King Zhuang of Chu. It is said that King Chu Zhuang likes horses very much, and there are many good horses, and he especially likes one of them. For this horse, king Chu Zhuang loved it very much, for example, he specially purchased a set of rows for it, asked the tailor to tailor several sets of clothes, and the material quality was all silk satin. He also instructed the craftsmen to arrange a stable in their royal palace, which was equivalent to the prince's bedchamber. A group of people were specially instructed to take care of the horse, and they ate not grass or ordinary horse millet, but jujubes.
Some people may wonder: How could King Zhuang of Chu be so wise and divine, how could he love horses like Wei Yigong Haohe? Don't forget, King Chu Zhuang has lived for three years of spending days and wine, not to mention loving horses, he loves everything, loves hunting, loves to bubble girls, loves to listen to music, loves to watch dances, before a blockbuster, King Chu Zhuang was a prodigal son. Therefore, many ministers came to persuade him a lot, but of course he did not listen. It was just to firmly remember the people who had persuaded him and ask Wu Shan to record it well.
Horses, this kind of beast, used to pulling carts, running and forage, eating dates every day, and lack of exercise, so they got serious three-high disease, especially the body fat, and finally one day, three highs and obesity burst out and died. King Zhuang of Chu was so sad that he ordered the whole country to mourn for this horse. At the same time, it was ordered that a special coffin should be used to install the corpse of a funeral horse and bury it according to the funeral specifications of the Chu Gong clan doctor.
Such misdeeds made many ministers of the Chu state unable to see it, and many people came to persuade King Zhuang of Chu. King Zhuang of Chu simply issued a decree: "If anyone dares to come to the funeral of a horse, he will be executed immediately!" "The historical records do not record who king Zhuang of Chu executed, because first, he would not execute those loyal subjects, and second, the ministers of the Chu state would not joke with their own heads. Anyway, the Chu Kingdom is yours, and if you love to toss it, you can toss it.
But Yumon was ready to joke with his head. He went to see King Chu Zhuang, and as soon as he entered the gate of the palace, Youmeng began to cry, crying into a handful of snot and a handful of tears, giving people a feeling of sad Pacific.
King Chu Zhuang was very surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you?" What sad thing happened? ”
While weeping, Youmeng said to King Chu zhuang, "The great king's BMW has unfortunately died, and Wei Chen is too sad because of this." ”
At that time, the doctor died and was called a pawn, and since the king of Chuzhuang was going to treat the horse with the specifications of the doctor, Youmeng used this pawn. King Chu Zhuang was very relieved when he heard this: It seems that there are still people who recognize their love for horses.
King Chu Zhuang comforted Youmeng and said, "Yes, Bugu is also very sad. Therefore, Bugu ordered the BMW to be buried thickly in the specifications of the doctor. You get up, don't be too sad, death is dead, we treat it well and deal with its aftermath. ”
Youmeng stood up and said to king of Chuzhuang, "Great King, Wei Chen thinks that when BMW was alive, it brought so much joy to the great king, and now it is dead, but it is not thoughtful for the great king to deal with its aftermath only with the specifications of a doctor." The Great King, our Chu kingdom, the land is vast, the country is rich and the people are strong, and it is not incapable of burying a horse. Wei Chen suggested that the king's horse should at least use the specifications of Shangqing to bury it, and even the specifications of the king should not be exaggerated. ”
King Chu Zhuang was overjoyed after hearing this: "Just in line with the meaning of bugu, then, this matter will be entrusted to you to handle, do it more solemnly, bugu will be rewarded." By the way, you first draw up a plan and let Bugu see. ”
YouMeng said, "Wei Chen already has a set of plans, so I will report to the Great King in detail now." The first is the coffin, made of finely carved jade material, which may be much larger than the average king's coffin, because the Mabi is large. Then there is the rafter, the best wood in our chu country, catalpa wood, and then decorated with high-grade camphor wood. Then there is the choice of cemetery, the tomb of the BMW should be selected in the feng shui treasure land of the North Mountain of our capital, the project of the base underground palace is relatively large, and more than 6,000 people need to be used. During this period, someone should be sent to the deep cold land of Beidi, and the express car should take thick ice to freeze the horse carcass, but due to the hot weather, it is estimated that the ice will turn into water halfway. The minister also thought about a plan, and asked the most famous witch doctor in the Chu kingdom to block the horse's belly with the most precious Chinese medicine, and then apply the horse's body to keep the horse's body from rotting.
Invitations were then issued to the princely states, and some of them sent envoys to participate in the burial of horses. Finally, it is guarded according to the standards of the royal tomb. Oh, by the way, by the king's standards, we still have to build a temple for it, which requires the use of the ritual of the Prison, the sacrifice of a thousand pigs, cattle, and sheep, and the arrangement of a ten thousand households for worship. We still have to find the mare that has mated with this BMW, and the descendants of this BMW, which is a bit difficult, but as long as the kung fu is deep, it should also be able to find it. After finding it, let the descendants of BMW inherit the treatment of BMW before they died... ”
"Okay, don't you say it, that's too much, isn't it?" King Chu Zhuang's head grew bigger.
Youmeng smiled, "Great King, according to the standard, it has to be like this?" ”
"This matter will be spread out, and our Chu country will not be laughed at by the nations?" King Chu Zhuang stared at Youmeng and said.
"O Great King Shengming, it is true that the BMW was a BMW before he died, and if he is buried according to the specifications of the king and doctor after death, it sounds really ugly." Has the Great King ever heard of Wei Yigong's love for the crane? Youmeng said.
King Zhuang of Chu woke up at this time, yes, Wei Yigong aihe led to the final death of the country, and he did this, it was a copy of Wei Yigong. In the end, King Zhuang of Chu accepted Youmeng's suggestion and stopped tossing and burying horses. This is the historical allusion "King Zhuang burying the horse".
