Cockfighters want to eat chicken: Something bad happened to Confucius, Wang Bo, and Li Bai

1, eat chicken open plug-in, causing Confucius to run

Li Hongzhang said: Confucius could not shoot foreign guns.

Today's children do not want to memorize the Analects, so they say: Confucius can't play with mobile phones.

Although Confucius could not play with mobile phones, he did not know or play the glory of the king. But Confucius had cockfighting at that time!

And the people who play the game , the cockfighters — keep plugging in for the sake of eating chicken and winning.

Open the plug-in, do not abide by the rules of the game, it is easy to make trouble.

It is said that in the late Spring and Autumn Period, the political power was moved down, which was Confucius's heartbroken liturgy. First of all, Zhou Tianzi was no longer able to command the princes, and Li Le's conquest came out of the princes, and then the power of the doctors in the princes' countries also became larger and larger, and a situation of "government in the doctor" appeared.

Lu Guo bore the brunt of it. The power of the State of Lu fell into the hands of the "Three Huans". The so-called "Three Huans" refers to the descendants of The three sons of Duke Huan of Lu Huan, Qing Father, Shu Ya and Ji You: the three noble families of MengSun, Shusun and Jisun. They have been passed down from generation to generation, successive secretaries of state, and there has been a situation of "three offices".

With the passage of time, the power of the Jisun (Pingzi) clan became more and more expanded, and the military and political affairs of the State of Lu were all monopolized by Ji Pingzi. In the twenty-fifth year of Lu Zhaogong (517 BC), the "cockfighting storm" between the Ji clan and the Hao clan pushed the struggle for political power in the upper echelons of the Lu state to a climax.

Cockfighting was a kind of entertainment and gambling activity of the luris, which was very popular in the city of Qufu, the capital of Ludu at that time. The rules of the game are: both sides of the gambling release a brave and aggressive rooster, and fight brutally on the field, and the owner of the winning rooster can win money.

Ji Pingzi's apartment in Qufu, the capital of Lu, happened to be adjacent to another nobleman of the Lu state, Hao Zhaobo, who often enjoyed cockfighting.

In order to win, Ji Pingzi thought of opening a plug-in. The rooster released by Ji Pingzi was secretly sprinkled with mustard powder on the wings of the chicken, and the rooster of the Zhaobo family, no matter how majestic and fierce, was always blinded and failed one after another.

If you don't know, you can't do it unless you don't do it yourself. Later, Hao Zhaobo discovered the secret of Ji Pingzi's cockfighting victory. Well, you do the first year, I do the fifteenth, and he puts a sharp little copper hook on his cock's feet. This next season, Pingzi's chickens are always blinded and fail. Eating chicken is the turn of Zhaobo. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this matter was discovered by the Ji family, so the two sides pinched each other.

Ji Pingzi had been in power in the state of Lu for a long time, and he wanted to only allow the governor to set fire to the people and not allow the people to light the lamp, and asked Gao Zhaobo to give in, but Hao Zhaobo refused to back down: The monk can touch it, I can't touch it? Ji Pingzi felt that Zhaobo zhaobo toasted and did not eat and eat the penalty wine, so he attacked the hao clan and occupied the fief of zhaobo in one fell swoop.

In addition, Ji Pingzi also had a conflict with Zang Zhaobo, and also imprisoned Zang's courtiers. Therefore, the Hao and Zang clans sued lu Zhaogong for wrongs. Lu Zhaogong was already dissatisfied with Ji Pingzi's dictatorship and had always wanted to overthrow Ji Pingzi in order to restore the power of the office, so Lu Zhaogong supported the Hao and Zang clans and sent troops to surround Ji Pingzi.

Ji Pingzi saw that there were troops around him, and could not escape, and expressed his willingness to move out of Qufu and return the fiefdom he had stolen from the Hao clan. Lu Zhaogong did not allow it, and Ji Pingzi expressed his willingness to compensate for the property and imprison himself as punishment. Lu Zhaogong still did not allow it, and the Two Families of Hao and Zang must kill Ji Pingzi.

In this struggle, the Shusun clan and the Mengsun clan felt that if the Jisun clan fell, they would also collapse one after another. The auxiliary cars were cold and cold, so they went together to save Ji Pingzi and killed Zhaobo, who was sent by Lu Zhaogong to contact them.

The struggle against Sanhuan failed in just one day. Lu Zhaogong fled to the State of Qi. When Confucius learned of Lu Zhaogong's escape to the State of Qi, Confucius also followed Duke Lu Zhaogong to the State of Qi.

When Confucius arrived in the State of Qi, he was appreciated and treated favorably by Qi Jinggong, and even prepared to give Confucius the fields around Nixi, but was stopped by the doctor Yan Bao. It's hard to find a job.

In the twenty-sixth year of Lu Zhaogong (516 BC), Qi Jinggong asked Confucius about the government, and Confucius said that the king should be like a king, his subordinates should be like a subordinate, his father should be like a father, and his son should be like a son (junjun, courtier, father, son).

Confucius was listening to the music of "Shao" in Qi, like a drunk, and the idiom of not knowing the taste of meat in March came out at this time.

In the twenty-seventh year of Lu Zhaogong (515 BC), the doctor of the State of Qi wanted to harm Confucius, and Confucius heard about it and asked Qi Jinggong for help. Qi Jinggong said that he was old and could not be used. Confucius had no choice but to flee back to the kingdom of Lu.

2. In order to eat chicken as a cheerleader, Wang Prodigy was expelled

Some time ago, netizens were complaining about the harm caused by the original family to themselves, until they saw how tragic it was for a doctor without a native family to grow up.

Wang Bocongmin is studious, six-year-old can write, the next writing is fluent, and is praised as a "prodigy". At the age of nine, he read the "Notes on the Book of Han" by his secretary, Yan Shigu, and composed ten volumes of "Finger Defects" to correct his mistakes. Equivalent to the current third grade of primary school children, in order to point out the important monographs of experts and senior professors who enjoy special government allowances of the State Council, they wrote a book "Examples of Errors in XX Experts' Monographs"

Wang Bo did indeed have a native family. His grandfather's learning is very remarkable, and he is Wang Tong, who is known as the "Son of Wen Zhongzi".

In the first year of Qianfeng (666), Wang Bo was sixteen years old, and through Li Changbo' "Ode to Chenyou Dongyue", he then passed the Yusu Branch Examination and the first, and was awarded the title of Emperor Sanlang, becoming the youngest official in the imperial court. After that, he thought about the spring, wrote the "Ode to the Qianyuan Temple", the article was beautiful, and it shocked the holy listener.

When Emperor Gaozong of Tang saw this ode, singing praises of merit and virtue, and the words were beautiful and righteous, it was the work of a prodigy who had not yet reached the weak crown, and he was amazed: "Wizard, wizard, I Am a Great Tang Wizard!" Wang Bo's literary name was also greatly enhanced, and together with Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, and Luo Binwang, he was called the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty" and pushed to the first place.

After Wang Bo became a chaosanlang, he was introduced by the chief examiner to serve as a cultivator of the Pei King's Mansion and won the favor of Li Xian, the Prince of Pei. Once, Li Xian, the King of Pei, fought cocks with King Li Xian, and Wang Bo wrote a "Chicken Text of king Ying" to fight against the king of Ying's cockfighting, in order to help King Pei.

Unexpectedly, when this article reached the hands of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Shengyan was displeased, and after reading it, he was angry and sighed: "Crooked talent, crooked talent!" The Second King, As a doctor, Wang Bo, instead of exhorting, made a text (in ancient times, government announcements or documents for denouncing and exposing crimes, etc., also refers to militant criticism and denunciation of articles), deliberately fabricated, exaggerated, and this person should be immediately expelled from the palace. ”

Emperor Gaozong of Tang considered this article to be intended to stir up dissension and ordered him to be expelled from Chang'an. As a result, Wang Bo was expelled. With his own talent and painstaking efforts, he managed the newly opened career, and it was destroyed in one fell swoop.

3. Li Bai was almost beaten up for cockfighting

When Li Bai first arrived in Chang'an, he hung the Yanling sword around his waist and wore a jade belt pearl robe. Perhaps with the confusion of "cockfighting and horse-winning reading", or because of depression, with a relaxed mentality similar to "draining blood to write books and empty self-reading, not as good as a drunken song building", in short, Li Bai at that time also often went in and out of entertainment venues, fighting cocks and horses with the stupid children.

Once, he had an argument with the cockfighters during the cockfighter, and Li Bai naturally refused to give in. As a result, the other side was crowded and organized a group of outlaws to besiege Li Bai. At the moment of the first attack, Li Bai's good friend Lu Tiao did not avoid danger, moved to the picket of Yushitai, rushed through the crowd of ten thousand people, and rescued Li Bai from the north gate.

Many years later, Lu Jiao was already the county magistrate of Jiangyang County, and Li Bai finally entered the palace gate as he wished, but recalling this past is still vivid.

In addition to this story with Lu Tone, Li Bai also has a poem "White Horse" dedicated to cockfighting friends:

Dragon Horse Flower Snow Hair, Golden Saddle Wuling Hao.

Autumn frost cut jade sword, sunset pearl robe.

Cockfighting is multiplicative, Xuan Gai is high.

The bow destroyed the Southern Mountain Tiger, and the hand took the Taihang Monkey.

After drinking, he was graceful, and three cups of treasure knives.

Killing people is like mowing, drama Meng tongyou.

Angry, he went to Hangu and joined the army to Lintao.

After hundreds of battles, the Xiongnu fled.

Returning to make the wine, he did not accept to worship Xiao Cao.

Shame into the original constitution room, absurd and hidden basil.

4. Cockfighting prodigy

When Tang Xuanzong was in charge, there was a "Sacred Chicken Nursery Rhyme":

Children do not need to read, cockfighting is better than reading.

The Jia family is thirteen years old, rich and prosperous.

Can make the golden distance period win or lose, Bai Luo embroidered shirt with soft public opinion.

When his father died thousands of miles away, chafu held the road to save the funeral car.

It is written about the story of Jia Chang, the "rooster boy". During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the world was extravagant, and Xuanzong himself was also fond of cockfighting, so many people who were good at cockfighting were favored, and these cockfighters often relied on power and oppressed the good. Li Bai's "Ancient Wind and Big Car Flying Dust":

The big car flew dust, and the pavilion was dark and strange.

In the middle of the expensive gold, even the clouds open a house.

Road to the cockfighter, crown cover He Huihe.

The sniffles are dry and the pedestrians are afraid.

There is no ear wash in the world, who knows Yao and plantar!

The poem is mainly a satire of cockfighters, and Jia Chang is a representative of cockfighters.

Chang'an Xiao'er Jia Chang, who is known as the "Divine Chicken Boy", is only a thirteen-year-old teenager after all. "Children do not need to read, cockfighting is better than reading", just as "the hearts of parents in the world are ordered, and men and women are not reborn", which is a word of indignation and a portrayal of an abnormal social psychology.

"Bai Luo embroidered shirt with soft public opinion" a sentence, some people in this, ready to come out. It turns out that the current emperor loves to fight cocks and horses, so the "god chicken boy" has become a red person around the emperor. There are many poems in Tang poems that satirize the emperor, or they are used to speak of different generations, or they are cherished, and most of them are slightly elegant. Such boldness and bluntness, laughing at the emperor in pungent language, is difficult to see in literati poetry, and only folk songs can make such a quick and quick speech.

The poem depicts two scenes, one is Jia Chang's eastern tour with him, and the other is fengfu's coffin returning to Yongzhou. The first scene: "Bai Luo embroidered shirt with soft public opinion." "In the heavily guarded, tense and solemn atmosphere, a thirteen-year-old boy, dressed in a gorgeous white embroidered shirt and carrying three hundred red-crowned roosters that were crying, closely followed the emperor's majestic and luxurious soft opinion, and marched forward with great swagger, which was truly a spectacle that had never been seen in ancient times.

Tang Xuanzong's trip was to go to Mount Taishan to hold a grand ceremony of sealing Zen, boasting of his great deeds of "accepting orders from heaven" and governing the country and the people, and bringing such a special honor guard that is not of the same kind is really comical and absurd.

According to Chen Hong's "Biography of the Old Father of Dongcheng", "Thirteen years after the beginning of the new century, (Jia Chang) three hundred cage chickens, from Fengdong Yue. It is not said that he is closely following the "soft opinion", but the poem uses an almost comical technique to make this historical fact an artistic exaggeration, with a clear image and a prominent theme.

The second scene: "The chaffee holds the road to pull the funeral car." "Jia Chang's father, Jia Zhong, was a defender of Tang Xuanzong and died with him under Mount Tai." The father is precious to the son", and the officials along the way, the big red man in front of the emperor, the god chicken boy Jia Chang, did not hesitate to mobilize the people for him, recruited the people's husbands, and took care of the coffin along the way.

The deceased was not a relative of the emperor, but only the father of a cockfighting child, but forced countless laborers to shake the wind for him, which was really ironic. The words of the poem are full of ridicule, contempt and anger.

The two scenes constitute a satirical comedy. There is a group of white noses in the play, and the protagonist is Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, who is sitting in the soft public opinion. This comedy has a clear image and a strong effect, and when it is read, it is not only unbearable, but also seems to hear the voice of the people laughing and scolding at that time. This is the artistic charm of this poem.
