(Picture says three kingdoms, talking about heaven and earth, No. 383 text/ impermanent Fengtian jade illustration / Oriental sleepless night)
Familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult for us to know that Cao Cao was a lustful person, and perhaps it was for this reason that he had twenty-five sons in his lifetime, which made Liu Bei and Sun Quan, who were divided into three worlds with him, hopeless. However, Cao Cao was not satisfied, and in addition to having many biological sons, he also had three adopted sons. Among his three adopted sons, the most famous one was Cao Zhen, a famous general who twice resisted Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition; the second was that his mother was taken into the back house by Cao Cao, and his father was beheaded by Zhang Fei under the sword, but he himself threatened Qin Lang in northern Xinjiang. Except for them, the remaining one has a bad reputation. Who is he?
Speaking of this, many people may have guessed that he is He Yan, who is known as "Fu Fan He Lang". He Yan (何晏), courtesy name Pingshu, was the grandson of the great general He Jin at the end of the Han Dynasty. Later, his mother became Cao Cao's concubine, and he naturally became Cao Cao's adopted son. Although he was intelligent from an early age and was extremely good at talking, he was a famous scholar of Wei and Jin, but because of his consumption of five foods and scattering, as well as becoming a henchman of Cao Shuang and relying on power and power to act arbitrarily, his reputation was not good. The idiom we are going to say today is related to his bullying of others, his refusal to listen to the persuasion of others, and his conversion to evil.
According to records, when he was serving as an official Shangshu, he once invited Guan Rui, who was good at divination, to let Guan Ru calculate a gua for himself to see if he could be ranked as the third duke. Before Guan Ren could reply, he asked again, "I have been dreaming lately that there are dozens of flies on the nose decoration, and they can't be driven away, what is this sign?" ”
After Guan Ren listened, he replied: "Xi Yuan, Kai ZhiBi Chonghua, Xuan Hui Cihe, zhou gong wing become king, sit and wait for Dan, so that it can flow of light and six, all countries Xianning." This is a matter of repercussions. Non-Bu Zheng Zhi Zhi Zhi also. Now the throne is heavy on the mountains, and the momentum is like thunder and lightning, and the huaide is rare, and the fear of power is many, and it is not careful and blessed. And the nose of the Gun, the mountain in this heaven, high and not dangerous, so the long keep guiye. Now the fly stinks, and the set is set. Those who are in a steep position are upside down, and those who are light and powerful die, and we must not think about the number of profits and the period of prosperity and decline. It is the old mountain that is humble in the earth, and the thunder in the heavens; the humble is more than the widow, and the strong is not polite. Not to harm oneself but not to be glorious, to do what is not to be done without being hurt. May the prince pursue the will of King Wen liu yao, and the righteousness of the father of sini, and then the three dukes can be decided, and the flies can be driven away. ”
This means that Guan Ren believes that the sages Bayuan and Bakai assisted Emperor Shun, who loved the people like sons; and the Duke of Zhou assisted King Zhou Cheng, wearing liver and gallbladder, these people were able to occupy high positions and become famous in the world, which was the reward they received after they paid, not because of divination. And he believes that although He Yan is in a high position, he only makes people afraid, is not respected, his nose represents a high position, and flies like to stink, and it is an ominous omen to have such a dream. If He Yan could introspect himself like the sages and regulate his behavior, the annoying flies would naturally leave, and it would no longer be difficult to rank third, otherwise it would cause disaster.
After Guan Ren finished speaking, He Yan had not yet expressed his position, and Deng Biao, who was also a henchman of Cao Shuang, interjected and said, "Aren't you a cliché?" The intention is to mock guan rut and not divinate any valuable information. Guan Ren did not argue with him, but said lightly, Lao Sheng saw people who could not survive, and long talkers saw people who could no longer talk. It is intended to show that He Yan and Deng Biao are like grasshoppers after autumn, bouncing for a few days, and they are hopeless. What He Yan and Deng Biao did not expect was that although Guan Yan's words did not sound new, they did expect their fate - the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records: "In the years of the dynasty, the northwest wind was strong, the dust covered the sky, and for more than ten days, wen Yan and Feng were all cursed." This means that the court meeting on the first day of the Chinese New Year blew up the northwest wind, and more than ten days later, the news of He Yan and Deng Biao's murder came (on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the change of Gaopingling broke out, and their patron Cao Shuang fell), and He Yan asked him to manage divination, it was on the twenty-eighth day of the waxing moon years ago, and the period before and after was not twenty days.
After the analysis of the whole text, it is not difficult for us to know that although the words of Guan Yan seemed to be more like advice than divination, He Yan and others at that time could not listen to it at all, but his words contained the truth, not only pointed out He Yan's situation, but also provided a way to crack it, but unfortunately He Yan did not listen, which led to the disaster of killing himself. From this incident, later generations also summed up an idiom, that is, "cliché", but this word retains the original meaning expressed by Deng Biao, referring to the old words that people are accustomed to hearing without new ideas. However, after the lessons of He Yan and Deng Biao, we should realize that clichés, seemingly boring, must have merit.
