? Why Ji Kang, a famous Western Jin Dynasty soldier, was killed: fraud? Friends? Steal sister-in-law
As mentioned above, the Sima Group, which apparently ruled the world with filial piety, is actually indiscriminate. It was deeply jealous of Ji Kang's attitude of never cooperating with them and openly opposing their usurpation of the throne, and soon killed them.
Sure enough, just one year after the publication of Dear Chrysanthemum Garden, Sima Group falsely accused Ji Kang with a personal letter? Debauchery, harmful to time and disorderly teaching? And sentenced him to death for this reason.
What happened was that Ji Kang's friend Lu An was raped by his brother Lu Xun. After Lu An learned about this, he was ready to report Lu Xun. I didn't want to, but the wicked complained first and falsely accused Lu An of being unfilial. Lu Xun, who had already taken refuge in Sima Group, sued Lu An, who was in the same camp as Ji Kang, and vowed not to cooperate with Sima. Sima Group, of course, is the struggle of various factions, committing crimes against Lu Anding and being sent to the frontier. In the face of his friend's innocence and injustice, Ji Kang, who had long known the whole story, was naturally indignant, and flatly wrote "Dear John", standing up for Lu An and denouncing Lu Xun's animal behavior.
From ancient times to the present, the common practice of China rulers is to separate the words and phrases in other people's articles or letters, take them out of context, and insinuate the charges on this ground. Ji Kang's impassioned letter naturally hit the muzzle of Sima Group. Soon, this letter was reported by Lu Xun, and Sima Group arrested Ji Kang for this letter.
The person in charge of hearing the case was Si Mazhao's confidant, Zhong Hui, a captain of Li Si at that time. Zhong Hui, the son of Zhong You, a gentleman, was a crazy fan of Ji Kang in his early years, although he was only two years younger than Ji Kang. Once, Zhong Hui wrote an article about the Four Books, hoping to get the guidance of Ji Kang and increase his academic prestige through the comments of famous experts. But as soon as he arrives at the idol's door, Zhong will worry that if Ji Kang asks questions about his "four books", it will be difficult for him to deal with them and it will be embarrassing. Therefore, Zhong Hui, who followed in his footsteps, did not dare to knock at the door at last, but secretly put four books under Ji Kang's window, and then ran away in three steps and two steps.
Later, Zhong Hui was gradually favored by Si Mazhao and became a red man in the imperial court. Zhong Hui, who has a successful career, decided to visit Ji Kang again. This time, in order to show respect for Ji Kang, Zhong Hui specially put on exquisite and gorgeous clothes, brought a large number of guests, and walked outside Luoyang to pay his respects to Ji Kang.
When Zhong Hui and his party arrived, Ji Kang was working under the willow tree with Xiang embroidery while the iron was hot. Ji Kang doesn't seem to like this large group of aristocratic children disturbing his quiet life, so he didn't say hello to them, but went on working hard while the iron was hot. Zhong will look at him several times eager to talk, but Ji Kang doesn't look at him. In this way, Zhong Hui and a large group of his guests silently watched Ji Kang strike while the iron was hot under the willow tree for a long time. Finally, seeing that Ji Kang never intended to receive him, Zhong Hui had to greet the guests to go home together. When he left, Ji Kang suddenly put down his hammer and asked, What did you hear? What did you see and left? ? Hearing this, Zhong Hui also replied:? Smell it, see it and go. ?
Questions and answers seem casual, but they reflect their erudition and intelligence. Because, obviously, the answers and questions come from the fifth volume of the Buddhist classic Vimalakīrti Sutra, which tells the story of Manjusri Bodhisattva's visit to Vimalakīrti. Vimalakīrti's exact words are:? Be kind to manjusri! Come without seeing. ? Manjushri's answer is:? If you are a layman, you will not come if you come, and you will not go if you go. So what? From scratch, from scratch, the visible is even more invisible. ? In other words, Ji Kang asked? What did you hear? Why did you leave? I am expressing my welcome to Jude Zhong, but I also remind him that it is very important for friends to get to know each other, so there is no need to be so deliberate. Although Zhong Hui also quoted Manjushri's reply and won back some face for himself, it is obvious that his mind is far less open-minded than Manjushri's. Since then, Zhong Hui has hated Ji Kang from love and has been looking for opportunities for revenge.
This time, Zhong will preside over Ji Kang's case as the captain, so it is natural to make good use of it and retaliate against Ji Kang. He first advised his master Si Mazhao? Ji Kang is a contemporary Wolong, and he must not be given the opportunity to display his talents. Attending the world today, carefree. Just beware of celebrities like Ji Kang who refuse to cooperate. ? In other words, comparing Ji Kang to Zhuge Liang, Sima Shi's sworn enemy, is undoubtedly the most vulnerable and sensitive nerve in Si Mazhao, which is extremely despicable.
Ji Kang, the first of the seven sages of bamboo forest, was imprisoned innocently, which caused the dissatisfaction of Wei. For a time, thousands of local heroes with great prestige wrote to ask Ji Kang to be imprisoned together, hoping to put pressure on the authorities to save Ji Kang. Facing the avalanche of letters, Si Mazhao obviously felt Ji Kang's strong political appeal, and was in a state of tension and excitement before killing his political opponents.
At this time, the waiting clock will take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. He said to Si Mazhao:? Today, the four seas are peaceful and the world is at home, but Ji Kang has always been unwilling to surrender to his master. He ignores etiquette and despises Chaogang. In the past, Jiang Ziya killed Qi people and Confucius killed Lu people because these so-called celebrities were arrogant, deluded the masses and despised etiquette; So saints hold the sword of ethics and kill it. Now Ji Kang, Lu An and others are extravagant, inciting people and slandering ethical codes, which ancient sages can't tolerate. So, master, you have to execute Ji Kang, in order to change the customs and clean the king. ? These words, learned and ingenious Zhong Hui, deliberately used the allusions of Jiang Ziya and Confucius to kill celebrities who didn't want to cooperate with them and encouraged Si Mazhao to kill Ji Kang. Si Mazhao, who had the heart to slay Ji Kang, was even more excited and confident when he heard that saints killed dissidents. At present, naw kham's death sentence has been signed. (Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao, a famous Lu scholar, which was first seen in Xunzi? Zuo Zuo, but its authenticity has been controversial. The clock here will quote this Canon, which is probably a rumor. )
Ji Kang, a famous person, was detained by the ruler because of a personal letter "Breaking Up with Friends". Debauchery, harmful to time and disorderly teaching? Sentenced to death for this crime. Such punishment seems unreasonable, but it is by no means unique to Sima Group, nor is it unique to Sima Group. As a matter of fact, the rulers of China in the past dynasties, when dealing with celebrities with independent personalities who refused to cooperate, all disdained clever case selection and conviction, but all liked to pick a case at random, deduct a charge at random, and then close the case hastily and put them to death. This seems absurd, but it has profound implications. Because only this kind of unreasonable, arbitrary and barbaric killing can fully show the absoluteness of autocracy, cause great deterrence to people's hearts and create unprecedented social terror. Therefore, such simple and absurd unjust cases can be found everywhere in the history of China. And this horrible political means has no technical content. To sum up, it can be summed up in twelve words: arbitrary arrest, hasty closure and quick execution.
In order to minimize the political risk, Ji Kang was taken to court shortly after being sentenced to death. Wei got wind of it early in the morning and quickly came from all walks of life. At dawn, 3,000 Thai students collectively wrote to Si Mazhao, asking Ji Kang to be a teacher to avoid his death. At the same time, thousands of Wei local heroes poured into Beijing from all directions to support Ji Kang. Ji Kang's close friends in North Korea, Ruan Ji and Dan Tao, also met Si Mazhao in succession, hoping to save Ji Kang's life.
The collective petition of students, the collective response of local heroes and the joint rescue of celebrities at that time undoubtedly formed a powerful political force in society. However, China's autocratic rulers never gave in to public opinion. Objectively speaking, Ji Kang's powerful political appeal accelerated his death.
Si Mazhao first quietly sent away Ruan Ji, Liu Ling and others, and then ordered a large number of troops around the execution ground to prepare for everything that might happen? An emergency? . After all the arrangements were made, he sent someone to the court to announce the decree to uphold Ji Kang's original death sentence.
As soon as this decree was read, it exploded in court. 3,000 hot-blooded students were furious, and they began to push the prison guards around the execution ground. Small-scale physical conflicts broke out around the execution ground from time to time, which can be seen everywhere. ? Release Ji Kang, release Ji Kang? The sound of wave after wave resounded through the east gate where the execution ground was located. At this time, facing soldiers, angry students, noisy execution ground, relatives and friends around him, Ji Kang's eyes are still empty and lonely. He looked back at the shadow of the sun. Knowing that it was still early, he said to his brother Ji, Brother, did you bring my guqin? ?
? I do. Here you are. ? Ji Xi choked and handed the piano to Ji Kang.
Ji Kang thoughtfully touched his beloved Pian Yu guqin, and then plucked the silver strings with his spotless hands.
Listen, Ji Kang's piano, and the noisy execution ground immediately quieted down. At first, the sound of the piano was so ethereal and elegant that people seemed to be at the top of the beautiful Emei, looking at the layers of white clouds and feeling the greatness and magic of nature. Then, the sound of the piano became impassioned, making people feel as if they were in the battlefield of blood shed, watching the succession of people with lofty ideals and feeling the tenacity and unyielding life. After a while, the sound of the piano became delicate and graceful again, making people feel as if they were on a beautiful bridge, looking at the endless spring water and feeling the eternity and perfection of nature. Ji Kang's relatives and friends, more than 3,000 students, quietly listened to Ji Kang's last piano music, and all the people present, including some soldiers and officials in charge of beheading, could not help but burst into tears. However, Ji Kang's eyes at this time are still so empty and lonely.
? Every move has a leisurely pace. The stadium is complacent, and the heart is too mysterious? (Ji Kang's "Giving Brother a Scholar to Join the Army"), Ji Kang's mood is still so detached and peaceful when he plays the piano.
Ji Kang's last stroke on Pian Yu Guqin completed a scene in China culture that will always be memorable for future generations.
? Yuan Huai asked me to teach him Guangling San, but I didn't agree. Now this Guangling Powder has become a masterpiece. ? Complete Ji Kang of China culture? Eternal moment? Say that finish, I'm a little sorry to say.
? Cut it. ? About three minutes later, a Taoist priest stood up at the command of the supervisor. If the skin is ice and snow, what if it is a virgin? With Confucianism? Wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent? The head and body are separate. Ji Kang is only thirty-nine years old.
? God is dead? . For people who follow the fashion and have a conscience, Ji Kang's murder is tantamount to? God is dead? . From then on, in the face of Sima Group's * * *, they chose to roll with the punches, and no one dared to stand up like Ji Kang and publicly expose Sima Group's false ugliness, terror and cruelty. Even? Seven sages of bamboo forest? The remaining six people, all of whom surrendered to Sima's account, did not dare to have Ji Kang's ambition (Ji Kang's best friend Xiang Embroidery, after Ji Kang's death, also obediently went to Sima's office, and in front of Si Mazhao, declared that he didn't? Mount Ji's ambition? )。
Of course, just as the masterpiece Guangling San in China's music history has been passed down to this day through Magic Secret Spectrum, Ji Kang's tall and independent personality may be strangled for a period of time, but it will be lengthened one day. As Yan Yanzhi, a famous poet in the Southern Dynasties, wrote in Ode to the Five Kings? Ji Zhongsan said:
Not even in the middle, self-sufficient. Silence is measured before the solution is formed, and the concentration is known by the theory of spitting. Set up a desire to discuss the flow, seek the mountain and discuss the hidden theory. Sometimes dragons can be tamed!
At the end of the poem? Who can tame dragons? Generosity and tragic, resounding through ancient and modern times, has always been respected by Ji Kang's admirers. Among them,? Dragon nature is difficult to practice? Later, the word evolved into a praise for people with noble personality, who dare to stick to themselves and make unremitting efforts for it (at this point, positive? Dragon nature is difficult to practice? Different from derogatory? Stubborn? )。
For us who live in a harmonious society today, we may not need to be as serious and brave as Ji Kang and pursue the absolute nobility and purity of life. But we can also pursue a high degree of life value consciousness like Ji Kang. In other words, we can highly respect our outlook on life and aesthetics, stick to our ideals and pursue our life values, respect and create? Self? Is unique.
?
In a word, although we can't do it, we'd better die than linger on, right? We can still achieve a high degree of self-identity.
