When Yang Xiu was nine years old, a man named Junping Kong came to visit Yang Biao. Because his father is not at home, Yang Xiu is busy making tea and providing fruit for Junping Kong. Junping Kong picked up a red bayberry and jokingly said, "Red bayberry, red bayberry, a veritable Yangjiaguo." Yang Xiu immediately asked Junping Kong, "Is the peacock Mr.' s poultry?" Junping Kong was stunned by Yang Xiu's wit.
When Cao Cao built the garden, the craftsmen asked Cao Cao to review the design drawings of the garden project before construction. Cao Cao said nothing but wrote a movable type on the garden door. Craftsmen don't understand its meaning, busy bother to ask Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu said: "The Prime Minister thinks the design of the garden gate is too big." The craftsmen modified the plan according to Yang Xiu's suggestion. Cao Cao was very happy to see the transformed garden gate and asked the craftsmen how they knew their ideas. The craftsmen said that thanks to Master Yang's guidance. Cao Cao praised Yang Xiu, but he was jealous of Yang Xiu's talent.
Cao Cao and Yang Xiu rode horses together. When they passed the stone tablet of Cao E, they saw the words yellow silk, young woman, grandson and mortar engraved on it. Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu if he understood the meaning of these eight words. Yang Xiu was about to answer when Cao Cao said, "Don't say it yet, let me think." It was not until he had walked thirty miles that Cao Cao said, "I have understood the meaning of those eight words." Please tell me your understanding and see if our ideas are consistent. " Yang Xiu said: "Yellow silk, colorful silk, and it is absolutely unique; Young women and girls are also better; Grandson is better for his daughter's son; It means to accept and resign. These eight words are "wonderful words" and are a compliment to Cao E's inscription. " Cao Cao exclaimed, "Your talent and wisdom make me three miles away. "
When Cao Cao Ping was in Hanzhong, he was even defeated. I want to join the army, but I'm afraid Ma Chao won't stay. I want to retreat, but I am afraid that the Shu soldiers will laugh at me and hesitate. It happened that Cao Cao entered the chicken soup. He saw the chicken ribs in the bowl and thought nothing. At this time, someone entered the account and asked for a password at night. Cao Cao casually replied: "Chicken ribs!" When Yang Xiu saw that the order was conveyed, he told the accompanying sergeant to pack his bags and prepare for his return trip. The soldiers asked why they learned that Wang Wei was going back to the division. Yang Xiu said: "From tonight's password, we know that Wang Wei's heart of withdrawing troops has been decided. Chicken ribs are tasteless, but it's a pity to discard them. If you can't win today, it's no use quitting. Might as well go back early. Wang Wei's team is here these days. I have to prepare my luggage early so as not to panic. " Cao Cao had long hated Yang Xiucai for being superior to himself, but now he saw Xiu and guessed his own thoughts. He was furious and was convicted of disturbing the morale of the army and killing him. Yang Xiu died at the age of 45.
Yang Xiu wrote many works in his life, but two manuscripts in his collection have been lost. There are several works published today, including Answer to Linzi, Festival Travel Fu, Goddess Fu, Peacock Fu and so on. Later generations have poems praising Yang Xiu.
The clever Yang Dezu has been passed down from generation to generation.
The dragon and snake walk in the pen, and the cotton in the chest becomes silk.
It's shocking, and it's the best for the champion.
What is wrong is the cause of death, not the desire to quit.

Cao Cao was stationed in the army for a long time and wanted to join the army, but Ma Chao refused to keep it. Want to retreat, but afraid of being laughed at by Shu soldiers: indecision. Suitable for officials to eat chicken soup. Cao Cao felt pregnant when he saw chicken ribs in the bowl. Is thoughtfully, Xia Houdun enter an item in an account, please night slogan. Cao Cao casually said, "Chicken ribs! Chicken ribs! " Dunchuan ordered all officials to call it "chicken ribs"
Yang Xiu, the marching master, saw the word "chicken ribs" and told the accompanying sergeant to pack his bags and prepare for his return trip. Someone told Xiahou Dun. Frightened, Dun invited Yang Xiu to his account and asked, "Why are you packing?" Xiu said, "Give orders tonight, and Wang Wei will withdraw his troops in a few days. Chicken ribs, eat no meat, throw them away. If you can't win today, it's no use returning it, for fear of being laughed at. It's better to return early: Wang Wei will transfer troops tomorrow. So pack your bags first, so as not to panic when you leave. " Xia Houdun said, "You really know Wang Wei's heart!" So I packed my bags. So all the generals in the village are ready to return to the plan.
That night, Cao Cao was flustered and couldn't sleep well, so he took a steel axe and walked around the village privately. See Xia Houdun village sergeant, all ready to pack up. Cao Cao was frightened and hurried back to the account to ask him why. Dun said, "Master Yang Dezu, the prophet, wants to return." Cao Cao told Yang Xiu to ask him, and hinted that it was a chicken rib. Cao Cao was furious and said, "How dare you make up words and disturb our army!" Those who drink knives and axes, push them and cut them, so that their heads are outside the iron gate.
…………
Cao Zhi, the third son of Cao Cao, loves to cultivate talents and often invites Xiu to talk all night. ……
Cao Cao wanted to test the talents of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. One day, make each out of the gate of Yecheng; But he sent a secret messenger to bribe the doorman not to let him go out. Xelloss arrived first, but the doorman stopped him and Xelloss had to return. Plant and smell it, ask and fix it. Xiu said, "You came out at the king's command. If there is resistance, you can fight for it. " If I plant you. At the door, the doorman stopped him. Zhi Zhi said: "I am ordered by the king, who dares to stop me!" Cut it immediately. So Cao Cao used planting as energy. Later, someone told Cao Cao, "This was taught by Yang Xiuzhi." Fucking furious, so he doesn't like planting.
Xiu also tried to answer more than ten questions for Cao Zhi. But questions can be answered according to the rules. Every time Cao Cao asks about military affairs, he answers like a stream. I have a lot of doubts when I am worried. Later, Cao Pi secretly bought about one plant and secretly took the instructions to tell Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious and said, "How dare a man cheat me!" At this time, there is already a heart-killing and heart-cultivating. Today, he was killed for disturbing the morale of the army. Hugh died at 34.
When writing about the death of Yang Xiuzhi, Luo Guanzhong seems to want to tell us that Yang Xiuzhi died because Cao Cao was "jealous". In the original words of the book: "It turns out that Yang Xiu was jealous of Cao Cao because of his generosity." Then, through six short stories to prove his point of view. First, Cao Cao wrote a word "live" on the door of the garden. Originally, Cao Cao wanted to show off his talent, but this guy Yang Xiu didn't give him face, and insisted on wearing Cao Cao's peep show-a taboo of Cao Cao. Second, the guests from afar sent a box of cakes to Cao Cao, who ate them alone. In our modern words, it is to show off cleverness-Cao Cao's "evil". Third, Cao Cao wanted to kill people in his dream to warn everyone, but Yang Xiu insisted on exposing Cao Cao's "worse" in front of everyone. Fourth, Yang Xiu told Cao Pimi to invite Song Chaolong Wu Zhi to enter the imperial court for discussion, but he was framed by Wu Zhi's machinations. Cao Cao thinks that Yang Xiu is framing Cao Pi, Cao Cao's "worse place". Fifth, Cao Cao wanted to try the talents of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, but Yang Xiu insisted on teaching Cao Zhi how to do it. The result was discovered by Cao Cao, which ruined Cao Cao's "great anger". Sixth, Yang Xiu answered Cao Zhi's question and was told by Cao Cao that Cao Cao was "furious". These six things forced Cao Cao step by step, and finally killed Yang Xiu under the pretext of "chicken ribs" incident and "disturbing the morale of the army", which became the objective reason why Yang Xiu was killed by Cao Cao. As we all know, Luo Guanzhong has an obvious tendency to respect Liu and belittle Cao in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The author's original intention is to belittle Cao. No wonder he also tried to exaggerate and belittle Cao in this passage. The reason why everyone thinks that Cao Cao is a "talent who avoids Yang Xiu" is from here.
To really understand the reason why Yang Xiu was killed, the key is to understand Luo Guanzhong's words: "It turns out that Yang Xiu was arrogant because of his talents and made several taboos against Cao Cao." What does Cao Cao "avoid"? Cao Cao's "taboo" is that Yang Xiu doesn't give him face. With regard to face, this is the most important thing in China tradition. As the saying goes, "People have faces, but trees have skins". Yang Xiu repeatedly humiliated Cao Cao, making Cao Cao jealous of him. This is the taboo of being a slave. Slaves are "dogs" that help their masters bite people. How can he bite his master in turn and lose face?
Yang Xiu was a talented person, an elite among ancient intellectuals, and his position and occupation were similar to those of Chen Bulei around Chiang Kai-shek. His talents are wit, intelligence and eloquence, and he relies on his own talents. He was deeply appreciated by Cao Cao and was entrusted with the post of "knowing what is common and what is outside". He has become a spin doctor counselor around Prime Minister Cao Cao and should be regarded as an important official. After Guangmen incident, a box of cakes incident, Cao Cao's dream murder incident and Wu Zhi incident, Cao Cao hid his ill feelings in Yang Xiu's heart and secretly avoided them. Until later, Yang Xiu secretly stepped in to abolish the prince, which caused Cao Cao's extreme dissatisfaction and jealousy. The History of the Three Kingdoms records how Cao Cao handled it: "Mao was afraid that the world would change and he was quite talented, and Yuan's nephew was also punished for his crime." During the Hanzhong War, Cao Cao found an excuse casually, accusing him of killing Yang Xiu, and then gave him a heavy funeral and many items to show his comfort to his relatives. Cao Cao, a white-faced traitor, has always been very clever in using the method of killing and then burying, so that outsiders can't see a trace of selfishness and personal grievances, giving outsiders the impression that Cao Cao had to bite the bullet and not kill. Cao Cao's performance was really brilliant. Although it was like a cat crying a mouse, it was ten times more cloudy than when Kong Ming beheaded Ma Su with tears in his eyes. The details of Yang Xiuzhi's death are the most detailed and vivid in Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although it is a romantic novel, there are no clues about Cao Cao's murder of Yang Xiu. Instead, he handled the "chicken rib incident" impartially, exercised serious military discipline, and beheaded Yang Xiu in accordance with the law, which was flawless, eliminating a hidden danger in his heart and relieving the worries after a hundred years. In Cao Cao's eyes, why kill a Yang Xiu for the sake of the stability of Cao Jia's great cause in the future? In fact, in the relationship between Cao Cao and Yang Xiu, the essence of the relationship between rulers and intellectuals in ancient feudal society in China has been the most intuitive and concentrated display. The feudal rulers of past dynasties had great doubts about intellectuals and had to use them to maintain the operation of the ruling system. Someone once compared this relationship vividly to the relationship between skin and hair. What will hair do if the skin doesn't exist? The feudal rulers looked down on intellectuals outside their families in their bones. They regard themselves as skins and intellectuals as hairs. As long as the skin is intact, it doesn't matter if you pull out a few hairs. Even if you take off a layer of hair, you will naturally grow new hairs. Therefore, on the land of China, there have been bloody historical tragedies such as Qin Shihuang burning books to bury Confucianism, killing three scholars with two peaches, and Zhu Yuanzhang plotting to kill his ministers. The ancient intellectuals in China, whose hair was attached to the cowhide of imperial power, naturally could not dominate their own destiny, thus demonstrating endless personal struggles. The long river of history has swallowed up the aspirations of countless literati elites, such as Qu Yuan, Du Fu, Lu You, Han Yu and Li Si. , both magnificent and sad!
Yang Xiu, as an adviser in feudal times, was a typical figure among the ancient intellectuals in China. If objectively evaluated, this gentleman's talent and knowledge are outstanding, and the judgment, analysis, judgment and prediction of the psychological activities of Prime Minister Cao Cao are also quite accurate, rapid and agile, with certain foresight. It is precisely because of the accuracy of this foresight that Yang Xiu lost his mind and his own life. Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, and several ancient intellectuals were persecuted, which is the most typical vicious unjust case. When Yang Xiu goes to the underworld, he will still feel uneasy, and his ghost will not disperse easily.
Analysis of Yang Xiuzhi's Death Cause
Because of his family background and intelligence, Yang Xiu was famous at that time. (Note: In Shi Shuo Xin Yu, it is often said that "Yang Xiu is nine years old and very clever". Junping Kong is absent for his father's sake. Yang was appointed Junping. There is also the fruit Myrica rubra, Junping Xiang Xiuxiu: This is the real fruit of your family. Answer: I haven't heard that peacocks are masters of poultry. "On one occasion, Yang Xiu was mistaken for Yang Xiu, but it wasn't. According to Qi Zhi, it is called "Yang Jinxiu" and it is human, so it is quite clear that the two Yang Xiufei are one person. During Jian 'an, he was promoted to doctor Xiao Chu and served as the main book of the Prime Minister's Office. Introspection said, "At that time, militarists participated in many things and knew everything from the outside to the inside." Later, in the autumn of twenty-four years of Jian 'an, Cao Cao was executed (Yang Xiu's tomb was near Wanhe Village at the foot of Huashan Mountain, and now only a tombstone stands on the site of Wei Great Wall in the southwest of the village), and Cao Cao also died about three months after Yang Xiu's death.
According to the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yang Xiu died of "arrogance" and Cao Cao was jealous of talents, so he was killed in Hanzhong for Cao Cao's "chicken ribs" excuse. In fact, Yang Xiu didn't die in Hanzhong, and Yang Xiu's death was more for political reasons than just because of his talent.
First of all, let's talk about where Yang Xiu died, and whether Cao Cao killed him in Hanzhong because of "chicken ribs". The so-called "chicken ribs" do exist. It can be found in the appendices of Yang Biao and Yang Xiu in the History of the Three Kingdoms, History of the Later Han Dynasty and Biography of Yang Zhen. The meaning is slightly different. The full text of "The History of the Later Han Dynasty" is as follows: "I am good at literature and eager to learn, and I am a talented person. I am the Prime Minister Cao Cao, using Cao Shi. And Cao Cao, since Pinghanzhong, wants Liu Bei, so he can't enter, and it's hard to keep. The guards don't know what to do. Cao Cao then taught him, saying, "Chicken ribs". Outside Neng School, the student said, "If you eat chicken ribs, you will get nothing. It would be a pity if you abandoned them. "In order to make the outside world stricter, Cao Cao is here to return Li. There are many such repairs. I tried to travel again, and asked some questions about foreign affairs when I planned the exercise. Instead, I answered questions and guarded my house: "I will pass orders in turn. "As expected. If there is, blame the speed, be cheaper, know the situation and avoid repairing it here. Yuan Shu's nephew, worried about future trouble, was killed. There are fifteen poems, ode, tablet, ode, poem, mourning, table, note and book written by Xiu. The article did not say that Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu because of "chicken ribs", especially the latter sentence "There are many such things", which shows that this incident is only an example. When talking about Yang Xiu's death, he only said that he was killed because of something. According to Pei's note in Biography of the Three Kingdoms and Cao Zhi, "By the autumn of twenty-four years, he was killed by leaking words and teaching before and after the public repair, and making friends with princes. ..... More than 0/00 days after Trip's death, Mao died. It is plain that Yang Xiu died in the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an. Looking up the Records of the Three Kingdoms and the Ji of Emperor Wudi, we can see that Cao Cao's activities in the twenty-four years of Jian 'an were like this: "In the first month of the spring of the twenty-four years, he was benevolent and slaughtered." Xia and Liu Bei fought in Yangping and were killed for preparing for war. In March, Wang went out from Chang 'an to the oblique valley, and the army covered Hanzhong, so he went to Yangping. Be prepared to refuse to defend because of the risk. In the summer of May, the army returned to Chang 'an. In autumn and July, his wife Bian Shi is the queen. He was sent to stop Coss from attacking Guan Yu. In August, the Hanshui River flooded, the imperial army irrigated, the army failed, the feather was forbidden, and Renwei was surrounded. Let Huang Xu save it. In September, Zhong You sat to the west of Cao Cao, satirizing Wei. In October, the army returned to Luoyang. Sun Quan sent a letter begging Guan Yu to help him. The feather went south from Luoyang, but before it arrived, it shook and attacked the feather, broke it, retreated the feather and untied the benevolence. Mobei, Wang Jun. Twenty-five years in the spring of the first month, to Luoyang. The right to strike a feather and pass it on. It is recorded here that Cao Cao marched into Hanzhong in March and returned to Chang 'an in May. In August and September, Guan Yu was broken when he went south from Luoyang to Mobei to save Coss, so he returned to Luoyang in October and never returned to Hanzhong again. Because Yang Xiu died in the autumn of twenty-four years, Cao Cao died more than one hundred days after his death. According to Cao Cao, he died on Gengzi Day in the first month of twenty-five years. Therefore, Yang Xiu should have died in September, the 24th year of Cao Cao's rescue of Coss, no later than October. Therefore, Yang Xiu died in Hanzhong because of "chicken ribs". Because after the death of Yang Xiu, Cao Cao once wrote a letter to Yang Biao to express his condolences: "Cao Cao shared the great interests at home and abroad with his first step, never left it behind, and was assisted by wise men. Compared with China, it is peaceful, but it is not a foreign country. Today's army has a big levy, and the people are disturbing it. I make the sound of bells and drums, the main book should be kept, and the first step is a wise son, relying on the power of your father, and I don't share it every time. I just want to be straight. I hate it. It is said that it can be changed, so it is very relaxing. If you repay the loan, you will be punished. It's not necessarily lucky to miss your father's love and mourn Chu. Present two collars of foot-treading brocade and fur, one peach stick with eight silver horns, three green felt mattresses, 500 official silks, 600,000 yuan, one painting wheel, seven fragrant cars, two green oxen, one horse with eight hundred flowers, ten pairs of red glory and gold saddles, one bell bud and two drivers. Woven into a measuring flower, which is interesting to Tsing Yi and has been around for a long time. Although the gift is thin, it shows my heart. The first step is to accept generously and don't toss back and forth. " In the book, there is a saying that "today's army is big, and the people are disturbing it." I make the sound of bells and drums, and the main book should be kept ",indicating that Yang Xiu died in the army, so it is certain that Yang Xiu died in Cao Cao's conquest of Guan Yu's" Mobei Army in the Army ".
Yang Xiu's capital crime is unknown now, but his cause of death is more complicated, mainly because of two political factors.
First, Yang Xiu made a taboo in the ancient kingship struggle and participated in the power struggle.
Second, the identities and political ideas of Yang Biao and Yang Xiu conflict with the interests of Cao Wei regime. Mrs Yang Biao is Yuan Shu's daughter, Yang Xiu is Yuan Shu's nephew, and Yang Biao and Yang Xiu's political views are consistent with Kong Rong and Mi Fei, so they are jealous of each other.
When Yang Xiu was first appointed as the prime minister's main book, he was deeply trusted by Cao Cao. "Biography of the Three Kingdoms and Cao Zhi" said that "twenty-five years' cultivation is based on the talents of a certain childe, and the tools of Mao are also", and that "it is the right time to tell everything in the army. Now that Wang Wei has retired, he has tried his best to be a friend. " Looking at these two paragraphs, we can see two problems. First, Yang Xiu's talent is outstanding, so he was appointed as the editor-in-chief of Cao Cao's Both Inside and Outside, All the Best. In this way, Cao Cao should pay more attention to him and trust him at this time, otherwise he will not be given this position. Second, we can see from the sentence "Wang Wei has left and tried his best to be friends" that even Prince Pi wanted to curry favor with him at that time, and the word "He" also showed that there were many people who curry favor with him, not just the Prince, and it was conceivable that his position was important at that time. On the other hand, it can also prove that Yang Xiu should be trusted and relied on by Cao Cao at this time, and the relationship is relatively close. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the situation that "Wang Wei has gone out of office and is striving for friendship".
At that time, Cao Cao was hesitant about Cao Pi or Cao Zhi who would succeed Wang Wei as a prince.
Cao Zhi is a famous writer in the history of our country. Although Cao Piwen is also considerable, as far as literary talent is concerned, Cao Piwen's attainments in poetry and fu are longer than his brother Cao Zhi's. Therefore, Cao Cao, as a military strategist, politician, poet and many other outstanding literary talents in the Three Kingdoms period, may begin to be more inclined to Cao Zhi in his heart. Because Cao Cao has a poet's wild temperament, Pei Songzhi quoted the biography of Cao Zang as saying: "Mao is easy to lose weight, good at music, and advocates Excellence, often until dusk. Dressed lightly, I will wear a small pocket to hold towels and exquisite things, or wear a hat to meet guests. Every time I talk to people, tease them and laugh happily, they eat and drink so easily, and Cao Zhi is quite fatherly. "Biography of Cao Zhi" says that he is "simple in nature and does not care about dignity. "Ma Yu's clothes are not gorgeous," he said. He was good at writing since he was a child. "After the age of ten, he read poetry, spoke hundreds of thousands of words, and wrote well. Taizu tasted it and said, "Are you evil? "Zhi knelt down and said," What you said is what you said, and what you wrote is what you wrote. You should be interviewed. Who are you? "At that time, Ye Tongjue Taiwan New Town, Mao learned that all the philosophers were going to go to power and let them do their jobs. Planting aid is a great achievement, which is very different from Mao. Answer every time I see a problem, so Cao Cao "loves him." "Biography" records: "Cao Zhicai is different, rockett, Ding Kuang, wing. Mao is suspicious, and a few are princes. "That is to say,' s almost become a prince several times. Among them, Ding Yi, Ding Ke and Yang Xiu, as the backbone of Cao Zhi's think tank, played a great role, but Ding Yi and Ding Ke brothers had personal grievances with Cao Pi. The cause of the incident was that Cao Cao felt that Ding Yi's father advised him to see the contribution of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty and wanted to marry his daughter. As a result, Cao Pi dissuaded him from saying that Rockett had bad eyes. As a confidant of Cao Cao, Yang Xiu must be the object of contention between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi. As a world-famous wit, Cao Zhi may be more interested in Yang Xiu, and Cao Zhi's "special love" at this time is also positive, so Yang Xiu took part in this cruel struggle for power.
However, although Cao Zhi and Cao Pi are superior in literary talent, it should be said that Cao Pi is superior in politics and military affairs. And the think tanks around them are different. Cao Pi's think tanks are Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhi and Zhu. The Book of Jin says that these four people are called four friends around Cao Pi. Among these four people, Sima Yi and Chen Qun's political talents and strategies should be recognized as the best choice among the counsellors in the Han and Wei Dynasties. Wu is deep in calculation and good at literary talent, Zhu. However, Cao Zhi's think tanks are all scribes with little political and military experience, far less sophisticated than Sima Yi, Chen Qun and Wu, and naturally they will suffer in the struggle. There is a record in Pei's biography of the Three Kingdoms Cao Zhi that the so-called "gifted scholar" was defeated by Wu Zhi, who was only a long history at that time, which directly led to Cao Zhi's suspicion: "In the twenty-five years of Xiu, a gifted scholar, Mao and Ding Yi both wanted to take plants as their heirs. The prince suffered from it and was abandoned in the car. The singers of the imperial palace were Wu Zhi and Mou. It's too late to take the exam with Bai Taizu. The prince was afraid, told the quality and said, "What's the matter? Tomorrow, you will be confused by the silk car. If it is repaired, it will be white, and if it is white, it will be pushed. Without inspection, you will suffer. "The prince followed, and the fruit was white, but no one was there. Mao suspected it." Sun Tzu's art of war has a cloud, know yourself and know yourself, and fight every battle. Wu Zhi can be said to be the enemy and know yourself, fighting a hundred battles, and Yang Xiu has a bad reputation. It's a pity that he is not as wily as Wu Zhi, and his thoughts and actions are all in his expectation, so he was assassinated, and his master Cao Zhi was also suspected. It's really hard to say The rest, such as explaining that the word "live" added by Cao Cao in the newly-built garden gate is too wide, explaining that Cao Cao wrote "one-in-one crisp" as one crisp, and Cai Yong inscribed "yellow silk young woman, grandson mortar" as "wonderful and good". (3), can only explain Yang Xiu smart, but also can only say that he is smart. Since then, because Cao Zhi's literary talent is excellent, he is really no match for him, and he is anxious to "lose himself". Wu Zhi once again reversed the situation, which made Cao Cao have another view of Cao Zhi: "Wang Wei tasted the war, and the prince and Hou Zhi were sent to the roadside. Plant said merit, words have chapters, left and right eyes, Wang Yi Yue Yan. When the prince was disappointed, Wu Zhier said, "Wang Dangxing can shed tears. "Besides, you cry and worship, and your left and right sides are salty and sad, so they are all sincere." Wu is very thoughtful this time, which is much more practical than the crossword puzzle.
In this way, under the planning of the four friends, Cao Pi gradually gained the upper hand in the battle for official positions. At the same time, he launched a public relations offensive in time to shape his image. "Emperor Wen faked it by art, and (Cao Cao) was around the imperial secretary, saying it" (5). At the same time, Jia Xu, Cao Cao's counsellor, and others were wooed, and the poet's wild wind often broke out in Cao Zhi's body. "Wild planting, no self-stimulation, and unrestrained drinking" (6), Cao Zhi begins. At this time, another great event happened, that is, Cao Zhi galloped on the Chidao of Yecheng, the capital of Wei State. Chi Dao is a special way for Cao Cao as Wang Wei. In doing so, Cao Zhi could call himself Wang Wei, so Cao Cao was furious, and the result was that "the bus let him sit dead." Therefore, the princes banned it, and the pets declined "(7). Cao Pi's last and most important role as a prince is a sentence from Jia Xu, Cao Cao's counselor. According to the legend in the reflection and Jiaxu, "At that time, Wendi was a general with five senses, while Hou Zhicai, who was dying, was famous and had different parties to discuss how to seize the clan. Emperor Wen asked people about the skill of self-reliance, saying, "May the general restore respect for morality, devote himself to the career of scholars, and work day and night, without violating the teachings of his children. "That's all." Emperor Wen followed it and was deeply motivated. Mao tried to screen out the left and right sides and asked Xu, Xu hey was wrong. Mao said, "What's the point of not answering your words?" Xu Wei said, "It is appropriate to think, so it is not for the ears." Mao said, "What do you think?" Xu said, "I miss Liu Jingsheng." Mao laughed, so the prince decided. "Therefore, despite his poetic temperament, Cao Cao is first and foremost a politician. Jia Xu showed him the advantages and disadvantages and lessons of that era on the issue of heirs. For him, maintaining the stability and longevity of the regime after death is the first priority, and everything else can give way, including his own personal likes and dislikes. Guo Jia, Yu Xun and others all said that he was good at judging his own strengths, so he immediately made a decision. In the 22nd year of Jian 'an, Cao Pi was named Wang Wei. After Cao Zhi lost power and influence, Yang Xiu once deliberately alienated Cao Zhi, but because Cao Zhi was Cao Cao's son after all, he dared not be too obvious, so he kept a certain density. It can also be seen that he is relatively lacking in political adaptability.
However, after dealing with the issue of heirs, Cao Cao immediately started from a political point of view, considering the consequences of the dispute between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, because there were a group of counselors around him, and Cao Cao knew the power of counselors, so in the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an, Yang Xiu was finally beheaded in the army to save Coss. "The History of the Three Kingdoms" says: "Mao has been worried about its changes from beginning to end, and he is quite talented. Yuan's nephew is also guilty."
Here, first of all, I said "the change from beginning to end", plus "the ingenious plan" and "Yuan's nephew", so I killed him. It can be seen that he was killed not only because he participated in the seizure of office, but also because of his "talent policy" and "Yuan's nephew".
However, it is only a talented strategy that will not be beheaded by Cao Cao. Cao Cao's advisers and ministers are like countless carp crossing the river, Jia Xu, Yu Xun and Xun You, uncles who know the art of war and politics, and Cheng Yu, who is courageous and resourceful. These people are far more capable in military and political affairs than Yang Xiu, but they were not killed by Cao Cao because of their talent. "Nephew Yuan" can't be killed alone, just like Pound is famous for his bravery under Ma Chao, his own brother is an official under Liu Bei, and Cao Cao used him and Coss to deal with Guan Yu (9). It can be seen that even if he is talented and Yuan Shu's nephew, he will not be killed. The second reason is that Yang Xiu and Cao Cao have different political views, so they are taboo.
Yang Xiu's father, Yang Biao, was an orthodox Confucian, while Cao Cao was an informal reformer. In the first year of Jian 'an, when Cao Cao welcomed into Xuchang, the capital of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, Yang Biao, as a minister, had some opinions on Cao Cao. "Take the first year, from the east. On the same day, the son moved to a new house, and the general assembly was promoted to secretary. Yanzhou secretariat Cao Cao went to the temple and was unhappy when he saw the tiger color. I was afraid of this picture, but I didn't get a party, so I got sick and went to the toilet. I went back to the camp. And "(Jian' an) four years, returning to worship too often, exempt from ten years. "Eleven years, who is kind to hou, hou. It is obvious that the left hand of Han Dynasty will be exhausted, which means that the foot contracture will no longer work, and it will accumulate for ten years "(10). Take the History of the Three Kingdoms as an example. In May of the eighteenth year of Jian 'an, the Emperor ordered Lv Chi, an ancient imperial adviser, to hold a ceremony and ordered Cao Caowei. In the summer of May of the twenty-first year, he was promoted to Wang Wei. This cloud "... Biao met the generals of Han Zuo in the eleventh year of Jian 'an". The reason is that in the first year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao was "angry" when he saw the son of heaven. Therefore, in the second year of Xingping, Cao Cao implicated Yang Biao in the case of Yuan Shu's tyrannical son of heaven on the grounds that Mrs. Yang Biao was Yuan Shu's daughter, with the intention of getting rid of this political enemy. At this time, another minister, Kong Rong, who had always opposed Cao Cao politically, made friends with Yang Biao. When he heard about this, he didn't even have time to wear a royal costume, so he came to see Cao Cao and said, "Yang Gong IV was virtuous and admired by the whole country. In Zhou Shu, the sins of father and son are different, so Yang Gong was accused by Yuan. "Yi" called "Ji Yu", which is just a lie. Cao Cao argued: "The meaning of this country. "Kong Rong immediately said," If the King of Qi killed Shao Gong, can the Duke of Zhou say that he doesn't know evil? " And continue to blackmail Cao Cao, "if you kill innocent people today, you will listen at home, who will not collapse!" "Kong Rong, a native of Lu, will leave tomorrow." At this time, Cao Cao's foundation in the DPRK was shaky, his wings were not yet full, and he had to buy people's hearts with celebrities such as Kong Rong, so he had to "manage the tiger." And Kong Rong, also a savage who is good at speaking freely, had several unpleasant experiences with Cao Cao when he was carrying out the new order. Cynical. At that time, because of frequent wars and famines, the people were miserable, and Cao Cao ordered the prohibition of alcohol in order to save food. Kong Rong wrote sarcastically to Cao Cao, saying, "There is a star of wine flags in the sky, and the county of Jiuquan is located on the ground. People have the virtue of wine, Yao can't be holy without drinking a thousand bells. Besides, when Lv Chi, an adviser to the ancient empire, learned about this, he was "relieved of being an official". Knowing that he "has no electricity at home and the guests are full every day", he also "often sighs:" The guests are always full, and the wine in the bottle is not empty, so I have no worries "; After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, Cao Pi married Zhen Shi, the wife of Shaoziyuan, and quipped, "The King of Wu attacked Zhou and gave da ji to the Duke of Zhou." Cao Cao, because Kong Rong was learned, thought it was recorded in a book biography, so he asked the source of Kong Rong. Kong Rong said "it's only natural" (1 1), so Kong Rong was finally killed by Cao Cao under an excuse. His best friend Mi Fei was exiled to Liu Biao because he looked down on Cao Cao. The result was not liked by Liu Biao, but was killed by Huang Zu of Liu Biao. When commenting on Xu Changren, Mi Fei said "Kong Wenju, the eldest son, and Yang Dezu, the youngest son", which means that only these two people are taken seriously, and the others are insignificant. Kong Rong praised Liu Bei more than Cao Cao, and they despised Cao Cao and important officials of Cao Wei, such as Yu Xun, Chen Qun and Sima Yi (12). Therefore, it can be said that they are opposed to the Cao Wei regime everywhere. Unfortunately, they have no ability and strength to confront it politically and militarily, so they can only take advantage of it verbally and finally be cut off by Cao Cao. So the second reason why Yang Xiu died was that he was a member of the political camp opposed to Cao Cao, not just because he was talented, but because he was Yuan Shu's nephew.
