Kong Rong's daughter said before she died: "When the nest is overturned, are there any intact eggs?" ?This sentence has been passed down to this day and has become a famous saying through the ages. I believe everyone has heard of the story of Kong Rong Rangli. Kong Rong was talented since he was a child, good at debating, and refused to admit defeat. This has a lot to do with Kong Rong’s family background and education. Kong Rong is a descendant of Confucius and comes from a scholarly family. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao controlled the entire situation of the Han Dynasty. Kong Rong was outspoken in everything and was not afraid of offending others. He especially disliked the Cao Cao family. In the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and occupied Yecheng, Yuan Shao's base camp. Cao Cao's son Cao Pi saw that Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law Zhen was very beautiful, so he took her as his wife. After Kong Rong learned about this, he wrote a special letter to Cao Cao, mocking their family's behavior.
In fact, not only this time, Kong Rong had put forward opinions to Cao Cao many times. Because he looked down on Cao Cao, he wrote very rudely every time he wrote. Not only that, Kong Rong often openly opposed Cao Cao's system. At first, Cao Cao didn't dare to do anything to Kong Rong because of his high prestige, but later he couldn't stand it anymore. In 208 AD, Cao Cao ordered Kong Rong to be killed and his three tribes exterminated.
Before his death, Kong Rong asked Cao Cao to spare his children. At that time, his son was only 9 years old and his daughter was only 7 years old. Kong Rong said to the people sent by Cao Cao, I am responsible for everything, please forgive my children. But at this moment, Kong Rong's daughter said eight words: "Under the overturned nest, are there any intact eggs?" ?This sentence means: The nest is gone, can the eggs in the nest still survive?
Kong Rong's daughter was right. At that time, Cao Cao had made up his mind to completely eradicate the Kong Rong family, so he would not let his children go. This sentence by Kong Rong's daughter: "Under the nest, the eggs are still intact" has been passed down to this day and has become a famous saying through the ages. People nowadays usually use it to describe the pain of the whole. It is difficult for individuals in the whole to be immune to its suffering.
