Coincidentally, according to the Warring States Policy Zhongshan Ce Nian, when the Song State was at war with Zheng State, Hua Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Song State, killed sheep and stewed soup to comfort the soldiers, leaving out his chariot groom Yang Zhen. The sheep held a grudge, so the two armies met. He left the army in a command vehicle and went straight to Zheng Jun's position. As a result, coach Huayuan was captured and Song Jun was defeated.
The idiom "forefinger and no finger" also originated from a palace coup caused by eating. In the first year of Zheng, Chu presented a turtle. A senior cadre, Zi Jia and Zi Gong, is on his way to work. Zigong's index finger trembled inexplicably, so he mysteriously told Zijia that one finger would eat foreign objects. It really works. I happened to catch up with Zheng, who was about to drink turtle soup. Knowing what happened, Gong Zheng insisted on teasing Zigong, ordered a bowl for Zigong, and deliberately refused to let Zigong drink it. The son became angry from embarrassment, put his finger into the pot, licked his finger and left. So things planted a curse, and Gong Ling was furious and prepared to cut Zigong; The son took the first step and joined the spirit whose son was killed in the coup.
Song Mingong was also killed for eating, drinking and joking. Chang Wanquan, the general of the Song Dynasty, was captured in the war with Lu and was later released back to the Song Dynasty. I used to respect you, but now you are a prisoner of Lu. I will not respect you in the future. I'm always sorry. Dr Zhou Mu advised Prince Gong Min and his ministers not to play jokes on each other. Gong Min said: We have a good relationship. It's okay to make a joke. Song Mingong played with the ladies-in-waiting and made Nangong Changwan treat his halberd as a joke. Throwing halberd is Chang Wan's stunt. Chang Wan was ordered to make a fool of himself and was praised by the imperial secretary. Father Min is jealous. Min's father-in-law likes gambling, so he gambles with Chang Wan and drinks if he loses. Wan Lian lost five games, played five penalty kicks, and was drunk to eight or nine points. If not, please reply again. Gong Min said: Captives are often defeated generals. How dare you gamble with me again? The dragon is ashamed. At this time, the angel of Zhou Wang came to report the death of King Zhouzhuang and appointed a new king. Wan asked to send an envoy to the ceremony. Min smiled and said, Even if there is no one in Song State, you can't let the prisoners become messengers. Everyone in the palace laughed. The dragon became angry from embarrassment and drank as drunk as a fiddler. At this moment, he ignored the distinction between monarch and minister and cursed, no way, you are so stupid! Did you know that prisoners can kill people? Killed Gong Min with one punch.
The cause of everything is so small that it seems incredible, but the consequences are very serious. There are deep-seated reasons behind the story. Only by analyzing and learning lessons can we avoid repeating the same mistakes and nip them in the bud. Perhaps this is one of the functions of reading history. Ouyang Xiu said in the second year of Zuo Zhuan Gong Xuan that evil tends to accumulate in the smallest place. Compared with the past, I have to admire the original vision and incisive summary of the sages.
