Kong Rong, a native of Shandong, is the 20th grandson of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism. He has been very clever since he was a child, and he is particularly interested in learning. As a descendant of the founder of Confucianism, Kong Rong naturally admired Confucianism and pursued the way of being a gentleman. However, Kong Rong also has a disadvantage that is not too bad, that is, he likes to attack and discuss current politics, and his words are particularly fierce.
In 204 AD, Cao Cao captured Yecheng, Yuan was defeated, and all his family members stayed in Yecheng. Zhen Shi, Yuan's wife, is very beautiful. Both Cao Cao and Xelloss are bound to win Zhen Shi. Soon see a scene, father and son for * * * drama. Who knows, at this time, Kong Rong jumped out and successfully attracted Cao Cao's firepower.
Kong Rong wrote to Cao Cao: "The King of Wu attacked Zhou and gave da ji to the Duke of Zhou." But Cao Cao didn't know what Kong Rong was talking about, so he asked Kong Rong what it meant. Kong Rong replied to Cao Cao: "It is natural to measure things according to the current situation." Hearing this, Cao Cao said, Yo, this man beat around the bush and scolded us! So, Cao Cao silently wrote a note for Kong Rong in his heart.
During the Jian 'an period in 2007, successive years of famine and war led to people's uprising. Considering the national economy and people's livelihood, Cao Cao asked for prohibition of alcohol in the above table. Kong Rong is an alcoholic. As soon as he heard this, he wrote a long letter to Cao Cao, expressing his unwillingness to ban alcohol. In Kong Rong's letters, there are fierce words, many of which are rude to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao is not a broad-minded person. He was angered by Kong Rong's provocation. Later, Kong Rong disliked Cao Cao more and more, thinking that he was too treacherous and made rude remarks many times, which offended Cao Cao.
Finally, Cao Cao broke out and tried to kill Kong Rong on the charge of "breaking the ceremony against heaven". Not only that, Cao Cao also killed Kong Rong's family. Kong Rong wasn't too scared. He lived in his fifties. Even if he dies now, he will never have to face Cao Cao again.
However, he suddenly thought of his two children, the boy is only nine years old and the girl is only seven years old. Kong Rong felt very sorry for them, all because he quarreled for a while, which brought trouble to his family and children. So Kong Rong pleaded with the guards who arrested him, saying that their children were still so young, and they didn't make any mistakes, so please let them live.
The guards didn't speak, but Kong Rong's daughter said, "Are there any eggs under the cover of the nest?" Sure enough, Cao Cao finally ordered the killing of Kong Rong's children. But what Kong Rong's daughter said when she died has been handed down and quoted by later generations.
