Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 673

[Analysis of Allusions in “Song of Righteous Qi”]

is in the Qi Taishi Jian:

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Cui Zhu, a doctor of the State of Qi, killed the Duke of Qi Zhuang, the king of the State of Qi. The Tai Historian of Qi State wrote in the annals: “Cui Zhu killed his king”. Cui Zhu was furious and killed the Taishiguan. Taishi’s two younger brothers continued to record truthfully in this way, and both were killed. Taishi’s third younger brother still wrote like this, so Cui Zhu had to pardon him. At that time, historians from all over the world heard the news, and they all ran to the gate of the palace to line up, planning to continue writing after the third child died.

In Jin Donghu’s pen:

Duke Ling of Jin thought Zhao Dun was in the way, so he sent assassins to assassinate Zhao Dun. Zhao Dun had no choice but to leave, but before he escaped abroad, Zhao Dun’s clansman Zhao Chuan raised troops and killed Duke Ling of Jin.

Jin Taishi Dong Hu wrote in the history books: “Zhao Dun killed his king” and “shown it to the court”. Zhao Dun said to Dong Hu, “I did not kill the regicide.”

Dong Hu said, “You are Zhengqing. You fled and did not leave the country. The king was killed. After you came back, the person who did not kill the regicide is of course equal to you. Kingkiller.”

No matter how intimidating Zhao Dun was, it was useless, so Ren Donghu had to record it.   In Qin Zhang Liangzhu: Zhang Liangzu had been the prime minister of South Korea for five generations. After South Korea was destroyed by Qin Shihuang, he wanted to avenge South Korea. He found a strong man who held a 120-jin

big vertebra and ambushed him in Bolangsha .

Qin Shihuang, missed. Later, Zhang Liang assisted Liu Bang in establishing the Han Dynasty and granted him the title of Marquis Liu.

On the Han Su Wu Festival: There is no need to explain this.

The head of General Yan:

The allusion of Yan Yan in the Three Kingdoms once said: There are only generals who beheaded, but no generals who surrendered.

Blood for Ji Shi:

Ji Shao, the eldest son of Ji Kang, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, served as a servant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Jin Hui (that stupid emperor who asked “Why not eat minced meat” when the common people couldn’t eat), the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out in the Jin Dynasty. Ji Shao, who was a servant at that time, stepped forward to stop him.

So Ji Shao was killed, and Ji Shao’s blood splashed on the emperor’s clothes.

When a servant wanted to wash off the blood from Emperor Jin Hui’s clothes, even the stupid

Emperor Jin Hui would say, “This is the blood from Ji Shi, don’t wash it off!” He served as the prefect of Suiyang (now Shangqiu, Henan).

During the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Siming of Anlu Mountain rebelled, which is the “Anshi Rebellion” in history. An Lushan army invaded Beijing, Zhang Xun defended Suiyang, and every time he went to the battle to supervise the battle, Zhang Xun shouted so loudly that his teeth cracked.

After the city was broken and captured, Zhang Xun refused to surrender, but continued to shout loudly. Later, the soldiers of the rebel army checked his teeth and found that the teeth were all crushed, and only three remained in the end.

For Yan Changshan Tongue:

During the Anshi Rebellion, Anlu Mountain rebelled in Hebei, and all cities in Hebei surrendered. Only Yan Gaoqing, the prefect of Changshan, and Yan Zhenqing, the prefect of Pingyuan, raised troops to fight against the bandits.

At the beginning, Yan Gaoqing was recommended by An Lushan to become the prefect of Changshan. Yan Gaoqing raised troops against An Lushan, but An Lushan sent troops to defeat him and captured him. Faced with An Lushan’s threats, Yan Gaoqing was unyielding and kept cursing An Lushan. An Lushan sent someone to cut off Yan Gaoqing’s tongue, but Yan Gaoqing continued to curse until she died.

After Yan Gaoqing’s death, the Yan family was also killed by An Lushan. After the Anshi Rebellion, Yan Zhenqing returned to Changshan, found the bodies of his elder brother Yan Gaoqing and his nephew’s family, and wrote the “Manuscript of Sacrifice to Nephew” with great grief.

Or a Liaodong hat, clearing Li Bingxue:

In order to avoid the war, Guan Ning lived in seclusion in Liaodong (now Liaoyang, Liaoning). The emperors of several generations of Cao Wei recruited Guan Ning to serve as an official several times, but he did not accept the order, and he was unwilling to do deceitful things for Cao Wei. After the Central Plains were stabilized, those who fled to Liaodong returned one after another. Only Guan Ning continued to give lectures in Liaodong. He often wears a black hat, gives lectures in peace and poverty, and is famous all over the world.

The idiom “severing seats and breaking diplomatic relations” is to describe Guan Ning’s integrity.

Or for being a teacher, ghosts and gods cry heroically: Needless to say.

Or to cross rivers and boats, generously swallow Hu Jie:

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the patriotic general Zu Ti led his troops to the northern expedition. When crossing the Yangtze River, he tapped his oars and vowed to set the Central Plains in the north, and later regained the lost land south of the Yellow River.

Or in order to attack the thief Wat, the reverse vertical head was broken:

During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty, the warlord Zhu Xi conspired against him and asked Duan Xiushi to discuss matters in his mansion. Duan Xiushi refused to join forces, so he hit Zhu Xi’s head with a wat board from the Shang Dynasty, and cursed him as a traitor. Later, Duan Xiushi was killed because of this.

———————————

These allusions are not in the history of the book. But it can be replaced with the heroic deeds that appeared in this world, and nested in it to form the “Song of Righteousness” of this world.

It’s not that I didn’t finish writing, I deliberately left it in the middle, my lords…
