There are three things in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, one is a big family, the other is a big celebrity, and the third is a celebrity style. Let's start with the big family. After the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao, as the most important minister, was one of the most trusted right-hand men of the Eastern Jin Emperor Si Marui. The Wang family became one of the most powerful families at that time, and basically dominated state affairs. Wang Dao himself is a big celebrity, but he has a younger brother named Wang Dun, but he is an ambitious man. He mastered the military power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and launched a rebellion. General Wang Dun's rebels came all the way to Shimen.
The minister of the DPRK believed that Wang Dun was Wang Dao's younger brother and must have something to do with the rebels, so he suggested that Si Marui kill the Wang Dao family. Wang Dao's family knelt in class and watched the whole family copy.
Wang Dao met his colleague, Zhou E, who is a senior official in North Korea. I hope he can put in a good word. Wang Dao said that my family's life depends on my brothers. Zhou E once worked under Wang Dun, grew up naked with General Wang Dun, and was also very close to Wang Dao. So Wang Dao begged Zhou E to intercede with the emperor. But Zhou E left without saying a word. In fact, Zhou E's eloquence is absolutely first-class. He persuaded the emperor not to kill the Wang Dao family.
Zhou E, a drunkard, walked out of the court drunk and saw hundreds of Wang Dao family kneeling outside to apologize. When Wang Dao saw Zhou E coming out, he called Zhou E's name again. Zhou E still ignored him and only said to the left and right, now kill these thieves, and you can change your official. Almost scared Wang Dao to death.
Wang Dao hated Zhou E at that time.
Later, General Wang Dun won the battle with the emperor and returned to the imperial court to regain power. Wang Dun began to purge old ministers. On the issue of how to deal with his old friend Zhou E, Wang Dun asked his eldest brother what to do.
Wang Dun said that Zhou E and Dai Ruosi are both popular figures and should be ranked in the third file, which is certain, but Wang Dao made no comment. Wang Dun said, even if you don't go public, you should be a servant. Wang Dao doesn't talk. Wang Dun said, if you can't use it, you must kill it. Wang Dao answered in silence.
Wang Dun killed Zhou E. ..
Later, when Wang Dao checked the archives, he saw many letters written by Zhou E to the emperor to save their family, only to find that he had wronged Zhou E. He was very remorseful and said that although I didn't kill Boren, he did die because of me.
We may wonder why Zhou Eming made great efforts to save the Wang Dao family. He can be said to be the savior of the Wang Dao family. Why didn't Zhou E say anything? Is Zhou E a living Lei Feng who is single-minded for profit and has no selfish interests?
In fact, it is not surprising to see the demeanor of celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties and what Zhouyi did. Wei-Jin demeanor was produced on the basis of Taoism and Buddhism, and its core was to oppose Confucian values such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom. They pursue obedience, poetry and extraordinary life, and many of their behaviors are unreasonable to us ordinary people.
In the eyes of celebrities at that time, this was grace. For example, Zhou E himself likes drinking. He claimed to be a servant for three days. According to Ren Birthday, after crossing the river for many years, Evergrande didn't sleep for three days and drank every day. When people call it three-day servant shooting. It is said that this guy got drunk at a friend's house, took off his pants on the spot and did something shameful with the host's singer.
According to Zhou E's way of doing things, it may be a favor to do something good without saying anything. In the face of death, I still don't bow my head and tell the truth in exchange for a chance to live. This is a gentleman's demeanor, just like Ji Kang, a famous celebrity, who can play a song of Guangling San smartly when the butcher knife wants to cut himself. This is the spirit and demeanor of Wei and Jin Dynasties.
