During the Three Kingdoms period, Kong Rong was a very famous person. Besides the legendary story of Jean Pierre, there are many things that many people admire. Kong Rong, a native of Shandong, is the 20th generation grandson of Confucius, whose father is Kong Zhou, who was a captain of Mount Tai and whose brother is Kong Bao. Kong Wenju was a child prodigy when he was very young. At the age of ten, he joined his father in Luoyang. At that time, famous people in Luoyang often closed their doors and threatened not to enter my Li family's door unless they were great scholars. Kong Rong, who was only ten years old, was unconvinced and went to visit alone.
Kong Rong is a snob. He taunts each other when he doesn't like it, and so does his boss, Cao Cao. However, Kong Rong was not against Cao Cao from the beginning. He once pinned his hopes of rectifying the Han Dynasty on Cao Cao. The relationship between Kong Rong and Cao Cao became more and more tense after Cao Cao seized the real power.
Kong Rong was a genius when he was young. In ancient times, most of these people embarked on official careers, and Kong Rong was no exception. At that time, Cao Cao had a great influence. Some people say that if he wants to show his talent, he must have a good relationship with Cao Cao, but Kong Rong disdains to associate with people like Cao Cao. From this point of view, he really has personality and is not afraid of power.
Cao Cao always loves talents and knows people well. He made Kong Rong the minister in charge of engineering construction. Kong Rong performed well in his post, and Cao Cao spoke highly of him. However, Cao Cao is also a jealous person, especially an arrogant and edgy person like Yang Xiu. It's a pity that Kong Rong is such a person. Kong Rong worked for Cao Cao, but he was self-righteous and pretentious, even dismissive of Cao Cao, thinking that Cao Cao was inferior to himself in both knowledge and ability. Kong Rong can always come up with various reasons to refute other people's ideas. He also thinks that he is comprehensive and can think from an angle that others can't see. Over time, others think that he is deliberately arguing and is very annoying. Moreover, Kong Rong likes to entertain literati at home, which aroused Cao Cao's suspicion. Just then, someone falsely accused Kong Rong, and Cao Cao took this opportunity to kill Kong Rong and his family. It's sad that Kong Rong, who is so pretentious, didn't even give him a body in the end.
