Mi Fei died of sarcasm, Yang Xiu died of guessing the leader's mind, and Kong Rong, the sage, was also killed for "gaffes".
The main content of the so-called "stumbling out" is a denial of parents' goodwill: "What kind of relationship should a father and son have? As far as its original intention is concerned, it is actually lust. What is a child to a mother? Is it also ridiculous? For example, if you send something, you will leave. "
This sentence is an "objection" that Kong Rong confided when Kong Rong and Mi Heng "rambled". Translated into vernacular, it is: Does the father have a good impression on his children? As far as its original intention is concerned, it is just a catharsis of lust. Mothers are also unkind to their children. A mother is like a crock for holding utensils. When a girl comes down, it's like pouring a vessel out of a crock.
Cao Cao, the leader of Kong Rong, believes that this remark is "a big violation of heaven and should be severely punished." Obviously, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which emphasized "filial piety governing the world", this statement was seriously taboo. Cao Cao, the leader of Kong Rong, has always despised "filial piety". Why did he suddenly attach importance to "filial piety"? After all, he was tired of his big mouth and used it as an excuse.
Kong Rong's theory of "Don't go out of line" is a single theory, but when it rises to the charge of "heavy punishment", it is definitely an expansion. In the eyes of many people, Mi Heng, Kong Rong and Yang Xiu are all "damned" because they are outspoken in officialdom and they just want to die. However, a big mouth is good for your breath. Even if it's overdone, what's the crime? Why kill the head?
Big mouth loves theory, and leaders love killing people. The most profound reason for "anti-big mouth expansion" is that the fate of "big mouth" is in the hands of others.
Back in those days, the 18th-route princes won Dong Zhuo's favor. Among the 18th-route princes, Kong Rong, the satrap of Beihai, also occupied all the way. On an equal footing with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. However, a few years later, Kong Rong became a subordinate of Cao Cao, and he could only make a living under the "Han thief".
The era of heroes in troubled times is an era of relatively fair competition regardless of rank. Although Kong Rong is a saint, as a vassal all the way, he has caught up with such an era, and he has to speak with his strength and territory. When the 18th Route Governors begged Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and Kong Rong were equal. No matter what Kong Rong said, Cao was quite respectful to Kong Taishou. After Kong Taishou became the "wage earner" of Prime Minister Cao, the situation changed greatly. Kong Rong bickering with Cao Cao again will cause the impatience of the leaders, and he is a ghost under the sword.
The three big mouths in the Three Kingdoms all had similar endings and were almost killed by the same leader. Cao Cao indirectly killed Mi Fei with the help of Liu Zuzhi, and then directly cut off Kong Rong's head with an open flame.
After the death of Mi Fei and Kong Rong, only Yang Xiu was left in Cao Cao's account. I wonder if the death of the first two confidants shocked Yang Xiu, but it's a pity that he still couldn't control his mouth. In the end, he was sentenced to death because he saw the worry of the leader and told the mystery of the "chicken rib" password.
Later generations put "Cao Cao and Yang Xiu" on the stage in order to uncover the fate of "intellectuals". In fact, what "intellectuals" get from this track is not a signal of adverse elimination: since ancient times, big mouth has no good result, and intellectuals should be "interested".
