Classic history short story, the first day, 1
Zhang Ling, whose name was Jin Meng, was one of the four great talents in Jiangnan in Ming Dynasty. Besides him, Tang Bohu, Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhiming are all famous figures.
Zhang Ling has been reluctant to get married since she became an adult. Zhu Yunming asked him why he didn't find a wife to do laundry and cook. Zhang Ling replied, "Do you know any woman worthy of my Zhang Ling? For thousands of years, only Li Taibai and Cui Yingying can be called gifted scholars and beautiful women. Although I am incompetent, I'm afraid I won't consider anyone except Li Taibai. And Cui Yingying has long since passed away. "
From these words, we can know Zhang Ling's ambition and how crazy he is.
One day, Zhang Ling sat alone reading Liu Lingchuan, drinking while reading, sometimes surprised, and soon the wine was gone. The young man told him that Tang Bohu and Zhu Yunming had a dinner party in Tiger Hill today. Hearing this, Zhang Ling pretended to be a beggar, barefoot and unkempt, dressed in dirty and torn clothes, with Liu Lingchuan in his left hand and a wooden stick in his right hand, and went to the banquet to beg.
When I arrived at Tiger Hill, I saw celebrities like clouds and guests gathered. Before each banquet, Zhang Ling would shout, "Liu Ling is drinking!" Begging for wine. Before coming to Tang Bohu and Zhu Yunming's Kezhongge for dinner, they pretended to drink with scrolls. Tang Bohu knew it was Zhang Ling for a long time, and smiled and said to him, "You are a beggar with a book. If you want to write a poem, you should write a poem about Wu. If you write well, you will be rewarded with wine. If you can't write well, hit the calf as a punishment! "
Zhang Ling held up the pen with a pen, only to find that it read: "The scenic spot is a natural place, and you can swim around the pavilion. Don't let poetry give birth to public law, why don't stubborn stones nod? " After writing, Zhang Ling threw the pen on the ground and said, "Good poem! Good poem! Throw the ground and send out Shisheng Jin! " Tang Bohu watched it again and invited Zhang Ling to drink at the same table with a smile. There are audiences all around. Zhang Ling was drunk. He brushed his clothes and stood up with a book. "Thank you for drinking, Liu Ling!" Don't say goodbye to everyone, and roared off.
To Zhu Yunming: "Today, this move of our generation will not reduce the romance of Jin people. Otherwise, I will draw a begging picture in Zhang Ling, and you will write an inscription, which is also a story of a thousand years. " So the two famous artists cooperated and drew a masterpiece with pictures and texts.
While everyone was enjoying the goods, suddenly an official named Cui came forward to express his appreciation, asked who the beggar in the painting was, and asked to borrow this painting to enjoy it carefully. Tang Bohu and Zhu Yunming generously agreed.
Cui returned to the shore where the boat stopped and found that the boat had disappeared. He shouted several times before moving over. It turns out that Cui has a daughter named Cui Suqiong, who is very beautiful. After her father got off the boat, she heard many people's voices. Cui Suqiong is very curious. She opened the window and looked out. She just met a good-looking beggar. They have known each other for a long time. Suddenly, the beggar boarded the bow and couldn't afford to kneel. She called him "Zhang Ling" and repeatedly asked him to go, but she refused to go. Later, the boy from Zhang Ling took him away from the boat. Therefore, Cui Suqiong ordered the ship to be removed and avoided. When my father came back, he took out the painting and the father and daughter enjoyed it carefully. Cui Suqiong realized that this beggar turned out to be Zhang Ling! Sighed: "This is the real romantic talent!" So Cui Suqiong put the photo in her bag.
The next day, Cui was going to visit Zhu Yunming and He, but he was very ill and had to go back to his hometown by boat.
Since seeing Cui Suqiong's beauty, Zhang Ling has been infatuated with it, but he can't find it anywhere. When he arrived home this day, Zhu, the king of Ning, happened to have a fief in Nanchang, so he sent someone to come to Ning. Zhang Ling quickly said to Tang Bohu, "I just have something to ask. The peerless girl I met in Huqiu that day was from Nanchang. Please help me find her! This is the most important thing in the world! Never forget! " Tang Bohu readily agreed.
In fact, Zhu has long remembered the soldiers who opposed the imperial court. This time, he invited Tang Bohu, first to attract talents, and second to invite Tang Bohu to draw ten beautiful paintings for the emperor, so as to win his favor. Nine beauties have been found in Ning, and one is missing. First, I drew Nine Beautiful Pictures, and Zhu Yi was overjoyed and feasted. During the dinner, his subordinate Ji Sheng looked at nine beautiful pictures and said, "Ten beauties are short of one. I recommend one person to make up the number of ten beautiful women. " So I showed the photos I carried with me. The person in the picture turned out to be Cui Suqiong! It turned out that after Cui's father and daughter returned to Nanchang, it happened that Ji was widowed. It is said that Cui Suqiong is talented and handsome, and asks for a matchmaker. I didn't know that Cui Suqiong's heart had been entangled in Zhang Ling, but of course she refused. Ji Sheng hated it, and found a painter to draw a portrait of Cui Suqiong, hoping to take revenge on Wang Ning.
When Zhu saw it, he sighed, "This is really a national color!" Immediately ordered Jisheng to lobby Cui's father and daughter. Cui father and daughter certainly want to refuse, but how powerful Zhu is, where can they refuse? Cui Suqiong couldn't commit suicide. She sighed, "Life is too bad. What can my husband say?" So he took out "The Beggars' Map of Zhang Ling" and wrote a poem on it: "Talented people are willing to beg for poverty. I'm afraid there will be no red leaves when I enter the palace. It is true that I leave a poem. " He said to his father, "When you see Zhang Ling, please give him this photo to let him know that there is an infatuated woman named Cui Suqiong in the world!" Then he said goodbye to his father with tears and entered the Ning Palace.
When Zhu met Cui Suqiong, he marveled at the ingenuity of nature, called her the top ten beauties, and asked to complete ten beautiful pictures. After the painting, Cui Suqiong learned that she was in Ning, waiting for an opportunity to write him a secret letter and tell the whole story. When Tang Bohu saw it, he was shocked. Only then did he know that this woman, Zhang Ling, had entrusted herself to find her! I hurried to see Cui, wanted to go back to the beggar picture I had drawn, and went back to Ning to prepare for video rescue. Unexpectedly, Shi Mei is already on his way. Tang Bohu felt ashamed and regretful, and said, "Since things are irreparable, I should draw a picture and provide it. What a sinner! How can I meet my good friend? " Plus, Zhu's behavior has reversed at this time, so he had to pretend to be crazy, and Zhu had to let him go back.
After coming back, Zhang Ling was seriously ill in bed, but when he heard that Tang Bohu was back, he got up with his sick body and asked Tang Bohu about the search. Tang Bohu took out his secretly copied hidden portrait of Cui Suqiong. When Zhang Ling saw it, he burned incense and prayed, saying that it was a man from heaven. I heard that Cui Suqiong entered the palace, and I couldn't help crying. Tang Bohu took out Zhang Ling's begging map and saw the poem written by Cui Suqiong. Zhang Ling shouted, "Beautiful Cui Suqiong!" He vomited blood. Three days later, Zhang Ling was dying. Before he died, he told Tang Bohu, "Please use this photo to bury me." The last words left by Suobi are: "People, the word dreams of Jin, have a romantic birthday, and do us part until death." Throw a pen and die.
There are two flowers, one for each table. Soon after Zhu Qibing, he was defeated and captured. The emperor issued a letter saying that a traitor had offered ten beauties and all of them were repatriated. After returning to Nanchang, Cui Suqiong found her father dead. After the funeral, she went to Suzhou to visit Tang Bohu. Tang Bohu told the story in detail, and Cui Suqiong wept bitterly and asked Tang Bohu to accompany him to visit the grave the next day.
The next day, in front of Zhang Ling's grave, while drinking, Cui Suqiong read Zhang Ling's manuscript, while reading songs and drinking wine, shouting: "Zhang Ling genius!" Cried and cried, cried and read, and went on. Seeing this human tragedy, Tang Bohu couldn't bear to hear it. He hid his face and wept, and returned to the boat. For a long time, Tang Bohu returned to the grave and found that Cui Suqiong hanged herself beside the platform in front of the grave. Tang Bohu was so frightened that he bowed down and said, "Great trouble! Catastrophe! I must see strange things in Tang Yin today! " So they were buried in the same cave, and the tombstone read: "Tomb of the Ming Dynasty genius Zhang and the beauty Cui Suqiong."
Since then, people have come to pay their respects.

The first day of classic historical short stories 3
During the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Jinshi won the first place in the imperial academy exam many times. Because of the strange sentences in his article, students followed suit one after another, forming a strange and flashy atmosphere for a while. Ouyang Xiu hates this style of writing and always wants to clean it up.
This year, Ouyang Xiu presided over the Jinshi exam, stipulating that all candidates who wrote difficult articles would not take the exam. One candidate wrote in the article: "Heaven and earth roll, everything grows, and saints grow." It means: heaven and earth are divided, everything begins to grow, and great men come out. Ouyang Xiu thought, "This man must be Liu Ji!" So he jokingly continued to write: "The scholar stabbed the official brush." It means: if your scholar's article goes against reason, the examiner will brush you down! He also painted the article horizontally from beginning to end with a big red pen, called "Red Les" and labeled it "Big mistake". Later, it was discovered that this person was indeed Liu Ji. As a result, the style of writing in the examination room changed, and everyone learned to write rich and concise articles.
A few years later, Ouyang Xiu served as the examiner of the imperial examination and found that Liu Ji had come to take the examination again. Ouyang Xiu said: "We should thoroughly eliminate evil. Today, we must severely reprimand these frivolous students to eradicate the scourge of the literary world. " He found a sentence in Yao Shun's Benevolence and Government Fu written by a candidate: "Therefore, life is prolonged by quietness, and the five emperors live a long life; Moving and being brave is the punishment of the four deadly sins. " It means: therefore, if you can get peace, you can keep in good health and live longer than the five emperors; If you are impulsive and reckless, you will be punished unexpectedly. Ouyang Xiu chose this person as the first. When posting, I found that the candidate's name was Liu Hui. Someone told Ouyang Xiu that Liu Hui was Liu Ji, and he even changed his name in order to completely change his style of writing. Ouyang Xiu was very moved.
Ouyang Xiu discovered many talents by vigorously reforming the style of writing. Under his impetus, they all became famous artists, including Wang Anshi, Su Shi and Su Zhe.
Classic historical short stories, the first day 4
Obstacles are a new known situation. As long as you are willing, any obstacle will become an opportunity to surpass yourself. One day, the lion called the forest came before the gods: "I am very grateful to you for giving me such a magnificent physique and such great strength that I have enough ability to rule the whole forest." Hearing this, God smiled and asked, "But that's not why you came to see me today!" " ! It seems that something is bothering you! The lion gave a gentle roar and said, "God really knows me! I came here today to ask for something. Because my ability is no matter how good, I am always awakened by crows every day. Oh, my god I beg you, give me a little more strength so that I won't be awakened by crows! "God smiled and said," Go to the elephant and it will give you a satisfactory answer. The lion hurried to the lake to find the elephant. Before he saw the elephant, he heard the "bang" of the elephant stamping. The lion sped up to the elephant, only to see that the elephant was stamping its feet angrily. The lion asked the elephant, "why are you so angry?" "The elephant shook its big ears desperately and roared," There is a nasty little mosquito who always tries to get into my ear and tickles me to death. The lion left the elephant and thought, "Such a big elephant is still afraid of such a thin mosquito." What can I complain about? "? After all, chickens crow only once a day, but mosquitoes harass elephants all the time. In this way, I am much luckier than him. As he walked, the lion looked back at the elephant that was still stamping his feet and thought, "God wants me to see the elephant. I think he just wants to tell me that everyone will be in trouble, but it can't help everyone." In that case, I have to, myself! Anyway, whenever a chicken crows in the future, I will take it as a chicken to remind me that it's time to get up. Let me see. Is it good for me? "
Philosophy of life: On the road of life, no matter how smooth we go, as long as we encounter some unpleasant things, we will habitually complain that God is not good to us, and then pray that God will give us more strength to help us tide over the difficulties. But in fact, God is the fairest, just like lions and elephants. Every dilemma has its positive value.
Classic historical stories, the first day 5
During the Warring States period, wars often occurred between countries, which brought great disasters to the people, so many countries got together to discuss a truce. In order to make everyone abide by the armistice agreement, countries usually exchange princes as hostages.
Wei and Zhao reached an armistice agreement, and Wei sent minister Pang Cong to accompany Prince Wei to Zhao as a hostage. Before leaving, Pang Cong said to Wang Wei, "Your Majesty, if someone tells your Majesty that there are tigers in the street now, will your Majesty believe it?"
Wang Wei shook his head and said, "Why are there tigers in the street? Of course I won't believe it. "
Pang Yan added, "But if a second person also tells the king that there are tigers in the street now, will the king believe it?"
Wang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I will wonder if this is true."
Pang Cong went on to say, "If a third person told the king that there was a tiger in the street, would the king believe it?"
Wang Wei said positively, "If all three people say so, of course I will believe it."
Pang Cong said: "There will be no tigers in the street at all, which is known to all." But if three people say there are tigers in the street, then many people will believe it. Now that I have gone to Zhao, I think there must be more than three people who speak ill of me in front of the king. I hope the king can stay awake and not believe other people's slander. "
Wang Wei nodded in agreement. Not long after Pang Cong left, many people spoke ill of Pang Cong in front of Wang Wei. At first, Wang Wei didn't believe these slanders. However, after a long time, Wang Wei believed what those people said. Later, Pang Cong accompanied the prince back to Wei, but Wang Wei no longer trusted Pang Cong and never summoned him again.
In fact, Pang Cong didn't do anything wrong to Wei, but Wang Wei finally listened to the slanderers. We should have our own opinions when we look at things, and never follow blindly.
