Ok, let's start reading those wonderful stories.

Biography of assassins 26

Haven't you seen the animation of "Assassin 567" playing with scissors recently? It's fun.

The assassin here is slightly different from that one. In this article, Sima Qian recorded five assassins.

They are Zhuan Xu of Lu, of Wu, Yu Rang of Jin, Jing Ke of Wei and Yan.

(1) Cao Mo

Cao Mo is the earliest. According to Japanese scholars' research, he is Cao Gui in Zuo Zhuan and Cao Gui Debate, which you have already studied. Whether there is a conclusion or not, if you are interested, you can also study it as an amateur topic in the future. He is the only assassin among the five who has achieved great success!

He fell in love and hijacked it. Who is Qi Henggong? The first of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period! Cao Mo threatened to return the occupied land, which was a great feat.

Sima Qian recorded his deeds in less than 200 words, but described his great achievements, which can be described as cherishing words like gold.

(2) Transfer note

/kloc-after Cao Mo in 0/67, another assassin appeared-Zhuan Xu.

Zhuan Xu was introduced to the Duke of Wu by Wu Zixu. Later, he helped Gongzi kill his cousin Wu Wangliao and ascended the throne. Zhuan was also hacked to death.

(3) Yu Rang

More than 70 years after Zhuan Xu, a stubborn assassin, Yurang, appeared.

Yurang, man, one word says: loyalty!

At that time, Jin was ruled by Zhao, Wei, Han, Zhi, Fan and Bank of China. Among them, Zhishi is the most powerful and often bullies the other five. Later, Zhao, Wei and Han joined forces to destroy them. This is the story of "three tribes divided into Jin" in history.

At first, Yu rang worked in Fann and BOC, but he was not reused.

Later, Yu Rang defected to Zhishi's door, and Zhi Bo (the eldest son of Zhizu) attached great importance to him and entrusted him with an important task. (I respect it very much)

After the total annihilation of Zhao, Wei and Han, they hated Zhi Bo's guts and "painted his head as a wine vessel", that is, painted his skull for drinking.

Yurang had to flee to the mountains. He said, "A woman is ashamed to die for her bosom friend." Zhibo is good to me, and I will avenge Zhibo, so my soul has a clear conscience!

So he took a dagger with him, disguised as a criminal, went to Zhao Xiangzi's palace to wash the toilet, and prepared to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi.

When Zhao Xiangzi went to the toilet, he found the man acting suspiciously, so he was caught and asked what he did. Yu Rang said, "I want to avenge Zhi Bo!"

The guards tried to cut him down, but Zhao Xiangzi said, "Zhi Bo has no descendants, but his servant is willing to lay down his life to avenge him! This is a sentient and righteous person! I couldn't bear to kill him, so I hid. " So I let him go. I will avoid the righteous. )

But I didn't give up. He painted himself with red paint and pretended to be a person with skin disease. He swallowed hot coal and lost his voice, so that Zhao Xiangzi couldn't recognize him. Then he went to the city to pretend to beg, and sure enough, even his wife didn't know him. (paint is sharp, swallowing charcoal is dumb, making the shape unclear)

But one of his friends recognized him and asked him, "With your talent, won't you be valued if you switch to Zhao Xiangzi's door?"? Why do you have to hurt yourself to get revenge? "

Yu Rang said, "If I want to kill Zhao Xiangzi and then go to his house to be a policeman, that's my second heart to serve you, which I can't do. I am so intent on revenge, but also to give a warning to people with two hearts in the world and make them feel guilty. " (Those who are ashamed of the future generations of the world and serve as kings with one heart and two minds)

Can't father talk in private: I don't agree with this statement, it's fake. You know, it is difficult to change and influence a person, and death is just a sudden shock. So don't try to influence others by setting an example, just do what you think is right. And all role models will come to no good end.

Later, Yurang ambushed under the bridge that Zhao Xiangzi was going to pass. Zhao Xiangzi's horse classics are out of date and frightening. He immediately realized that Yurang had come to kill him again.

So he looked around, caught Yu Rang, and angered him and said, "Don't you also work in Fann and Bank of China? Zhibo killed them all. Why don't you avenge them? Since I killed Zhi Bo, why do you still cling to me and say that you want to avenge Zhi Bo? Are you bored? "

Yu rang replied, "I work for Fan and BOC. They treat me like a passer-by, and I repay them with the gift of a passer-by. And Zhi Bo treated me with the courtesy of a national scholar, so I naturally want to repay him with the courtesy of a national scholar! " (Fan Zhonghang's family, Fan Zhonghang's family have all seen me, so I will report it to you; As for Zhi Bo, I will report to my fellow countryman when the national scholar meets me! )

Zhao Xiangzi sighed and said, "Yurang, your reputation for serving Zhi Bo has reached. And I let you go once, so be careful now, I won't let you go again. "

Yu Rang said, "I heard that the master will show the beauty of an adult, and the loyal subjects are not afraid of death for the sake of their righteousness (I know that the master does not hide the beauty of Tibetans, and the loyal subjects mean death). You let me go before, and everyone praised you as a virtuous gentleman. I can't run away today, and I'm willing to die, but I beg you to take off your clothes and give them to me so that I can stab them a few times. I will avenge myself and die without regret. I'm dying now, and I dare not expect your consent, but that's what I mean! "

Hearing this, Zhao Xiangzi lamented his loyalty, so he took off his clothes and gave them to his entourage.

Yurang spread his clothes on the ground, drew his sword, jumped up and stabbed three swords, and sighed, "I can go down and see Zhi Bo!" "So he led the neck to commit suicide.

After Yurang committed suicide, the people of Zhao heard of his deeds and were very sad.

(4) Nie Zheng

Nie Zheng is a dead man who appeared more than 40 years after Yu Rang.

If Jade Rang is the representative of the righteousness of monarch and subjects, then Nie Zheng (and his sister) is the representative of the righteousness of friends. Remember this word: righteousness!

It turned out to be wei ren, who killed someone (I don't know who) and fled to Qi with his sister and mother to take refuge and kill pigs for a living.

At that time, Emperor Yangdi and Han Jing were both officials in South Korea. On one occasion, two people fought in court and had a contradiction. Yan Sui fled from South Korea to Qi for fear of revenge. Looking for someone who can avenge him here.

Later, I found Nie Zheng, who often sent money to Nie Zheng, celebrated Nie Zheng's mother's birthday and drank with Nie Zheng. Anyway, I just get along well with my fair-weather friend and want to ask him for help in revenge.

Between father and son: So you see, if someone is somehow nice to you, it must be using you. You must firmly believe that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

But Nie Zheng refused, on the grounds that he had an old mother to raise and could not avenge him. My mother is here, but I dare not promise anyone. )

After the death of her old mother, Nie Zheng finished the funeral, took off her mourning clothes, found Yan Sui and promised to avenge him.

After killing Han, he killed dozens of guards, but he still couldn't escape, so he cut his face, gouged out his eyes and committed suicide by caesarean section. Since I broke my skin and slaughtered my intestines, I'm dead. )

Father and son talk privately: suicide is suicide. Why cut your face and gouge out your eyes?

The South Korean minister was killed, but no one knew who the assassin was, which is very difficult. So South Korea hung Nie Zheng's body in the downtown area and offered a reward to anyone who knew the assassin, but no one knew him.

Nie Zheng's sister Nie Rong heard about it and thought, "Is it my brother?" ?

So I ran to the body. When I saw the body, I cried. The person next to her asked her, "This man killed our minister, and the king offered a reward for catching the murderer. How dare you come to recognize the body? "

Nie Rong said: "The reason why my brother hides anonymously in the street to kill pigs for a living is because my old mother is still alive and my sister is not married. Yan Sui knows that people are still useful, and he is a friend of my poor brother. My brother can't help but repay him. Now he revenges Yan Sui, but he cuts his face beyond recognition for fear of getting in trouble with me. How can I be afraid of death and disgrace the reputation of a good brother? " So sadness came from it, and he shouted "Oh, my God" and was so angry at his brother's body.

When Koreans heard this, they all lamented: Brothers and sisters are not afraid of death, but their mother is alive, but they dare not agree to Yan Sui's request for revenge. What a polite and upright man!
