Chapter 268: Eating porridge, the dark side of Quan Cong and his son
Quan Cong waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, we are all in the military, so we can still withstand the sea breeze."
The captain Quan Duan on the side also clasped his fists and advised: "Da Sima, just go and have a rest. With you here, our army will be able to return to the court victorious this time, so why worry?"
Quanxu said again: "Da Sima, what Quan Duan said is true. Even Sima Yi and even generals like Guanqiu Jian were able to pacify Liaodong. You have experienced hundreds of battles. This time you just came here to plunder some people. It must be
There’s no problem.”
Quan Cong also said: "You know, I am not worried about Cao Wei and Liaodong's military movements, which will hinder my plans, but the rainy season in summer and autumn in Liaodong!"
Quan Ji cupped his fists and said: "Da Sima, there is no need to worry so much. We are here only for the people of Liaodong. We do not need to engage in a large-scale fierce battle with the Wei army. We only need to rob the population and then retreat. Most of us will not be stuck here for a long time."
, the results of the battle will not be much worse than when they went to Yizhou and Chanzhou."
Quanzhi was a native of Qiantang, Kuaiji County, Yangzhou (at the foothills of Lingyin Mountain in the west of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province), and the second son of Ma Quancong, the right commander of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.
Quanji was a deviant man, and secretly served as Sun Ba's guests with Wu An, Sun Qi, Yang Zhu, etc., trying to endanger the prince Sun He. Quanji had a deep conflict with Gu Tan, who was in the prince's camp, and later took the opportunity to frame him.
In exile, Lu Xun also asked Quan Cong to execute his son for the sake of the overall situation, but Quan Cong refused.
Quan Cong looked at the bright stars in the sky with his beard and said: "I hope this landing can go smoothly, so that we can go back to your Majesty as soon as possible, and also allow you and the three brothers to rise in official positions."
, I will be able to face Quan’s ancestors and his wife when I go down in the future.”
The full surname mainly comes from the surname Peng, which comes from the official position of Quanfu official in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Lu Zhong, the descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu's Gaoyang clan, and Lu Zhong's third son Rizhen, were given the surname Peng and were granted the title of Dapeng. Their hometown is in today's Tongshan, Jiangsu Province.
Sun Fu, a descendant of Peng Zu, was a sergeant in Zhouquan Prefecture. Zhouquan Prefecture was a subordinate of the local officials in "Zhou Li". Quan was also used as money, because the official ordered the surname to be rich, such as Quan. After the Quan surname, there were
Those whose homophones are all surname.
The blood of the Quan family has always been relatively pure, and there has been very little blood from other ethnic groups flowing into it in history.
Quan Ji added: "Father, don't worry, the three brothers and I will definitely do our best, and our achievements in the future will definitely exceed those of Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng, who will bring glory to the Quan family!"
In the third year of Chiwu (240), when Quan Cong was the governor, he fought with Wei general Wang Ling in Shaopi. The situation was unfavorable. Wei soldiers took advantage of the victory and captured the fifth battalion of general Qin Huang's army. Gu Tan's younger brother Gu Cheng and Zhang Xiuben both
During the northern campaign in Shouchun, when they saw that the Wei army was trapped, they attacked with all their might.
Gu Cheng and Zhang Xiu then stopped the Wei army. At that time, Quan Cong's disciples were all ready, and Quan Duan was also a general. Seeing that the enemy army had stopped, they pursued it, and Wang Ling's army retreated.
In terms of merit and rewards, the imperial court believed that the merit of garrisoning the enemy was greater than the merit of retreating the enemy, so Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng were appointed generals with mixed titles, while Quan Xu, Quan Duan and others were only for partial support. Quan Cong, Quan Zhi
The father and son were very angry, and Quan Ji kept the matter in his mind to this day. Even Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng had been overthrown by Quan Cong.
At that time, the battle for succession between Prince Sun He and King Sun Ba of Lu was fierce. The Gu Tan family belonged to the party of Prince Sun He, while the Quan Cong family belonged to the party of Sun Ba, King of Lu. Zhang Xiu, who had a close relationship with the Gu family, naturally could not escape Quan Cong's family.
's attack.
So Quan Cong and his son took advantage of this "Shaopi Discussing Merit" incident to slander Sun Quan and accuse Zhang Xiu. Gu Cheng had private contacts with Dianjun Chen Xun, and therefore received more rewards.
In the eighth year of Chiwu, Zhang Xiu, Gu Cheng, and Gu Tan were all sent to the state for this reason. This is the dark side of Quan Cong Shao that is well known to everyone.
Zhongshu Ling Sun Hong was cunning and cunning, and Zhang Xiu had always hated him. When Sun Hong saw Zhang Xiu being punished, he took the opportunity to slander Zhang Xiu and add insult to injury. Zhang Xiu was sentenced to death at the age of forty-one.
Sun Quan also had no scruples about Zhang Xiu being the second son of the important minister Zhang Zhao. It was probably because Zhang Xiu participated in the fight for the crown prince regardless of life and death, and got into Sun Quan's displeasure, so he did not leave any room for his old friend in the future.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhao traveled south to Yangzhou to avoid war.
When Sun Ce started his business, he appointed him as the Chief Historian, the Lieutenant Commander of the Fu Army, and entrusted all civil and military affairs to Zhang Zhao.
Before Sun Ce died, he entrusted his younger brother Sun Quan to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao led a group of officials to assist Sun Quan, appease the people, attack the rebels, and help Sun Quan stabilize the situation.
When Sun Quan acted as general of chariots and cavalry, he appointed Zhang Zhao as military advisor.
Sun Quan was named Queen of Wu, worshiped her as General Suiyuan, and was granted the title of Marquis of Quan. After that, she participated in the compilation of imperial rites.
In the first year of Huanglong (229 years), after Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Zhao returned his official position and subordinates on the grounds of old age and illness, and changed his title to General Wu, Benya Sansi, and the title of Louhou.
In his later years, he did not participate in political affairs. He wrote "The Chun Qiu Zuo Shi Zhuan Jie" and "The Analects of Confucius" at home. He died at the age of eighty-one. It has been fifteen years now.
Quan Cong walked up to Quan Ji and patted his shoulder and said, "Father, I believe you can do it!" After saying that, he went back to the cabin and lay down. Quan Cong woke up early the next morning.
, wakes up very early, people of his age rarely sleep,
He picked up a volume on the art of war on the desk, and then left the cabin. Facing the morning breeze on the deck, Asahi began to think about it.
After a while, Quan Ji also walked up to Quan Cong with a bowl of porridge and said: "Father, have a bowl of porridge. This has just been cooked and is still hot. It tastes good. You can try it."
Quan Cong then handed the bamboo slips to his left and right, took the steaming lacquer bowl, slowly blew the porridge to cool down, then started to drink it and said: "This porridge is good, the sweetness is moderate. After drinking it, my stomach will be warm. It's really warm."
It’s comfortable and quite suitable for an old man like me to eat.”
The "Ancient History" written by Qiao Zhou of the Shu Kingdom once said: "The Yellow Emperor first had a cauldron and steamer, and the method of fire food was established. The Yellow Emperor first steamed the grains to make rice and cooked the grains to make porridge."
"Shuowen Jiezi" also recorded this achievement on Huangdi, saying that "Huangdi first taught how to make rice."
There are so many delicacies from mountains and seas, but there is always a warm place for porridge in the hearts of Chinese people.
This food, which may have been born in the Neolithic Age, is a common symbol of the spiritual homeland of the Chinese world.
During infancy, most of the first food other than breast milk that comes into contact comes from a bowl of rice porridge carefully cooked by the elders;
And when life is coming to an end, teeth fall out, and it is still the bowl of porridge that is fed by children and grandchildren lying on the side of the bed. Just like drawing a circle, porridge connects the starting point and the end point of life.
Quan Zhi said: "There is a saying in the Book of Rites that the month of Zhongqiu... is used to nourish the elderly, teach them a few sticks, and eat rice porridge, so the son asked them to make some sweet porridge for his father."
In addition to ceremonial activities such as worshiping ancestors, there has also been the custom of offering porridge to the elderly to show respect since ancient times. The tradition of using porridge as the main food for the elderly originated in the pre-Qin period.
Judging from the description in the "Book of Han·Wudi Ji" that "when people are over ninety years old, there is already a law of receiving porridge", by the Han Dynasty, offering porridge to the elders had become a national law from a common practice.
It is not difficult to understand why porridge has become a food that Chinese people respect the elderly - when people get old, their teeth loosen and fall out, and the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract weakens, so porridge that is soft and easy to absorb is perfect.
This is how the concept of "eating porridge to support the elderly" has been passed down from generation to generation and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...
