Chapter 327: Yin Fu, the disadvantages of not reusing Cao Zijian
Sun Quan then sang: "The white horse is decorated with golden restraints, galloping northwest.
May I ask whose son you are? You and You Xia'er.
When I was young, I went to the countryside and raised my voice in the desert.
In the past, there was a good bow, but the arrows were uneven.
If you control the string and break the left side, the right side will break the moon branch.
He raises his hand to catch the flying scorpion and bends down to scatter the horse's hooves.
He is as cunning as a monkey and as brave as a leopard.
There are many policemen in the border towns, and many captives and cavalry are migrating.
Yu Xi came from the north and rode up the high embankment.
He drove the Xiongnu for a long time, and looked at Xianbei from the left.
Abandoning one's body at the edge of the edge, can one's life be safe?
If parents don’t care, how can they talk about their children and their wives?
When compiling the records of strong men, no personal gain is allowed.
Sacrificing one's life to go to the national calamity, seeing death as a sudden return home!"
Sun Quan then continued: "Hey, although I am not as depressed as Cao Zijian, I want to rule the world and return to Jiangbei with the legacy of my father and brother. Unfortunately, I am not talented. Not only did I fail to capture Shouchun, Luoyang and other places in the Central Plains,
The land, but even the original Jiangbei land was lost to Cao Shuang. This is all my fault, and I am afraid I cannot make up for it in this life."
The first two sentences form one paragraph, depicting a scene of a young knight-errant riding his horse and whipping his whip to the battlefield. First, "white horses decorated with gold restraints", snow-white horses with pure gold ornaments, galloping toward the northwest one after another.
When passers-by saw these handsome figures, they couldn't help but ask them, who are these?
They were young men from two remote states. Now they heard that there was an emergency on the battlefield, so they left in order to make meritorious deeds and become famous.
The following five sentences form one paragraph, which is a brief introduction to the "Youbing Rangers" mentioned above. They left their hometown when they were very young and became famous in the dusty frontier battlefields.
"When I was young, I went to the countryside and raised my voice in the desert." Maybe it was because I lived too many regular lives when I was a child. This kind of life state is one that I envy now.
Day and night I carry a good bow on my back, and the arrows behind it are uneven but equally sharp.
"Those who control the strings and break the left ones, use the right ones to destroy the moon branch." This is an intertextuality. Controlling the strings and the right moves are all actions, while the left ones and the moon branches are their goals, especially the two verbs "break" and "destroy".
One feels the pleasure of lifting a heavy weight with ease and destroying everything.
In Cao Zhi's imagination, life on the frontier is about releasing the passion for life and living and killing with pleasure.
After that, there were two actions and two metaphors in succession, which praised the knight to the heavens.
The next three sentences form a paragraph to introduce us to the battlefield situation.
Many border towns were in constant distress, and barbarian cavalry invaded several times; messages were sent from the north, and rangers drove their horses up high to look at the rivers and mountains at the border.
What follows is another intertextual sentence. The meaning of the sentence itself is not difficult to understand, but you still have to appreciate Cao Zhi's understanding of the state of life and his unreserved yearning for the release of passion.
"The long march drives the Xiongnu, and the left cares about Ling Xianbei."
The last four sentences form a section, which I think is the most exciting section. If you want to sing here, you must use the most passionate tone and the largest movements to show the passion.
This body has long abandoned the edge of the sharp edge. When the sharp edge is broken, my life is also broken.
In modern terms, if you are living with your head tied to your belt, why should you worry about life and death?
The first sentence talks about oneself, but the second sentence becomes even more radical, not even caring about the parents' nurturing grace, and talking about the responsibilities of a wife and children.
Having your name listed in the military book is a sacred and unshirkable responsibility for a man. To fulfill it is not only loyalty to the court, but also loyalty to his own life, so he goes forward one after another without any selfish motives.
In the last sentence, Cao Zhi was too suppressed and suppressed in reality, so he had no choice but to let go in the world of literature.
Many people may not know what it means to regard death as returning home, and what kind of spirit it represents. Returning means going back, returning, returning to the most primitive place of life.
As the old saying goes, life comes from the soil and death goes to the soil. Everyone is greedy for life, but the common hatred for the national crisis makes these rangers transcend life and death. What they return to after death is not where they came from in life, so what is there to fear? ?
After Cao Cao passed away, Cao Pi took over as King of Wei and further ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. As a relative of the emperor, Cao Zhi was also crowned king.?
But the eldest brother seemed to think that this talented younger brother would cause trouble if he stayed in a certain place for a long time, so he frequently changed his fiefdom.
Cao Zhi's frequent transfers of titles did not stop until his nephew Cao Rui ascended the throne. "Moving the capital three times in eleven years" reflects the deep fear of Cao Zhi between father and son.?
In the fourth year of Huangchu (223), Cao Zhang passed away. Cao Zhi was devastated when he heard about it and rushed to the capital to pay his respects. However, before the funeral was over, he received the emperor's decree, requiring him to leave the capital and return to his fiefdom immediately.?
Compared with Cao Zhang's death, his brother Cao Pi's precautions against him made him more frustrated, but he still followed the order and embarked on the return journey.?
In order to kill the loneliness along the way, Cao Zhi invited his younger brother Cao Biao to accompany them. Who knew that the official responsible for sending them was firmly opposed to the two of them going home together, so the two had to part ways in tears.?
For this matter, Cao Zhi angrily wrote "Giving the White Horse to Wang Biao":?
"There is nothing between flies, and slander can alienate relatives."?
Throughout the whole article, he scolded the villain for being in power, obstructing the Holy Spirit from hearing, and scolded the official who used chicken feathers as arrows, but he did not complain at all about his brother behind the scenes.?
After Cao Pi passed away and was succeeded by his nephew Cao Rui, Cao Zhi seemed to see a glimmer of hope. Even Sima Yi, who had been feared for many years, was activated, and he seemed to be able to do it too.?
So Cao Zhi immediately wrote "Seeking a Self-Examination Form". He used the personal descriptions of loyal ministers and good generals from past dynasties, and also introduced that he had followed Taizu in battles for many years and had rich combat experience.?
"I have done my best to repay the kindness I have received." The almost begging statement resulted in his nephew's admiration for his literary talents. As for his request, he was completely ignored.?
Sima Yi was appointed as the general, which brought a new atmosphere to the stagnant Wei state. However, what followed was the growing power of the Sima family. This made Cao Zhi, who was standing in the distance, first aware of the danger, so He wrote the "Shang Shu Chen Shen Ju Zhi Yi" at the beginning of this article to remind his nephew to reuse a blood relative like him and to be wary of the Sima family of the opposite sex who has a big tail.?
However, the sincerity throughout the article was interpreted by Cao Rui as his uncle's complaints about unfair treatment, or even his jealousy of Sima Yi.?
Under the emperor's suspicion as always, and when the Sima family was at its peak, Cao Zhi's voice was so weak.?
Several migrations wore down Cao Zhi's body, and several fruitless self-recommendations wore away his heart. This talented man finally passed away in the sixth year of Taihe.
In the second year of Jingchu, Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui passed away. On his deathbed, he appointed Wu'an Marquis Cao Shuang, and General Sima Yi as Tuogu Minister. Only then gradually did the current situation of Cao Wei's court come into being.
After Sun Quan finished reciting the White Horse Chapter, he remembered something again and said: "Hey, if Cao Rui had reused Cao Zhi, there would have been no disaster for our country later, let alone the shame of Dahu being kidnapped by Cao Shuang and taken to Luoyang!"
