Chapter 84 He Yan, the Inventor of Five Stone Powder
Although the fate of slaves is already so miserable, He Yan doesn't care about it. After all, in his eyes, enjoyment is the most important thing.
The lives of slaves, who are as small as dust, cannot enter his eyes at all. If they are happy, he can let them live, if they are unhappy, he can let them die.
From childhood to adulthood, he grew up in such an environment and was influenced and influenced by such a big environment.
He Yan was originally the grandson of General He Jin who was a butcher in the late Han Dynasty. He Yan's father died young and Emperor Wu took his mother Yin as his concubine. Therefore, he was adopted by Emperor Wu and became his favorite.
Logically speaking, He Yan should have changed his name to Cao Yan like Qin Zhen, but He Yan refused to change his surname.
On the third day after Emperor Wu married Mrs. Yin, he and Mrs. Yin were sitting drinking tea. He looked back at He Yan and Cao Pi reading the Book of Songs in the corridor. The fat Cao Pi read "Junzi Yangyang" with a solemn expression.
The handsome He Yan read "Jing Nu", his eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. The sunshine outside the window was as bright as silk. Emperor Wu was happy to see it, and turned around and said: "Madam, I want to change He Yan's name. What do you think?"
?”.
Mrs. Yin was startled for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and knelt down to salute, saying, "Thank you Sikong!" Then she called He Yan over to kowtow to her new adoptive father to thank him.
After He Yan heard his mother say that he wanted to change his name to Cao Yan, without saying a word, he turned and walked towards the courtyard. When he reached the atrium, he stopped and stood in the scorching sun.
Emperor Wu and Mrs. Yin didn't know why He Yan did this, so they got up and asked what happened. He Yan grabbed a stick and drew a circle around his body, saying, "This is the He family's house, I can't move out!"
Cao Cao was surprised. He said quickly: "Okay, okay, I promise you to stay in the He family's house."
This is the summer of the fifth year of Jian'an. This year, He Yan has just turned 7 years old.
When He Yan was young, he was well-known for his talents. He liked the learning of Lao Zhuang and married Cao Cao's daughter, Princess Jinxiang.
When Emperor Wen was in power, he might have been jealous of Emperor Wu's favor for him and was not granted any formal official position, but he did not kill him. After all, he was just a pretender of Emperor Wu. He had no blood relationship with the Cao family and had no regard for Emperor Wen's status.
A hint of threat.
When Emperor Ming Cao Rui arrived, Emperor Ming believed that He Yan was vain and unreliable, so he only gave him the position of redundant official. After all, he was considered a member of the Cao family and married Emperor Wu's daughter, so it was necessary to give him a sinecure.
All talented people have some pride, and they are not interested in money or power.
He Yan was extremely talented and full of pride. Of course he was unwilling to bow to Cao Pi. He had been suppressed throughout his youth when Cao Pi was in power, and he had always been an idle official with positions but no power.
Because having nothing to do will inevitably lead to right and wrong, so the ancients often said that doing nothing makes a lot of sense.
He Yan's fault was so great that he hid in his room and made elixirs. After repeated infusions, he finally mixed stalactites, sulfur, white quartz, amethyst and five-flowered stones together with Chinese herbal medicine to create the elixir.
The earliest drug in Chinese history.
Named Five Stone Powder, it is actually equivalent to today’s ecstasy pill.
After taking this kind of ecstasy pill, you will be energetic and stimulate the imagination of the brain and the libido of the body. You can often drink for several days without getting drunk, and you can have sex with many women at night.
Therefore, He Yan was not only good at drinking, but also lustful. After Cao Pi died, Cao Rui succeeded to the throne and was called Emperor Ming. He Yan's career situation still did not improve at all, but his drug taking activities became vigorous.
One day, he fell in love with a palace maid, asked a eunuch to mediate her, and finally secretly married her back to his family. This kind of thing was of course offensive to Tian Yan. But He Yan dared to do it, which was a bit daring.
After taking the drug, in addition to strengthening the sexual and gallbladder, there are other disadvantages, such as the onset of drug effects and fever all over the body. After the fever, you have to pour cold water on the body. If you wear too much clothes and eat something hot, it will kill you.
.
Because the skin and flesh are hot, tight-fitting clothes cannot be worn, and the clothes must be loose and soft, and shoes cannot be worn. We can only wear wooden clogs or bare feet, so we have an elegant, open-minded, and casual look. Moreover, because the skin is easy to break, the clothes
It is better to wear old ones instead of new ones, and it cannot be washed and changed frequently.
Because they were not washed or changed, there were a lot of lice. Therefore, in the circle of famous people who talk, the status of lice has become higher, and "talking while picking up lice" has become a good thing. From today's point of view, this is of course very funny.
.
But at that time, all the people who picked up lice were celebrities, so this beautiful thing became popular. When everyone gathered together to chat, they all wished they could catch a few lice from their bodies.
Celebrities who took too much ecstasy made their bodies very hot and couldn't sleep, so they had to go for a walk to get rid of the poisonous gas. When people who didn't take ecstasy saw it, they followed suit and went for a walk. So the activity of walking became widely spread.
.
There are even more funny things. Because the Five Stone Powder is too expensive and difficult to obtain, the Five Stone Powder has become a symbol of wealth, and more and more people are committing fraud. People often fall asleep on the street pretending to take the medicine.
To show their generosity. It can be seen that celebrities are a bunch of harmful animals.
When He Yan became a superstar in Tan Xuan, he became a fashion hero. Many people imitated his living habits. He drank alcohol all day and took ecstasy pills, which affected his life and made him mournful and rude. It affected the literary world and formed a
The elegant and gorgeous writing style.
Of course, not everyone is suitable for this kind of drug. For example, people in the South have hot weather, and if they do this, they will suffer. But for people in the North, it seems to be good, and they can resist the cold.
In the past, Emperor Wen and Emperor Ming were unwelcome by the Cao and Wei emperors. Emperor Ming hated his talk and glitz, but he was also happy with it.
Continuing to go his own way, he got along very well with Cao Zidan's son, Cao Shuang. They smoked Five Stone Powder together all day long and felt at ease.
Like his grandfather He Jin, he also soared into the sky. When Cao Wei conquered the world, He Yan's life was very comfortable.
But He Yan is different from his grandfather who was a butcher. He has received a good education since he was a child and is very educated. The problem is that he may like culture too much. As a result, he created a precedent in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, free talk.
The so-called casual talk is to talk about the three books "Laozi", "Zhouyi" and "Zhuangzi". A group of people who have had enough to eat and have nothing to do talk about these three books together every day. This becomes the three mysteries, and everything is completely divorced from reality.
The problem.
This group of people is represented by He Yan. Because He Yan is the adopted son of Cao Cao, he has a noble status and does not have the worries of fighting for the right to be the heir. Therefore, He Yan's life is completely free and playful, dragging Cao Shuang and others around all day long.
,
Cao Zidan was very angry, but he couldn't do anything to him. After all, he and He Yan were both adopted sons of Emperor Wu, from the same generation, and He Yan also had the status of Emperor Wu's consort.
When Emperor Ming entrusted him with his duties, Cao Shuang completely ascended to one of the two highest positions in the Wei Dynasty. This made him, who in the early years seemed to be aloof from the world and didn't care much about power,
His mind was suddenly ignited, and he began to rely on his previous friendship with Cao Shuang to rise up step by step and reach a high position in the Wei Dynasty, but he had no ability.
If it hadn't been for Cao Shuang's comeback, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had such a festive moment last night, and would have gone back to the old path of his grandfather He Jin, and was killed by three clans, triggering turmoil in Cao Wei...
