Summary of the Twenty-third Session of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Kong Rong dissuaded Cao Cao from beheading Liu and Wang. Later, Cao Cao wanted to attack Liu Bei, and Kong Rong once again advised him: It is better not to fight in the dead of winter, so it is better to wait until next spring, and now you can surrender to Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu first. Zhang Xiu weighed it repeatedly and decided to surrender to Cao Cao, leaving Liu Biao behind. Cao Cao sent Kong Rong to surrender, and Kong Rong recommended Mi Fei.

But Mi Fei was arrogant and insulted Cao Cao many times, so Cao Cao tried to kill him through Liu Biao. But Liu Biao saw that Cao Cao didn't kill Mi Fei intentionally, but sent him to see Huang Zu. Huang Zu was drunk and couldn't stand Miheng's satire, and was finally beheaded by a sword. Cao Cao was glad to have achieved his goal. Dong Cheng and others conspired with Ji Ping, a doctor too much, to poison Cao Cao. As a result, Cao Cao brutally killed Jiping and put Dong Cheng and his family in prison.

Interpretation of Chapter 23 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms;

Cao Cao began to "set up a game" to pretend to be sick: if he didn't pretend to be sick, Ji Ping took the bait. Ji Ping thinks he has answers: Ah, here comes the opportunity! So he secretly tampered with the medicine.

Cao Cao already knew what to do and deliberately delayed. Let's see what tricks Jiping can play. He deliberately said without taking medicine, "Just eat while it's hot and sweat less." It shows that Jiping is a little impatient. Cao Cao said: "Only by reading Confucian books can we know the etiquette and righteousness: if there is a disease, I will taste it first;" Father wants to drink medicine when he is sick, and son tastes it first. Ironically, you are my confidant, and Jiping is called "confidant" in this sentence.

Then Cao Cao cleverly gave Jiping a difficult problem: you give me a taste first. Ji Pinglian said no, no-actually, I dare not taste it. Jiping knew that things had been exposed, so he grabbed the bowl and tried to force Cao Cao to fill it. When Cao Cao pushed it, the medicine spilled on the ground and all the bricks exploded. It can be seen that the drug is extremely toxic. Before Cao Cao could speak, Jiping was pulled around. It shows that nature has long been arranged, and there are many guards lurking under the account.
