Because the Cao family overthrew the Western Han Dynasty and established the Cao Wei, many people later belittled Cao Mengde, especially when the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which praised Liu Bei, was born, Cao Mengde was regarded as a traitor who stole the Han Dynasty. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a lot of dirty water was spilled on Cao Mengde, such as the famous? I would rather lose the world than the world lose me? This sentence was not said by Cao Mengde, but was invented in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is not true that Cao Mengde was killed after writing a short song.
1. famous sentence: a short line of songs. There are two short ballads * * *, the most famous of which should be the first "Drinking for Songs", which expresses the desire for sages and decides the world once, while the second "Zhou Xibochang" expresses the loyalty to the world and Hanwang through historical figures. Singing about wine is usually considered as one of Cao Mengde's most classic poems. His writing background and time are unknown. Some people think it may be a poem written before Battle of Red Cliffs; Another way of saying it is that this poem was specially written by Cao Mengde in order to collect good ministers, and it was entirely for political service; There is also a saying that Cao Mengde moved the capital to Xudu with Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, and when celebrating with his ministers, they sang songs to make peace.
"Short song? Singing a song about wine not only expresses Cao Mengde's yearning for the wise man, but also expresses his feelings, which is very infectious. Poetry is catchy, magnificent and sublime, which can highlight Cao Mengde's broad-minded mind and lofty aspirations. Cao Mengde's literary talent is amazing.
2. A fabricated murder plot. From the above, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms only conforms to the mainstream view about Battle of Red Cliffs and the birth of short songs, but it is not a definite thing. Does Cao Mengde really have time to write poems in the face of the coming war? Even if you are sure to win, why write poems for the wise? This is obviously inconsistent with the tense atmosphere on the battlefield.
The plot of Cao Mengde's murder in the book is very simple. When Cao Mengde was in Chibi, he wrote a poem with great interest. One side of Yangzhou secretariat Liu Fu jumped out and said,? The black magpie flew south and circled the tree three times. What branches can you rely on? It's so unlucky. As a result, Liu Fu was stabbed to death by Cao Mengde. However, such a death is too hasty. When the war is about to begin, it is meaningless to kill your own general first. Cao Mengde is not afraid of unstable morale? I don't think an old scoundrel like Cao Mengde would make such a mistake.
Liu Fu, the secretariat of Yangzhou, is a minister under Cao Mengde. The battle of Guandu was ordered to take over Yangzhou, which was attacked by Sun Ce and was in chaos. He also managed Yangzhou in an orderly way and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Later, he died in Battle of Red Cliffs that year, so he was included in the plot of murdering Cao Mengde in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In fact, Cao Mengde did not kill Liu Fu, the Yangzhou secretariat.
3. Purpose: To belittle Cao Mengde's character. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms adds so many untrue plots because it is a derivative novel that belittles Cao Mengde. There is a historical basis, but it cannot be equated with historical facts. Cao Mengde has a good literary talent and can write "short songs", but in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this is a compliment to Cao Mengde. But with the plot of killing the courtiers who questioned him, Cao Mengde changed from a literary poet to a tyrannical tyrant.
Generally speaking, short songs are considered as the most murderous poems because of stories fabricated by later generations. Cao Mengde is really a great man, not only gifted, but also able to lead troops to fight and stabilize the imperial court. He is not the adulterer you know.
