Chapter 42 Chapter Forty-Two

When the Sima family, which "holds the emperor to order the princes", stretched out the fishing rod tied with high-ranking officials and generous salary to the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", Shan Tao and Wang Rong, who had a strong desire for fame and fame, couldn't sit still, and they slipped out of the bamboo forest. As a senior civil servant, he embarked on the path of serving the Sima family.Jealous of evil, Ji Kang, who couldn't bear the sand in his eyes, became angry, and the fire was raging in his chest, but he hadn't found a breakthrough yet. After Shan Tao was promoted to a new post, he was foolish enough to recommend Ji Kang to his previous post. Ji Kang, the active volcano, finally erupted. The annals of "Severance of Diplomacy with Shan Juyuan (that is, Shan Tao)".In this magnificent work, Ji Kang first criticized and satirized Shan Tao, who was not firm in his ambition, and then eloquently listed "seven unbearable" and "two very unbearable", showing that he did not want to be an official, admired Lao Zhuang, and despised The heart of feudal ethics, and ridiculed and criticized the Sima ruling group.

"Letter of Breaking Friendship with Shan Juyuan" is like a declaration of Ji Kang's public break with Sima, which finally brought him the disaster of killing himself, but Ji Kang never regretted his death, and his heart was like a jade stone.What is jaw-dropping and shocking is that he actually entrusted his children to Mr. Shan Tao before his death. According to the "Book of Jin", when Ji Kang said goodbye to his relatives, he looked at his two children, and said such a thought-provoking sentence affectionately and reassuringly: Alone!Because he knows that although Shan Tao has different political choices from him, he is definitely a generous, kind, honest and trustworthy elder (Shan Tao is more than 20 years older than Ji Kang).

Facts have proved that Ji Kang saw the right person. Shan Tao not only raised Ji Kang's children, but also recommended Ji Shao (Ji Kang's son) to take up an important official position.Ji Kang and Shan Tao jointly performed a historical story of "gentlemen are harmonious but different". Then, how did the last years of Ji Kang's life, the outstanding talent, be swayed on the stage of history? dead now Just when Sima Zhao hated Ji Kang so much that his gums swelled and almost spurted blood because of the "Letter of Breaking Friendship with Shan Juyuan", an unjust case brought Ji Kang into it. I don't know if Sima Zhao excitedly shouted "God help me!" Also!" After that, he forgot to sleep and eat excitedly, circling around the room.

It turned out that Lu Xun, brother of Ji Kang's good friend Lu An, had raped his sister-in-law Xu, but the villain first sued and accused Lu An of "unfilial piety". As a result, the unlucky Lu An was imprisoned.After hearing the news, Ji Kang, who is so righteous, was filled with righteous indignation and tried his best to rescue him.Unfortunately, when he was testifying for his friend, he happened to meet Zhong Hui, who avenged his personal revenge and sent Ji Kang to prison for "disordering the masses and confusing the masses". Before Ji Kang was about to be executed, he looked at the shadow of the sun, played the qin, and played his favorite piece calmly. At the end of the piece, Ji Kang sighed: "It's over now!" and then went to die generously.Everyone in the world regrets hearing it.
