Chapter 75 Chapter 75 The artistic conception of "Chong"

"Chong" means Sichuan dialect, the so-called Chongmao shell.If you use the words of the Northeast people, it is much more concise, it is just bragging. The word bragging is familiar to us, but what does it mean? Let's take a look at this word blowing first.Blowing characters are composed of a word for mouth and a word for owe.The word of mouth is a big mouth, we all know this, but what does owe mean?The person who owes, owes, and lacks, expresses the debt of our hearts-we owe each other. The word owe is made up of two people, the one above is a deformed villain, but in turn suppresses the normal person below.Using our abnormality to suppress the normality of the other party has become our spiritual debt. We feel that we are sorry for the other party and have deceived the other party.The way we successfully deceive each other is nothing more than a mouth.

About this mouth, a book has a detailed explanation: During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen monopolized the government and devoted himself to recovering the Central Plains. So he led his people across the Huaihe River and Sishui River and entered the northern territory. The fall of China, the palaces turned into ruins, and the common people reduced to dust are all the responsibility of the former scholar-bureaucrats." After hearing this, a famous scholar named Yuan Hong blurted out a sentence without thinking: "Personnel affairs have metabolism, communication Success in the past and the present, success or failure in the ups and downs, this is an inevitable law of its historical development, and has nothing to do with people."

Hearing Yuan Hong's words, Huan Wen was very upset, so he looked at the people in the four seats and said, "Have you ever heard of Jingzhou Mu Liubiao's big cow? It was during the Three Kingdoms period. Jingzhou Mu Liubiao raised such a big cow. Gun ox weighs more than a thousand catties, with smooth fur and horns. The daily feed alone is more than ten times that of ordinary cows. But this cow has only one ability to eat grass. Work When Cao Cao came to Jingzhou, he was no better than an old cow. What was the use of raising such a large-bodied cow? So when Cao Cao invaded Jingzhou, the first thing he did was to kill this big cow. The bulls were captured and killed, and the beef was given to the soldiers to eat, and the people in Jingzhou at that time applauded."

The cow Huan Wen mentioned is the highest level of bragging in life. Look at this cow, it tastes worse than anyone else, and it is worse than anyone else in its work, but it has obtained a very high status and treatment from Jingzhou Mu Liubiao.If we must investigate Liu Biao's real purpose for raising this big bull, I'm afraid it will make the heroes of the world feel cold.The reason why Liu Biao admired this cow is that it has a huge mouth and eats a lot, which cannot be compared with ordinary cows. Is having a big mouth an advantage? Having a big mouth, being able to brag and daring to brag is not only an advantage, but also a magic weapon to win in the officialdom.For example, in the first year of Longxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1163), there was a man named Hu Fang, who was good at talking big, exaggerating, and walking among the courtiers. As the number one genius in the world, everyone wrote letters one after another, strongly urging the emperor to reuse him.So the emperor made him a transshipment envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang.So this person gave a big banquet to the guests and continued to carry forward his boastful speech style. During the dinner, he looked around and said with deep emotion: "The officials and nobles of the imperial court bought our heads, isn't it terrible?"

After hearing Hu Fang's words, everyone felt the same and nodded repeatedly.At this time, a commoner in the seat blurted out: "The imperial court's official ranks not only buy heroes' heads, but also buy empty words." Hu Fang was so angry that he had no words to answer. The cowhide was pierced by an unknown commoner, which was a big disappointment.However, ordinary people are alienated from the rules and culture of officialdom, and they don't know that in this world, big words are easy to talk about, but big things are hard to do.Hu Fang dared to go against the wind and go against the trend. The boldness of this big talk alone is convincing.Just imagine the countless cowardly officials in the officialdom. Compared with Hu Fang, who is full of pride, if Hu Fang is not an official, who is qualified to be an official?If Hu Fang is not promoted, who is eligible for promotion?

There are many kinds of big talk, but the most successful big talk in the past and present is Xu Fu's journey to the east in search of immortals in the era of Qin Shihuang. At that time, Qin Shihuang swept Liuhe, unified China, and became the first emperor in Chinese history.The only deficiency he felt was that he could not live forever and continue his wealth forever.At this time, a alchemist Xu Fu asked to see him, saying that there was a fairy mountain in the sea, and the mountain was in the void, and there lived immortal immortals on the fairy mountain, who sucked the wind and drank the dew, gracefully like a virgin.Hearing that Qin Shihuang's blood was boiling, he immediately ordered people to cast a huge ship, loaded with countless gold treasures, and asked Xu Fu to go to sea to find the immortals.

But not long after Xu Fu left, he returned and said that there was a huge whale blocking the way in the sea, preventing everyone from getting through.Qin Shihuang was very angry, so he sent archers to go with the boat, and selected 500 virgins and 500 virgins, and handed them over to Xu Fu to lead.This time, Xu Fu brought the five hundred virgins and five hundred virgins to a deserted island, where they lived there and lived a happy life without an emperor.Some people say that this island is Japan, while others say that this island is Ryukyu.But no matter where it is, if Xu Fu hadn't dared to brag and brag, he would not be able to escape the tyrant's rule with these thousand children.

In the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a new generation of braggarts was born.This time it turned out to be a bragging gang, one named Li Shaojun and the other Zhang Guolao.It is said that as soon as the two men went to court, the famous official Dongfang Shuo hurriedly hid. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked why, and Li Shaojun smiled and said: "This Dongfang Shuo is the thief who went to the heaven to steal the fairy peach that year." It can be seen that, Dongfang Shuo turned out to be the insider of this group of braggarts.Ever since this group of people came to the court, the court has been in a mess.Once, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Li Shaojun how old Zhang Guo was, but Li Shaojun was determined not to tell. The more he kept silent, the more curious Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became, and the more he wanted to know.In the end, Li Shaojun said that it was okay to let him speak, but he was afraid that once he said it, he would die, unless Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Zhang Guolao to intercede for him.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty agreed to Li Shaojun's request, so Li Shaojun revealed the secret, saying: "Zhang Guo is always a bat spirit in the chaotic era before the universe is completed." With a kick, he was actually dead.Emperor Wu of the Han had no choice but to run away to beg Zhang Guolao, and after all he said, Zhang Guolao agreed to spare Li Shaojun, so Li Shaojun came back to life. Later, once when Li Shaojun and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were going out, they met a cow on the way. Li Shaojun stared at it and told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Slaughter that cow quickly. There is a heavenly book in the belly of that cow." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty acted according to his words. Sure enough, a silk book was pulled out from the cow's belly.But after the incident, the more Emperor Wu of the Han thought about the matter, the more wrong it became, so he arrested the man who led the cow. After some torture, the man who led the cow told the truth.Sure enough, the scriptures in the cow's belly were stuffed by Li Shaojun in advance.

Realizing that he had been played by these liars, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and immediately pushed Li Shaojun out and chopped off his head.But not long after, someone came back from other places and told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that they met Li Shaojun on the road, and Li Shaojun greeted them warmly... So is Li Shaojun dead or alive? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was completely confused. He didn't understand this strange question until his death. People like Xu Fu and Zhang Guolao have perfected their bragging skills. It is really a wonderful joy in life to use such wisdom to play tricks on those in power.
