Chapter 34 3. Human nature cannot withstand temptation

Speaking of Zhang Er and Chen Yu's old brothers, that is an iron friendship.Both of them are from the Liang Dynasty of Wei State, they have the same temperament and hobbies, and even their backgrounds are the same.Both of them are poor people who love to read and have wisdom. They also succeeded in counterattacking Bai Fumei and changed their destiny. Zhang Er's wife is the daughter of a wealthy family. Because the husband she married was uneducated and lacked spiritual communication, the woman was very depressed, so she remarried to Zhang Er and brought Zhang Er a huge dowry.Chen Yu's situation was similar. Although he was very poor, he was picked up by a rich family who insisted on sending him a beautiful daughter with a huge dowry.The story of two poor losers attacking Bai Fumei suddenly became a good story.

But when Qin Shihuang wiped out the six countries and hunted down outstanding intellectuals from all over the world, Zhang Er and Chen Yu were famous and ranked first in the list of official documents.So the two fled to Chen County together and worked as gatekeepers in the county government.Every day, the two stood facing each other and looked at the doors for several years without losing a single door panel.Once, a small official beat Chen Yu for a small mistake. Chen Yu was furious and wanted to kill the official on the spot, but was dissuaded by Zhang Er.At that time, Zhang Er said: "Small intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans. We must cherish our useful bodies so that we can express our ambitions in the future."

Later, Chen Sheng rose up and went straight to Chen County to become king.Zhang Er and Chen Yu finally came out of the mountains. Although they could not prevent Chen Sheng from claiming the king, they followed Chen Sheng's general Wuchen to the state of Zhao and persuaded Wuchen to become the king of Zhao.This incident angered Chen Sheng, and almost killed the whole family of Wuchen, but was stopped after being persuaded.After that, the two experienced the Li Liang Rebellion caused by Wu Chen's sister. The two worked together to repel Li Liang and re-establish the Zhao State. In short, Zhang Er and Chen Yu, the two lived and died together, fighting side by side, as the saying goes, Zhang does not leave Chen, Chen does not leave Zhang, the level of mutual trust has surpassed that of brothers.

But it is precisely because the relationship between the two is so good that they expect too much from each other. Once the expectations fail, quarrels will inevitably arise.Zhang Er finally breathed a long sigh of relief after this victory in the Battle of Julu. When he met Chen Yu, he scolded and said, "Old Chen, you let me down so much. You have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in your hands, but you sit back and watch Qin soldiers attack Julu." Deer, you have broken the promise we made in the past to live and die together." Being blamed by Zhang Er, Chen Yu didn't dare to say anything, because it was indeed his fault.But Zhang Er is holding back his breath too much, it's not like you just let it go without saying a word.Zhang Er must trouble Chen Yu and force Chen Yu to admit his mistake.

So Zhang Er asked: "By the way, old Chen, I sent Zhang Wei and Chen Ze to ask you for help. Why didn't I see them come back? Where are they now?" Zhang Er knew about the death of Zhang Yan and Chen Ze in the battle, but he pretended not to know, in order to embarrass Chen Yu. Chen Yu could only say: "Zhang Wei and Chen Ze, they both rushed to the battle and died." Zhang Er laughed loudly: "Don't tease Lao Chen, how is this possible? I asked the two of them to ask for help from you, not the two of them to go to the battle. If the two of them really want to go to the battle, don't you Will you stop it? Right, Old Chen?"

Chen Yu: "You..." Chen Yu found that he couldn't speak clearly.Seeing that Chen Yu couldn't explain clearly, Zhang Er was overjoyed, and repeatedly asked where Zhang Wei and Chen Ze were, and hinted that Chen Yu had killed them.In this way, he kept asking endlessly, which made Chen Yu explode. Chen Yu said angrily: "I didn't expect you to hate me so much. Do you think I'm reluctant to hand over the general seal?" Chen Yu's behavior is typical of anger from embarrassment, because he made a mistake first, so he was eaten to death by Zhang Er.But he also has a reasonable explanation for his mistakes.Chen Yu's explanation was that after the death of King Xie and Zhang Er of Zhao, he would restore the state of Zhao.But this explanation can only be explained to himself, but it is impossible to get Zhang Er's approval. If Zhang Er hears it, he will be even more annoyed.

In short, Chen Yu thought he was right, but he couldn't get Zhang Er's understanding, so in anger, he removed the seal of the general and pushed it to Zhang Er. Unexpectedly, Chen Yu became impatient, and Zhang Er was also embarrassed. When he was at a loss, Chen Yu got up angrily and threatened to go to the toilet.In fact, he wanted to use this to force Zhang Er and embarrass Zhang Er.Unexpectedly, he walked away on his front foot, and a guy appeared on his back foot, suggesting to Zhang Er: "I heard that if God doesn't take it, you will suffer instead. Now Chen Yu handed back the seal of the general, if you don't It's not a very auspicious thing to answer." Hearing this, Zhang Er simply gritted his teeth, and really put away the general's seal.

After a while, Chen Yuhuang wandered back, and was surprised to find that Zhang Er actually took away his general seal.At that time, Chen Yu's heart was cold, and he thought that talking about good brothers who lived and died together was not a fucking good thing.At this time, he was even more worried that Zhang Erfa would kill him, so he hurried out, took more than a hundred of his cronies, and fled to the swamp by the Yellow River, hunting for a living from then on. Zhang Er and Chen Yu make the relationship stiff, which is the most common phenomenon in human society.At first, neither of the two expected this result, they just kept blaming each other in order to vent their psychological imbalance.The blame comes and goes, and finally the other party is forced to lose his reason and turn his face to a showdown.

In the matter of Zhang Er and Chen Yu, Chen Yu's biggest mistake was that he should not remove the seal of the general. He did this because he thought that Zhang Er cherished his reputation and would not dare to take back the seal of the general. Even if you win.However, he forgot that human nature likes to be arrogant and can't stand temptation.Zhang Er knew that Chen Yu didn't think he dared to accept the seal, so he chose to accept the seal and took advantage of his anger to take back his power. As a result, he completely messed up a brotherhood that could have been immortalized forever.

According to "Historical Records: Biography of Zhang Er and Chen Yu", as early as when Liu Bang was still a commoner, he had a relationship with Zhang Er and lived in Zhang Er's house for several months.This shows that Liu Bang also appreciates the wisdom of Zhang Er and Chen Yu, but most of Zhang Er and Chen Yu's wisdom comes from books, and it is far from the on-site game situation of human nature.And Liu Bang is the master of wisdom who truly understands people's hearts and human nature. What is achieved on paper is always shallow, and I know that this matter must be done.Zhang Er and Chen Yu are book-type wisdom, while Liu Bang's wisdom comes from practice.Therefore, Liu Bang's life has continuously pulled out the Xiaoyang line and gradually raised it.But Zhang Er and Chen Yu gradually faded out of the world's sight and became a supporting role on the stage of Liu Bang's life.
