Chapter 5 Mi Heng: The most impactful drummer

Mi Heng, courtesy name Zhengping, was born in Banxian County, Pingyuan County, in today's Linyi, Shandong. Mi Heng's appearance is strange and different. He was tall and thin, with a large head.From a distance, it looks like a steamed bun on a toothpick.When he was talking to others, he liked to shake his head, and the people around him were worried that if he didn't pay attention, his head would fall off and hit their feet. Mi Heng's father is a businessman, and he is very talkative. He can turn a dead horse into a live horse, and an old product three years ago can be said to have just been plucked from the branch.My mother is a shrew who is good at cursing, she would stand at the door and scold for a long time if she threw a needle.If you are not convinced, you will scold them and argue back and forth.Your mother can make sense out of unreasonable things, and tell eight out of one reason.Your mother has a nickname, "Qianzuibubai".

Mi Heng has read poetry and books, and has been influenced by his family since he was a child. He has a very high level of debate.The nickname was inherited from his mother, also known as "Qianzui Bubai". When Mi Heng was nine years old, a new neighbor moved in next door.In those few years, the neighbors of Mi Heng's family changed frequently, and they couldn't stand Mi Heng's mother's anger.In ancient times, Meng's mother moved three times, and they were happy to move. Although it was a bit troublesome, they wanted to be quiet.The new neighbors of Mi Heng's family are no different from those before, and the housewife is also a quarrelsome person, nicknamed "Wanzui Bubai".Ye was speechless when talking about Ni Heng's mother, only gasping for breath, unable to finish a half sentence.

At first, Ni Heng's mother felt that she had met an opponent, she was full of energy, and became more courageous as she fought, but she was very depressed when she was always defeated. Gradually, her spirit became a little split, and she bullied her husband with words when she returned home.But her husband is often not at home, so she has no choice but to use Miheng to relieve her hatred. She called her son over and scolded, you must be a great general in the future, ransack the entire family of XX, and leave no one behind, otherwise, I will beat you to death.Hit with a rolling pin.She didn't spank her son's butt like ordinary parents. The piece is soft and won't break it. She hit Mi Heng's head. When she spanked, it was very exciting.The point is, she took Mi Heng's head as the head of her neighbor's when she hit her, and the more she hit, the more vigorous she was.As time passed, Mi Heng's head became bigger and bigger, and he often had a strange feeling of bursting.

When you Heng was fifteen years old, both parents died.He felt empty and alone. In addition, reading alone can no longer survive.He wants to find a job.His relatives and neighbors felt sorry for him and found him many jobs.But he couldn't stand it.If you work for a long time, it will take a month, or if you do it for a day, you will have a falling out with others.He inherited his mother's tradition of cursing, gnashing his teeth, stomping his feet and beating his chest, wanting to die.Who would dare to want such a person!He lost his job.After being unemployed, he had nothing to do. He wore weird and worn-out clothes with arms and legs exposed, holding a volume of poetry and reading aloud on the street.

On this day, when passing by the county government office, he suddenly heard the sound of drums beating, and Mi Heng's head suddenly woke up.he yelled, I finally found something I love to do.So, I went to the county government to find the magistrate, and wanted to learn how to play drums.The county magistrate has little knowledge and average ability, but he is a philanthropist and likes to do public welfare undertakings.Knowing that Mi Heng is an orphan with nowhere to live, she took pity on him and took him in, and let him learn how to play drums with the drummer Lao Tou. In this way, Mi Heng settled down in the county government.Mi Heng played drums very passionately, holding the drumsticks in his hand, at first he beat them one by one, gradually getting better, until he beat wildly.In front of his eyes is sometimes the scene of his mother holding a rolling pin, sometimes a river rushing, sometimes thousands of people singing in chorus, and sometimes thousands of troops rushing to kill.After a drumbeat, it is often profusely sweating, as if fighting a battle, scolding a fight, so happy!

Drumming during the day and reading at night until the age of twenty.That year, the old county magistrate retired, and the new county magistrate could not understand Mi Heng and resigned Mi Heng.Before leaving, Mi Heng beat the drum and scolded the new county magistrate, scolding the county magistrate so badly.The new county magistrate thought, grandma's crazy! At this time, Mi Heng couldn't stay here any longer, and felt that his head was full of knowledge and his stomach was swollen with knowledge.He just dangled his head full of learning and his belly full of knowledge, standing on the small town tower in his hometown, looking around.

The world is in chaos, and there are princes everywhere.It is said that today's son Xiandi was riding in Xuchang, and Ni Heng came to Xuchang on foot. As soon as Mi Heng arrived in Xuchang, he made friends with Kong Rong, a famous man in the world.At that time, Kong Rong was already in his forties, and he was twenty years younger than Mi Heng.Although they are of different ages, they have a lot of common language and can talk well.Kong Rong introduced another friend, Yang Xiu, to him, and they talked thoroughly.The three often talked all night long, tirelessly. Mi Heng said to others, there is no one in this world that I value highly, only Lu Guo Kong Rong and Hongnong Yang Xiu, in my eyes and in my heart I can put it down.

Kong Rong often met Cao Cao face to face.Cao Cao asked, which wise men have you befriended recently? Kong Rong said, Ni Heng, this man is amazing. Cao Cao smiled, never heard of it. Kong Rong praised Mi Heng's knowledge to Cao Cao. After a while, Cao Cao asked Kong Rong again, who are some of our wise men? Kong Rong said, only Ni Heng. If so many times, Cao Cao said, please bring it to me. Kong Rong came back and said to Mi Heng, I will take you to see the prime minister tomorrow.Mi Heng asked, which prime minister?Kong Rong said, Mr. Cao.Mi Heng shook his head and refused to go.Kong Rong asked, why?You Heng said, how can I meet a national thief?I'm going straight to see the Son of Heaven.

Kong Rong sighed and said that although the surname is Han in today's world, it is the prime minister Cao Cao who has the final say. To see the emperor, he must go through the prime minister's political review. Mi Heng said, anyway, I won't go.Such a push, pushed for several years. Cao Cao is angry, he must come, if he doesn't come, he will be at his own risk. Mi Heng wanted to continue to be tough, but felt that it was unnecessary, so let's see if you see me, and see what you can do to me! It was a sunny day, and under the guidance of Kong Rong, Mi Heng met Cao Cao.Seeing Cao Cao, he was very arrogant, just nodded without bending his waist.

Cao Cao didn't blame him.Seeing Mi Heng's strange description, he secretly marveled in his heart: if there is a strange appearance, there must be a strange ability.When asked, Mi Heng answered fluently. It is true that he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Cao Cao appreciated his talent and wanted to keep it for his own use. Cao Cao said, sir, would you like to stay in the prime minister's mansion and give Cao a lesson sooner or later?You Heng laughed and said, "I have learned literary and martial arts, and I sell goods to the emperor's family. I am a citizen of the Han Dynasty. I should assist the emperor and stand on top of the temple. How can I be an official in the prime minister's mansion!"

Cao Cao was very unhappy. He pointed to the civil and military personnel on both sides and said, there are so many talents on my side. Mi Heng looked at both sides, laughed, and said, I know all these characters. Xun Yu can make mourning and asking about illnesses, Xun You can make Kandun guard the tomb, Cheng Yu can make the door closed, Guo Jia can make Baici recite Fu, Zhang Liao can make drums beat gold, Xu Chu can make cattle herd horses, Li Dian can make To pass on letters and deliver them, Yue Jin can make them read and write; Xu Huang can make pigs and dogs slaughtered; Yujin can make negative plates build walls; People call him "General Whole Body", and Cao Zixiao calls him "Prefect Who Asks for Money".The rest are wine barrels, meat sacs and rice bag ears. This scolding has ruined all these civil and military affairs, especially Xiahou Dun.Dare to feel that this general has defective eyes. He was shot and injured one during the battle, but he was ironically turned into a perfect general. There is also Xu Huang, who made a living by killing pigs and dogs and selling meat when he was young, and this little thing has also been shaken out.They all wanted to kill Mi Heng.Cao Cao stopped him.Cao Cao also wanted to kill Miheng, but he was afraid that he would be reputed to be a virtuous person, and because of Kong Rong's face.He wanted to let him go, but felt that it was too cheap for him, so he said, tomorrow I will have a big banquet with guests, and my husband should also come and have a drink or two.Cao Cao wanted him to see his pomp, so he could ridicule him in public to save face. The next day, the prime minister's mansion was full of guests, including Cao Cao's powerful civil and military personnel. The scene was really big, and the hall was very lively. Mi Heng really came, but he was dressed differently. It was the patchwork clothes he wore when he fell ill in his hometown, and he looked like the leader of the beggar gang.Ragged clothes, disheveled.He swaggered into the hall.No one answered, just sat down on the guest-of-honor table, and began to eat and drink like no one else was there. It doesn't matter if he sits down, everyone at the table is scared away. Cao Cao frowned and said, Mr. You, aren't you good at playing drums?You can act as a drummer for me. Daringly, Cao Cao has figured out Mi Heng's background.This is called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, and never ending a hundred battles. More than a hundred pairs of eyes were staring at Mi Heng, they thought this guy would dismiss him. Unexpectedly, Mi Heng readily agreed. Palace etiquette has very strict requirements on the clothes of drummers, and Mi Heng's shabby outfit must never play drums.Cao Cao asked someone to change him into the standard outfit of a drummer.Mi Heng really changed, but he didn't go to the locker room.He stood up, and slowly took off the patchwork clothes on his body in front of the public. He played with naked body art, and then slowly changed into a new attire. The guests all turned their faces away, not looking at the filthy body. Mi Heng doesn't care about these, it seems that he is the only one in this huge hall, and the others are all little ants.He raised the sticks and began to strike. Boom boom boom boom boom... As the drumbeat fell, it became more and more urgent, and Mi Heng became more and more frantic on the stage, and her head seemed to explode.Anger poured down like a torrential rain, pouring down on his past and present lives, and inspiring his resistance and hatred.Along with the drumbeat and the heavy rain, he cursed loudly, and in the sound of cursing, the whole world was turned upside down, and suddenly there was a sunny, peaceful and prosperous scene in his eyes!When the last drumbeat fell, a big hole was broken on the surface of the drum, and a white light rushed to the roof. Mi Heng threw a double mallet, her whole body was wet, her long hair fluttered, and her face was as white as paper. Everything came to an abrupt end, and the hall was completely silent. . Cao Cao was stunned. Wen Wu also stayed. Since his birth, Cao Cao has commanded thousands of troops and fought in all directions.After more than a hundred battles, big and small, my ears were filled with various sounds, the sound of killing was loud, the neighing of war horses, and the sound of war drums was loud.He was used to these sounds, even obsessed with them.These voices made him calm and composed, made him full of pride, made him risk his life to fight, and made him win. Even in Xiangfu's sleep, he often heard these voices.With these voices in his dream, he could sleep soundly and peacefully, and even smile.However, no sound could be as powerful as today's drumbeat, which made him terrified, as if two fierce gods with golden blunt instruments struck him hard on the head, causing his head to burst open and his soul to come out of his body , he uttered a desperate roar and fainted to the ground. Amid the shouts of the crowd, Cao Cao woke up and returned to reality from fantasy.He knew that he had failed today, a complete failure.He suppressed the fire, and came up with a self-mockery: He wanted to humiliate Mi Heng, but he didn't lose money, but was humiliated by this kid instead, haha.Order Miheng, okay, okay, step back.Mi Heng stood still.Cao Cao summoned two tiger and ben guards, prepared three good horses, set Mi Heng down from the hall, and "please" leave Xuchang. You Heng shook his head and stood outside Xuchang City, he spat hard, hum, I will be back.I want to lobby the princes of the world to crusade against you! Mi Heng first went to Hebei to ask Yuan Shao to see him.When Yuan Shao saw Mi Heng's gigantic head, he felt as if he was blocked by something.Yuan Shao rejected Mi Heng's request to attack Xuchang. Mi Heng came to Jingzhou again.Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, was very polite, but he shook his head again and again when he heard Mi Heng urging him to attack Xuchang.Liu Biao said that the people of Jingzhou need peace and do not want to be involved in unnecessary wars. Even so, Liu Biao was very polite to Mi Heng.Mi Heng was also very polite, and praised Liu Biao like a flower with good words.Liu Biao was dizzy, but his heart was beautiful.But his subordinates noticed it, and said, General, Mi Heng praised you on the surface, but he was actually hurting you.Liu Biao thought about it carefully, and found that it was really the case.He wanted to deal with him, but felt it was wrong, so he endured it and kicked Mi Heng to Jiangxia Huangzu. One autumn morning, the weather along the Yangtze River was cloudy and rainy.Mi Heng met Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, by the river.Another inspiration flashed in Mi Heng's head.He said to Huang Zu, Liu Biao is like a dog guarding the household, and it is difficult to achieve great things. Why don't the general take Jingzhou to kill Liu Biao, and then attack Cao Cao in the north to help the Han Dynasty. Huang Zu was so dizzy that he couldn't find the north.I said in my heart that everyone said that Mi Heng likes to scold people, and her mouth hurts if she doesn't scold others. When I saw you today, I realized that it was nonsense. He is a very good person. Huang Zu's subordinates were very sober.The subordinates said, You Heng is not helping the general, but actually harming the general. He wants to use your strength to achieve his political goals. The general should get rid of this person to avoid future troubles.Huang Zu was a soft-hearted man, so he beheaded Mi Heng by the river. Huang Zu put Mi Heng's big head in a box and gave it to Liu Biao.Liu Biao sent the box to Cao Cao again. Cao Cao sighed when he saw Mi Heng's big head, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity that you are so knowledgeable! Cao Cao took advantage of the topic, and his opponent, Wen Wu, said that if a person has a lot of talent but can't make a full use of it, it is better for a person with a lot of talent to give a little bit of his talent to benefit the country and society.Another point is the direction. One cannot stand on the wrong team. Once on the wrong team, it will be game over.No matter how smart and knowledgeable a person like Mi Heng is, he is still a waste.Everyone said, right? Everyone said in unison, yes, yes. Only Kong Rong remained silent. Cao Cao was about to explain to Kong Rong when he heard thunder outside the hall. Xudu encountered the first heavy rain since the beginning of summer. Biography of Mi Heng Mi Heng (173-198) was a Fu writer in the late Han Dynasty, with the word Zhengping.A native of Pingyuan Ban (now Deping Town, Linyi, Shandong).He has little ability to argue, and his character is resolute and arrogant, and he is good at insulting the powerful.Because he refused Cao Cao's summoning, Cao Cao was angry, because of his talent and reputation, he didn't want to kill him, so he was punished as a drummer, while Ni Heng played drums naked in public, humiliating Cao Cao.Cao Cao was furious and wanted to kill him by hand, because he was sent to Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou.Still disagreeing, Liu Biao sent him to Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia.Later, he was killed for offending Huang Zu. Mi Heng's representative work "Fu on Parrot" is a work that expresses one's ambitions through things.The Fu describes a parrot with "extraordinary posture" and "extraordinary wisdom", but unfortunately was "closed in a carved cage and cut its wings and feathers" and lost its freedom.In the Fu, the unfree life of "following the cage threshold to look up, peeping at the door and hesitating", "Gu Liuhe's destruction, although it is as fast as it is", is obviously a parrot, expressing the anger and depression of a talented person born in troubled times The mood reflects the author's strong dissatisfaction with the political darkness at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.This Fu has a profound meaning, the appearance is small, and the emotion is deep. It is an excellent work among the small Fus in the late Han Dynasty.There are also "Hanging Zhang Hengwen" and "Wen Xin Diao Long · Ai Diao", which are called "beautiful and light". "Sui Shu·Jing Ji Zhi" has two volumes of "Mi Heng Ji", which have been lost for a long time.For the existing texts and prose, see Yan Kejun's "All Ancient Three Dynasties, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms and Six Dynasties".
