Chapter 294 "The Gods and Monsters of Historians, the Magic of Li Sao"
【Lying on the Ice to Seek Carp: Wang Xiang, courtesy name Xiuhui, was a native of Langya. He was a minister during the Three Kingdoms period and the Western Jin Dynasty. His biological mother died early, and his father's stepmother, Zhu, was mean. She often spoke ill of Wang Xiang in front of his father, making him unpopular with his father.
After his parents fell ill, Wang Xiang was extremely filial and served them by their bedside without taking off his clothes. Zhu wanted to eat live carp, but it was a very cold winter, so Wang Xiang took off his clothes and lay on the ice, melting the ice with his body temperature. Two carp jumped out automatically, and after his stepmother ate them, she was cured.
Sharp Comment: One word: "6". That's Wang of Langya! Wang and Ma share the world! Is he poor? Is he a fool?
Well, let's not talk about this for now. Let's just say that you can try lying on the ice to see if it melts. It's too counterintuitive. The first part of this story may be true, the stepmother is not kind, the father does not love. Wang Xiang's filial behavior is also true. But the second half of the story is definitely not what we know, it has been 100% tampered by later generations. Just to promote foolish filial piety! 】
＜The Wang family in “The Swallows in the Halls of Wang and Xie in the Old Days”! A great family! ＞
＜Wang Xiang——The man who established the Wang family’s status!＞
＜Wang Xiang had an excellent political sense. He first lived in seclusion for 20 years in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, not participating in the struggles between the various parties, and then joined Cao Wei after the situation became clear. When Wuqiu Jian was dissatisfied with the powerful minister Sima Shi for deposing the young emperor and killing his good friend Xiahou Xuan and others, he raised an army. Wang Xiang followed Sima Shi to suppress the rebellion and was awarded a title for his merits.
Sima Zhao became the King of Jin, and Wang Xiang was valued by him because he refused to pay homage. Later, he was made the Grand Commandant and was granted the title of Marquis. After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan still respected him, appointed him the Grand Protector, and promoted him to the Duke of Suiling, making him one of the "Eight Dukes" in the early Western Jin Dynasty. >
＜I really feel that my stepmother is very miserable＞
＜My stepmother is fine. I checked later and found that Wang Xiang treated her very well＞
＜I heard that this is the first of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars? I think the ancients were really good at promoting foolish filial piety [thumbs-up]＞
＜Stories are too common, so people just listen and forget about it, and won’t be interested. But if you slightly edit it and add some unreasonable plots, people will be very interested and continue to listen.＞
＜Exaggerated techniques are more attractive＞
[Liu Yuxi, 13th year of Tang Yuanhe: "In the old days, the swallows in front of the halls of Wang and Xie flew into the homes of ordinary people." Even now, the Wang and Xie families are still unattainable great families]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Jin can only rely on filial piety to govern the country.]
[Wei Zheng in the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty: The version I heard when I was young is not quite the same as what Guangmu said]
[Su Shi in the third year of Song Xining: The story I heard was also different from the one told by the light curtain]
[Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang: What I know is basically the same as what Guangmu said]
[Ming Hongwu 29th year Zhu Su: After all, it was compiled by people from the Yuan Dynasty]
[Kublai Khan: Tsk, this is too much of a fabrication.]
......
Eastern Han Dynasty, the fifth year of Jian'an
Xudu
Xiahou Xuan is a descendant of my Xiahou family. The Xiahou family and the Cao family are one, so they will definitely resist!
Xiahou Yuan thought so.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
Even if the Sima family died again, it would not be able to eliminate the hatred in my heart.
"It seems that Wuqiu Jian also participated in the Battle of Dongxing. I didn't expect that he was also a loyal minister of our family."
"Wuqiu Jian always feels familiar. Have you heard of him?"
Cheng Yu thought of a person, "He should be related to Wuqiu Xing in Hedong."
Cao Cao remembered Wuqiu Xing mentioned by Cheng Yu. This person seemed to be quite capable, but he didn't seem to be an official yet.
......
Western Jin Dynasty, Taishi Year 3
Wang Xiang lay on the bed, feeling hopeless.
Having survived the turbulent times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the changes of political regimes, it is now being destroyed by Guangmu's accidental actions.
Based on the statement “The King and Ma share the world” alone, the current emperor will inevitably take measures.
With a long sigh, never mind, never mind.
"I am already over eighty years old, and I don't know how much time I have left. How the Wang family will develop in the future depends entirely on the younger generation."
“I did everything I could.”
The younger generations of the Wang family gathered together and talked. They had known Guangmu's attitude towards the aristocratic families for a long time.
Guangmu hates the aristocratic families and prefers the poor people.
...
Wang Xiang was not wrong. The young Jin emperor Sima Yan, who was sitting on the throne, was furious.
He slammed his hands on the table and glared at the light screen.
"It's fine if we're just a big family, but do we also want to rule the world together?!"
"Ah."
......
Wu Zhou Period
Wu Zetian frowned as she looked at Liu Yuxi's comments on the screen.
"These big families are really troublesome."
He rubbed his forehead. He had been attacking aristocratic families all his life, but once the time passed, the aristocratic families were still there.

[Strangle the tiger to save the father: Yang Xiang was a native of Shunyang in the Jin Dynasty. Her father was Yang Feng, or Yang Aruo in the Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms. When Yang Xiang was young, her mother died, and her father raised her with great difficulty. She was extremely filial, sensible, and polite.
When she was 14, she went to the fields with her father to harvest millet. Suddenly, a big tiger jumped out from the side. The tiger pounced on her father and grabbed him. In her haste, Yang Xiang completely forgot the difference in strength between herself and the tiger. She jumped onto the tiger's back and held its throat tightly. Eventually, the tiger collapsed to the ground because it could not breathe. Both father and daughter survived.
Sharp review: Clap, clap, clap, clap. Awesome! Even now, this deserves a UC title. [Shocking! A tiger appeared in a rural field and injured a person. A 14-year-old girl fought the tiger with her bare hands to save her father... What on earth is going on...]
The story seems very filial at first glance, but it is so explosive at second glance.
Yang Xiang strangled a tiger to save his father, so what about Wu Song's fight against a tiger? ! 】
＜The story of strangling a tiger to save his father is fake at first glance, too exaggerated, and too much. However, what if it is because the ancients in the Jin Dynasty were generally very strong [covering face]＞
＜Hey, I found that many of these stories are about single-parent families. Either the mother died early or the father died early...＞
＜The stories in the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars do not stand up to scrutiny. Several of them are from the Jin Dynasty. It is indeed the Demonic Jin Dynasty [dog head]＞
＜If you want to read outrageous fantasy, you have to read the Magic Jin Book Catalogue＞
＜Hahaha, the "Book of Jin" in the Twenty-Four Histories is the funniest, because it is the "Soushen Ji" in history books. The entire "Book of Jin" can be divided into three parts, namely: "General Theory of Magic in the Jin Dynasty", "Collection of Science Fiction Novels in the Jin Dynasty", and "Collection of Superheroes in the Jin Dynasty".
ps: The Book of Jin was compiled by Fang Xuanling in the Tang Dynasty. Because of hundreds of years of war, it is difficult to find information, so it can only be collected from various folk legends, mixed with a lot of unofficial history.
The Book of Jin is also known as "the gods and monsters of historians, the magic of Li Sao" [狗头]＞
＜I am dying of laughter. Perhaps the spiritual energy briefly revived during the Jin Dynasty [eating melon]＞
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Well, the "Book of Jin" has become like this]
[Du Ruhui in the third year of the Zhenguan Period of the Tang Dynasty: Well, it’s no wonder it’s hard to write. After all, more than three hundred years have passed...]
[Tang Zhenguan Year 3 Fang Xuanling: ...I really don't want to repair it!]
[Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao: How can he be compared with Wu Song at such a young age? It is really an exaggeration]
[Emperor Jiajing of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong: Spiritual energy...spiritual energy!!! Is there no spiritual energy now?]
[Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Hongli: What should be done to make the spiritual energy reappear? ! ]
......
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan
"Hey, don't worry about it. With the light curtain here, we can repair it more conveniently now." Du Ruhui comforted his old partner.
It was not the first time that Fang Xuanling saw the mockery of "Magic Book of Jin" on the screen. He was mainly angered by the evaluation of "the gods and monsters of historians, the magical Li Sao".
"Is the Jin Dynasty really that magical?" Cheng Yaojin, who didn't know much about previous history, asked his colleagues who gathered around him.
Qin Qiong first recalled what he remembered about the history of the Jin Dynasty, then shook his head.
Li Jing thought about "the wind is howling", "every tree and grass is an enemy", "hearing the cock-crow and getting up to dance"...
“Feeling okay…”
"Oh, then you've gone too far!" Cheng Yaojin pointed at Fang Xuanling and stated his conclusion.
Fang Xuanling was so angry that his beard was crooked. He snorted coldly and ignored him.
Du Ruhui and everyone else laughed.
Fang Xuanling just felt that compiling the Book of Jin was really damn difficult.
The light curtain only connected to the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, and there was nothing to refer to for the following hundreds of years.
"After this is over, ask about Jin Chushi on the light screen."
