During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty , there was a scholar named Mu Zixing. He had average qualifications, but was very arrogant. He thought he was great and regarded himself as a gifted scholar. However, he took the exam twice and failed both times. He didn't know it, and he shamelessly arranged for the examiner to be ignorant of his talents, which led to him not being recognized for his talents.
On this day, several literary friends invited him to climb a mountain and look into the distance. After expressing their emotions, they sat down to drink. Halfway through the wine, Mu Zi woke up and felt it was boring, so he stood up and walked into the mountains to enjoy the autumn scenery.
came to a slope. There were trees and weeds as far as the eye could see. I didn’t know how long the slope was. Mu Zixing was curious and walked down the slope, wanting to have a look at the bottom of the slope. Unexpectedly, after walking less than ten steps, the grass was slippery and he couldn't stand. He fell down on the grass and rolled down. Suddenly, his head hit a rock and he fainted.
I don't know how long it took. When he woke up, he found that he was sleeping on a fragrant bed, covered with brocade quilts, and the fragrance was overflowing. The fragrant bed was surrounded by curtains, which was undoubtedly a woman's boudoir bed. Mu Zixing suddenly felt his heart pounding and couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
At this time, a woman's voice of surprise came from outside the curtain, "My husband is awake. Please don't move, my husband. I will bring you a bowl of millet porridge." After that, he went out. After less than a stick of incense, the woman came in with a bowl, opened the curtain, and revealed a handsome face, which immediately stunned Mu Zixing.
When the woman saw him looking at her dreamingly, she smiled and said, "Mang Jun has been in a coma for three days. Let's eat a bowl of millet porridge to replenish his body. I would like to see the little girl. I'll let him take a look later." That's enough." Mu Zixing felt embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and opened his mouth to eat the porridge.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Mu Zi woke up and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, it was already the time when the lanterns were on. He got dressed, got up, left the bedroom, and came to the living room. He saw lights and colorful banners everywhere, with bright red words of happiness posted on them. The woman was setting out wine and food. When she saw Mu Zi wake up, she walked forward with a smile, helped him sit down, and said, "Sit down, sir, while I bring you face wash and mouthwash."
After a while, the woman brought him some water and mouthwash. Bring a basin of hot water and a pot of warm water and wait for Mu Zixing to finish washing and coughing. The woman took his hand, sat down at the wine table, and started pouring wine for him. Mu Zixing asked: "Is there any happy event on your house with the red words "Happy" on it?" The woman said shyly: "Tonight is our wedding night."
It turns out that the woman's maiden name is Hui Ni, which belongs to the pig family. The people of Shu State. The country of Shanshu is located in a remote place and is almost isolated from the rest of the world. Because it has been invaded by foreign invaders all year round, all the men have died on the battlefield, and there are almost no young men left in the country.
Xuini said with a smile: "Our tribe clearly stipulates that whoever picks up a man is his husband. I picked you up, and you are my man. After drinking, we will enter the bridal chamber."
said As he spoke, several old women came out, one of whom was Hui Ni's mother, and the others were her mother's sisters. They were all widows, and the men had all died on the battlefield when they were young.
After drinking, under the auspices of several old women, the two worshiped heaven and earth, entered the bridal chamber, and became husband and wife.
Two days later, Mu Zixing and Hui Ni were joking. Hui Ni's mother ran in in a panic and shouted: "It's not good, the king sent people to arrest my uncle." After a while, several people came in. The guards with swords, all of them women, saluted respectfully and said, "The king invites you." Without any explanation, they held Mu Zixing up and left.
Hui Ni followed behind and cried, scolding: "It's all the aunties who are gossiping and leaking the news. The king has come to steal my husband."
After walking about two miles, they came to a magnificent palace. After entering the main hall, the king stepped down from the throne, took Mu Zixing's hand and said, "I heard that Mr. Xiang came from the east, and the lonely king specially invited him to come and talk about it." He ordered him to sit down.
After Mu Zixing sat down, he looked around and found that except for the king and a few officials, everyone else in the hall was female. It was true that the yin was strong and the yang was weak. When Mu Zixing announced his family name, the king smiled and said, "I heard that poetry is popular in the East. Sir, you might as well write one to give us a glimpse of the world."
Several officials also agreed.Mu Zixing stood up and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. I will show my disgrace." He walked back and forth seven steps and recited loudly. "You pee, I'll pee, let's all pee together. The spring breeze blows coolly, and it feels so good after the urine is released."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause, and the king said loudly: "Okay, what a genius, amazing Heaven and earth weep ghosts and gods, like thunder piercing the ears, deafening and enlightening "
An older official stood up and said: "He is indeed a talented person from the Tang Dynasty. The essence of this poem lies in his understanding of elegance and vulgarity, and playing with elegance and vulgarity in the palm of his hand. As the saying goes, elegance is elegance. It seems vulgar, but in fact it is full of elegance. "
Another young official stood up and said, "Yes, this poem will be famous forever, and it will be unprecedented and unparalleled. Waiting to witness the emergence of this poem, It is truly a blessing."
The king stood up and said: "Due to the lack of men, the country has not opened a kenashi for many years. The solitary king made a special exception today and appointed him as the number one scholar in the special department, and he was appointed as the consort. Prince Consort." The officials quickly celebrated.
Mu Zixing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the King, I already have a wife." The king laughed and said: "Sir's wife is far away in the east, and the water far away cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby. Wouldn't it be wrong for you to become the lonely king's son-in-law? "Happy!" Mu Zixing said: "No, Your Majesty the King, I have already married a wife in Zishu Kingdom, her name is Huini."
The king said: "It doesn't matter, the lonely king allows you to take her as your concubine." After that, he ordered to pass on, The whole country celebrates. After a while, a banquet was served in the side hall. The king invited the consort to the banquet, and the officials accompanied him.
While in the drinking room, a woman suddenly came in and said coquettishly to the king: "Father, my sister got the right man, what should I do?" The king smiled and said: "Father will never forget you, in the world Searching for him everywhere." The woman said, "No, I also want this special science champion." After that, she resorted to crying.
The king could not be entangled, so he had to say: "Okay, I will marry both of you sisters to talented men from the east." The woman then turned her tears into a smile and turned away.
That night, Mu Zixing entered the bridal chamber with the two princesses. The next day, he took Hui Ni into the palace again. From then on, he lived a carefree life with his two wives and one concubine, happy to be in Shu.
In his spare time, the king asked Mu Zixing to write articles, so he wrote down the articles for the exam. The king and officials rushed to see it and praised it highly. Mu Zixing couldn't help but feel complacent. The king and officials were the ones who recognized talents, many times better than the examiners of the Tang Dynasty.
Time flies, and three or four years have passed.
On this day, a battle report suddenly came. Foreign invaders invaded, and the country of Shanshu was in danger. The king and officials were anxious, and the princesses were also in panic all day long.
After three or five days, a group of sergeants rushed in and tied Mu Zixing up. He turned around and saw what palace there was? But it was a large cave with many killed wild boars lying on the ground, and the remaining wild boars were scurrying around.
It turns out that wild boars here have become sperms and killed many hunters. Five or six years ago, local officials sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but to no avail. This year, the new governor summoned many soldiers and horses to surround and eliminate the wild boar spirits in one fell swoop.
After hearing about Mu Zixing's adventure, the governor was amazed and let him go. When Mu Zixing returned home, his family was greatly surprised. After three or four years, they thought he was no longer alive and that his wife had already remarried someone else.
Mu Zixing was arrogant about his talent and learning, so he visited the Jiedushi with poems and wanted to serve under the Jiedushi. Jiedushi read the "peeing poem" and sneered: "Bullshit!" Mu Zixing retorted loudly: "The vulgarity is the elegance. With this poem, I once won the number one scholar in the country of Shushu and was granted the title "I am the prince-in-law. It seems that you are not well-read, my lord, and do not understand the meaning."
Jiedushi was born as a military commander and did not read much. Too many words lead to mistakes. He quickly changed his mind and said that he was good at poetry, leaving Mu Zixing as the bookkeeper.
More than a year later, Jiedushi was transferred to the Ministry of War and recommended Mu Zixing to the court.Wu Zetian read the poem and almost laughed out loud and said: "What is the country of Boar? Isn't it just a herd of wild boars? How can a person who is admired by beasts and associates with beasts have any great talents?" She had an idea, A ten-level latrine order was specially set up in the government office of Mu Zixing's hometown, and Mu Zixing was put in charge of the construction of local latrines.
Less than two years later, Mu Zixing died of depression, and the order to make the pit was cancelled.
This story uses absurd writing methods to use events to illustrate principles and persuade the world, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
