In history, our country's cultural heritage has been passed down for a long time, and many countries cannot compare with our country. Therefore, in this historical and cultural heritage, many people who have been famous for their eternal names are recorded, but they are not all loyal ministers and generals. Because there is white in this world and black, just like the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram in Taoist culture, maybe this is the principle that is always unchanging.
Treacherous ministers and thieves have done all the bad things, but it has to be said that they have become famous and know more. It is ironic that after they have been passed down, they have become famous throughout the ages. So today I will talk to you about idioms about treacherous ministers. After their stories have been passed down and become idioms, they have been recorded in textbooks.
Refers to a deer as a horse
This story took place during the Qin Dynasty. Because of the death of King Qin Shi, the Qin Dynasty was not as good as before. Only the designated heir, Qin II, Hu Hai, was left behind. Hu Hai was young and could not be suppressed. These monsters and monsters in the court were. Therefore, during the Qin II period, Zhao Gao was very famous for his treacherous minister. He also held great power and deceived his superiors and subordinates. Except for the public, he would almost not take anyone seriously.
In "Records of the Grand Historian: The Original Annals of King Qin Shi", Zhao Gao was ambitious to plan to usurp the throne, but a small number of loyal ministers secretly gave him the means. However, there were so many civil and military people in the court, he could not completely tell who it was, so he used a method. Zhao Gao ordered people to capture a deer, sacrifice to Qin Ershi and said that it was a horse. Although Qin Ershi was not a weapon, the horse and the deer could still be distinguished. Therefore, this gave Zhao Gao the opportunity to ask the ministers in the court, is this a horse or a deer?
Those who dare not go against Zhao Gao are said to be horses, while those who say to be deer have become thorns in Zhao Gao's eyes, and later they are killed by Zhao Gao by various means, and this story that is inverted black and white has been passed down.
Abdominal honey sword
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, there was a high-ranking official Li Linfu who did not have any knowledge and skills. He was good at writing, calligraphy and painting, and he had his own set of officials. His only advantage was that he could speak well, but his ability was not used to the right path. He deliberately catered to the emperor and the emperor's confidants, and after deceiving the superiors and concealed the subordinates, he took the position of prime minister.
On the surface, Li Linfu is always a brother when dealing with others. On the surface, he gives people face and flatters, and does not show off any airs, making others think that he is a meritable person, but in fact, there is another trick behind his back. The so-called "inconsistent" is him.
Li Linfu not only used his means, but also his methods were particularly insidious. For example, if an official has a talent for literature above him, he was afraid that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would favor others, so he would have a relationship on the surface and look for opportunities behind his back to plot. However, after all, paper cannot be kept popular. Li Linfu was treacherous and was discovered over time. Everyone said that he had "a sweet mouth and a sword in his belly". After inheriting it, he gradually developed the idiom "a sweet mouth and a sword in his belly."
The incident was revealed
The Song Dynasty had a general named Yue Fei who was brave and good at fighting, and had strong ability to lead troops. During the war in the Song Dynasty, he was a rare general and general. However, a treacherous minister Qin Hui dominated the government and destroyed the Song Dynasty, so he wanted to surrender to the Jin Dynasty and continue his wealth.
But according to folk rumors, he and his wife Wang conspired to kill Yue Fei. After plotting under the east window of the house, he took a boat to West Lake to visit. When he met a Taoist priest shouting at him, "You are ruining the country and harming the people, I have already sued the heavens, just wait for the heavens to accept you!" After Qin Hui returned home, he died not long after. Wang found a alchemist to set up a alchemy to summon her husband. The alchemist knew how to set up an alchemy and found Qin Hui in Fengdu. At this time, Qin Hui was being tortured with shackles on his hands and feet. He saw that the alchemist asked him to bring a message: "Please tell my wife, and I said that the matter of the east window has been leaked."
This matter became a story about the incident in the east window, which was generally used to describe the conspiracy being exposed. There are many treacherous ministers in history, but few can leave names and idioms for eternity, which means they are very bad.
