Brief introduction of Mi Heng, a famous figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Why did he die in the end?

Mi Heng (173-198), courtesy name Zhengping, was born in Pingyuan County (now Deping Town, Linyi, Dezhou, Shandong Province).

Mi Heng and Kong Rong are close friends. Mi Heng was quite talented in literature and eloquence when he was young. Therefore, Kong Rong recommended Mi Heng to Cao Cao so that Cao Cao could see Mi Heng’s talents. Can reuse him.

But Mi Heng, relying on his profound literary talents, looks down on ordinary people, even people like Xun, and laughs at Xun who has a dull face all day long, no matter where he goes. They all seemed to be mourning.

Although Kong Rong recommended Mi Heng to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also wanted to meet this person whom Kong Rong could not stop praising, Mi Heng disliked Cao Cao very much, so he deliberately claimed to be ill and refused to see Cao Cao. He was often disrespectful to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has held the power of life and death for many years, and he has never seen anyone treat him like this. He felt resentful and wanted to kill Mi Heng to vent his anger, but because of Mi Heng's reputation and talent, he never did it.

But he came up with a good way to humiliate Mi Heng. He heard that Mi Heng was good at playing drums, so he called Mi Heng to be the history of drums, hosted a banquet for guests, and invited everyone to Let’s enjoy the newly rehearsed drum music. Actually, I want everyone to appreciate Mi Heng’s drumming style, which will make Mi Heng unable to hold his head up.

During the performance, the drummers need to put on uniform clothes. Only Mi Heng did not put on the clothes of the drum master, so he was stopped by the subordinates and said: "Don't you know you have to change?" Clothes? Do you dare to come in so casually?"

Mi Heng stopped and put on a clothes-changing show. After changing his clothes, he went on stage to perform drum music. After the song was over, Mi Heng left without any trace of shame on his face.

This made Cao Cao, who wanted to see Mi Heng's joke, very unhappy. It was as if he was choked and couldn't spit it out or swallow it. He felt uncomfortable for a long time.

Kong Rong scolded Ni Heng when he returned home. You dared to be so crazy in front of Cao Cao. Cao Cao would crush you to death like an ant. He also asked Ni Heng to go to Cao Cao to apologize and apologize. Ni Heng Said: "Okay."

Kong Rong hurriedly went to Cao Cao to save Ni Heng's life, saying that Ni Heng had realized that he was wrong and wanted to come to apologize to you. He was waiting outside the door at the moment. .

Cao Cao was very happy when he heard this. Isn’t Mi Heng very proud? Didn't he bow his head and admit his mistake? He quickly ordered someone to call Mi Heng in.

As a result, Mi Heng was wearing coarse linen clothes and holding a big stick in his hand, sitting at the gate of the camp. Mi Heng beat the ground with a big stick and cursed Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was so angry that he had never seen such a person in his life. He just turned a blind eye and sent you to Liu Biao, lest he could no longer bear it any longer and get angry. Kill Mi Heng and impair his own wisdom.

Liu Biao and the doctors in Jingzhou all admired Mi Heng's talents, so they paid great attention to Mi Heng. They always asked Mi Heng for advice on big and small matters. Mi Heng was highly respected and lived in peace with them.

But as time went by, Mi Heng’s true nature was exposed. He was dissatisfied with the memorial that Liu Biao and other literati had negotiated, so he dared to tear up the memorial and write it again himself.

Once or twice, Liu Biao felt that he could bear it. After more times, Liu Biao gradually felt that Mi Heng looked down on him, so he did this, so he sent Mi Heng to Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia.

Huang Zu also admired Mi Heng’s talents at first, and even entrusted Mi Heng with the important task of handling clerical matters. Which is light and which is heavy, which is near and which is far? Ni Heng has a good sense of proportion. Huang Zu was very satisfied with the results of Mi Heng's work. He took Mi Heng's hand and said: "What you did, sir, is what I want in my heart." "

But once when Huang Zu was hosting a banquet for guests, Mi Heng lost his sense of control and spoke rudely to Huang Zu, which angered Huang Zu and made Huang Zu reprimand him.

Mi Heng not only retorted, but also called Huang Zu a dead old man. When Huang Zu heard this, he became angry and wanted to beat Mi Heng. Mi Heng scolded him even more fiercely.

So Huang Zu ordered Ni Heng to be killed. By the time Huang Zu calmed down and wanted to take back his life, Mi Heng had already been killed by Huang Zu's chief secretary who had hated him for a long time.

Mi Heng is indeed talented, but his arrogant character ultimately harmed him. All you received for your courtesy was your repeated provocations. No wonder Mi Heng had such a tragic end. He was only twenty-six years old when he died.
