Minister Wu Dong of bring disgrace to oneself, do you know who this man is?

Wu and Shu formed an alliance and envoys exchanged visits. As an envoy, only talk about friendship and national interests, seek common ground while reserving differences and avoid contradictions. However, the messengers of Shu and Han got in the way and ended up in bring disgrace to oneself. Who is the messenger of Shu? Who is Minister Wu Dong who let him bring shame on himself?

Xue Zong is from Pei County. When I was a child, I followed my people to take refuge in Jiaozhou and studied with Liu Xi. After Shi Xie joined Sun Quan, the court recruited Xue Zong as a corps commander with five senses and appointed him Hepu and Jiaotoe Taishou. At that time, Jiaozhou had just opened its port, and Lv Dai, the state secretariat, led an army to crusade, accompanied by Xue Zong, and crossed the Hainan expedition, reaching nine towns. After the task was completed, I returned to Kyoto as an agent. Zhang Feng, the emissary of Western Shu, split the name of Kan Ze, the minister, in front of Sun Quan, and mocked Kan Ze, but Kan Ze was unable to strike back. Xue Zong took the opportunity to persuade him to pour wine at the banquet and said, "What is Shu? A dog is unique, no dog is Shu, the word is the body, and there are worms in the belly. " Zhang Feng said, "Shouldn't you tear down your Wu Zi again?" Xue Zong replied: "No mouth is heaven, and mouth is Wu. The king is in the world, the capital of the son of heaven. " So everyone here is smiling happily, but Zhang Feng is speechless. This incident can tell a lot about General Xue's wit.

On the 22nd day of the first month of the third year of Huanglong (23 1), Sun Quan ordered Xue Zong not to use common words in his eulogy about ancestor worship. Xue Zong received the imperial edict and quickly drafted the main content of the article, with sincere and clever wording. Sun Quan said, "Add up the first and second paragraphs, and the words of praise will form three parts." Mr. Xue wrote two more congratulatory messages, both of which were novel and everyone said they were good. This year, Sun Quanci's descendant Si was the general of Zhenjun, stationed in Banzhou, and Xue Zongren was a long history. In addition to being responsible for the daily affairs of the army, he also served as a professor of Sun Si's studies. In the second year, Sun Si died, and Xue Zong was elected as Cao Shangshu in the third year of Chiwu (240). In five years of Chiwu, he served as a prince and a young fu, and still served as Cao Shangshu. In the spring of the sixth year of Chiwu, Xue Zongjia collapsed.

Han Zong's personal experience is not complicated, but his biography in The Three Kingdoms is quite long, mainly describing his two letters to Sun Quan. Han Zong's second son, Xue Ying, served as the official historian of the State of Wu for three times, and he also wrote Sun Hao's Book of Jin. Is this because his son was originally appointed as an official of the Jin Dynasty?

On the whole, the alliance between Wu and Shu is relatively stable, which is determined by its external living environment. Therefore, when envoys go to other countries, they are generally friendly, harmonious and cautious, unlike Xing Zhen, the envoy of Wei State, who provoked the generals to draw their swords and seize their guns. However, there are always a few people who insist on showing off their knowledge, only to make themselves a joke. Just like Zhang Wen, the messenger of Wu Dong, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, but he wanted to ask what the name of heaven was. As a result, a surname Liu was mentioned, and he was speechless. Through the ostentation of these two messengers, we can see that although the alliance between Wu and Shu is generally stable, there will always be a little dispute between them.
