Are there any stories that make a big joke in history?

Joking is a way to ease embarrassment and promote mutual feelings. In life, we often play jokes on our friends and each other. This is a sense of humor, an attitude and wisdom. Wang Xifeng in A Dream of Red Mansions often plays jokes to amuse the old lady or resolve her embarrassment. A successful joke, first of all, must distinguish between the identity of two people and the current scene, followed by the content, whether it can achieve its goal, some things in history make a big joke.

There was a figure in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which was quite controversial in history. He is Hong Chengchou. As a scholar and courtier, his political means and talent are very good. He played an important role in the stable rule at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. But as a Han Chinese, taking refuge in Manchu makes many people feel ashamed. Just when the Qing dynasty entered the customs, the minister was played a modest joke, which was nothing to him, but embarrassment killed the joker.

Things have to start with Hong Chengchou's lack of clarification. At that time, the news that Hong Chengchou died for his country came from the front. Chongzhen remembered his loyalty, so he built a ancestral temple to commemorate it. No sooner had the ancestral temple been built than the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender came, which made the emperor very angry. Fortunately, although the ancestral temple was built, there was no sacrifice and it barely passed. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Hong Chengchou was ordered to arrest Xia Wanchun. Xia Wanchun satirized him and joked that the whole world knew that Hong Chengchou was a hero who resisted the sacrifice of the Qing Dynasty. Hong Chengchou was ashamed that you pretended to be him. He tried to woo him, and finally killed him, fulfilling Xia Wanchun.

Another big joke is the well-known "Prince of Zhou Youwang bonfire drama". Zhou Youwang smiled and praised beauty, making fun of the prince and his own world. Igniting the beacon tower attracted the princes to run around and made the beauty happy. In the end, when the diligent king was really needed, no one believed him, which led to national subjugation. It can be said that it was the first story to make a big joke.
