Nie Zheng

Zhongzi treats well

Nie Zheng was a man from Shenjing, Fuxian county. He avoided revenge for killing people. He came to the state of Qi with his mother and sister and took slaughtering as his profession. After a long time, Yan zhongzi of Puyang served Han aihou as his minister. Because he had a grudge against Han xiangxia tired, Yan zhongzi was afraid that Xia tired would kill him, so he fled and marched all over the world to find someone who could avenge Xia tired's hatred for him. When he arrived in the state of Qi, someone in the state of Qi told him that Nie Zheng was a brave man who escaped his enemies and hid in the butcher's profession.

Yan zhongzi came to Nie's house for a visit. After several round trips, he prepared wine and food and personally sent them to Nie Zheng's mother. When everyone had a good time, Yan zhongzi offered another hundred pieces of gold and went forward to honor Nie Zheng's mother. Nie Zheng was surprised at the gift he gave him, so he thanked Yan zhongzi again and again. Yan zhongzi still insisted on sending it. Nie Zheng said, "because I have my mother and my family is poor, I live in a foreign country and engage in dog slaughtering, so that I can get some delicious food to support my mother sooner or later. I have enough to support my mother, and I really don't dare to receive any more gifts from zhongzi." Yan zhongzi avoided others because he said to Nie Zheng: "I have my revenge to repay. I have been traveling around various countries for many years. When I came to the state of Qi this time, I heard that I have high loyalty, so I sent this hundred yuan of gold to prepare for the cost of the mother's coarse meal. If I can make friends with you, do I dare to ask for any other hope?" Nie Zheng said: "The reason why I lowered my ambition, humiliated myself and became a butcher in the market is that I just hope to support my mother. My mother is alive, and my life can't be used to promise others to sacrifice." Yan zhongzi still kept being modest, but Nie Zheng refused to accept it. However, Yan zhongzi finally did his best to leave.

Try to repay kindness

After a long time, Nie Zheng's mother died. After burial, until the funeral clothes expired, Nie Zheng said: "Oh! I'm just a common people. I kill pigs and dogs with a knife. Yan zhongzi is the Minister of princes, but he has traveled thousands of miles and wronged his identity to make friends with me. My friendship with others is too shallow and insignificant. There is no great credit to offset his kindness to me. Yan zhongzi offered a hundred gold to celebrate his mother's birthday. Although I didn't accept it, it shows that he is You know me very well. Virtuous people regard me, a poor butcher in a remote place, as a confidant because they are angry at a little hatred. How can I just keep silent and finish it? Besides, I didn't promise to invite me because my mother was alive before. Now my mother is dead, and I should contribute to those who know me. " So he went west to Puyang, where he saw Yan zhongzi and said, "it was only because my mother was alive that I didn't agree to Zhong Zi's invitation before. Now unfortunately, my mother has died. Who is Zhong Zi's enemy? Please let me do it!" Yan zhongzi told him originally: "My enemy is Korean Prime Minister Xia Lei. Xia Lei is also the uncle of the Korean monarch. He has a strong clan and many people. The local soldiers live in a tight defense. I want to send someone to assassinate him, but I haven't succeeded. Now, thanks for your acceptance, please allow me to add strong riders as your assistant." Nie Zheng said: "South Korea is not too far away from Wei Guo. Now the prime minister who assassinates others is also a relative of the monarch. In this situation, many people can't go. Accidents will inevitably happen when there are many people. If there is an accident, the news will be leaked. If the news is leaked, it means that the whole South Korean people are hostile to you. Isn't it too dangerous?" so he refused to go with the riders.

Assassin tired

Nie Zheng said goodbye and went alone to South Korea with a sword. Han xiangxia is tired and sitting in the house. There are many guards with weapons. Nie Zheng rushed in, went up the steps and assassinated Xia Lei. The people around him were very flustered. Nie Zheng shouted and killed dozens of people. Then he peeled off his face, dug out his eyes, picked out his stomach and intestines, and then died. Koreans put Nie Zheng's body on the market publicly and paid for inquiry. They didn't know who he was. So the Koreans issued a notice offering a reward to those who could say that they were tired of killing the country's prime minister. But after a long time, no one knew who he was.

Sibling synonymy

Nie Rong, Nie Zheng's sister, heard that someone had assassinated the Prime Minister of South Korea, but she didn't know who the murderer was. People all over South Korea didn't know his name. He displayed his body and offered a reward for people to identify. She sobbed and said, "it's probably my brother? Oh, Yan zhongzi knows my brother!" so she immediately set off for the capital of South Korea, When he came to the market, the deceased was Nie Zheng. He lay down on the body and cried bitterly. He was very sad and said, "this is the so-called Nie Zheng in the deep well." pedestrians in the street said: "this man brutally killed the Prime Minister of our country. The king offered a reward for thousands of gold to inquire about his name. Didn't his wife listen? How dare you come to identify the body?" Nie answered them: "I heard that. But Nie Zheng was humiliated and didn't hesitate to join the pig butchers and butchers because my mother was alive and I wasn't married. After my mother died, I was married. Yan zhongzi picked my brother out from the poor and humble situation to make friends with him. What else can my brother do? Warriors should have sacrificed their lives for their confidants, but now Because I was still alive, I destroyed my face and body heavily, so that people could not recognize it, so as not to involve others. How could I be afraid of killing myself and bury my brother's reputation forever! "The people in the whole street were shocked. Nie Peng shouted three times" my God ", and finally died beside Nie Zheng because of excessive grief.

When people in Jin, Chu, Qi, Wei and other countries heard the news, they all said: "Nie Zheng is not only capable, but also his sister is a fierce woman. If Nie Zheng really knows that his sister has no forbearance and doesn't care about the suffering of exposing the corpse, he must go through thousands of miles to disclose his name, so that his sister and brother died together in the market of South Korea, he may not dare to promise Yan zhongzi. Yan zhongzi can also be said to know people Enough to win the sage! "

There is another version about the target of Nie Zheng's assassination, which is recorded in the great Zhou zhengle cited in volume 578 of the book of Taiping Yulan: "Nie Zheng's father ruled the sword for King Han, but he could not do it when it was out of date. King Han killed him. The current government was not born and strong, so he asked his mother, 'where is the father?' his mother told him. Zheng wanted to kill King Han, but learned Tu, went into the palace, drew his sword and stabbed King Han. He could not go. Zheng went over the wall, went into Taishan, met immortals, and learned the drum and Qin. The lacquer body was fierce, swallowed charcoal and changed its sound. The Qin was formed in seven years... Under the tower of Zheng Gu and Qin, the spectators made a trip, horses and cattle After listening, I heard about the king of Korea. The king summoned the government to see him and made him play the piano. The government assisted the piano and drum it, and the internal sword was in the piano. So the government held the clothes in his left hand and the sword in his right hand to stab the king of Korea and kill him. "Qin Cao by Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty During the Warring States period, Nie Zheng's father took the task of casting a sword for Han AI Hou. However, he exceeded the construction period but did not complete it. Han Hou ordered to kill him. At that time, Nie Zheng was not born. After Nie Zheng grew up, his mother told him how his father died. From then on, Nie Zheng vowed to avenge his father and assassinate King Han.

Nie Zheng learned martial arts and swords and sneaked into King Han's palace as a bricklayer. Unfortunately, his first assassination failed. So Nie Zheng fled to Mount Tai to learn the Qin with the immortal. He changed his face for fear of being recognized. Lacquer was fierce, swallowed charcoal and changed his voice, and pulled out (or shot down) all his teeth. Later, he practiced hard for ten years, played a good piano, and resigned to South Korea.

Nie Zheng returned to Korea. When he played the piano, the audience made a trip and horses and cattle stopped listening. After Nie Zheng became famous, Hou Han ordered Nie Zheng to play the piano in the palace. In order to avoid the search of the guards, he hid a sharp blade in the piano and looked as if he had entered the palace. Facing his father's murderer, Nie Zheng tried his best to touch the piano. The sound of the piano was like fairy music, which made Hou Han and the guards around him intoxicated When Nie Zheng saw this opportunity, he took out the short sword in the piano and threw it at him. Hou Han was caught off guard and was stabbed to death on the spot. Nie Zheng was afraid of harming his mother, so he decided to kill himself. No one could tell who the assassin was.

After Nie Zheng's death, his body and murder weapon were hung at the gate of the city and offered a reward of "1000 liang of gold for those who know this person". When Nie Zheng's mother heard about it, she came to hold the corpse and cried bitterly, "why, revenge for the father?" she also said to the people, "this is the so-called Nie Zheng. Revenge for the Father knows that it should be with the mother, but it's peeling the face from the plow. Why love a woman's body, but don't publicize my son's name?" she cried with the corpse of Zheng. Her grievances were trapped, so she stopped walking and died.

It is said that Ji Kang, one of the Seven Sages in the bamboo forest of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, played the song "Nie Zheng stabbing the king of Korea", which is called "Guangling San", which is widely played by zither players. It is said that Ji Kang played it best to express his admiration for Nie Zheng.

Jin, Chu, Qi and Wei states: "it's not only the political ability, but also the sister and martyr. The township envoy sincerely knows that his sister has no desire to be patient and does not pay attention to the difficulty of violent bones. It will definitely take thousands of miles to list his name. Those who have sisters and brothers in the Korean market may not dare to promise Yan zhongzi. Yan zhongzi also knows that people can get a man!"

Tang Ju: "my husband specializes in stabbing Wang Liao, and the comet strikes the moon; Nie Zheng stabs Han GUI, and Bai Hong runs through the sun; I want to leave the stab to avoid it, and Cang Ying strikes on the hall. These three sons are all men in cloth clothes. They are not angry. They rest and fall to the sky, and will be four with their ministers."

Sima Qian: "the five people from Cao Mo to Jing Ke have achieved or failed in their righteousness. However, their intentions are more natural. They do not deceive their aspirations and are famous for future generations. Cao Mo Meng Ke returned to Lu to invade the land. He devoted himself to the burning and appointed Wu to usurp the throne. Brother Zhang cried for the city and reported to the Lord to paint the toilet. He cut his neck to plead his grievances and acted with his sleeves. He raped Qin and robbed his soul, and cowards became more angry."

Liu Xiang: "all stabbing Wang Liao, comets attack the moon, run to the stars and come out in the day; to leave the stabbing prince, Qingji, cangfalcon hit the stage; Nie Zheng stabbed the second father of King Han, Bai hongguanri. These three people are all men of cloth and Wei. They are angry."

Ge Hong: "Jing Ke and Nie Zheng are the saints of bravery."

Sima Zhen: "brother Zhang cried and reported to the Lord to paint the toilet."

Xu Jun: "I'm willing to be a thief, but I'm willing to commit suicide. If it weren't for my sister's strong wind, who would know the name of a strong man through the ages."

Zhao Yi: "since the Warring States period, the disciples of yurang, Nie Zheng, Jing Ke and Hou Ying have been advocating with spirit and willful. They can do what people dare not do and the world admires them."

Pu Songling: "I read the assassin's biography, but I was only convinced by him in the deep well. His sharp body can repay his confidant, which is also the righteousness of Yu. In the daytime, he slaughters the Qing Dynasty, which is brave and brave. His skin can punish himself, which does not tire his bones and flesh, and has the wisdom of Cao. As for Jing Ke, he was not strong enough to plan for no Tao, so he left the Qin Dynasty and killed himself. If he lightly borrowed the head of general fan, how can he return? He hated this for thousands of years and was despised by Nie Zheng. I heard the unofficial history: when his grave was dug in the sheep and the ghost of the left. If gol, he would not become famous in life and still lose righteousness in death. He regarded Nie's righteous anger and punished those who indulged in debauchery. How can he be a virtuous person? Gee! Nie's virtuous person benefits his faith here. "

Outside the west gate of the old city of Yuzhou City, there is a high-rise building, which is the place where Nie Zheng, a chivalrous man in the Warring States period, died after assassinating and disfigured the Korean prime minister. In order to commemorate him, later generations built an ancestral temple here. This is Nie Zhengtai.
