The poor Sima Xiangru defected to the county magistrate Wang Ji. Wang Ji settled Sima Xiangru in the hotel to worship every day, but Sima Xiangru could meet guests in the early stage, but later he disappeared.

This behavior is a typical example of creating momentum, creating news hotspots, attracting Zhuo Wangsun's attention, and making him take the bait.

When Zhuo Wangsun invited the county magistrate, he naturally listed the famous Sima Xiangru as a guest of honor, but repeatedly invited him and refused. The "Book of Han" says that "Xiangru forced himself to go for the last resort". Here, the word "Yi" that "fake" in Ban Gu reveals Sima Xiangru's show pretending not to attend the banquet.

After attending the banquet, when the banquet reached its climax, Wang Ji respectfully presented a piano to Sima Xiangru and said, "I heard that Changqing likes it, and I am willing to entertain myself." Sima Xiangru, who could not resist the warm invitation from the county magistrate, played the song, and the rumors were "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix".

Please note that "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Sima Xiangru" reads: The granddaughter of King Zhuo, Wenjun, is new and widowed, and he likes to pronounce the music, so Xiangru and Ling respect each other, and he is picking it with his heart.

What does it mean? Zhuo Wenjun was just a widow, and she liked music, and then Sima Xiangru and the county magistrate made such a careful arrangement.

Having said that, everyone should understand that it was a carefully planned scam from the beginning, and it was specifically targeting the girls at the table."

Kong Yuan glanced at Professor Zhang, leaned over and whispered: "Is there such a passage in "Records of the Grand Historian"?"

Professor Zhang nodded.

Li Fan continued: "And Sima Xiangru pays great attention to the show, especially in front of Zhuo Wenjun, who dressed himself up as a handsome and talented man in the upper class, and made Zhuo Wenjun confused.

When Zhuo Wenjun elopes with Sima Xiangru and returns to Sima Xiangru's home, he finds that the family is poor and doesn't even have household appliances.

Soon the two of them lived a great embarrassment, and then they bought a house in Linqiong and opened a hotel. He asked Zhuo Wenjun to stand at the counter to sell wine, put on a big apron, and wash dishes with the guys.

My father-in-law Zhuo Wensun was almost angry when he saw this, thinking that where would you be bad for opening a hotel? If you had to get the county to open, wouldn’t you embarrass me, the richest man? You are making me laughed at by the world. The original text is: ‘Zhuo Wangsun was ashamed of him when he heard this, and he was so embarrassed that he would not leave’.

In the end, King Zhuo could not bear it anymore, and his relatives and friends begged for mercy. Moreover, his daughter was his biological daughter after all, so she finally accepted Sima Xiangru and distributed it to Zhuo Wenjun's servants with a million yuan in money. Sima Xiangru turned into a monetary.

What can you see from this? Does it feel like some young men are now catching rich girls?

Many literati have always despised this behavior. For example, Yang Xiong, a master of Han Fu, said in his book "Explanation of Mockery": "Sima Changqing stole the treasures of Zhuo's family." "The treasures" are all about "wealth", which means that Sima Xiangru's property was cheated from the old Zhuo family.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Ge Hong not only said that Sima Xiangru "stole the treasure", but also "stole his wife", pointing out that Zhuo Wenjun was also successful by Sima Xiangru carefully planned various hookups.

In "Wenxin Diaolong", even discussing the short-term situation of ancient and modern literati, it also proposed Sima Xiangru's "stealing his wife" and "seeing the flaws of literati, Xiangru stealing his wife and receiving gold."

"The Family Instructions of Yan" also says, "Sima Changqing steals his treasures and is incompetent", which directly points to his character.

Su Shi was the most cruel person to scold Sima Xiangru. He cursed bluntly: Xiangru is really a villain! He also pointed out that Sima Xiangru's banquet was a real money-raising banquet, which was extremely ridiculous."

When Li Fan said this, a contestant on the stage raised his hand and asked, "But, can we understand it from another perspective? After all, Zhuo Wenjun is a great beauty. Is it possible to hold the beauty back?"

Li Fan shook his head, "Zhuo Wenjun may not be beautiful."

Professor Cheng said: "You are wrong. Zhuo Wenjun is indeed very beautiful. "Miscellaneous Notes of Xijing" reads: Wenjun is beautiful, her eyebrows are as beautiful as a distant mountain, her face is often like lotus, and her skin is as smooth as grease."

Li Fan denied: "The Miscellaneous Records of Xijing" is not very credible, especially compared with "Records of the Grand Historian", Sima Xiangru was described as a handsome guy in "Records of the Grand Historian? Biography of Sima Xiangru", but Zhuo Wenjun's appearance was not mentioned in a word, and there are also evidences. When Zhuo Wenjun saw Sima Xiangru for the first time, she felt that she was not worthy of Sima Xiangru. The only one who recorded Zhuo Wenjun's beauty in the literature was "Miscellaneous Records of Xijing".

...

Everyone was stunned when the recording scene heard it.

Zhuo Wenjun is not a beauty;

The three well-known works that have been passed down are not written by Zhuo Wenjun.

Sima Xiangru had a problem with his character and stole his wife.

This is completely different from what everyone's inherent cognition.

A contestant stood up and asked, "Isn't this the great writer like Sima Xiangru like this?"

Li Fan gave an idiom: "There is an idiom called hypocritical. Moreover, a person's character and talent are absolutely not proportional! I have always had a view that the most ordinary working people are absolutely no worse than the professors of various universities in terms of character!"

Wow!

There was a burst of applause at the scene.

Li Fan's opening speech convinced everyone. His talent was amazing. People can not only question the credibility of the work, but also give several analysis. Not only can they say that Sima Xiangru cheated on marriage, but also listed pieces of evidence. You can't accept it.

The contestants on the stage applauded and envied. It turned out that they were so cultured and so cool.

Professor Cheng said: "Li Fan, then "The Road to Shu is Difficult" is not Li Bai's work?"

"No, no, no, of course this is from Li Bai!"

"Oh, where is Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao"?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Professor Zhang smiled and said, "He thought that in your Li Fan's world, everything is fake, and is it real?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "Uh, this..."

Kong Yuan said quietly: "Then, Li Fan, are you fake?"

Li Fan was speechless for a moment.
