All three were small fiefs; Ts’ai was allied with Ch’i / Qi in the north, Hsi with Ch’u / Chu in the south. The daughters were both beautiful. The younger sister’s bridal procession had to pass through Ts’ai to reach Hsi. The prince of Ts’ai, a malignant narcissist, raped her as she passed through. The groom, the prince of Hsi, enlisted the help of Ch’u.

陽明先生王守仁(西元一四七二年至一五二九年)觸怒了宦官劉瑾,明武宗將他貶到貴州龍場作驛丞小官。陽明先生知道劉瑾要暗殺他,牆上提了詩:
學道無成歲月虛,天乎至此欲何如。
生曾許國漸無補,死不忘親恨不餘。
自信孤忠懸日月,豈論遺骨葬江魚。
百年臣子悲何極,日夜潮聲泣子胥。
後來在武夷山寺院遇到鐵柱宮道士,最後還是赴龍場作他的小官。

上回說崔杼慶封,有點黑暗。我們這回講晉朝三公之一,琅琊王衍(西元二五六至三一一年)。魏晉南北朝亂世,出了很多個性顯明的怪胎。天下大亂,貴族有的爭權奪利,有的玩清談、快牛,但很少人想到天聽自我民聽,天視自我民視。

In Episode 17, Regicide and the Historian, we told how in 548 bce, Ts’ui Chu / Cui Zhu murdered his monarch for raping his wife. Today’s episode follows the Right Minister Ts’ui Chu through the disputes over inheritance between his sons, his firstborn Ch’eng /Cheng and his little brother Chiang / Jiang, and his new wife’s son Ming. In 546 bce, the brothers sought help from Left Minister Ch’ing /Qing Feng, which did not prove to be a wise decision. Tungkuo Yen/ Dongguo Yan and T’ang Wuchiu / Tang Wujiu were murdered, with the help of Lu P’u P’ieh / Lu Pupie. This episode is pretty dark.

徐世勣生于西元五九四年,正直隋朝中期;十七歲,農民起義,徐世勣加入翟讓的瓦崗軍。李密殺翟讓,徐世勣歸順唐高祖。高祖稱他為「純臣」,封曹國公、英國公,賜姓李。後避唐太宗李世民的諱,去「世」字,就是兵法上赫赫有名的李勣。
李勣常謂人:「我年十二三時為亡賴賊,逢人則殺。十四五為難當賊,有所不愜則殺人。十七八為佳賊,臨陳乃殺之。二十為大將,用兵以救人死。」但也有他很貼心的一面。
