First, Dong Cheng in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This should be familiar to everyone, and I am deeply impressed by Dong Cheng. He was extremely loyal to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. When Emperor Xian of Han returned to Luoyang, he was robbed by Guo Jue and others, thanks to the desperate protection of Dong Cheng and others. Later, after Cao Cao brought Emperor Han Xian back to Xuchang, Dong Cheng even wrote to Emperor Han Xian to beg for thieves. Finally, it was revealed that Dong Cheng's family was killed by Cao Cao. Seeing this, I am very moved and deeply admire Dong Cheng.
Second, Dong Cheng in the official history. Incorrect root: Dong Cheng in his early years was actually a trilogy of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, belonging to Dong Zhuo's camp. During Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Dong Cheng was also a key member of his group. Infidelity: According to the conversation between Dong Cheng and the general Wang Zifu recorded in Xian Di Residence Notes, the purpose of Dong Cheng's imperial edict for thieves is not to help the Han Dynasty, but to gain the status and influence like Cao Cao. If Dong Cheng really succeeds, it is likely to be the next Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao. Besides, the imperial edict on the clothes is not necessarily written by Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, but fabricated by Dong Cheng for his own purposes. Greedy for money: In the process of fleeing with Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, I took a fancy to ten silks in the hands of Empress Fu. Extortion did not directly kill the murderer, but blatantly killed Fuld; Official history evaluation: the way to "communicate with Lanzhou": Although Dong Chengzhi is not as good as Wang Yun, if he wants to be outstanding, he will not only bring about his own destruction, but also endanger his legacy. The so-called people who aim high and lack wisdom are also. However, it does belong to Dongcheng, which is different from Japanese for thieves. . Wang Fuzhi of the Ming Dynasty also thought:? Dong Chengzhe, who started in troubled times, is carefree and good at expressing his mind. ?
It can be seen that most of the comments on Dong Cheng in history tend to be negative, not as loyal and brave as described in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but only beautified to reflect Cao Cao's treacherous hero. ?
