醉(zui)打金枝(zhi)(zhi)是“酒壯慫人膽”的(de)(de)(de)典型例子。與(yu)醉(zui)打金枝(zhi)(zhi)相關的(de)(de)(de)酒局實際上(shang)是一次家宴。醉(zui)打金枝(zhi)(zhi)的(de)(de)(de)故(gu)事(shi)講的(de)(de)(de)是唐朝名將(jiang)郭子儀(yi)的(de)(de)(de)兒子郭曖在(zai)家宴后,借酒壯膽而痛(tong)打老婆升(sheng)平公(gong)主的(de)(de)(de)故(gu)事(shi)。
且說升平公(gong)(gong)主嫁到郭(guo)家后(hou),不改(gai)往日金枝玉(yu)葉的做派,動不動對丈夫(fu)(fu)和公(gong)(gong)婆發脾氣。一般說來,中國傳統社會里媳婦見了公(gong)(gong)婆是要(yao)行大禮的,但公(gong)(gong)主是皇帝女兒,是君(jun),公(gong)(gong)婆雖是長輩也是臣(chen),所以那時郭(guo)子儀夫(fu)(fu)婦反過來要(yao)向(xiang)公(gong)(gong)主下跪(gui)。
郭曖(ai)對此十分不(bu)滿(man),公(gong)(gong)(gong)婆(po)尚且向公(gong)(gong)(gong)主(zhu)(zhu)行(xing)禮,自(zi)己豈非矮了兩輩下(xia)去?平(ping)日在頤指氣使的(de)公(gong)(gong)(gong)主(zhu)(zhu)面前他(ta)倒(dao)也不(bu)敢有所造(zao)次。這天,郭曖(ai)心里不(bu)爽,在家(jia)(jia)宴(yan)上(shang)多喝了幾杯。當即要求(qiu)升平(ping)公(gong)(gong)(gong)主(zhu)(zhu)應該遵守婦(fu)道,給(gei)郭子儀(yi)夫婦(fu)行(xing)下(xia)跪禮,結果被升平(ping)公(gong)(gong)(gong)主(zhu)(zhu)嚴詞拒絕并(bing)遭(zao)到當面訓斥(chi)。此時,這酒(jiu)是壯膽藥,這酒(jiu)是忘情水,喝高了的(de)郭曖(ai)借著酒(jiu)勁,也不(bu)顧昔日情分,把公(gong)(gong)(gong)主(zhu)(zhu)拖回臥(wo)室飽(bao)以一頓老拳(quan),打的(de)公(gong)(gong)(gong)主(zhu)(zhu)滿(man)臉開(kai)桃花。這可不(bu)得了,公(gong)(gong)(gong)主(zhu)(zhu)立即回到娘家(jia)(jia)皇宮大(da)院里找自(zi)己的(de)爹爹代宗皇帝去哭(ku)訴。郭子儀(yi)連忙把兒(er)子捆起來送到皇宮請罪(zui)。最后,在皇帝和郭子儀(yi)的(de)調停下(xia),小夫妻才和好(hao)如初。
