Fishing has always been loved by the world, and when you are idle, sit quietly on the riverbank, fish with bait, and return home full of fish, which is a lot of fun. Fishing, the ancient people are very fond of, ordinary people, officials and eunuchs, and even relatives of the emperor and the state are fond of fishing. So will the Emperor of kingship also fish? The answer is yes, of course, they fish only on a whim, and the mood is only in a single thought. In other words, "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", if the emperor is fishing, the accompanying personnel will be worried, the emperor is happy, everyone is at peace, if the emperor is angry, the unlucky one will be punished. Of course, if there is a person next to him who can speak the truth when the emperor is unhappy and angry, then the situation is another matter.

There were many ancient kings who fished and could not catch fish, such as the Southern Tang Dynasty Lord, the Northern Song Dynasty Zhenzong, etc., they had all fished, but they did not catch it, and when they were unhappy, fortunately, there were a few ministers who could speak the Tao to resolve the embarrassment and save others from punishment. In fact, to put it bluntly, this so-called witty saying is to be afraid of horse farts. As the saying goes, "a thousand wear, a horse ass does not wear", who does not like to listen to good words, the emperor is also a person, naturally no exception.

According to legend, the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty fished one day, followed by a large number of courtiers, one of whom was named Li Jiaming, who fished with the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. After a long time, the Southern Tang Dynasty lord did not catch a single one, and Li Jiaming was already full of harvest, and the bucket used to hold the fish could not fit. The Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty was very displeased, and his face darkened. Li Jiaming was a wise man, and when he saw this scene, he already knew it, and in order to please Emperor Bo, he put down his fishing rod and bowed to the emperor: "Does Your Majesty know why you can't catch fish?" "I don't know." "A poem here is the answer!" "Let's hear it!" "The jade hook is flourishing, and the warm water of the bichi spring is dissolved." Fan Scale did not dare to swallow the incense bait, knowing that it was the king who fished the dragon. ”
It turned out that the emperor's inability to catch fish was not a technical problem, but that those fish were humane and did not dare to eat the fish of the Southern Tang Lord, because they knew that only the dragons were caught by the Lord of the Match, so they did not dare to eat the bait. When this Southern Tang Lord heard this, he was immediately happy and talked with the courtiers very happily.

Coincidentally, a similar incident was also recorded in the Northern Song Dynasty Ouyang Xiu's "Guitian Record", saying that the Northern Song Emperor Zhenzong led his courtiers to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and fish, and the masses also followed the fishing, but after fishing for half a day, only Zhenzong did not catch a fish, and Zhenzong was extremely unhappy.
At this time, there was a minister named Ding Zhi (Note: Northern Song Dynasty Prime Minister, Adulterous Minister), who was a master of sneaking and patting horses, he saw that the emperor was not happy, and seized the opportunity to quickly go forward and make a "Ying Zhi Poem" dedicated to Emperor Zhenzong, two of which were "The warbler frightens the phoenix to wear flowers, and the fish is afraid of the dragon face and fish late." A few words brought the ability to sneak a horse to the extreme, and it turned out that it was not that the emperor could not catch fish, but that these fish were afraid of the emperor's dragon face and did not dare to come forward. Zhenzong was very happy after hearing this, and the dragon was very happy, and put down the fishing and continued to play with the masses. The other courtiers gave Ding Zhi a thumbs up one after another, all saying that their talents were inferior to Ding Shu's. (Text: Repentance of the Past)
