China's ancient history has always had the allusion of happiness and sorrow, the original story occurred in the Warring States period of the State of Qi, itself the State of Qi is a relatively rich country in the Warring States period, rich in sea salt and pig iron, the economy is relatively rich, plus the State of Qi, although this place is relatively large, but there is basically no natural barrier, at the same time, people do not want to fight once they are rich, which makes the State of Qi become fat in the eyes of some princely states. So the State of Chu sent troops to prepare to attack the State of Qi, and when the State of Qi knew about it, it knew that it could not resist the attack of the State of Chu alone, so the King of Qi asked his trusted advisers to go to the State of Zhao with money to borrow troops. Sure enough, from the Zhao State, an army of 100,000 came, so he forced the Chu State to retreat.
After the Chu state withdrew, the king of Qi was ready to hold a party to celebrate, and asked his trusted counselor: How much wine can you drink? When the counselor heard, the king was planning to do a job with me at dawn, the Chu kingdom had just retreated, and the threat had not been completely lifted, how could he relax his vigilance at this time? In order to dissuade the King of Qi, he said that he could drink one or two pounds and drink ten pounds. King Qi didn't understand why he said that, so he asked him.
He said he had seen a lot of people who liked to drink, and a lot of them had good amounts, but he had also seen a lot of people who didn't get things done because they drank, and did things that violated etiquette because of drinking. At first, they all wanted to celebrate because something happy happened in the fire, but in the end, because of the drinking, it was a good thing, and in the end it became a bad thing, which caused some very serious consequences.
After hearing this, the King of Qi felt that it was very reasonable, after all, the army of the Chu State had just left, although it was a happy thing, but at this time, if any accident occurred, it was also possible. Therefore, he listened to the opinions of the strategists and asked people to strictly defend the frontier and not to relax. Since then, there has been an idiom of bliss and sorrow.
Of course, this is the original origin of the idiom, because after a long period of tension, once settled down, people are likely to have unintended consequences after relaxing, which is its original intention. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, a prince is typical of this idiom.
The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a very famous and very accomplished emperor, and it was during the period when he was ruling the country that the economy of the Ming Dynasty also reached a new height. However, Wanli had a prince, later Ming Guangzong, who was the emperor's child, but Wanli did not like this child very much. Because he was born after a sperm worm in Wanli had blessed a palace girl. The ancients often said that the son is precious to the mother. Wan Li looked down on this palace girl very much, and originally wanted not to admit that this child was his, but the emperor's every word and deed was recorded, so he couldn't rely on it.
Because of this, although he was the eldest son, the emperor disliked him very much, and repeatedly wanted to abolish his position as crown prince and make his third prince the crown prince. Because this child was the child born to the emperor's favorite concubine, but because of the desperate obstruction of the ministers, he kept his position as the crown prince, but the emperor did not like him, and always thought of Fa'er abolishing his position as prince, so the prince was also very cautious, afraid that he would make some mistakes.
Originally, the prince just wanted to wait for the emperor to die and become the emperor himself, but who could have imagined that the Wanli Emperor was the longest reigning emperor in Chinese history, and finally the prince stayed up for a long time to wait for his own light. After a long period of repression, as soon as he ascended to the throne, he intended to exert his ambitions and enjoy the power brought by the emperor. It is said that the emperor was fortunate to have received ten people in one night. Originally, when he ascended to the throne, he was not small, and then he made such a fool of himself, and the emperor actually died less than a month after he ascended the throne.
