When the ugly woman spoke, King Xuan of Qi repented, and Tian Ji and Sun Zhen and other good ministers came to vote, how was the ugly woman's virtue refined?
In the TV series "Thirty-Six Plans", there is a love triangle between King Xuan of Qi, Sun Zhen and Zhong Lichun, and the Zhong Lichun here is very beautiful, highly skilled in martial arts, knowledgeable, and loved by everyone. In fact, the real Zhong Lichunde in history is outstanding, but he is a notoriously ugly woman.
The ugly girl Zhong left the spring, and her family lived in the country of Qi without salt, also known as Zhong Wu salt. To say how ugly Zhong Lichun is, Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty once described it in "The Biography of the Daughters of The Column, And Its Zhong Lichun": This woman, ugly in the world, with a deep head, long fingers, swollen joints, a nose facing the sky, a large throat knot, like a man, a fat body, baldness and less hair, black like earth paint...
Such a woman looks disgusting. The ugly appearance of a woman is inherently unfortunate, and what is even more pitiful is her origin. Zhong Lichun's parents died since he was a child, wandering around, and before the age of 40, there was no fixed place to live, and there was no place between heaven and earth.
At that time, King Xuan of Qi of the State of Qi had a violent personality, did not understand the principle of "loyalty is good for the ear and good for deeds", and became the first in the world, and no one around him gave advice, and no one dared to give advice. King Xuan of Qi was surrounded by words of praise.
The State of Qi was in charge of adultery, corruption was in the air, judicial chaos was in chaos, the people had nowhere to appeal for grievances, and the whole country talked about King Qi Xuan and changed color. King Xuan of Qi knew nothing and felt good about himself.
The great powers around the State of Qi are looking at each other, with Qiangqin in the west and Qiangchu in the south.
The great powers around the State of Qi are looking at each other, with Qiangqin in the west and Qiangchu in the south. However, King Xuan of Qi still sang and danced every day, indulging in wine. The whole country is engaged in a great deal of construction, and the people dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Looking at the minister who has a little conscience, he also turned a blind eye, for fear of provoking the disaster of killing himself.
Seeing that his motherland was in danger, Zhong Lichun rushed back to the capital city of Linzi. All she said was to see King Qi Xuan, King Qi Xuan, and when she heard that an ugly woman was going to see her, she received her out of curiosity.
Zhong Lichun "Bang Bang Bang..." Tiger Tiger ran up to the hall in a huff, ignoring the ministers on both sides, "Great King, you are admirable. The ugly girl Zhong LiChun was willing to listen to the king's dispatches. King Xuan of Qi looked at Zhong Lichun, who was talking, and almost didn't spit it out.
"Such an ugly woman, who actually came out to shame people, so self-sufficient, I really don't know how thick the sky is." King Xuan of Qi thought of this, and with a wave of his hand, he prepared to blast Zhong Lichun out of the hall. "Danger, danger." Unexpectedly, Zhong Lichun danced with his hands and shouted out this crazy word in a huff.
The courtiers were stunned, and they all sweated for Zhong Lichun's boldness.
King Xuan of Qi was immediately intrigued. "Where's the danger?" I would like to hear more about it. ”
Zhong Lichun then talked and told his views on the current country.
"One of the dangers is that there are two powerful enemies outside, Qin Chu, who do not want to destroy us all the time."
"The second danger is that the king you indulge in erotic dogs and horses, but also a lot of civil engineering, life luxury, playthings lose their minds, no pursuit, Li Lingzhi faint." And the people's lives are miserable, and you don't know it. ”
"The third danger is that the traitors are in charge, the talented people have no way to serve the country, and all you hear every day is good words and lies, empty words, and you can't hear the truth at all, you can't hear the advice." Isn't that dangerous? ”
King Xuan of Qi was accustomed to listening to good words and beautiful sentences, but he did not expect that the woman in front of him who was extremely ugly actually said something that he could not hear in ordinary days. Although he was against his ear, he listened, and he began to think. And the courtiers were stunned, and they all sweated for Zhong Lichun's boldness.
"Hearing your words is like a wake-up call to the king, and from today onwards, every bit of progress of the king is your credit."
After Zhong Lichun finished speaking freely, the air in the whole city seemed to freeze. After a long time, after a long time, King Xuan of Qi seemed to have a great understanding. "Hearing your words is like a wake-up call to the king, and from today onwards, every bit of progress of the king is your credit."
King Xuan of Qi is really not famous, a blockbuster. From then on, the harem was streamlined, the excess palace was torn away, the adulterers and the flattering were expelled, the voice was far away, and the female music was dismissed. Then, like a gouge, lie down and taste the guts, change the past and make great efforts.
With the change of King Xuan of Qi, the talents of the four sides poured into the state of Qi, and good generals such as Tian Ji and Sun Bin came to vote. A few years later, the State of Qi was politically clear, economically prosperous, and strong in its troops. Linzi of the State of Qi became the cultural center of the Warring States period.
Although Zhong Lichun looks strange and ugly, his personal moral cultivation and vision are higher than ordinary people. Therefore, King Qi Xuan was impressed by her, not ashamed of her ugliness, and after setting her up, King Qi Xuan almost obeyed her. Zhong Lichun performed a comedy in which an ugly duckling turned into a white swan.
Although Zhong Lichun looks ugly, he never has inferiority. She caught up with the good era of "a hundred schools of thought".
How did the virtue of the ugly girl Zhong Lichun, who had been lonely and lonely since childhood, be refined? It is most worth pondering, and there is no more narrative in the history books on this issue. But I think it may have a lot to do with her wandering around.
Although Zhong Lichun looks ugly, he never has inferiority. She caught up with the good era of "a hundred schools of thought". She wandered around, hearing the teachings of the masters of various sects everywhere, and she was a person who loved learning. The masters' hearing and admiration have made her full of experience and patriotic feelings with lofty ambitions.
The experience of wandering made her read all kinds of things in the human world and taste all the sufferings of the world. This gives her her her own unique insight into society and life.
Zhong Lichun's successful experience tells us that "reading thousands of books is not as good as walking thousands of miles, walking thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people, reading countless people is not as good as guiding the way of famous teachers, and famous teachers are not as good as guiding the way by themselves..." The philosophy of life.
