Tragedy of the Qi Heng Commons.
Qi Henggong Jiang Xiaobai, due to the reuse of Guan Zhong, Uncle Bao Ya and a number of other wise ministers, dominated the world for forty years. With this achievement, Qi Henggong gradually became arrogant, and in his old age, he was even more sluggish in state affairs and finally had fun. Guan Zhong, when he was critically ill, tried his best to dissuade him from getting close, and when he was erected, he was easy to teeth, and Wei Kaifang warned him that he must not let them grasp power, otherwise there would be endless troubles in the future.
Qi Huangong acted extremely conceited, saying that they were loyal to me, that I was very kind to them, and how could they possibly betray me? You are worried.
Guan Zhong shook his head continuously, and said that human nature cannot be changed, no one does not love himself more than others, Shu Diao was not a eunuch but voluntarily accepted palace punishment, he even endured the cruelty of his own body, how could he be merciful to others? No one does not love his children, Yi Ya in order to invite favors, actually killed his three-year-old son, made a plate of steamed meat to the king, he even his own children are fierce, to whom will be polite, no one does not love their parents, Wei Kai did not go home for 15 years to do filial piety, he even his parents do not care about the lives and deaths of others, I can still tame them before I die, they dare not make trouble After I die, the king will not change, if you still believe in them in the middle, it will harm people and mislead the country, and the king must not tolerate and hesitate again.
Although Duke Huan of Qi agreed to Guan Zhong's request, he did not really awaken, and he was more favored than Guan Zhong when he was there, and after two years he was too ill to go to the court. Shu Diao, Yi Ya, wei open, with no use value, decided to kill the prince Jiang Zhao, support another son of Qi Henggong, will be without loss to protect their wealth, they ordered that no one be allowed to enter the palace, in order to starve Qi Huangong to death, and all the people who served Qi Henggong were driven away, and also built a high wall outside the palace, so that the world-famous Qi Henggong was starved to death on the sickbed, and what was even more tragic was that the body of Qi Henggong after his death was rotted and raw maggots because there was no one to take care of it, until the insects climbed out of the wall, people knew that he was already dead.
This tells us that in the investigation and analysis of anything, external causes are always secondary, internal causes are the key to the success or failure of things, and it is necessary to reflect on ourselves here, and we cannot complain about others.
