<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >, the clever Yanzi. </h1>
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the political situation was chaotic, and not only did you and I fight among the princes, but there were also many contradictions between the princely states.
The State of Qi was a great country in the East during the Spring and Autumn Period, and the country once produced many heroic figures.
And Yan Zi is one of the most outstanding representatives.
In the State of Qi, Yan Zi's position was the Prime Minister of the State of Qi.
But he, the prime minister, was not monopolizing power, and there were three other people who fought for power with him.
These three people were Tian Kaijiang, Gu Yezi and Gongsun Jie, and because of their outstanding merits, they were also known as the "Three Festivals of Qi Bang".
But unlike Yanzi, Yanzi is a person who is loyal to the country and only thinks about how to do good things that benefit the country and the people.
Tian Kaijiang, Gu Yezi and Gongsun Jie, who are known as the "Three Masters of Qi Bang", are proud of the merits they have made. In the country of Qi, he wantonly collected his own power, and treated others with arrogance and arrogance.
But because these three people have too much merit and come from extraordinary backgrounds, few people dare to offend them.
Yan Zi was looking at this matter in his eyes and anxious in his heart. He clearly knew that if the power of these three people continued to develop, it would threaten the rule of Qi Jinggong.
Although Yan Zi was anxious in his heart, he was smart and did not speak up, he just silently remembered this matter in his heart, and then waited for the opportunity.
On this day, Lu Zhaogong brought his Xiangguo to visit the Country of Qi, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.
Yan Zi's brain suddenly flashed, and he thought of a way to eliminate the "Qi Bang Sanjie".
Yan Zi said to Jinggong: "The golden peach in the peach orchard should be ripe, and it should be picked and used to entertain guests." "
Qi Jinggong agreed with a smile.
After a while, Yanzi picked six large peaches and came back.
Yan Zi offered a peach to Lu Zhaogong, a peach to Qi Jinggong, a peach to Lu Zhaogong's minister of state, and he himself ate a peach.
Four of the six peaches were eaten, and two remained, and how to distribute them became a problem.
Yan Zi proposed to Qi Jinggong that the two remaining peaches should be eaten by the hero with the greatest merit.
Qi Jinggong agreed, and asked Yan Zi to judge the merits, the greatest heroes.
Gongsun Jie was the first to stand up, and he said, I once killed the white-fronted tiger that pounced on the lord, thus saving the life of the lord.
Yanzi rewarded him with a peach.
Gu Yezi said, I once killed a strange fish in the Yellow River, and also saved the life of the lord.
Yanzi also rewarded him with a peach.
Finally, Tian Kaijiang stood up, I was once ordered to fight against Xu Guo, not only killed Xu Guo's general, but also captured 500 soldiers, this credit is enough to eat peaches!
Yan Zi did not hurry after listening to it and said that although the credit is great, the peach is gone, wait for next year!
Tian Kaijiang was furious when he heard this, saying that he had the greatest merit but could not eat peaches, which was simply the greatest humiliation. Then he drew his sword and killed himself.
The other two people in the "Qi Bang Sanjie" saw Tian Kaijiang drawing his sword and killing himself, and they both said that the greatest merit could not eat peaches, and the smallest merits ate peaches, and we were both ashamed. Now that Tian Kaijiang is dead, if we don't follow the death, we won't be brave.
After saying this, the two men drew their swords and committed suicide.
At this point, Yan Zi successfully solved the threat of "Qi Bang Sanjie" with a plan.
Qi Bang Sanjie's personality has two sides.
The first is that people who have a very high self-esteem must compete everywhere. So all three of them wanted to grab the peach that the monarch rewarded, because it represented honor.
The second is the heavy righteousness, and the person who is heavy on righteousness attaches great importance to his own image in the hearts of others. So after Tian Kaijiang's death, the remaining two committed suicide in order to maintain their brave image.
There are only two peaches, and three people want to fight for peaches because of the psychology of competing everywhere, which must not take into account righteousness.
Therefore, the two personality aspects shared by these three people are themselves a contradiction.
Yan Zi discovered this contradiction, so he used two peaches as a fuse to make this contradiction erupt.
In fact, the same is true in life, often like-minded people, but it is most likely to turn the other cheek. Why? Because like-minded people care about the same thing, and when this thing becomes the target of their common contention, they will fight endlessly.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, shameless Shi Siming. </h1>
Shi Siming was the second-largest figure in the An Shi Rebellion, the An Lushan camp. This man's early years can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the extreme of vileness and shamelessness.
In 736 BC, Shi Siming was unable to repay his debts, so he fled to the steppes to the north.
But unfortunately, as soon as he arrived in the grassland, he was caught by the people of the nomadic tribe Xi.
Originally, this was a very tragic thing, but Shi Siming was bold and careful. He said to his captors, "I was sent by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to be with your tribal leaders and relatives, and if you kill me, you can't afford to bear the responsibility."
The person who caught him did not dare to act rashly when he heard this, so he reported Shi Siming's matter to the tribal leader.
The tribal leader did not dare to easily offend the Tang Government, and under the suspicion of the general, the chief sent a team of 100 people to return to the Tang Dynasty with Shi Siming to find out.
At this time, Shi Siming showed his treacherous side again, and he said to the leader of the Xi tribe, in order to reflect your importance to peace and kinship, you should send the most capable people of your tribe to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
When the leader of the Xi tribe heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable. He also wanted to curry favor with the Tang government, so he sent the most capable people in the tribe, Gao Gao and 300 retinues, to follow Shi Siming to worship the Tang Emperor.
But who knew that their team had just entered the Tang Border and was betrayed by Shi Siming to the Tang Dynasty border generals.
Shi Siming told the Tang Dynasty generals that these people were nominally worshipping the Son of Heaven, but in fact they were diverting your attention, and the elite soldiers of the Xi clan were behind, and they were going to sneak attack.
When the Tang Dynasty generals heard that this was still possible, they immediately mobilized soldiers to come and kill all 300 people.
And Shi Siming also received the weight of the Tang Dynasty's border generals because of his merits.
In the whole process of planning, Shi Siming deceived two people, one was the leader of the Xi clan and the other was a Tang Dynasty border general.
When he deceived the leader of the Xi clan, he borrowed a sword from the powerful Tang Dynasty. He took advantage of the Xi people's fear of the powerful Tang Dynasty and their yearning for beauty and affection, so he deceived 300 emissaries.
In fact, the same is true in life, sometimes we are very afraid of something, we will want to maintain a good relationship with it.
However, this kind of psychology is often the most easily used by people with scheming.
The second person Shi Siming deceived was a Tang Dynasty border general, who believed that if the Xi soldiers really attacked, it would be very dangerous. And if he eliminated this danger, the credit would be very large, so he easily believed Shi Siming's words.
In fact, the same is true in life, when danger and benefit come at the same time. We tend to eliminate dangers indiscriminately and to fight for benefits without thinking.
And this is actually the easiest to be used by people.
