【Idiom Story】
During the Jin Dynasty, Yuzhang had a Taishou named Yin Xian, the word Hong Qiao, Chen County Changpingren, an official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and an official to Yuzhang Taishou and Guangluxun. Yin Xian served as Tao Kan's long history and helped him pacify Su Jun's rebellion. His son, Yin Hao, is a famous Qing figure in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
When Su Jun rebelled that year, Kyoto Jiankang was quickly lost, and the rebels attacked the Great Cause, which was in danger and besieged by the rebels, and soon ran out of ammunition and food. Tao Kan wanted to go to the rescue, but was opposed by Yin Xian, who was the chief historian at the time, and Yin Xian said: "If we send troops to save the great cause, we are not as good as Su Jun in fighting with foot soldiers, and the big thing will be over." Stone City should be attacked urgently, and Su Jun must come to rescue Stone City, so that the siege can be lifted. ”
Tao Kan listened to Yin Xian's advice. Su Jun really gave up the great cause to save Stone City. The armies and Su Jun fought in the east of Dongling, Tao Kan supervised the protection of Jingling Taishou Li Yang's general Peng Shi killed Su Jun in the military array, after Su Jun's death, the rebel army was in turmoil, and soon collapsed, Tao Kan seized the opportunity, carefully deployed, soon surrounded the rebels, and annihilated the rebels in one go. The rebels' vital forces have been wiped out, and they basically have no strength to commit rebellion.
Through Yin Xian's dedication, the rebellion of Su Jun was pacified, and Yin Xian's reputation became famous, and since then the official fortune has been prosperous, all the way up, until the official to Yuzhang Taishou. When he left office, many people entrusted him to carry letters back to his hometown, because there was no post office at that time, only someone to carry them. He politely accepted more than 100 letters.
When he arrived at a bridge, he opened these letters and found that most of them were about pulling relationships, running favors and the like, he couldn't help but be very disgusted, so he threw the letters into the water, and said: "The sinking sinks by themselves, the floating floats by themselves, Yin Hongqiao can't do the mail." Yin Xian ostensibly agreed to those people's requests and carried letters for them, but behind his back, he threw all the letters into the water.
When people found out about it, they were very angry. So when people can't receive the letter, they always think that the letter was piggyback on by Tohongqiao. It means that if you trust non-people, don't hope for that kind of unreliable person.
