【Allusions】During the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Wei and Jin, there was a talented but somewhat proud young man named Yuan Zhi, but he was deeply loved by the emperor and was named Luoyang Ling by the emperor. Later, the imperial court discussed the relocation of the capital, and after several discussions, it was decided to move the capital to Luoyang, where Yuan Zhi was located. In this way, Yuanzhi became the magistrate of the capital. In Luoyang, Yuan Zhi used his talents and despised those who had greater official positions than him, but who did not have his talent.
When Yuan Zhi went out to play, he met Li Biao, the imperial master of the imperial court at that time, and their cars just happened to be blocked on a narrow path with each other, according to the official position, it should be Yuan Zhi to give way, but Yuan Zhi always felt that Li Biao did not have his own talent, looked down on Li Biao, and did not have the slightest intention of giving way. Li Biao, as the imperial court's imperial master, would not make way for a magistrate. After a moment of stalemate, Li Biao became angry and asked Yuanzhi, "Do you want me, a magistrate, to make way for you?" Yuanzhi did not buy Li Biao's account, saying: "I am a magistrate in Luoyang, no matter who you are, you are in Luoyang, you have to be in my control." The two of them quarreled like this for a long time, and they didn't come up with a result, so they went to the emperor to evaluate it.
When they went to the emperor, they repeated the words they had quarreled on the road to the emperor. After the emperor listened, he felt that the two of them were not wrong, so he smiled, shook his head slightly and said to the two of them: "This Luoyang is mine, I have the final say, in the future, when you two meet, you can go separately, go your own way, isn't it better?" ”
This quarrel was the main reason why the two of them parted ways.
