Xiao Man is the best state of life.
Life will inevitably go downhill after reaching the peak, and the so-called prosperity will decline.
"Humility benefits, full of loss, and the time is the way of heaven", the ancients insight into the world, admonished the world not to be full of prosperity, to remain humble. Today is the twenty-four solar terms of Xiao man, continue to read the "History", taste Sima Qian's respect for Cai Ze.
Cai Ze's life was uneventful, similar to Zhao Guoyuqing. The first reading of "Fan Sui Cai Ze Lie Biography" Cai Ze part of the speed reading skip, did not arouse interest. Quietly read again, from the small person to Qin Xiang, the fame is not great, the merit is not significant, Sima Qian must have a deep meaning.
Relatively speaking, Fan Sui's life also has bizarre encounters, from life hanging on the line to escape from death, from being lonely and nameless to being a marquis and worshiping the prime minister, the ups and downs of the story are still relatively strong.
Cai Ze is not, his appearance is strange and ugly, he has been frequently discriminated against, he has been expelled repeatedly, there is no merit, when Qin Xiang has been there for several months... Ordinary can no longer be ordinary, there are no political achievements worthy of flaunting, there is no vigorous reform, there is no military merit in killing the enemy, let alone the feat of enduring humiliation and restoration.
In the "Biography of Fan Ju Cai Zelie", the dialogue between Cai Ze and Fan Sui is recorded in detail, and the philosophical spirit transmitted from the dialogue is probably the key to Sima Qian's respect.

To say that Cai Ze is inseparable from Fan Ju.
Fan Ju performed the inspirational story of struggling to counterattack, and it took only six years from the small character to the marquis to worship the chancellor. Fan Sui's eloquence and wisdom were displayed, and he proposed to the King of Qin the strategy of "attacking from afar and attacking closely" and strengthening the monarchy, which was favored by King Qin Zhao.
As the saying goes, "the middle of the day will move, and when the moon is full, it will lose."
After Fan Ju became chancellor, he recommended Zheng Anping and Wang Ji to King Qin Zhao. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Zheng Anping led his troops to surrender to the Zhao state, and Wang Ji's collusion with "foreign countries" was beheaded. According to the laws of the Qin State, Fan Sui should have been punished for the same crime, but King Qin Zhao's punishment was only verbal rebuke, and Fan Ju felt guilty in his heart.
Fan Sui was in a dilemma. "Cai Ze heard it and went to Qin Ye."
Cai Ze is a Native of Yan, and is also a "mouth-talker", like Zhang Yi and Su Qin. Cai Ze once peddled his own ideas everywhere, lobbying the princes of all sizes and not being welcomed because of their ugly appearance.
"Sir Snout, giant shoulders, stinging face, squirming, knee cramps. I have heard that the saints are not compatible, sir?" - "History of The Nineteenth Fan Sui Cai Ze"
"Sir is facing the sky nose, broad shoulders, convex forehead, collapsed nose bridge, luo circle legs. I heard that the saint is not in appearance, probably sir, right? ”
Tang Ju said this when he saw Cai Ze. Cai Ze's "dignified appearance" made Tang Ju feel that this person had no future. It can be imagined how miserable Cai Ze looks, and now he goes to any unit for an interview, absolutely vetoed it, and the impact of his appearance is too poor.
Who is Tang Ju? He is the grandfather of the face-to-face industry, and is known for his magic as a god. He once gave Li Dui a face-to-face "holding the country within a hundred days", and later it was really fulfilled as scheduled. (For "I heard that the saints are not compatible", some people understand it as "Tang Ju saw that Cai Ze would become a saint".) ）
Cai Ze knew the meaning of Tang Ju's "drama", so he did not let Tang Ju measure wealth and glory, but predicted the life limit. Tang Ju said that there were still forty-three years of Yang Shou.
Cai Ze smiled and left, then said to his driver: "Forty-three years is enough to enjoy." Carrying rice and eating fat meat, driving in a carriage, holding a large golden seal in his hand, and wearing a purple ribbon around his waist, he was highly respected in front of the lord. ”
When he left the Yan kingdom and came to the Zhao kingdom, he was expelled by the Zhao state. On the way to South Korea and Wei to seek employment, robbers were encountered, and the pots and pans for cooking were robbed.
First of all, he was ridiculed by Tang Ju of "Divine Calculation", and then he suffered a miserable encounter along the way, and it was not easy for Cai Ze to maintain this self-confidence. Of course, this is enough to prove that Cai Ze's talent has given enough self-confidence.

Cai Ze came to the Qin Kingdom and created a wide range of momentum.
"Yanke Cai Ze, the world's xiongjun hong debate wise man also." When he sees the King of Qin, the King of Qin will trap the King and seize the throne. Cai Ze preached this sentence everywhere to provoke Fan Sui.
Fan Sui's character of "the virtue of a meal will be paid, and the resentment of the eyes will be repaid", Cai Ze can not tolerate it. As a result, Cai Ze was "invited" into the Xiang Mansion.
Sima Qian's description of Fan Sui's meeting with Cai Ze is very delicate, from expression and demeanor to psychological and action details to describe vivid images, like live broadcasting the dialogue between the two.
Although Fan Sui was the prime minister, his heart and eyes were extremely small. Originally, Cai Ze's street "wild talk" had made Fan Sui unhappy in his heart, and Cai Ze did not kneel down when he came, but instead arched his hands, making Fan Sui even more angry.
Fan Sui regarded himself as the first-class wisdom and eloquence in the world, and no one matched him, so he condescended to ask Cai Ze, "Your boy said that he wanted to replace me as Qin Xiang, is there such a thing?" ”。
Cai Ze easily replied with a word, "Yes."
Fan Ju was so angry that he couldn't say anything about this unexplained answer for a while, so he had to answer: "Please hear what he said."
Cai Ze's "debater" was not inferior to Fan Sui, gushing endlessly like a flower, Fan Sui listened to Cai Ze's side to solicit bo quotes, but he couldn't stop nodding his head and praising, "Ran, of course, of...".
Cai Ze's words of "lobbying" Fan Sui are enough to summarize in four words: The rapids retreat bravely.
Fan Ju sighed and said, "Desire is not satisfied, and it is why it is lost; there is no end to it, and there is no end to it, and there is a loss of its existence." "Fan Ju obeyed." Mr. Sui was fortunate to teach, and Sui Jing was ordered", so cai Ze was invited to sit down and treat him as a guest.
After a few days, Fan Ju tried his best to recommend Cai Ze to King Qin Zhao, "His people are good at the affairs of the Three Kings, the karma of the Five Uncles, and the changes in the world, which are enough to send (entrust) the government of the Qin State." In order to dispel the concerns of the King of Qin, after all, the shadow of Zheng Anping and Wang Ji's failure was shrouded, Fan Sui stressed that "the subject is not as good as also, and the subject dares to smell." ”
King Qin Zhao, when he met Cai Ze, also recognized his talent, and first worshiped as a guest qing and did not reuse it. Therefore, Fan Ju resigned from the post of chancellor due to illness. Cai Ze ascended to the throne and became Qin Xiang.
Sima Moved here and did not end there, after all, Cai Ze's political achievements were lackluster. However, another message was revealed, Cai Ze "Xiang Qin for several months, people or evil, fear, is xie sick return to xiangyin." A small person suddenly occupies a high position, and it is inevitable that people will be jealous.
And Cai Ze was able to abandon the high-ranking official Houlu, which in turn echoed his four words for Fan Sui, "Rapids and Courageous Retreat". Later, Cai Ze spent more than ten years in the Qin Kingdom, successively experiencing four generations of kings, namely King Zhao, King Xiaowen, King ZhuangXiang, and Qin Shi Huang, and finally came to a safe end.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > persuade Fan Sui's debate</h1>
Cai Ze had no other merits except for letting Prince Dan of Yan enter Qin as a hostage. Sima Qian's record was mainly to persuade Fan Sui to back down and take his place. "The debate of all mouths, I destroy it", Fan Sui himself is a debater, and Cai Ze's debate is more worthy of appreciation.
Cai Ze talked about physical and mental health from the change of seasons, and everyone is admired for pursuing success and fame, but he hopes to be famous and prosperous in the future. People's pursuit of meritorious service, of course, expects meritorious adults to be there.
Cai Ze quoted from the side, taking history as a mirror and debating with Fan Sui. Listing Shang Martingale, Wu Qi, and Wen Zhi, "meritorious service without seeing morality", and dedication to the cause is not rewarded. Compared with Hong Yao, Zhou Gongfu Zuowen Wang, and King Cheng, "Wei Zhen Hai Nei, meritorious service, fame and glory spread through the ages".
Let Fan Sui compare which ending is better. From this, three realms of achievement and fame are proposed.
"He who is full of fame and fame, shangye." The name can be the law and the dead, and then also. The name is in the humiliation and the whole body, the next also. ——" History of the Nineteenth Chronicle of Fan Sui Cai Ze "
One's own life and meritorious reputation can be preserved, which is superior. Meritorious names can be emulated by future generations and their own lives cannot be saved, which is inferior. It is inferior that one's reputation is insulted and one's own life is saved.
Cai Ze continued to persuade Fan Sui, as the saying goes, "the middle of the day will move, and the full moon will lose", you are now a noble minister, and your hatred has been repaid with kindness, and you have fulfilled your personal wishes, but you do not intend to change. This is not advisable.
Su Qin and Zhi Bo died of greed, so the saints formulated rituals to temper their desires; Qi Huangong and Wu Wangfuchai died because they reached the top and did not know how to turn back, did not want to retreat to the following, did not know how to humble themselves and self-restraint; Shang Martin, Wu Qi, Bai Qi, and Wen Zhong, the four of them became famous but did not know how to give in, so that disaster came. This point is not as thorough as Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li to see thoroughly, retire from success, and leisurely enjoy himself.
Yu Qing, the rise of the little people.
Cai Ze said, "In view of the glory of the water people to meet, in view of the fact that everyone knows the auspicious and the fierce." Looking at the mirror with water, you can see your own face clearly, use others as a reference, and you can know the evil of things. Why don't you resign and return to the hidden mountains and forests? It is better to have Bo Yiqian make a good name and enjoy the title of Marquis forever, which is better than the calamity?
Fan Sui was persuaded, "Thanks to Mr. Teaching, I obey the order. ”
I have to admire Cai Ze, and this persuasion of Fan Ju reflects that the philosophy of life is worth understanding. What is valuable is that Fan Sui listened to Cai Ze's advice and took the initiative to let the sages, and he also achieved Cai Ze and left valuable spiritual wealth to mankind.
