Cai Ze persuaded Fan Sui to take over the post of prime minister

It is said that Fan Sui was the Face of Qin, and the King of Qin trusted him extremely, and Fan Sui was a model of the famous "a meal of grace must be paid, and the revenge of Jing Wei must be repaid", and later because of the reward, he recommended several old friends as officials, but they all committed crimes. At that time, the Warring States people were more realistic, and if anyone recommended the person, if the recommended person proved afterwards that he could not do anything, the recommender was responsible. Therefore, Fan Sui was very worried, but the King of Qin protected him and still trusted Fan Sui very much.

One day, when the King of Qin was doing business in the middle of the dynasty, he sighed a little, and Fan Sui said: "The subject hears that 'the lord is worried about the humiliation of the subject, and the lord is insulting the subject to death.' Now the great king was worried about the dynasty, and the subject dared to ask him for his sin. "Because I heard the King of Qin sigh, Fan Sui meant that we were ineffective as courtiers, so please ask the king to cure me of my sins." The King of Qin then said the reason for his worries, because he felt that the Chu State was far-sighted and far-sighted, and it was a serious problem for the Qin State's confidants, but there was no good way at present, so he sighed. In fact, the King of Qin originally wanted to motivate Fan Sui, but at this time, Fan Sui was already more worried, and when he heard this, he was more afraid, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, our protagonist, Cai Ze, took the stage.

Cai Ze is a native of Yanguo and has studied in the four directions, but there are no opportunities. One day he went to a famous face-to-face artist named Tang Ju and said to Tang Ju, I heard that you once met people and said that that person would be in charge of the country within a hundred days. Tang Ju said, yes. Cai Ze asked, then what do you think of me? Tang Ju said, Sir, you "have a nose, a huge shoulder, a stinging face, a squid, a knee cramp." "I have heard that the saints are not compatible, sir?" I've heard that saints don't care about looks, they're talking about you. Cai Ze knew that Tang Ju was making a joke about him, so he said, Rich and noble, I have it in my life, I don't need you to calculate, I came to calculate my life expectancy. Tang Ju said that there should be no problem for The gentleman to live for more than forty years. Cai Ze thanked him and left, telling the driver that my words of great wealth and nobility, more than forty years, are enough. It can be seen that Cai Ze is still relatively confident. However, his luck was relatively weak, and he went to the Zhao Kingdom after that, and was driven out, and then to Han and Wei, only to encounter thieves on the road, and even the kettle was robbed.

Cai Ze heard about Fan Sui and felt that the opportunity had come, so he went to the Qin Kingdom. Before he asked to see the King of Qin, he first sent someone to provoke Fan Sui, saying that Cai Ze was a powerful person, and if he came to the Qin Kingdom, he would definitely seize your position. When Fan Sui heard this, he said, "The affairs of the Five Emperors and Three Generations, the sayings of a hundred families, I know it, the arguments of all the mouths, I destroy it, is it the evil that traps me and robs me of my position?" "Fan Sui is a very talented and confident person, and he believes that there is no one who can do this. So he summoned Cai Ze. Cai Ze was actually this target, he wanted to see the King of Qin, but also to see if the King of Qin was willing to see him. He had planned to start with Fan Sui. After Fan Sui saw Cai Ze, Cai Ze acted very arrogant, and Fan Sui was not happy in his heart, so he went straight to the subject: "I heard that you threatened to represent me as Qin Xiang, is there such a thing?" Cai Ze said yes. Fan Sui said then I will listen to your high opinion. Cai Ze said, you are so confused, "The order of the four times, the successful ones go." "It is wise to be an official and to protect yourself, do you think that the Shang martingale of the Qin State, the Wu Qi of the Chu State, and the Great Doctor of the Yue Kingdom, who died like them, are worthy of envy?" In fact, what they did was right, but posterity will only see that they have done their work of loyalty and filial piety, and who thinks about their merits, do they still envy them for not meeting the Ming Jun and dying? The body and name are all considered to be superior, similar to the martingale they have meritorious deeds but lose their lives is the second class, and the body and name are all lost that is the most inferior. At this time, Fan Sui began to feel that Cai Ze was right. Cai Ze then hit the iron while it was hot, do you think that Shang Martin, Wu Qi and The Doctor's ability is better than yours, and how are the merits better than you? Fan Sui said, not as good as. So how are the qualities of the monarch you are now serving, benevolent, and obsessed with old feelings, compared to Qin Xiaogong, Chu Mourning King, and Yue King? Fan Sui said, not as good as.

Cai Ze began to say the main point, since your merits and abilities are not as good as theirs, but you are now a high-ranking official, Houlu, and the wealth is better than them, and the monarch's favor for you, and your relationship is not as good as Qin Xiaogong, I feel dangerous for you. The so-called "the middle of the day will move, the full moon will lose", the I Ching has clouds, 'the dragon has regrets', it is said that people who can go up and down, stretch out and cannot bend back. I hope you think about it. Fan Sui was impressed and said to Cai Ze, "I heard 'desire but do not know, lose its desire; some are not satisfied, lose their so there is', thank you Sir for teaching me. So "extend into the seat, for the guest." Cai Ze got Fan Sui, and the next step was logical.

A few days later, Fan Sui entered the court and said to the King of Qin, I have a guest from Shandong, very capable, and among the people I have met, none of them are comparable to him, and I am not as good as him. The King of Qin then summoned Cai Ze, and after the conversation, he admired him very much, so he made him a guest secretary. Fan Sui offered to resign, and the King of Qin retained him, but Fan Sui had already made up his mind and said that he was not ill. The King of Qin then made Cai Ze chancellor.

Cai Ze's remarks, the timing of grasping is very accurate, and the expected things have also grasped the key points, so as to impress Fan Sui, so as to open up the situation for himself, the so-called "long-sleeved good dance, more money and good Jia", is also a master in the master.
