Basket Reading History 29 ~ Yanzi Small man has great wisdom

The State of Qi is a state of Jiang Tai' openness, an absolute talent power. There are too many capable people, but there are few who really think about the interests of the country--- even if it is a famous Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period, selfishness is also very heavy.

　　However, Yanzi is an exception, and his low-key luxury has connotations.

　　Yan Zi, named Yan Bao, was a famous politician and diplomat of the State of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, who had been in politics for half a century, and had gone through the Qi LingGong, qi Zhuang Gong, and Qi Jing Gong. He was the true patriarch of the Three Dynasties and was respected by the world, so we called him Yanzi.

　　Sima Qian did not describe Yanzi too much, and he gave an evaluation that if Yanzi was still alive, I would like to give him a coachman. If Yanzi is still alive, the author of this article is willing to give him a car and let him sit.

　　Sima Qian's willingness to be a coachman for Yanzi is of course a sentimental one, and the ancient texts really mention Yanzi's coachman.

　　Yan Zi is not tall, less than 6 feet, and is estimated to be around 1 meter 3 today.

　　His coachman was eight feet tall, about 1.76, and his appearance was magnificent.

　　1.76 to 1.3 to catch the horse, can not help but be triumphant.

　　Suddenly for a few days this guy was no longer imposing, and he frowned bitterly.

　　When Yanzi inquired, the coachman replied, "The wife of the family wants to divorce me." ”

　　"Why?"

　　"He said I'll catch you a car, you're so knowledgeable, but you're so humble and low-key, I don't have anything, but I'm still so arrogant." I followed such a cultivated boss, but I didn't learn anything about cultivation, so I wanted to divorce me. ”

　　It seems that many big masters are not as knowledgeable as women's families.

　　This driver was reformed, and later Yanzi recommended him to become a doctor.

　　It is really a very happy thing to be able to be a driver for someone like Yan Zi--- and it seems that from Sima Qian's tone, he is not happy.

　　

　　There are many stories of Yanzi.

　　There are two well-known stories: one is Yan Zi Zhi Chu, and the other is the South Orange North Orange. Although everyone is familiar with it, I can't help but repeat it a little, it is really wonderful.

　　Yan Zi sent an envoy to the Chu Kingdom, and the King of Chu wanted to give Yan Zi a dismount. Since 1.3, then close the door and let him go to the small door of 1.3 next to him, if you do not enter this small door, you can't go back to the country; if you enter this small door, your face will be lost.

　　Yan Zi came, saw the door in the distance, pretended to be surprised and asked, "Hey, is that door a dog hole?" ”

　　The Chu state reception official smiled and replied, "Yes." ”

　　"Am I going to go over there?"

　　"Yes."

　　"I understand, of course, if you go to the dog country, you have to go through the dog hole, so your king must be the dog king?"

　　Bad things, I set a trap myself, and now it's my turn to jump.

　　When the king of Chu received the report, he was very embarrassed and ordered to quickly open the middle gate to meet this 1 meter 3.

　　Although the King of Chu had suffered a dumb loss, when he saw that Yan Zi still wanted to beg for a bargain on his lips, he pretended to be the king and said, "Hello, one meter and three meters, the population of your country of Qi must be very small, right?" How did you climb this way out to make us very confused? ”

　　"Wang, you are wrong, we have a lot of people in the State of Qi, but they each have their own division of labor, and those who have the ability will be sent to the most powerful country to become ambassadors, and those who do not have the ability will be sent to the country that is not strong, like me, who is the most incompetent in the Country of Qi, so you will be sent to the State of Chu."

　　King Chu's nose was crooked, but what could he do, all this was his own self-inflicted suffering.

　　Tell the story of the southern orange and the northern orange.

　　Yan Zi was going to visit the Chu kingdom again. The King of Chu thought in his heart that he had suffered a loss last time, and this time he must insult him fiercely.

　　The two people met and talked a few words about the weather today, you ate or not.

　　Suddenly, several policemen from abroad with a prisoner pushed and shoved past them.

　　The King of Chu made a very surprised look and said, "Hey, is this person who was tied up a criminal?" ”

　　The Chu state police replied, "Yes, this is a Qi people who are thieves in our Chu country." ”

　　Wang's expression was extremely exaggerated and he asked Yan Zi sideways, "Are you Chu people good at being thieves?" ”

　　Yan Zi wouldn't jump into this pit, but his answer couldn't have been more wonderful.

　　First recognize what the other party said, and then refute the other party from the other party's point of view, leaving the other party dumbfounded.

　　"Really? Why did you become a thief in the Chu Kingdom? No one in our country of Qi is a thief, yes, I heard that there is an orange tree, when planted in the south, it grows sweet oranges, and if it is transplanted to the north, it will grow bitter and astringent citrus. In the country of Qi, I was not a thief, and when I arrived in the country of Chu, I became a thief, and it may be that the water and soil of the country of Chu are easy to cultivate thieves! ”

　　The King of Chu smiled sarcastically and said, "The widow originally wanted to make fun of your Qi state, but instead they were made fun of by your Qi state." ”

　　Yan Zi is really an absolutely excellent diplomat, and he is too reliable to do things.

　　Except for being an ambassador, it seems that he is reliable in everything he does.

　　One winter, heavy snow fell for three days and three nights, and snow disasters were everywhere in the country.

　　Baby Yan saw Qi Jinggong, who was wearing a coat of fox fur and smiled and said, "Strange! It snowed heavily for three days, but I didn't feel cold at all. ”

　　Did you see That Jing Gong was so angry that he was going to die? Isn't it obvious that a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, and it doesn't hurt to stand and talk?

　　Baby Yan replied, "Is it naïve not cold?" People who say such things are really unkind, where is naïve and not cold! The ancient Ming Jun himself was full of food, he could think of someone who was hungry without food to eat, he could think of someone shivering without clothes to withstand the cold, and he could also experience the hard work of someone working hard, King, don't you think of it at all? ”

　　Jing Gong was ashamed to be accused by Yan Bao, so he ordered the opening of a warehouse to provide grain relief to the victims.

　　Even Confucius praised them. Yan Zi knew what he should say, Jing Gong knew what he should do, and this was the best partner for Junchen.

　　There are not many people who can really be frugal in high positions, he is one, he does not overeat, he wears simple and rough coarse cloth. He also had a fur that he wore for 30 years. He was a particularly satisfying man.

　　Who in office will be too rich? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who would think that their fiefdoms were too many?

　　The king of Qi saw that he was dressed simply, and his meals were mainly vegetables, and he was moved to give him many gold and silver treasures, which he never accepted. King Qi sealed his fiefdom and he never took --- not only that, he also gave back part of his original fief to the state--- because he felt that it was enough.

　　Can you do "enough"? As long as you are not greedy or possessive, you have moved me to death.

　　What is even more touching is that his wife of chaff does not go to church, and even when king Qi advised him to change his wife, he directly refused, saying: "My wife was also beautiful when she was young, and she accompanied me for so many years, and I also want to accompany her to the white head, and no one can change her." ”

　　He is as attentive to his country as he is to his wife.

　　Of course, there is no way to ask the king to do this kind of self-demand, and Zhuang Gong is such a commodity.

　　I have to gossip about this matter.

　　This goods was helped by Cui Zhu, so Cui Zhu became the core minister of the DPRK.

　　Cui Zhu begged for a second-hand wife, anyway, like a flower like jade, did not expect Zhuang Gong to come to the Cui family to visit the door, think it looks good, but also like it, so he engaged in ambiguity with others. At first, he was still a little restrained, but later he was very arrogant, and when he went to the old Cui family of others, he ate and drank and rewarded the minister with other people's things, for fear that the world would not know. Old Cui lost money, so he joined forces with Zhuang Gong's coachman to complete Zhuang Gong.

　　In the tone of his second-hand wife, he sent an invitation to Zhuang Gong and invited him to come to the house for a drink.

　　Zhuang Gong rushed to the door, happily entered the bedroom of the people, did not find Cui second-hand, but also thought that this Cui second-hand was doing mysteries with him, so he performed to the fullest, while roaring "Big Flower Palanquin" while holding the pillar of the people's bedroom pole dancing, indulging in it, the scene was really shocking.

　　As a result, the result is that the Cui family closed the door and closed the bedroom door, and this second commodity still thought that people were flirting with him, and they were very happy, saying: "Today the whole thing is different, good, good, the widow likes this tone." ”

　　Then, then, this widow was "shaved" by Cui Zhuhuo.

　　Yan Baby immediately received this WeChat and immediately rushed to the Cui family to ask for a corpse to be seen alive and to see a corpse when dead.

　　The entourage asked him, "Are you trying to commit suicide and martyrdom?"

　　Baby Yan said, "Is he the king of my own?" Why should I die?"

　　The entourage asked, "Then will you run away?"

　　Baby Yan said, "Did he die because of my sin?" Why should I escape?"

　　The entourage asked again, "Shall we go back?"

　　Baby Yan said, "The king is dead, where do you want to go back?" Is the king who rules over the people above the people? Sheji is the real king. Is it only for the sake of the five buckets of rice? No, it's to protect the community. So the king died for the sake of the community, and I died for the king; The king fled for the sake of the community, and I fled for the king. If he died or fled for his own mistakes, and I am not his personal minister, why should I follow him to death or flee with him? And some people dare to kill the monarch, why should I commit suicide, why should I flee, where do I have to go back?"

　　After opening the door of the Cui family, Yan Bao walked in, fell on top of Zhuang Gong's corpse and cried, then stood up and jumped three times (don't ask me what etiquette this is, I don't know), and then left the Cui family.

　　Cui Zhu's doorman said to Cui Zhu, "You must kill him." ”

　　Cui Zhu replied, "Baby Yan is very prestigious in the State of Qi, you can't kill him, you can use it to win the hearts and minds of the people." ”

　　Yan Bao truly did his best to be benevolent and righteous, and he did all the things that should be done as a courtier. Cui Zhu dared to kill Zhuang Gong, but did not dare to kill Yan Bao, because Yan Bao's beliefs were the same.

　　The second time I received this WeChat was the Taishi Ling of the State of Qi--- Sima Qian was also the Taishi Ling.

　　So he licked the ink in the bamboo Jane --- at that time it was still early before Cai Lun invented paper, writing had to go up the mountain first to cut green bamboo, make a piece of bamboo Jane on the fire and bake it to sweat, it is said that this can prevent insects and moths and anti-corrosion, these writing bamboo Jane is the "paper" of writing, posterity used "Khan Qing" to refer to history, history, so the famous patriotic poet Wen Tianxiang of the Song Dynasty in "Crossing Zero Ding Yang", there is a well-known famous sentence: "Who lives since ancient times who does not die, leave Dan heart to take care of Khan Qing." --- wrote that "Cui Zhu Qijun" was ready to send a circle of friends.

　　Cui Zhu was furious and didn't give Me Someone face.

　　Kill.

　　In ancient times, the historians were all inherited by the family, TaishiLing was killed, and Taishiling's second brother succeeded him.

　　He licked the ink and wrote on the bamboo Jane that "Cui Zhu Qijun" and prepared to send a circle of friends.

　　TaiShiling's third brother succeeded Taishiling.

　　Cui Zhu asked him, "Do you still write Cui Zhu Qijun?" ”

　　The Third Taishi Ling replied, "Yeah, can what has happened still be fake?" ”

　　"Aren't you afraid of death?" Your eldest brother and second brother have all been killed by me, killing you is simply too simple, how good is it to live? ”

　　"I'm sorry, I'm Taishi Ling, I'm loyal to my duty, and I can't tamper with it unless it doesn't happen."

　　The other historians in Asaari learned of this matter for the third time, they heard that Taishi Ling had been killed twice, so they rushed from their respective office buildings with bundles of bamboo jian in their arms, and if Cui Zhu killed again, they would line up to write and die in line. --- the historian of the good cow, he asked you if you were convinced?

　　Cui Zhu obeyed, write it, write it, send Weibo, send WeChat, send a circle of friends to send vibrato, send a small video, love drops, can't stand it.

　　In fact, Cui Zhu did not have to be so angry, although the historian directly wrote "Cui Zhu qijun", but zhuang gong's excessive words and deeds, the historians also wrote it down, and the writing was more interesting and vivid, as if watching Zhuang Gong's various "works" next to him!

　　Later generations sighed: "Qi has a straight history, so Cui Zhu's sin is heard." Because of these honest and outspoken historians of the State of Qi, we only knew about Cui Zhu. Although Duke Zhuang was not a Ming Emperor, the State of Qi did have such good ministers as Shi Guan and Yan Bao, which was a blessing for the State of Qi and the luck of the State of Qi.

　　At the time of Yanzi's death, Duke Jing of Qi was not in the capital. When the news came, Jing Gongce rode back and left. Jing Gong, who was impatient, felt that the carriage and horse were running too slowly, so he got out of the car, pulled apart his long legs and strides and ran wildly; soon when he was tired, he found that the carriage and horse were still running fast, so he sat in the car again. When he rushed back to the capital, he got out of the car four times and ran wildly.

　　Jing Gong came to Yan Zi's house while walking and crying, and he fell on Yan Zi's body and cried loudly: "Mr. Always criticize the widow, even if it is a small mistake, the widow still indulges and does not know how to restrain, and has accumulated a deep resentment among the people." Now that heaven has descended upon the Kingdom of Qi, it has not fallen on the widow, but on the gentleman, and the Country of Qi's Jiangshan Society is in danger, to whom will the people tell it! ”

Jing Gong placed a precious jade object on Yan Zi's body and cried bitterly, and the tears wet the placket.

　　The chancellor Xianzhang admonished: "Baby Yan is a courtier, you are a king, and it is not in the etiquette for you to cry like this." ”

　　Jing Gong replied, "At this time, what etiquette can you manage?" In the past, the widow and the husband traveled to this place in Gongfu, and the husband criticized the widow three times in one day, and now who can do this! If the widow loses the assistance of Yanzi, the country will be finished, and what etiquette can there be? Jing Gong took off his hat and cried.

　　Yan Zi is one of the few wise elders I have ever seen, a sincere and powerful person.

　　Inner sincerity is the real sincerity, and inner strength is really strong.
