During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a powerful person, Ji Xiaolan, who was brilliant and even more eloquent.
The Qianlong Emperor knew that Ji Xiaolan was knowledgeable and quick-witted, and he had the heart to make things difficult for him. So he sent someone to pass Ji Xiaolan into the official to see the driver.
After Hearing this, Ji Xiaolan immediately entered the palace, performed a great ceremony for the emperor, and knelt on the ground to wait for the Qianlong Emperor's orders.
Qianlong said, "Ji Xiaolan, do you know what loyalty and filial piety are?"
Ji Xiaolan replied, "The king told the subject to die, and the subject had to die, for loyalty; the father told the son to die, and the son had to die, for filial piety." The two together are loyalty and filial piety. ”
As soon as Ji Xiaolan finished answering, Qianlong immediately said, "Good! If you die, what are you going to do? ”
Ji Xiaolan panicked at that moment and thought to himself, "What's wrong?" Suddenly want to give me a death? ”
But the emperor's words must not be disobeyed. Ji Xiaolan had no choice but to thank the Lord Long En, pray three times and bow nine times, and then get up and leave.
Qianlong secretly rejoiced on the dragon chair: "If he does not die, it will be the crime of deceiving the king when he returns, and he will also die; but if he really dies, it is also a pity and a wrongdoing, and there is one less capable talent for no reason." They all say that Ji Xiaolan has a lot of ideas, I see how you deal with it today!"
After about half an hour's work, Ji Xiaolan ran in with a panicked face, gasped, and "pounced" and knelt down in front of Qianlong.
Qianlong pretended to be angry and said, "Bold Ji Xiaolan! Didn't you give you death? Why are you back alive again? ”
Ji Xiaolan hurriedly replied, "The emperor was angry, and the subject obeyed the will to die, but just when I was about to jump into the river, Qu Yuan suddenly jumped out of the river, and he scolded me loudly, saying: 'Isn't your boy in the water with his head?' I think that when I committed suicide by throwing myself into the river, it was because King Huai of Chu was faint and ignorant, listened to rumors, and excluded loyal subjects. Today's emperor is mighty, the wise are open, it is the time when the fortunes of the country are prosperous, how can you die! As soon as I heard his words, I felt that they were really reasonable, so I came back. ”
At this time, when the Qianlong Emperor heard this, he originally wanted to tease Ji Xiaolan, but instead he sent an army! Let him die, then isn't the Qianlong Emperor fainting! The only option was to let him live.
Qianlong had no choice but to end up: "Good Ji Xiaolan, you are indeed able to speak eloquently, and no one can help you with this mouth!"
This story also gives us a lot of inspiration.
Many people hope that they have a good eloquence, and think that saying more is good eloquence, and being able to speak well is eloquence, which is a big misunderstanding.
In fact, a population talent is not only a level of speech, but also a cargo in the stomach, and the brain must turn fast.
Ji Xiaolan can speak eloquently and be resourceful, which can be seen, and if he does not have the cultivation of eight buckets and learn the cultivation of five cars, it is difficult for him to have such a good eloquence.
Therefore, if you want to be good at eloquence, you must first let your brain decorate more knowledge, and you will have more choices when expressing.
The old saying that the mouth is the gateway to the heart, is also said to mean that a person's language expression ability is strong and eloquent, because there is a deep accumulation, there is a good ability to think, not just superficial chatter.
