read "Records of the Grand Historian. Biography of Mengchangjun" and clarified two problems: First, not Qi and Lu were both places of Confucian education, such as Mengchangjun's territory, which was called Xuedi in ancient times, was different from Zou and Lu's customs; second, after reading " Biography of Mengchangjun" in Song , Wang Anshi, read " Biography of Mengchangjun" and , he commented that Mengchangjun is just a robber who crows and dogs. It turned out that it was not his discovery. Sima Qian has written Meng Changjun as the boss of the underworld. A typical example is that after Mengchangjun became famous, he hired him as the Qin Zhaowang to be the Qin minister. Mengchangjun laughed to the sky and went out to Qin. Before he could get the seal, someone told King Zhao of Qin:
"Mengchangjun is virtuous, and he is also the Qi clan. Now he is the prime minister of Qin. He must first Qi and then Qin, and Qin is in danger."
Ancient ways of "Don't doubt people, but no doubt people." He has already taken office, and King Zhao of Qin listened to the words of confusing Mengchangjun and imprisoned him and wanted to kill him. This is really a bad luck for Mengchangjun.
No matter what, saving your life is important. Mengchangjun sent someone to seek the liberation of King Zhao of Qin. Xunji asked to give him a "fox white fur". This fox white fur is worth a thousand gold and is unparalleled in the world. Mengchangjun had one, but after arriving in Qin, he gave it to King Zhao of Qin.
What should I do? At this time, there was a thief among his diners who could learn to bark and said that he could steal the fox white fur. So at night, he learned to bark by the dog, paralyzed the guard warrior, sneaked into the Qin Palace's room, and stole the white fur fur that was given to King Zhao of Qin, and presented it to Xingji. Xunji said good things to Mengchangjun, and King Zhao of Qin released him.
Mengchangjun was lucky enough to escape. He judged that King Zhao of Qin would soon regret it and sent troops to chase him. He hurriedly led his disciples to ride the horses at Xingye toward Hangu Pass. When you arrive at Hangu Pass, Qinfa stipulates that the switch will be turned on and off before the rooster cries. They knew that the pursuers were coming and could not wait. Just when it was extremely critical, there were people among his guests who could learn to roosters. As soon as they yelled, the nearby roosters began to yell. The door was closed and opened, and they came forward and pursued the troops, but unfortunately they were one step too late.
It turned out that these two guests who robbed and crowed were no longer welcome. When Mengchangjun fell into trouble, they used the means of the left side door to save each other and were treated differently by Mengchangjun. From then on, all such people who learned the wrong path came to join Mengchangjun.
Sima Qian specifically recorded the following thing in "Biography of Mengchangjun" to illustrate his character:
"Mengchangjun passed Zhao, Zhao PingyuanJun visited him. When Zhao people heard that Mengchangjun was virtuous, they all came out to look at him and said, "She was the prime minister at first, but now she looked at him, and she was a little husband." Mengchangjun heard that, she was angry. When the guest and all came down, they killed hundreds of people, and then destroyed a county to leave."
See that Mengchangjun was a black boss walking across the road. Those who are close to the ink are black. In addition to the robbers, there are also many desperate people who kill and rob.
No wonder Sima Qian said:
"I have tried Xue, and many of his common people are violent, and they are with Zou and Lu Shu. Ask him why, he said: "Mengchangjun attracted the heroes of the world, and the traitors have been in the vain for more than 60,000 families." '"

Mengchangjun raised more than 3,000 diners, but they are not all rogues, rogues, and there are two crazy and wise people. There is a name called Wei Zi in
. Mengchangjun sent him to his fiefdom to collect rent and tax, but he returned three times but did not enter one. When Mengchangjun asked, he decided to lend the money he received without authorization. Mengchangjun fired him. A few years later, someone sued , King Qi Min, and said that Mengchangjun wanted to rebel. Mengchangjun was scared when he heard this and ran away. At this time, when Wei Zi heard about this, he wrote a letter to King Min of Qi to guarantee his life that Mengchangjun would not cause trouble. He ran to the palace gate to commit suicide to prove Mengchangjun's innocence. King Qi Min was very surprised. After investigation, he found that he was indeed empty.
There is also a guest named Feng, and I will call him Feng Jun. He also went to Xuedi to collect debts. He made an appointment with the rich to repay the debt period and burned the bonds of the poor who could not repay the money.
Mengchangjun asked him why he did this. He replied:
"If there is more than one, it is a key time. If there is not enough, even if you are responsible for it, you will be punished for ten years. The more you spend, the more you will be anxious, and you will be donated by yourself by running away.If you are anxious, you will never be able to repay. The superiors will be willing to benefit the emperor but not the people. The subordinates will be given the superiors' reputation to defeat him. This is not the reason why the people and the people will praise the emperor's reputation. Burn the useless and false bonds, donate the unavailable filibusters, and make the people of the people who are close to the king and show their good reputation. What doubts do you have? "
has a poem that says: "When the flowers bloom halfway, they are beautiful. "It can be understood as having "half" wisdom. This Feng Jun is more brainy, just like "half" wisdom, and has a height of "zero". When you lend money to profit, it is good to recover the principal; when you can't even recover the principal, you will be celebrating your value; when you can't even collect the principal, you should give up decisively, don't get sick because of this little thing outside of your body. What's more, you can make a step naturally and you can buy people's hearts, which will make a lot of money. This is the height of "zero", and it is also a kind of venture capital. Mengchangjun "repay and thanks" for this.

When people are lucky, people who add soil to the tombs are busy; when people are unlucky, ghosts will not come, and the doors will be deserted.
Qin and Chu fear the strength of Mengchangjun and constantly spread rumors and distract the relationship between the king and the ministers. The King of Qi also thought that "Mengchangjun is famous and good at his master, and he abolished Mengchangjun." When the guests saw that the boss was exhausted, they left one after another. Mengchangjun became a lonely man and was alone. But the Feng Jun volunteered to come to Qin as his master as a lobbyist:
" Those who traveled all over the world wanted to strengthen Qin and weak Qi; those who joined Shi from Qi to Qi and weak Qi. This is a country of male and female. If the power is strong, the hero will win the world. "
Qin Wang When he heard this, he felt something was in his words, so he asked:
" Why did Qin Wuwei make it so good? "
The Feng Jun slowly said:
" The one who makes Qi more important than the world is Mengchangjun. Now that the King of Qi destroyed it, his heart and resentment must be against Qi; if he bows to Qi and enters Qin, he will be entrusted with the feelings of Qi and the sincerity of human affairs. He will be able to obtain Qi's territory, so how can he be a hero? You are urgently sending me a coin to welcome you, so you must not miss the time. If you have enlightenment and use Mengchangjun again, then the male and female are at the end of the day. "
The King of Qin was really obedient and believed in Feng Jun's deception. He sent an envoy to Qi to welcome Mengchangjun.
This Feng Jun returned to Qi first and then fooled King of Qi:
" Those who traveled around the world who wanted to strengthen Qi and weaken Qin by relying on Shi and crossing to Qin by relying on Shi and crossing on Shi and crossing on Shi and crossing on Shi and weaken Qin by relying on Shi and crossing on Qi. A country where Qin Qi is male and female, Qin is strong and Qi is weak, and this situation is not two heroes. Now I have heard that Qin sent an envoy to carry a 100 taels of gold to welcome Mengchang. If Mengchangjun does not go west, he will be gone. If he enters west, he will return to the world. Qin is a male and a female, and Linzi and Jimo will be in danger. Why didn’t the King send me a letter to him before he arrived, and then Mengchangjun again and thank him for his family? Mengchangjun will definitely be happy and receive it. Even though Qin is a powerful country, how can we invite people to welcome him? Reduce the Qin plan and eliminate the strong strategy. "
As a result, before the arrival of Qin envoy, the King of Qi restored Mengchangjun's position, which made people go out of nowhere.
We often see jokes about fooling each other in the sketch. Zhao Benshan Fan Wei latched , but I didn't expect that Feng Jun could fool the two great kings in a mess.
also saw from it that there was an opportunity for fooling. Feng Jun's opportunity was that Mengchangjun was a recognized talent, and the two countries They all rushed to ask for it. It can be seen that during the Warring States Period, how much did the vassal states attach importance to talents in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army?
One fence and three stakes, one hero and three gangs. Mengchangjun needs Feng Jun to help him. Of course, he can recognize Feng Jun's "zero" wisdom in burning bonds back then.
After Mengchangjun came back, he said the following paragraph to Feng Jun with emotion:
" is always hospitality, and he dares to lose anything when he meets guests. More than 3,000 diners are what the teacher knows. When the guest saw that the writing was abandoned for a day, he would leave after he recited the writing, and he would not care about the writing. Now that Mr. Lai has returned to his position, what is the face of the guest? If you see the text again, you will be despised and humiliated. "
Feng Jun said:
" is not to thank the guest, but to lose his words. ”
Mengchangjun couldn’t understand Feng Jun’s words and didn’t know where he was wrong.Feng Jun explained:
"The wealthy and noble are many soldiers, but poor and humble are few and have few friends. This is true. ... Now that you lose your position, all the guests will go away. It is not enough to blame the scholars and only lose the way for guests." The principle of
seems simple. Ran Yi read this article today before he realized: after losing power, there is no need to blame the heaven and earth, but to blame yourself. The so-called "intelligence of the candle" means that one thing you can understand in your later years is worth it even if you die the next day. "If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening." This is not wrong!
