《Duke Huan of Qi attacked the Chu League Quwan 》
月4th year of Duke Xi, under the banner of "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians", he led the army of princes to attack Chu State; because he could not find a suitable reason, he said that Chu State did not pay tribute to Jingmao, a kind of grass used to filter wine, and threatened that King Zhao of Zhou died in Chu State. It was really "I want to add a crime, so why not worry."
Facing a strong enemy, the Chu envoy and Chu doctor Qu Wan , neither humble nor arrogant, responded calmly, and spoke generously, forcing Qi to withdraw his troops and signed an alliance with the princes.
Chu Zi sent a letter to his teacher, "You are in the North Sea, and I am in the South Sea. But the wind, horses and cows are not in harmony. I am not afraid of your involvement in
my land, why?"
( Guan Zhong pointed out the two things that tribute Jingmao and Zhaowang 's death) replied, "If you don't enter the tribute, it's the crime of
dare not provide it? If Zhaowang is no longer, you will ask all the waters!"
can be said to be righteous and strict, and full of humor.
Duke Huan of Qi was in a car with Qu Wan to review. The two of them fought together:
Duke said: "Isn't the purpose of the hub? The favor of the ancestor is to continue. What is the same as the same interests as the unhun?"
replied: "You are blessed with the country in my city, humiliating the nun, and the wish of the nun is to be the king."
Duke said: "With this, everyone fights, Who can resist it? If you attack the city with this, which city will not be defeated? "
replied: "If you use your virtue to appease the princes, who dares not accept it? If you use your strength, the square city of Chu is considered a city, and Han River uses
as water. Even if there are many people, there is no use."
Faced with Duke Huan of Qi, Qu Wan's answer was flawless and hidden in his wisdom, leaving Duke Huan of Qi with no choice.
"There is no connection between the wind and horses and the cows" has become a familiar idiom. The two sentences "The square city is the city" are also often cited by later generations.
" Palace of Weishi Advice on the Fake Way "
both Jin and Yu were both surnamed Ji, and the same ancestor. In the second year of Duke Xi, Jin State once borrowed a way from Yu State to attack Guo State . In 655 BC, Jin State again borrowed a way from Yu State to attack Guo State. This time, the wise doctor of Yu State Palace of Weishi stood up and persuaded Yu, and "The Palace of Weishi Advice on the Fake Way" described this matter.
gong Zhiqi believed that Guo was Yu's vassal. If Guo perished, Yu would not survive alone. He strongly advised Yu to reject the request of Jin to attack Guo, the reason was that "Guo perished, Yu would follow it." But Mr. Yu refused to listen, believing that the State of Jin would not harm the same clan. Gong Zhiqi pointed out the facts to show that the relationship between the same clan and close relatives was unreliable. He also analyzed some of the things done by Jin State, which showed that after Jin destroyed Guo, Yu would be destroyed. The later results were not beyond Gong Zhiqi's expectations. Guo and Yu were destroyed by Jin successively, proving the conclusion that "Guo fell, Yu must follow it." The article describes Gong Zhiqi's correct foresight and Yu Jun's self-destruction, and the focus of the article is to record "advice".
The familiar idiom "Lips and teeth are cold" comes from "The Palace's Strange Advice of the Fake Way". The ancients always believed that this was something that should be taken as a warning when dealing with international relations. In 1950 AD, the United States sent troops to North Korea, and people had a deeper understanding of this idiom.
" Qi Huan worships the sacred "
sacrificial meat.
In the ninth year of Duke Xi, Duke Huan of Qi accepted the sacrifice of meat given by the emperor of Zhou and held a ceremony when he met the princes.
will be in Kuiqiu , and find a alliance and cultivate it well, which is a ritual. The king sent the prime minister Kong to give the Duke of Qi, saying, "There is something in the world for Wen and
Wu, and I will give the Duke of Confucius the uncle." The Duke of Qi was about to bow down, and Confucius said, "There is a decree to the emperor. The emperor sent Kong, saying, 'I will give you a higher position to work, and I will give you a higher level.'" replied, "The power of heaven is not against Yan Xiaoshou. Xiaobai dares to be greedy for the decree of heaven, and he will not bow down?
is afraid that he will die below, so that the emperor will be ashamed. How dare he not bow down?" He bowed, climbed, and received.
What a good picture of an ancient king "made a show". The four actions of Duke Huan of Qi, like the " montage " in the movie, featured his ridiculousness.
The royal family declined, and the Zhou emperor had to rely on Duke Huan of Qi to support his store and maintain his dignity; Duke Huan of Qi wanted to use the Zhou emperor to gain political capital, and everyone tacitly explained it and staged a comedy.
