1. Admonish the king to dispose of his favorite horse.
One day, a horse that the king of Chuzhuang loved very much died. King Chuzhuang was very sad and planned to put it in a good coffin and bury the horse according to the doctor's specifications. Z1z

The ministers thought that this was too much, so they all persuaded him not to do it. King Zhuang not only refused to listen, but was furious: Whoever dared to admonish the horse burial should be executed immediately!
The king of Chuzhuang refused the advice of the minister.
Youmeng immediately visited the king of Chuzhuang after learning of this situation. When he walked to the door of the temple, he burst into tears. When King Chuzhuang saw that You Meng was like this, he asked him why he was so sad?
Youmeng said while crying: I heard that the horse that the king loved had passed away, so I was sad; and I heard that the king only used the doctor's specifications to bury it, so I was sad. I think only by burying it thickly with the specifications of the king, can we be worthy of it.

The king of Chuzhuang was taken aback after listening to Youmeng's words, and felt that there was something in Youmeng's words, and then frowned and asked him: What do you think is better?
You Meng sniffed and continued sadly: Please make a coffin for it with exquisite jade and precious wood, and let the craftsman build a tomb for it, and ask Qi, Zhao, Korea, Wei, etc. China sent envoys to funeral it. After
, build a ancestral temple for it, and pay tribute to it with Tai Lao. If the princes knew that the king regarded a horse so valuable, he would definitely praise you. When I heard the words of
, King Chu Zhuang understood and recalled, You Meng was mocking what he did. So he said with shame: Oh, how could I act this way, so wrong! What do you say?
Seeing that King Zhuang understood, Youmeng directly said: You can treat it as an animal. Dig an earthen stove on the ground, prepare some condiments such as ginger dates and magnolias, let it be baptized in the fire, and then return to the belly of the courtiers.
The king of Chuzhuang laughed when he heard it, and then handed the dead horse to the giant who was in charge of the meal.
2. Induce King Zhuang to reward the descendants of heroes.
When Chu State Prime Minister Sun Shuao was dying, he told his son that if you have any difficulties in the future, you should go to Youmeng and he will help you.
One day, the son of Sun Shuao, who was in poverty, really went to visit Youmeng and told about his hardship.
Youmeng listened, sympathized with him, and expressed willingness to help him. After repeated considerations, You Meng Ji came to his mind.
He sewed a set of clothes and hats and put on them according to the clothes Sun Shuao had worn before his death. When talking and walking, he also imitated Sun Shuao's appearance everywhere.
Youmeng has studied Sun Shuao's behavior for more than a year,
, he has imitated Sun Shuao to the extreme, even the king of Chuzhuang and the courtiers can hardly distinguish. Because he is an entertainer, he didn't think much about it.
One day, at the banquet set up by the king of Chuzhuang, You Meng followed the example of Sun Shuao and stepped forward to toast the king. King Zhuang was shocked suddenly, thinking that Sun Shuao was resurrected.
, who pretended to be Sun Shuao, induced King Z1z
. After that, King Zhuang respected and missed Sun Shuao, and wanted Youmeng to be the prime minister of Chu.
Youmeng heard pretending to be surprised, and then said with some embarrassment: Please allow me to go back and discuss with my wife. If she agrees, I will see you again in three days.
Three days later, You Meng really came to see King Zhuang again, but his face showed an unnatural expression. When the king of Chuzhuang saw Youmeng coming, he was still in such a state, so he quickly asked: What did your wife say?
Youmeng said sadly: My wife does not agree with me to be your prime minister. She said that only when a talented person like Sun Shuao was the minister of Chu, Chu was able to dominate the princes.
But now that he is dead, his son doesn't even have a place to stand. He is destitute, and sells firewood to survive. Therefore, the Prime Minister of Chu is not worth doing!
Hearing what You Meng said, the king of Chu felt very guilty and quickly paid his respects to You Meng.
then immediately summoned Sun Shuao’s son and took possession of 4The land of the sleeping hills of 00 households was awarded to him. Since then, Sun Shuao's children and grandchildren will never go hungry or cold.

wit, benevolence and righteousness like Youmeng, and smart and reasonable as the King of Zhuang. Although the status of the two is vastly different, they can communicate and communicate together on some major issues of right and wrong, and can make the right choice, which is a good story!
