(Bian Que asked about illness)
In 357 BC, the third monarch of Qi during the Warring States Period, Tian Qi Huangong Tian Wu died of illness.
This man has passed away and is always sad, but Tian Wu's death is to some extent caused by his own fault.
Because a few years ago, the famous doctor Bian Que from the Warring States Period once met Tian Wu and gave Tian Wu a free consultation, and diagnosed Tian Wu with some serious illness, and suggested that he receive treatment immediately. All three doctors have spoken. Logically, you should treat the disease honestly. Can our brother Bian Que be wrong in his words?
However, Tian Wu didn't believe in this evil and refused to treat it. As a result, he fell seriously ill not long after and got a boxed lunch in less than two days.
Through this story, we can get a very profound lesson, that is:
does not listen to Bian Que's words, suffers a loss in front of him, and he is sick and seeks a doctor's treatment, so we can't stand it.
Tian Wu died, but the throne of Qi cannot be empty. Therefore, Tian Wu's son Tian is the new leader in Qi , namely King Wei of Qi .
This gentleman, King Qi Wei, did not perform very well when he first came to the stage.
The new king does not love women, is not happy to enjoy, and has no cruel killing problem. The only disadvantage is that he is too lazy.
(Statue of King Wei of Qi)
" Huangdi Neijing " says: If you don't treat the disease before you have not been cured, you won't treat the disease before you have not been cured, and if you don't treat the disease before you have not been cured, the chaos before you have not been cured.
People suffer from suffering and physical problems, but they are easy to treat, but if they have psychological problems, it will be difficult to treat.
The laziness of King Qi Wei is a very serious psychological problem for him.
In the eyes of this young man who had just ascended the throne, it is better to lie flat than to struggle, and it is better to show off your bad luck than to work hard. (This is of course wrong)
lying flat and swaying, this is a popular saying commonly used by young people nowadays. The meaning looks similar, but if you analyze it carefully, there are actually quite a big difference between these two words.
The so-called lying flat means lying down, laying flat, no longer participating, no longer taking any action, and being completely in a situation of slackness and passiveness.
. The so-called is to make bad, based on slackness and passiveness, without any scruples, and then do whatever you want.
It’s okay to lie flat by chance, but it’s not advisable to keep silly.
Young people always have to be a little energetic.
So, from this perspective, King Wei of Qi still belongs to the former.
(King Wei of Qi)
The world is so big, Comrade Xiao Qi doesn’t want to do anything, he just wants to be quiet.
He doesn't fall in love with court, doesn't like to deal with government affairs, and he leaves all major national affairs to the people below to handle.
It takes three or five days to be lazy and take it off for work. It has been lazy for a week. Even if it is on vacation, it takes nine years for the time of being lazy and stealing for nine years. The whole country of Qi really can't stand it.
The reason is that during the Warring States Period, it was very chaotic. The heroes competed and the boats were sailing in troubled times. Everyone was moving forward. If you don’t move forward, you are retreating.
At this critical moment, a man named Zou Ji stood up.
Zou Ji, who is a civilian, but he is born to play Guqin . He is the top musician at that time. King Wei of Qi likes it very much, so he recruits Zou Ji to the palace and lets him stay with him as a musician.
King Wei of Qi did not attend court or work, so he spent most of his day living in the palace, and played music with a guqin when he had something to do.
As a result, King Qi Wei's front foot bounced, and Zou Ji, who was waiting by his side, immediately said: It is good to play, it is wonderful to play, it is so loud to play.
King Qi Wei was unhappy when he heard this.
I just played for three or five seconds and nothing started. You are just bragging to me here. Are you fooling me this not pure?
So, King Wei of Qi asked Zou Ji, praising me for playing well, but you have to tell me why it is good. If you can't say it, I will deal with you.
(playing the piano)
Zou Ji said, I said it was OK, because although the sound of the piano was short, it cooperated well with each other. For example, the sound of the big string was thick and majestic, just like the emperor, while the sound of the small string was light and pleasant, like the subordinate. The big and small strings cooperate with each other to make the graceful sound of the piano play.
's explanation made King Wei of Qi feel relish and deeply convinced, and Zou Ji struck while the iron is hot and continued to make suggestions:
big and small strings can cooperate with each other to play the pleasant sound of the piano. Only then can the king and his subordinates work together to make Qi's country prosperous and prosperous.
You are now hanging up every day and don’t go to work every day. Qi State has been in chaos for a long time, so you should hurry up and cheer up. The advice of
was deafening and King Wei of Qi woke up like a dream.
Yes, there is no one who doesn’t dream, but there is no one who never wakes up. I’ve been lazy for so long, and it’s time to get up and work hard.
The lazy problem of King Qi Wei was solved, but Zou Ji still had many problems.
On the evening, Zou Ji came home from get off work. When he was free, he called his wife, concubine and guests one after another and asked them the same question, that is:
html or me or Xu Gong in the north of the city, who is more handsome?
(Xu Gong is more beautiful)
endorsement, this Xu Gong from the north of the city is a famous handsome guy in Qi State. He has fair skin, beautiful appearance and good temperament, tall and muscular figure, and that handsome thing is endless.
Although history books also record that Zou Ji "has been more than eight feet tall, but has a beautiful appearance, and has a good court clothes and clothes" ( Warring States Policy ), which means that this gentleman is eight feet tall and has a very handsome appearance, and is also a handsome guy, but it is obvious that when he meets a handsome guy like Xu Gong, Zou Ji is no match for him.
Anyone with discerning eyes can see that Zou Ji is not as handsome as Xu Gongshuai, but it was strange. He called his wife, and his wife said he was more handsome. He found his concubine, and his concubine said he was more handsome. He invited his friends, but his friends still said that he was more handsome.
Zou Ji wondered, it was obvious that Xu Gong was more handsome, but why do everyone say I was more handsome?
Looking at himself in the mirror, Zou Ji was a little dazed for a moment.
However, he quickly figured out all this, and then ran to the palace to pay homage to King Wei of Qi.
It was already very late at night. King Wei of Qi, who was cheering up, was busy for a day and was about to rest. As a result, Zou Ji ran in from outside the palace in a hurry. After seeing himself, he immediately reported:
King, I know that I am indeed not as handsome as Mr. Xu in the north of the city.
King Wei of Qi was confused. What does it have to do with me who is more handsome, whether you or Mr. Xu is more handsome? You don’t let someone rest in the middle of the night, and you are going to the palace in the middle of the night to say this?
Of course, Zou Ji was not just talking about this. He gasped, adjusted his breath, and continued to say:
I am not as handsome as Mr. Xu. This is a fact, but it is strange. My wife, concubine, and friends all say that I am more handsome than Mr. Xu.
At first I didn’t know what was going on, but later I figured out what happened. Because my wife favored me, he said I was more handsome, and my concubine was afraid of me, so he said I was more handsome, and my friends should have something to ask for, so he said I was handsome.
(Zou Ji advised)
After Zou Ji finished speaking, King Wei of Qi still didn't understand.
Are you handsome or not? Xu Gong is handsome or not. Others say you are handsome or not. What does it have to do with me? Are you finished in the middle of the night? Do you still let your neighbors rest?
When Zou Ji saw that King Qi Wei was about to get angry, he quickly explained: How can
say it doesn’t matter? You have to associate yourself through my affairs, right?
Look, there are no concubines in your palace who do not favor you and like you, so they always choose what you like to hear.
The ministers in the court are not afraid of you. In order not to make you angry, they will only follow you.
The people in the world don’t want to ask for you. If they see you, they will only say good things.
If you look at it this way, the concubines, officials, and the people are blinding you.
When King Qi Wei heard this, he thought it made sense and immediately said that he could not deceive me, and I had to do something big. What actions do
?
King Wei of Qi issued an order, if anyone in Qi can discuss, criticize, and educate me in public, as long as I hear it, I will immediately give a low-level reward.
Those who can write a letter to advise me, and those who have any questions will be given to me if they have any questions, will be given a medium reward.
who can accuse me of my face and point out my shortcomings and faults will be given a top-level reward.
Anyway, in short, we, King Wei of Qi, must listen to the truth, not listen to compliments and flattery.
(Minister's Memorial)
orders were issued, and the famous scene of Qi State came.
Hundreds of people came in a row, filling the corridors of the palace and the wide hall. Everyone was angry and spoke to King Wei of Qi.
, who made suggestions, those who said ideas, those who governed the country, and those who said ambitions, everyone talked about it, and the scene could be said to be quite spectacular.
Qi State is such a grand scene, one passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds, and soon it spreads to Yan State , Zhao State , Korean and Wei State .
When these countries heard that Qi was so politically friendly, they all sent envoys to pay their respects. For a time, Qi's reputation was greatly shocked and resounded throughout the Warring States period.
In addition to achieving such achievements, King Wei of Qi also took the time to hold a treasure meeting with King Hui of Wei of Wei.
The so-called treasure is that King Wei of Qi and King Hui of Wei sat together, each picking out the most precious things in their own country, comparing who is better and who is better.
King Hui of Wei took out the unparalleled Night Pearl , which shines like the day, and is a magical weapon in the world. However, King Wei of Qi believes that some of the ministers behind him are extremely wise and wise, and some are unparalleled in bravery. They are all famous generals and ministers of the world, which is considered a real treasure.
King Wei of Qi used a trick to change the concept, debated in a curve, compared talents to treasures, and made King Hui of Wei blush and thick-necked. In the end, the two parted in disagreement.
(Battle of Sancho)
This king who has achieved great success in his life and legendary meaning died of illness in 320 BC.
In the first three years of his death, he also led the military and civilians of Qi to defeat Qin , and won a great victory in the battle of Sanqiu.
In this way, King Wei of Qi is considered both civil and military.
The famous Chinese historian He Ziquan once said: King Wei of Qi pays attention to selecting talents and regards talents as the treasure of the country.
The way to use people is too mysterious. If you listen to everything in a side way, you will be dark, and if you listen to both, you will be bright. You will never be wrong.
From the establishment of Qi State thousands of years ago, Jiang Ziya , to the rise of heroes in the Warring States Period, Qi State has opened its new chapter under the rule of King Wei of Qi.
What is the future of Qiguo? Let's wait and see.
