The sage and the thief were originally brothers.

Liuxiahui The night trip encountered heavy rain, and hid in a abandoned temple to shelter from the rain. After a while, a beautiful girl was covered in her body and hid in the temple.
The beautiful girl saw Liu Xiahui and said pitifully, "My clothes are wet and my whole body is cold. Can you go out and stand under the eaves of the temple with your back facing your back in the temple for a while?" I want to take off my clothes, wring them out, and then put them on, and you can go into the temple.
Liu Xiahui nodded, went to the eaves outside the temple gate, stood in front of the heavy rain, until the beautiful girl changed her clothes and called him into the house, he never peeked at her.
The beautiful girl felt much more at ease when she saw Liu Xiahui being a gentleman.
In the middle of the night, the beautiful girl woke up by the cold and trembled all over. She walked to Liu Xiahui and asked to sit in his arms and use Liu Xiahui's body temperature to warm herself.
Liu Xiahui refused, thinking that this was inconsistent with etiquette and was depressed.
The woman asked Liu Xiahui, "Is it important to save lives? Or is your reputation important? If you are really a gentleman, if I sit in your arms, you will not have evil thoughts; even if you have evil thoughts, you can restrain your desires and make your behavior comply with etiquette and rules. In order to cherish your reputation, you are cruel to watch me freeze to death here. What kind of gentleman are you?!"
Liu Xiahui was speechless and wanted to take off his clothes and give it to this woman. This will not only protect his name as a gentleman, but also save a life.
The woman asked Liu Xiahui again, "In order to save your reputation, you are willing to give me clothes and freeze yourself to death. This is something that only hypocrites will do! Think about it, if I take your clothes and save your life, but freeze you to death, while people praise you as a gentleman, are you going to scold me to death? If you want to be scolded to death by people, why should I take your clothes? You just want to save your reputation, but you want to destroy all my reputation. This is not a selfish hypocrite, what is it?"
Liu Xiahui was refuted by the woman and was silent.
"Pity my old mother in my family!" The woman cried, "After I was frozen to death, you were helpless, unattended, blind and deaf, how can you live in the future!"
Liu Xiahui heard the woman's crying, and was entangled for a moment, then silently walked to the woman, sat down against the wall, and opened her arms to the woman.
The woman crawled into Liu Xiahui's arms and asked Liu Xiahui to hug her tightly in the name of keeping warm.
Liu Xiahui looked outside the temple gate and never looked at the woman, but she really hugged the woman tighter.
After a night, Liu Xiahui did not do anything that exceeded the rules, which made the woman admire him very much, so she said to Liu Xiahui, "You are such a gentleman! I am still in the boudoir and have never been married. Don't tell me about the matter tonight. After all, you and I know that you are innocent, and the world may not believe that you are innocent."
Liu Xiahui agreed.
At that time, men and women were concerned about not being close to each other. People regarded women's reputation as more important than women's lives. So, who spread the story of Liu Xiahui staying in a mess?
is definitely not that woman anymore.
If Liu Xiahui is a gentleman of Zhili Zhili , even if this happened, no one would know about it.
But there are only two possibilities for this incident to spread throughout the world: the first is that this incident has never happened at all, it is just a model story of gentlemen fabricated by Confucian for the needs of publicity; the second is that this incident really happened, and Liu Xiahui told this incident in order to gain the reputation of a gentleman.

Liuxiazhi to Qiguo become officials, but because of his honest personality, he was dismissed. On his way back to his hometown of Lu Kingdom , he was stopped by a stranger.
The stranger told Liu Xiazhi that he was also from Liuxiayi, Lu. He had heard that Liu Xiazhi was a gentleman, so he asked for something.
"I am doing business in Qi and cannot return to China in the short term. I have a hundred taels of gold hidden in a secret lattice under the stove at home. I hope you can tell my son so that they will not be poor."
It turns out that this man's surname is Tian Ji, and he is a robber. Because he is afraid of his identity being exposed, he has made a lot of money, and he has hidden it in a secret cubicle under the stove at home. Now, he is wanted by Qi people everywhere, and the possibility of escaping back to Lu is very low, so he asked Liu Xiazhi to hide the money and tell his son.
Liu Xiazhi didn't know that he was a robber, and he felt that it was a great honor for him to trust him so much, so he immediately agreed to the request.
Liu Xiazhi returned to his hometown and found the robber's child Tian Xiong, and Caibao's hiding place told Tian Xiong.
Tian Xiong was very happy and thanked him repeatedly. With this wealth, he was the rich man in Liuxiayi . He could build high-rise buildings, buy good land, and marry a beautiful wife.
Liuxiazhi returned home and rested for half a month. Then he asked his parents to invite a matchmaker to propose marriage to Wang Dahou's house eight miles away. This Wang Dahou has a daughter, Erya. He heard that not only looks beautiful, but also can read the words. Liu Xiazhi has been interested in it for a long time.
The matchmaker told Zhan Zhi's parents that Wang Erya is already married, and his husband is Tian Xiong from Tianjiazhuang is said to have no idea what kind of money he made. He actually took out fifty taels of gold as Wang Erya's betrothal gift, which immediately impressed Wang Dahu and his wife.
Liu Xiazhi heard that his sweetheart was married by Tian Xiong and immediately vomited blood.
When he was an official in Qi State, he refused to bow to the unhealthy trend because of his integrity. He was excluded by his colleagues and threw away his official position in a mess and returned home in shame.
He knew the hiding place of the hundred taels of gold. He did not have any selfish thoughts. He ran for a long distance and told Tian Xiong that he had not Not only did he get a point of benefit, he also helped Tian Xiong get the betrothal gift to marry Wang Erya, and turned his sweetheart into Tian Xiong's arms.
This made Liu Xiazhi begin to doubt his outlook on life.
Not long after, he saw Tian Ji's reward advertisement on the street, and only then did he realize that the person who asked him to convey the news was actually a robber.
This made Liu Xiazhi very moved, "In the troubled times, his ancestors took the risk of beheading and became robbers. By killing and robbing, they accumulate wealth, so that their descendants can live a good life. Those who are good at work and farming, rely on sweat and tears, often have no spare money, and their descendants will be at a disadvantage in social competition. Since that's the case, let me be the robber of the Zhan family. "(Think about the wealth accumulation of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan, does the wealth accumulation of their countries rely on invasion and robbery against other countries? China's wealth has been plundered too much by the great powers, but after the founding of the New China, we have never plundered any country. We have relied on the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese people, the blood and sweat and frugality of our ancestors, and have gradually come to this day. Many people envy the development of Europe, but forget that there are so many invaded and colonized third world countries buried in this development.)
Since then, Liu Xiazhi has gradually become the number one thief in Spring and Autumn , "The thief Zhu has been in charge of nine thousand soldiers, rampant in the world, and invaded the princes. The town you pass by will be protected by a large country and a small country will be protected by a small country. "
Liu Xiahui was an official in Lu State, and had a straightforward personality and offended the Prime Minister of Lu State Zang Wenzhong. Zang Wenzhong wanted to kill Liu Xiahui, but a disciple said, "Liu Xiahui has a younger brother Liu Xiazhi as a thief, and there are nine thousand slaves who follow him. If you kill Liu Xiahui, I am worried that Liu Xiazhi will destroy you! "
Zang Wenzhong deeply agreed and demoted Liu Xiahui to three levels, but he did not dare to take his life.
In history, Liu Xiahui offended his boss repeatedly and was demoted or dismissed repeatedly, but he could save his life. It should be due to Liu Xiazhi's contribution?
