During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong listened to rumors, killed Prince Shen Sheng, and sent someone to arrest Shen Sheng's younger brother Zhong Er. When Zhong Er heard the news, he fled the State of Jin and forgot about it for more than ten years.
After many hardships, Zhong Er came to the State of Chu. King Chu Cheng thought that Zhong Er would make great achievements in the future, so he greeted him with state gifts and regarded him as a distinguished guest.
One day, the King of Chu gave a banquet in honor of Zhong Er, and the two chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Suddenly, the king of Chu asked Zhong Er, "If one day you return to the State of Jin and become a monarch, how can you repay me?" Zhong Er thought for a moment and said, "Beautiful women are waiting for you, precious silk, and you have a lot of rare bird feathers, ivory leather, and even more in Chu. What rare items does Jin Wang have? " The king of Chu said, "Your son is too modest. Having said that, you should show me something? " Zhong Er replied with a smile, "Thanks to you. If I can really return to China to be in power, I would like to get along well with your country. If one day, Jin Chu goes to war, I will definitely order the troops to retreat first (one house equals thirty miles). If I can't get your forgiveness, I will fight you again. "
Four years later, Zhong Er really returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch. This is the famous Jin Wengong in history. The state of Jin became stronger and stronger under his rule.
In 633 BC, the two armies of Chu and Jin fought. In order to fulfill his promise, Jin Wengong ordered the troops to retreat 90 miles and stay in Chengpu. When Chu Jun saw that 8 Jin J was retreating, he thought the other side was afraid and immediately pursued it. The Jin army took advantage of the weakness of the Chu army's pride in underestimating the enemy, concentrated its forces and defeated the Chu army greatly, and won the battle of Chengpu.
Expensive Paper in Luoyang ―― The Great Popularity of a Literary Works
Zuo Si, a writer in Jin Dynasty, was a naughty boy when he was a child, and he didn't like reading. Father often loses his temper, but Xiao Zuosi is still very naughty and refuses to study hard.
One day, Zuo Si's father was chatting with his friends, who envied him for having a clever and lovely son. Zuo Si's father sighed and said, "Stop talking about him. Zuo Si's study in childhood was not as good as that in my childhood. It seems that there is not much promise. " Said, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face. All this was seen and heard by Xiao Zuosi. He is very sad and thinks it is really useless not to study hard. So, I secretly made up my mind that I must study hard.
Cy_002.jpg (8089 bytes) Day after day, year after year, Zuo Si grew up gradually. Thanks to his persistent efforts, he finally became a knowledgeable person, and his articles were very good. He spent a year writing Du Fu of Qi, which showed his talent in literature and laid the foundation for him to become an outstanding writer. After that, it is planned to write Sandu Fu with the customs and products of the capitals of Wei, Shu and Wu in the Three Kingdoms as the content. In order to reach a certain level in content, structure and language, he devoted himself to research, carefully wrote and forgot to eat and sleep for ten years, and finally wrote the literary masterpiece Sandu Fu.
Sandu Fu has always been criticized, and people compare it with Sandu Fu, a literary masterpiece of Han Dynasty. Because printing had not been invented at that time, people who loved Sandu Fu had to scramble to copy it. Because there were too many people copying it, the supply of paper in Luoyang, the capital, was in short supply, and the price of paper in the whole city once rose sharply.
Every bush and every tree seems to be enemies-in a state of extreme panic.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fu Jian, king of Qin, took control of northern China. In 383 AD, Fu Jian led 900,000 infantry and cavalry to attack the rulers in the south of the Yangtze River. Jin generals Xie Shi and Xie Xuan led eighty thousand troops to resist. Fu Jian learned that 8 jin j strength is insufficient, just want to seize the opportunity, quick attack. Every bush and every tree seems to be enemies-in a state of extreme panic.
Unexpectedly, 250,000 vanguard troops in Fu Jian were unexpectedly defeated by 8 Jin Army in Shouchun, and suffered heavy losses. The general was killed and more than ten thousand soldiers were killed or injured. Qin Jun's spirit fell sharply, his morale was shaken, and the soldiers fled in panic. At this point, Fu Jian saw the 8 jin j in Shouchun city, and his fighting spirit was high. Then he looked at Bagong Mountain in the north, and saw that every grass and tree on the mountain looked like nomads from the army. Fu Jian turned to his younger brother and said, "What a powerful enemy this is! How can we say that the 8 Jin Army is insufficient? " He regretted underestimating his enemy.
The bad start cast an ominous shadow on Fu Jian's mind, and he made his troops deploy on the north bank of Feishui in an attempt to turn the tide by virtue of geographical advantages. At this time, Xie Xuan, the general of the Jin army, told Qin Jun to step back a little and make way for a river. Fu Jian did Sarah laugh. The general of the Jin army didn't know the common sense of fighting. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Jin army was busy crossing the river and it was difficult to fight, so he gave it a surprise attack, so he readily accepted the request of the Jin army.
Who knows, when the military order to retreat came out, it fled like a flood, while the Jin army tried to cross the river in pursuit, abandoned its helmet and abandoned its armor, and the bodies were everywhere. Fu Jian fled with an arrow.
Look at the picture and find a good horse-follow the clue to find something
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Sun Yang in the State of Qin who was very good at watching horses. No matter what kind of horse it is, he can tell good from bad at a glance. He is often asked to know horses and choose horses. People call him Bole ("Bole" is the name of the stars in the sky and is said to be in charge of managing Tianma). Look at the picture and find a good horse-follow the clue to find something
Once, Sun Yang passed by a place and suddenly saw an old horse with a salt cart barking at him. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a swift horse, only a little older. The old horse dragged the cart with difficulty, and Sun Yang felt too wronged by this swift horse. Originally a BMW pony that can run on the battlefield and play a greater role, now it is dragging a salt cart in obscurity, slowly consuming its momentum and physical strength. What a pity! Sun Yang was so sad that she burst into tears at the thought.
In order to make more people learn to kiss up to horses, to make Maxima no longer be buried, and to keep his unique skills from being lost, Sun Yang wrote a book with his years of accumulated experience and knowledge of flattery, which contains various forms of horses. This book is called Imitation of Horse Sutra.
Sun Yang had a son who read the "Xiangma Jing" written by his father. He thought it was easy to kiss up to horses, so he took this book and looked for good horses everywhere. He followed the pattern drawn in the book and found nothing. I searched according to the characteristics written in the book, and finally found a toad with characteristics very similar to those written in the book. I happily took toad home and said to my father, "Dad, I found a swift horse, but the hoof was almost the same." Father couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He didn't expect his son to be so stupid, so he said humorously, "It's a pity that Matthew likes to jump and can't be used to pull a cart." Then he sighed: "Follow the map."
The story comes from Yang Shen's "Yilin Felling Mountain" in the Ming Dynasty. The idiom "from the book" means to do things mechanically in the old way and not know how to be flexible; It is also a metaphor to look for things according to certain clues.
Catch up from behind
Ji 'an, a man in the era of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, was respected for his integrity, justice and daring to tell the truth. He is informal, pragmatic and official. Although it is not so vigorous on the surface, it can manage a county in an orderly way. So, the court transferred him from Donghai County to the court as a Lord and captain-an office in charge of the appointment and removal of local officials. Catch up from behind
On one occasion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that he would implement the Confucian policy of benevolence and righteousness and do good deeds for the people. Before the emperor had finished speaking, Ji An said, "Your Majesty is so greedy at heart, but on the surface he has to pretend to be kind. Why bother? " A word choked the emperor back. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cried, his face changed greatly, and he announced a blow to the DPRK. All the civil servants in the Qing Dynasty were supporting the staff for Ji An, fearing that he would cause great disaster. After Emperor Wu returned to the palace, he told people around him that Ji An was too thick and straight.
Since then, Ji An's official position has never been promoted. When he was Qi Huangong and a surname, Gong and Zhang Tang were humble officials. Later, they continued to rise, Gong became prime minister, Zhang Tang became an ancient bachelor, but He Ji 'an still stood still. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wu that your majesty's use of ministers is like chopping wood, and it is "the latecomers come from the top"! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty certainly realized that this was an indictment. Then he turned to his deputies and said, "People really have to study! You listen to Ji An, more and more outrageous! "
Imitate others and lose your personality.
Legend has it that two thousand years ago, there was a teenager in Shouling, Yan State. If you don't know his last name, just call him Shouling Youth!
This young Shouling is not worried about food and clothing, and he is a medium-sized talent in appearance, but he lacks self-confidence. He often feels that he is nothing like others for no reason-good clothes, delicious food and elegant standing and sitting. He learns what he sees and loses what he learns. Although he has a new look, he still can't do one thing well. He doesn't know what he should look like. Imitate others and lose your personality.
His family advised him to change this problem, which he thought was because his family cared too much. Relatives and neighbors said he was a bear breaking a stick, but he didn't listen at all. Over time, he doubted whether he should walk like this, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his walking posture was too stupid and ugly.
One day, he met several people talking and laughing on the road, only to hear someone say that the walking posture of Handan people is beautiful. As soon as he heard this, he had a heart attack and hurried forward to find out. Unexpectedly, the men saw him and walked away with a smile.
How beautiful is the walking posture of Handan people? He can't imagine. This has become his heart disease. Finally, one day, he went to Handan, a distant place, to learn to walk without telling his family.
When I arrived in Handan, I felt fresh and dazzling everywhere. Seeing children walking, he feels lively, beautiful and academic; Seeing the old man walking, he felt steady and learned; Watch women walk, sway and learn. In this way, after only half a month, he couldn't even walk, and his travel expenses were spent, so he had to climb back.
Waiting for unexpected gains

He wants to improve his life, but he is too lazy and timid. He is lazy, afraid of everything and always wants to meet the unexpected wealth delivered to his door. Waiting for unexpected gains
The miracle finally happened. One day in late autumn, he was plowing in the field and there were people hunting around him. The sound of shouting came one after another everywhere, and the frightened little beast ran desperately. Suddenly, a rabbit, impartial, bumped into his field root.
On the same day, he had a delicious meal.
After that, he stopped farming. All day, looking at the magical roots, waiting for the miracle to appear.
Like a raging fire-thrive
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, successively conquered Yue, Lu and Qi. He was ambitious and continued to March to the northwest, intending to conquer Jin with all his strength.
But it was at this time that Gou Jian, the king of Yue, copied the posterior route of the king of Wu. He led the army all the way to Suzhou, the capital of Wu, and sent troops to occupy the Huaihe River, cutting off the retreat of the king of Wu. Like a raging fire-thrive
The news poured cold water on Fu Cha, the king of Wu. He was so shocked that he immediately called civil servants and military commanders to discuss countermeasures. Everyone said that going back now means that both customs have lost the battle and will be beaten at both ends; If we can defeat the State of Jin, it will be tantamount to becoming the overlord in the Warring States period, and it is not too late to go back and clean up Gou Jian, the king of Yue.
The plan has been made, and the top priority is to conquer the state of Jin as soon as possible. After careful consideration, I decided to win by surprise.
One night, the king of Wu ordered. All the soldiers in the army eat well, and so do the horses. Select 30,000 elite soldiers from the whole army. Every ten thousand people form a phalanx, and * * * forms three phalanxes. There are 100 people in each square. At the beginning of each line is the officer's department. Every ten lines, that is, 1000 people, are in the charge of a doctor. The phalanx of each event is led by a general. In the center of the square, white helmets, white armor, white flags and white bows and arrows are all mastered by the prince himself, called Zhong Jun; The square on the left, red helmet, red armor, red clothes, red is like unfathomable; The square on the right is black. Set out in the middle of the night, and arrive at the place only one mile away from 8 jin j at dawn. At dawn, Wu Jun drummed and the sound of cheers shook the earth.
When Jin Jun woke up from his dream, he was shocked to see Wu Jun's three phalanxes: the white phalanx was in full swing-like a thatched field full of white flowers; Red Square, "looks like a fire"-like a burning flame; And that black square is like an unfathomable sea.

One summer, Cao Cao led his army to crusade against Zhang Xiu. The weather is unusually hot, the sun is like fire, and there is not a cloud in the sky. The troops walked on the winding mountain road, and the dense trees and rocks scorched by the sun on both sides made people breathless. By noon, the soldiers' clothes were soaked, the marching speed slowed down, and several weak soldiers fainted on the side of the road. Quench thirst by thinking of plum-masturbating with illusory hope
Cao Cao was worried that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and that the fighter plane would be delayed. However, at present, tens of thousands of people can't even drink water. How can we speed up? He immediately called the guide and asked him quietly, "Is there a water source near here?" The guide shook his head and said, "The spring is on the other side of the valley. It's a long detour. " Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "No, it's too late." He looked at the forest in front of him, thought for a moment, and said to the guide, "Don't say anything, I'll think of something." He knew that even if he ordered the troops to speed up at the moment, it would not help. A brainwave, the solution came. He grabbed the horse by the stomach and quickly rushed to the front of the team. Pointing at the front with a whip, he said, "Soldiers, I know there is a large area of Merlin in front, where the plums are big and delicious. Let's hurry around this hill and go to Meilin! " Hearing this, the soldiers seemed to eat it in their mouths, and their spirits were greatly boosted, and their pace could not help but accelerate a lot.
(of writing) presenting the main points from a large number of facts.
A long time ago, there lived a family near the Yellow River. They made a living by cutting reeds, weaving curtains and dustpans, and their lives were very poor.
One day, my son was cutting reeds by the river. The hot sun made him dizzy, so he sat down to have a rest. He looked at the river in front of him, shining in the sun, and remembered his father's words. There were many treasures in the deepest part of the river, but no one dared to go because there lived a fierce black dragon named Zilong. He thought, if we dive to the bottom of the river and find the treasure, our family won't have to work all day, but we can eat three meals. We might as well have a try. He took off his clothes again and again and plunged into the cold river. (of writing) presenting the main points from a large number of facts.
At first, he could see small fish swimming around him. Further down, the light gets darker and the water gets colder. Finally, he couldn't see anything, and it was dark all around. He is a little scared and doesn't know where to swim. Just then, not far away, there was a round object shining. Look carefully, ah, that's a pearl! He held his breath and swam over, holding the pearl in his hand and pulling it hard, and the pearl reached his arms. He quickly surfaced, went ashore and ran home.
As soon as my father saw the pearl, he asked him where it came from. He told the story to his father in detail. The father listened and said, "That was close! This precious pearl grows under the chin of the black dragon. The black dragon must have fallen asleep when you picked it. If it wakes up, you are dead. " This story can be found in Zhuangzi Lieyukou. The idiom "looking for pearls" means that writing an article can stick to the theme and grasp the main points.
Mourn your own smallness in front of the vast sea-bemoan your own smallness in front of great things
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a river god in the Yellow River. People call him Hebo. Hebo stood on the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the rolling waves coming from the west and rushing eastward, I said excitedly; "The Yellow River is so big that no river in the world can compare with it. I am the biggest water god! " Mourn your own smallness in front of the vast sea-bemoan your own smallness in front of great things
Someone told him, "What you said is wrong. There is a place called Beihai in the east of the Yellow River. That's really big. "
Herb said, "I don't believe it. No matter how big the North Sea is, can it be bigger than the Yellow River? "
The man said: "Don't mention a Yellow River, even if several Yellow Rivers flow into the North Sea, they are not satisfied."
Hebo stubbornly said, "I have never seen the North Sea. I don't believe it. "
The man was helpless and said to him, "You will understand what I am talking about when you have a chance to see the North Sea."
Autumn is coming, and the torrential rains for several days have caused large and small rivers to flood into the Yellow River. The surface of the Yellow River is wider. Looking across the river, you can't tell the cattle and horses on the other side. As a result, Hebo is even more proud that all the most spectacular scenery in the world is in his own place. When he was having fun, he remembered Beihai, which was told by others, so he decided to visit there.
Hebo came down the river to the Yellow River estuary, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Poseidon Beihai is welcoming him with a big smile. Hebo looked around and saw the Wang Yang in the North Sea, which was boundless. He watched it for a while and said to Beihai Ruo with deep feelings: "As the saying goes, if you only know some truth, you think no one can compare with yourself. This is me. " Today, if I hadn't seen the vast North Sea with my own eyes, I would have thought the Yellow River was chinese odyssey! In that case, people who know what to do will laugh at the Lord forever. "
Stealing a clock to plug your ears-deceiving yourself.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhi Bo, a nobleman of the State of Jin, was defeated. Someone took the opportunity to steal from Fan's house and saw a big clock hanging in the yard. This clock is made of exquisite bronze with exquisite shapes and patterns. The thief was very happy. He wanted to take this beautiful clock home. But this clock is big and heavy, so it cannot be moved. There is only one way he can think of, and that is to break the clock and move home separately.
The thief who stole the clock found a big hammer and threw it at the clock desperately. There was a loud bang and he was stunned. The thief panicked and thought, this is bad. Isn't this noise equivalent to telling people that I stole the clock here? In desperation, he jumped on the bell and tried to cover it with open arms, but how to cover it? The bell is still echoing in the distance.
The more he listened, the more afraid he became. He withdrew his hands freely and covered his ears hard. "Hey, the bell is getting smaller and I can't hear it!" The thief was very happy. "wonderful! You can't hear the bell if you can't cover your ears! " He immediately found two cloth balls to plug his ears, thinking that no one could hear the bell. So I let go and hit the bell. When the bell rang, it spread loudly to far away places. People heard the bell rush in and caught the thief.
People who are truly valuable are admirable. ; Although peach trees and plum trees don't talk, there is a road under them.
In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a brave general named Li Guang, who fought against Xiongnu more than 70 times in his life. He made outstanding achievements and was deeply loved by officers and men and the people. Although Li Guang is in a high position, commanding thousands of troops and defending the country, he is a hero, but he is not proud of himself. He is not only kind to others, but also shares joys and sorrows with soldiers. Every time the court gave him a reward, his first thought was his subordinates, and all those rewards were distributed to officers and men; When there is no food or water for marching and fighting, he himself is as hungry as the soldiers; When he started fighting, he took the lead and was brave and tenacious. As long as he gives the order, everyone will kill the enemy bravely without sacrifice. What a respected general this is! People who are truly valuable are admirable. ; Although peach trees and plum trees don't talk, there is a road under them.
Later, when the bad news of General Li Guang's death reached the barracks, all the soldiers wept bitterly, and even many people who were not familiar with the general at ordinary times mourned for him. In people's minds, General Li Guang is their great hero.
Sima Qian, a great historian in the Han Dynasty, praised the biography of Li Guangli: "Peach and plum don't say anything, but go their own way." Peaches and plums have fragrant flowers and sweet fruits. Although I can't speak, I still attract people to enjoy flowers and taste fruits under the tree, which makes them all walk out of a path under the tree. General Li Guang won people's respect for his sincerity and noble qualities.

Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty appointed a group of brutal officials to suppress those who opposed her. Two of them are the most vicious, one is Zhou Xing and the other is Lai Junchen. They killed many upright civil and military officials and ordinary people by framing, accusing and inhumane criminal laws.
Please enter the urn once, and a tip-off letter was sent to Wu Zetian. The content was actually to report Zhou Xing's contact with people for rebellion. Wu Zetian was furious and ordered Lai Junchen to investigate the matter. Lai Junchen is worried. He thinks that Zhou Xing is a crafty and treacherous person, and it is impossible for him to tell the truth just by a letter. But if I can't find out the result, the queen mother will blame me, and I can't afford it. what can I do? After thinking hard for a long time, I finally came up with a clever plan.
He prepared a sumptuous banquet and invited Zhou Xing to his home. Two people, you advised me to drink and talk it over. After three rounds of drinking, Lai Junchen sighed and said, "Brother, I usually handle cases and often meet some prisoners who refuse to plead guilty. I wonder what you can do? " Zhou Xing proudly said: "This is not easy!" Said, and took a sip of his glass. Lai Junchen immediately pretended to be sincere and said, "Oh, please give me advice quickly." Zhou Xing smiled insidiously and said, "You find a big urn, bake it around with charcoal fire, and then let the prisoner into the urn. You find a big urn, bake it with charcoal fire around it, and then let the prisoner into the urn. Think about it. What other prisoners don't confess? " Lai Junchen nodded yes again and again, and immediately ordered someone to bring a big urn to light the charcoal fire around him as Zhou Xing said, and then turned to Zhou Xing and said, "Someone in the palace secretly accused you of rebellion. I was ordered to investigate this matter. Sorry, please put yourself in the urn now. " Hearing this, Zhou Xing dropped the glass in his hand, then plopped to the ground and kowtowed again and again, saying, "I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I confess."

Before a painter paints, he already has the image of bamboo in his mind-he has a well-thought-out plan/strategy.
Painters in the Northern Song Dynasty have the same language, word and ability. The bamboo he painted is well known, and many people come to paint it every day. Where is the secret of Wen Tong's painting bamboo? It turned out that Wentong planted all kinds of bamboos in front of and behind his house. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is cloudy and rainy. He often goes to the bamboo forest to observe the growth and changes of bamboo, and figure out the length and thickness of bamboo branches and the shape and color of leaves. As soon as he has new feelings, he returns to his study, spreads paper and grinds ink, and draws his impressions on paper. Over the years, the images of bamboo in different seasons, different weather and different times have been deeply imprinted in his mind. As long as you concentrate on writing and stand in front of drawing paper, the various forms of bamboo observed on weekdays will immediately emerge in front of your eyes. So every time he draws bamboo, he looks very calm and confident, and the bamboo he draws is vivid and lifelike. Before a painter paints, he already has the image of bamboo in his mind-he has a well-thought-out plan/strategy.
When people praised his paintings, he always said modestly, "I just painted the mature bamboo in my heart."
There was a young man who wanted to learn to draw bamboo. He heard that the poet Chao was very good at Wentong's paintings, so he asked for advice. Huang wrote a poem for him, including two sentences: "You can use it to draw bamboo, and you have answers."
If the lips are gone,
In the Spring and Autumn Period, if you want to expand your power and territory, you will find an excuse to say that neighboring country Guo (guó) often invaded the border of Jin and wanted to send troops to destroy Guo. But there is a dangerous country between Jin and Guo, and the crusade against Guo must go through dangerous places. "How can we successfully pass through the country of Yu?" Jin Xiangong asked his ministers. Doctor Xun said: "Yu's monarch is short-sighted, greedy and cheap." As long as we send him priceless jade and BMW, he will not refuse to borrow. " Jin Xiangong is a little unwilling to listen. Xun read his mind and said, "The two countries are close neighbors. Guo zhiguo is destroyed, and he can't be immune to it. Your beautiful BMW is only temporarily stored in Gong Yu. " Adopted Xun's plan. If the lips are gone,
Yu Guojun was very happy when she saw these precious gifts. When Xun heard that he wanted to borrow something from him, he readily agreed. When Dr. Yu Guo heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, Yu Guo and Guo Guo are close neighbors. Our two small countries are interdependent and can help themselves if something happens. If the state of Guo perishes, our state of Yu will be hard to protect. As the saying goes:' the lips die and the teeth are cold', without lips, the teeth can't be kept! Never lend money to the state of Jin. " Qi Huangong said, "Jin is a big country, and now they specially send beautiful jade BMW to make friends with us. Can't we borrow a way to let them go? " Gong sighed again and again, knowing that the country of Yu was not far from the day of extinction, so he left the country with his family.
Sure enough, the army of the State of Jin rode the east wind of the State of Jin, destroyed the State of Guo, and then seized Qi Huangong, whom the State of Jin personally greeted, and destroyed the State of Jin. The story comes from Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong Five Years. The idiom "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold" means that the two sides are closely related and interdependent.

Qin Ershi's prime minister, Zhao Gao, is ambitious, planning to usurp the throne all day long. However, he doesn't know how many people can be at his mercy and how many people are against him. So he thought of a way to test his prestige and find out who dared to oppose him. Calling a deer a horse-deliberate misinterpretation
One day, Zhao Gao brought a deer into the palace and said to Qin Ershi with a big smile, "Your Majesty, I will give you a good horse." Qin Ershi looked at it and thought: This is not a horse, this is obviously a deer! He smiled and said to Zhao Gao, "The Prime Minister has made a mistake. There is a deer here. How can you say it's a horse? " Zhao Gao said with a straight face: "Please see clearly, this is indeed a swift horse." Qin Ershi looked at the deer again and said incredulously, "Why does a horse have horns on its head?" Zhao Gao turned around, pointed to the ministers and said loudly, "Your Majesty can ask the ministers if you don't believe me."
Ministers were all at a loss by Zhao Gao's nonsense, and whispered privately: What is this Zhao Gao doing? It's obviously a deer or a horse! Ministers see Zhao Gao sinister smile on his face, eyes staring at Zhao Gao in turn, eyes staring at everyone in turn, suddenly understand Zhao Gao's intention.
Some timid people with a sense of justice bow their heads and dare not speak, because telling lies is sorry for their conscience, and telling the truth is afraid of being hurt by Zhao Gao in the future. Some honest people insist that it is manual rather than horse. There are also some adulterers who usually follow Zhao Gao closely and immediately support Zhao Gao's statement and say to the emperor, "This is indeed a swift horse!"
Afterwards, Zhao Gao punished those honest ministers who did not obey him by various means, and even copied them.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a man named Zong Yi was favored by the Queen Mother and became the county magistrate of Shangdang County. After taking office, he did a good job in public affairs and was very aggressive in handling cases. Whether he is a rich and powerful gentry or a commoner, as long as he breaks the law, he will be justly tried and dealt with. The emperor admired him very much and appointed him as the chief of Hanoi County. As soon as he arrived, he cut down the giant of natural disasters. At that time, the law and order and social atmosphere in Hanoi County were greatly improved. Someone accidentally lost something on the way, and no one took it away. be in a great panic
When Zong Yi was transferred to Nanyang as a satrap, there was a powerful landlord Ningcheng who lived in Nanyang. Ning became a courtier and pretended to be humble at every farewell. However, Zong Yi had already heard about his evil deeds, and immediately launched an investigation after arriving in Nanyang, and soon found out his crime and locked him up.
Later, Emperor Wu appointed Zong Yi as the prefect of Dingxiang. At that time, Dingxiang's social security historian was very confused. After Zong Yi took office, more than 200 recidivists held in prison and relatives of more than 200 public officials who bribed recidivists to get rid of their crimes were strictly investigated, arrested and convicted, and more than 400 people were executed in one day. From then on, Dingxiang people "shuddered" when they heard Zhong Yi's name-the weather was not cold and they trembled all over.
Ha ha, you have a look first, there are many more.
