Think tank classical Chinese about the Han Emperor's founding, it rained heavily in the customs for more than forty days. ..... This is good at checking errors. The translation of this part.

Translation:

During the first years of Emperor Hancheng's reign, it rained heavily for more than 4 days, and the people in the capital disturbed each other for no reason, saying that a flood was coming soon. The people were in a hurry to flee, which led to trampling on each other, and the screams of the old and the weak were endless, and there was chaos in Chang' an city. General Wang Feng suggested that the Empress Dowager, Emperor Cheng and concubines of the harem board the ship immediately, and then ordered the officials and people to go to the city to avoid water.

All the ministers agreed with Wang Feng's suggestion. Only the right general, Wang Shang, said, "Since ancient times, the monarch who has no way has been in power, and the flood has not overflowed over the city wall. Why did the flood surge in one day today? This must be a rumor, and people should not be ordered to go to the city, lest they be more disturbed. " Emperor Cheng did not write a letter. Soon, the chaos subsided a little, and when asked, it was indeed a rumor. Everyone praised Wang Shang for his composure and vision.

during the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty, there was an insurrection by the Japanese in the southeast, and Suzhou was under martial law. Suddenly, it is said that the enemy came from the west and has passed through Hushu. The satrap led the soldiers to the city and gave an urgent order to close the city gate. Tens of thousands of villagers swarmed outside the city gate, and the cries shook the world. Tong Zhi Ren Huan said angrily, "Is it a shepherd to abandon the people before seeing the enemy?" I have something to take care of. "

He sent county officials to open six city gates to accommodate the people outside the city. He took his sword and led soldiers to sit on the government, and then ordered to block the road to the west and let all the villagers enter the city. It was a long time before the enemy arrived at the city gate. Ren Huan's move saved many people, and Jiangsu people are still worshipping him.

during the Wanli period, a stage was built in a village in Wuxi to entertain the gods. Some people booed on the stage and said that the enemy was coming. The actors fled hastily before they could change their costumes, and the people attending the theatre scattered in a flurry, scrambling to spread the news that the enemy was coming. The news spread all over the city at once. And some people say that they saw the enemy with their own eyes. Therefore, the city gate was closed during the day, and people outside the city crowded and trampled on it, killing nearly 1 people, and it was not until late at night that it was settled.

although this is almost a myth to confuse people, it is also due to the fault of not being sophisticated enough. Generally, when there is a war, detectives should be placed in the distance. Even if the bandits really approach the city, they still need to be dealt with calmly to keep people's hearts calm, and then they can start to discuss and decide the strategy of fighting or defense. If it is a rumor, it should be eliminated directly with true facts.

In the early years of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, it was rumored among the people that the emperor would choose officials and daughters. When Xuanzong heard this, he ordered people to choose the useless maids in the harem and take them home in a car, and the rumors subsided. As the saying goes, "If you want to stop others from slandering you, it is better to cultivate your own virtue." This is also a person who is good at quelling rumors.

The original text of Feng Menglong's "Think Tank" in Ming Dynasty:

During the founding of Emperor Hancheng, it rained heavily in the pass for more than forty days. The people in the capital were surprised for no reason, saying that "the flood is coming", and the people ran around and ravaged each other, screaming at the old and weak, and there was chaos in Chang' an. Wang Feng, the general, thought that the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Palace could make officials and civilians go to the city to avoid water. All the ministers followed the advice of the phoenix, and the right general Wang Shang said alone, "Since ancient times, there has been no way in the country, and the water still does not break the walls. Why should there be a flood one day?" This will be false. It is not appropriate to go to the city and re-shock the people. " Go up is stop. After a while, I decided to ask it, and the fruit was wrong, so the American business insisted.

between jiajing and jingjing, there was chaos in the southeast, and Sioux City was under martial law. Suddenly, it was said that Kou had come from the west and had already passed the Hushu Villa. The satrap led the people to the city, so he closed the door. Tens of thousands of villagers avoided the bandits, and they rushed out of the door, howling loudly. Ren Tongzhihuan angrily said, "If you abandon the good people before seeing Kou, you can't say why you are guarding the herd! If you have something to do, please ring it! " He sent the county's current cave to open six doors to accept the people, but he took the sword and handsome soldiers and took the official pavilion to curb the west road. Villagers never put off till tomorrow what you can, for a long time, and the Japanese began to live a lot. Wu Min has been dead to this day.

During the May Day of Wanli, a township in Wuxi set up a stage to entertain the gods. Those who are coaxed into Taiwan, those who are superior don't take off their clothes and run away in haste. The audience also dispersed in the rain. There is a saying in the mouth: "The Japanese are here!" This statement spread all over the world in a moment, and it was said that "I saw the thief in the golden clothes", so the city gate was closed by day, and people outside the city filled in and trampled on nearly 1 people, and it was decided at night. Although this is close to the demon, there are also companies that don't practice things too much.

When the soldiers are on fire, you should be a detective far away. Although Kouguo is near the city, you should still calm down the town so that people will not be confused, and then you can discuss and defend it. If it is false, it should be justified.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, Wuzhong falsely said that "Chinese officials came to pick embroidered women", and if the people were crazy, their marriage was exhausted at one time. This is all the work of a wicked young man who has no wife. If there is a department that does not ban it, there will be many men and women who have lost it. At the beginning of Kaiyuan, the folks falsely said that "women were recruited to fill the court". From what I heard, I chose the useless ones in the harem today, and they returned to their homes. It is a sigh of relief. The saying goes, "Stop slandering is like self-cultivation." This is also good at stopping mistakes.
