1, Chu Zhuangwang will take away the tassels.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, wars broke out in various vassal states. At a grand banquet, Yang Ping, a famous soldier, put down the rebellion and all his concubines took part in the entertainment. During the dinner, the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, wine and food intertwined until dusk. Chu Zhuangwang ordered a candlelight banquet, and specially invited two favorite beauties, Ji Xu and Maggie, to take turns toasting civil servants and military commanders.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew and all the candles at the party went out. At this time, an official dared to hold Ji Xu's hand. In the process of pulling, Ji Xu tore off her sleeve, broke free and tore off the tassel belt on the man's hat. Ji Xu returned to Chu Zhuangwang to complain and asked the King of Chu to look at everyone's hats after lighting the candles, so as to find out the rude people just now. Hearing this, Chu Zhuangwang ordered not to light candles, but said loudly, "I'm going to have a banquet today, and I must leave all your joys. Now please take off your hats and tassels so that you can enjoy drinking more. " ?

When Chu Zhuangwang said this, everyone took off their hats and tassels, then lit candles, and the monarch and his subjects enjoyed themselves and then dispersed. Ji Xu blamed Chu Zhuangwang for not taking it out on her when she went to the palace. Chu Zhuangwang said: "The purpose of this banquet is to enjoy the carnival and coordinate the relationship between the monarch and the minister. It is human nature to be rude after drinking. If you want to investigate its responsibility and punish it, isn't it a big scene? " JiXu this just understand Chu Zhuangwang's intentions. This is the famous "farewell banquet" in history.

Three years later, the State of Jin fought with the State of Chu, and a minister was always in the front. He fought bravely for five times, took the lead in repelling the enemy, and finally won. Chu Zhuangwang was surprised and asked him, "My virtue is superficial. I didn't give you special treatment. Why didn't you hesitate to risk your life for me? "

The minister replied, "I should have died long ago!" " I used to get drunk and behave badly. Your majesty forbeared me and did not kill me. I can never repay the king for your shameful virtue. I often wish I could spill my blood on the enemy for a long time! I was the one wearing the broken hat that night! "So he defeated the Jin army, and Chu became strong.

2. A generation of famous players who are willing to be humiliated by their legs

Han Xin was a famous general in Qin and Han Dynasties and one of the founding heroes of Liu Bang. As a teenager, he showed unusual tolerance and ambition. Han Xin learned a lot about the art of war since he was a child, and he was familiar with all kinds of combat methods, but because no one recommended him, he never became an official. Han Xin is so poor that people in his hometown laugh at him.

One of them often insulted Han Xin in public. One day, he met Han Xin, who was sallow and emaciated with hunger, and insulted him in public: "Although this boy is much taller than me and has a broken arrow on him, everyone knows that you are a coward and never dare to touch other people's hair. Try it if you don't believe me. If your child dares to draw a sword to kill me, you are a brave man. Otherwise ... hey, your boy will drill under my crotch! "

Han Xinzhen couldn't wait to draw his sword and stab the hooligan who insulted himself in public. But on second thought: he is just a pig killer. I killed him and told him to die. It's not worth dying for him. If you want to die, you have to die on the battlefield. I can never be as knowledgeable as these ignorant guys! So Han Xin stared at this guy for a while, then jumped straight to the ground and got under the crotch of the hooligan.

How could these people think that it was this Han Xin who was so poor that he had to beg for food, and this Han Xin who was cheated and humiliated in public? A few years later, he became General Liu Bang who competed with Xiang Yu for the world. It was he who led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops of Xiang Yu in one fell swoop. Liu Bang praised him as an invincible general and made great contributions to the establishment of the Western Han regime.

Later, neighbor Wu Jia built a house and occupied this passage. The Zhang family disagreed, and the two sides defeated the county government. Considering that both sides of the dispute are prominent aristocratic families, the county magistrate did not dare to end it easily.

During this period, the Zhang family wrote a letter to the official in Beijing, asking to get involved in this matter. After receiving the letter, Zhang Ying thought he should be humble to his neighbors, and wrote four sentences in his reply to his family: A letter thousands of miles away is just a wall, so why not be three feet? The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, but I haven't seen Qin Shihuang.
