How did the king of Chu try to insult Yan Zi, and how did Yan Zi refute it?

For the first time, the king of Chu took advantage of Yan Zi's short stature to let people open a five-foot hole next to the city gate. When Yan Zi came to the State of Chu, the King of Chu told people to close the city gate and let Yan Zi enter through this hole. Yan Zi looked at it and said to the receptionist, "This is a dog hole, not a city gate. Only by visiting the' dog country' can you enter from the dog hole. I'll wait here for a while. Ask first, what kind of country is Chu? " The receptionist immediately told Yan Zi's words to the King of Chu. The king of Chu had to order the gate to be opened wide to meet Yan Zi.

The second time, Yan Zi met the King of Chu. The king of Chu glanced at him and sneered, "Is there no one in Qi?" Yan Zi replied seriously: "What is this? Linzi, the capital of China, is full of people. Everyone pulls their sleeves, which is a cloud; Everyone was sweating, it was a shower; Pedestrians in the street jostled shoulder to shoulder, toes touching heels. How did the king say that there was no one in Qi? " King Chu said, "Since there are so many people, why did you come?" Yan Zi pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I really can't answer your question. Lying, afraid of committing the crime of deceiving the monarch; To tell the truth, I'm afraid the king will be angry. " King Chu said, "To tell the truth, I am not angry." Yan Zi bowed and said, "There is a rule in our country: when you visit a country at a higher level, you should send someone at a higher level; Visit the next country and send it to the next country. I am the most useless, so I was sent. " Then he smiled deliberately, and the king of Chu had to accompany him.

The third time, the king of Chu arranged a banquet for Yan Zi. Just as they were having a good time, two samurai took a prisoner to the hall. When the king of Chu saw it, he asked them, "What crime did that prisoner commit? Where is he from? " The samurai replied, "He committed theft and is from Qi." King Chu smiled and said to Yan Zi, "Why are Qi people so worthless and do such a thing?" Hearing this, the ministers of Chu all laughed happily, thinking that this would embarrass Yan Zi. I don't know that Yan Zi's face hasn't changed color. He stood up and said, "Why didn't your Majesty know? Citrus in Huainan is big and sweet. And a citrus species in Huaibei can only produce small and bitter oranges. Isn't it because the water and soil are different? By the same token, the people of Qi lived and worked in peace and contentment in Qi, and became thieves in Chu. Perhaps the soil and water in the two countries are different. " Hearing this, the king of Chu had to apologize and said, "I wanted to make fun of the doctor, but I didn't expect the doctor to make fun of me."
