A short and pithy historical story (with specific dynasties and figures)

During the Three Kingdoms period, Monroe of Soochow was a very learned person. After Zhou Yu's death, he succeeded as commander-in-chief of Soochow. Design defeated Guan Yu of Shu Han and sent Pan Zhang to kill Guan Yu, who died soon. Lv Meng was originally a man who didn't want to work hard, so he didn't have much knowledge. When Lu Su met him, he didn't think there was anything to recommend. Later, I met him again and saw that he was completely different from before, so powerful. When it comes to military issues, he seems very knowledgeable, which surprised Lu Su. He laughed and joked: "Now, you are so knowledgeable, brave and scheming, and you are no longer the Amon of Wu Xia." Lu Meng replied: "People should be treated differently after three days!" Monroe's words, the original text is "Don't wait for three days, scratch your eyes." Pang Cong, minister of Wei, will accompany Wang Wei to Zhao as a hostage. Before he left, he said to Wang Wei, "Now someone says there are tigers in the market. Can you believe it? " Wei Wangdao: "I don't believe it." Pang Cong said, "If a second person says there are tigers in the market, can your majesty believe it?" Wei Wangdao: "I have some doubts." Pang cong added, "if a third person says there are tigers in the market, will your majesty believe it?" Wei Wangdao: "Of course I will believe it." Pang Cong said: "It is clear that there will be no tigers in the market, but after three people said it, it seems that there really are tigers." Now Handan, the capital of Zhao, is far away from the capital of Wei, much farther than the market here, and there are more than three people who say that I am. I hope the king can see clearly. "Wang Dao Wei:" I know everything myself. "Pang Cong accompanied the prince back home, and Wang Wei didn't summon him again. Cities are places where population is concentrated. Of course there will be no tigers. It is obviously a rumor and deception to say that there are tigers in the market, but many people will often believe it if they don't look at the problem from the truth. This story was originally intended to satirize Wei Huiwang's ignorance, but later it was extended to the idiom "Three people make a tiger", which is a borrowed metaphor, meaning that sometimes rumors can cover up the truth. For example, to judge whether a thing is true or false, we must carefully examine and think, and we can't hear it from hearsay. Otherwise, "three men make a tiger" will sometimes mistake rumors for truth. At the end of the Warring States Period, there was a big businessman named Lv Buwei in the State of Qin. When he was doing business in Zhao State, he helped King Zhuang of Qin (who worked as a proton accessory in Zhao State at that time) betrothed his concubine to his wife. After Zi Chu acceded to the throne, he was named Wen Xin Hou, and his official residence was in Guo Xiang. King Zhuang Xiang died of illness after only three years in office. His 13-year-old son Zheng (born to Zhao Ji) succeeded to the throne, the famous Qin Shihuang in history, who was honored as Guanzhong, and all administrative power was in his hands. It was very popular at that time to train scholars. The famous Four Childes of the Warring States have thousands of followers, and Lv Buwei also has three thousand followers. As his think tank, he came up with various ways to consolidate his regime. These men and women have everything, and everyone has their own views and experiences; Write all this down. Together, it became a masterpiece of more than 200,000 words and was nominated as Lv Chunqiu. Lv Buwei thinks this book is a classic of Qin's unification of the world. At that time, Lu announced a book in Xianyang, Qin Dou, saying that anyone who could add or subtract a word in the book would be rewarded with 1000 yuan (a catty of gold). Han Xin, the great general who helped Emperor Gaozu paint the world, was in a very difficult situation without success. At that time, he often fished at the gate, hoping to solve his life with good luck. However, this is not a reliable way after all, and we should always be hungry. Fortunately, where he often fishes, there are many floating mothers (old women who clean silk floss or old clothes and old fabrics) working by the river. One of them sympathized with what happened to Han Xin and kept giving him relief and food. Han Xin thanked the hard-working floating mother for her kindness and told her that she would be rewarded in the future. Floating mother was very unhappy at Han Xin's words, saying that she would not be repaid by Han Xin in the future. Later, Han Xin made great contributions to Hanwang and was named King Chu. He remembered that he had been loved by his wandering mother before, so he ordered someone to bring her food and a table, and even gave her 1200 gold as a thank you. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to take the east and west of the gorge (in present-day Rongxian County, Jia Luhe) as the boundary, and they did not invade each other. Later, Liu Bang followed the advice of Sean and Chen Ping, and thought that Xiang Yu should be destroyed when he was weak. Then he chased Xiang Yu's army with Han Xin, Peng Yue and Liu Jia, and chased Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu) eastward. Finally, several layers of troops were arranged to tightly surround Xiang Yu (in the southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province). At this time, Xiang Yu's soldiers were few and there was no food. In the evening, he was very surprised to hear the troops around him singing Chu folk songs and said, "Is Liu Bang banned? Why are there so many Chu people in his army? "Finished, I didn't fight, just get out of bed and drink in the camp. Sing with his favorite concubine Yu Ji. After singing, I cried, and everyone around me was very sad, and they all felt that they could not lift their heads. After a while, Xiang Yu got on his horse and escaped from the south with only 800 cavalry. Run away and fight, commit suicide by Wujiang River. During the Warring States Period, there was a minister in the State of Chu named Zhuang Xin. One day, he said to King Xiang of Chu: "When you were in the palace, Zhou Hou was on the left and Xiahou was on the right; When you went out, Yan Lingjun and Shou Jing Jun followed you all the time. You and these four people are very particular about luxury and debauchery. Regardless of state affairs, Ying (the capital of Chu, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) is bound to be in danger! Hearing this, Wang Xiang was very dissatisfied and angrily scolded, "Are you crazy? Deliberately saying these insidious things to confuse people? "Zhuang Xin replied unhurriedly:" I really think things must go this far, and I dare not deliberately say that Chu has any misfortune. "If you always cherish this person, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to hide in Zhao and see what will happen. " Zhuang Xin lived in Zhao Guocai for five months, and the State of Qin invaded Chu, and Wang Xiang was forced into exile in Yangcheng (now northwest of Xixian County, Henan Province). Only then did I feel that Zhuang Xin's words were good, so I quickly sent someone to get Zhuang Xin back and asked him what he could do. Zhuang Xin said sincerely: "I've heard that it's not too late to think of hounds when I see rabbit teeth;" It's not too late to mend the sheepfold after the sheep have run away. ..... "This is a very meaningful story, only know pleasure, don't know how to do things, the result must be a tragic failure. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a businessman in the State of Chu who specialized in selling jewelry. On one occasion, he went to Qi State to sell jewelry. For the sake of good business and best-selling jewelry, he specially made many small boxes with precious wood, which were beautifully carved and decorated, so that the boxes would give off a fragrance, and then put the jewelry in the boxes. A man from Zheng saw that the box containing the orb was exquisite and beautiful. After asking the price, he bought one, opened the box, took out the treasure inside and gave it back to the jeweler. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a monk named Guo Ze, who made great achievements in Buddhism and was very close to his friend Li Yuanshan. One day, they went on a trip together and passed a place where they saw a woman drawing water by the river. This woman is pregnant with a big belly. Yuan Ze pointed to the woman and said to Li Yuanshan: "This woman has been pregnant for three years, waiting for me to be reborn as her son, but I have been avoiding it. Now that I see her, I can't avoid it. Three days later, the woman gave birth to a child. Please come to her house at that time. If the baby smiles at you, it's me. Take this smile as proof! Wait until the thirteenth year, the Mid-Autumn Festival on a moonlit night, and I will wait for you at Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou, and then we will meet again. "After they broke up, Bao Yuantan really died that night, and the pregnant woman gave birth to a boy. On the third day, if Li Yuanshan takes care of Yuan Ze, he visits the woman's house, and the baby really smiles at the ground. Wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival moonlit night 13 years later, Li Yuanshan arrived at Tianzhu Temple as scheduled for a visit; As soon as I arrived at the gate of the temple, I saw a shepherd boy sitting on the back of a cow and watching singing. He said: "There is an old soul on the Sansheng Stone. There is no need to admire the moon and sing the wind. Shamed lovers visit each other from a distance, even though the body is of the opposite sex. "Nowadays, most people have a special fate in metaphor. Or friends get to know each other by chance or in a special environment, become bosom friends and help themselves, so they are called "the luck of life". During the Spring and Autumn Period, a man in Jinping asked Qi Huangyang, "Nanyang County lacks a county magistrate. Who do you think should be sent? Qi Huangyang replied without hesitation: "It is most appropriate to send Xie Hu. He is sure to be competent! Gong Ping asked him again in surprise, "Isn't Xie Hu your enemy?" ? "Why did you recommend him!" Qi Huangyang said: "You only ask me who is capable and who is the most suitable;" You didn't ask me if Xie Hu was my enemy! " So Gong Ping sent Xie Hu to Wan County to take office. After Xie Hu arrived. He did many good things for the people there, and everyone praised him. A few days later, Gong Ping asked Qi Huangyang again, "The court is short of a judge now. You see, who is qualified for this position? Qi Huangyang said, "Wuqi can do it." . Gong Ping was surprised again and asked, "Isn't Wuqi your son?" How do you recommend your son? Not afraid of others gossiping? "Qi Huangyang said:" You only ask me who is qualified, and I will recommend him; "You didn't ask me if Wuqi was my son!" Gong Ping sent Wuqi to be a judge. When Wu Qi became a judge, he did many good things for people and was very popular and loved by people. Confucius heard about these two things and praised Qi Huangyang very much. Confucius said, "Qi Huangyang said it well! He recommends people completely by ability, but does not recommend him because he is his own enemy and deliberately takes sides; Not because he is his own son, but because he is afraid of being discussed, he is not recommended. People like Huang Qiyang can be said to be "selfless"! " During the Spring and Autumn Period (10), since the death of Prime Minister Yan Ying, Qi Jinggong has never been accused of his fault in person, so he felt very depressed. One day, Qi Jinggong held a banquet for all the officials. After the banquet, they all went to the square to shoot arrows for fun. Every time Qi Jinggong shoots an arrow, even if he doesn't hit the center of the arrow magpie, the civil and military officials shout loudly: "Good! Wonderful! " "It's really like archery, unique in the world." Afterwards, Qi Jinggong told the courtiers about it. Zhang Xianzhong said to Gong Jing, "You can't blame all the courtiers for this. The ancients said, "Go up and then down. "What the king likes to eat, his ministers also like to eat; What the king likes to wear, ministers also like to wear; The king likes to flatter, and naturally, his ministers often flatter the king. " Gong Jing listened to Zhang Xianzhong's words and thought that Zhang Xianzhong's words were very reasonable, so he sent his entourage to reward Zhang Xianzhong with many precious things. Zhang Xian looked at it and shook his head. He said, "Those who flatter the king just want more rewards. If I receive these rewards, I will become a despicable person! " He accepted these precious things without saying anything. Later generations described "upward behavior, downward effect" as something that people above liked to do, and people below followed suit. In our real society, don't we see more people like this? For example, the host of a company often eats, drinks and plays outside, ignores official business, and subordinates follow suit. This is "up and down". This idiom means no, so it must also describe no.
