What's the story about the origin of flattery?

There is a joke known to all women and children: once upon a time, there was an apple polisher who took pictures of emperors and officials. When the prince heard about it, he sent a kid to take him to the prince's palace, ready to sentence him to the frying pan. The man's eyes were ga zi ng, and then he plopped down on his knees and said, "Master Yan, it's not that I'm a mean person who wants to condescend. It's those people who like me to kiss up and flatter. If they can be as selfless as you and enforce the law like a mountain, then it is useless for me to flatter them! " Yan heard every word was true, so he released him and sent the imp to send him back to the soil. ?

You see, from guilty to innocent, how can we escape the punishment of "frying"? Kiss up! "Flattery", also known as "flattery", can make the subject unconsciously fall into the trap of the photographer, such as drinking and interacting with people, which shows the effect of flattery. The names "flattery" and "flattery" sound a bit indecent, so the elite changed their names to "wearing a top hat"
