Please ask for the ancient translation of "Two peaches kill three men"

1. Translation:

Qi Jinggong had three strong men who were very brave. They all felt that they were invincible in the world, so they were extremely proud. They even named themselves the "Three Heroes of Qi".

What are the names of these "Three Heroes"? One is named Guyezi, one is named Tian Kaijiang, and the other is named Gongsun Jie. The three men usually played with guns and sticks and did random things. The common people did not call them "Three Heroes", but called them "Three Pests". The crying child immediately stopped talking when he heard that the "three evils" were coming.

At this time, Liang Qiuju, the official, became more and more powerful. Because he would cater to the monarch, Qi Jinggong trusted him very much. He colluded with the "three evils" again, and no one in the court dared to mess with him. Yanzi was very sad when he saw this situation.

One day, Duke Zhao of Lu came to visit Qi. Qi Jinggong held a banquet to entertain him grandly. Duke Zhao of Lu was accompanied by his uncle Sun She, Duke Jin of Qi was accompanied by Yan Zi, and the four of them sat in the hall. The three strong men stood in the hall, all of them were full of arrogance and arrogance.

The more Yan Zi watched, the more worried he became. He thought: If they are not eliminated, the country will fall into their hands sooner or later. After thinking about it, I came up with an idea and said to Qi Jinggong: "The 'Longevity Golden Peach' you have planted for many years happened to bear fruit this year. Today, the distinguished guests are here, and I want to pick a few golden peaches to present to you." Do you think it’s okay to give the two monarchs a try?”

Qi Jinggong was very happy because this peach tree was a seed donated by an overseas person. Qi Jinggong had people cultivate it for many years, but it was Only flowers bloom every year, but no fruits. The weather was good this year, and it was easy to get a few peaches. Qi Jinggong had been looking forward to eating peaches for a long time. After Yanzi mentioned it, Qi Jinggong was about to send someone to pick it. Yanzi said: "These peaches are very precious. I want to go and watch them pick them myself." After a while, the person in charge of the peach tree followed Yanzi in. He was holding a beautiful plate in his hand. There were six fresh peaches on the plate, which were fragrant. Each one was as big as the mouth of a bowl and as red as burning coals. Qi Jinggong said, "Are these just a few?"

Yanzi said, "There are a few more that are not very ripe. I only picked six." Qi Jinggong asked Yanzi to pour wine and offer peaches. Yanzi presented a peach to Duke Zhao of Lu and Duke Jin of Qi each, and said in his speech: "The peach is as big as a bucket and rare in the world. If the two monarchs eat it, they will live together forever." After finishing the meal, Duke Zhao of Lu kept praising them.

Qi Jinggong said: "This peach is very rare. Doctor Shusun has always been wise, so he should eat one." Shusunshe knelt down and said, "How can I catch up with Yan Xiangguo? Yan Xiangguo assists the monarch and the domestic politics is clear. . The foreign princes admire him and he has the greatest merit. This peach should be given to the Prime Minister."

Qi Jinggong said: "You don't have to be humble. Both of you have made great contributions. Each of them will eat a peach." They ate the peaches given to them.

Yanzi said: "There are two peaches left on the plate. I think you should pass an order and ask each minister to talk about his contribution. Whoever has the greater contribution will eat the peaches, okay?" ?" Qi Jinggong said: "Okay, let's do it like this." He immediately sent an order: All ministers should show their achievements and let the ministers comment.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun stood up with a belly full of embarrassment. What does Gongsun look like? His green face looked like it had been dyed in a dye vat, his eyes were like bells, and he was almost a foot tall. It was scary just standing there.

He shouted loudly: "One time I accompanied the monarch on a hunting trip. Suddenly a tiger pounced on the monarch. I ran up to him and killed the tiger with a few punches. I saved the monarch. This is a big credit." Big?" Yan Zi hurriedly said, "Big! Big! Who can compare with you for saving the king?" Gongsun drank the wine, picked up the peach, and ate it happily. One side retreated.

Then another strong man, Guyezi, jumped out and shouted like thunder: "What's the big deal about beating a tiger? Once I was escorting the monarch across the Yellow River. Suddenly a strong wind blew up and the Yellow River was turbulent. The boat was bouncing back and forth among the waves, and was about to capsize. At this time, I saw a big turtle (that is, a giant turtle) sticking its head out of the water, trying to hurt the king.

It was me who jumped. He went into the water, fought with the giant turtle in the waves for several hours, and finally killed the turtle. Is this a great achievement? Should I eat the peach? ”

After saying that, he reached for the peach. Qi Jinggong said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, if General Guye hadn't killed the turtle that time, the boat would have capsized. Would I still be alive? This is really the best skill in the world."

Eat peaches, eat peaches! "Yan Zi hurriedly gave him a peach and poured a cup of wine.

The third strongman, Tian Kaijiang, saw that all the peaches had been divided. He became anxious, rolled up his sleeves, and ran up angrily, shouting. : "I was once ordered to attack the State of Xu. I risked my life and not only killed their generals, but also captured more than 500 prisoners. The State of Xu surrendered, and even the neighboring States of Tan and Ju were so frightened that they all joined us. , who can compare with this achievement? Shouldn't I eat peaches?

Yanzi said: "Your contribution is greater than that of hunting tigers and turtles, but there are only two peaches, and they have been eaten. When the peaches are produced next year, I will give you the first one to eat, okay?" Now I have to give you a cup of wine. "

Qi Jinggong also said: "You can say that you have the greatest contribution, but it is a pity that you said it too late. Tian Kaijiang put his hand on the handle of his sword and said, "Killing a turtle or a tiger is nothing!" I fought in the south and the north, went through fire and water, but could not eat the peach. I was humiliated in front of the two monarchs. How could I have the face to stand here? After saying that, he drew out his sword and committed suicide.

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

Gongsun Jie jumped out and said: "People who have great achievements have not eaten peaches. I committed suicide, but I am still alive. Aren’t I going to be ridiculed by the world? I can't bear this shame! After saying that, he committed suicide. Guyezi immediately walked out and said: "They both died to eat peaches. I am still alive. Aren't they going to laugh at me because I am greedy for life and afraid of death?" It's so embarrassing for me to live alone! "

In a blink of an eye, the three strong men were all dead. When Lu Zhaogong saw this scene, he was frightened. After a long time, he stood up and said, "I heard that the three of them are famous strong men. Really? It's a pity that both of them died for the two peaches. "Qi Jinggong sighed, lowered his head, his face was very ugly.

Yanzi said: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. These three are all brave men. They only know how to use brute strength and have no wisdom. "

Lu Zhaogong said: "How many brave men are there in your country? ”

Yanzi said: “There are always dozens of people who are both wise and brave, and have the talents of generals and ministers. There are even more reckless warriors like them! "

After Lu Zhaogong left, Qi Jinggong said to Yanzi: "You spoke big words in front of the king of Lu, and finally saved Qi's face. But where can such warriors be found? Yanzi said: "I have already found a general for you." This person is capable of both literary and military skills, wisdom and courage. He is a good helper to assist you in your great cause! ”

Qi Jinggong heard this and asked people to invite him.

This man was Tian Ranju who later became a powerful figure among the princes. After he came, Qi State really revived.< /p>

2. Original text:

Sun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guye served Duke Jing and fought against the tiger with their courage. When Yan Zi passed by, the three sons could not afford it. p>

Yanzi came to see the Duke and said: "I heard that the Mingjun is a man who has accumulated courage. He has the righteousness of a monarch and his ministers above, and has the ethics of leadership below. He can restrain violence internally, intimidate the enemy externally, and use his merits above. I admire his courage, so I respect his position and respect his salary. Today, you are a warrior who has accumulated courage. He has no righteousness as a ruler and ministers above him, and no ethics as a leader below. He does not restrain violence internally, and cannot intimidate the enemy externally. This is a weapon that threatens the country and cannot be eliminated. "

The Duke said: "Three sons, if you fight, you may not be able to hit, and if you stab, you may not hit." "

Yanzi said: "These are all people who attack the enemy with all their strength, without the courtesy of elders and younger ones. Because he asked the envoy to give him two peaches, he said, "Why don't you, third son, eat the peaches without considering your merits?" "

Gongsun then looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yanzi, you are a wise man! If you, the envoy, count my merits and don't accept the peaches, you are not brave. There are many scholars but few peaches, so why not take the peaches in consideration of my merits? If you hit the tiger one after another, you can eat peaches without being the same as others. "Rising to support the peaches.

Tian Kaijiang said: "I fought with my troops and defeated the three armies. If I had the merit of opening the border, I could also eat peaches, but I would not be the same as others. "Rise up to support the peach.

Gu Yezi said: "I tried to follow the emperor to help the river, and the turtle held the left tail in its mouth to enter the stream of the mainstay. At that time, Ye Shao couldn't swim, so he sneaked a hundred steps against the current, nine miles along the current, caught the turtle and killed it. He held the tail of the turtle to his left and the head of the turtle to his right, and the crane leaped out. Everyone in Jin said: "He Bo!" ’ If you look at it, you will see the head of a big turtle. If you have the power of smelting, you can also eat peaches without being the same as others. Why don't the two sons turn against each other? " He drew his sword and stood up.

Gongsun Jie and Tian Kaijiang said: "I am not as brave as my son, and my merit is not as good as my son's. Taking the peach and refusing to give it away is greed; however, if I don't die, I have no courage. "They all turned against their peaches, grabbed their collars and died.

Gu Yezi said: "It is unkind to kill the two sons, and Ye is the only one. It is unkind to shame others for their words and praise their voices. It is unjust; hate it. What you do is without death and without courage. Although the two sons share the same peach, it is appropriate to cultivate their own peach. "He also turned against his peach, grabbed his collar and died.

The messenger replied: "He is dead."

The allusion of "Two peaches kill three scholars" comes from "Yan Zi Chun Qiu, Nei Pian Remonstrance, Part 24" by Yan Zi in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the original text, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there were three generals under Qi Jinggong: Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi. They had brilliant military exploits, but they were also proud of their achievements. In order to avoid possible future harm, Yanzi suggested that Qi Jinggong eliminate them as soon as possible. Disaster.

1. Appreciation of idioms:

Yanzi originally wanted to exploit the weakness of the three people in being proud of their talents, so that they could compete with each other for credit and alienate people's hearts, thus To weaken their political threat, they did not expect that they would sacrifice their lives for righteousness and have such a gentlemanly demeanor. They were relatively proud at first and valued their own achievements.

It was Gu Yezi's words that made the other two feel ashamed. When they felt that they had done something wrong, they would rather use their lives to make up for the shame. This is a very noble spirit. Guyezi's subsequent actions were the same. Therefore, after they committed suicide, both Yanzi and the king felt sad. In order to stabilize the government and the opposition, they mistakenly killed three righteous generals.

2. Related allusions:

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Jinggong had three generals: Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi. In order to avoid possible disasters in the future, Yanzi suggested that Qi Jinggong eliminate the disasters as soon as possible.

Yanzi set up a game: He asked Qi Jinggong to invite three warriors and reward them with two precious peaches; but the three people could not divide the two peaches equally, so Yanzi proposed a coordination method-three People are more meritorious than others, and the one with greater merit can get a peach. Gongsun Jie and Tian Kaijiang both reported their achievements first and each took a peach.

At this time, Guyezi thought that he had done more credit and was so angry that he drew his sword and accused the first two. After Gongsun Jie and Tian Kaijiang heard that Guyezi reported his credit, they also felt inferior. Feeling ashamed, he gave the peach away and committed suicide.

Despite this, Guyezi felt ashamed of his previous humiliation of others for praising him and asking others to sacrifice for him, so he drew his sword and killed himself - just like that, with only two peaches, he fought without a single blow. Remove three threats.
