40. Li Ling's reply to Su Wushu

Ever since he surrendered to the Huns, until today, he has been in poverty, sitting alone in sorrow and pain, seeing nothing all day long, only seeing Foreign people. They wore leather armbands and lived in felt tents to protect themselves from the wind and rain. They ate smelly meat and drank milk to satisfy their hunger and thirst. I raise my eyes and want to talk and laugh. Who can share the joy with me? The ice on the border was black, the ground was severely frozen, and only the sad sound of the north wind could be heard. In the cold autumn of September, the grass outside the Great Wall has dried up. I can't sleep at night. I listen far away, and the beards and bamboo sticks are ringing each other, the herds horses are screaming and moaning, wild beasts are in groups, and various sounds can be heard in the border areas. I sat and heard these sounds in the morning, and tears flowed out of my eyes unconsciously. Alas, Ziqing! Do I, Li Ling, have a different heart? Can I not be sad?

After I separated from you, I felt even more bored. I thought about my mother who was killed in old age, and my wife and children who were not guilty and were also killed. I myself have failed my country and am pitied by the people of the world. You will be honored when you return home, while I will suffer humiliation if I stay in the Huns. This is my fate. What should I do? I was born in a country that upholds etiquette and righteousness, but came to a place of ignorance and betrayal of the kindness of the king and parents, and lived in a barbarian country for a long time. How sad!

The State of Lu has a law: People of the State of Lu are slaves in other vassal states, and those who can redeem them can go to the national treasury to collect the ransom. Once, Zigong (Duanmuci), a disciple of Confucius, ransomed a Lu man in a vassal state, but refused to accept the ransom given to him by the state (after returning). Confucius said: "Gi (Zigong's name), you are not taking a good approach. What the sages do can change customs and habits and affect the behavior of the people, not just personal matters. Today, the country of Lu has few rich people and poor people. If you take back the country's ransom, it will not damage the value of your actions. But if you refuse to take back your ransom, (from now on) the people of Lu will no longer be willing to redeem the lives of their compatriots who have become slaves. " Zilu rescued a man who fell into the water. The man thanked him for giving him a cow, which Zilu accepted.

Confucius said: "In this way, the people of Lu will surely have many people to rescue those who fall into the water."

When Zhang Yong was about to leave, Kou Zhun sent him to the suburbs. Kou Zhun asked him: "What do you want to teach me?" Zhang Yong said slowly: "You must read "The Biography of Huo Guang". "Kou Zhun didn't understand what he meant. After returning home, he took out "The Biography of Huo Guang" and read it. When he saw the phrase "no learning, no skill" in it, (he realized it). Smiling and said: "This is Mr. Zhang talking about me!"

44. The Golden Pot of Alchemy

When Jinggong was traveling in the Kingdom of Ji, he found a golden pot and opened it. There was a silk script written in red pen, which said: "Don't turn over the fish when eating it. Don't turn it over." "Ride on a bad horse." Jinggong said, "Well, that makes sense to you! Don't turn over the fish because you hate its fishy smell; don't ride on a bad horse because you don't like the way it can go." "It's not like that. Don't turn your back on the fish. It's for the king not to use up the people's strength! Don't ride on bad horses. It's for the king not to put people with no talent around to use!" Jinggong said: "Since Ji Guo has Why would a country be destroyed if it had such a good motto for governing the country?" Yanzi replied, "I heard that a gentleman has a good idea for governing a country, but he hangs it on the street to let everyone know about it. I know; Ji Guo has such a motto, if you put it in a pot, what are you waiting for if the country is not destroyed?

It happened that a high official was passing by the market and saw the piano. He bought it for one hundred gold and presented it to the court. After the music officials passed it around and looked at it, they all said: "This is a rare treasure in the world." When the overseas Chinese heard this, they sighed and said: "This world is really sad! Is it just this piano that has suffered like this? ? Nothing in the world is like this! If you don't make a plan early, you will perish together with this country!" So he left and entered the mountains near Danming. He didn't know where he went.

Zeng Zi did not accept it. The man went back and sent it again, but Zengzi still didn't accept it. The person who sent him said, "It's not like you asked the king for this. The king himself gave it to you. Why don't you accept it?" Zengzi said, "I have heard that, 'If you accept something from others, you will be afraid of others. Those who give things to others treat others with arrogance. "Even if Lord Lu gives me a city and doesn't treat me with arrogance, how can I not be afraid of him?" Zengzi still did not accept it. Confucius learned about this and said: "Zeng Shen's words are enough to preserve his integrity."

49. Lu Sengzhen is selfless

Lu Sengzhen is an official and does not show favoritism. His nephew regarded selling onions as a means of making a living. When Lu Sengzhen returned to his hometown to serve as an official, he gave up selling onions and asked him to become an official in the state. Lu Sengzhen said: "I accept an important task for the country, and I have nothing to repay. You have legitimate professions, how can you randomly ask for positions you don't deserve? You should just go back to the green onion shop as soon as possible. "Lu Sengzhen's hometown lives in the north of the city. There is an official office for postal administration in front of it.

50. Liu Xingben came to remonstrate.

The emperor of the Sui Dynasty once scolded an official and whipped him in the main hall. The admonishment doctor Liu Xingben wrote: "This man has always been honest, and his fault this time is very small. I hope you can forgive him a little." The emperor ignored him.

The emperor calmed down, apologized, and forgave the whipped official.

51. Li Sheng discusses good scholars

Wang Sheng likes to learn but does not master the method. His friend Li Sheng asked him: "Some people say that you are not good at learning. Is it true?" Wang Sheng was unhappy because of this and said: "I can remember everything the teacher said. Isn't this also good at learning? ?" Li Sheng advised him: "Confucius said, 'Study but don't think, you will feel confused and gain nothing.' You won't achieve anything, so why do you say you are good at learning?" Wang Sheng was even more annoyed and turned around and left without responding to Li Sheng's words. Five days later, Li Sheng went to Wang Sheng and told him: "Those who are good at learning do not consider it a shame to ask for advice from people with lower status than themselves. They choose the best people to learn from them, hoping to hear the truth!" Before I finished speaking, you changed your expression and left, almost rejecting others. Is this what a person who is good at learning should have (attitude)? The biggest taboo of people who learn is to be satisfied without surpassing themselves. , why don't you correct it? If you don't correct it, when you get older and waste your time, even if you want to correct yourself, it may be too late!" After hearing what he said, Wang Sheng was shocked and (came to his senses) apologized: "I'm really not smart, and now I know you are right. Please allow me to use your words as a motto to show clear warning."

52. Zichan discusses political lenience and fierceness

Zheng Guozi fell ill during childbirth. (He) said to Uncle Zi Tai: "After my death (after), you will definitely be in power. Only people with high moral standards can use generous policies to make the people obey. Secondly, there is no more effective (policy) than harshness. For example, fierce fire, People are afraid of it when they see it, so few die (in it).

Water is soft and weak, and if people get close to it and play with it, many people will die (in it), so it is difficult to implement a lenient policy. "Zi Shi died after being ill for a few months. When Taishu was in power, he could not bear to adopt harsh policies and adopted lenient policies. So many bandits appeared in Zheng State, and they recruited people by the lake. Taishu regretted it. He said, “I would have listened to Master a long time ago, and I would not have reached this point. So he sent infantry to attack the bandits in Fu and killed them all. The bandits were slightly restrained. Confucius said, "Okay!" If the policy is lenient, the people will be negligent. If the people are negligent, harsh policies will be used to correct them. If the policy is strict, the people will be harmed. If the people are harmed, give them a lenient policy. Use generous policies to temper harsh policies, and use harsh policies to supplement generous policies, and political affairs will be harmonious.

53. Liu Chonggui changed his sword

In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Chonggui guarded the South China Sea. A rich businessman parked his boat on the river bank and saw a beautiful woman in a wealthy house on the bank. He did not shy away from people at all, so he teased her and said, "Tonight I will go to your house." The woman listened. , and did not show any embarrassment. At night, the door was opened and waiting for the arrival of the wealthy businessman. Suddenly, a robber broke into the woman's room. The woman thought it was a rich businessman who came, and immediately rushed to greet him happily. The robber thought the woman was coming to arrest him, so he cut the woman's throat with a knife and ran away. The wealthy businessman arrived immediately and slipped in a pool of blood. Hearing the sound of blood flowing from his neck, he realized that someone was lying on the ground. He ran straight back to the boat, untied the rope and escaped overnight. The women's home followed the blood trail to the river bank and filed a complaint with the government. The government sent people to hunt him down, caught the wealthy businessman, threw him in prison, tortured him and interrogated him. The rich businessman confessed all the circumstances, but did not admit that he had killed anyone. Liu Chonggui checked the murder knife left behind by the murderer. It turned out to be a butcher's knife, so he ordered: "There will be a big banquet on a certain day, and all the butchers from all over the country will gather in the stadium to wait for the assignment of killing tasks." Soon after they gathered, they announced their disbandment. , ordered the butchers to leave their butcher knives and come back the next day. After the butchers dispersed, Liu Chonggui asked someone to replace the killing knife with another. The next day, all the butchers claimed their knives and left. Only one stood still and said, "The remaining knife is not my knife." When I asked him whose knife it was, he replied, "It belongs to someone." A man's knife." Liu Chonggui hurriedly ordered people to capture him, but the man had already absconded. So another prisoner who should be executed was pretended to be a wealthy businessman, and he was executed when it was getting dark. The absconding criminal heard the news, returned home, and was immediately captured and executed. A rich businessman committed the crime of entering someone else's house at night and was only sentenced to be beaten with a stick.

54. Fu Rong inspected and left

When Fu Rong of the former Qin Dynasty was the shepherd of Jizhou, an old woman encountered a robber on the road and shouted loudly to catch the thief. A passerby chased after her and caught the thief for her, but the thief falsely accused the passerby of being a thief. It was already dark at that time and it was impossible to identify which of them was the thief, so they had to be sent to the government together. Fu Rong saw it and smiled and said, "This is easy to find out. You can let the two of them run together. The one who ran out of Fengyang Gate first is not the thief." After a while, the two came back, and Fu Rong said sternly The man who ran out of Fengyang Gate later said, "You are a real thief. Why did you wrongly accuse a good person?" The thief then admitted his crime. It turns out that this is because if the thief is good at running, he will never be caught, so he knows that the person who is not good at running is a thief.

To roughly identify the methods of making false accusations, one can only be proficient in it if one has extensive knowledge, profound observation, and is not deceived. Fu Rong examined the race and found out the facts. It can be said that he observed deeply and analyzed clearly.

55. Shen Baoxu is like a beggar from Qin

At first, Wu Yuan and Shen Baoxu were friends. When Wu Yuan fled the state of Wu, he said to Shen Baoxu: "I will definitely overthrow the state of Chu." Shen Baojin said: "Work hard! If you can overthrow it, I will definitely be able to revive it." When King Zhao of Chu arrived, When he was taking refuge with his country, Shen Baoxu went to Qin to ask for troops. He said: "The state of Wu is a big wild boar and a long snake. It has invaded many countries in the Central Plains. The first one to be violated was the state of Chu. Our king Unable to defend his own country, he was exiled in the wild grass and forests. He sent his ministers to ask for help and said: "The greed of the people of Wu cannot be satisfied. If Wu becomes your neighbor, it will cause harm to your border." . While the people of Wu have not conquered Chu, you should seize part of Chu's land. If Chu is destroyed, the other part will be the king's land. They will serve the King from generation to generation.

’” Duke Ai of Qin sent someone to politely decline and said, “I heard your request. You can stay in the hotel for the time being and we will let you know after we have considered it. Shen Baoxu replied: "Our monarch is still living in exile in the wild grass and forests, with no place to stay. How dare I go to a guest house to rest like this?" "Shen Baoxu stood up and cried bitterly against the courtyard wall. He cried day and night and didn't drink a sip of water for seven consecutive days. Qin Aigong wrote the poem "No Clothes" for Shen Baoxu. Shen Baoxu kowtowed nine times in a row. Then he sat down. So Qin sent troops.

56. I heard that a country with a large land has more grain. , The stronger the army, the braver the soldiers. Therefore, Mount Tai does not reject the soil, so it can achieve its height; the rivers, lakes and seas do not reject the small water, so it can achieve its profoundness; the king does not reject his subjects, so he can show his virtue. , the region is not divided into east, west, north and south, and the people, regardless of their own country, are prosperous and happy all year round, and the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth come to bless them with blessings. This is why the five emperors and three kings are incomparable. Now they abandon the people to support the enemy country and refuse guests to visit. In order to achieve the supremacy of other princes, the wise men in the world retreated and did not dare to go west, and stopped and did not dare to enter Qin.
