Who is the guest of Mao Sui? What stories are there in history?

"Buy silk embroidery for Ping Yuanjun, but pour Zhaozhou soil with wine." The man embroidered on silk is a gentleman of Zhao State and one of the four gentlemen of the Warring States in history. Zhao Sheng was one of the four sons of the Warring States Period, a noble of Zhao State. Son of King Wuling of Zhao, brother of King Huiwen, wife and brother of Xin, son of Wei. Ping Yuanjun, who is famous for his talent. Among many childe, Zhao Sheng is the most wise. He is famous for his wisdom and love for civil servants. At that time, capable people wanted to take refuge in Ping Yuanjun's door, including Mao Sui, who eventually became a civil servant in Ping Yuanjun.

Mao Sui's life story is rare. His most famous story is Mao Sui's Self-recommendation, which is recorded in many historical books. Records of tengxian record: "Mao Sui, Ren Xue also. Buried in Xue after death. " Mao Sui was a Xue Guoren in the Warring States Period. "Self-recommendation is a very famous story in Chinese history. Of course, the protagonist of the story is Mao Sui, and there is another well-known protagonist, that is, Ping Yuanjun Heping Yuanjun. As a customer of Mao Sui, he was fortunate to meet Ping Yuanjun. It is said that there are 3,000 men and women in Ping Yuanjun, each of whom has his own talent or even no talent. As long as Ping Yuanjun looks pleasing to the eye and he finds the bright spot in you, then you can go to him. At first, Mao Sui had no outstanding talents among 3000 people. Until one day, after he got up the courage to state his advantages in front of Ping Yuanjun, Ping Yuanjun actually took him to Chu, successfully persuaded Chu to send troops, and accomplished the task of expressing unity and unity with difficulty. At this point, the reputation is full of princes.

When we look back on the story of volunteering, we will feel that there is nothing special about volunteering. He has more courage than ordinary people. Later generations praised Mao's courage when talking about the story of "Mao Sui recommended himself". In fact, behind his success, he also thanked Ping Yuanjun for his appreciation. If Ping Yuanjun is not a wise host, then he may still be an unknown little guest under his door, and his career will certainly not attract attention.

In the story of "self-recommendation", we found that the techniques used in self-recommendation were not clever. In the ninth year of Zhao Haoqi, that is, in 257 BC, Handan, the capital of Zhao, was surrounded by the powerful Qin army and was in danger. The Prince of Zhao asked Ping Yuanjun to go to the State of Chu and put in a good word in front of the State of Chu, so that the State of Chu could help itself. Before going to Chu, Ping Yuanjun selected one or twenty diners among his public guests. These dining cars are equipped with civilian and military equipment. Originally, they were going to choose twenty, but one person was missing. They are considering who to take. As a result, at this time, they generously stood up. He said he would like to go with him, but Ping Yuanjun seemed afraid to take him because he hardly knew the man.

So Ping Yuanjun said, "A wise man's position in the world is like a cone in a bag, but he can't see its end. Mr. Jin has been under the door of victory for three years. There is nothing to say or hear about victory, but Mr. Jin has nothing. Sir, no, sir, stay! " I have been under my door for so long that I have never heard of the name Mr. Wang. If Mr. Wang was really talented and knowledgeable, he would have been sharp-edged. Why should he be unknown for three years and not be reused? Although Mao Sui knew that Ping Yuanjun would definitely deny himself, he summoned up his courage and said to Ping Yuanjun, "Today I ask you to deal with this matter! What makes the flea stand out from the crowd is that it is not the last thing to see. " If you put him in a cloth bag, he will stand out early. Where did you show the tip of the cone just now? In a word, Mao Sui moved Ping Yuanjun.

Mao Sui really didn't let Ping Yuanjun down. When he came to Chu, he took the initiative to discuss the pros and cons with the king of Chu and seized every opportunity to promote the cooperation between Chu and Zhao. His outstanding performance made Ping Yuanjun sit up and take notice. He never dared to identify talents again. Speaking of it, he has raised 3 thousand people, but he doesn't even have the ability to know people. It's really embarrassing. He also praised Mao Sui for "a three-inch golden tongue is better than a million teachers" and worshipped Mao Sui as a guest of honor.
