Guan Zhong distinguishes between public and private affairs

Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya are life and death acquaintance. Once, Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong discussed the issue of the next prime minister. Duke Huan of Qi asked: If you die, who should take over as your prime minister? Guan Zhong named a person, and Duke Huan of Qi asked: "What about the second candidate?" Guan Zhong named another person, and Duke Huan of Qi asked: "What about the third person?" Guan Zhong named another person. Duke Huan of Qi asked again unhappily: So where is the fourth candidate? Guan Zhong said: That is Bao Shuya! Duke Huan of Qi said: I am really surprised that Bao Shuya is so kind to you. I heard that he always gave in to you when you did business together. When you assisted Young Master Jiu, you even shot me with an arrow. If Bao Shuya hadn't interceded, I killed you a long time ago, and then Bao Shuya actively recommended you as the Prime Minister in front of me. Why is it that when I ask you to recommend the candidate for the next Prime Minister, you actually put Bao Shuya as the fourth candidate? Are you worthy of Bao Shuya? Guan Zhong said: We are now talking about who is the most suitable person to be the next Prime Minister. You did not ask who is my most grateful and best friend! Our personal relationship is very good, but national interests are above all else!

Ji Qiao will not destroy the rural school

Ji Qiao's courtesy name is Zichan. Zheng people went to the township school for a leisure gathering to discuss the quality of the rulers' administrative measures. Ran Ming, the official of the State of Zheng, said to Zichan: "How about destroying the rural school?" Zichan said: "Why destroy it? People come back here after work in the morning and evening to discuss the quality of administrative measures. If they like it, we will implement it; if they hate it, we will correct it. This is our teacher. Why should we destroy it? I have heard that doing good things will reduce resentment, but I have never heard of relying on power to prevent resentment. Isn't it easy to stop these discussions quickly? However, doing so is like blocking a river: the damage caused by a big burst in the river will inevitably hurt many people, and I can't save it; instead of opening a small opening to divert the flow, it is better for us to listen to these comments. Later, he used it as a good medicine to cure his illness. "Ran Ming said: "From now on, I know that you can really achieve great things. If you do this, I am afraid that Zheng Guo will really have support. It’s good for us ministers!”

Li Kui shot an arrow to settle the lawsuit

Li Kui once served as the governor of Shangdi County in Wei State. The west of Shangdi County is adjacent to Qin. It is an important border defense area of ??Wei State and often has military conflicts with Qin State. In order to improve the archery skills of the soldiers and civilians of Shangdi County, he ordered archery to be used to decide the merits of lawsuits. "The one who hits the target wins, and the one who fails to hit the target loses."

After the order was issued, people rushed to practice shooting skills day and night. Later, he fought with the Qin people and defeated the Qin army due to the excellent shooting skills of the Wei army. The level of archery skills cannot be equated with the merits of right and wrong. The lawsuits Li Kui used to decide the merits may be ordinary lawsuits that were long-delayed or insignificant. In the areas bordering the powerful Qin during the Warring States Period, military affairs were the overriding task. Li Kui used this method to encourage people to learn military technology and achieved very good results. It cannot but be said to be a creation. Probably because of his good political performance in Shangdi County, Wei Wenhou appointed him as prime minister and supported his reforms.

Shang Yang moved to Mu Lixin

After Shang Yang formulated the reform plan, he was afraid that the new law would not have prestige and the people would not believe it and would not be implemented, so he thought of a way. He asked someone to erect a three-foot-long log at the south gate of the capital, and posted a notice next to it saying: "Whoever can carry this log to the north gate will be rewarded ten gold pieces." After a while, The wood was surrounded by people.

Everyone murmured in their hearts: This piece of wood weighs hundreds of kilograms, and it is not difficult to carry it for several miles. Why do you give it so much gold? Maybe there was a trap set? As a result, no one dared to carry it. Seeing that there was no one to carry it, Wei Yang raised the reward to fifty gold pieces. As a result, people became even more confused, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the newly appointed Zuo Shuchang was selling in his gourd. At this time, a strong man separated from the crowd, stepped forward, and said, "I'll give it a try." He picked up the wood and left. Many people watching the excitement followed curiously until they reached the north gate. I saw the newly appointed Chief Zuo waiting there. He praised the big man and said: "Well, you can trust and carry out my orders. You are really a good citizen." Then he gave him the fifty gold medal he had prepared. This matter spread quickly, and everyone said: "Chief Zuo means what he says, and he does what he says. His orders are not just casual!" private. "The way of heaven is selfless, and it is always upright; the way of heaven is always upright, and it is clear." It is believed that the monarch should not only master the "skill" of controlling his ministers, but also be upright and selfless, so that his ministers can be loyal to their duties. He once said to Han Zhaohou: "The Dharma is rewarded when he sees his merits, and he is given an official position because of his ability. Now you have to make plans and ask for orders, so it is difficult." However, "Warring States Policy" records such a story. Incident: Shen Buhe privately asked Han Zhaohou to grant an official position to his cousin. Han Zhaohou did not agree, and Shen Buhe showed resentment on his face. Han Zhaohou said: "This is the strategy of governing the country I learned from you! You often teach me that people should be awarded official positions according to their merits. Now you are asking for the title of officials for your brothers who have not established merits. I agree to your request and abandon it." What about your doctrine? Or should I pursue your ideas and reject your request?" Shen Buhai hurriedly apologized and said to Han Zhaohou: "The king is really a wise king. Please punish me!" He said to Shen Buhai, "Please serve me! Historians have always criticized the matter of "Brother Official", some saying it was hypocritical and speculative; others saying it was not resolute in promoting "rule of law". However, looking at Shen Buha's emphasis on "technique" and the complex social background at that time, It is better to say that this was his test of Han Zhaohou. It was Han Zhaohou's stern attitude towards "seeking officials for personal gain" that made Shen Buhe see that Han Zhaohou was really a wise and accomplished monarch, thus strengthening his determination to help him reform. .

Shen Dao was chasing the rabbit

Shen Dao once wrote such a short story: There was a rabbit running in the field, and hundreds of people were chasing it. It was not a rabbit. The rabbit can be distributed to a hundred people, but the reason is that the ownership has not been determined. If the ownership is not determined, even a holy king like Tang Yao can't solve it, let alone the ordinary people?

Groups of rabbits pile up in the market, and passers-by don’t even look at them. This is not because people are unwilling to get rabbits, but because these rabbits already have owners. The ownership has been determined, and some people will no longer argue despite their rough character.

So ruling the world and the country is just a matter of naming.

Li Si burned books to trap Confucians

In the thirty-fourth year of Qin Shihuang (213 BC), Qin Shihuang was greatly dissatisfied with the remarks of the Confucian scholar Dr. Chun Yuyue. Li Si blamed it on studying and suggested that Qin Shihuang order the burning of books. According to the law formulated by Li Si, it is quite cruel.

All historical books other than Qin Ji, poems, books, and hundreds of languages ????that are not collected by doctors (referring to officials in charge of ancient and modern literature and history) must be burned, and only books on medicine, divination, and tree planting are allowed to be left. From now on, if anyone dares to talk about poetry and books, he will "abandon the market" (referring to executions in downtown areas and exposing the corpses to the streets, which is called abandoning the market); All are punished and called clan)"; if an official knows about it and does not report it, he will be guilty of the same crime; if he still does not burn it thirty days after the order is issued, he will be tattooed (meaning to use a knife to carve his forehead, cheeks, etc.) and then scribble it with ink. "Chengdan" (a kind of punishment, four years of losing the power to build the Great Wall). Anyone who wants to learn the law should take officials as his teachers.

The reason for burning books this time was due to the discussion of whether to enfeoff. Whether the ministers advocated or opposed enfeoffment, they were all for the long-term rule of Qin Shihuang. They have no fundamental opposition in interests. Li Si took advantage of the topic and ended up burning the book.

Han Feizi got into trouble because of his talent. Han Feizi was a royal family in South Korea in the late Warring States Period. He stuttered and was not good at words but was good at writing books. He successively wrote "Gu Anger", "Five Worms", "Speaking of Difficulties" and so on. His book spread to the Qin State. The King of Qin liked it very much and said, "If I could see this man and associate with him, I would die without regrets." Soon, because Qin attacked Han, the King of Han had to appoint Han Fei. And sent him as envoy to Qin. King Qin likes Han Fei very much, but has not yet decided whether to keep him. Li Si knew that Han Fei was more capable than him, and was afraid that the King of Qin would reuse him, which would be detrimental to his future, so he spoke ill of Han Fei to the King of Qin. He said: "Han Fei is a kinsman of King Han. The king wants to destroy all countries. Han Fei loves Han but not Qin. This is human nature. If the king decides not to use Han Fei and lets him go, it will be detrimental to us. It is better to put him away." Kill him." King Qin believed Li Si's words and arrested Han Fei. According to the provisions of Qin's laws, prisoners in prison have no right to petition for defence. After Han Fei arrived in Qin, he offended Yao Jia again. Yao Jia made great contributions to the Qin State and was highly valued by the King of Qin, and was appointed as Shangqing. However, Han Fei told the King of Qin that Yao Jia was not of noble origin and had been a big thief. He was driven away when he was an official in Zhao State. He thought it was inappropriate to use such a person, which disappointed the King of Qin. Afterwards, King Qin asked Yao Jia about Han Fei. Of course, Yao Jia would not speak well of Han Fei. With the collusion of Li Si and Yao Jia, Han Fei had no choice but to take the poison sent by Li Si and commit suicide. Wu Qi governed the army strictly. When Wu Qi was a general, he shared the same clothes and food with the lowest-ranking soldiers. He did not lay out mats when sleeping, did not ride horses or carriages when marching, carried dry food himself, and shared the labor with the soldiers. When a soldier suffered a sore, Wu Qi sucked the pus for him with his mouth. The soldier's mother burst into tears when she found out about this. Others said: "Your son is a soldier, and the general personally sucked the pus from his sores. Why are you still crying?" The mother said, "That's not the case. In the past, Duke Wu sucked the pus from his father's sores. His father During the battle, he fought with all his strength, so he died in the battle. Now Wu Gong sucked the pus from my son's sores, and I didn't know where he was going to die again, so I cried. (Editor of this edition? Yueyue)
