The Bandit in the House

Emperor Wu said to He Qiao, "I want to scold Wang Wuzi first, and then give him a title." Qiao said, "Wuzi is handsome and straightforward, I am afraid he cannot be subdued." The emperor then summoned Wuzi and scolded him severely, then asked, "Do you feel ashamed?" Wuzi said, "The rumor of 'a foot of cloth and a bucket of millet' has always been shameful to Your Majesty! Others can make people alienate relatives, but I cannot make people alienate relatives, so I feel ashamed of Your Majesty."

Muslim funeral

The prefect of Yingchuan was named Chen Zhonggong. A guest asked Yuan Fang, "What do you think of the governor?" Yuan Fang said, "He is a wise ruler." "What do you think of your master?" He said, "He is a loyal minister and a filial son." The guest said, "The Book of Changes says, 'Two people of one mind can cut through metal; words of one mind are as fragrant as orchids.' How could a wise ruler punish a loyal minister and a filial son?" Yuan Fang said, "What you said is so absurd! So I won't answer you." The guest said, "You are just trying to be respectful so I can't answer you." Yuan Fang said, "In the past, Emperor Gaozong exiled the filial son Xiaoji, Yin Jifu exiled the filial son Boqi, and Dong Zhongshu exiled the filial son Fuqi. Only these three rulers were wise rulers, and only these three sons were loyal ministers and filial sons." The guest left in shame.

Wife, please be responsible for me

Yuan Hu was poor when he was young and once worked as a servant carrying rent for others. Xie Zhenxi was traveling by boat. That night the wind was clear and the moon was bright. He heard the sound of passengers reciting poems on a boat on the river bank, which was quite sentimental. The five-character verse he recited was something he had never heard before, and he could not stop admiring it. He immediately sent someone to interrogate him in detail, and it turned out that it was Yuan himself who was reciting the historical poem he had written. Therefore, they wanted each other and were greatly appreciated.

Sun Xinggong served as a military officer of Yu Gong, and together they traveled to Baishishan. The Lord of Wei was present at the meeting. Sun said, "This boy has nothing to do with mountains and rivers, yet he can write essays." Lord Yu said, "Although the elegance of Wei is not as good as yours, his charm is not close either." Sun then followed his words.

Jingmu Xiyan

Yuan Yue is eloquent, good at speaking both long and short sentences, and also has precise logic. He first served as a military officer under Xie Xuan and was treated with great courtesy. After Ding Jian died, he returned to the capital after his mourning period, and only supported the Warring States Policy. He said to people, "When I was young, I read the Analects of Confucius and Laozi, and also read Zhuangzi and Yi Jing. These are all painful things. What good can they do? The most important thing in the world is the Strategies of the Warring States." After he went down, he persuaded King Sima Xiaowen, who treated him very well and almost disrupted his plans. Soon he was executed.
