I am the King

Zhuge Ling and Prime Minister Wang were arguing about the priority of surnames and clans. Wang asked, "Why don't you say Ge or Wang, but Wang or Ge?" Ling said, "It's like saying donkey or horse, instead of saying horse or donkey. How can a donkey be better than a horse?"

Good morning, Major General.

He Cidao once sent a man from the east and saw Jia Ning in the back wheel. He said, "If this man doesn't die, he will become a distinguished guest of the princes in the end."

The Evil Prince's Poisonous Concubine

Youzi asked Zengzi: "Have you asked about funerals, Master?" He said: "I have heard that funerals want to get poor quickly, and death wants to decay quickly." Youzi said: "This is not what a gentleman says." Zengzi said: "Shen heard it from the Master." Youzi said again: "This is not what a gentleman says." Zengzi said: "Shen and Ziyou heard it." Youzi said: "Yes, then the Master said it for a reason." Zengzi told Ziyou this. Ziyou said, "How wonderful! Youzi's words are similar to yours. Once upon a time, when the Master was living in Song, he saw Sima Huan making a stone coffin for himself, which took three years to complete. The Master said, 'If it is so, then it is better to decay quickly than to die.' The desire to decay quickly was what Sima Huan said. When Nangong Jingshu returned, he would bring treasures with him to the court. The Master said, 'If it is so, then it is better to become poor quickly than to be buried.' The desire to become poor quickly was what Jingshu said." Zengzi told him what Ziyou said. When Youzi was talking to Youzi, Youzi said, "Yes, I have always said that this is not what the Master said." Zengzi said, "How do you know this?" Youzi said, "The Master made a four-inch coffin and a five-inch outer coffin in Zhongdu, so he knew that he did not want to decay quickly. In the past, when the Master lost the position of Sikou of Lu and was about to go to Jing, he first asked Zixia and then Ran You, so he knew that he did not want to become poor quickly."

Officialdom: Rising to Prominence

After Duke Huan abolished Haixi and established Jianwen, the attendant Xie Gong met Duke Huan and paid homage to him. Huan was surprised and laughed, "Anshi, what brings you here?" Xie replied, "I have never seen a king bow before me and a minister stand behind me!"

You can't escape from my hands

The central army of Yin was headed by Yu Gong's chief secretary, who went to the capital and assembled with Prime Minister Wang. Duke Huan, Chief Secretary Wang, Wang Lantian and Xie Zhenxi were also present. The prime minister stood up, took off his tent and tied his fur coat, and said to Yin, "Today I will discuss the principles with you." They talked until three o'clock in the morning. The prime minister and Yin were on the same side, but the rest of the wise men had nothing to do with it. After the discussion, the Prime Minister sighed and said, "I have never known the source of the words I have said before, and the words and phrases are not wrong. The voice of Zhengshi is just right for you!" The next morning, Huan Xuanwu said to others, "I heard Yin and Wang Qing's words last night, which were very good. Injo was not lonely. I was also distracted from time to time. When I looked at the two Wang officials, I felt as happy as a newborn dog."
