One afternoon in BC, King Qi Wei and King Wei Hui were hunting in the suburbs. At this relaxed moment, King Wei Hui unexpectedly asked a seemingly easy question: "Does the Qi Kingdom also have a national treasure?"King Qi Wei's answer was unexpected: "No." Faced with the surprise and confusion of King Wei Hui, King Qi Wei explained in a unique way what his national treasure was.
First of all, we must understand that King Qi Wei is not describing simple jewels or wealth, but his four ministers: Tanzi, Panzi, Qianfu, and the Seed Head. What is special about these four ministers is that each of them, with their outstanding talents and wisdom, has brought a profound influence on the Qi state.
With his outstanding military talent and wisdom, Tanzi successfully defended the southern city, so that the Chu State did not dare to attack. His fame spread far and wide, causing the twelve vassal states of the Surabaya Valley to come to congratulate him. Such an achievement undoubtedly demonstrates the strength and majesty of the Qi State.
With his strategy and insight, Panzi guarded the Tang Dynasty, so that the Zhao people were in awe of Qi when they were fishing by the Yellow River. His ingenuity made the Zhao people afraid to go east to the Yellow River to fish, and this achievement demonstrated the geographical superiority and control of the Qi state.
With his shrewd strategy and governance ability, Qianfu guarded Xuzhou. His governance made the Yan people at the north gate and the Zhao people at the west gate to pray for blessings, and there were as many as 7,000 families who came with them. Such a scene undoubtedly shows the prosperity and attractiveness of the Qi country.
In the end, the head of the seed, with his excellent leadership and organizational skills, guarded against thieves, so that the road was not left behind, and there was a peaceful scene. His success demonstrates the stability and security of the Qi country.
For King Qi Wei, these four ministers were his national treasures. They were not just his courtiers, but also his friends, advisers, and companions. Their intelligence and ability allowed the Qi State to maintain a strong position and influence among the complex vassal states.
When King Wei Hui heard this answer, he felt very ashamed. He began to realize that his previous understanding of the national treasure was one-sided and superficial. The national treasures he considered to be those pearls that could be used to illuminate twelve chariots, while the national treasures that King Qi Wei considered were those ministers who could bring prosperity, stability, and influence to the country.
This story provides us with an opportunity to think deeply about the idea of national governance. The two kings' different understandings of national treasures actually reflected their different views on the development of the country. King Wei Hui valued material wealth and external brilliance, while King Qi Wei valued talent and wisdom.
In this story, we see a clash of two different philosophies of national governance. One is the concept of material supremacy, which holds that wealth and material things are the foundation and guarantee of the state;The other is the concept of talent first, believing that talent and wisdom are the key to national development.
However, history tells us that the strength and prosperity of a country does not depend only on its material wealth, but also on its talent reserves and wisdom. A talented minister can have a profound impact on a country, while a country with only wealth can face crises and hardships.
Therefore, we must re-examine our concept of national governance and recognize the importance of talent and wisdom. We must find and develop those who are talented, and provide them with opportunities and platforms where they can use their talents and wisdom to bring greater prosperity and stability to our country.
