In 370 BC, King Su of Chu died, and his son ascended the throne as King Xuan of Chu. King Xuan of Chu held an enthronement ceremony in 369 BC. And King Wei Hui of Wei on the Wei side also held an enthronement ceremony in 369 BC.
King Wei Hui wanted to have a relationship with King Xuan of Chu, so he sent Jiang Yi as an envoy to Chu.
Jiang Yi, also known as Jiang Yi, was originally a *** of the Wei State, he visited the Chu State as an envoy of the Wei State, and stayed in the Chu State as an official after the envoy of the Chu State, and became the favorite minister of the King of Chu. There is a decree in the state of Chu called Zhao Xixi, the position is equivalent to the later prime minister, Jiang Yi, who served in the state of Chu, has always regarded Zhao Xixian as an enemy, and as long as there is an opportunity, he will say bad things about Zhao Xixi.
At first, when I first started to send an envoy to the state of Chu, after meeting King Xuan of Chu, I asked him: "Those of us who are envoys pay attention to following the customs of the locals, so whenever I go to a place, I will inquire about any special customs in the local area." This time I came to Chu State, I inquired about people when I first entered the country, and I heard that Chu State also has a relatively special custom, that is, he likes to spare no effort to promote the good things of others, and he can't mention the bad things of others, is there really such a thing? ”
King Chu Xuan said: "Yes, we have this habit. ”
Jiang Yi said: "Then it's no wonder, no wonder Bai Gongsheng made a mess at the beginning, and he almost succeeded." I see, if this custom of Chu State continues like this, you will not want to punish the guilty courtiers in the future. ”
Bai Gongsheng is the grandson of King Chuping, because he was framed, he fled from Chu State, and later returned to Chu State, but in the end he was still unhappy, rebelled, launched a rebellion, and after killing his son Chu State Minister, he imprisoned King Chu Hui and established himself as the King of Chu. Soon he was defeated by the people in the Chu State. Bai Gongsheng was defeated and hanged himself, and King Chu Hui was restored to the throne.
King Chu Xuan didn't understand what Jiang Yi said, he asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" ”
Jiang Yi sneered and said: "Your good prime minister, Hou Zhaoxi, relying on his high status and the power of the country in his own hands, what good things can't be done?" But because of this custom of only saying good things and not saying bad things, the people around you whisper in your ears every day: 'How beautiful the country of Chu is, how harmonious the country of Chu is, there is no dark side of society at all', and they are as neat as a person. ”
King Chu Xuan said: "The situation in our country is very good. And it's getting better and better, unlike some countries that call their neighbors all over the ground looking for teeth. ”
Jiang Yi heard it, this guy is really confused, he only looks at the dark side of Wei State, and he only looks at the bright side when he looks at himself, what kind of person!
Later, on different occasions, Jiang Yi only seized the opportunity to say some bad things about Zhao Xi.
Once in the court, King Chu Xuan asked the ministers such a question: "I heard that the northerners are afraid of Zhao Xixi, is there really such a thing?" What is it that scares them? None of the ministers answered the King of Chu's question, and Jiang Yi heard that the opportunity had come, so he took the opportunity to tell a story to the King of Chu. He said: "The tiger is the king of beasts, and it lives by catching beasts for food.
Once he caught a fox, and when he opened his mouth to eat the fox, the fox said to him, 'How dare you eat me?' I am appointed by the Emperor of Heaven to be the king of beasts, and if you want to eat me, you will violate the orders of the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor will severely punish you. If you don't believe me, you can follow me for a walk, I'll be in front, and you'll show you if all the beasts have seen me, and if they dare not flee at once, they will stay. When the tiger heard the fox's words, he was skeptical, and wanted to try it, so he followed the fox and went out. The fox walked in front, the tiger followed closely behind, and the animals fled in all directions when they saw the tiger coming.
When the tiger saw the panicked appearance of the animals, he really thought that he was afraid of the fox! Jiang Yi finished telling this story, and then said to King Chu Xuan: "The king asked the northerners today if they are afraid of Zhao Xixi, and I also heard that the northerners are afraid of Zhao Xixi. Now the king's land is more than 5,000 miles in circumference, with millions of soldiers, many generals, and invincible, but Zhao Xixian is in charge of military power. Therefore, the northern princes are not afraid of Zhao Xixi, but the army of the king, just like animals are afraid of tigers!
Seeing this, all the officials will understand how powerful Jiang Yi is, and the well-known story of "Fox Fake Tiger Might" was actually made up by him. Jiang Yi told the story of "Fox Fake Tiger Might", in order to not only hit Zhao Xixian, but also to praise King Chu Xuan, and his real purpose was to sow discord between King Chu Xuan and Zhao Xixian, so that King Chu would alienate Zhao Xixian.
What kind of person is King Chu Xuan?
King Chu Xuan loves to engage in homosexuality, has a very beautiful little handsome guy, and is favored by King Chu Xuan, not only has he become King Chu Xuan's "three escort" brother, but also discusses national affairs with him.
Jiang Yi did not want to return to Wei, so he stayed in Chu to work. King Chu Xuan arranged for him to serve that beautiful little handsome guy.
One day, Jiang Yi stood at the window of the little handsome guy and sighed, and he couldn't concentrate on reading, so he had to summon Jiang Yi in and ask him, "Why is Mr. sighing?" ”
Jiang Yi sighed deeply and said: "Lord, you are in trouble now, and once you are in danger, how can our guests be spared, how can I not sigh?" ”
The little handsome guy was very angry and asked: "Now that I am deeply favored by the king, I am a national-level beautiful male star, no one can compare with me in terms of talent and life experience, external and internal, why is it difficult?" ”
Jiang Yi replied disappreciatively: "Sir, you see that you have never made a little bit of military exploits, and you have no blood relationship with the king, but you hold such a high position and get such a high salary. There are so many fans across the country, and when they see you, they have to tidy up their clothes and bow down to you respectfully. Tell me why? ”
The little handsome guy thought for a while and said, "Ahem, it's actually because the King of Chu thinks I'm beautiful, so he promoted me, otherwise I'd come to such a high status." ”
Jiang Yi Zhengse said: "Sir, you must know that the friends you make because of money and things, when you don't have money, your friendship will come to an end." And the people who befriend you because you love your looks, when you grow old and your appearance fades, it will naturally fade Aiways.
So, you see that the quilt on the bed of the favored concubine has not yet been broken, and the person who loves her has already empathized with her; The carriage of the favored minister has been deposed before it is broken. Now because you are favored by the King of Chu, you have the power of the world, but in fact, you don't have anything that can hold the love of the King of Chu, so I am secretly really worried about you, sir. ”
After hearing this, the little handsome guy was empowered, and immediately knelt down and asked Jiang Yi to show him a clear path. Jiang Yi mysteriously lowered his voice and said, "Hehe, sir, come over with your ears, I will listen to you." ”
Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the little handsome guy listened to Jiang Yi's words, but he didn't make any moves. Jiang Yi was a little anxious, and sighed under the little handsome guy's window again, but this time the little handsome guy didn't summon him in to ask for advice. So Jiang Yi couldn't help but break into the house and said to the little handsome guy: "Why haven't you implemented the advice I gave you three years ago?" The handsome little guy rubbed his hands and replied helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to implement it, I really don't have a chance!" ”
But just a few days later, King Chu Xuan was going out to hunt, and the king went out, of course, the momentum was extraordinary. The ministers embraced King Xuan for a safari, and when they were rising, a bison rushed out like crazy and rushed to King Xuan of Chu. King Chu Xuan unhurriedly shot an arrow with a bow and sealed his throat with an arrow. King Chu Xuan looked up to the sky and laughed proudly: "Hahahahahaha, I'm so happy today, I'm too awesome, but after a hundred years, who can I enjoy this happiness with?" ”
At this time, the handsome little guy secretly smeared some chili noodles on his eyes, and suddenly burst into tears, knelt down in front of King Chu Xuan, and cried and said: "King, because of your favor, when I was in the palace, I slept in a bed with you, ate at the same table with you, came out to play and rode in the same car, you are so good to me, then after you live forever, I will also go with you, under you, to block the erosion of ants for you." There's nothing happier for me. Whining. ”
Guess which one is An Lingjun.
After hearing this, King Chu Xuan was overjoyed and named him An Lingjun.
Someone commented after hearing about this: "Jiang Yi is good at planning, and An Ling Jun knows the time." It means to say: "Jiang Yi is really good at coming up with ideas, and An Lingjun is really good at seizing opportunities." ”
Yes, you have to take a chance. Every day in the ears of the leader *** hippie smile, maybe the leader will be annoyed one day, and it is inevitable that there will be a time when the hooves will be stumbled, in case the horse's feet are slapped on the horse's feet. Good steel should be used on the blade, and the same is true for whiskers and horses, only when the critical time is to pat the right horse's ass, you will get greater benefits, so you should have patience to wait for the opportunity to pat the horse's ass, even if this opportunity will make you wait for three years or even longer!
King Qi Wei sent Chun Yu to envoy to the state of Chu and specially brought a hoof as a gift to King Xuan of Chu. Who knew that when he came, Chun Yuji had just come out of the Linzi City Gate, and the hooves flew away.
Chun Yuyu held the empty birdcage and came to meet the king of Chu Xuan, saying: "The king of Qi sent me to offer a bird to the king, I passed by the water, and I couldn't bear the hunger and thirst of the bird, so I let it out to drink water, but who knew that it left me and flew away." I wanted to commit suicide by stabbing my abdomen or strangling my neck, and I was afraid that others would criticize the king, and that the scholars would commit suicide because of the birds and beasts. The hoofs are feathered things, there are many similarities, and I want to buy a similar bird instead, but this is a deception king, and I don't want to do it. wanted to flee to other countries, and was saddened by the fact that the envoys between the monarchs of Qi and Chu were cut off. Therefore he came to confess his sins, and prostrated to the king, and asked for punishment. ”
This is a very clever statement. "If you can't bear the hunger and thirst of the hoof, let it come out to drink water", indicating the benevolence of the pure body; "I want to stab my abdomen and hang my neck and commit suicide", which shows Chun Yu's bravery; "Worried about others criticizing the King of Chu" shows Chun Yu's loyalty; "I don't want to buy another similar bird instead", explains Chun Yu's letter; "It is sad that the envoys between Qi and Chu have been severed", which explains the righteousness of Chun Yuyu; "Confessing to the crime" and "receiving punishment" show the sincerity of Chun Yu. If benevolence, courage, loyalty, faithfulness, righteousness, and sincerity are possessed, who will punish him?
As a result, King Chu Xuan not only did not blame Chun Yuji, but praised it: "Very good, King Qi has such a faithful person." "And he rewarded Chun Yu with a generous gift, and the reward was twice as much as the offering of the hoof.
