Ladies and gentlemen, let's tell you an interesting story about the Han Dynasty, the protagonists are the extremely smart Dongfang Shuo and our wise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If you want to say that this Dongfang Shuo is tall, and his knowledge is even more unfathomable, but what about this treatment, it is similar to that of the grooms, don't you say this is aggrieved?

One day, Dongfang Shuo had nothing to do, and wandered into the imperial stable, where he saw the horsemen feeding the horses. He had an idea, thought about it, and thought of a way to tidy up these grooms, and by the way, let Emperor Wu of Han see his intelligence.

He crept up to the grooms, and said mysteriously, "I have heard! The emperor has to make a decree to expel all those who are less than three feet tall from the palace, and you horsemen will be unlucky! When the horsemen heard this, their faces turned white with fright, and they hurriedly begged Dongfang Shuo for an idea.

Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic, don't panic, I have a way." When the emperor came to see the horse, you knelt in front of him and wept, and the more sad you wept, the better. Although the horsemen didn't understand Dongfang Shuo's intentions, they had no choice but to do it.

Not long after, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really came to the imperial stable. As soon as the horsemen saw Emperor Wu of Han, they immediately knelt on the ground and began to cry. Emperor Wu of Han thought it was strange, so he asked them why they were crying. The grooms did as Dongfang Shuo commanded, crying about their tragic fate of being driven out of the palace. When Emperor Wu of Han heard this, he thought to himself, what is going on? immediately ordered Dongfang Shuo to be called to ask for clarification.

When Dongfang Shuo saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was not in a hurry, but said calmly: "Your Majesty, the reason why those horsemen are suffering is not because they want to be driven out of the palace, but because they feel that they are treated unfairly. Although their status is low, their monthly income is enough to live. As for me, as an official of the imperial court, it is difficult to maintain even basic life. If Your Majesty thinks that I am useful, please treat me accordingly; If you think I'm useless, then please allow me to resign and go home. ”

After listening to Dongfang Shuo's words, Emperor Wu of Han laughed. He felt that this Dongfang Shuo was not only bold and witty, but also dared to speak out, and was a rare talent. So he ordered Dongfang Shuo's treatment to be raised, so that he would have more opportunities to show his talents.

Since then, Dongfang Shuo's status in the palace has risen, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has appreciated and reused him more and more. And Dongfang Shuo, he also used his wisdom and talent to improve his own treatment, judges, do you say that this Dongfang Shuo is extremely smart? With his wisdom and courage, he succeeded in changing his fate. This also tells us that in the face of difficulties, we must have the courage to think, dare to act, and use our wisdom and strength to create a better future.
