beautiful story
Han Zhaohou got drunk one night and fell asleep. The person in charge of the crown was afraid that the Lord would catch a cold, so he took a piece of clothing to cover Zhaohou.Later, when Zhaohou woke up, he was very happy with his subordinates' intentions, so he asked his left and right: "Who covered me?"

Someone said: "He who bears the crown."

Zhaohou not only did not reward the person in charge of the crown, but also punished him and the person in charge of the clothes.

Another time, when Zhaohou went hunting, the warp rope of the carriage became loose, and someone in the carriage reminded him, "The warp rope is loose."

The horse driver also said, "It seems to be loose."

Tightening the warp rope was supposed to be the job of the horse chaser, but when they arrived at the hunting ground, the escort of the carriage took advantage of Zhaohou's hunting opportunity to readjust the warp rope.

When Zhaohou finished hunting and set foot on his way back to the king, he found that the warp rope had been adjusted, so he asked, "Who adjusted the warp rope?" "

The accompanying person said, "It's me."

After Zhaohou returned, he punished those who accompanied him.

He said: "No matter how small it is, you must strictly abide by your job position; no matter how small it is, if it is your own job, you must not let others intervene; even if you do the right thing, you must not do it for you."

Eloquence
The horse should also be photographed just right, instead of being thankless and indiscriminate.

Zhaohou's handling is correct.Flattering is too obvious and not good, so don't express yourself all the time, go beyond the scope of your duties, and do what others "should" do. This method will not have obvious effects, and it will also make "should" "Does the guy think you're taking his chances?
It should be remembered not to do thankless things.

I never thought that such nasty swear words would come from the mouths of what I always thought were better students. Teacher Mao paused for a while and then said, "If I am really wrong, I am willing to correct it. I hope you can point it out for the teacher, okay?" "

The teacher's tone is kind and full of sincerity.Huiqin lowered her head slowly, without saying a word.Teacher Mao said: "You have also seen the situation in the class these days. Everyone is waiting for the teacher to deal with you severely."

Huiqin looked up at the teacher in horror.Teacher Mao said: "However, the teacher didn't think of giving you any punishment at all, but felt sad and sad for your mistakes! Because you, a student with excellent grades in the past, the teacher once placed great hopes on you. You regret it, and also deeply feel that I have not fulfilled my responsibility to help and educate you..."

3.Lord Anling's Loyalty

wonderful moment

Lord Anling hurriedly asked to stay, saying: "How dare I forget my master's teaching, it's just that there is no suitable opportunity for the time being."

beautiful story
Jiang Yi once persuaded Lord Anling to show his loyalty to the King of Chu, but Lord Anling only said at that time: "I would like to follow my master's opinion." He never said loyalty.

But after another three years, Lord Anling still did not mention this sentence to the King of Chu.For this reason, Jiang Yi went to see Lord Anling again:
"You still don't say what I said to you. Since you don't use my tricks, I dare not see you again."

Say goodbye.Lord Anling hurriedly asked to stay, saying:

"How dare I forget my teacher's teachings, it's just that I haven't had the right opportunity yet."

After another few months, the time finally came.At that time, the king of Chu went to Yunchu to hunt. More than 1000 horse-drawn carriages rushed one after another.

At this time, a furious bison came along the track of the wheel. The king of Chu drew a bow and shot an arrow, and the arrow hit the bull's head and shot the bison to death.The officials and guards cheered thunderously and praised in unison.The King of Chu took out the flag with the yak tail, pressed the head of the ox with the flagpole, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly:

"Happy! Today's hunting, how happy I am! After I live forever, who of you can share today's happiness with me?"

At this time, Lord Anling came forward with tears streaming down his face and said:
"As soon as I enter the palace, I will share the seat with the king, and after I leave the palace, I will share the same car with the king. If after the king lives forever, I hope to go to the underworld with the king, and become a reed for the king to stop the ants, that is my biggest an honor."

Hearing this, the King of Chu was deeply moved, and officially set up an altar to enshrine him as Lord Anling, who has since become the King of Chu's favorite.

Eloquence
Jiang Yi is good at planning, and Lord Anling is good at waiting for the opportunity to speak faithfully.What makes Mr. An Ling superior in telling the truth is that he is patient enough to wait for the opportunity.Waiting for the opportunity is by no means the same as sitting idly by.

"Huainanzi Daoying" says: "Those who are in trouble will move according to the situation, and changes are born in time, so those who know the time can't do things forever."

So Lord Anling took the opportunity to show his loyalty and won the favor and trust of King Chu.

4.Three sentences that jerk people to tears

Writer Li Zhun has a conceited and catchy saying: "I don't have a few tricks, it's rare to be a writer! My housekeeping skills are: three sentences make people cry, three minutes of drama, put readers' hearts in I rubbed my palms together to make him smile with tears in his eyes!" The words spread, making people dissatisfied.

At the "Chang Xiangyu [-]th Anniversary Celebration of Stage Career", celebrities from the literary and art circles came to congratulate her.Xie Tian, ​​a film director who specializes in gags, grabbed Li Zhun and said, "Li Zhun, I want to try you in public! You can make Chang Xiangyu cry with just three words, and I will convince you!"

Li Zhun frowned, looked at the crowd, and said to Chang Xiangyu in embarrassment: "Xiangyu, look at Lao Xie! Today is your day of great joy, and he just made you cry. Isn't that embarrassing?"

Chang Xiangyu said: "You can make me cry today, you are really capable!"

Xie Tian said: "Or sign and admit defeat!"

Li Zhun still said in embarrassment: "Xiangyu, it's not easy for us to have what we are today! Speaking of which, you are still my savior! When I was ten years old, I saw the refugees fleeing famine arrived in Xi'an, and I saw that people were dying. I was about to die of starvation, when suddenly someone shouted: "Singer Jia Chang Xiangyu has served dinner, everyone in Henan should go eat it! Wow - people flocked all of a sudden! I held the porridge, and tears flowed to my heart. I think, see you later." I kowtowed to this savior! How could I have imagined that during the "Cultural Revolution", you would be dragged through the streets in a big truck and let you "fly"! I stood aside, crying again in my heart, I really wanted to say something , let me take her place, she is my savior—"

"Old Li! You...don't say anything!"

Chang Xiangyu suddenly interrupted Li Zhun, covered her face, turned around, tears rolled down her face, and wet her handkerchief.

There was no sound in the hall.Everyone looked at Li Zhun, immersed in the story he was telling, forgetting that they were betting here, even Xie Tian took a breath...

The key to Li Zhun's ability to cry for Chang Xiangyu is to grasp the two extremes of one joy and one sorrow and the emotional resonance effect produced by the sharp contrast formed therefrom. The directly stimulating "tears flow to the heart" and " My heart is crying again" played a role in fueling the flames.The unbearable past, the miserable experience, and the sincere feelings made Chang Xiangyu burst into tears?Li Zhun's highly emotional description of Chang Xiangyu's unique psychological experience has a great appeal, and he is really worthy of his conceited and captivating punch line!

"Liu Bang, the widow has ordered you to go to Nanzheng, are you willing to go?"

Liu Bang replied:

"The minister eats the king's salary, and the life hangs on the son. The minister is like your majesty's mount. The whip will go, and the bridle will stop. The minister obeys." When Xiang Yu heard this, he had no choice but to say:

"Liu Bang, you have to listen to me, and you don't want to go to Nanzheng."

Liu Bang said:
"The minister obeys the order."

Eloquence
Liu Bang's language, avoiding the premise of Xiang Yu's questioning, deliberately said that he was loyal to Xiang Yu and "obeyed his orders", so that Xiang Yu could not find an excuse to kill himself.

Kang Wangjieshu, commander of the Qing army who was fighting against the rebels in Fujian at that time, wanted to send troops to attack by force.At this time, Wu Xing, a subordinate of King Kang, came out against sending troops to suppress and advocated appeasement.This man was well-informed and eloquent, and he was trusted by King Kang. King Kang also considered the lack of troops, so he adopted Wu Xingzuo's opinion and sent Wu to the rebel camp to appease Han Daren.

Wu Xingzuo brought a few entourages and rushed to the rebel camp.As soon as he saw Han Daren, he burst into tears, confused Han Daren, and asked why.Wu Xingzuo said sadly: "I'm here this time to mourn you, how can I not cry?" Han Daren hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by that?".Xing Zuo replied calmly: "General, the reason why you are so powerful in the world is because the King of Wu (referring to Wu Sangui) attaches great importance to you. Now the King of Wu has entrusted you with the military power, and I firmly believe that you are really counting on you to make contributions. Occupy the world, but you haven't done anything for a few years, and you have suffered heavy losses. Can King Wu still value you now! Now you are taking the risk to attack Tingzhou, but the defenders of Tingzhou have already stood up. Can you win by attacking an elite army? If you lose the battle, can the King of Wu forgive you? That’s why I said that the general’s death is approaching, so I came here to express my condolences.” Listening to Wu Xingzuo’s words, Han Daren bowed his head and remained silent for a moment , Han Daren asked Wu Xingzuo: "What do you think of me submitting to King Kang?"

If the general can abandon the secret and surrender to the country , it should be an excellent opportunity to make contributions.” Some words finally convinced Han Daren, who led tens of thousands of rebels to join the imperial court.

Eloquence
There is no doubt that the two armies confronted each other without success, and Wu Xing's move to persuade him to surrender was scheming, playing Han Daren in the palm of his hand.First, use body language to wail and cry, create a topic, and then extend the topic to analyze Han Daren's current situation: Wu Wang's esteem has prevailed in the world, but Wu Wang's expectations have not been realized, and he attacked the elite army with exhausted troops The move of stationing in Tingzhou is very likely to be defeated; at that time, can't retreat be forgiven by King Wu, and advance can't be forgiven by the Qing government?Therefore, "the general's death is approaching, so I came here to express condolences in advance."Anyone who doesn't think about their own safety and even their future, plus the fact that Jiu Jiu Wufu doesn't have any integrity problems, Wu Xingzuo's lobbying will be successful immediately.

During the period of the Republic of China, Gu Zhenggang, a bureaucrat of the Kuomintang, cried bitterly for Chiang Kai-shek's resignation in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.Although it was a big loss of face, he cried out the prosperity of the second half of his life.

Chiang Kai-shek announced the issue of resignation for the third time, and convened an interim meeting of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee at the President's Mansion on Huangpu Road.Li Zongren, Sun Ke, Wu Zhongxin, Shao Lizi, Chen Lifu, Gu Zhenggang, Jiang Jingguo and others attended the meeting.

Everyone present at the meeting had gloomy expressions, and the atmosphere was cold. Chiang Kai-shek showed him and Li Zongren's joint declaration, briefly saying, "The war is still going on, and the goal of peace cannot be achieved. The people's misery, Chang Qi has a sense of hope." The Communist Party of Georgia, the rescue of the people is hanging in the balance. Today, according to Article 40 of the "Constitution of the Republic of China", "When the President is unable to take care of the affairs for some reason, the Vice President shall act on his behalf." Starting from the 21st of this month, the Vice President Lee is acting as President."

Chiang Kai-shek spoke first, analyzed the situation in detail, and finally stated that he must retire personally. "As long as the fruit of peace can be realized, individual advances and retreats will never be taken for granted, and only the general will of the people will be followed."

The scene at that time was extremely sad.Chiang Kai-shek's voice was deep and sad, which was completely different from his usual impassioned speeches.

Then, Zhang Qun read another proclamation from Chiang Kai-shek.After Zhang Qun finished reading, the venue was silent.

Suddenly someone burst into tears, choked up and said, "The president can't go down! The president!"

Who was wailing? People looked up, and it turned out that it was Gu Zhenggang, a member of the young youth faction of the cc system, crying with tears streaming down his face.

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart, a sense of warmth rose up, thinking: In a critical moment, he actually has such a loyal subordinate.well!rare!rare!

There was a commotion in the venue, people were whispering and whispering.

"I think publishing this statement will have a bad impact on morale and people's hearts." Gu Zhenggang's younger brother Gu Zhengding also immediately echoed his brother.

"I strongly oppose it. Now is an extraordinary period. The president cannot step down..." Zhang Daofan also stood up and shouted hoarsely. "

Chiang Kai-shek tried his best to control his emotions, and said in a low tone:
"It is impossible in fact. I have made this decision. I will leave Nanjing today."

When Gu Zhenggang cried, he really cried out of the ordinary. At the critical moment, he pledged his allegiance to Chiang Kai-shek with tears, which left a deep impression on Chiang Kai-shek.

In order to show his loyalty, after Chiang Kai-shek stepped down, Gu Zhenggang protested by "resigning" and left Nanjing for Shanghai.

After Chiang Kai-shek was defeated and sent to Taiwan, he performed major surgery on the Kuomintang, eliminated various old factions, and reorganized them to form absolute control over the Kuomintang.The first is the establishment of a 15-member central transformation committee.These 15 people are reliable figures carefully selected by Jiang and his son.Gu Zhenggang won Jiang's trust based on his previous cry, and became a member of the 15-member committee, which was highly regarded.After the Kuomintang was spread to Taiwan, many Kuomintang veterans and dignitaries had lost their power. Gu Zhenggang cried in exchange for Jiang's trust, making so many Kuomintang veterans, compared with Gu Zhenggang, every one of them was as embarrassed as a chicken in water.

Eloquence
Crying bitterly is Tokiya Masaona skillfully expressing his loyalty.

As the saying goes: "A man does not flick his tears lightly." It is really indecent for a man to cry and lose his style.But in the officialdom, it is not uncommon for some people to use crying to achieve their goals in order to get promoted.

There was a 19-year-old young worker in a factory with lax discipline and loose style of work. He had even committed petty theft in the past.Everyone refused to pay attention to him, let alone live in the same dormitory with him.Although leaders and regiment cadres have given him multiple educations, the results have been minimal.

Later, a branch secretary of the women's league was transferred from the workshop. She was determined to help the young worker progress. After learning about the young worker's background, experience, and temperament, she first mobilized her mother and younger sister to get the young worker out within a day. The worker's cotton-padded clothes and quilts were all removed and washed, and he didn't say a word about criticism and persuasion.As a result, the young worker was so touched that he didn't fall asleep for half the night.

Later, when she talked to the young worker, she said: "My mother lost her mother when she was very young. She told me that people without maternal love are very hard. Your mother passed away early. I heard that you have suffered a lot. .”

After hearing this, Qinggong's eyes rolled with tears.The branch secretary of the women’s league went on to say: “You can’t always carry the burden of stealing other people’s food in the past.

I understand, it's not all your fault, you are suffering, your stepmother won't let you eat, you are hungry!This is out of helplessness, besides you have changed, you should move forward lightly! "

Listening to the sincere and touching words, the young worker cried loudly.Since then, he has changed and made gratifying progress.

15.Li Xiannian refutes Guo Confession
wonderful moment

Facing Guo Chan's performance, Li Xiannian was very calm. When Guo Chan finished speaking, he stood up and said calmly, "I have a question to ask General Guo. During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, your troops have been staying in Where? You said that our army has occupied your place, may I ask, where did your troops in these places fight against the Japanese devils? You have never been to these places, how can you say that these places were occupied by us?"

beautiful story
In 1946, Li Xiannian and Zhou Enlai negotiated with representatives of the United States and Chiang Kai-shek on the issue of the armistice in the Central Plains.After the second round of negotiations began, Guo Chan and Li Xiannian, powerful figures from the KMT, presented the specific proposals for the agreement on behalf of both parties.

Before the discussion on the previous item was finished, Guo Chan asked to discuss the so-called military conflict provoked by troops from the Nakai Central Plains Military Region.The U.S. representative even acquiesced to his unreasonable demands.Guo Chan was even more proud. Facing the neutralizers, he used fabricated so-called "evidence" to slander our Central Plains troops, accusing our troops of still attacking the national army after the truce order was issued.

Facing Guo Chan's performance, Li Xiannian was very calm. When Guo Chan finished speaking, he stood up and said calmly, "I have a question to ask General Guo. During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, your troops have been staying in Where? You said that our army has occupied your place, may I ask, where did your troops in these places fight against the Japanese devils? You have never been to these places, how can you say that these places were occupied by us?"

Guo Chan was speechless when asked.Li Xiannian went on to say: "In the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army persisted in the enemy's rear, liberated more than 9000 square kilometers of land, fought against more than 20 Japanese and puppet troops, experienced more than [-] battles, and wiped out a large number of enemies. These historical facts , is not something that General Guo can deny. Not only the river in Huangling, Targang, Zhaojiapeng in Anlu, Jiyang Mountain and other places are our army's positions, but also the entire border areas of Hubei, Henan, Hunan, Anhui and Jiangxi. It is the lost land regained by our army. Every village, every mountain, and every river here have the blood and sweat of our soldiers, and they have printed the footprints of our soldiers. Yes, in eight years, there will be no resistance, no war After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, there are many people who seized the fruits of victory; after the truce was issued, there were many people who competed for the territory, and the people have their own judgment. Our army has the responsibility to abide by the armistice agreement, and also has the responsibility to fight back. "I will not offend others if I am not attacked; if others offend me, I will offend others." This is a matter of necessity. In order to clarify right and wrong, I suggest that after the representatives of the three parties are formed, they might as well go to the field to inspect and listen to the local people. If so, it’s self-evident who is right.”

A few words refuted Guo Cong into silence, not only exposed the wolfish ambitions of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and set the record straight, but also greatly enhanced the prestige of our party and our army, making it impossible for the enemy to steal chickens and lose a handful of rice.

Eloquence
In the face of opponents or enemies who make out of nothing, maliciously slander, spread rumors and slander, the most effective way to refute is to directly state the facts, use facts to reveal the truth, and explain the truth.In the early days of the War of Liberation, when the Central Plains was mediating, the United States, as the arbitrator, favored Jiang and deliberately played tricks to frame our Central Plains troops. Li Xiannian, the plenipotentiary representative of our Central Plains troops, was calm and composed, insisted on speaking with facts, and constantly thwarted the enemy's plots and tricks.After the start of the second round of negotiations, Guo Chan, the representative of the Kuomintang, used fabricated "evidence" to slander our army for still attacking the national army after the truce order was issued.Confronting this kind of fluffy slander, Li Xiannian first revealed the absurdity of his remarks by means of questioning and rhetorical questions, and then used facts to demonstrate the feats of the New Fourth Army in the war of resistance in the border regions of Hubei, Henan, Hunan, Anhui, and Jiangxi. It pointed out the ugly behavior of some people during the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and after the truce was issued.Then he clearly put forward the principle that "our army has the responsibility to abide by the armistice agreement, and also has the right to fight back against rice offenders".As the saying goes, facts prevail in eloquence. The reason why General Li Xiannian’s reasoning permeates Changhong is overwhelming because he used the most basic and practical method of reasoning——Speaking with conclusive and typical facts, how can it be refuted?
