Chapter 28
Once, Fan Ju followed Xu Jia as an envoy to the state of Qi. The king of Qi admired Fan Ju's talent very much, so he secretly gave him many gold, silver and jewels.Although Fan Ju politely rejected King Qi's gift, Xu Jia still suspected that he had colluded with Qi State.So after returning to the country, Xu Jia notified the court of the matter, and Fan Wei was arrested and beaten severely.Fan Ju was beaten until he passed out, so Xu Jia asked someone to roll him up with a straw mat and throw him into the toilet, so that he could be guarded.After Fan Ju woke up, he found that the person guarding him was his good friend.With the help of his friends, he escaped and hid at the home of his good friend Zheng Anping, changing his name to Zhang Lu, and prepared to find an opportunity to escape abroad.

Soon, King Qin Zhao sent an envoy to the State of Wei, and Fan Ju took the opportunity to secretly follow the envoy to the State of Qin.In the state of Qin, Fan Ju, whose pseudonym was Zhang Lu, was quickly appreciated by the King of Qin, and was appointed as the prime minister shortly after, with a very prominent position.

In 226 BC, Qin State attempted to attack Han and Wei.The state of Wei hurriedly sent Xu Jia to the state of Qin to seek peace.When Xu Jia arrived in the state of Qin, he first visited Zhang Lu, the prime minister of the state of Qin, hoping that Zhang Lu could persuade the king of Qin.When he came to the prime minister's mansion and saw that the prime minister Zhang Lu turned out to be Fan Ju who was almost killed by him back then, he was frightened and knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said, "Jia Buyi Jun will be able to put himself on the top of Qingyun." It means, I didn't expect that you are still alive, and you are on the top of Qingyun, and you already have such a high status.

The idiom "Qingyun Zhishang" evolved from "Zhi Zhi Yu Qing Yun", which is a metaphor for a person's status rising in a straight line.Albatron, blue sky.

Go with
As the saying goes, "Nine out of ten unsatisfactory things happen." In everyone's life, it is impossible to be calm forever.The circumstances of life are beyond the control of individual power.However, in an environment that is treacherous and changeable, and unsatisfactory things always exist, the only way to make us feel at ease without being aware of the adversity is to make ourselves "be at peace with the situation".

"Oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges", why is this so?Water and soil are also different.Think about it, if a person is like this orange, how should he deal with it?Today's society is ever-changing, and the environment in which everyone lives will not remain the same. How do we face it?People with great wisdom believe that stick to your beliefs and live with the situation.

A long time ago, there was a monastery in which lived two monks, one old and one young.

One day the old monk gave the young monk some flower seeds to plant in his yard. The young monk was walking towards the yard with the flower seeds when he tripped over the threshold and fell.The flower seeds in the hands are scattered all over the ground.At this time, the abbot said in the room, "Anything".The little monk saw that the flower seeds had been sprinkled, so he hurried to sweep them.When he brought the broom and was about to sweep, suddenly a strong wind blew up in the sky, blowing the flower seeds scattered on the ground all over the yard. At this time, the abbot said "follow the fate" again.

What should the little monk do when he sees this?The matter explained by the master, because I was accidentally delayed, I hurriedly tried my best to sweep the flower seeds in the yard. At this time, it was pouring rain, and the little monk ran back to the house, crying and said that I had accidentally left the house. All the flower seeds were scattered, but the old abbot smiled and said "Sui'an".Winter went to spring, one morning, the little monk suddenly found that the yard was full of all kinds of flowers, he told the master bouncingly, the old abbot said "rejoice".

With regard to the four randomness, revelry, suian, and rejoicing, these four can be said to be the epitome of our life. When encountering different things and situations, what we need most is to have the mentality of "being at ease with the situation".Moreover, if a person can maintain a happy state of mind no matter what the situation is, that is really more blessed than having a million fortune!

The great writer Su Dongpo was exiled many times, but he said that if you want to be happy, you only need to see the pines and cypresses and the bright moon.Where is there no bright moon, where is there no pines and cypresses?It's just that few people have his leisure and mood.If everyone can live with the situation, dig out the anecdotes around you in time, and even look for the shining stars in the sky, then even if the environment does not change, your state of mind will be very different from now on.

There are often times when the environment is unsatisfactory. The problem lies in how individuals deal with adversity and adversity.When you know that manpower cannot be changed, it is better to face the reality and live with the situation.Instead of blaming everyone and others and increasing distress, it is better to make the best use of the situation, adapt to the environment, and use your strength and wisdom to find fun from the existing conditions.It is the best way to find happiness and tranquility by calmly discovering a new way forward from unsatisfactory situations.

A lot of stuff
Confucius' thought is broad and profound, and later generations respected him as a saint. At that time, 3000 people followed him to study.At that time, for the needs of teaching, Confucius once sorted out and revised "Spring and Autumn" and so on.Confucius said "Chun Qiu Yi Yi", that is to use "Chun Qiu" to make people understand "righteousness".But Confucius did not write any works of his own in his life, he just "reported without writing".

"The Analects of Confucius" said that once Zigong asked Confucius about the "way of heaven", Confucius said: "I don't want to talk about this." Zigong said: "If the master doesn't say it, how can we do it?" Confucius said: "How can the way of heaven be explained clearly—the four seasons run because of it, and all things grow because of it. How can the way of heaven be explained clearly?" This may be the reason why Confucius did not write.

Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty said: "Since Confucius revised "Spring and Autumn", more people wrote biographies for it. At that time, there were five "Zuo Zhuan", "Gongyang Zhuan", "Gu Liang Biography", "Zou "Biography of Shishi" and "Biography of Jiashi". In the later dynasties, hundreds of people commented on them and wrote many works with different opinions. These books can be piled up to fill a room and shipped out To make the oxen and the horses sweat."

Sweaty cows fill a building is to describe the cows sweating when they are transported, and they can be piled up to the roof when they are stored.Describe the collection of books is very large.

Meet and hate late
In the Western Han Dynasty, it turned out that there was a man in Linzi, Qi State, named Zhufuyan.He learned Zonghengshu in his early years, but later he realized that Zonghengshu was useless, so he began to study Confucian theories such as "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn".Probably because he became a monk halfway and lacked self-cultivation, he was rejected by the local Confucian scholars.

In the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the master father Yan heard that General Wei Qing cherished talents, so he traveled long distances to Chang'an to meet General Wei Qing.Wei Qing admired the talent of Zhufu Yan very much, and recommended it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty many times, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ignored him.

After a long time, the assets brought by Zhu Fuyan were almost exhausted, and everyone began to hate him.Coming from afar, seeking an official position is unsuccessful, and livelihood has become a problem. What should I do?The father Yan thought to himself: If you can't ask for a recommendation, then you can directly write to the emperor, and there may be unexpected surprises.

At that time, the Huns in the north often invaded the border of the Han Dynasty, which caused Emperor Wu of the Han a headache.Therefore, Zhu Fuyan directly wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, expressing his views on the issue of the Huns.He seized the key point, hit the current situation, and urged Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to crusade against the Huns.Xu Le and Yan An also wrote the letter at the same time as him.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty read Zhu Fuyan's article and appreciated it very much. He quickly summoned the three of them and said: "All the public and others are safe? Why are you so late?" Where are you coming from?It's so late to meet each other!Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped the three of them as doctors.

The idiom "Meeting Hate Late" evolved from "How late it is to meet", which describes that new friends are very close, and it is a pity that they know each other too late.

burn one's boats
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, people all over the country staged uprisings against the tyrannical rule of the Qin Dynasty.The leaders of the peasant uprising army, the most famous are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, followed by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.Next, tell a story about Xiang Yu's failure.

One year, 30 troops from the State of Qin surrounded Julu (now Pingxiang County, Hebei Province) in the State of Zhao (that was not the original State of Zhao). help.King Huai of Chu sent Song Yi as the general and Xiang Yu as the second general, leading 20 troops to rescue Zhao.Unexpectedly, Song Yi heard that the Qin army was powerful, so he stopped halfway and stopped moving forward.There was no food in the army, and the soldiers cooked vegetables and miscellaneous beans for meals, but he didn't care, he just held a banquet by himself and ate and drank.This time, Xiang Yu's lungs could be blown up.He killed Song Yi, became a "false general" himself, and led the troops to save Zhao Guo.

Xiang Yu first sent an army to cut off the road for the Qin army to transport food; he personally led the main force across the Zhang River to rescue the giant deer.

After all the Chu troops crossed the Zhang River, Xiang Yu let the soldiers eat a full meal, and each of them brought three days of dry food, and then gave the order: to cut through the boats (called boats in ancient times) and sink them into the river. , smashed the cooking pot (called cauldron in ancient times) to pieces, set fire to all the nearby houses and burned them down.This is called breaking the boat.Xiang Yu used this method to express his determination to win the victory without retreating.

The soldiers of the Chu army saw that the commander was so determined, no one planned to go back alive.Under Xiang Yu's personal command, they used one as ten and ten as a hundred, and rushed to the Qin army desperately. After nine consecutive charges, they defeated the Qin army.Some of the main generals of the Qin army were killed, some were captured, and some surrendered.This battle not only broke the siege of Julu, but also made the Qin army unable to cheer up. After two years, the Qin Dynasty perished.

After this fight, Xiang Yu became a real general, and many other armies were under his command and command, and his reputation spread throughout the world.

Hard to harvest
In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, there lived a resourceful man whose surname was Jiang and name was Shang, and his courtesy name was Ziya. He was known as Jiang Taigong.Because the ancestor was named Lu, he was also named Lu Shang.He assisted Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang to conquer the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty, making great contributions.Later, it was enshrined in Qi, and it was the ancestor of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Jiang Taigong used to be an official in the Shang Dynasty. Because he was dissatisfied with the brutal rule of King Zhou, he abandoned his official position and lived in seclusion in a relatively remote place by the Weishui River in Shaanxi.In order to gain the respect of Ji Chang (King Wen of Zhou), the leader of the Zhou clan, he often used a straight hook without bait to pretend to fish by the small river.

Jiang Taigong fished all day long, and his family's livelihood was in trouble. His wife, Mrs. Ma, thought he was poor and worthless, so she didn't want to live with him anymore and wanted to leave him.Jiang Taigong repeatedly persuaded her not to do this, and said that one day he will be rich.But Mrs. Ma thought he was lying to her with empty words, so he didn't believe it anyway.Jiang Taigong had no choice but to let her go.

Later, Jiang Taigong finally won the trust and reuse of King Wen of Zhou, and helped King Wu of Zhou unite the princes to conquer the Shang Dynasty and establish the Western Zhou Dynasty.Madam Ma saw that he was rich and powerful, and regretted leaving him at the beginning.So he found Jiang Taigong and asked him to restore the relationship between husband and wife.

This idiom comes from Song Dynasty.In Wang Tao's "Wild Guest Series", the grandfather took a pot of water and poured it on the ground, so that his wife could earn money.Nai Yuzhi said: "If you talk about separation and more unity, it will be difficult to recover if it is covered with water."

The idiom "overwhelmed water is hard to recover" means that the water that has been poured out cannot be recovered.It means that the matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be undone.
