Down and out, noble, ambitious
Guan Zhong's word is Yi Wu, and Qi is a good man. Although his home is surrounded by four walls, he is also a noble. His father Guan Zhuang used to be a doctor in Qi State. Later, when I came to Guanzhong, I was already very poor, but Guanzhong never forgot to revitalize his family business. At that time, reading was a luxury, and Guan Fu still fully supported Guan Zhong's study. Guan Zhong was gifted and never forgets anything, and gradually became a handsome Confucian scholar. His fame spread far and wide, and Fiona Fang has traveled dozens of miles. Everyone knows his fame.
If it weren't for his family, he could have charmed a little girl, but his family was poor and he was forced to make a living without those feelings.
But Guan Zhong is poor, but he is really ambitious. Guan Zhong has an uncle named Guan Zhong's father, who is still an official in Qi, but he dislikes Guan Zhong's poverty and almost forgets his nephew. Although Guan Zhong is poor, his ambition is not short, and he doesn't want to climb high. Although the two families are close relatives, they have never met and are strangers to each other.
Develop new business and cooperate with Guan Bao.
Economic problems forced Guan Zhong to go to sea. He went out to do business with his good friend Bao. Unlike Guan Zhong, Bao is a typical rich second generation, but he has a very close relationship with Guan Zhong. Usually doing business, we split it 50/50. But in Guan Bao's business alliance, Guan Zhong takes one-third of the principal, but two-thirds of the profits, which is intolerable to most people. He is a snob.
Bao came back happily with money, and his family blamed him: Why did Guan Zhong take so much? Bao said with a smile: Guan Zhong is like this because there is an old mother to raise at home!
Sometimes when you lose money in business, Bao also comforted Guan Zhong and said that the timing is not your problem. In this way, after going to sea, Guan Zhong accumulated first-hand business information, which laid a solid foundation for later reform.
Such a pair of good friends, after working together for a period of time, went to start their own businesses.
Li Bao, the public election of its teachers.
A good relationship is not a person's efforts, but a common achievement. Everyone knows that Bao has made Guan Zhong, but he doesn't know that Guan Zhong has made Bao before, otherwise Bao wouldn't take such a fancy to him.
Guan and Zhao, who met halfway, came to Qi to apply for a job and were appreciated by Qi Guogong. Baiguan was the teacher of Gong Zijiu II and Baibao was the teacher of the third son. Guan immediately rejoiced in the past, but Bao refused on the grounds of illness. Qi Huangong asked Guan Zhong to have a look.
Guan Zhong knew that Bao must have something else to hide. After seeing Bao, Guan Zhong really said, "Know your son Mo Ruo and your husband Mo Ruochen. Your majesty thinks that my ability is the worst, so let me help his little son. The gentleman is indomitable, and I don't want to do this job. " Zhao suddenly said, then you can always pretend to be sick, and we can get rid of this job for you. Guan Yiwu doesn't think so: the prince is domineering and his future is uncertain. The only person who can be in charge of the Qi government in the future can be Gong Sunjiu or Xiaobai. As for the final result, it's hard to say. If the succession is corrected, I will assist him. If Xiao Bai succeeds and Xiong Bao is born, who else can help him? Bao was persuaded, so he became the host. When two people meet, no matter who helps them become monarchs in the end, they should introduce each other.
Guan Zhong also made a package. Without his advice, the fate of both of them would be rewritten. Bao also saw Guan Zhong's talent, so they all made each other.
The civil strife in the state of Qi is its own.
After Qi Xianggong ascended the throne, he was very unpopular and had an affair with his half-sister, Wen Jiang. After being discovered by Lu Huangong, it caused discord between husband and wife. In order to prevent things from spreading, Qi Xianggong let Lu Huangong travel abroad by car, and took the opportunity to hurt Lu Huangong.
Lu was humiliated and lost his gentleman, but Qilu was very different and didn't dare to tell anyone. Duke Zhuang of Lu tried to send troops to attack Qi, but the doctor stopped him. Just wrote a letter of credentials, asking the murderer Peng Sheng. As a result, instead of protecting him, Qi Xianggong directly made Peng Sheng a scapegoat.
But what caused the regicide was that two generals were sent to guard the border of Kwai Mountain with their father. When they went, the generals asked: When is the king going to change his post? The "xianggong" has arrived: now is the day when the melons are ripe. When the melons are ripe next year, I'll send someone to change jobs.
As a result, the ripe melon fell off in the second year, and no one came to relieve it. Whoever is stationed outside and doesn't miss his hometown will take care of his father. He even said that maybe the monarch forgot, so he sent someone to offer melons and sent a shrewd leader to "remind". As a result, Qi Xianggong thought melons were sweet. When the leader mentioned the Cooked Melon Alliance, this person was completely prevaricated. Want to default, but also scolded the head.
After the results were reported back, the generals were very angry, and even claimed that their sister was not favored in the palace, so they contacted her and her brother Gong Sunwuming, who had bad feelings for Qi Xianggong. When Qi Xianggong was out hunting, he suddenly killed Qi Xianggong and made Gongsun king.
Courtiers also designed to get rid of the anonymity of Sun, and even named and managed his father. Qi immediately fell into chaos, and everyone had different opinions on the candidate for the new king. Some people suggested Gong Zijiu and others suggested Xiao Bai.
Each is his own master, and the revenge of one arrow.
After a long time, Qi did not reach an agreement. However, according to the rules of orderly aging, Miyako should be established, but many ministers objected that Miyako was weak and had no opinion, and this son was smart, although small, and Qi was in turmoil, so he should need such a monarch.
The two factions were evenly matched, but in the end etiquette prevailed. Most elders agreed to establish Gong Zijiu, and a few even established their son Xiaobai. However, the minority is subordinate to the majority. The humble people of Qi went to welcome the return of Childe for a long time, and a few people secretly took their sons back to China. Although Miyako has been established in name for a long time, in fact, after the death of King Qixiang, they are all eligible to inherit the throne, depending on who can return to China as soon as possible and get the approval of the minister.
Gong Zijiu was in Lu at that time, and because his mother was from Lu, she was well received in Lu. When the messenger arrived, Duke Zhuang of Lu sent 300 chariots to take Gong Zijiu home. He also wanted to interfere in the internal affairs of Qi through Miyako for revenge. When my son fled from Lu and Bao, he thought that it was a small country, adjacent to Qi and with smooth news. Son Xiao Bai comes and goes freely. And once the state of Qi changes, it is convenient to go back.
It takes five days for Miyako to get to Linzi for a long time, and only three days for Xiaobai. Xiao Bai was worried, and his master Guan Zhong was even more worried, so Guan Zhong ambushed Xiao Bai on his way home. On the bank of Baishui, Bao saw Guan Zhong and was satisfied that he was an old friend, so he drank two cups to catch up. Unexpectedly, Guan Zhong suddenly came out of his sheath and shot an arrow at Xiaobai, the son of the carriage. Guan Zhong is a famous sharpshooter. He was very confident in his archery. In fact, Xiaobai fell to the ground and vomited.
When Xiao Bai succeeded to the throne, there was a great war.
Miyako heard for a long time that Xiaobai had died, and she ran all the way, walking slowly, completely unlike returning to China to succeed to the throne. At the end of Linzi, the former army suddenly came to report, and Zhong Sun, the doctor of Qi, requested that Qi had a new king and asked the king of Lu to hand over his palace for a long time.
It turned out that Guan Zhong didn't hit Xiao Bai, but just hit the hook. Xiao Bai was skeptical, bit his tongue, vomited blood, and fell under the carriage. In this way, he fooled Guan Zhong and returned to China to succeed him, but some people still supported Miyako for a long time, thinking that Xiaobai was a usurper and refused to go to court.
Duke Zhuang of Lu and Gong Zijiu both took their anger on Guan Zhong, saying that Guan Zhong lied about his military situation, blindly scolded Guan Zhong for breaking the big event, and did not reflect on himself. He was just angry and agreed to fight a war with Xiao Bai. Guan Zhong suggested that he immediately surprise the forest, and when Xiaobai ascended the throne, there was doubt in his heart. What supports Gong Zijiu may be internal. However, Duke Zhuang of Lu thinks that it is appropriate to rest here because the foot soldiers are tired and there is much grass.
Rejected Guan Zhong's best policy, gave Xiaobai time to rest and unite the people, and was finally defeated by Xiaobai. If Guan Zhong's plan is adopted, it is not certain who will win the battle.
In this way, at the request of the victors in Qi Huangong, Duke Zhuang of Lu executed Gong Zijiu, originally intending to kill Guan Zhong. At Bao's request, Guan Zhong was taken to Linzi.
Bao Shu is virtuous, and Xiaobai worships each other.
Although Bao recommended Guan Zhong many times, Qi's vast territory and abundant resources did not eliminate his hatred. He always remembered Guan Zhong's revenge and always wanted revenge, but Bao and a group of ministers always stopped him, saying that Guan Zhong was very talented and important to Qi.
Vertical tooth saw his mind, so at his behest, he carefully prepared a copy of "Yuanmen Shooting Guanzhong" and deliberately kept it from the bag.
But Bao still knew, and immediately went to stop blocking people under the arrow, and a large group of ministers followed suit. But Xiao Bai ignored everyone's dissuasion and still shot at Guan Zhong firmly. Everyone's heart was caught, but the arrow still passed through Guan Zhong's cheek. Xiaobai said: I once swore
I shot Guan Zhong myself for revenge. I can't have no confidence in everyone. ...
Bao's five shortcomings may have really touched: it is better to be a minister than to be generous and love the people; Loyalty and loyalty make princes, I am not as good as Guan Zhong; Governing the country without losing authority, I am not as good as Guan Zhong; I am not as good as Guan Zhong in making etiquette to show the four directions; Armor drums, standing at the gate of the army, make the people more courageous, and I am not as good as Guan Zhong. Guan Zhong is superior to the minister in these five aspects. Guan Zhong is like the parents of the people. A master can't help his parents if he wants to take care of his son. Whoever is in power will win the world. "
In the end, Xiaobai did not remember the revenge of an arrow, worshipped Guan Zhong as a teacher, developed production, opened up commercial channels and implemented preferential policies. Guan Zhong's economic thought is very advanced. Until now, we are inheriting his thoughts and studying his "Pipe". Under his planning, Qi became a big country with rich wealth, respected Wang Daqi, and even made him a vassal of Jiuhe, forming an alliance with Kwai Qiu.
Revitalized the ancestral business of Qi State. It also made him famous in history.
The friendship between Bao and Bao is an eternal story.
The world knows Guan Zhong is wise, but he even praises Bao Shu Ya's recommendation. After Guan Zhong's death, he asked Bao if he would be a prime minister. Guan zhong bluntly said: Bao is too upright, and the prime minister should have an inclusive attitude, which is not suitable for him. Hearing this, Bao did not blame Guan Zhong, but thought that Guan Zhong knew him.
The friendship with Bao was also used by later generations as a metaphor for deep friendship.
Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, also saw through this bleak situation and once wrote a poem "Poor Bank of Communications"
These are the clouds that shelter the rain, so there is no need to count them.
However, you see, the ancient Guan Zhong, the rich and poor gentleman's Bao Shuya, was abandoned like dirt.
Even the great poet Du Fu lamented that such friendship is too rare.
Lu Xun said: it is enough to have a bosom friend in life! Guan Zhong and Bao are such typical examples, China's version of Marx and Engels' friendship.
Guan Zhong once said with emotion: He who gave birth to me knows Bao Shu.
It is said that every successful person needs a woman, but there is a man behind Guan Zhong.
