Yan Zi was sent to Chu.

The Chu people called it "short for" and "extended for", because the small gate is on the edge of the city gate. Yan Zi refused to go in and said, "Let the dog country go in through the dog door. Now that I am a minister, I shouldn't go in through this door. " It's more polite to enter through the gate. See the king of Chu. The king said, "Is there no one here? Let children become ambassadors. " He said to him, "Qi's face is 300 meters long, his face is cloudy and he is sweating like rain, standing side by side. Why is there no one? " The king said, "But what is giving?" Yan Zi said to him, "Everyone has his own master. Sages make saints master, and corrupt people make corrupt countries. Babies are the most greedy, so it is advisable to make Chu. "

Yan Zi will make Chu. Hearing this, the King of Chu said to the left and right, "Yan Ying, a poet of the State of Qi, is one of them. Today, I want to humiliate it, why (the other way around)? " "For his sake," said the left and right, "I'll ask you to tie someone up and walk over the king. The king said, "What is it?" Yes,' Qi people are also.' The king said,' Why sit (upside down)?' Say, "Sit down and steal." "

Yanzi, the king of Chu, gave Yanzi wine. After drinking, two officials tied a man to the king's side. The king said, "What happened to the bound man?" He said, "Qi people are also thieves." The King of Qi looked at Yan Zi and said, "Are Qi people good at stealing?" Yan Zi avoided the table and said, "Babies smell it, but oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei. Leaves are similar to disciples, but they taste different. What's that? Soil and water are different. Now people's livelihood is better than Qi's, but they stole it when they went to Chu. If he has soil and water without Chu, then the people are good and thieves. " Wang smiled and said, "saints are not interested in happiness, but I am interested in disease."

Yan Zi went to the State of Chu. The Chu people (trying to insult him) specially opened a small door next to the city gate because of his short stature, and invited Yan Zi to enter from the inside. Yan Zi said: "Only those who are sent to the dog country can go in through the dog hole. I'm on a mission to Chu, so I shouldn't have entered the city from this gate. " The Chu people had to divert the road and ask Yan Zi to go in through the gate. Yan Zi visited the King of Chu. The king of Chu said, "I'm afraid there is no one in Qi?" Yan Zi replied, "There are more than 7,000 families in Linzi, the capital of Qi State. People are next to people, shoulder to shoulder. Spreading sleeves can cover the sun and sweat all over the world. How can you say that there is no one in Qi? " The king of Chu said, "In that case, why should you be sent as an envoy?" Yan Zi replied: "Qi sent special envoys, and everyone has different goals. The wise sent him to the wise monarch, and the incompetent sent him to the incompetent monarch. I am the most incompetent person, so I have to send him to Chu. "

Yan Zi will be sent to the State of Chu. When the King of Chu heard the news, he said to the courtiers around him, "Yan Ying is good at talking in Qi. Now he's here. I want to humiliate him. What can I do? " The courtier replied, "When he comes, please let us walk past the king with people tied. The king asked, "What does he do?" I said,' He is from Qi. The king asked (again), "What crime have you committed?" I replied,' He committed theft.' "

Yan Zi came to Chu State, and the King of Chu invited Yan Zi to drink. While he was having fun, he asked two people to tie a person to the king of Chu. The king of Chu asked, "What do people who are tied up do? (Tolerance) Answer: "(He) is a Qi person and committed theft. The king of Chu looked at Yan Zi and asked, "Are Qi people good at stealing?" ? "Yan Zi left his seat and replied," I heard that sour oranges grow in sour oranges south of Huaihe River, while bitter oranges grow in north of Huaihe River, but the leaves are similar, but the fruits taste different. Why is this happening? The soil and water conditions are different. This man grew up in Qi State and never stole anything. When he arrived in Chu, he stole it. Does the soil and water of Chu make people like stealing? " The king of Chu smiled and said, "A saint can't joke with him. Instead, I went to bring shame on myself. "
