Idioms and their stories
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a public figure named Cui Yan around Yuan Shao. He liked martial arts since childhood and began to study at the age of 23. But because of its efforts, the progress is very obvious. At that time, Yuan Shao's army had poor military discipline. Every time he occupied a place, he would dig a grave and steal the property buried with him, so wherever he went, people hated them very much. Cui Yan saw this situation and persuaded Yuan Shao not to do so. Yuan Shao thought he was right and accepted his suggestion. From then on, the matter was severely punished and he was named the captain of the ride.
In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao and Cui Yan was captured. So I began to follow Cao Cao and gave him many ideas. When he was a history book, Cao Cao wanted Cao to be a prince, but Cui Yan opposed it. He said to Cao Cao, "The rule since ancient times is to have the eldest son. How can you let Cao Zhi? " Cao Zhi is Cui Yan's nephew. Although he is a relative, he is not partial. Cao Cao admired his justice.
Cui Yan is also good at discovering talents. He has a cousin named Cui Lin, who is introverted and seldom talks. When he was young, he had neither achievement nor fame. His relatives and friends look down on him, but Cui Yan thinks highly of him. Cui Yan often said to people: "People develop late and develop early. I just became an official a few years ago, how can I compare with Cui Lin? " . Talented people need long-term "tempering" to succeed. With Trina's knowledge and talent, they will succeed in the future. "
Cui Yan's vision is indeed true, because Cui Lin has been studying hard and always pays attention to the changes in the political situation. Later, under the recommendation of Cui Yan, Cui Lin became the main book of Yizhou and Cheng in the Proposal. At that time, he became an official and was named an Hou.
