Historical Records Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru also tells a story of reconciliation. Words Mianchi will end, the prince of Zhao returned home, sealing Lian Xiangru Shangqing, position above Lian Po, Lian Po is not happy. He said to people, "As the general of Zhao, I fought in the besieged city and made great contributions. But Lin Xiangru is just talking above me! He was originally from a humble background, and I couldn't stand it at first. " He also openly said: "If you meet Lin Xiangru again, you must humiliate him face to face." Hearing this, Lin Xiangru refused to meet Lian Po again. When I was in the imperial court, I often called in sick and didn't want to compete with Lian Po for priority.

Later, when Lin Xiangru went out, he saw Lian Po's car coming from a distance and quickly told the driver to avoid it. So Lin Xiangru's men all said to him, "We left our family to serve you because we admire your justice and courage. Now you are on an equal footing with General Lian, but you avoid it everywhere and dare not argue with him. Even ordinary people are ashamed, not to mention that you are a leader! We people don't have any talent and can't help you. Please let us go back. "

Lin Xiangru quickly stopped them and said, "Do you think even the generals are better than the king of Qin?" Everyone says it's not as good as the king of Qin. Lin Xiangru said, "Please think about it. The king of Qin is so powerful, but I dare to reprimand him in public at the court, which makes Qin feel ashamed. Although I am useless, am I still afraid of even the general? I think it is because of me and General Lian that we dare not send troops to attack Zhao. Now that two tigers are fighting, there is bound to be injury. At that time, if Qin invaded again, the state affairs would be unimaginable. I gave in to General Lian. It is to take care of national affairs first and then consider personal grievances! "

There are five short stories about harmony.

1, "Gui Zhao"

There is a treasure jade in Chu called He Shibi, which was acquired by Zhao Haoqi Huiwen. When King Zhao of Qin heard about it, he proposed to exchange 15 for Heshibi. Zhao Huiwen summoned Lin Xiangru, and Lin Xiangru offered to take Cui to Qin. If Zhao gets the city of Qin, she will stay in Qin. Otherwise, she will return it to Zhao intact. When Lin Xiangru arrived in Qin, he presented Choi. The king of Qin was overjoyed, but he didn't give these cities to Zhao. Lin Xiangru said that the jade had a small flaw and wanted to show it to Zhao Haoqi of Qin, so he took Baoyu back. He stood by the court pillar and said, The prince of Zhao is worried that the state of Qin is strong and refuses to give the jade to the city. I persuaded him to agree. Stop fighting for five days, and then let me come with Bi to show my respect and respect for the majesty of Qin. Unexpectedly, the king's manners are simple and slow, and he has no sincerity to deliver to the cities. Now, if the king must take Baoyu away, I'd rather smash my head on the post with Baoyu. The state of Qin had no choice but to leave the city of 15 to Zhao. Lin Xiangru estimated that the king of Qin just pretended to cope, so he proposed to fast for five days, and then communicate seriously. King Qin Zhao had to agree. Lin Xiangru sent his entourage to secretly return to Zhao from the path. After Qin Zhaowang fasted and held the exchange ceremony, Lin Xiangru told Qin Zhaowang about sending Choi back to Zhao, thus preserving Choi.

2. Mianchi Meeting

In the second year of Lin Xiangru's safe return to Zhao, and in the seventeenth year of Zhao Huiwen, Qin used Zhao as an excuse to send troops to capture two cities of Zhao. In the eighteenth year of Zhao Huiwen, Qin invaded Zhao and captured Shicheng. In the 19th year of Zhao Huiwen, General Qin led an army to attack Zhao, took the wolf city and killed 30,000 people in Zhao. Qin threatened Zhao in the military and forced Zhao to yield in diplomacy. In the twentieth year of Zhao Huiwen, the king of Qin sent messengers to inform the king of Zhao to meet in Mianchi, outside Xihe River. The prince of Zhao was afraid of Qin and wanted to politely refuse to go. After discussing with Lin Xiangru, Lian Po said to the king of Zhao, "Your Majesty's failure to attend the meeting shows that Zhao is timid." So the prince of Zhao decided to take Lin Xiangru with him to see the king of Qin. When Lian Po sent him to the border, he agreed to bid farewell to the Prince of Zhao: "After you left, it is estimated that the round trip and meeting etiquette will be completed, but it only takes 30 days. If you don't come back in 30 days, please let the prince cut off the idea of Qin detaining you as a threat. " Wang Zhao agreed. Zhao Wang went to Mianchi to see Qin Wang. During the dinner, when the king of Qin was having a good time, he said to the king of Zhao, "I heard that you like playing the harp. Please play a song for me. " Zhao Wang played a song at the banquet. Historians of the state of Qin stood up and wrote, "On a certain day of a certain month, the king of Qin and the king of Zhao drank wine and ordered the king of Zhao to play the piano." Lin Xiangru went up to the king of Qin and said, "The king of Zhao heard that the king of Qin was good at piano music. Today, I offer a pot, and invite the king of Qin to knock on the door for entertainment. " The king of Qin was very angry and refused to agree. Lin Xiangru came up with a basin and knelt down to the king of Qin. The king of Qin still refused to knock. Lin Xiangru said, "I am less than five steps away from the King. If the king doesn't agree to my request, I will spill the blood from my neck on him! " Qin Wang's guards tried to kill Lin Xiangru, but Lin Xiangru glared at them loudly, scaring those people straight back. The king of Qin was very unhappy and had to knock the hammer. Lin Xiangru turned to Zhao's history books and wrote: "On a certain day in a certain year, the king of Qin attacked the king of Zhao." The warlord of Qin said, "Please ask the king of Zhao to send fifteen cities to the king of Qin as a gift." Lin Xiangru also said: "Please ask the king of Qin to give the capital Xianyang to the king of Zhao as a gift." Until the end of the banquet, Qin could not get the upper hand of Zhao. Zhao mobilized troops to guard against the invasion of Qin, who dared not act rashly.

3. "offer a humble apology"

During the Warring States period, there were seven great powers, namely, Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei, which were called "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" in history. Of these seven countries, Qin is the most powerful. Qin often bullies Zhao On one occasion, the Prince of Zhao sent Lin Xiangru, the servant of the minister, to the State of Qin to negotiate. When Lin Xiangru met the King of Qin, with his wit and courage, he won a lot of face for Zhao. The king of Qin saw that Zhao had such talents and dared not look down upon Zhao again. The prince of Zhao sees that Lin Xiangru is so capable. Just call him "supernatant". The prince of Zhao valued Lin Xiangru very much and was furious with General Zhao Lian Po. He thought: I worked hard for Zhao and earned as much money as Lin Xiangru, didn't I? Lin Xiangru with his mouth open, what's the great skill, status is higher than me! The more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became. He said angrily, "If I run into Lin Xiangru, I'll embarrass him face to face and see what he can do to me!" Lian Po's words reached Lin Xiangru's ears. Lin Xiangru immediately ordered his men to meet Lian Po's men in the future, so they must make way and not quarrel with them. He went out by car. As soon as I hear that Lian Po is ahead, let the coachman drive into the alley and wait for Lian Po to pass.

People in Lian Po were even more carried away when they saw Shangqing let his master go like this. When they saw Lin Xiangru's people, they laughed at them. Lin Xiangru's men couldn't stand this anger, so they said to Lin Xiangru, "Your position is higher than that of General Lian. When he scolds you, you avoid him and let him go, and he will no longer take you seriously! We can't stand it like this. "

Ask them calmly: "Compared with the king of Qin, who is better?" Everyone said, "Of course, the king of Qin is awesome." Lin Xiangru said, "Yes! I'm not afraid of the king of Qin, so am I afraid of even the general? You know, the state of Qin now dares not fight Zhao, because the domestic civil servants and military commanders are United. We are like two tigers. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured or even killed, which gives a good opportunity to attack Zhao. Think about it, what matters is the country or the personal face? " Lin Xiangru's men were very moved. When they saw Lian Po's men, they were very cautious and always let them go.

Lin Xiangru's remarks later reached the ears of Lian Po. Lian Po was extremely ashamed. So he took off his shirt, carried a bundle of Vitex negundo, and went straight to Lin Xiangru's house. Lin Xiangru hurriedly came out to meet Lian Po. Lian Po knelt down to Lin Xiangru, holding Vitex negundo in his hands, and asked Lin Xiangru to whip himself. Lin Xiangru threw Vitex negundo on the ground, hurriedly lifted Lian Po up with both hands, dressed him, and held his hand to let him sit down.

Lin Xiangru and Lian Po became good friends from then on. These two men are skilled in writing, fighting for their country, and Qin is even more afraid to bully Zhao. "offer a humble apology" has become an idiom, meaning to apologize to others and admit one's mistakes.

Unfortunately, a group of bandits happened to rob his friend's house and everyone in the village ran away. His friend advised Jubo Xun: "It's too dangerous here, hurry up!" Jubo Xun said, "I have come a long way to visit and take care of you. How can I leave you? I can't do such an immoral thing. "

Jubo Xun went outside and said to the robbers, "My friend is ill. I can't bear to leave him. I'd rather trade my life for my friend's! " Because he is sincere, moral and not afraid of life and death, even robbers are moved by it. The bandit leader said to his accomplices, "We are all brainless people. How can you grab such a meaningful place? " So he ordered all robbers to evacuate. Jubo Xun righteously resolved the disaster.

Zigong small beast

The ancients called five kinds of human relations "five ethics": monarch and minister, father and son, brother, couple and friend. In addition to the "five relationships", there is another relationship that is very important, that is, the teacher-student relationship. In ancient times, people respected teachers very much. As the saying goes, "once a teacher, always a father." Therefore, the teacher-student relationship is as important as the father-son relationship.

Confucius taught all his life. When he died, the students were very grateful to the teacher for his kindness. They built a shed next to the teacher's grave and kept filial piety for three years.

Chen Jinshou's Biography of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Wei and Lu Yu: "Choose not to get fame, make cakes picturesque, and don't spit it out."

suggestion

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a man named Lu Yu in the state of Wei. He is the youngest son of Lu Zhi, a famous minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Lu Yu is honest and knowledgeable, and Wei Wendi promoted him as his assistant. After three years in office, Lu Yu gave many good suggestions to Wei Mingdi and Cao Rui. Wei Mingdi was unhappy at first, but later he was promoted to an official. Then, Wei Mingdi asked Lu Yu to recommend someone similar to himself to take over the position of waiter, and Lu Yu recommended Zheng Chong. Wei Mingdi said: I know Zheng Chong without your recommendation. Please choose another person I don't know. Lu Yu chose Ruan Wu and Sun Yong. Later, Wei Wendi chose Sun Yong as his assistant.

On one occasion, Wei Mingdi said to Lu Yu: Whether the country can produce talents depends on you. When selecting talents, don't just look at those famous people. Fame is like a cake painted on the ground. You can't eat it. Lu Yu replied: You can't get really talented people by reputation, you can only find ordinary talents. I think a good way is to evaluate them and see if they are really talented. Now that the examination law has been abolished, it depends on the rise and fall of reputation. Wei Mingdi adopted Lu Yu's opinion, ordered the formulation of examination law, and adopted the method of combining recommendation and examination to use talents, which was praised by people.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a fruit seller in Hangzhou who was good at storing oranges. The citrus he preserved will not rot after a winter and a summer. The orange peel is ruddy and full of water, like a gem, very beautiful. Although oranges are expensive, many people buy them.

Once, Liu Ji, a minister of the Ming Dynasty, bought him a citrus, but when it was peeled off, it stinked to the sky. If you look at the pulp inside, it will dry like absorbent cotton. Liu Ji asked angrily, "Why do you cheat customers by fraudulent means?"

The citrus seller smiled and said, "I've been in this business for many years, and that's what I do for a living." I am willing to sell, others are willing to buy, and no one has a problem, only you, the gentleman, are not satisfied. Do you know that there are many liars in the world now? You don't want to think, those who wear military symbols on their waists seem to be military commanders who defend their country. Do they really have the martial arts of Sun Tzu and Wu Qi? Are those people who wear rice bowls and are full of lofty sentiments really talents who govern the country? In fact, they also have no skill. People's sufferings, they don't care; Officials run amok without stopping them. They only care about eating their stomachs and consuming the country's food and money, but they are shameless. These people, like the oranges I sell, look shiny, but they have nothing in their bellies. "

He split the thorn tree on the road of starting a business, swept away many obstacles, and settled in Guanzhong for me, making great achievements. "

After Emperor Guangwu retired from the DPRK, he gave many treasures and clothes to Feng Yi, and wrote an imperial edict saying: "I didn't eat in the Wu Pavilion, but you got me a bowl of bean porridge;" In _ Tuohe River, I was starving, and you cooked me wheat rice again. These things are vivid in my mind. How can I forget them? I haven't repaid your kindness to me. "
