The three men became brothers and called themselves "Three Sisters of Qi Bang". Because of his contribution, Qi Jinggong awarded him the honor of "Five Riders".
Over time, the three of them rely on credit and courage, which is not only simple and slow, but also rude in front of Gong Jing. Even factionalism has gradually become a hidden danger of national stability.
JiXiang Yan Ying, that is, Yan Zi was deeply worried and wanted to get rid of it, but he was worried that Gong Jing wouldn't allow it, so he became enemies with the three men. One day, I got married and hosted a banquet for Lu.
When the wine was half finished, Yan Zi invited people in the garden to pick golden peaches to congratulate the alliance between the two countries. After Gong Jing allowed the performance, Yan Zi led the garden collectors to personally supervise the performance.
Picked six golden peaches, "as big as a bowl, as red as charcoal, and fragrant." According to the ceremony, Qilu two kings each enjoy one, and Qilu two countries each enjoy one.
There are two left on the plate, and Yan Zi invited them to be awarded to those who worked hard in recognition of their talents. Qi Jinggong invited ministers to recommend themselves, and Yan Zi gave them peaches.
Gong and Gu Yezi recommended themselves to work as saviors. As soon as they recommended themselves for the credit, Yan Zi affirmed their credit and immediately gave them two peaches respectively.
Tian Kaijiang recommended himself and made contributions in opening up the frontier. Yan Zi evaluated Tian Kaijiang's greatest contribution, but the peaches were no longer needed, saying that they could only be rewarded when the peaches were ripe next year.
Qi Jinggong said that he recommended himself late, and there were no peaches to commend his great achievements. Tian Kaijiang thought it was a shame, but because of his great achievements, he couldn't get peaches, so he committed suicide with his sword.
Tanino and Gong Sun Jie committed suicide because they were ashamed of their trivial work. Yan Ying got rid of three people with two peaches, which eliminated the hidden danger of Qi.
In the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, there were disputes between princes and wars. Jin, a powerful country in the Central Plains, planned to attack Qi. In order to know the situation of Qi, he sent a doctor named Zhao Fan to Qi.
Qi Jinggong hosted a banquet in honor of Zhao Fan. During the dinner, the wine was hot and everyone was a little drunk. Zhao Fan said to Qi Jinggong, "Please give me a glass of wine!" Duke Jing of Jin turned and told the left and right courtiers, "Pour the wine into my cup and give it to the guests."
Zhao Fan took the wine handed by the courtiers and gulped it down. Ying aside to see all this in the eye, harsh voice command courtiers way; "Throw away this wine glass and change it for your master."
According to the etiquette at that time, at the banquet, the monarch and the minister should use their own wine glasses. Drinking with a glass violates this etiquette and is aligned with disrespect. Zhao Fan did this on purpose to test each other's reaction, but he was caught by Ying.
After returning to China, he reported: "Now is not the time to attack Qi. I tried to test the reaction of the ministers of Qi, and Yan Ying found out. " Zhao Fan thought that Qi had such a good minister, and there was absolutely no chance to attack Qi now, so Jin Pinggong gave up his plan to attack Qi.
The story of the enemy giving up the attack through diplomatic negotiations, which is now called the story of "breaking the shackles", is from Yan Ying's story. Confucius praised Yan Ying's diplomatic performance and said that "a thousand miles away is not an ancient painting", which is a true portrayal of Yan Zi's strategy.
Before going to the dog country, Yan Ying not only did a decent job in welcoming foreign envoys, but also took a decisive attitude every time she went abroad, improvising and fulfilling her mission. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, governors were afraid of the power of Chu, and small countries came to worship, but big countries dared not form an alliance with them. Chu became the overlord of the vassal states, and Yan Ying of Qi sent an envoy to Chu on orders from Qi Jinggong.
When King Chu Ling heard that the envoy of the State of Qi was Prime Minister Yan Ying, he said to the left and right, "Yan is less than five feet tall, but he is known as a saint. I think Chu is strong and weak, and Qi should be humiliated to show the strength of Chu. " Taizai said aside, "Yan is good at answering questions. One thing is not enough to humiliate him. It must be like this. " The king of Chu was very happy and did it as planned.
Yan Ying, dressed in royal robes, took a bus to the east gate of the capital of Chu. When he saw that the gate was not open, he ordered someone to call it. The gatekeeper has received orders from Taizai. He pointed to the next door and said, "Guo Xiang, let's go in and out of this dog hole!" This hole is spacious enough for you to go in and out. Why open the gate and enter from the inside? Yan Ying smiled and said, "This is the door for dogs, not people. People who go to the dog country go in and out through the dog door, and people who go to the human country go in and out through the human door. I don't know whether I am in the country of man or dog. I don't think Chu is a dog country! " The gatekeeper conveyed Yan Ying's words to King Chu Ling. King Chu Ling listened, pondered for a while, and then reluctantly ordered to open the city gate and let Yan Ying enter the capital of Chu.
Yan came to the museum because of his enthusiasm, and the minister of Chu welcomed him. During the dinner, a heated debate was held. Dr. Chu first spoke: "Since the Taigong sealed the state, the State of Qi has boiled salt and cultivated the fields, with tens of thousands of soldiers on the border, which is enough to rival Chu. Why since Qi Huangong dominated the Central Plains, it has been a flash in the pan, and he can no longer lead his ministers? With Qi's vast territory, large population, strong country and Yan's intelligence, why can't the Central Plains rise again? On the contrary, it is too puzzling to form an alliance with Chu in China. "
Yan Ying replied, "Those who know the times are heroes, and those who change their minds are heroes. After the princes fell from power last week, the princes fought for years, and the five tyrants flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qi dominates the Central Plains, Qin and Wei regroup in Xirong, and Chu dominates the earth. Of course, these are all human factors, but most of them still depend on God's will. Previously, with Jin Wengong's talent, he fled in all directions; After Qin Mugong dominated Xirong, the civil and military affairs flourished, and his descendants were weak after his death, and he could no longer shake the glory of the past; Even you, Chu, have been harassed and ravaged by Wu and Jin since then.
Is it only weak gas? Today, let's make a good alliance, which is only a friendly exchange between neighboring countries. As a famous minister of Chu, you should be familiar with the meaning of the word "improvise", but how can you ask such a stupid question? "Chen Liang died for his country. When the doctor died, he blushed and retired. The doctor next to him was unconvinced and asked, "Zhong Ping, you think you are a resourceful person, but since the civil strife, Qi Chen has died for you countless times.
2. "Yanzi" During the Warring States Period, two peaches killed three scholars, and Tian Kaijiang's commander conquered Xu, which had the power to expand the border and strengthen the qi; Guyoko has the power to cut the giant savior; Gong recommended by Tian Kaijiang has the power to save tigers.
The three men became brothers and called themselves "Three Sisters of Qibang". Because of his contribution, Qi Jinggong awarded him the honor of "Five Riders".
Over time, the three of them rely on credit and courage, which is not only simple and slow, but also rude in front of Gong Jing. Even factionalism has gradually become a hidden danger of national stability.

3. Wei's suggestion on the translation of classical Chinese and Gao Shilian met a junior official and supervisor Dou on the road and asked, "What was recently built in the North Gate?" Dou Desu reported it to the emperor.
The emperor was furious and told Fang and others to say, "All you have to do is manage the government affairs of Nanyamen. What happened to the small-scale construction of the North Gate? " Fang and others bowed down and apologized. Wei Zhi remonstrated with the emperor, saying, "I don't know why your majesty holds the other party and others responsible, and what Fang and others have to apologize for.
Fang and others, as your assistants and eyes and ears, shouldn't you know about things inside and outside the court? If the project to be built is reasonable, you can help your majesty build it; If it is unreasonable, you should ask your majesty to stop it. It is also reasonable to ask the relevant officials.
I don't know what crime they have committed, and they are to blame, and I don't know what crime they have committed, and I want to apologize. "The emperor is ashamed of this.
4. Translate the full text of Yan Zi Jin Jian into the original text.
If anyone offended Gong Jing, the public was furious, tied up his royal highness and told him to dismember his body: "Anyone who dares to remonstrate will be punished." Yan Zi holds her head in her left hand and grinds a knife in her right hand. He leaned back and asked, "The ancients all knew that kings and lords dismembered people. I don't know where to start? " When the official left, he said, "In the end, it's my fault."
When Gong Jing got tired of punishment, people died. 【 Yong, used by the beheader. The public asked Yan Zi, "When you live near the city, do you know who is noble?" Yes, he said, "It's expensive and cheap." Open education to save punishment.

When someone offended Qi Jinggong, Gong Jing was very angry and ordered him to be tied up in the hall, ready to be dismembered and put to death, and said that if anyone dared to dissuade him, he would be shot. Yan Zi (that is, Yan Ying) holds the prisoner's head in his left hand and the knife in his right. He looked up and asked Gong Jing, "In ancient times, the holy king Mingjun dismembered prisoners. I don't know where to chop them first?" Gong Jing immediately stood up and said, "It's my fault to let him go."
During the period of Gongwang, there were many articles in criminal law. One day, when Gong Jing was traveling, he saw some people selling shoes (shoes worn by criminals whose feet were cut off). Duke Jing of Jin asked Yan Zi, "Xian Qing lives near the market. Do you know whether shoes are expensive or ordinary shoes? " Yan Zi replied, "It's very expensive."
Duke Jing of Jin suddenly realized, so he ordered the abolition of strangulation (cutting off the feet of criminals in criminal law).
5. Fan Jijin's classical Chinese and its original translation:
Fan Ji is Chu Zhuangwang's wife. King Zhuang ascended the throne and was good at hunting. After Fan Ji's warning, he didn't eat animal meat. Wang changed his ways and was diligent in political affairs. When Qi Weiwang heard that the imperial court was going to slap Yan, he came down to the temple to see him and said, "Why do you want to slap Yan?" Are you hungry and tired? Wang Dao: "A sage knows nothing about hunger." Ji said, "What is the so-called king's saint?" Say, "Zi Ye." Ji smiled while covering her mouth. The King of Qi said, "Where is Ji?" He said: "Qiu Yu's son is very virtuous, but he is not loyal." The king said, "What is it? "He said to me," I have been holding a scarf for eleven years. I sent two men, Zheng and Wei, to find a virtuous woman to go to the king. Now two are kind to me, and seven are in the same row. Don't I want the king's love? "I heard in the class that I am a woman, so I can see people well. I can't hide my personal interests from the public. I want the king to see more and get to know more people. I heard that I have been intimate for more than ten years, and my non-heir is Kun Di, and I have never heard of the abdication of sages, so I sheltered the monarch and blocked the road to virtue. It is disloyal to know the good and not advance; It is unwise not to know his virtue. I laughed well? " Wang Yue. Tomorrow, Wang Yiji told Qiu Yuzi that Qiu Zi had withdrawn from the negotiating table and he didn't know what was right. So Shun Fu made people welcome the publication, and Ao Shu entered it. Qi Weiwang believed that Ling Yin would rule Chu for three seasons, while Zhuang Wang would rule it. The history book of Chu Ci says: "The king of Zhuang is the mainstay, and Fan Ji is the power." This is also called.
Praise: Fan Ji is modest, but he is jealous. Recommend a beautiful woman to be with yourself. If you don't stab Qiu Yu, you will embark on the road of being a saint. How to make use of Chuzhuang will make your career successful.
Translation:
Fan Ji, this is Chu Zhuangwang's wife. After Chu Zhuangwang ascended the throne, he liked hunting. Fan Ji keeps persuading Chu Zhuangwang, but Chu Zhuangwang still likes hunting, so Fan Ji doesn't eat animal meat. Chu Zhuangwang corrected his mistakes and was diligent in dealing with political affairs. Chu Zhuangwang once went to the court, but it was very late. Fan Ji went down to the temple to meet him and asked, "Why did you leave for the pilgrimage so late? Maybe you are hungry and tired? " Chu Zhuangwang said: "Being with sages, I don't know if I am hungry." Fan Ji asked, "Who is the saint mentioned by your majesty?" Chu Zhuangwang said, "It's Qiu Yu." Hearing this, Fan Ji covered her mouth and stood up. Chu Zhuangwang asked, "What are you laughing at?" Fan Ji said: "Qiu Yu is a good minister, but he cannot be said to be a loyal minister." Chu Zhuangwang asked, "Why do you say that?" Fan Ji said, "I have served the king for eleven years, and I have sent people to Zheng Guohe prison to find virtuous women for the king. Now there are two people who are more virtuous than me, and there are seven people who are tied with me. Don't I want to monopolize the king's love I heard that there are many women in the class, so we can use them to observe their talents. I can't be obsessed with one thing and turn a blind eye to national affairs. I want the king to see more people and understand the talents of others. I heard that Qiu Yu was the prime minister of Chu for more than ten years. He recommended either his own children or his brothers of the same clan. I haven't heard that he recommended sages to exclude heartless people. This is blinding the monarch and blocking the way for sages to enter the country. It is disloyal to know that sages do not recommend them; It is unwise not to know that those people are sages. Is it inappropriate for me to laugh at these! " Chu Zhuangwang was very happy after hearing this. The next day, I told Ding what I said. Qiu Yu left her seat and didn't know how to answer. So he gave up his family business, sent someone to see Sun Shuai, recommended him to Muwangzhai, and Chu Zhuangwang made Sun Shuai a hermit, ruling Chu for three years and became the overlord. "The History Book of Chu State" records: "It is Fan Ji's credit that Zhuang Wang became the overlord." That's what I'm talking about.
Ode: Fan Qianji, no jealousy. Recommend beauty and stay with yourself. Critics satirize Qiu Yu for blocking the way for saints to enter the body. Chu Zhuangwang obeyed her and gained the hegemony of Chu.
6. Yan Zi admonished Qi Jinggong for his translation of classical Chinese.
When Gong Jing was in office, it didn't clear up even for three days. Gong Jing was sitting on the steps in front of the purlin with a fur coat made of white hair under his arm. Yan Zi entered the palace and stood for a while. Gong Jing said, "strange! It snowed for three days, but it was not cold. " Yan Zi replied, "Isn't it cold?" Gong Jing smiled. Yan Zi said: "I heard that the ancient sages knew the hunger of others when they were full, the coldness of others when they were warm, and the hardships of others when they were at ease. Now the king doesn't know anyone else. " Gong Jing said, "Well said! I listened to your teachings. " He ordered people to distribute fur coats and food to people who were hungry and cold. Command: When you meet them on the road, don't ask where they are from; See you in the alley, don't ask which one they belong to; Patrol the national statistics and can't remember their names. The hired scholar will be given food for two months, and the sick and sleepy will be given food for two years. Hearing this, Confucius said, "Yan Zi can clarify his wishes, and Gong Jing can implement the moral policy he has realized."

8. Fan Xiang's wife remonstrated and went on strike, asking him why. King Zhuang said, "I don't know what to do with the sage today."
Fan Ji said, "Who is a saint?" The king said, "To Qiu Yu's son." Fan Ji grinned.
Wang asked why. He said: "I am lucky to serve the king with a towel and comb, but I don't want to be exclusive and good at love." I think it hurts Wang Yi. You can join a few people with me.
Today, Qiu Yu's son has been with each other for more than ten years, and he has never been a sage. It is disloyal to know without entering. I don't know, it's unwise. Disloyal and unwise, and virtuous? "Tomorrow, the king told Yu Zi what Fan Ji said, and Qiu Yu kowtowed and said," Just as Fan Ji said. "
So he resigned and went to Sun Shuaifu, where the country was rich and the people were strong, the king of Zhuang proclaimed himself, and Fan Ji was strong. Fan Ji, the wife of Chu Zhuangwang of Chu, was already late when Chu Zhuangwang came back from the next court. Fan Ji asked Chu Zhuangwang why, and Zhuang Wang said, "Today, I talked to a wise prime minister, and before I knew it, it was dark.
Fan Ji said, "Who is this wise prime minister?" The king said, "It's Qiu Yu's son. Fan Ji put his hand over his mouth and smiled.
Wang asked her why she was laughing. Fan Ji said: "I am lucky to serve the king, not because I don't want to be favored by the king, but because I think it will damage the image of the king.
Therefore, I can recommend several concubines with the same position as me. I heard that Qiu Yu was the prime minister of Chu for more than ten years, but he didn't recommend a good minister. If he knows who is virtuous but doesn't introduce him, then he is unfaithful. If he doesn't know who is moral, then he is unwise.
How can such a disloyal and unwise person be called wise? The next day, Chu Zhuangwang told Qiu Yu what Fan Ji said. Qiu Yu kowtowed and said, "I will do as Fan Ji says." So Qiu Yu resigned and recommended Sun Shuai as the prime minister of Chu. Under Sun Shuai, Chu became rich and powerful.
Thanks to Fan Ji, Chu Zhuangwang finally became the overlord.
