Zou Ji satirized Qi Wang Nengchen.
Zou Ji is about 54 inches long and has a beautiful image. Get up in the morning, dress up, look in the mirror and say to his wife, "I am better than Xu Gong in the north of the city. Who is more beautiful? " ? "His wife said," you are very beautiful. How does Gong compare with you? "Xugong in the north of the city is the most beautiful man in Qi. Zou Ji didn't believe in himself, so he asked his concubine, "Who is more beautiful than Xugong? " ? " My concubine said: How can Gong be as good as you? The next day, a guest came from outside, sat with him and asked him, "Who is more beautiful than ordinary?" ? The guest said, "Xugong is not as beautiful as you." . "..." Xu Gong will come tomorrow and thinks he is inferior. Look at yourself in the mirror, as far as the horizon. Thinking about it at dusk, I said, "My wife is beautiful and I am private; The beauty of my concubine is afraid of me; The beauty of the guest is me, I want my things. "
So he went to the court to see Wang Wei and said, "I sincerely know that Xu Hongmei is not as good as Xu Hongmei. My wife is a private minister, my concubine is afraid of me, and everything my guests want is more beautiful than Xu Gong. Today, the land is thousands of miles away and there are 120 cities. Ladies-in-waiting are private kings, and courtiers are not afraid of kings. They all want the king to be within four borders: from this point of view, the king is very sheltered. "
Qi Weiwang said, "You speak very well!" ! "He ordered:" Those officials who can stab me in the face should be rewarded; There will be a reward for those who write and exhort me; Those who can slander the city and hear my ears will be rewarded. "At the beginning of the order, the ministers remonstrated and the door was crowded; After a few months, from time to time; Years later, although I wanted to talk, I couldn't get in.
Yan, Zhao, Han and Wei are all Qi people. This is the imperial court, and there is no need to use war to defeat the enemy.
Zou Ji is more than eight feet tall, gorgeous and beautiful. One morning, he put on his coat and hat and said to his wife in the mirror, "Who is more beautiful in the north of the city than Xu Gong?" His wife said, "You are very beautiful. How can Gong compare with you! " "Xu Gong in the north of the city is a handsome man of Qi. Zou Ji didn't believe that he would be more beautiful than Xu Gong, so he asked his concubine, "Who is more beautiful than Xu Gong?" I said, "how can I compare with you Gong? "The next day, a guest visited from outside. Zou Ji sat talking to him. Zou Ji asked the guest, "Who is more beautiful than Xu Gong? The guest said, "Xu Gong is not as beautiful as you." . "Another day, Xu Gong came to visit. (Zou Ji) looked at it carefully and felt that it was not as beautiful as him. Looking at myself in the mirror, I feel that I am far behind others. In the evening, he lay in bed and thought about it, saying, "My wife thinks I am beautiful, but she is partial to me;" "I think I am beautiful and afraid of me; The guests think I am beautiful and want something from me. "
So Zou Ji went to appear before Qi Weiwang. I know I'm not as beautiful as Xu Gong. But my wife is partial to me, my concubine is afraid of me, and my guests want something from me. They all think I am more beautiful than Xugong. In today's Qi State, the land is thousands of miles away in Fiona Fang, and there are 120 cities. The concubines in the palace and the near ministers around them all have a preference for the king. There is no minister in the imperial court who is not afraid of the king; There is nothing in China that people don't want from the king: from this point of view, the king must have been cheated badly. "
Qi Weiwang said, "That's good." So I gave an order: "all ministers, officials and those who can criticize my mistakes face to face will be given excellent rewards;" Those who can write to me and make suggestions will get a medium salary; If you can criticize and discuss my mistakes in a crowded public place, and it can reach my ears, the next prize. As soon as the decree came out, all the ministers came to discuss it, and the palace gate was bustling like a city. "。 After a few months, sometimes people occasionally give advice. A year later, even if I want to make a suggestion, there is nothing to say.
Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and other countries came to the State of Qi to appear before the King of Qi. This is what people call the imperial court to defeat the enemy.
