Character story
According to Records of the Twenty-sixth Biography of the Assassin in Historical Records, Yu Rang once worked for Fann and BOC in big noble, but he has never been reused, so he is not famous. Later, Jade Jean left them to Zhi Bo, and Zhi Bo respected and pampered him. Later, Zhibo crusaded against Zhao Xiangzi, only to be wiped out by Zhao Xiangzi, Han Kang and Wei Huanzi, and the land was carved up in Zhibo. Zhao Xiangzi hated Zhi Bo so much that he cut off Zhi Bo's head and painted it to make a wine vessel. Yu Rang fled to the mountains and said, "A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman makes up for a loved one. Zhibo is the person who knows me best and trusts me most. I must avenge Zhibo. If I can die, my soul will not be ashamed. " So he changed his name and surname, disguised as a condemned criminal, went to Zhao Xiangzi's palace to paint the toilet wall, and hid a dagger in his body, looking for an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi. One day, when Zhao Xiangzi went to the toilet, he suddenly felt something. He sent someone to catch the man who soiled the toilet and interrogate him. He found that this man was actually Yu Rang, with a dagger in his body, threatening to avenge Zhi Bo. Guards around Zhao Xiangzi tried to kill him. Zhao Xiangzi said, "This man is an honest man, so we should be careful in the future. Moreover, after Zhi Bo's death, there are no descendants, and his subjects want to avenge him, which is a rare sage in the world. " Yurang was finally released.
After a while, Yurang drew it again, which made his skin boil and his body changed. He deliberately swallowed charcoal and burned his throat, and his voice was hoarse and unrecognizable. He begged in the market and even his wife didn't know him. On the way, a good friend recognized Yurang. When he saw him, he cried and said to him, "With your talent, if you take refuge in Zhao Xiangzi and work for him, Zhao Xiangzi will approach you. Isn't it easy for you to assassinate him when he is close to you? Why do you want to hurt your body? Isn't it difficult for you to take revenge on Zhao Xiangzi in this way? " Yu Rang said, "Since you trust others, work for others and want to kill him, you are serving him with two hearts. I know that my practice is extremely difficult, but the reason for doing so is to make those who serve the monarch wholeheartedly feel ashamed. "
Soon, when Jade Jean learned that Zhao Xiangzi was going out, he hid under the bridge that Zhao Xiangzi must pass, waiting for an opportunity. Zhao Xiangzi came to the bridge and suddenly the horse screamed. Zhao Xiangzi said, "It must be Yurang under the bridge." Send someone off the bridge to arrest and ask questions. It was Yu Rang. So Zhao Xiangzi asked Yu Rang, "Didn't you work in Fann and BOC at first? When Zhi Bo destroyed them, you did not avenge them, but took refuge in Zhi Bo. Since Zhi Bo is dead, why do you try your best to avenge him? " Yu Rang replied: "When I was working for Fann and BOC, they treated me like an ordinary person, so I also repaid them like an ordinary person. As for Zhi Bo, he treats me like an outstanding person, and I treat him like an outstanding person. " Hearing this, Zhao Xiangzi was moved to tears and said, "Yurang! What you have done for Zhibo has made you famous. I've forgiven you once, that's enough. It's up to you now. I can't let you go any more. " So he ordered the soldiers to surround Yu Rang.
Although Yurang was surrounded, he still said calmly: "I heard that wise kings don't bury the advantages of others, and loyal ministers have to sacrifice for morality." Last time, you forgave me and everyone praised your wisdom. Today, I should have died, but I ask you to give me one of your clothes and let me stab some swords on it. This is revenge, so I will die without regret! I dare not expect you to promise, but I dare say what I want to say. " Zhao Xiangzi admired Yurang's kindness so much that he was given a dress. Jade let drew his sword, jumped a few times, stabbed the dress and said, "I can finally repay Zhi Bo's kindness to meet him in the grave." Then he committed suicide and died.
According to the biography of Han Su Wu, in the first year of Tianhan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Su Wu to the Xiongnu as a corps commander to escort the Xiongnu emissary detained by the Han Dynasty back to China. Su Wu and John Zhang, deputy corps commander, went with hundreds of guards who often benefited from envoys to complete the task. Khan is preparing to send someone to escort Su Wu and others back to the Han Dynasty, which coincides with the fact that Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and Yu Chang conspired to kidnap Khan's mother E Shi in Xiongnu in order to go to the Han Dynasty. Yu Chang was an old acquaintance with John Zhang in the Han Dynasty. He privately appealed to John Zhang for support, and John Zhang agreed. After more than a month, the plot failed, Gou Jian and others died in the battlefield, and Yu was often captured alive. John Zhang heard the news and worried that what Yu Chang had said before would be exposed, so he told Su Wu the whole story. Su Wu said: "If things come to this, I will definitely be implicated. If I die because of being violated, I am very sorry for the country. " Su Wu tried to commit suicide to thank the country, but John Zhang and Chang Hui stopped him. For John Zhang, danger always exists. Khan was furious and wanted to kill all the ambassadors. Zuo Yizhi objected that all should surrender.
Khan sent Wei Lv, commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty, to interrogate Su Wu. Su Wu didn't want to condescend to disgrace himself, so he drew his sword and stabbed himself. Lv Wei got a fright, hugged Su Wu and sent a swift horse to find a witch doctor. The witch doctor dug a hole in the ground, lit a fire in the hole, put Su Wu on the hole, and gently stepped on his back to let the blood flow out. Su Wu's breath has been cut off, and it took half a day to regain it. Chang Hui and others cried and drove Su Wu back to the camp. Khan respected Su Wu's moral integrity, sent someone to greet Su Wu in the morning and evening, but imprisoned John Zhang.
Su Wu gradually recovered, Khan sent messengers to surrender, and tried Yu Chang at the same time, hoping to make Su Wu surrender. Lv Wei beheaded Yu Chang in front of Su Wu and John Zhang, then raised his sword and stabbed John Zhang. John Zhang surrendered. He raised his sword and threatened to hit Su Wu, but Su Wu was unmoved. Seeing that threats were useless, Wei Fa changed to inducements. After Su Wu surrendered to Xiongnu, he used his wealth title to induce him. Wei Law also said that if Su Wu surrendered, he could be brothers with Su Wu, otherwise it would not be easy to meet again. Su Wu cursed: "You are a courtier, ignoring kindness, betraying your relatives, surrendering to barbarians and becoming a prisoner. Why should I see you? " Besides, Khan trusts you and lets you decide people's life and death. You can't enforce the law fairly, but you want two monarchs to fight and see if the disaster succeeds or fails. "Report khan, Su Wu, after all, is not coercion. Khan wanted Su Wu to become more and more rebellious, so he imprisoned Su Wu in a big cellar and didn't give him food. It is raining and snowing all over the world. Su Wu lay chewing snow and swallowed it with felt wool to quench his thirst. After a few days, the Huns thought he was a god, so they moved Su Wu to Beihai to let him graze the ram, saying that he could not return to the Han Dynasty until the ram gave birth to a lamb. After Su Wu arrived in Beihai, the situation was very difficult. He didn't provide food, but when he was hungry, he dug up the fruit collected by the wild rats to satisfy his hunger. Whether living or herding sheep, Su Wu relies on the Han Festival, so that all the hair on the Beijing Festival falls off.
A few years after Zhao Di ascended the throne, the Huns approached the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty sought Su Wu and others. Xiongnu lied that Su Wu was dead. Later, the Chinese envoy went to Xiongnu again, and when he learned that Su Wu was not dead, he lied that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shot a wild goose in Shanglinyuan, and its feet were tied with silk, saying that Su Wu and others were in a river. Khan was very surprised and returned to Su Wu. Su Wu lived in Xiongnu for nineteen years and returned to Chang 'an in the spring of the sixth year of Emperor Zhao. In the second year of Xuan Di's knighthood, Su Wu died at the age of eighty. Xuan Di painted his image in Qilin Pavilion in recognition of his moral integrity.

Sima Qian shaped Rang into a national scholar and praised him as a righteous man who "does not deceive his ambition and will be famous for future generations". Fang Xiaoru's On Yurang criticized Yurang's behavior, arguing that although he was loyal, he had the courage to die rashly for Zhi Bo, which was really unwise.
Confucius said: "People with lofty ideals are benevolent, and some people commit suicide and become benevolent, but they do not exist and harm benevolence." He also said, "Let it be used on all sides, and it will not disgrace your life." When Su Wu returned to the Han Dynasty, Li Ling gave a banquet to congratulate him, saying, "Now I have returned to China in one step, and I have made great achievements in the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty. Although carrying ancient bamboo and silk, painted by Dan Qing, how can I surpass Qing Zi! " Su Wu sacrificed his prime of life, adhered to moral integrity, and achieved the reputation of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism.

Character story
According to Yan Ce in the Warring States Policy, in 3 14 BC, Qi Xuanwang took advantage of the civil strife in Yan State to send troops and occupy the territory of Yan State, which was almost destroyed by Qi State. Zhao Haoqi ascended the throne to rectify the defeated Yan State. He lowered his status, paid a lot of money to recruit talents from all over the world, and revitalized Yan State to avenge the invasion of Qi State. So, when I went to see Mr. Guo Kun, I said, "Qi took advantage of the chaos to attack Yan. I know very well that the state of Yan is weak and not enough for revenge. But my wish is to let the wise men jointly govern the country and wash away the shame suffered by the former king. May I ask you, sir, how can you retaliate with the strength of a country? " Guo Kun replied: "The emperor gets along with his teacher, the king gets along with his friends, the tyrant gets along with his courtiers, and the ruined king gets along with his servants and villains. Those who have wronged their own ideas to serve the sages, face the north and accept teaching modestly will come with a hundred times stronger ability than themselves. Run in front of others, rest behind others, consult in front of others, be silent behind others and don't ask questions, then people who are ten times stronger than themselves will come. When you meet each other, others will meet you soon, and you will meet you soon, so people who are quite capable will come. Leaning on the table, leaning on crutches, squinting and pointing to let others do things, the servant came. If you are arrogant and overbearing, you can yell at people, then criminals and slaves serving sentences will come. This is the way of seeking talents by taking the right path in ancient times. If Wang can recruit domestic sages and visit them in person, the world will know that Wang has visited those sages, and the sages in the world will come to Yan. "
After hearing this, Zhao Haoqi asked, "Who should I visit?" Guo Kun said: "I heard that there was once a monarch who was willing to buy a maxima with his daughter, but three years later, he still didn't buy it." A court cleaner volunteered to help buy a horse. The monarch sent him to buy horses. Three months later, I bought a swift horse, but the horse died, so I bought the head of the dead horse with 500 gold and reported it to the monarch when I went back. The monarch was very angry and said,' What I want is a live horse. How can it be a dead horse? Also spent 500 gold? The man who cleaned the court replied,' A dead horse costs 500 gold, let alone a live horse. The world must think that the king is willing to pay a high price for a horse, and the swift horse is coming now. So in less than a year, I bought some swift horses. Now, if the king really wants to recruit wise men, start with me; I am still respected, not to mention those who are more talented than me? Could they be too far away from Yan? "So Wang Zhao built Huang Jintai for Guo Kui and regarded it as his teacher. When the news came out, it came from Wei, Zou Yan from Qi and the drama from Zhao Guolai. Talented people are attracted by the wind.
Yan Zhaowang tried to mourn the dead, sympathize with the living and share joys and sorrows with the people. After twenty-eight years of hard work, Yan became rich and strong, with comfortable soldiers and not afraid of war. So he took Le Yi as the general and joined forces with Qin, Chu and Sanjin (Korea, Zhao and Wei) to attack Qi. Qi was defeated and Qi Min escaped. Yan Jun pursued the defeated soldiers of Qi alone, went deep into Linzi, the capital of Qi, plundered all the treasures of Qi, and burned the palaces and ancestral temples of Qi. Only two cities, Ju and Jimo, were left, and Qi was not captured.
According to Biography of Su Yijian in Song Dynasty and Biography of Yan Yu in Shilin, one day, Emperor Taizong personally went to the academy, wrote the word "Yutangsi" in white on the red Luo, gave it to him and said, "Mei Qing lives in the land of Tsinghua." Su Yijian made these four words into a plaque and hung it in the hall. Han Biao, Bi and Li Zhi all came to watch. When Emperor Taizong knew about it, he sent China's emissary to give a banquet, and all the participants wrote poems in praise. Emperor Taizong said, "The monarch and ministers will be together for a thousand years." Yi Jian said to him, "Loyalty and filial piety are one heart." Emperor Taizong was very happy when he heard this, so he gave him all the gold wares at the banquet.

The political clarity of a country needs the assistance of excellent generals and wise men in addition to wise rulers. Therefore, Ren Jun has admired the virtuous corporal since ancient times and sought talents at all costs in order to rule the world and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. Yan Zhaowang listened to Guo Kui's suggestion that "money buys bones" and built the Huang Jintai to attract talents, thus making Yan rich and strong. Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage and invited Zhuge Liang to win three points in the world. A good soldier is enough to rejuvenate the country, otherwise, the traitors will defeat the country. How can politicians not pay attention to it?
