1, Prince of Zhou Youwang bonfire drama

There is a favorite princess in Zhou Youwang, whose name is Bos. In order to win her smile, Zhou Youwang ordered more than 20 beacon towers near the capital to light bonfires, which was a signal from the border police. It can only be lit when foreign enemies invade and need to call the princes for help.

As a result, as soon as the princes saw the bonfire, they led the soldiers to arrive in a hurry, realized that it was a trick set by the king to smile at his wife, and then left angrily. I finally smiled happily when I saw the usually prestigious princes at a loss. Five years later, you Yi attacked Zhou on a large scale, and the bonfire of you Wang was rekindled, but no one wanted to be fooled again until the princes arrived. As a result, you Wang was forced to commit suicide and was praised and captured.

Let a tree represent this letter

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Shangyang presided over the political reform with the support of Qin Xiaogong. At that time, at a time of frequent wars and panic, in order to establish prestige and promote reform, Shang Yang ordered a 30-foot-long wood to be erected outside the south gate of the capital, and made a promise in public: who can move this wood to the north gate and reward twelve taels of silver.

None of the onlookers believe that such an easy thing can get such a high reward, so no one is willing to try. So Shang Yang raised the reward to 50 gold. Under the four rewards, there must be brave people. Finally someone stepped forward and carried the wood to the north gate. Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty gold. Shang Yang's move established prestige in the hearts of the people, and Shang Yang's next reform was quickly popularized in Qin State. The new law made the State of Qin stronger and eventually unified China.

3. Break your word and get fat

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Meng, a doctor of Lu, always broke his promise and was very dissatisfied with him. On one occasion, a banquet was held in Wu, and Meng attended as usual. A minister named Guo Zhong was also present. This one is very fat, and he is usually loved by Aigong, so he is often insulted by jealousy. This time, Meng took the opportunity of toasting Ai Gong and said to him, "What did you eat to be so fat?"

Lu Aigong was disgusted and answered instead of Guo Zhong: "If you break your word, you won't be fat!" This sentence is clearly a satire on Meng's habit of breaking his word, but at the banquet, in front of the ministers and from the mouth of the monarch, Meng suddenly blushed and felt extremely embarrassed.

4. Qi Xianggong broke his word.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Xianggong sent a general to guard Guishan. Lian asked, "When will we come back?" It was watermelon season at that time. While eating melons, Qi Zhuanggong said, "Send someone to replace you when eating melons next year."

A year later, Qi Xianggong forgot to make an appointment. Father had to send back a melon and ask for a timely replacement. Qi Xianggong was very angry. After calming down, he said to the melon delivery man, "They want to come back and wait until the melon is ripe." He even said that Guan Xiang was angry and resentful when he saw Qi Xianggong's promises. Later, the two of them joined the rebellion and killed Qi Xianggong.

Qi Xianggong broke his word and was eventually overthrown and killed. Tell us that people should keep their promises, and since we have promised others, we must honor our promises. If you don't keep your promise, you will break it.

5. Ceng Zi kills pigs

One sunny morning, Ceng Zi's wife finished washing and put on a clean blue cloth, ready to go to the market to buy something. She didn't go far from home, and her son kicked her out from behind in tears, clamoring to follow. The child is not big, and the market is far from home, so it is inconvenient to take him.

So Ceng Zi's wife said to her son, "Go back and wait at home. I'll be back as soon as I finish shopping. Don't you like to eat pig's trotters and pork intestines stew? I'll kill the pig and cook it for you when I come back. " This also works. Hearing this, the son immediately quieted down and watched his mother leave alone.

When Ceng Zi's wife came back from the market, she heard the sound of catching pigs in the yard before she set foot in the house. When she walked in the door, she saw that it was Ceng Zi, and she was preparing to kill the pig to make good food for her son. She hurried forward to stop her husband and said, "There are only a few pigs at home, and they are all killed on holidays.

How can you take my words of coaxing children seriously? "Ceng Zi said," you can't lie in front of the children. They are young and ignorant, they often learn knowledge and listen to their parents. If we say anything to deceive him now, it is tantamount to teaching him to deceive others in the future. Although the mother can fool the child for a while, she won't believe her when she knows that she has been cheated.

In this way, it is difficult for you to educate your children well. "Ceng Zi's wife felt that her husband's words were very reasonable, so she sincerely helped Ceng Zi kill pigs, remove hair, remove bones and cut meat. Soon, Ceng Zi's wife cooked a sumptuous dinner for her son.
