What are the ancient stories of honesty and trustworthiness

The first ruler of the state of Wei during the Warring States period was called Wei Wenhou, and because he treated people with honesty and integrity everywhere, both officials and ordinary people respected him, so the state of Wei quickly became powerful.

Once, he made an appointment with the person who managed the mountains and forests that he had to go to the mountains and forests the next afternoon to hunt and practice.

By the next day, after the court, a banquet was held, and Wei Wenhou was ready to go hunting and practicing troops as soon as the banquet was over, but who knew that after the banquet was over, the sky suddenly started pouring with rain.

The rain didn't stop, but got heavier and heavier, and Marquis Wei got up and said to the ministers, "I'm sorry, I have to say goodbye, quickly prepare the car and horse, I want to go outside the effect of the hunting and practicing, where there are people waiting for me!

As soon as the ministers saw that the king was going out in the rain, they all went up to dissuade him.

When they saw that the king was going out in the rain, some of them went up to discourage him. That one said, "You can't go hunting and practicing even if you go."

Wei Wenhou took a look at the sky and said, "Hunting and practicing is not possible, but we have to tell the person who manages the mountains and forests.

"One of the ministers who volunteered said, "Well then, I will go at once."

Wei Wenhou waved his hand and said, "Slowly, to tell it I must also go myself.

"The man blinked his eyes as if he didn't understand, Wei Wenhou said, "Yesterday it was me who personally made an agreement with the people, and now that I have missed the appointment, I have to personally apologize to the people before I can do so."

After saying this, he took a big step out of the door and went to the residence of the Guanlin people in the pouring rain.

All the ministers said behind the scenes that Wei Wenhou was too stupid, just call a follower to go, why should I personally go?

I think Wei Wenhou is not stupid at all, it is because he is always honest with people, he won the trust of the people, the country can be strong, an ancient king to do things are so honest and trustworthy, but in our society today there are some people do not responsible for doing things against the professional ethics.
