During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qi Huangong of Qi and Guan Zhong, the prime minister, crusaded against the solitary bamboo country and were deceived into the desert by the enemy. Look at the night again, but I see a vast expanse of flat sand, dark fog, cold and mournful groups of crying ghosts, and hate Taiwan. Guan Zhong said: "I have heard for a long time that there is a dry sea in the north, which is extremely powerful. This is the place, so I can't move forward. " Urgent education makes the army retreat and bring fire. When it meets the wind, it will be extinguished and it will not burn. The accompanying sergeants played golden drums, one to protect Yin, and the other to make the teams gather together. Seeing the danger in the valley, Guan Zhong urged him to find a way out, but he ran here and there, and there was no way out. Guan Zhong said, "I know the old horse knows the way. Most of them are from Mobei. You can pick some old horses and see where they go. " Duke Huan did as he told him, took some old horses, led them first, and made a detour out of Taniguchi.

Later generations have poems:

Ants can know water horses and know the way, and aliens can help the poor.

Laughing at shallow men is more for their own use, and who can listen to advice without themselves?

Qian Jin mai ma gu

Once upon a time, there was a monarch who liked to play with horses. He wanted a high-priced swift horse. Three years later, there is still no harvest. At this time, a junior courtier in the palace volunteered and said, "Please give me this job!" " "The monarch nodded in agreement. In less than three months, the man found a good horse that traveled thousands of miles every day, but when he wanted to buy a horse, Maxima died. After thinking for a while, he still spent 500 gold to buy back the bones of the dead horse. When he returned to the palace with the bone of a swift horse to answer the king's life, the king was very angry when he saw that it was a horse's bone. "What I want is a live horse. What's the use of buying this dead horse? "Didn't you waste 500 gold!" The courtiers smiled and said, "Please calm down, gold didn't come for nothing. You are willing to pay a high price for a dead horse. When the news spreads, people will believe that you are a monarch who really loves horses, and that you are knowledgeable and trustworthy. In this way, someone will come to offer a horse. " Later, within a year, the monarch really got three maxima offered by others.

Theme: the story of taking deer as a horse

Zhao Gao is partial to others, and all the old ministers are detained (Chu). When the court met, people offered deer to the emperor, pointing high and saying, "This horse is also." The second one smiled and said, "The Prime Minister made a mistake, and this deer is also wrong." Ministers all laughed and dared not raise their voices. Gaigao has the intention of usurping the throne, so he refers to a deer as a horse to test everyone's obedience. After Gao Made, Yan Le, his son-in-law, killed II in Wang Yigong, welcoming Zi Ying, who was in mourning.

[Vernacular] Zhao Gao, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, had great power, and all his old ministers were demoted or dismissed. One morning, when he went on a pilgrimage, he asked someone to present a deer to Emperor Qin Ershi. Zhao Gao pointed to the deer and said, "This is a horse." Qin Ershi smiled and said, "Prime Minister, you are wrong. This is a deer. " Ministers laughed but dared not make any noise. This is what Zhao Gaoyou said about usurping power. The deer you mentioned is a horse, which is used to verify the minister and see who obeys and who does not. Later, Zhao Gao told his son-in-law Yan Le to kill Qin Ershi in Wang Yi Palace and made his son win as emperor.

Zhao She changed his surname to Ma.

Zhao She was a native of Zhao in the Warring States Period. He started as a land official, responsible for collecting land tax, not afraid of power. Zhao Shengjia of Ping Yuanjun, one of the four sons of the Warring States, refused to pay rent, and Zhao She punished him according to law, killing nine of Zhao Shengjia's housekeepers. Later, Zhao She was promoted to the rank of general, and he fought like a god. In 270 BC, Qin Jun attacked the important towns of Zhao, namely Guizhou, Shaanxi and Heshun. He was ordered to rescue and defeat Qin Jun, and was appointed as Ma Fujun for his work. Zhao She's descendants thought that his surname was Ma Su, but later he saved it as Ma Su.

2. How many kinds of prose can an old horse know?

The article "An old horse knows the way" mainly tells one thing: In 679 AD, Qi Huangong reached an agreement with a vassal. However, instead of attending, he told Zheng not to attend either. Qi Huangong was furious, and was discussing with Guan Zhong a crusade against Chu. I didn't expect the Yan state in the north to come here for help, saying that the mountain capacity in the north was coming and the people were dying. From then on, a big war began. With the concerted efforts of Qi Xin from several countries, we finally won the battle. The mountain allowed the people to fall together, and Huang Hua, the general of the solitary bamboo country, led him into the capital of the solitary bamboo country, cheated him into the valley, lost his troops and soldiers. There is a flat sand, just like the sea. You can't tell the southeast from the northwest at a glance. The soldiers were in a hurry and didn't know what to do. At this critical moment, Guan Zhong came up with a way to get everyone out of the valley. I was deeply impressed by this article because Guan Zhong was able to calm down and come up with a way for an old horse to find his way, which ordinary people can't and can't do. He is really a calm, witty and intelligent person, which makes me deeply admire him.

I admire Li Shimin most. Before he ascended the throne, he fought with his father, Tang Yuan, in the north, and repeatedly made meritorious military service. In addition, officials such as Wuji and Fang were promoted. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he was very cautious in handling state affairs, encouraging officials at all levels to speak frankly and not to hide the truth for fear of offending the emperor. Emperor Taizong was not only good at coachable, but also good at employing people. He didn't remember personal grievances. He promoted Wei Zhi, who turned against himself when he was working in the pro-Wangfu, and appointed him as a doctor. He also promoted Ma Zhou, who came from humble origins, to be the secretariat and presided over the important government affairs of the court.

Notes on Old Horse Finding its Way (Ⅱ)

I read an idiom story at home today, telling the old horse to find the way.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong assisted, making Qi the most prosperous country at that time. This idiom tells a story that happened in that period. At that time, the northern ethnic minorities jointly fought against Yan, and Yan was unable to resist, so he had to ask Qi for help. Qi Huangong agreed to Yan's request, so he personally led Guan Zhong and an army to help. After a hard struggle, the border disaster finally subsided. But on the way back, they got lost in the valley. Guan Zhong thought calmly and thought of a good way. He thought: dogs can show the way, so can horses, so he let horses lead the way. Sure enough, they walked out of the valley under the guidance of the horse.

This story tells us that if you encounter difficulties or troubles in your life and work, you might as well ask more experienced people. Some of their suggestions can often play a guiding role and even help you solve the fundamental problem.

Notes on the Old Horse Finding its Way (3)

I watched a set of five thousand years in the summer vacation, which told a lot of historical stories and knowledge, such as Pangu's creation of the world, Shennong's taste of a hundred herbs, Zhuolu War, and the old horse's understanding of the road. These stories not only increased my knowledge, but also added a lot of fun to my fake life.

The story that impressed me the most in this set of books is "An old horse knows the way". The protagonists of this story are Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong. The story mainly tells such a thing: In 679 BC, Qi Huangong joined forces with other countries to attack Shanrong. On the way home in triumph, he was lured into the maze by Huang Hua, the general of the solitary bamboo country. Qi Huangong led his army to transit in the maze for several days without finding the direction. At this critical moment, Guan Zhong came up with a method. He picked some old horses and let them lead the way. Sure enough, the old horses successfully completed the guiding task and led everyone out of the valley. One of the reasons why this story impressed me deeply is that Guan Zhong was able to calm down and take out an old horse to find his way. I deeply admire his calmness, wit and cleverness. He can know that the old horse knows the way, which shows that his careful observation of daily life is also worth learning. The second reason is to let me know that at any time, adults have experienced far more things than us, just like old horses know many roads, we should learn from them and ask them for advice.

3. Allusions about horses: According to legend, the fairy who manages horses in the sky is called Bole.

In the world, people call a person who is good at distinguishing the advantages and disadvantages of horses Bole. The first person is Bole, whose real name is Sun Yang, and he was born in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Because of his excellent research on horses, people forgot his original name and simply called him Bole, which has continued to this day. On one occasion, Bole was entrusted by the King of Chu to buy a good horse that could walk in dry fields every day.

Bole explained to the king of Chu that swift horses are rare and hard to find. He needs to travel around the country. Please rest assured that the king of Chu will try his best to get things done. Bole has traveled to several countries, even Zhao Yan, which is famous for its famous horses, has searched carefully, and it has been difficult to find a good horse.

One day, Bole came back from Qi. On the way, he saw a horse pulling a salt cart and struggling on a steep slope. This horse is tired and it is difficult to take every step.

Bole has always been close to horses and walked towards him involuntarily. When the horse saw Bole approaching, it suddenly raised its head, widened its eyes and screamed loudly, as if to tell Bole something.

Bole immediately judged from his voice that this was a rare good horse. Bole said to the driver, "This horse gallops on the battlefield, and no other horse can match it, but it is not as good as an ordinary horse when it is used to pull a cart."

You might as well sell it to me. "The driver thinks Bole is a big fool. He thinks this horse is so ordinary that he doesn't even have the strength to pull the cart. He ate too much and was thin, so he agreed without hesitation.

Bole led a swift horse and went straight to Chu. Bole led the horse to the Chu Palace, patted the horse on the neck and said, "I found a good master for you."

Like a swift horse, he understood the meaning of Bole, raised his front hoof and giggled, making his neck long, hissing and loud, like a stone pot of a big clock, reaching the sky. The king of Chu heard the neighing of horses and walked out of the palace.

Bole pointed to the horse and said, "Your Majesty, I brought you a swift horse. Please watch carefully. " When the king of Chu saw that the horse led by Bole was so thin, he thought Bole had fooled him and was a little unhappy. He said, "I believe you can look at the horse before buying it, but what kind of horse did you buy?" This horse is difficult to walk. Can it go to war? " Bole said: "this is indeed a swift horse, but it looks very thin after being dragged for a long time and not carefully fed."

As long as you feed carefully, you will recover your strength within half a month. The king of Chu was a little skeptical, so he ordered the groom to feed the horse wholeheartedly. Sure enough, the horse became thin and handsome.

The king of Chu whipped his horse, only to feel that the wind was blowing around his ears and the time for breathing had already run out of a hundred miles away. Later, a swift horse galloped the battlefield for the king of Chu and made great contributions.

The king of Chu has more respect for Bole. The old horse knows the way. In 679 BC, Qi Huangong made a covenant with a dating vassal.

There are three important clauses in the Covenant: the first is to respect King Zhou Li (X ρ); The second is to resist foreign attacks on the Central Plains; The third is to help the weak and difficult princes. More than a dozen vassal States of the Central Plains attended the meeting and concluded a covenant.

The strong is king, and everyone respects Qi Huangong as the overlord. However, there was a big country in the south called Chu (in present-day Hubei), which not only refused to join the Central Plains Alliance, but also dragged Zheng over before letting him join.

Qi Huangong got angry and was discussing with Guan Zhong how to crusade against Chu. Unexpectedly, the northern Yan State (now northern Hebei and western Liaoning) came to Qi for help, saying that Shanrong in the north had come in and Yan State had fought several wars. Seeing that all the people were going to be killed by Shan Rong, he begged the overlord to send his troops to save him. Guan Zhong said to Qi Huangong, "If your master wants to conquer Chu, he must retreat from Shanrong before he can concentrate on dealing with the south."

In 663 BC, Qi Huangong came to Yan with a great army. Shan Rong has escaped.

Guan Zhong said, "Shan Rong left without fighting. When we leave, they will definitely come in and rob again. To stabilize the north, we must defeat Shan Rong. "

Qi Huangong decided to move forward again, but the terrain was unfamiliar and someone had to lead the way. Yan Zhuanggong, the monarch of Yan State, said to Qi Huangong, "Why don't you ask Infinite State (in the northwest of Yutian, Hebei Province) to send troops to help us lead the way?"

Qi Huangong immediately sent an emissary, but Wu promised to be a guide and sent a general and a group of people to support him. After defeating Shan Rong, many young men and women captured by Shan Rong were rescued, and the people of Shan Rong also surrendered to Qi.

The milu deer, the king of Shanrong, fled to the lonely bamboo country (now southeast of Lulong, Hebei Province) to borrow soldiers. Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong decided to attack the solitary bamboo country.

When the army arrived near the solitary bamboo country, they met Milu, the king of Shanrong, and Huanghua, the general of the solitary bamboo country. They were beaten out of the water by the Qi army.

At this time, it was getting late, and the Qi army camped. One day, the soldiers came to see Gu's general Huang Hua.

Qi Huangong saw him kneeling on the ground, holding his head in his hands, pulling his head and saying, "I killed the milu deer, the leader of Shanrong, so that you could surrender to him when you defeated him in the desert. There is no hope in solitary bamboo country. Please let me take you to the answer! " Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong looked at the head carefully for a while, and then asked them to identify it. It's really the head of the milu deer of King Shanrong, leaving yellow flowers.

The next day, the yellow flower led Qi Huangong and Yan Zhuanggong into the capital of the solitary bamboo country, which proved to be an empty city. They believe in yellow flowers more.

So he ordered Yan soldiers to guard the capital of solitary bamboo country and ordered Huang Hua to lead the troops to catch up. Yellow flowers lead the way, a little lanterns, and you will arrive at the place that the locals call the lost valley.

I saw a flat beach, just like the sea. At first glance, there is no edge and no edge, and you can't tell the southeast from the northwest. We all lost our way. Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong were in a rash. They went to ask Huang Hua where there was no sign of him! I know the secret of falling in love with yellow flowers.

It turned out that it was true that Huanghua killed the milu deer, the leader of Shanrong, and the surrender was false. Guan Zhong said, "I'm afraid this is called dry sea. We can't go any further. "

Qi Huangong ordered the withdrawal. It's getting dark and it's winter again. The northwest wind kept blowing, and everyone was shivering with cold. They all froze all night in this endless dark valley.

It's easy to look forward to the morning. Huang Chengcheng is still a flat sand covered with a layer of fog. Where is the road? There's not even a drop of water in this hellhole. If you can't walk out, you will die of thirst. Just as everyone was wondering what to do, Guan Zhong came up with an idea. He said to Qi Huangong, "A horse may know the way.

Let's choose some chess pieces.

4. Guan's story clock, also known as Yiwu, was born in Yingshang (now Yingshang County, Anhui Province).

His ancestors are descendants of the surname Ji, and they are of the same clan as the Zhou royal family. My father, Guan Zhuang, was a doctor in the State of Qi. Later, his family came down, and he was already poor when he arrived in Guan Zhong.

In order to make a living, Guan Zhong became a humble businessman at that time. He has been to many places, met all kinds of people, seen a lot of the world and accumulated rich social experience.

He tried several times to be an official, but failed. Guan Zhong has a good friend named Bao, and their friendship is very deep.

They do business together. When Guan Zhong makes money in business, he always gives himself more and less packages.

Bao never argued with Guan Zhong about this issue. People secretly say that Guan Zhong is greedy for money and doesn't care about friendship. After Bao knew it, he explained for Guan Zhong that Guan Zhong was not indifferent to friendship, but greedy for money. He did it because his family was poor, and I was willing to give him more money.

Guan Zhong called three times, but he escaped all three times. So people laughed at him, saying that Guan Zhong was afraid of death and had no spirit of brave sacrifice. Hearing this sneer, Bao knew that this was not in line with the actual situation of Guan Zhong, so he explained to people that Guan Zhong was not afraid of death, because his family had an old mother and he had to rely on him to support himself, so he had to do that.

The friendship between Guan Zhong and Bao is very sincere. He also tried many times to do something good for Bao, but all failed. It not only failed, but also caused many new difficulties to the package. It is better not to do it well. Therefore, people think that Guan Zhong has no ability to do things, but Bao doesn't think so. He knows in his heart that his friend Guan Zhong is a very capable person.

Things didn't work out because the time was not ripe. In the long-term exchanges, the two have forged a profound friendship. Guan Zhong told people many times that my parents gave birth to me and Bao Shu Ya knew me.

In 674 BC, Qi Huangong Xi died, leaving three sons, Prince Pearl, Gongzi Jiu and Xiaobai. After the death of Qi Huangong, Prince Zhu succeeded to the throne.

Although the son of the prince is in the throne, his quality is despicable, and the future of Qi makes senior officials in the DPRK deeply worried. At that time, Guan Zhong and Bao respectively assisted Gong Zijiu and.

A pair of good friends, teaching two sons, are really beautiful. However, Bao is not satisfied with his alliance with the palace. His assistants often say that he can't get sick, "because he thinks that" knowing a son as a father and a minister as a gentleman ".

The monarch knew that Xiao Bai had no hope of inheriting the throne in the future and thought that he had no talent, so he was asked to help Xiao Bai. However, Guan Zhong disagreed. After knowing the inside story, he advised Bao: "China people don't like Gong Zijiu's mother, so they don't like Gong Zijiu himself. On the contrary, they sympathize with Xiaobai because she has no mother.

Those who will rule the State of Qi in the future will be either corrected or made white. Although the son Xiao Bai is not as clever and patient as Gong Zijiu, he is far-sighted.

Not me, Guan Zhong. No one understands Xiao Bai. Miyako will accomplish nothing even if he abolishes his younger brother and becomes a monarch in the future.

Not you, Bao Shu Ya, who will solve this country? So Bao listened to Guan Zhong's suggestion and came out to accept the appointment and try his best to serve. Soon, Qi Xianggong had an affair with Wen Jiang, the wife of his sister Lu Huangong, and killed Lu Huangong after drinking.

In this regard, Guan Zhong and Bao, two people with political foresight, had a premonition that Qi would be in chaos. So they all tried their best to find a way for their master.

Gong Zijiu's mother was Lu Jun's daughter, so Guan Zhonghe protected Gong Zijiu and fled to Lu. Childe Xiaobai's mother is Wei Jun's daughter. Weiguo was too far away from Qi, so Bao and Gongzi ran to the south of Qi to escape.

Although Gong Zijiu and his son Xiaobai went to the south and the west, they all planned to be the same person. They all held their horses and waited for the right moment. In the 12th year of Qi Xianggong (686 BC), civil strife finally broke out in Qi.

His uncle and brother Sun were ignorant and angry at the abolition of his original privileges after he acceded to the throne. They colluded with doctors to break into the palace, killed Qi Xianggong, and established their own monarch status. Sun Ignorant was in office for just over a year, and the nobles of Qi killed Sun Ignorant. At that time, Qi was in chaos and there was no monarch.

As soon as the time is ripe, the two sons who fled abroad want to return home quickly in order to seize the throne of the monarch. After the death of Gongsun Yu, Zhengqing Gaoxi was the most powerful faction to discuss the new king. He and his son Xiaobai have been lovers since childhood.

Gao Xi colluded with another doctor, Shi Guo, and secretly sent someone to Ju Guo to ask his son Xiaobai to return to China to succeed him. After receiving the letter, Bao and I carefully analyzed the domestic situation, and then borrowed a chariot from Juguo to return home day and night.

When Duke Zhuang of Lu learned that Qi had no monarch, he was extremely anxious and immediately sent troops to escort Gong Zijiu back to China. Later, people found that their son Xiaobai had gone home first.

Guan Zhong decided to invite himself first, and led 30 personnel carriers to intercept Xiaobai, the son of Ju State, on his way to Qi State. Passing through Jimo for more than 30 miles, I met a group of childe Xiaobai.

Guan Zhong is very calm. When Xiao Bai's chariots and horses approached, he picked up an arrow and shot at him. He only heard a whistle, an arrow hit him and Xiao Bai fell down. Guan Zhong saw Xiao Bai, the son, shot and killed. Just bring the troops back.

In fact, Xiao Bai is not dead. Guan Zhong hit his bronze belt with an arrow, and Xiao Bai, the son of Guan Zhong, used his quick wits to play dead and fell to the ground. Childe and Bao were frightened, raised their vigilance, and hurried to Qi.

When they came to Linzi, Bao advanced to the city to convince them that Qi Zhengqing, Gao and Guo all agreed to protect their son as the monarch, so they entered the city and succeeded in ascending to the throne. This is the famous Qi Huangong in history. After Qi Huangong acceded to the throne, he was in urgent need of talents, so he was ready to be hired as prime minister.

Bao sincerely said: I am a mediocre person, and now the monarch has benefited me and let me enjoy such a good education. This is the gift of the monarch. If we make Qi rich and strong, I can't do it, and I have to ask Guan Zhong.

Qi Huangong asked in surprise, "Don't you know that he is my enemy? Bao replied: "Objectively speaking, Guan Zhong is a genius in the world. He is clever and can surpass others. "

Qi Huangong asked Bao again, "How does Guan Zhong compare with you?" Bao calmly pointed out: "Guan Zhong has five advantages over me. Leniency and benefit the people; Governance and political stability; Win the trust of the people and win the hearts of the people; Formulate etiquette and weather the world; Rectify the army and be brave and good at fighting. "

Bao persuaded him to let him go again.
