Chunyu Kun)—— In the early days of his rule, he feasted all night, without asking about politics, and entrusted it to Doctor Qing. Countries invaded, the country was in danger, and the close officials around him dared not remonstrate. Chunyu Kun advised the King of Qi, saying, "State-owned big birds will stop the court of the King of Qi. If it doesn't fly and sing for three years, how much does the king know about this bird? " The king said, "This bird can fly without flying. It will be a blockbuster if you don't sing. " As a result, the country's 72 county magistrates were ordered to go to the DPRK to play a role, reward Dr. Jimo, cook and kill Dr. Ayi, and send troops to defend the enemy. Frightened, the governors invaded the land in succession, making them the crown of the Seven Chivalrous Men.

Zou Ji-Zou Ji satirized Chabr, King of Qi: Zou Ji was more than eight feet long and handsome. In the morning, (Zou Ji) put on his coat and hat and said to his wife in the mirror, "Who is more beautiful than Xu Gong in the north of the city?" His wife said, "You are very beautiful. How can Gong compare with you? " Duke Xu in the north of the city is a handsome man of Qi. Zou Ji didn't believe himself (more beautiful than Xu Gong), but asked his concubine, "Who is more beautiful than Xu Gong?" Concubine said: How can you compare with me? The next day, a guest came from outside. Zou Ji sat down with him and asked him, "Who is more beautiful than Xu Gong?" The guest said, "Xu Gong is not as beautiful as you." Another day passed, and Xu Gong came. Zou Ji looked at him carefully and thought he was not as good as Xu Hongmei. Looking at myself in the mirror, I feel far away from Xu Gong. In the evening, when he was lying in bed, he thought about it and said, "My wife praised me for my beauty and was partial to me; I praise my beauty because I am afraid of me; The guest praised me for my beauty and asked me something. "

In this case, Zou Ji went to the court to visit Qi Weiwang and said, "I know I really can't compare with Xu Hongmei. But my wife is partial to me, my aunt is afraid of me, and my guests want to turn to me, so they all think I am more beautiful than Xu Hongmei. Now Qi has a territory of thousands of miles, 120 cities. None of the concubines in the palace and the close ministers around him favored the king, none of the ministers in the DPRK were not afraid of the king, and none of the people in the whole country wanted to ask the king for help. From this point of view, your majesty, you have been deceived too seriously! "

Qi Weiwang said, "Good!" So I gave an order: "ministers and people who can criticize my mistakes face to face will be given generous rewards;" Write to me directly and give me a medium reward; Those who can criticize and discuss my mistakes in crowded public places and spread them to my ears will get inferior rewards. As soon as this order came out, all the ministers came to remonstrate, and the courtyard of the palace gate was as lively as the city. A few months later, occasionally someone protested from time to time; After a full year, even if someone wants to remonstrate, there is nothing to say. Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and other countries all knew about it and went to Qi to worship Qi Weiwang. This is a soldier who lives in the imperial court and defeats others without fighting.

Hehe, Qi Weiwang is good at receiving counseling.
