Guan Zhong was a native of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. He is handsome, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has the ability to help the country and the world. When he was young, he did business with Bao and made money. Guan Zhong always took more. Everyone is very angry. Bao said, "Guan Zhong is not a greedy man. He takes more because his family is poor. I am willing to let him take more. " Later, Guan Zhong joined the army. Every time he fought, he shrank back and ran to the front. Others called him a coward. Only Bao said, "Guan Zhong has an old mother who needs his support. He is not the kind of person who will seize the opportunity. He will certainly achieve great results. " Guan Zhong was very moved by these words and said, "My parents gave birth to me, but it is Bao Shu Ya who really understands me!" From then on, the two of them became friends of life and death.
It is said that Qi Xianggong has two sons. The eldest son is Jiao, and his mother is from Shandong. The youngest son is Xiao Bai, and his mother is from Juguo. Guan Zhong said to Bao, "After death, either Jiao succeeded to the throne or he succeeded to the throne. Now we will teach Jiao and Jiao respectively. No matter who is the monarch, we will recommend each other. " Bao thought it was a good idea, so Guan Zhong became Gong Zijiu's teacher and Bao became his teacher.
Qi Xianggong was a bad king and was killed by the minister. At that time, Gong Zijiu was in Lu and Ju. Now the ministers have decided to welcome Miyako back to China as a monarch for a long time.
Lu sent someone to send omiya home for a long time, and Ju sent someone to send childe home. Guan Zhong was afraid that Xiaobai would return to China first, so he caught up with Xiaobai, the son, and shot him with an arrow. The son pretended to be shot by an arrow, deceived Guan Zhong, and then hurried back to Qi with his bag to be king, that is.
Duke Zhuang of Lu was very angry when he heard that his son Xiao Bai had become a monarch. He sent troops to attack Qi, but he was defeated and returned. Under the pressure of Qi, Lu killed Jiao and sent Guan Zhong back to Qi.
Qi Huangong wants Bao to be prime minister. Bao Shu Ya said, "Guan Zhong is a very talented person. He is ten times better than me. I hope your majesty will not hate him for shooting arrows at you and let him be the prime minister. " Qi Huangong thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go and see what he can do first."
Qi Huangong chose one day to personally take Guan Zhong to the palace, and Guan Zhong and Qi Huangong talked about his strategy of governing the country. Guan Zhong made it very clear that Qi Huangong listened with relish. They talked for three days and nights. Qi Huangong was very happy, so he handed over all the state affairs to Guan Zhong and called him "Wen Zhong".
After Guan Zhong's death, Bao became prime minister, and Bao said, "I am too clear about good and evil to be competent." In order to make Bao a prime minister, he drove three of his favorite villains out of the palace gate and became a prime minister.
Revelation: When friends meet, it is very important to know each other. Without Bao's mind, Guan Zhong may be hard to go down in history, but without Guan Zhong's great talent, Bao may always be just a businessman. Without Guan Zhong and Bao, Qi Huangong might not have achieved the great cause of "conquering the world with the ambition of nine kings" and become the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.
