Later, he thought deeply, and felt that his wife was partial to him, my concubine was afraid of him, and the guests wanted something from him, so in order to make him happy, he gave such an answer. It has something to do with the ruling Qi Weiwang. There must be people around him who flatter him in order to get promoted. If Qi Weiwang is kept in the dark and listens to rumors, it will definitely have a bad influence on the country, so he boldly remonstrates and encourages Qi Weiwang to listen and be open and honest.
In fact, recalling the process of Zou Ji's remonstrance, he spoke very skillfully. Comparing the guests of wives and concubines with the officials around Qi Weiwang makes their suggestions well-founded and flesh-and-blood, instead of just listing the harm of Qi Weiwang's not speaking freely. If this means complaining, Qi Weiwang will lose face.
However, to evaluate historical figures, we must look at them historically. Although Zou Ji is handsome and remonstrant, he is narrow-minded. When Tian Ji and Sun Bin returned home from attacking Wei in triumph, because he refused to send troops before, fearing that Tian Ji and Sun Bin had higher prestige than him, they went to a fortune teller to know how to get rid of them. Finally, he suggested to Qi Weiwang that they should be stationed in Linzi. Zou Ji contributed to the victory, but if defeated, both of them will die in the battlefield, and Zou Ji wants the ending. Finally, Tian Ji fled to Chu and Sun Bin lived in seclusion.
