When someone offended Qi Jinggong, Gong Jing was very angry and ordered him to be tied up in the hall, ready to be dismembered and put to death, and said that if anyone dared to dissuade him, he would be shot. Yan Zi (that is, Yan Ying) holds the prisoner's head in his left hand and the knife in his right. He looked up and asked Gong Jing, "I wonder who started the ancient custom of dismembering prisoners?" Gong Jing immediately stood up and said, "It's my fault to let him go."
During the period of Gongwang, there were many articles in criminal law. One day, when Gong Jing was traveling, he saw a pair of shoes worn by tortured people (shoes worn by criminals with their feet cut off). Duke Jing of Jin asked Yan Zi, "Xian Qing lives near the market. Do you know whether shoes are expensive or ordinary shoes? " Yan Zi replied, "It's very expensive."
Duke Jing of Jin suddenly realized and ordered the abolition of strangulation (cutting off the feet of criminals in criminal law)
Zou Ji satirized Qi Wang Nengchen.
Zou Ji is more than eight feet tall, gorgeous and beautiful. One morning, he put on his coat and hat and said to his wife in the mirror, "Who is more beautiful in the north of the city than Xu Gong?" His wife said, "You are very beautiful. How can Gong compare with you! " "Xu Gong in the north of the city is a handsome man of Qi. Zou Ji didn't believe that he would be more beautiful than Xu Gong, so he asked his concubine, "Who is more beautiful than Xu Gong?" I said, "how can I compare with you Gong? "The next day, a guest visited from outside. Zou Ji sat talking to him. Zou Ji asked the guest, "Who is more beautiful than Xu Gong? The guest said, "Xu Gong is not as beautiful as you." . "Another day, Xu Gong came to visit. (Zou Ji) looked at it carefully and felt that it was not as beautiful as him. Looking at myself in the mirror, I feel that I am far behind others. In the evening, he lay in bed and thought about it, saying, "My wife thinks I am beautiful, but she is partial to me;" "I think I am beautiful and afraid of me; The guests think I am beautiful and want something from me. "
So Zou Ji went to appear before Qi Weiwang. I know I'm not as beautiful as Xu Gong. But my wife is partial to me, my concubine is afraid of me, and my guests want something from me. They all think I am more beautiful than Xugong. In today's Qi State, the land is thousands of miles away in Fiona Fang, and there are 120 cities. The concubines in the palace and the near ministers around them all have a preference for the king. There is no minister in the imperial court who is not afraid of the king; There is nothing in China that people don't want from the king: from this point of view, the king must have been cheated badly. "
Qi Weiwang said, "That's good." So I gave an order: "all ministers, officials and those who can criticize my mistakes face to face will be given excellent rewards;" Those who can write to me and make suggestions will get a medium salary; Those who can criticize and discuss my mistakes in public places where people gather and can spread them to my ears will win the next award. As soon as the decree came out, all the ministers came to discuss it, and the palace gate was bustling like a city. "。 After a few months, sometimes people occasionally give advice. A year later, even if I want to make a suggestion, there is nothing to say.
Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and other countries came to the State of Qi to appear before the King of Qi. This is what people call the imperial court to defeat the enemy.
Xun Xiang remonstrated.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Ling of Jin was greedy for pleasure and sent his minister Tu An to build a nine-story Qiongtai for him. Afraid of being dissuaded, he ordered: "Whoever dares to give an idea will be beheaded!" Minister Xun came to see you. In order to stop Xun's dissuasion, he ordered the warriors to bend their bows and arrows. As soon as Xun started to protest, he immediately shot him to death. After seeing it, Xun pretended to be relaxed and said to Duke Ling of Jin: "I came to see the King of Jin today, but I dare not advise you. I just came to perform a stunt for you. I can build 12 block, and then build 9 eggs without collapsing. " Hearing this, Xun was invited to perform. Xun first made 12 pieces, and then added eggs one by one. When Jin Linggong saw it, he shouted "Danger". Xun said slowly, "what's the danger? What could be more dangerous than this? " Jin Linggong asked him what was more dangerous. Xun said to him, "Your Majesty, if you build a nine-story platform, there will be no one to farm the land in China and the national treasury will be empty. Once foreign enemies invade, the country will be in danger. Isn't it more dangerous? " Hearing this, Jin Linggong woke up and immediately ordered to stop this nine-story platform project.
