Idiom allusions:

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Meng Changjun of Qi was very fond of making friends with literati and chivalrous men. In order to discuss state affairs with them, Meng Changjun often invites these people to stay at home for a long time. One of them, Feng Xuan, often stays for a long time, but does nothing. Meng Changjun felt very strange, but he still warmly welcomed Feng Xuan.

On one occasion, Feng Xuan went to the snow to collect debts for Meng Changjun, but instead of collecting debts from the local people, he burned all the bonds. People in the snow think this is Meng Changjun's kindness, and they are very grateful to him. Later, Meng Changjun was relieved of his post as prime minister by the King of Qi and settled in Xuedi, which was warmly welcomed. Only then did Meng Changjun know Feng Xuan's talent.

At this time, Feng Xuan, who is not talkative, said to Meng Changjun, "Usually, a clever rabbit has three caves to escape from the hunter in an emergency and avoid death. But you only have one place to hide, and you can't sit back and relax. I am willing to arrange two other hiding places for you. "

So I went to Liang. He said that if Liang can come to help him govern the country, Liang will definitely become stronger. So, King Hui of Liang sent someone to invite Meng Changjun to Liang State, and prepared to let him hold an important position in governing the country. However, Liang's messenger came three times in a row and told him not to promise.

The news that Liang sent someone to manage Liang reached the king of Qi. The king of Qi was in a hurry, so he quickly sent someone to invite Meng Changjun back to Qi as prime minister. Feng Xuan asked Meng Changjun to ask the King of Qi for ancestral sacrificial vessels and put them in the snow. At the same time, he built a temple to ensure the safety in the snow.

After the temple was built, Feng Xuan said to Meng Changjun, "Now your three safe places have been built. From then on, you can raise your pillow and sleep peacefully. "
