Drumming people

King Li of Chu made an agreement with the people that if he met the enemy, he would beat the drums and call everyone to guard the city.

One day, King Li was drunk, and he picked up the drumstick and banged it. When the people heard the drums, they all ran in panic. King Li of Chu quickly sent someone to stop him, saying,' I was drunk, playing drums and playing with people around me. This drum is wrong, please go back!'

the people all went back.

After a few months, the enemy really invaded, so King Li quickly beat the drums and sounded the alarm. But the people thought that King Li was joking with everyone again, so no one came to defend the city. King Li had to change the original order and restate the alarm signal, and the people believed it.

moral: never play games on matters of great importance. If you joke about the principle, you will lose your trust in the people and cause great disaster.

Zhou Youwang, for the fight, praised and smiled, and played the vassal with fire. In 772 BC, the Emperor Shen joined forces with dispatch troops, a dog, to invade the Western Zhou Dynasty. You Wang panicked and hurriedly ordered the bonfire of Mount Li to be lit. The bonfire was lit up, but the governors ignored them because they were taken in last time. The local governors refused to help, and the king was defeated. He fled to Lishan Mountain with the praises, servants and other royal treasures, and was later killed. Dog Rong attacked Haojing, and the Western Zhou Dynasty died.

before Shang yang's political reform, the city gate was erected, saying that rewards must be rewarded and establishing trust in the people.

Qi Huangong's honest story can be said that Qi's prosperity is also trustworthy, and its decline is also trustworthy!
