Ancient celebrity eloquence story 1: lovely Confucius
Confucius, a great thinker, led his disciples around the world to lobby for his political ideas.
One day, I came to Weiguo and lived in a home called Eat. Gong Ling, the monarch of Wei, had a beautiful woman named Nanzi. She worshipped Confucius and wanted to meet him. She sent someone to Confucius to say: Gentlemen from all countries who want to make friends with our monarch will definitely meet our wife Nanzi, and our wife Nanzi also wants to meet you. Confucius declined politely and made some polite remarks, so he had to go with everyone.
Mrs. Nanzi sat in the curtain and waited. Confucius kowtowed and bowed after entering the door, and the beautiful Mrs. Nanzi bowed in her tent. When she acted, the Yu Pei she wore made a tinkling sound, which made the respectful Confucius feel heartbroken.
Afterwards, Confucius was a little embarrassed to see his disciple again and explained to himself: I didn't want to see her at all. Since I have to, I have to give her a present.
Lutz didn't like to listen, so Confucius swore that if I was wrong, God would definitely reject me! God must hate me!
Ancient celebrity eloquence story 2: Qi Xi recommended talents
During the Warring States Period, Qi Xi, the deputy commander of China's army in the State of Jin, was unable to do his job because of his old age and infirmity, so he asked Duke Mourn of Jin to resign from his post and let someone with both ability and political integrity take over.
Jin Wengong agreed and asked him: It is an important position of Wei. Who do you think is the most suitable to replace you?
Qi confidently replied: I think Xie Hu is the most suitable substitute. Duke Xiang of Jin was frightened, saying, Xiehu? Isn't he your personal enemy? Qi Xi said: you asked who is the most suitable, but you didn't ask who is my enemy! Jin Wengong nodded and appointed Xie Hu as lieutenant. Who knows that Xie Hu has not yet taken office, and suddenly he will die of illness. Jin Xianggong was very sorry. He announced Qi Xi to the temple and asked: Who else do you think can do this?
Ancient celebrity eloquence story 3: Sui Tang lived up to his mission
During the Warring States period, countries competed for hegemony and invaded each other. In order to make themselves invincible, a large number of advisers and debaters who are good at rhetoric came into being.
One day, the king of Qin sent someone to tell Anlingjun that the State of Qin was willing to exchange 500 miles of land for Anling. An Lingjun said, "It's very kind of you to take care of the king and change the big one into the small one." ! However, our land has been handed down from generation to generation, and I dare not change it. The king of Qin was very unhappy when he learned that. In order to persuade the king of Qin, Ling Jun sent Sui Tang to the State of Qin.
Sui Tang came to the state of Qin to see the king of Qin. The King of Qin proudly said to Sui Tang: I traded 500 Li for Anling, but Anling Jun refused me. What is the reason? Besides, Qin destroyed South Korea and Wei, and Anlingjun only exists 50 miles away, because he is a cautious man, so I don't care about him. Now I use ten times the land to expand Anlingjun's territory, but he doesn't listen to me. Isn't this contempt for me?
Sui Tang said: No, that's not the case. The land that An Lingjun inherited from his ancestors should be protected forever, even if he took 65,438+0,000 miles of land, not to mention only 500 miles. !
The king of Qin was very angry and said, Have you ever heard that the son of heaven is angry?
Sui Tang said: I have never heard of it. The king of Qin said: When the Emperor was angry, millions of corpses were lying everywhere, bleeding thousands of miles! Sui Tang said: Has your majesty ever heard that people in clothes are angry? The king of Qin said that when people in cloth get angry, they throw their hats away, barefoot and bump their heads on the ground!
Sui Tang said: This is the anger of ordinary people, not the anger of scholars. Once upon a time, when Zhuan Xu assassinated Wu Wangliao for Gongziguang, a comet hit the moon; When Han was killed after Yan Zhongzi, Bai Hong crossed his grandson; When the assassin was about to leave Wu Wangliao's son Qing Ji, the goshawk pounced on the temple. These three men were dressed, and before their anger reached its peak, God gave them a revelation. Now with me, I will be the fourth person. If people who wear cloth must be angry, although there are only two bodies lying on the ground and only five steps of bleeding, everyone wants Dai Xiao. Now is the time! Say that finish, pull out the sword, jump up.
The king of Qin turned pale with fear, knelt down, apologized to Sui Tang, and said, Please sit down. I see, Han and Wei are extinct, and the reason why Anling can only survive for fifty miles is because your husband is here!
Ancient celebrity eloquence story 4: Tang Xianzu ridiculed and exposed ugliness
In the five years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhang bribed the poet Sao Shi and flattered his son in the ruling and opposition circles in order to get his son Zhang to the top. At the same time, he secretly intends to let Tang Xianzu, a Linchuan genius who came to take the exam, take the second place, ranking behind his son as a cushion to raise his son's worth. So Zhang sent his cousin Zhang Juzhi to see Tang Xianzu. Zhang Juzhi didn't learn anything, but he wanted to show off his talent. When he met Tang Xianzu, he smiled: The fairy land of Tang Caizi was the place where pen names were born, so Wang Bo wrote in Preface to Wang Tengting,' According to the pen of Sichuan? A beautiful sentence. If Tang Caizi brings several branches to Beijing, can I feast my eyes? Hearing this, Tang Xianzu couldn't help laughing: As far as I know, Wang Bo's topic is' Lighting Linchuan's Pen'? It refers to Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, not Linchuan's brush.
Zhang Juzhi made a joke and was embarrassed, but he still had the cheek to say: My brother Zhang advocates making friends with literature and hopes that his son can make friends with talented people.
Tang Xianzu sarcastically said: The prime minister is the son and nephew in the imperial examination hall. I only know that Qin Gui in the Southern Song Dynasty did such a scandal. He asked Chen Zimao, the examiner, to take his grandson Qin Yun as the first place, but Chen Zimao did not hesitate to take Lu You as the first place when discussing the examination paper. Qin Gui became a laughing stock. Then Qin Gui is a treacherous court official, and it is not surprising that dancing in private has disadvantages. Prime Minister Zhang is a famous contemporary minister. He won't make this decision, will he? A seat spit front dew sharp words, Zhang Ju blushed, jaw-dropping.
As a result, Tang Xianzu tried, and even the court exam was disqualified. Back in Linchuan, Fuzhou magistrate personally greeted Wen Zhang Qiao and praised him: Although you didn't win, you are more glorious than the first place in the exam.
