Zou Ji is about 54 inches long and has a beautiful image. Get up in the morning, dress up, look in the mirror and say to his wife, "I am better than Xu Gong in the north of the city. Who is more beautiful? " ? "His wife said," you are very beautiful. How does Gong compare with you? "Xugong in the north of the city is the most beautiful man in Qi. Zou Ji didn't believe in himself, so he asked his concubine, "Who is more beautiful than Xugong? " ? " My concubine said: How can Gong be as good as you? The next day, a guest came from outside, sat with him and asked him, "Who is more beautiful than ordinary?" ? The guest said, "Xugong is not as beautiful as you." . "..." Xu Gong will come tomorrow and thinks he is inferior. Look at yourself in the mirror, as far as the horizon. Thinking about it at dusk, I said, "My wife is beautiful and I am private; The beauty of my concubine is afraid of me; The beauty of the guest is me, I want my things. "

So he went to the court to see Wang Wei and said, "I sincerely know that Xu Hongmei is not as good as Xu Hongmei. My wife is a private minister, my concubine is afraid of me, and everything my guests want is more beautiful than Xu Gong. Today, the land is thousands of miles away and there are 120 cities. Ladies-in-waiting are private kings, and courtiers are not afraid of kings. They all want the king to be within four borders: from this point of view, the king is very sheltered. "

Qi Weiwang said, "You speak very well!" ! "He ordered:" Those officials who can stab me in the face should be rewarded; There will be a reward for those who write and exhort me; Those who can slander the city and hear my ears will be rewarded. "At the beginning of the order, the ministers remonstrated and the door was crowded; After a few months, from time to time; Years later, although I wanted to talk, I couldn't get in.

Yan, Zhao, Han and Wei are all Qi people. This is the imperial court, and there is no need to use war to defeat the enemy.

Zou Ji is more than eight feet tall and has a beautiful figure. One morning, he put on his clothes and hat and said to his wife in the mirror, "which is more beautiful, Xu Gong in the north of the city?" His wife said, "You are very beautiful. Xu Gong can't compare with you! " "Xu Gong in the north of the city is a handsome man of Qi. Zou Ji didn't believe that he was more beautiful than Xu Gong, so he asked his concubine, "Who is more beautiful, Xu Gong or me?" My concubine said, "Xu Gong can't compare with you! "The next day, a guest came from outside. Zou Ji sat chatting with him and asked him, "Who is more beautiful, Xu Gong or me? The guest said, "Xu Gong is not as beautiful as you." . "The next day, Xu Gong came. Zou Ji looked at it carefully and didn't think it was as beautiful as him. Looking at yourself in the mirror again, I feel too far away. Lying in bed at night, I thought about it repeatedly and finally understood: "My wife praises me because she dotes on me;" "I praised me because I was afraid of me; The guest praised me because he wanted to make a request to me. "

So Zou Ji went to the court to see Wang Wei and said, "I do know that I am not as beautiful as Xu Gong. However, my wife is partial to me, my concubine is afraid of me, and my guests want to ask me something. They all think I am more beautiful than Xugong. Today, Qi's territory is more than 1000 miles and there are 120 cities. There are no officials around the queen, princess and monarch who are not biased towards the king. There is no courtier in the court who is not afraid of the king. There is no one in the country who doesn't want to ask for the king. (Fortunately): From this point of view, you are deceived. "

Wei Wangdao: "Good!" So I gave an order: "officials at all levels and ordinary people who can accuse me of mistakes face to face will win the first prize;" Give me advice in writing, and get the second prize; The person who can blame (my fault) in public so that I can hear it won the third prize. "As soon as the order came out, many ministers came to advise, and the palace gates and yards were like busy markets; A few months later, occasionally someone advised; A year later, even if someone wants to persuade, there is nothing to say. Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and others all went to worship Qi. This is what people call the imperial court's crushing defeat of other countries.
