So a great official of the Sui Dynasty.
When I was a child, one year, both Ren Jia and Du Jia in Murakami lost a cow. Both of them rushed out to look for it separately, but they couldn't find it for a long time. Later, someone finally found one for them, and both families argued that the cow was their own. The two sides were deadlocked, and the lawsuit hit the state, and it was difficult for the state officials to decide, so the case hung up.
At this time, Yizhou secretariat Han was scared and had a brainwave. He said to the state official, "You Yu is brilliant, why not call him to finalize the case?"
State officials don't think so He said: "Hairless mouth, unstable work! Adults can't do this case, let alone teenagers? "
Han Bojun said, "Your Excellency's words are poor." Said, and introduced the anecdote of following his father to meet Emperor Wendi at the age of 9:
The emperor asked Yu, "I heard that you like reading. What are the things recorded in the book? "
Wen Zhong calmly replied: "Supporting parents and serving the monarch is nothing more than the word' loyalty and filial piety'."
Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty marveled at Wen Zhong's powerful generalization ability and repeatedly praised him: "Well said! Well said! "
Han Bojun said, "My Lord, do you think this boy named Yu can handle this case?"
The state official readily agreed and ordered him to go home with a red invitation.
When Yu arrived at the state capital, he asked about the situation and said with a smile, "This case is easy to judge."
He told Ren and Du to drive their cows to the big playground in front of the state capital. He shouted, "Cow!"
After that, the cow went straight to Ren Jia's herd.
Everyone cheered: "Yes, yes!"
I looked coldly at Du Jia's refusal and shouted, "Slow down, you drive that cow out alone."
After the cow came out, he ordered the officers to whip it hard with a whip, and his family rushed forward to fight hard and took the whip away. The Du family shouted, "Stop fighting, stop fighting." The cry is weak, like acting.
When I saw it, I sharply questioned Du's family: "If you find that this cow is not yours, you insist on taking the initiative. In addition to ten times the fine, you will also bear legal responsibility!"
Du Jia knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to admit the crime of impersonation. Nuo Nuo recited and forgave himself.
Yu's reputation in the case of God breaking an ox spread from then on.

One day, Confucius and his disciples went to a place to give lectures in a carriage. When they saw a six-or seven-year-old child playing in the dirt on the road ahead, Zi Gong gave a loud cry and was about to run over the car, but the child blocked the road and shouted, "Stop, there is a city ahead, and you can't cross it. Go back and make a detour! "
Zigong quickly stopped the car and shouted angrily, "You naughty boy, stop fooling around. This is Confucius' car. Put it over here! "
"No matter who you are, you have to be reasonable. I ask you whether you are hiding in the city or in the car?" The child said methodically.
Everyone was tongue-tied, and Zi Gong was angry and anxious. At this time, Confucius got out of the car and stopped him and said, "The child is right, don't mess around."
Confucius said, stepped forward, bowed to the child, and said, "The child prodigy is here, and the old lady is polite. We have something important to do, please lend us a way! "
The child asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Travel around the world."
"What is traveling around the world?"
"Give lectures and preach."
"Giving lectures and preaching requires a set of skills and talents. What do you know? "
Confucius said, "I don't boast. I know a thing or two from astronomy to geography. "
The child asked again, "Do you know how many eyebrows you have?"
Confucius said, "I can't see my eyebrows. How do I know? "
The child rolled his eyes and then asked, "I can't see, but the stars in the sky can see." Do you know how many? "
"There are so many stars in the sky, how to count them?" Confucius said awkwardly.
The child smiled and said, "Oh, you have gone too far; On that day, there will be one, like an ice tray in the morning and Yuhuan at noon. Let me ask you when you are near and when you are far away? "
Confucius thought for a long time and still couldn't answer, so he sincerely said to the child, "I still know nothing about the above things." I sincerely worship you as a teacher and hope to give you more advice. " Say, kowtow.
Later, Confucius taught his disciples about this, saying, "Don't think that you don't know, know that you know, and don't forget that there must be a teacher in a threesome."

In the Song Dynasty, just after Liu Zai was transferred to Taixing County Magistrate, he received a complaint from a farmer.
The farmer said, "My relatives in the neighboring county rented our cattle. What's hateful is that he stole the lease when he was having a funeral at my house. For more than ten years, I went to the door several times to ask for cattle and rent, but he refused to admit it and lied about selling the cattle. Therefore, please ask Lord Liu to be the king. "
Liu Zi asked, "Why hasn't it been solved for more than ten years?"
The farmer replied: "I have complained to the government many times, but there is no deed, and because it involves neighboring counties, the government has been shelved."
Liu Zi stood up, paced back and forth, and said to himself, "It's been more than ten years. How can you get it back at once?" I have to think of a plan. "
Later, Liu Tsai ordered the two beggars to be called in. After eating and drinking enough, he told them what happened and put them in prison.
The next day, the trial began. Liu Tsai patted the gavel and shouted, "Have you two ever stolen cattle?"
The two beggars confessed at once: "I stole a cow."
Liu Zi continued to ask, "Where did the cow come from?"
The beggar replied, "It was sold to a neighboring county."
Liu Tsai asked, "Do you remember which one it is?"
The beggar replied decisively, "Yes, yes."
Liu Tsai commanded the left and right: "Good! Then take them to identify. "
When they came to the neighboring county, two beggars went straight to the tenant's house and said, "I sold it to this family." At first, the tenant refused to admit it, but the beggar insisted. The tenant was in a hurry and went back to the house and took out the deed. He vowed: "I rented the cow, and the deed is evidence."
Everyone present laughed, and the tenant woke up like a dream, knowing that he had been trapped. Finally, the cattle and rent should be returned to the landlord in full.

According to legend, Xicang Bridge on Xue River was built in Ming Dynasty. This three-hole stone arch bridge is said to be a royal project, with a large scale, many skilled workers and even more migrant workers. When the bridge was built, the construction site was very lively, like a small market.
One day, an old white-haired stonemason came from other places and made a stone nest for Yajia in Hebei. He played for several days in a row, and when he was resting, he wandered around the construction site and watched people carve water beasts, stone lions and bridge columns. When he was in high spirits, he quarreled with the masonry door, and even the leaders on the construction site pestered him with a few words. Everyone says that the old man is pedantic and the dog bites the mouse-mind your own business.
The old stonemason finished the stone nest. He said to his master, "you have so many stones, I'll make you a stone pier." It is more convenient to sit on food. " The main family was very happy and asked him to continue playing.
Don't be too careful when hitting this stone pier. He measured the amplitude of the jump, and someone asked him, "What's the trouble with a stone pier?" When the old stonemason heard this, he just smiled and didn't talk, so he knew that he bowed his head and worked. On the day of the stone pier, it happened to catch up with the closure of the stone arch ring of the bridge. I don't know why, at the end of the base, there is a small stone missing. It was cloudy and it was going to rain heavily. If the stone archway doesn't close the Longmen immediately, months of work will be in vain! But it's too late now! The masons and officials in charge of this project are in a rash, like ants on hot bricks. Just as everyone was wondering, the old stonemason left again. He looked at the gap and said to the engineer, "I have a stone pier there." Do you think it is appropriate to put it here? " As soon as the masons heard this, they immediately moved the stone pier with the old masons and put it in the middle, but it was perfectly buckled.
When the bridge was completed, the officials were very happy. When I thought of thanking the old stonemason, where was the shadow of the old man! When I saw the next snap, there was a big red note that read:
The construction was sloppy and the bridge arch made an error.
Ruban came to help, and Silver thanked the farmer.
After reading the note, people realized that the old stonemason was Lu Ban who secretly helped the royal project. According to Lu Ban's instructions, the officials gave twenty-two taels of silver to the people who beat the stone chips.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, one spring, with boundless scenery, Su Dongpo came to visit Mount Tai with excellent scholars. They stopped and walked and came to the temple unconsciously. There are many inscriptions on the temples, mostly made by emperors and generals and written by celebrities. Su Dongpo and very young people walked into the temple with the crowd and enjoyed the forest of steles.
At this time, a majestic and personable man came from the East. Su Dongpo looked carefully and was overjoyed. That man turned out to be his good friend Wang Anshi, a great writer. Su Dongpo quickly greeted: "Wang Daren, what a coincidence, you also came to Mount Tai?"
Seeing that it was Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi, while admiring the inscription, replied, "If you, a great poet, enjoy the scenery of Mount Tai and set up an inscription on the temple, can't I join in the fun?" Su Dongpo quickly argued: "No, it's a great blessing to swim with Wang Daren in the forest of steles in Dizi Temple!" After that, he pointed to his back and said, "This is extremely bookish Ford." Wang Anshi pointed to the young man in front of him and said, "My book is full of knowledge!" "
As soon as Wang Anshi's voice fell, Ford ran to say hello to Xuezhi. Who knows Xue Zhi's appearance of refusing people thousands of miles away, just "snorted" as a greeting.
The four men leisurely read the inscription and walked forward. When they came to a stone tablet leaning slightly to the east, the four stopped to comment. Because Ford was not happy when he saw Xuezhi's face just now, he stepped forward and said, "An Shi is not straight, but his shadow is crooked!" " "How clever he is to learn wisdom. As soon as he heard that Ford was satirizing his master's refusal to give up, he blurted out: "Dongpo leans forward and the foundation is inclined! "
Hearing two bookish bickering, Wang Anshi interjected: "Learning wisdom is so right. It is true that this monument leans forward, because its foundation is inclined! " Su Dongpo said, "Wang Daren is right, but it makes more sense to praise the blessings. If the body is not right, the shadow will be awkward! " Say that finish, Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo smiled at each other.
Seeing the host laughing, Ford and Xuezhi giggled.

Break the pomegranate and squeeze the sour seeds together.
This group of scholars, you look at me and I look at you, racking their brains and thinking hard, but they can't be compared. As it happens, Huang Zhong also came to the front of the sedan chair to listen to the requirements of the adults in the college.
The university adults met Huang Zhong and asked, "Aren't you Huang Zhong?"
"This student is Huang Zhong."
"Are you right?"
"The students have come up with the bottom allied. However, let all the students be right first. If they can't do it well, I will do it again. "
After waiting for a while, the boss still couldn't compare with the scholars in various counties, so Huang Zhongnian read the couplet:
Break the lotus root knot and divide the silk grain into two sides.
The college students laughed, and the group of scholars had to separate the two sides and get out of the way to let the big sedan chairs of the college students pass.

There was a scholar who was afraid of poverty and wanted to get rich, but he never thought of a way to get rich. One day, he suddenly remembered the saying in an ancient book that "the mantis catches cicada, and the yellowbird comes after it" and thought: Isn't this the way to make money?
So poor scholars hide under trees every day, waiting to see mantis catching cicadas. One day, he really saw it, so he climbed up the tree and picked the leaves of the hidden mantis. Just as he was enjoying climbing down, he accidentally fell under the tree, landed on a pile of leaves and got mixed up. The scholar had no choice but to take all the leaves home.
Back home, the poor scholar picked up a leaf to cover his eyes and asked his wife, "Can you see me?" The wife said, "I can see." He grabbed another leaf to cover his eyes and asked, "Can you still see it?" "I can still see it." He asked many times in a row and was tired of his wife's questions. He said angrily, "I can't see."
Hearing this, the scholar was very happy and ran to the market with this leaf. He picked up a leaf to cover his eyes, broke into a shop and stole something, and was caught red-handed. Asked why he stole in broad daylight, he replied:
