Explanation:
Fang Lingxuan, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty; Seeking: seeking; Du: Du Ruhui in Tang Dynasty; Breakthrough: decision. Two people worked together and passed it on as a story. Metaphor is capable of cooperation.
Story:
Fang Lingxuan went to Li Shimin, when he had just started fighting in Li Shimin. Instead of hitting it off, he became a mastermind, always walking close to his body and strategizing, and was regarded by Li Shimin as the first hero of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. After the change of Xuanwumen, Fang Lingxuan became the official history of Zhenguan, and was in charge of state affairs for 22 years until his death.
Fang died less than a year after his death. Twenty-three years of "Zhenguan rule" came to an end. Fang was not only the founder of the Tang Dynasty, but also the first famous figure in the Tang Dynasty.
When he was the king of Qin, Du Ruhui was appointed as a soldier of Qin Cao to join the army, and was soon transferred as the governor of Shaanxi. At that time, many of Wang Fu's assistants were transferred to local posts, and Li Shimin was very worried. Fang said, "Others have nothing to regret. Du Ruhui was a talented person who assisted the emperor. If the king wants to govern the Quartet, he must be there. "
So Li Shimin immediately called on Du Ruhui to be an official in his own palace. Du Ruhui and Fang often follow conquests and make suggestions. There are many things in the army. As soon as Du Ruhui got it, he immediately analyzed and decided, soon. I often send Fang to play in the palace. Gaozu lamented: "Ling Xuan plays for my son, although he is thousands of miles away, but he seems to be visiting the people."
Fang and Du Ruhui also participated in the planning of the change of Xuanwu Gate. They secretly went in and out of Qin Gong, helped Li Shimin make up his mind, made suggestions, killed Prince Li and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and finally made him emperor. In 629 AD, Emperor Taizong appointed Fang as Zuo Assistant Minister of Shangshu.
Du Ruhui, the right servant shooter, said to them, "As servants, you should extensively collect talents and award official positions according to them. This is the responsibility of the prime minister. Recently, I heard that you accepted the resignation lawsuit, and there was not enough time every day. How can you help me find talents? " So he ordered: "The specific affairs of Shangshu Province are in the charge of Shangshu Zuocheng, and only the major events that need to be played are handled by the left and right servants."
Fang is proficient in politics and has literary talent. He worked day and night for fear of making mistakes. He applied the law generously and fairly. Together with Du Ruhui, he spared no effort in selecting scholars, and even the institutional framework of Shangshu Province was decided by two people. Every time Tang Taizong discussed with Fang, he always said, "Du Ruhui must decide."
When Du Ruhui came, Fang's plan was finally adopted, because Fang was good at planning and Du Ruhui was good at making decisions. Fang and Du Ruhui hit it off very well, and Qi Xin worked together for our country. Therefore, the sages of the Tang Dynasty first promoted Fang and Du. In March 630 AD, Du Ruhui was seriously ill, and the prince went to meet him, and then went to visit the sick himself.
On June 9th, 65438, Du Ruhui died. Every time Emperor Taizong got something good, he always thought of Du Ruhui and sent someone to give it to his family. After a long time, talking about Du Ruhui, I couldn't help crying. The other side of Taizong said, "You help me and you will meet. Now I can only see you, but I can't see Ruhui. " In 648 AD, Fang was seriously ill. Emperor Taizong called him to Yuhua Palace, let him enter the temple in a sedan chair, and then came down next to the emperor's throne.
When they met, they burst into tears. Emperor Taizong left him in the palace to recuperate, and he was beaming when he heard that his condition had improved slightly. When I heard that my condition was getting worse, I was worried and haggard. Fang Shangbiao advised Taizong to stop conquering North Korea. Fang's son Fang married Princess Gaoyang, the daughter of Emperor Taizong. Taizong said to the princess, "Your father-in-law is so ill that he is still worried about state affairs."
So, Emperor Taizong personally visited the house, shook Fang's hand, and parted from him, so sad that he couldn't help himself. On July 24, he died of illness. Emperor Taizong's employment system of "measuring the end of the house" is very clever.
Employing people is not only reflected in the number of talents, but also in the reasonable collocation of talents. In a group with many talents, we should not only have individual advantages, but also have the best group structure. "All-rounders" are few and far between, and "partial talents" are the vast majority, but a better combination of "partial talents" can constitute a greater "all-rounder".
Step 2 recommend yourself
Explanation:
Mao Sui: A disciple of Zhao during the Warring States Period. Recommendation: recommendation; Recommended. This is a metaphor for volunteering and recommending work.
Story:
Allusion: During the Warring States Period, Qin Jun defeated Zhao Jun in Changping. Tian Lei, the leader of Qin Jun, led the attack and surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao. At present, Zhao's situation is very critical. The king of Zhao ordered Zhao Sheng to go to Chu to seek the help of soldiers. Ping Yuanjun called the people together and selected 20 civil and military generalists to go with him.
After selection, there is still one person missing at last. A man named stood up and recommended himself to Mao Sui, saying, "I heard that Mr. Wang is going to the State of Chu to sign a contract of union, and it is agreed that 20 public guests will go with him and not be outside to watch. However, one person is still missing. I hope that Teacher Wang will start with the number of people! "
Ping Yuanjun said, "How many years has Mr. Zhao Sheng been here?" Mao Sui said, "Three years." Ping Yuanjun said, "A wise man in the world is like an awl in a bag, and its tip will be revealed immediately. Now, you have been under Zhao Shengmen for three years, and no one around you has praised you, and Zhao Sheng has never heard any compliments.
This is because Mr. Wang has no talent. So Mr. Wang Can can't go with us, please stay! "He said," I only asked to enter the bag today. If I had been in the bag, I would have exposed the whole edge like an awl, not just the tip. "Ping Yuanjun finally took away.
In the State of Chu, the King of Chu only received Ping Yuanjun. Two people sat in the temple, from morning to noon, with no result. Mao Sui stepped up the steps and shouted at a distance, "It's either good or bad to send troops. Simple and clear. Why not decide to discuss it? " The king of Chu was very angry and asked Ping Yuanjun, "Who is this man?"
Ping Yuanjun replied: "This man's name is Mao Sui, but he is my guest!" The king of Chu shouted, "Step down quickly! I'm talking to your master. What are you doing here? " Seeing that the king of Chu was angry, Mao Sui did not step down, but went up several steps. He put the sword in his hand and said, "Now, in ten steps, your king's life is in my hands!" " Seeing Mao Sui so brave,
I didn't scold him again, but listened to Mao Sui's words. Mao Sui made an incisive analysis of the reasons for sending troops to aid Chu. Mao sui's words convinced the king of Chu and promised to send troops at once. A few days later, Chu, Wei and other countries jointly sent troops to help Zhao. Qin Jun retreated. After returning to Zhao, he became a national guest. He sighed and said, "When Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, the king of Chu dared not look down upon Zhao."
3, chicken calls dog thieves
Explanation:
Ming: Call; Steal: steal. Refers to insignificant skills. It also means sneaking around.
Story:
During the Warring States Period, Meng Changjun of Qi liked to attract all kinds of people as guests, claiming to be 3,000 guests. He is open to all guests. Those who are talented let them do their best, and those who are not talented also provide accommodation. On one occasion, Meng Changjun led all the guests to the State of Qin. Zhao Haoqi of Qin kept him and wanted him to be prime minister. Meng Changjun didn't dare to offend Zhao Haoqi of Qin, so he had to stay.
Soon, the ministers advised the king of Qin to say, "It is not good for the king of Qin to keep Meng Changjun. He was born in the royal family, and he had fiefs and family members in the state of Qi. How can he really work for Qin? " Zhao Haoqi of Qin felt right, so he changed his mind and put Meng Changjun and his men under house arrest, just waiting for an excuse to kill them. Zhao Haoqi of the State of Qin has a favorite concubine. As long as the concubine says one, Zhao Haoqi won't say two.
Meng Changjun sent for her help. The princess agreed, on the condition that she would get a white fur coat (made of the hair under the armpit of the white fox) as a reward. This can be called Meng Changjun, because he gave this fox's white fur to Zhao Haoqi of Qin as soon as he arrived in Qin. Just then, a janitor said, "I can get the fox and the white fur!" " "
Say that finish and left. It turns out that this doorman is best at stealing dogs. He first learned the situation, knowing that Zhao Haoqi liked the fox fur coat so much that he couldn't bear to wear it for a while, so he put it in the exquisite storeroom of the palace. By moonlight, he escaped the patrol's eyes and easily got into the storage room to steal the fox hair.
The princess was very happy to see the fox Bai Qiu. She tried to persuade Qin to give up the idea of killing and prepared to send him back to Qi in a few days. Meng Changjun did not dare to wait for two days, and immediately led his men to ride eastward overnight. It was midnight when I arrived at Hanguguan (now lingbao city, Henan Province, which was the east gate of Qin State).
According to the law of Qin State, Hangu Pass is not opened until the cock crows every day. Why do chickens crow in the middle of the night? When everyone was worried, only a few "oh oh" cocks crowed, and then all the cocks outside the city crowed.
It turns out that another public in Meng Changjun can crow like a chicken, and the chicken will crow as soon as it hears the first crow. Why do you crow before going to bed? Although the soldiers guarding the customs felt strange, they had to get up and open the door to let them out. At dawn, Zhao Haoqi of Qin learned that Meng Changjun and his party had escaped, and immediately sent troops after them.
I've been through Hangu Pass for a long time. Meng Changjun fled back to Qi with the help of a confidant. This story comes from Biography of Historical Records and Meng Changjun. The idiom "a chicken calls a dog to steal" refers to a humble skill or a person with this skill.
4. On a whim
Explanation:
Take advantage of: Take advantage of temporary happiness. Come excitedly
The idiom "on a whim" refers to taking advantage of temporary happiness. Come if you are interested. Metaphor is to come happily.
Story:
This idiom comes from Biography of Wang Huizhi in the Book of Jin, and the emblem reads: "Ben came here on a whim and came back exhausted. Why does he want to see Tao An? "
Liu Song Yiqing's "The Story of Ren Xinyu's Birthday" in the Southern Dynasties: Wang Ziyou lived in the shade of a tree and it snowed heavily at night. Sleep, get a room, and drink at will. Looking around Jiao Ran, because of hesitation, he recited Zuo Si's Poems of Solitude. Suddenly, I remembered Diane Road, which I always wear, even when I take a boat at night. After arriving at Sufang, the door was not built. When people asked him why, the king said, "I left on impulse and came back exhausted." Why should I wear it? "
Wang Huizhi, the third son of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was arrogant by nature, unwilling to be bound by others and unrestrained in his behavior. Although he was an official in the DPRK, he often wandered around and did not deal with the daily affairs of the official's son.
Later, he simply resigned and lived in seclusion in Yin Shan (now Shaoxing). He travels, drinks and recites poems every day, but he is also very free.
One winter, it snowed for several days. One night, it stopped snowing. A bright moon appeared in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on the snow, as if there were sparkling flowers everywhere.
White and lovely. Wang Huizhi pushed open the window and saw snow all around. It's really beautiful. He immediately called his family out of the tables and chairs, brought them to the dining table, and sat alone in the yard and drank slowly. He drank, watched the scenery, recited poems and danced with joy.
Suddenly, he felt that this scene would be more touching if it could be accompanied by a long piano sound. From this, he remembered his friend Dai Kui, who can play the piano and draw pictures.
"Hey, why don't I see him right away?"
So Wang Huizhi immediately ordered his servants to prepare boats and paddles, and rushed there overnight. I don't think I am in Yin Shan and Dai Kui is in Shaanxi. There is a considerable distance between the two places.
The moonlight shines on the river, and the water waves are sparkling. The boat sailed briskly, and the scenery along the way was covered with silver. Wang Huizhi looked at such a beautiful night, as if he had entered a fairyland. "quick! Come on! Quick punting! "
Wang Huizhi urged his servant to see Dai Kui early and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The ship sailed all night, and at dawn, it finally reached Tongxi. But Wang Huizhi suddenly asked the servant to punt back. The servant was puzzled and asked him in surprise why he didn't go ashore to see Dai Kui. He smiled faintly and said, "I came on a whim. Now that my interest is gone, of course I have to go back. Why do I have to see Dai Kui? "
5, gladiator arm when the car
Explanation:
When: Stop. Mantis raised his front leg to stop the advancing car. Metaphor is overreaching or resisting irresistible forces will inevitably lead to failure.
Story:
"Zhuangzi Tianxia" said: "Does Fu Mantis know? I am angry that his arm is rutted. I don't know if he is incompetent! " In addition, "Zhuangzi Heaven and Earth" also said that "the Wrath of Mantis is used as a rut, so it is incompetent".
The "gladiator's arm" in the original words is not derogatory. Later, it was generally compared to a person who overreached himself, pretended to be a hero, and tried to resist some powerful force. The idiom "Use the gladiator's arm as a vehicle" is transformed from the original meaning of "incompetence" in Zhuangzi.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a sage named Yan He in the State of Lu. He was invited by the Duke Ling of Wei to be the teacher of his Prince Kuai. Yan He heard that you are a brave man. After arriving in Wei, he went to visit the sage and asked how to teach Yi well. Guo replied, it is right and beneficial for you to ask the situation first, but if you want to teach the prince well with your talents, it will be difficult to achieve your goal.
And further said: "You don't know that your husband is a mantis?" Angry that his arm is rutted, I wonder if he is incompetent, which is also the beauty of his talent. Look out, look out! It means: mantis blocks the wheel with open arms. It doesn't know that it is incompetent, but it really thinks this move is good and beneficial.
Yan He! Your heart is good, but you act like a gladiator, so you should be vigilant! Be careful!
