Xiao Daocheng asked Wang Sengqian: "Who do you think is number one?" Wang Sengqian looked at their names and thought that even if he was the emperor, he couldn't speak without conscience. So Wang Sengqian replied: "I am the best among the ministers, and your Majesty is the best among the emperors." 3. Sima Shi once had a meeting with Zhong Yu (Zhong Yao's son, Zhong Hui's brother) and Chen Tai (Chen Qun's son). ) and Wu Ye (Wu Zhou's son) had a meal together. Sima Shi and several others mocked Zhong Yu and deliberately asked him: "Who is Gao Yao?" - What is this question? In ancient times, it was very rude to mention the name of an elder to someone's face. Zhong Yu's father was Zhong Yao, so Master Sima deliberately asked "Gao Yao". How would Zhong Yu answer? He replied: "The ancient Yishi". In ancient times, a very noble man quietly brought in the name of Master Sima's father. This was not the end yet. He turned around and said to Chen Tai and Wu Ye: "A gentleman does not compete with others, and he does not party with others." Gentlemen must be loyal and honest, and cannot form cliques for personal gain. It is simply too low for you to gang up and bully others. At the same time, the names of Chen Qun and Wu Zhou were included. 4. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei once sent an Iraqi envoy to Soochow.
