Zou Ji satirized Qi Wang Nengchen.
Warring States policy
Zou Ji is more than eight feet long, and his appearance is very beautiful. 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 can Gong be as good as Gong Ye! "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, "Where can I compare with you?" ? The next day, a guest came from outside, sat next to him and asked him, "Who is more beautiful than ordinary people?" " ? " The guest said, "Xu Gong is not as beautiful as you!" Tomorrow, Xu Hui will come. Who saw it and thought it was inferior; Look at yourself in the mirror, as far as the horizon. Thinking at dusk: "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 really know that Xu Hongmei is inferior. My wife is a private minister, my concubine is afraid of me, and everything my guests want from me is more beautiful than Xu Hongmei. Today, thousands of miles away, there are 120 cities, ladies in the left and right, all private kings; Courtiers are not afraid of kings; Within four borders, there is nothing but the king. From this point of view, the cover of the king is very embarrassing! " 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.
