Idiom story

In the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Du, who was very knowledgeable and honest. After becoming a prince, he repeatedly suggested that Hui Jin's son mǐn be pregnant with a prince. Not only did King Huai not listen to the advice, but he held a grudge against Du, so he deliberately put some needles in the mat where Du sat. Du didn't notice that his ass was bloody.

The next day, the prince deliberately asked Du, "What happened to you yesterday?" Du could hardly speak, so he had to say, "I was drunk yesterday. I don't know what I did." The prince said, "You like to blame others. Why did you do something wrong? "
