The story about Meng Changjun persuading his father.

Meng Changjun, Zitian, was one of the four sons of the Warring States Period. This famous great man in the history of China was almost abandoned by his father when he was a child, and he saved his life by his glib tongue.

Meng Changjun advised his father.

Meng Changjun's father Tian Ying is a particularly superstitious person. He likes to be divined in every detail. Tian Wensheng was born on the fifth day of May. The fortune teller said: It is not good for Tian Ying to grow up to the height of the door. Tian Ying hardened her heart and let Tian Wen's mother throw the child away. Where the mother is willing to throw away the child, people secretly take the child to a hidden place to hide.

But you can't wrap the fire in paper after all. Meng Changjun grew up day by day, and the scope of activities became larger and larger. One day, his whereabouts were discovered by Tian Ying's guards. Tian Ying immediately flew into a rage. He rushed to ODA's place angrily and asked Tian Wen's mother angrily, Who asked you to raise him?

Tian Wen's mother trembled with fear, holding her child tightly for fear of being taken away. She was too scared to say a word.

Oda Wen saw such a scene, but he showed calmness disproportionate to his age. He respectfully saluted his father, and then asked unhurriedly, Father, why don't you want the child born on May 5th, and insist that my mother throw me away?

Tian Ying said angrily: It is not good for me that a child born on May 5th grows as high as a door. I see. Oda smiled. What do you say is the fate of people? Is it dominated by the gate?

This Tian Ying was stumped at once.

Oda didn't give him a chance to think, and then he said, if a person's fate is dominated by heaven or himself, then why should his father worry? If the gate is the main one, it is better to open the gate higher. Who can grow as tall as it?

What's the grandson's name again?

Tian Ying was not interested in this and impatiently replied, Great-grandson.

What's the great-grandson's name? Tian Wen greets him.

Tian Ying was very annoyed by Tian Wen's endless questions. He said angrily, I don't know!

At this moment, Oda spoke and said, Dad, please don't be angry. I just don't understand. You were highly valued in the State of Qi, and became famous after the Three Kings. After so many years, the territory of Qi has not expanded, but your private wealth has accumulated millions! Your servant wears silk gauze, but ordinary people can't even wear coarse cloth; Your male and female servants have surplus food and meat, and the common people don't even have enough chaff. Now that the predicament is getting more and more serious, you are still trying your best to preserve and store your property, and you want to leave it to those descendants who you just said don't know who it is. Don't you think it's strange that you are doing this?

Hearing this, Tian Ying broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at the boy in front of him carefully. He was surprised that he couldn't believe that such insightful words came from this brat. He took Tian Wen's hand and said excitedly, Good boy, you are right! With your understanding, why worry about being angry? Since then, Tian Ying praised Oda Wen's cleverness to everyone, and Tian Wen became famous gradually.
