Yang's Translation of Classical Chinese

When Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the satrap of Tonglu, he first built Mr. Yan's ancestral hall (memorial) in gfans, and wrote a note in his own hand, which read: Yunshan is gray and the sea is boundless. The virtue of a gentleman, the mountain is high and the water is long; After writing, I showed it to Li Taibo in Nanfeng. After reading it many times, Li Taibo stood up and said, Mr. Wang will be famous all over the world after writing this article. I boldly want to change the word (help you) to make it more perfect; Gong Fan was glad to hold his hand for advice. (Li Taibo) said: The sentence "Yunshan River" is very meaningful and profound. It seems a bit awkward to use it to modify the word "de". I want to change the word "Germany" to "Feng". what do you think? Gong Fan sat nodding, almost bowing.

139 Wang Anshi changed his poems

One of Wang Anshi's quatrains reads: "Guazhou and Jingkou are separated by water, while Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains, and the spring breeze is green in Jiang Nanan. When will the bright moon shine on me? " A scholar in that place in Wuzhong has a first draft of this poem at home. At first, it was written as "I'm going to Jiang Nanan again", and later it was circled as "here", and the note was written as "bad" and changed to "passing by". It was circled again and changed to "into". Later it was changed to "full". In this way, the total * * * chose more than a dozen words to modify, and finally decided to be "green".

People with literary talent can be called heroes among people. Writing an article is like a big tree, with roots and leaves, stems inside and skins outside. The form of literary words is like branches and leaves and fur. There are thoughts in the chest, and the form and content are consistent. If you are sincere, you can think quickly and express your thoughts clearly. Writing an article is like a rooster with feathers, no matter how beautiful the feathers are, the article is gorgeous but has no ideological content, just like a rooster with beautiful feathers for nothing.

14 1 single axis mouse drawing

There is a scholar in Dong 'an who is good at painting. He made a picture with mice as the theme and dedicated it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate didn't know how to cherish it at first, so he just hung the picture on the wall. Every morning, when I walk past the place where the painting is hung, the mouse painting always falls to the ground, hangs many times, and falls to the ground many times. The county magistrate felt very strange about this situation. One day at dawn, the county magistrate got up to look and found that the painting had fallen to the ground, and there was a cat squatting next to it. The county magistrate picked up the painting, and the cat jumped up and chased the mouse painting. The county magistrate tried other cats with this painting, and none of them were different. Only then did I know that this mouse painting is very realistic and worth collecting.

Dai Song, a painter in the Tang Dynasty, has always been famous for painting cows. The cows he painted are as famous as the horses painted by traitors. They are collectively referred to as "Han Ma Dai Niu". Dai Song has a picture of a bullfight, which was collected by Ma Zhijie, Minister of the Song Dynasty. Ma Zhijie cherishes this painting very much. One day, it was sunny and dry. Ma Zhijie took out this photo of the bullfight from the bottom of the box and put it in the sun in front of the hall. A farmer came to pay taxes and saw this picture. He looked at it and couldn't help laughing. Ma Zhijie was surprised to be around, so he asked the farmer, "Do you know how to draw? What's funny about this picture? The farmer replied, "I'm just a farmer." I don't know how to draw, but I know a lot about live cattle. "When a cow fights, it must put its tail tightly between its thighs, no matter how strong it is, it can't be pulled out. But look at this photo of the bullfight. Two cows are fighting angrily, but their tails are held high. This is completely different from the actual situation! " Ma Zhijie listened and admired the farmer's knowledge. (Excerpted from Du Xing Magazine) Moral: When painting cows, you must know their habits; Before you do anything else, you should also know all kinds of actual situations. Even the creation of famous artists should be based on real facts.

143 finger painting

Su Xugu is good at finger painting. He often uses his thumb as a coarse brush, his index finger and middle finger as a medium brush, and his ring finger and little finger as a fine brush. When the time is right, he works with spirit and strength (painting), which is superior and arrogant, surpassing the normal method, as if the brush were going to turn it around. I met him in Baimen before and saw the short paintings on display until the inscription on them was inscribed, and the brushwork was old and straight, which was worth liking. This is really necessary. Recently, Wei Yuean is also good at painting in this way. Lu Dongqiao wrote an inscription for Yue Wei 'an's finger painting "Fisherman": "Gao Shilang is good at finger painting in this dynasty. People, things, flowers and birds can be painted at will, which is very interesting. For example, "Chuping Fossils Are Sheep", such as "Poseidon Spitting Fog into the City", are novel and strange, and some of them are beyond the reach of brush and ink. But there is nothing superfluous in the vast sea, and the meticulous decoration is insufficient. Unlike this "fisherman", his beard and eyebrows are blurred, and he has a taste of people wandering around the rivers and lakes. Moreover, the dense willow tree shade, subtle water waves, fishing rods and fishing tackle, bamboo hats and hemp fibers are all exquisite and dexterous. If ordinary vulgar people draw like this, I'm afraid it's not as vivid as a mouse's beard. " So (I) sigh that one finger between heaven and earth can draw such a strange and dexterous painting, while my ten fingers are like iron fingers, unable to hold the brush to draw. What should I do? There is a saying among ordinary people: "When someone meets Lu, (Lu) will mention Shi Jincheng. Do you want gold? The man said,' I don't want Lu Shi's gold, as long as Lu Shi's fingers can turn stone into gold.' "I don't want to get the finger painting of the temple, just want to get the finger that can draw the finger painting of the temple.

Lin Zhidong is good at drawing orchids and likes traveling. Anyone who has heard that there are orchids must try to find them. A woodcutter who cut wood told him that he often smelled the fragrance of orchids in a big ravine, but he couldn't go because of thorns and tigers and leopards. Lin Zhidong summoned some brave men, made a fire with knives, arrows and things, prepared dry food, and beat gongs and drums into the ravine, just like facing the enemy. When I arrived, I saw an orchid with leaves more than ten feet long and flowers as big as my palm. Since then, the blue moon he painted has become amazing.

145 killing dogs on the road

When Ouyang Xiu was in the Hanlin Academy, he often traveled in the same yard with others. Once, I saw a galloping horse trample a dog to death. Ouyang Xiu said, "Tell me about it." A man said, "There is a dog lying on the road, trying to escape the horseshoe and kill it." Another man said, "There is a dog lying on the road, and the lying dog was killed by it." Ouyang Xiu said with a smile, "You can't finish writing 10 thousand volumes if you study history like this." The two men said, "What do you think?" Ouyang Xiu said, "Kill the dog at once." The two men blushed and laughed at each other.

146 Sima Guang and Zi Tongzhi Jian

I was ordered to collect and sort out the deeds of monarchs and ministers in past dynasties, and was later named as "Tongzhi Jianjian" by imperial edict, and now I have finished sorting it out. I know that Lu is dull and clumsy, and my knowledge and technical research are sparse. Everything I do is inferior to others, but I still know a little about the past history, and I can't get tired of reading it since I was a child. Whenever I worry about it, since Sima Qian and Ban Gu, there are so many words that people in cloth can't finish reading them. Besides, for the emperor, there is a lot of work to do, how can he have time to look at it? I often can't help but guess that I want to cut out complicated things and simplify them. I want to make an outline, which is especially related to the rise and fall of the country and people's lives. Good can be used as an example (law), evil can be used as a warning (lesson), and it can be used as a chronicle, so that it can be orderly and not mixed. From the Warring States to the Five Dynasties, * * * is 1362, and * * * is 294 volumes.

147 Cai Bo Pu Songling

Mr. Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is precise and concise, without any implication. His brushwork is based on hundred schools of thought's articles, not just Zuo's and Longmen's. It is said that Mr. Pu Songling lives in the country. He is lonely and has a very eccentric personality. The children in the village are teachers in private schools. His family is poor and self-sufficient and doesn't want others. When writing this book, I take a large piece of magnetic poppy every morning, which is filled with bitter tea, and put a pack of Tampa, a cigarette, on the sidewalk, with a reed lining below, sitting on it, with cigarettes and tea beside it. When you see passers-by, you must force them to talk to themselves, collect wonderful stories and tell some strange legends, and know these wonderful stories when chatting with people; If you are thirsty, give tea or cigarettes to pedestrians, and be sure to let them talk. Every time I hear something funny, I go back and write it down with a pen. This book took more than twenty years to complete. So his brushwork is great.

148 Wang Bo's draft.

Wherever Wang Bo went, he was asked to write articles. He accumulated a lot of money, goods and silks and satins as fountain pens. Others say that he weaves with his heart and cultivates with his tongue. Whenever he writes an inscription or eulogy, he grinds a few liters of ink, covers his face with a quilt and lies down. Once the inspiration came, he suddenly got up and never changed. At that time, people said that he had made a draft in his stomach.

During the reign of Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu, the palace caught fire. At that time, Ding Wei Song Dynasty presided over the reconstruction of the palace (which required brick burning), and was troubled by the long distance of land acquisition. In Song Dynasty, Ding Wei ordered to borrow soil from the street, and a few days later it became a grand canal. So the Bianhe River was dug into a canal, and the materials transported by water all over the country were transported to the palace gate through the Bianhe River and the Grand Canal. After the reconstruction work was completed, the abandoned rubble was used to fill the canal, which became a street again. Doing one thing and completing three tasks can save hundreds of millions of dollars.

150 Cao Wei lured the enemy

Cao Wei was stationed in the border town to resist foreign invasion. He once fought against the enemy and just won a preliminary victory. The spies reported that the enemy had gone far, and Cao Wei ordered his men to drive away cattle, sheep and other trophies, so the whole team was in chaos and failed to form a camp. Seeing this situation, some subordinates were deeply worried and said to Cao Wei, "What can cattle and sheep do on the battlefield? It is better to give up these things and hurry back to rectify the army. " Cao Wei ignored it. Xifan soldiers have retreated dozens of miles away. I heard that Cao Wei's greed for trophies led to the teacher's disheveled clothes, so he quickly returned to the division to sneak attack. Cao Wei's troops marched slowly, saw favorable terrain along the way, and simply stopped to prepare to turn back and counter the attack of Xifan. When the Spanish soldiers arrived, Cao Wei sent someone to meet them and told them, "You must be tired after marching for so long. I don't want to take advantage of people's danger. Why don't you take a rest first, and I'll fight you to the death later. "Xifan soldiers worry about fatigue. Their faces lit up when they heard this. The Lord will make the team line up and rest on the spot. After a long time, Cao Wei sent a notice: "Have a good rest, just take it." So, both sides sounded the golden drums and started the war. After one round, Xifan's soldiers were beaten out of the water. At this time, Cao Wei ordered his men to give up the spoils of cattle and sheep and return to HQ. He calmly explained to his subordinates: "I know that Xifan's soldiers are exhausted, so I deliberately pretend to be greedy and cheap to lure them." When they are fooled, they will almost March for nearly a hundred miles. At this time, if you let them get up and fight immediately, the outcome is still unknown; However, they are people who have just come a long way. At this time, if you take a little rest, you will be paralyzed and unable to stand firm. People's spirit will be relatively depressed. That's how I won. "

15 1. Li Guangzhi withdrew the Xiongnu army.

Xiongnu marched into Shang Jun, and the emperor sent eunuchs to train with Li Guang to fight against Xiongnu. The eunuch led about ten cavalry and galloped on horseback. When he saw three Huns, he fought with them. The three men turned to shoot arrows, wounded the eunuch and killed all his cavalry. When the eunuch fled to Li Guang, Li Guang said, "This must be a sharpshooter in the Xiongnu army." Li Guang led more than one hundred cavalry to chase three Huns. The three men had to walk because they had no horses. After walking more than ten miles, Li Guang ordered his cavalry to draw bows on the left and right sides. Li Guang personally shot three of them: two died and one survived-indeed, he was a sharpshooter in the Xiongnu army. After Li Guang tied him up and mounted the horse, he saw thousands of people in tarkan. When they saw Li Guang, they thought he was a seducer. They were all very surprised and panicked and ran up the hill to set up a battle. Li Guang hundreds of cavalry frightened, want to ride back. Li Guang said, "I am more than ten miles away from the army. If more than a hundred cavalry run away like this now, the Huns will certainly chase us and catch us all. Now that we stay, the Huns must think that we are luring them for the sake of the army, and they will not dare to attack us. " Li Guang ordered the cavalry to say, "Forward!" Go forward less than two miles away from the Xiongnu army, stop, and (Li Guang) orders, "dismount and untie the saddle." His cavalry said, "There are many Huns, and they are very close. What should we do if there is an emergency? " Li Guang said, "They Huns thought we would escape, but now they have untied their saddles and said they will not escape. In this way, they are more convinced that we are the soldiers who lure the enemy. " So the Huns dare not attack. A general on a white horse came out to review his army. Li Guang mounted his horse, took a dozen cavalry and ran to shoot Xiongnu generals riding white horses, and then returned to the original army. Untie the saddle and order the soldiers to let the horse lie on the ground. At this time, it was dusk, and the Xiongnu army always thought that their behavior was very strange and did not dare to attack. In the middle of the night, the Xiongnu soldiers thought that the Han army must have ambushed the army nearby and wanted to destroy it during the night, so the Xiongnu led the troops to retreat. The next morning, Li returned to his big military camp.

152. Jia Xu debate

Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu continuously. One morning, he led the troops to retreat, and Zhang Xiu went after Cao Jun himself ... Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu, "You can't chase any more. If you chase again, you will lose. " Zhang Xiu didn't listen to him and led the soldiers to fight Cao Cao. They were defeated. Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu, "Go after it quickly. Fight again and win. " Zhang Xiu refused to say, "You don't have to say it, that's all. Now that you have lost, what's the use of chasing again? " Jia Xu said: "The situation of soldiers has changed. Go there quickly and you will win. " Zhang Xiu believed his words, so he cleaned up the idle soldiers and began to chase them. After the war, he really came back victorious. Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu, "I came back with elite soldiers and troops chasing them. You said you would be defeated. After I retreated, I defeated the soldiers with defeated soldiers. You said you would definitely defeat them. As you said, why do you work in reverse? " Jia Xu said, "It's easy to know. Although the general is good at fighting, it is not equal to Cao Cao. Although the army has just retreated, Cao Cao will definitely walk behind when marching; Although the pursuers were elite, since the general was defeated, their soldiers were also sharp and knew that they would fail. Cao Cao did not miscalculate when attacking the army, but retreated before his troops ran out. There must be something wrong at home. The defeated general must have led a strong team to attack quickly, so many generals were left at the forefront. Although many generals are brave, they are no match for generals, so fighting the defeated soldiers will definitely win. " Zhang Xiu admires Josh again.

153. Zhang Feng was named Yong Chi.

Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, made more than 20 great achievements, and the rest worked hard day and night for success, but received no credit. In Luoyang Nangong, Liu Bang saw many generals sitting on the sand and talking to each other from the pavilion road in the palace. Liu Bang said, "What do you mean?" Sean said, "Your Majesty doesn't know? This is rebellion! " Liu Bang said, "How can there be rebellion when the world is just stable?" Sean said, "Your Majesty won the world with cloth. Since your majesty is the son of heaven, what he achieved was what Xiao He and Cao Can loved, and what he killed was what he hated all his life. Today's military attaché s calculate merits, and seal merits everywhere with the shortcomings of the world. This is because they are afraid that your majesty can't devote himself to the merits, and they are afraid that they are negligent in life, so they get together to rebel! " Liu Bang was also very worried and said, "What should I do?" Sean said, "All ministers know what the emperor hates most in his life. Who hates it the most? " Liu Bang said, "Yong Chi and I have an old enemy and humiliated me several times. I want to kill him; " Because he has done a lot of credit, he can't bear it. Sean said: "The urgent task now is to set a good example for Yong Chi. When many ministers saw Yong Chi's contribution, everyone's mood was very stable. " So the emperor put out wine, named Yongchu as a food city Hou, and urged the prime minister and the suggestion to make contributions according to their merits. After putting out the wine, all the ministers said happily, "Yong Chi has been made a marquis, so people like us will have no worries. "

154. Liu Bang used his quick wits.

The Chu army led by Xiang Yu and the Han army commanded by Liu Bang were deadlocked for a long time and failed to decide the outcome. Strong people endure the pain of military travel, and the old and weak people are tired of delivering rations. Wang Han and Xiang Yu put aside the deep valley dialogue of Guangwu Mountain. Xiang Yu wanted to challenge Hanwang alone. Hanwang rebuked Xiang Yu. ..... Xiang Yu was furious, and the archers in ambush shot and killed Hanwang. Hanwang was injured in the chest, so he pressed his toe and said, "The enemy shot my toe!" " "Hanwang is lying in the trauma. Sean forced Hanwang to patrol and sympathize with the army to appease the soldiers and prevent Chujun from catching up with Hanwang by accident.

155. Zhuge Liang's empty plan

Zhuge Liang stationed in Yangping and sent General Wei Yan's soldiers to the East. Zhuge Liang only kept 10 thousand people guarding the capital. Xian Di Xuan Di led 200,000 people to resist Zhuge Liang and marched alternately with Jun Yan to the front of the path, 60 miles away from Zhuge Liang. The scouts told Bai Xuan that De had few soldiers and the strength of the city was weak. Zhuge Liang also knew that Emperor Xuandi was coming, and the threat was imminent. He wants to go to Jun Yan, which is too far away. If he turns around and catches up with Wei Yan's army, he will definitely miss it. The men are expressionless and don't know what the plan is. Zhuge Liang is full of confidence. All the flags in the army fell to the ground, the drums stopped, and they were not allowed to leave the camp at will. They also ordered the opening of four city gates, sweeping the floor and sprinkling water. Emperor Bai often said that Zhuge Liang was in power. Suddenly he saw that the situation was weak and suspected that there was an ambush, so he led his troops up the mountain in a hurry. During the solar eclipse the next day, Zhuge Liang laughed at his men and said, "Sima Yi must have thought I was pretending to be timid. The soldiers were ambushed and walked along the mountain." The soldiers of the reconnaissance team came back to tell Bai, just as Zhuge Liang said. After knowing it, I feel deeply sorry.

156 Qin emissary is right.

The state of Qin was at war with Chu, and the king of Qin sent messengers to Chu. The king of Chu sent someone to tease the person sent by the king of Qin and said, "Are you here to divine the war?" The answer is: "Yes." "What did the fortune teller say?" The answer is: "Good." People in the state of Chu said, "Alas, it's amazing! There are no good turtles in your country. The king of Chu wants to kill you and smear the gap of the new casting clock with the blood of sacrifice. How is this luck? " The messenger said, "The State of Qin is at war with the State of Chu, and my king sent me to find out about the enemy. I died and didn't come back. My king knows, so he should be vigilant and guard against Chu. This is what I call good luck. Besides, if the dead don't know, how can they disturb the clock? If the dead knew, would I give up Qin and help Chu? I will let the clock of Chu ring silently. When the bell rings silently, the soldier has nothing to organize his soldiers and command the army. Killing someone else's emissary is not a general agreement in ancient times. Do something! " The emissary of the State of Chu reported this to the King of Chu, who pardoned the emissary of the State of Qin.

157. Cao Chongzhi saved the shopkeeper.

Cao Cao's saddle is in Markku, but the saddle was bitten by a mouse. The treasurer was afraid that he would die. He decided to tie himself up and confess his guilt face to face, and he was afraid that Cao Cao would not forgive him. Cao Chong said to him, "Wait three days before turning yourself in." Cao Chong then stabbed his shirt with a knife, as if bitten by a mouse, mistaking him for unhappy and sad. When Cao Cao asked him, Cao Chong replied, "The secular thought that clothes were bitten by rats, and the owner of the clothes was unlucky. Now my light clothes have been bitten by mice, and I am very worried. " Cao Cao said, "This is nonsense. There is nothing to worry about. " After a while, the shopkeeper reported to Cao Cao about the mouse biting the saddle. Cao Cao said with a smile, "My child's clothes are beside him and have been bitten by rats, not to mention the saddle hanging on the post?" Cao Cao did not pursue it.

158. Cao Cao promised to open up wasteland.

There has been a lack of food everywhere since the panic. The local strongmen set out at the same time, and there was no final harvest calculation. They invade and plunder when they are hungry, and give up the rest when they are full. The mighty armies of all walks of life disintegrated and dispersed, and countless people were invincible. Yuan Shao is in the north of the Yellow River, and the army lives by eating mulberry fruits. Yuan Shu fished for aquatic plants and snails in the rivers and Huaihe River. People eat people and the country is desolate. Cao Cao said: "The way to stabilize the country lies in strengthening the army and supporting everyone. Qin people annexed the world with rapid agricultural development, and filial piety used soldiers and farmers to cultivate barren fields and hoes to settle in the western regions. These are all good methods of predecessors. " In this year, people were recruited, and soldiers and farmers were used to cultivate the barren land around Xudu to obtain materials, and a large amount of rice was obtained. So the counties set up field officers according to the regulations and accumulated grain in their own places. Going out to crusade everywhere, transporting grain was not tiring, so all powerful forces were eliminated and the world was conquered.

159. sheepskin torture is finally completed

Two people, one carrying salt and the other carrying firewood, put down their heavy burdens and rest in the shade. They were about to leave, fighting over a sheepskin, and everyone said it was their own bedding. Li Hui sent a quarrelling man out, looked at the official in charge of paperwork in the state and said, "Can this sheepskin torture the owner?" The following people didn't answer. Li Hui ordered people to put the sheepskin on the seat, beat the sheepskin with a stick, saw a little salt crumbs and said, "It's confirmed by the sheepskin." Let those who struggle for power and profit see the situation clearly, and those who carry firewood will admit their mistakes.

160. Kong Rong's debate

Those who come to your door are talented, lofty, praised, and cousins and so on. , and then inform them. Kong Rong went to his door and said to the official, "I am a relative of Li Fujun." After being informed, Kong Rong sat down. Li Yuanli asked, "What do you have to do with me?" A: "In the past, my ancestor Kong Qiu and your ancestor Li Er had a teacher-student relationship, and I was friends with them for life." Li Yuanli and his guests were not surprised. Chen Wei, a doctor of Chinese medicine, then arrived. Others told Chen Wei what Kong Rong said. Chen Wei said, "You were smart when you were young, but you may not be better when you grow up." Kong Rong said, "You must have been very clever when you were a child." Yang Chen was very embarrassed.

They are going to grab them separately and climb a tree, dozens of steps apart. Soon, the wolf came and disappeared into the cave, looking very scared. The boy boy twisted the wolf's hooves and ears in the tree to make it howl on purpose. When the wolf heard the sound, he raised his head and ran angrily under the tree, howling and scratching. A servant let the wolf howl in another tree. Wolf heard the sound, looked around, only saw it, so he left here and ran there, howling as before. At first, the tree howled and turned to it. The wolf kept howling, and his feet kept going back and forth dozens of times. Running has become slower and the voice has become weaker. Later, he was dying (lying on the ground) and didn't move for a long time. The boy servant came down and saw it. He was out of breath.

Liu Bang once discussed the talents of generals with Han Xin in his spare time. Each has its own high and low. Liu Bang asked, "How many soldiers can I command like myself?" Han Xin said, "Your Majesty, you can only command one hundred thousand people." Liu Bang said, "How much can I command for you?" Han Xin replied, "The more soldiers I command, the better." Liu Bang said with a smile: "The more soldiers you command, the better. Then why should I control it? " Han Xin said, "Your Majesty can't command soldiers, only lead generals. That's why Han Xin is under your control. Moreover, your majesty's ability is innate and cannot be achieved by human efforts. "

Andy's neighbor lost a sheep, so he took his family with him and invited Andy's son to drive the sheep together. Andy said, "Haha, that's just a lost sheep. Why do so many people want to find it? " The neighbor said, "There are many forks in the road." Soon, they came back. Andy asked, "Did you find the sheep?" The neighbor replied, "I ran away." Andy said, "How can you escape?" The neighbor replied, "There is another fork in the road. I don't know which way the sheep escaped. " So I came back. "

164. Call a deer a horse

On the first day of August, Zhao Gao will rebel. He was afraid that the ministers would not listen to him, so he made an experimental plan first and brought a deer to the second one, saying, "This is a horse." The second one smiled and said, "The Prime Minister made a mistake and called the deer a horse." When asked about the ministers, some were silent, some deliberately catered to Zhao Gao, saying it was a horse, and some said it was a deer. Zhao Gao took the opportunity to secretly frame those who said they were deer under the guise of the law. Since then, ministers have been afraid of Zhao Gao.

165. Strange goods can live.

Zi Chu, the grandson of the Princess of Qin, was taken hostage in Zhao. He doesn't have rich chariots and horses and daily wealth, and he feels embarrassed and dissatisfied. Lv Buwei went to Handan to do business. When he met Zi Chu, he sympathized with him and said, "Zi Chu is like a strange commodity that can be hoarded. In order to sell at a high price. " So he went to visit Zi Chu and said to him, "I can expand your family." Zi Chu smiled and said, "You can form your own family first, and then mine!" Lv Buwei said, "You don't understand, my door will light up only when your door is lit up." Zi Chu knew what Lv Buwei meant, so he sat down and went further with him. Lv Buwei said, "The king of Qin is old, and Guo Jun is a prince. I heard privately that Ann Guo Jun dotes on Mrs. Huayang very much. Mrs. Huayang has no son, and only Mrs. Huayang can choose a prince.

Now your brother has more than twenty people, and you are in the middle, not favored by the king of Qin, and have been held hostage in the vassal state for a long time. Even if the king of Qin dies and a Guo Jun succeeds to the throne, you can't expect to compete with your eldest brother and other brothers around the king of Qin for the position of Prince sooner or later. "Zi Chu said," Yes, but what should I do? " Lv Buwei said, "You are poor and embarrassed, and you are a guest living here, so you can't give your parents anything and make friends. Although I am not rich now, I am willing to use my daughter to lobby you to go west to Qin State and serve Mrs. An and Huayang, so that they can make you a prince. Zi Chu kowtowed and thanked him and said, "If your plan comes true, I would like to share the land of Qin with you. "
