Chapter 12 blockbuster

During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Chunyu Kun in the State of Qi.He is very eloquent and good at speaking.He often uses some interesting lingo to persuade the monarch, so that the monarch is not only not angry, but also willing to accept it. At that time, the Wei Wang of Qi State was originally a very intelligent monarch, but after he came to the throne, he was addicted to wine and sex. Regardless of the state affairs, he only knew how to drink and have fun every day, and left all the proper affairs to the ministers. , I don't care about it.Therefore, politics is not on the right track, officials are corrupt and dereliction of duty, and princes from various countries also take the opportunity to invade, making Qi State on the verge of extinction.

Although some patriotic people in Qi State were very worried, but because they were afraid of King Qi, no one came out to persuade them. In fact, the Qiwei royal family is a very smart person. He likes to say some lingo to show his wisdom. Although he doesn't like to listen to other people's advice, if the advice is right, he will still accept it.Knowing this, Chunyu Kun thought of a plan, planning to find an opportunity to persuade King Qi Wei. One day, Chunyu Kun met King Wei of Qi and said to him, "Your Majesty, there is a riddle for Chen that I would like you to guess: the state-owned Jupiter has lived in the King's court for three full years. But it doesn't flap its wings to fly, it doesn't make a sound, it just curls up aimlessly, your majesty, guess what kind of bird it is?"

King Qi Wei was originally a smart man, and he could tell from hearing that Chunyu Kun was mocking himself. Like that big bird, as the king of a country, he did nothing but enjoy himself.And he was no longer a stupid king, so after pondering for a while, he resolutely decided to change his ways, cheer up, and do something vigorous, so he said to Chunyu Kun: "Well, you don't know about this big bird. If it doesn't fly, it will rush to the sky. If it doesn't sing, it will startle everyone. Just wait and see!" From then on, King Qi Wei was no longer addicted to drinking and having fun, but began to rectify Guozheng.First of all, he summoned all the officials in the country, rewarded those who were loyal and responsible, and punished those who were corrupt and incompetent.As a result, the whole country quickly cheered up and was full of vigorous vitality everywhere.

On the other hand, he also started to rectify the military, strengthen the force, and establish the prestige of the country.The princes of all countries were shocked when they heard the news. Not only did they dare not invade again, but they even returned all the land they occupied to Qi. King Qi Wei's deeds can be described as "a blockbuster"! So later people used the idiom "one blockbuster astonishing" to describe that if a person has an extraordinary talent, as long as he can use it well, once he exerts it, he will often do amazing things.
