Zichan said: "I am not snubbing Han Zi, nor do I have two hearts for the Jin Kingdom. It is precisely because I have consistently served the Jin Kingdom and for the sake of faithfulness that I politely rejected Hanzi. I have heard that 'a gentleman does not have the worry of not getting rich, only the fear of not getting good reputation.' I also heard that 'to govern the country, we are not worried about whether we can serve the big country and care for the small country, but whether we can refuse the rude demands of the other side.' 'If the people of the big countries make rude demands of the small countries, and they are all satisfied, how much wealth do we have to lose?' The small request is satisfied, but what about the big one? If a big country is extravagant, if it is satisfied, it will perish, if it is not satisfied, it will be cut down, and it will be a great crime to give or not to give.

"As the secretary of Zheng Guo, I will open the greed of a great country, which will definitely endanger the public office and desecrate my duties; Moreover, Han Zi was ordered to send an envoy, but he took the opportunity to ask for a bribe, and he was also guilty. Bribing a piece of jade to lead to two crimes, is this what you want to get the result? ”

When these words reached Han Qi's ears, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was ready to give up the idea of getting it, but the image of that piece of jade jue lingered in his mind day and night, lingering and not going away. Han Qi couldn't bear the torment of asking for it, so he was ready to spend a lot of money to buy it from the merchant.

The jade jue was a merchant's heirloom, and although he was unwilling, he had to sell it. The merchant was not greedy, and offered Han Qi a fair price, but put forward an additional condition. The merchant said, "The Master is a gentleman who is praised by the world, and you must grant the villain a request, that is, to inform the Lord of the matter." Otherwise, although the villain's status is low, he can't sell this thing. ”

Han nodded and agreed, and after the transaction was completed, he went to see Zi Chan and said, "I asked for jade that day, but the ruling government thought it was unjust, so I didn't dare to insist." Now I have bought it from the merchant and have come to report it to the Master. ”

Zichan said: "My ancestor Jun Huan Gong (Wang Ziyou, the younger brother of King Xuan of Zhou), Zheng people, and merchants all migrated here from the Western Zhou Dynasty (present-day Huaxian County, Shaanxi). The ancestors worked together to expel wolves and foxes, cut down thorns, level the land, build cities, and live together, which is what is today's Zheng State.

"After ascending the throne, Zheng Jun of all dynasties must swear an oath with the people, and the oath is the same: 'The people of the country shall not betray the office, the office will not interfere with the activities of the people, shall not buy and sell by force, and shall not take advantage of it; Chinese people have rare treasures, and the office does not need to know about them. With this kind of guarantee, the government and the opposition can protect each other.

"Is it appropriate for the Master to deign to come to the province to continue the friendly relations between the two countries, but now he has told him that he has forcibly bought the treasures of the Zheng people, which is to teach the Zheng people to betray their oath? If the master knew that if he got the jade, he would lose the princes, and he would definitely not buy it. The big countries will not be greedy for Zheng Guo and treat Zheng Guo as a border town. If I give the jade to the Master in private, I don't know what the benefit will be, so I ask the Master to consider carefully when I say these words to the Master in private. ”

Han Qi broke out in a cold sweat, he returned the jade jue to the merchant and said, "I was unwise and almost made a big mistake, so I will return it to you." ”

In the summer of April, Han Qi led a delegation to return to China, and Zheng Guoliuqing set up a banquet in the suburbs to see him off. During the banquet, Han Qi said: "Gentlemen, please give me poems and words, so that I can understand your wishes. ”

Zi Yan (Han Hu's son Han Yingqi) first gave "Wild Vines": "There are vines and grasses in the wild, and there is zero dew." There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. Encounters and encounters are suitable for my wishes. There are vines and grasses in the wild, and there is no dew. There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang. Encounter and meet, and meet with the son. Han nodded his head and praised: "Good, good, I have hope." ”

Next, the child gave "Lamb Qiu": "Lamb Qiu is free, and the fox Qiu is in the morning." Don't you think? Worried. The lamb is soaring, and the fox is in the hall. Don't you think? My heart is grieved. The Lamb is like ointment, and the sun rises. Don't you think? The center is mourning. Han Qi responded: "The master has an overreputation, I don't dare to be it." ”

Uncle Zi continued to give "Clothes": "Zihui thinks of me, and I am involved in clothes." If the son does not think about me, will there be no one else? The madness of the mad child! Zihui thinks of me, and wades in clothes. If the son does not think about me, is there no other? The madness of the mad child! Han Qi replied, "With me here, I don't dare to make the master and others toil." ”

Ziyou (the son of the belt) gave "Wind and Rain": "The wind and rain are miserable, and the chickens are chirping." Seeing a gentleman, he is not a fool. The wind and rain are dashing, and the chickens are chirping. When you see a gentleman, you don't have a sass. The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the roosters are crowing. Seeing the gentleman, Yunhu doesn't like it. ”

Ziqi (Gongsun Duan's son Feng Shi) gave "There is a lesbian car": "There is a lesbian car, Yan is like Shunhua." Will soar, Pei Yu Qiongju. Bimei Meng Jiang, Xun Mei and Both. There are female peers, Yan Ru Shunying. Will soar, Peiyu will general. Bimei Meng Jiang, Deyin does not forget. ”

Zi Liufu "Bably": "Bably, the wind blows the girl." Uncle and uncle, advocate and daughter. The wind is a girl. Uncle and uncle, advocating to have a daughter. ”

Han Qi looked happy and said, "Zheng Guo has hope!" The gentlemen wished me the order of Zheng Jun, and wrote poems to Zheng Zhi (the six poems are all from Zheng Feng and Huifeng), and they all hoped to develop friendly relations between the two countries. All of you gentlemen can be called the lords of the family for generations, and I have nothing to worry about. ”

Han Qi presented horses to Liuqing and endowed "I will": "I will enjoy me, Wei Yang and Wei Niu, and Wei Tian is the right." The ritual of the king of the penal text, the Quartet. King Ivan, both right-handed. I have been dreaming of the night, fearing the power of the sky, and protecting it at the time. ”

Zichan bowed down with Wuqing, and Zichan said: "Master can appease chaos and protect the country, dare not thank you for your kindness?" ”

After the banquet, Han Qi privately presented a beautiful jade BMW to Zi Chan, and said: "The master ordered me to abandon Yu Jue, is it to give me Baoyu (virtue) and save me from death, dare not bow down?" ”

After Han Qi set off, Zichan shook his head and said: "Han Zi is probably the last gentleman in the Jin Kingdom, after he leaves office, I am afraid that his successor will be Shi Ying, right?" The martingale is greedy and hateful, and destroying relatives is like destroying the enemy, so we should strengthen our preparations for war. ”

But who could have predicted that it was the descendants of this "last gentleman of the Jin Kingdom" who would destroy the Zheng Kingdom one hundred and fifty years later!

After the autumn, the drought in the land of China was rampant, and the Lu country held an autumn rain ceremony. And several magistrates of Zheng Guo broke their backbones: they wanted to curry favor with the Qingshi doctor, and they listened to the nonsense of a Donghu wizard, and even tried to cut down the trees on the sunny side of Sangshan, thinking that in this way they could ask for Ganlin.

When Zichan received the report, he immediately rushed over and canceled the stupid order, saying: "Trees can protect mountains and rivers, and they have always been protected by the office. You have committed a great sin by listening to false rumors and cutting down mountains without the permission of the office! After saying that, they were deprived of their official positions and fiefdoms on the spot.
