Zisang, Zizhang and Fazhang are all disciples of Xiaoyi. Zisang and Fazhang inherited the representatives of the Legalist family, while Zi Zhang inherited the representatives of the Military family.
The three insects stood in the field, with green grass floating in the wind. They stood under the sunset and vowed to say goodbye to each other. Zi Zhang entered Qi and met Su Qi, a nobleman of Qi State. Zizhang entered Su Qi's house and saluted, "Zizhang is here to see Su Qi." Su Qi sat in front of a few tables and looked down upon Zizhang in front of him, saying, "I don't know why you came to my house, sir? "Zizhang said: "I have heard that among the nobles of Qi, Su Qi is the most wise, and he came here to seek refuge." Su Qi looked at Zizhang and asked, "I wonder what your master is capable of?" Zi Zhang said: " Zizhang learned the art of war from my husband. In addition, Zizhang is a Chong of Qi State, so he should serve his country." When Su Qi heard that Zizhang was a Chong of Qi State, he became very enthusiastic and said: "Sir, please sit down. "Zizhang then sat aside. Su Qi looked at Zizhang and asked, "I wonder who your husband is?" Zizhang said, "Little ant." Su Qi said happily: "Sir, you can join me. It's the blessing of the Qi State." Zi Zhang said: "The big insect is over-reputed, and Zi Zhang only learned a little bit." Su Qi said with some guilt: "It was not my original intention for your husband to be trapped in Langya. Your husband has God's will. It's because the old prime minister's country can't tolerate it." Zi Zhang said: "I already know about this, so don't blame yourself." Then he presented the art of war he had written. After Su Qi took it, he put it next to the tables and asked, "What book is this?" Zizhang looked at the art of war beside the cases and said, "This is the art of war and its formation diagrams written by Zizhang. Please invite me." Let's take a look." Su Qi said: "Okay, I will go and see. I wonder where Mr. lives?" Zi Zhang said: "Among the guest posts in Linzi City, there is Yuelai Inn." Su Qi said: "Okay, how many days later? Tianding came to visit." Zizhang walked out and said, "I am waiting for the arrival of the big insect in the inn." Then he bowed and retreated.
In the middle of the night, Su Qi sat in front of several cases and read the Art of War written by Zizhang. He couldn't put it down, especially when he saw the paragraph "Using troops depends on planning, using troops to defeat the strategy, attacking the city and attacking the heart..." suddenly stood up and sighed. He said: "A genius, a military genius." Then he called in a servant and said: "Prepare the car, I want to go into the palace to meet the king." The servant said with some worry: "Sir, the king must have gone to bed by this time." Su Qi Dao: "I am here to promote talents for the country."
Su Qi walked out of the mansion, got into a car, and was driven into the palace by his servants overnight to pay homage to King Qi. The carriage stopped in front of the Qi Palace, and a eunuch stopped him in front of the palace gate. Su Qi asked: "Is the king still there?" The eunuch said: "Su Da Chong, the king has gone to bed. Da Chong should come back tomorrow." Su Qi said anxiously: "This matter cannot be delayed, cannot be delayed." The eunuch saw Su Qi looked anxious and went into the harem to report to King Qi. King Qi was awakened from his sleep and entered the front hall reluctantly.
When Su Qi saw King Qi walking out, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." King Qi looked at Su Qi, walked up and sat in front of several cases, and said, "Su Qing, please stand down." Su Qi then stood up. King Qi said anxiously: "Su Qing, look at what time it is now? Is there anything urgent that can't be discussed in court tomorrow morning?" Su Qi took out a slip from his long sleeve and presented it, saying: " Please take a look at it, your Majesty." King Qi said: "It's midnight, you ask me to look at these letters." King Qi didn't understand very much, and thought it was a call from Qin, but it turned out to be this matter, so he reluctantly took it He asked: "What is this book?" Su Qi replied: "A book on war." King Qi opened the slip, and Su Qi stood aside and said: "Wizard, what a wizard!" King Qi raised his head and asked: "What kind of book is this book on war?" Written by?" Su Qi said: "I am about to recommend this insect to your Majesty. Your Majesty must have met it once. It is Zi Zhang, a disciple of Xiao Yi." Su Qi knew it as soon as he mentioned Xiao Yi. Su Qi said again: "Your Majesty, you don't know. This Zi Zhang is a worm from our country of Qi." King Qi stood up and said, "You said it is a worm from the country of Qi." Su Qi said, "That's right." King Qi said, "I am a widow. Chong already knows, please step back." Su Qi bowed and exited the Qi Palace.
The next day, during the morning court, the King of Qi summoned Zi Zhang, who entered the palace of the King of Qi. When he saw the King of Qi, he knelt down and said, "The common people pay homage to the King." The King of Qi sat in the main hall and said, "Sit down." Zi Zhang then stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." King Qi asked, "I heard from Su Qing that you are a bug from the state of Qi." Zi Zhang replied, "Back to my king, the grass people are bugs from Jucheng, Qi State." Prime Minister Qi stepped forward. Asked: "I wonder why you came to our country of Qi?" Zizhang faced Prime Minister Qi and said: "Prime Minister, the livelihood of the people is for the country of Qi, and you should serve the country of Qi. I don't know what's the problem with this?" Prime Minister Qi Standing aside, he said: "I know your husband is a little ant. He uses his sharp tongue to persuade the king, but he has no political achievements to convince the king. He only preaches benevolence and righteousness. This is why I don't like your husband." The reason." Zi Zhang said: "The prime minister is too worried. My husband preaches benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trust. Ruling the country with etiquette has his own principles. The prime minister uses the art of balance to control the ministers to balance their strength. There is also a prime minister. It is not suitable for Zizhang to comment on this. My husband once taught me that to be an insect, you must be upright. You must first improve your self-cultivation and correct your own morals, and then have the world in mind." Xiangguo said: "If you are allowed to govern Qi, you will What will happen?" Zi Zhang said: "Cultivation of virtuous government internally and military preparation externally. Our country of Qi is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so we can benefit from fish and salt and develop mountains and seas. This is a strategy to enrich the country. Expand the military externally and divide the country into two. Eleven townships. The townships of industry and commerce are six, and the townships of scholars are fifteen. The townships of industry and commerce do not engage in warfare, and they turn combat into the townships of scholars and fifteenths. The five townships are one division, with the king leading the middle army, and the two ministers each leading the five townships. The left and right armies are three armies. This is the country of three. There are ten companies in one township, ten li in one company, ten tracks in one li, five families in one track, and one track for five families. These are the five states. There are five in the track. Family, because they have lived together for generations, have the same interests, disasters, and blessings, have the same rules, and fight with the same strength, this is the strategy to strengthen the army." The old prime minister said with some shame: "I am old, I should give way to the wise!" King Qi Sitting in the main hall, he said, "I have seen Sir's art of war. I wonder what I should reward you for?" Zi Zhang looked to the King of Qi and said, "As there is no reward for no merit, please give Zi Zhang twenty maids. "Zizhang asked the King of Qi for twenty maids. As soon as he said this, everyone in the court was shocked. They all thought that Zizhang was a lecher. King Qi looked at these ministers trying to smooth things over for his son and said: "Those who do great things cannot avoid the temptation of women." After saying this, he tried not to laugh. Su Qi stepped forward and pulled Zi Zhang's sleeves and said, "I wonder what kind of medicine is buried in Mr.'s gourd?" Zi Zhang said, "These twenty palace ladies Zhang have their own arrangements. The big insect will know when the time comes." Don't ask, you big insect." Su Qi was speechless and stood back, wondering what your plans are for these twenty maids. King Qi stood up and said, "Okay, I will reward you with twenty palace ladies. Sir, are you satisfied?" Zi Zhang said, "Yes."
Zizhang brought twenty maids into the palace. One of the maids stepped forward and said, "I'll wait for the gentleman to go to bed." Zizhang turned around and became serious, saying, "You guys, please step aside." He turned and looked at these people. The look in the palace maid's eyes made them a little scared. Zizhang said: "Fifty-five lines up." These palace maids were a little at a loss. They all thought that Zizhang was playing a joke on them, so they acted coquettishly to seduce Zizhang. Zizhang stood up and stood in front of several cases and said: "My residence is like being in a military camp. In the military camp, soldiers must obey the orders of their superiors and cannot disobey them. Do you hear clearly?" These maids turned a deaf ear to his words. . A palace maid came forward and said: "War is your business. Sir, you won't let us females fight in battle." Zizhang said sternly: "When the country is in danger, all the people are soldiers, let alone you?" and elected Two palace maids served as captains, and Zizhang stood in front of them and said: "One order of drums is in formation; two orders of drums are for holding the spear; three orders of drums are to advance; four orders of drums are to change the formation; five orders of drums are to retreat; Ming Jin retreated his troops. Did you hear clearly?" Zizhang then said: "I don't have war drums here." Then he retreated to several cases, sat down, picked up the bamboo slip, held it in his hand, and said, "This bamboo slip is my order. ." Zizhang's move greeted the palace ladies with laughter and said: "Okay, okay, we all listen to Sir." Zizhang threw out a bamboo slip and shouted: "Array, array." These The maids stood in a mess, bumping into each other, and said playfully: "Oh, my foot is sprained." The other maids laughed as they staggered around, unable to join the army. Zi Zhang stood up angrily and said, "Where is the military attache?" The guard guarding the door came in and saluted, "Big insect." Zi Zhang said, "Three orders and five orders have been passed. What should I do if the general order cannot be passed?" The guard replied, "Of course. "Behead." Zi Zhang said: "If the restraints are not clear and the order is not familiar, it is a crime for the general; it is a crime for the officials to know the law but not follow the law. Drag the captains on the left and right out and behead!" The two maids kept begging for mercy. , knelt down and shouted: "Big insect, I know you are wrong, please spare my life!" Zizhang threw out the bamboo slips and said: "Military orders are like mountains, drag them out and kill them!" The guards dragged the two palace maids out and beheaded them at the gate of the palace. outside. These palace maids were all afraid of him when they heard his voice. Standing in formation, a square formation is formed. Zi Zhang threw out a bamboo slip and said: "Hold the spear." The bamboo pieces in the hands of the palace maids stood upright, and the bamboo pieces were the long spears in their hands. Zizhang threw out the bamboo slips and said: "Go forward." The bamboo slips moved forward, made an offensive, and moved forward, shouting one after another: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" spread outside the gate of the house. Zizhang threw out the bamboo slips and said: "Change the formation." The square formation separated from the middle to form vertical rows, then transformed into a formation of five and five to form a four-square circular formation, and then closed again to form a square formation. Zizhang threw out the bamboo slips and said: "Retreat the troops." The maids dispersed. Zizhang stood up and walked out. He immediately showed a smile and said, "You have all worked hard. Go back and have a rest." After all the palace maids had left, Zizhang walked out of the palace, called several guards and ordered: "Bring these two offenders to justice." The court ladies of the Military Law should be buried properly." The guards carried the bodies of the two court ladies down and buried them in a place with green mountains and green waters. The next day, he took these palace ladies to worship and served as a warning to them.
On this day, Zizhang entered the palace of King Qi, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." King Qi stood up and walked up to him, saying, "Sir, please stand down." Zi Zhang stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." King Qi walked up and sat in front of several cases. , looked at Zizhang standing in front of him, and said: "Sir, please sit down." Zizhang thanked him and knelt down and sat aside. King Qi looked at Zizhang and asked: "I heard that Mr. killed two palace maids last night. Is there anything wrong with it?" Zizhang said: "Yes." King Qi was a little puzzled, and he must be thinking in his heart, "The reward for the widowed insects" I gave you twenty palace maids and it was not enough for you to kill, so I asked, "I don't know why, sir?" Zizhang replied, "Anyone who doesn't obey the general's orders will be killed!" After hearing this, King Qi laughed and said, "It turns out that sir, you will kill your palace." It's been used as a military camp. Sir, you have really good intentions! Well, I will reward you with twenty more maids." Zi Zhang looked at King Qi and said, "I wonder why, Your Majesty?" King Qi kept laughing and said, "Just now The widow is thinking that twenty palace ladies are not enough for you to kill." Zizhang said, "Zizhang also needs to borrow a few more pairs of armor, spears, and a pair of war drums from the king." King Qi said, "Sir, do you still need to borrow them? ? Just take it if you want."
