Detailed:

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were three warriors in the Qi Jing Dynasty, one was called Tian Kaijiang, one was called Gongsun Jie, and the other was Gu Yezi, known as the "Three Heroes of Qi". These three people are all extremely brave and affectionate, and they are deeply favored by Qi Jinggong, but they are proud of their achievements. At that time, the Tian clan of Qi was becoming more and more powerful, directly threatening the rule of the monarch. And Tian Kaijiang belongs to the Tian clan, Xiangguo Yan Ying is worried that the "three heroes" will endanger the country by serving the Tian family, and repeatedly admonishes Jing Gong to get rid of the "three heroes", but Jing Gong cherishes the warriors and does not express his position.

coincided with Lu Zhaogong's visit to Qi State, and Qi Jing held a banquet to entertain him. Lu Guo by the uncle and grandson wax etiquette, Qi by Yan Zi etiquette, the four monarchs and ministers sit in the hall, the "three heroes" sword standing under the hall, the attitude is very arrogant. Yan Zi had a plan and decided to take the opportunity to get rid of these three henchmen.

When the two monarchs were half-drunk, Yan Zi said, "The peaches in the garden are ripe, can you pick a few and invite the two monarchs to taste them?" "Qi Jinggong is very happy, and he ordered someone to pick it up. Yan Ying hurriedly said: "Golden peach is rare, let's go in person." After a while, Yan Ying took the gardener and offered 6 peaches on a jade plate. When everyone saw it, they saw the 6 peaches on the plate, all of which were huge and fresh, pink like fire, fragrant and mouth-watering. Qi Jinggong asked, "Is this the end of these?" Yan Ying said: "There are a few that are not too ripe, and only these 6 are picked." After speaking, he respectfully presented a peach to Lu Zhaogong and Qi Jinggong. Lu Zhaogong praised the sweet taste of the peach while eating. Jing Gong said: "This peach is really rare, the uncle and grandson doctor are famous all over the world, you should eat one." Uncle Sun Nuoqian conceded: "Where can I catch up with Yan Xiangguo?" Xiang repaired the national politics at home, served the princes externally, and the credit was the greatest, and he should eat this peach. Qi Jinggong saw that the two were arguing, so he said: "Since the two of you are humble, let's drink a drink and eat a peach!" The two ministers thanked Qi Jinggong and ate the peaches.

At this time, there are still two peaches left on the plate. Yan Ying said; "Please send a message to the king's ministers, whoever has the greatest merit will eat peaches, how about it?" Qi Jinggong agreed, so he ordered to go down. As soon as the words fell, Gongsun took the lead and walked over, patted his chest and said: "Once I was hunting with the king, and suddenly a tiger jumped out of the forest. With such a great achievement, shouldn't you eat a golden peach? Yan Ying said: "The savior who risked death, the merit is better than Mount Tai, you can give a glass of wine and a peach." Gongsun took the wine and ate peaches, stood aside, very proud.

Seeing this, Gu Yezi shouted: "What's so strange about killing a tiger!" When I sent the monarch across the Yellow River, a big turtle made waves, bit the leg of the monarch's horse, and dragged the horse into the rapids. It was I who jumped into the raging river and sacrificed my life to kill the turtle and save the king's life. Should you eat a peach for such a merit? Jing Gong said: "At that time, the Yellow River was turbulent, and if it wasn't for the general to kill the monsters, my life would have been gone." This is a miracle, and you should eat peaches. Yan Ying hurriedly gave the remaining peach to Gu Yezi.

Tian Kaijiang on the side saw that the peaches were finished, and he was so anxious that he shouted: "Back then, I was ordered to crusade against the Xu State, sacrificing my life and death, beheading his famous generals, and capturing more than 5,000 Xu soldiers. With such a great achievement, can't you eat a peach? Yan Ying hurriedly said;" Of course, General Tian's merits are higher than those of Gongsun Jie and Gu Yezi, but the peaches are gone, so I have to wait for the peaches on the tree to ripen and then invite you to taste them. Drink the bar first. Tian Kaijiang pressed the handle of the sword with his hand and said angrily: "What's the big deal about fighting tigers and killing turtles." I fought in the north and south, I was born and died, but I couldn't eat peaches, and I was humiliated like this in front of the two kings, what face did I have to stand above the court? Then he swung his sword and killed himself. Gongsun was shocked, also drew his sword, and said: "I eat peaches because of my small merits, but General Tian can't eat them because of my great merits." What face do I have to live in the world? "I also committed suicide; Gu Yezi couldn't hold his breath anymore, and shouted: "The three of us became brothers, swore to live and die together, close as flesh and blood, and now that they are dead, how can I survive, and how can I be at peace in my heart?" After saying that, he also drew his sword and killed himself.

Lu Zhaogong was stunned when he saw this scene, and it took him a long time to stand up and say, "I heard that these three generals have the courage of ten thousand people, but unfortunately they all died for one peach." Qi Jinggong sighed and was silent; At this time, Yan Ying said unhurriedly: "They are all brave and unscrupulous. There are dozens of people in our country who are both wise and brave and full of generals, and there are even more such martial artists and reckless men. It's not a big deal to have a few people like that, so don't mind, please keep drinking!"

According to legend, since Liu An was young, he liked to seek immortals. After sealing the king of Huainan, he devoted himself to research, sending people everywhere to inquire about the art of old age and looking for the elixir of immortality. One day, suddenly eight white-haired and silver-bearded old men begged to see them, saying that they had the magic of old age, and they were willing to offer the elixir of immortality to the king of Huainan. When Liu An heard this, he was really overjoyed when he knew that it was an immortal who asked to see him, and hurriedly opened the door to greet him, but when he saw the eight old men, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. It turns out that the eight old men have white hair and silver beards, although they are in good spirits, but they are old after all! How can there be any anti-aging techniques? "You are all so old yourself, how can I believe that you have anti-aging spells? This is clearly a lie! Then he told the gatekeeper to drive them away. The eight old men glanced at each other and laughed: "Does King Huainan think we are old?" All right! Let him take a closer look at us, then! As he spoke, the eight old men suddenly became children in the blink of an eye. It is completely impossible for an old man to suddenly return to his childhood, so this is just a legend.

Her elder brother Dou Xianguan is a general, and he appointed the Dou family brothers as civil and military officials, and he holds the military and political power of the country. Seeing this phenomenon, many ministers were very anxious, and they all sweated for the Han family. Minister Ding Hong is one of them.

The idiom "regardless of oneself" means to forge ahead without regard for one's own safety.

This idiom comes from the Hanshu. Sima Qian's Biography", and then the servant looks at him as a strange person, filial piety, and scholars, financial integrity, righteousness, respectively, frugal, often thinking hard regardless of himself, in order to favor the country's urgency.

Li Ling, whose name is Shaoqing, was a famous general during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was very trusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and appointed him as a cavalry captain to lead the army to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu. Li Ling was good at cavalry and archery, and knew the art of war, so he was very trusted by the imperial court at that time.

Unexpectedly, in the battle with the Xiongnu, Li Ling was outnumbered and had no choice but to surrender to the Xiongnu. Hearing that Li Ling had surrendered, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very angry, thinking that Li Ling had insulted his trust in him, and the ministers of the court and China also accused Li Ling of being spineless.

Only Taishi Ling Sima Qian didn't think so, he said: "I have never had much friendship with Li Ling, but I see that he is very righteous, filial to his parents, and friendly to soldiers. He often wanted to save the country from disasters at all costs, so I think it is understandable that Li Ling was forced to surrender this time when he led less than 5,000 troops against tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, and finally was forced to surrender due to heavy casualties, running out of ammunition and food, and cutting off the way back. And I also think that his surrender this time was not because he was greedy for life, but because he wanted to wait for a favorable opportunity in the future to repay the country. ”

Sima Qian was reasonable, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he was defending Li Ling, and he did not distinguish between right and wrong, and put him in prison and carried out "corrupt punishment".

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also killed Li Ling's entire family. Li Ling was very sad when he found out, so he married a wife and started a family in the Xiongnu, and did not return to his homeland until he died, failing to realize his desire to sacrifice his life for the country.
