In the past four years and five years of Wude, the land of Youyan in Hebei Province is a disaster every year, either flooding or drought, there is no food in the crops, it is not easy to eat, in order to solve the problem of eating, there is no condition, in order to solve the problem of eating for the people, Li Chengzong specially recruited a group of waiters in the past two years, yes, it is a waiter, not a eunuch, and there is no inhumane profession of eunuch in the Han Kingdom.

On the first day Luo Gang entered the palace, Wang Chengzhu, the head of the palace, told him that Li Chengzong, the king of Han, had a strange temper and told him to be careful and not to be reckless. Luo Gang should be cautious, talk less, do more, be open-minded and studious, and be diligent in his legs and feet.

Although Li Chengzong's palace is nominally a palace, it is actually similar to the courtyard of an ordinary large family, Luo Gang is in charge of the palace living room, and soon after entering the palace, Luo Gang found a strange thing: the palace has two living rooms in the east and west, the east is slightly larger, and the furnishings are simple, only a few chairs, a table, and what is even more strange is that these chairs are all broken one leg, only three legs left. The living room on the west side is a little smaller, but it is magnificently furnished, giving a sense of grandeur, with a complete table and chairs, and the chairs are all four-legged and not broken.

Luo Gang muttered to himself: The east living room is full of three-legged chairs, how can you sit on this?

According to the rules of the royal palace, every time a guest visits, the tables and chairs in the living room must be wiped again. On this day, Wang Chengzhu said that the King of Han wanted to entertain guests, and Luo Gang ran to the east and west living rooms and wiped all the tables and chairs.

After a while, the guests came, Li Chengzong glanced at the tables and chairs, and his face sank: "Why didn't you wipe the tables and chairs?" Wang Chengzhu hurriedly said on the side: "I just wiped it." Li Chengzong glared: "I see why it's not always clean, wipe it again!" Wang Chengzhu gave Luo Gang a look, and Luo Gang didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly walked over and carefully wiped the table and chair again.

After the guests left, Wang Chengzhu called Luo Gang aside and said, "Your Highness has a strange temper, we must be extra careful." This table and chair is wiped early, he can't see it, and his heart will feel unclean; If you wipe it late, it will delay the matter......" Luo Gang asked helplessly: "Then how to wipe it?" ”

Wang Chengzhu said: "It's best that you just finished wiping it and he just came in, so that it doesn't delay things and allows him to see it." ”

Luo Gang thought to himself, this is not difficult, as long as he comes to the living room in advance, finishes wiping the tables and chairs, and waits for Li Chengzong to come in, he will pretend to wipe it again, and this will be fine.

What is unexpected is that for several days, Luo Gang was scolded by Wang Chengzhu, because there were many guests in the palace recently, and Li Chengzong had no rules for meeting guests. Sometimes, Luo Gang wiped the east living room, but Li Chengzong went to the west living room to meet guests.

Luo Gang couldn't help but have a complaint in his heart: This His Royal Highness the King of Han is also really, the tables and chairs are wiped so clean, but he is not particular about the chairs themselves, and the three-legged ones are not repaired, how can people sit? Also, since the east living room is full of three-legged chairs, and it is unstable to sit on, why not lead all the guests to the west living room? In this way, there is no need to clean the east living room, and I won't be busy on both sides!

That day, a fat official came to the palace, Luo Gang thought, this uncle has to say 200 pounds, he should go to the west living room, the chair in the east living room is three-legged, I'm afraid I can't stand this uncle to sit.

Thinking about it like this, Luo Gang hurriedly ran to the west living room for a while, polished the tables and chairs bright, and waited for Li Chengzong to come in, and then wiped it one last time, but he couldn't wait for the left and the right, and after a while, he heard Li Chengzong shouting angrily outside: "Why don't you wipe the tables and chairs?" "When Luo Gang heard it, it was broken, this time it was the east living room - three-legged!

There is always a time for people to open their minds, and slowly, Luo Gang realized the essentials: those who enter the palace, all civil and military generals, dignitaries, and nobles, in short, have an identity, Li Chengzong will generally meet in the "three-legged" east living room; Ordinary people in average attire will be led to the west living room to enjoy the "four-legged" treatment.

This is really a strange thing, in the palace, the more noble the status, the more unpopular, why did Li Chengzong arrange it like this, Luo Gang couldn't make sense, anyway, it was such a law. After Luo Gang opened his mind, the number of times he was scolded by Li Chengzong was significantly reduced, and he also learned to be obedient, every time he heard that a guest was coming, he would run to Wang Chengzhu in a hurry, inquire about the identity and origin of the guest, and thus determine which living room to clean.

That day, Wang Chengzhu told Luo Gang that there was a guest in the palace. Luo Gang squinted his eyes and asked who it was, Wang Chengzhu shook his head and said he didn't know. Luo Gang had a clever head, and he squatted at the door and waited. After a while, a big man in coarse cloth clothes walked in the distance, his face was black and dirty, and he looked like a flat-headed person like a peddler and a pawn.

Luo Gang knew what to expect, turned around and ran to the west living room, while wiping the tables and chairs, he muttered: "Most of the people Your Highness sees are high-ranking officials and rich people, and they are worthless. ”

After wiping the table and chairs, Luo Gang straightened his ears, wanting to listen to Li Chengzong's footsteps, but there was no movement for a while, he leaned to the door and took a look, it was broken, only to see Li Chengzong leading the thick man, and actually walked to the east living room...... Luo Gang gasped, my mother, it's really a real person who doesn't show up, he looks sloppy, and he will receive such a high courtesy!

Luo Gang didn't have time to think about it, he ran to the east living room in three steps and two steps, and quickly wiped the three-legged table and chair, although Li Chengzong's face was a little unhappy, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot.

Luo just finished wiping the table and chairs and hurriedly slipped away, but he didn't go far, but hid in the corner of the courtyard, stretching his neck to look into the living room. At the beginning, the living room was quite calm, I didn't hear any sound, after about half a stick of incense, suddenly came the sound of Li Chengzong's loud scolding, and then later, "Ping Pong" made a chaotic sound, needless to say, Li Chengzong lost his temper and was smashing things!

Luo Gang hurriedly ran into the east living room, only to see Li Chengzong's face angry, and the thick man, who was scolded for a dog blood spray, did not dare to reply at all, after a long time, Li Chengzong said "Get out", and the big man left the living room with a sad face.

Luo Gang has been in the palace for a while, and he has been familiar with the process, so he is no longer so afraid, and now he saw Li Chengzong amiable, and took the opportunity to say the doubts that have existed in his heart for a long time: Li Chengzong meets guests, why should he divide the east living room and the west living room? Why does the chair have three legs and four legs?

Li Chengzong listened, pondered for a while, and said: "The four-legged chair is naturally flat and stable, and you don't need to be careful when you sit. And most of the people who come to me come to discuss the affairs of the state, and those who discuss major affairs, can they not care? I let them sit on a three-legged chair, and they will naturally sit upright, not daring to slack off, and pay attention when they sit and pay attention when they speak, which is the attitude when discussing the national economy and people's livelihood. There are also some people who come to the palace, there is nothing big about it, they don't need to talk and chat, they don't need to pay attention, let them go to the west living room, sit on a four-legged chair, sit more stable, and it's okay. ”

Hearing this, Luo Gang finally understood that those dignitaries and nobles who usually come to the house are here to talk about big things, and big things need to be taken care of, and there is no room for sloppiness, so they have to sit on a three-legged chair; And those ordinary people, or come to play chess, or come to gossip, there is no need to sit upright.

Luo Gang nodded again and again, admiring Li Chengzong's wisdom in dealing with the world, he really deserves to be a person like a true dragon emperor, and he admires Li Chengzong even more. Since then, every time he goes to the east living room to wipe down those three-legged tables and chairs, he has always been particularly attentive......
