After breaking Yan, he acceded to the throne, and those who kowtowed to attract talents wanted revenge. So I went to see Mr. Guo Kun. Mr. Guo Kun said: "Qi is due to the chaos of the lonely country.

After breaking Yan, he acceded to the throne, and those who kowtowed to attract talents wanted revenge. So I went to see Mr. Guo Kun. Mr. Guo Kun said: "Qi attacked Yan because of the chaos of the lonely country. I know too little about Yan Xiaoli to report. However, the wise and the * * * countries are ashamed of being the king of snow, and they are lonely. How dare they ask those who retaliate against their country? "

Translation of the first paragraph:

In twenty-eight years, Yan was rich, and foot soldiers were willing to go into battle lightly. So he took Le Yi as the general and conspired with Qin, Chu and Sanjin to cut Qi. The Qi army was defeated and ran away from home. Yan Bing went north alone, entered Linzi, won the seven treasures, and burned his palace and ancestral temple. The only people who can't get rid of Qicheng are Ju and Jimo.

After cleaning up the broken state of Yan, Yan Zhaowang ascended the throne. He is humble and respectful, recruiting talented people with generous gifts and heavy money, and is ready to rely on them for revenge. So he went to see Mr. Guo Kun and said, "Qi took advantage of the civil strife in our country and suddenly attacked and defeated Yan.

I know that the country is weak and it is impossible to take revenge. However, my wish is to let talented people run the country with them and wash away the shame of the former king. What should I do if I want to avenge my country? "

The second paragraph reads as follows:

Mr. Guo Kun said to him: "Emperor and teacher, monarch and friend, bully and minister, country and minister. Learn from the north and learn from yourself. Be anxious before profit, ask first before hey, and then who you are; People are often their own, so if they are their own; According to the staff, Monsoon ignored these instructions and the servants arrived. If you hit hard, you are a slave. This method of learning from the past is also. Wang Chengbo chose the sages of the whole country and walked to his door. When the world hears the sages of the dynasty, people all over the world tend to be embarrassed. " Zhao Haoqi said, "Who can I face?

Translation of the second paragraph:

Mr. Guo Kun replied: "The monarch who achieved the emperor's business took the sage as the teacher and shared with the DPRK." Be the king of Wang Ye, be friends with sages, and serve the DPRK; The monarch who has achieved hegemony, taking saints as ministers and cooperating with the DPRK; A king who perishes cannot protect his country if he takes saints as slaves.

Those who condescend to serve the sages and seek advice from the face teacher will come. Work before others, rest after others, ask for advice before others, others have stopped asking for advice, and they are still asking for advice.

Then, people who are ten times more talented than themselves will come; When others meet politely and quickly, they will greet them politely and quickly, so people with similar abilities come, leaning on several boxes and crutches.

Give orders everywhere and tell people what to do, and then odd jobs and hard labor will come; If you are cruel and rude to people, get angry casually and scold casually, then only prisoners and slaves who obey Nuo Nuo will come. These are ancient ways to practice kingship and attract talents. If the king can extensively select domestic talents and visit them in person, everyone will hear that the king will visit the sages in person, and all the sages in the world will definitely go to Yan State. "

Zhao Haoqi said, "Who should I visit?"

The third paragraph reads as follows:

"Mr. Guo Kun said," I heard that in ancient times, someone asked for a swift horse for 1000 yuan, but they couldn't get it for three years. Juanren said to Jun,' seek fortune for oneself.' You sent it. In March, you got a swift horse. When the horse died, you bought its first 500 gold to repay you. The king was furious and said,' If you ask for help, you will give birth to a horse and donate 500 gold to help the dead horse?' The man said to him,' What will happen if you buy a dead horse with 500 gold?

The king is the city horse in the world, and the horse will come today! So it's impossible. It takes a thousand miles to get to three. Today, if Wang Cheng wants to learn, he must start from Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao sees things, Kuang Xian is not as good as Wei Xiao? How far is it! "So Wang Zhao built a palace for Wei Xiao and learned from it. Go to Wei, Zou Yan to Qi, play Xin to Zhao, and scholars compete for Yan. The prince hanged himself and asked for his life, willing to be with the people.

Translation of the third paragraph:

Mr. Guo Kun said, "I heard that there was a king in ancient times who wanted 1000 yuan to buy a swift horse. Three years later, he didn't get it. A court minister in the palace said to the monarch,' Please let me buy it', and the monarch sent him. Three months later, he found a swift horse, but the horse died, so he bought the head of the dead horse with 500 gold and reported it to the monarch. The monarch was furious and said, "I want to find a live horse." What's the use of a dead horse as a living horse doctor? "Spent 500 gold in vain. '

The minister replied,' A dead horse is willing to pay 500 gold, let alone a live horse. From this, everyone in the world will think that it is good for the king to buy a horse, so a swift horse will buy it. "So, in less than a year, many swift horses were delivered to the door. If the king really wants to recruit talents, let's start with me; People like me are still employed, let alone people who are more talented than me. Will they not come to Yan because they are too far away? "

At this time, Yan Zhaowang specially built the official residence for Guo Kun, honoring him as a teacher. Soon, Le Yi came from Wei and Zou Yan came from Qi. The play comes from Zhao, and talents compete for gathering Yan. Zhao Haoqi mourned the dead, comforted the living and shared joys and sorrows with ordinary people. Twenty-eight years later, Yan became rich, and the soldiers lived comfortably and were willing to fight for their country.

Therefore, Zhao Haoqi appointed Le Yi as the general, and conspired with Chu, Qin, Zhao, Wei, North Korea and other countries to crusade against Qi. Qi was defeated and King Qi Min fled abroad. Yan's army alone chased and defeated the fleeing Qi army, occupied Linzi, the capital of Qi, plundered all the treasures there, and burned the palaces and ancestral temples of Qi. The cities of Qi were not captured, only Ju and Jimo.
