After completing a rebellion and suppression, Chu Zhuangwang, who had great face, immediately hosted a banquet for the hard-working ministers. Of course, kings are more likely to enjoy it. The banquet should be not only flashy, but also accompanied by beautiful women. So Chu Zhuangwang called his beloved wives out to entertain them.
During the whole banquet, the sound of silk and bamboo, the sound of singing and dancing, and the sound of dining tables were heard, and it was still not full at night. Chu Nai arranged a candlelight dinner, and specially invited two favorite beauties, Ji Xu and Maggie, to take turns toasting civil servants and generals. A minister took the opportunity to touch the beautiful jade hand of Ji Xu. Ji Xu was furious, so he broke the tassel belt on his hat, and then asked Chu Zhuangwang to light a lamp and check everyone's tassels in order to find out the indecent minister.
However, Chu Zhuangwang, who has great political wisdom, thinks: "If you give them wine, they will become rude when they are drunk. How can you humiliate your courtiers to show a woman's honor? " So the messenger said, "Let's all have a drink with me tonight. Unless the bottle cap is broken, it will not be fun! " "So the princes took off their hats and held lanterns. Finally, the monarch and his ministers had a good time and left. They had a good time.
Back in the palace, Ji Xu blamed Chu Zhuangwang for not taking it out on her. Chu Zhuangwang said: "The purpose of this banquet is to have a wonderful time and coordinate the relationship between the monarch and the minister. It is human nature to lose your temper after drinking. If you want to investigate the responsibility and punish him, isn't it a big brake? " Xu Ji realized Chu Zhuangwang's intention.
Seven years later, he marched on Zheng, who was between Chu and Jin. At this time, one of his generals took the initiative to lead his men to clear the way, which quickly cleared the marching obstacles and even hit Zheng's capital. When rewarding this brave soldier, Don is cunning. The cunning Tang not only refused to accept it, but also told him, "Seven years ago, at the banquet, I molested your favorite concubine." Today, all this is to repay your kindness seven years ago. "
The picture comes from the internet.
Later, in order to praise Chu Zhuangwang's generosity, people called this banquet "Dead Feather Banquet", which is the origin of the Dead Feather Banquet.
For Chu Zhuangwang's wedding banquet, later historians thought that Chu Zhuangwang had such a broad mind and profound insight into human nature, so he should become the overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, people who say big things should still be informal. If it's not an unforgivable mistake, you'd better forgive it. Why not give yourself a chance while giving others a chance?
