39. Millennium Fire

Historical books record: The Qin Imperial Doctor Ling Li Xi was not as skilled as others. He did not work hard, but was jealous, which made him unable to sleep or eat. He actually sent someone to kill the miracle doctor Bian Que. The fire of jealousy burned himself and destroyed others, which made people sigh. Li Xi murdered the miracle doctor, which might have been greedy for a temporary benefit, but it could not erase the brilliant achievements of the miracle doctor.

Bian Que's contribution to traditional Chinese medicine will be recorded in history forever. Li Xi was greedy for a while, but he left himself with an eternal infamy, and was forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and was despised for generations. Li Xi gained power for a while, and was rewarded for thousands of years, but the gain was not worth the loss.

The fire of jealousy began to burn since BC and continued until today after AD. It seemed that it had never been extinguished. I don’t know how many people it burned, but there is no statistics in history books. I don’t know if there is a fire of jealousy among animals. Maybe zoologists know. Why is the fire of jealousy so resistant to burning? Everyone knows that firefighters are good at putting out fires, and is it only a psychologist who can cure the fire of jealousy?

40. Be generous and tolerant of others can tolerate yourself, but the chicken intestines and belly cannot become a tool

During the Warring States Period, King Hui of Qin paid a lot of money to recruit talents and help govern the country. Soon, a man named Pang Juan was recruited. This man was very talented, and King Hui of Qin named him a general. Later, King Hui of Qin heard that Sun Bin was very talented, so he talked about Sun Bin to Pang Juan. Pang Juan sent someone to invite Sun Bin to jointly govern the country.

The idea was very good, but it encountered trouble when implementing it. Pang Juan found that his ability was far inferior to Sun Bin. He was afraid that Sun Bin would replace him one day, so he sued Sun Bin for a false charge. Even though Sun Bin was full of mouth, he could not wash away the dirty water that was poured from the house. Poor Sun Bin's two kneecaps were cut off, but he saved his life...

Sun Bin survives the disaster and will surely have good fortune. It happened that an envoy from Qi State went to Wei State, so he secretly brought Sun Bin back to Qi State, which was appreciated and valued by King Wei of Qi. Sun Bin's military talent was able to be used, and he led the Qi army to fight many victorious battles.

Pang Juan saved his temporary position, but failed to save his long-term life. In a battle with Qi, Pang Juan's troops were surrounded by the Qi army. Pang Juan saw that there was no way out, so he drew his sword and committed suicide. Pang Juan paid a heavy price for his calculations. The mechanism was too smart, but he calculated Qingqing's life. If Pang Juan could put national interests first and not care about personal gains and losses at the time, he would have the best of both worlds, not only strengthened the country, but also strengthened himself. Tolerant people can tolerate themselves, but it would be difficult to become a big shot.
