A short story about the selflessness of the Grand Duke 10

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Pinggong once asked Qi Huanggong and said: "Nanyang County lacks a county magistrate, you see, who should be sent to be the more suitable?" Qi Huangyang said without hesitation

Calling Xie Hu is the most suitable. He'll be up to the task! Pinggong asked him again in surprise

You only ask me who is competent and who is the most suitable; You didn't ask me if Xie Hu was my enemy! So, Pinggong sent Xie Hu to Nanyang County to take office. After Xie Hu arrived.

You see, who is up to the task? Qi Huanggong said: "Qi Wu can do it."

Qi Huanggong said it too well! He recommends people based on his talent, not because he is his enemy and is prejudiced, so he does not recommend him; It is not because he is his own son that he is afraid of being discussed, so he does not recommend it. Only people like Huang Qiyang can say that they are "selfless"!

It refers to being fair and upright, not favoritism, and selflessness. Completely for the sake of the interests of the people, without any selfishness.

When Jin Ping was the emperor, there was a place called Nanyang that lacked an official. Jin Pinggong asked Qi Huangyang: "Who do you think can be this county official?"

Qi Huangyang said: "Xie Hu is a good person, he is suitable for this county official." Pinggong was surprised, and he asked Qi Huangyang:

You're asking who can be a county official, not who is my enemy. Pinggong thought that Qi Huangyang was right, so he sent Xie Hu to Nanyang as a county official. After Xie Hu took office, he did a lot of good things for the local area, and was generally praised by the people of Nanyang.

After a while, Pinggong asked Qi Huangyang again: "Now that there is a shortage of judges in the court, who do you think can take this position?" Qi Huangyang said

Qi Wu can take responsibility. Pinggong felt strange again, "Isn't Qi Wu your son?" Qi Huangyang said

Qi Wu is indeed my son, but you are asking who can be a judge, not if Qi Wu is my son. Pinggong was very satisfied with Qi Huangyang, so he sent Qi Wu to be a judge, and later Qi Wu really became a good judge who could enforce the law fairly.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Nanyang County lacked a county magistrate, so Jin Pinggong asked Qi Huangyang who to send. Qi Huangyang suggested letting Xie Hu go. Pinggong said in surprise after hearing this

Isn't Xie Hu your enemy? Qi Huangyang said: "You only asked me who was competent, and you didn't ask if Xie Hu was my enemy!"

A few days later, due to the vacancy of a judge's position in the court, Pinggong asked Qi Huangyang's opinion again, and this time Qi Huangyang recommended his son Qi Wu.

I recommend him because he is up to the task, regardless of whether he is my son or not! After hearing these two things, Confucius said: "Qi Huangyang is really selfless, and he is not prejudiced because he is his enemy; Nor because he is his own son, he is afraid of being discussed, so he does not recommend it.

Later, people used the term "selflessness" to refer to those who act out of the collective interest and have no personal agenda.

The story of the idiom of the great duke is as follows:

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Pinggong once asked Qi Huangyang and said: "Nanyang County lacks a county magistrate, you see, who should be sent to be more suitable?" "Qi Huang Yang Hao.

Without hesitation, he said: "It's the most appropriate to call Xie Hu to go." He'll be up to the task! Ping Gong asked him again in surprise: "Xie Hu is not yours."

Is Xie Hu my enemy? ”

So, Pinggong sent Xie Hu to Nanyang County to take office. After Xie Hu arrived. He did a lot of good deeds for the people there, and everyone praised him.

After some days, Pinggong asked Qi Huangyang again: "Now there is a lack of a judge in the imperial court. You see, who is up to the task? ”

It's not my son! "Pinggong sent Qi Wu to be a judge.

Qi Wu became a judge and did many good things for people, and was very popular with people.

standard, not because he is his enemy, prejudiced, do not recommend him; It is not because he is his own son that he is afraid of people's opinions, so he does not push it.

Recommend. Only people like Huang Qiyang can say that they are "selfless"! ”
