What is the story of Cai Henggong and what kind of person is Cai Henggong?

Bian Que Meets Cai Huangong" is selected from "Han Feizi Yu Lao".

Cai Huan Gong, that is, Tian Qi Huan Gong, the third Qi monarch after Tian's generation of Qi, nicknamed "Qi Huan Gong", because it is the same as Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai surnamed Qi of the "Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants", so it is called "Tian Qi Huan Gong" or "Qi Huan Gongwu" in history. Tian Qihuan's real name is Tian Wu, and history records that he "killed his monarch and his son and became a prince", which means that he killed Qi and abolished Gong Tian Yan and became self-reliant. During his reign, he established the Jixia School Palace, recruited wise men from all over the world, gathered disciples to give lectures, and wrote books and lectures.

For a while, there were many talents, and the scale reached its peak when Qi Xuan was king.

Cai Henggong is a stubborn person who does not listen to famous doctors.

In the fable of Bian Que's Treatment: Cai Huan Gong firmly believes that he is not sick because of his annihilation, and his attitude towards Bian Que changes from disbelief, to ignorance, to the final unhappiness, which causes the delay in the disease, and the minor illness becomes a major illness, and the illness is terminally ill, and there is no cure.

1. Cai Henggong pinyin: [cài héng gōng].

The so-called "Cai Huan Gong" in this article, according to research, should be the third monarch of Qi after the Tian family became Qi during the Warring States Period, and his nickname is "Qi Huan Gong", and the history is called "Tian Qi Huan Gong" or "Qi Huan Gongwu". His real name is Tian Wu, and the history records that he "killed his monarch and his son and became a prince", which means that he killed Qi and abolished Gong Tian Yan and stood on his own. During his reign, he established the Jixia School Palace, recruited the world's wise men, gathered disciples to give lectures, wrote books and said, and for a time the talents were gathered and prosperous.

Legend has it that the famous doctor Bian Que once saw a doctor for him, and persuaded him three times when the onset of the disease changed from mild to severe, Tian Wu did not listen because he was afraid of illness and avoided medical treatment, and later when Bian Que came again, he was now terminally ill and could not treat the rubber cover; Bian Bo had no choice but to turn around and retreat, and fled to Qin overnight, and soon Tian Wu fell ill and died. "Han Feizi Yu Lao" has the story of "Bian Que meets Cai Huangong". In fact, there was a Marquis of Cai Huan in the Spring and Autumn Period, he was the seventh generation of monarchs of Cai State in the Spring and Autumn Period (now in the area of Shangcai Jichuan County, Henan Province), the son of Cai Xuanhou, who succeeded Cai Xuanhou as the monarch of the country, and his reign was 714 BC - 695 BC.

Cai Henggong will be stubborn because of the strong principle of his personality, especially when judging problems and deciding things. He will stick to his ideas, reluctant to change his mind or take a new approach, even if it makes the brigade significantly more effective.

What exactly did Cai Huan Gong die?

In the article "Why Cai Henggong Died", Xiao Chen believes that Cai Henggong's death was due to the failure to give Bian Que the conditions, system, mechanism and environment to perform his duties. The article says:

If Bian Que is faced with Cai Huangong's illness, when many reminders are ineffective and his illness worsens, Bian Que is given a certain amount of coercive power from the institutional mechanism to ensure that he can save lives and help the injured, so that Cai Huangong's illness can be treated in time, then Cai Huangong's life can be continued." The author disagrees.

It is true that the cause of Cai Huangong's death is related to "autocracy". "Cai Huan Gong is a person who holds the power of life and death in his hands, which makes Bian Que, who knows his potential danger best, have no other way than to repeat his words." "If Cai Huangong had fully authorized Bian Que to perform his duties without worries, then Cai Huangong's illness would not have progressed from the epidermis to the bone marrow and eventually lost his life."

Here, Cai Huangong's death is completely self-inflicted, and has nothing to do with Bian Que at all. In fact, although Cai Huangong is "authoritarian", when Bian Que found out that Cai Huangong was sick, as a doctor, there were still many ways to persuade him to accept his own treatment, but Bian Que chose to respond negatively, just repeated remarks, which did not achieve the effect. Why Bian Que reacted negatively may be related to Cai Huangong's dictatorship, because if the handling method is not appropriate, it is possible that Bian Que's life will be lost.

From here, it can be seen that there are two reasons for Cai Huangong's death: one is Cai Huangong's "dictatorship". Because of his "autocracy", no one can worry about what to say; Because of his "dictatorship", when his body was sick, the healer did not dare to do his duty.

The second is that Bian Que did not and failed to fulfill his responsibilities. The system did not give Touchlong the power to restrain Empress Dowager Zhao, but Touchlong could still win the trust of Empress Dowager Zhao by comparing her heart to heart, and then persuade her to achieve her goals. Therefore, as a doctor, we must not only have the ability to take good care of patients, but also have a certain ability to do ideological and political work, so that we can achieve the goal of treating diseases and saving people, and only then can we fulfill our mission and fulfill our duties and responsibilities.

To solve both of these problems. First, Cai Huangong's power must be restrained, so that he does not have the power of "one person has the final say in everything". Once a person has "absolute power", it is difficult to supervise him.

Cai Huan Gong is an example, he is sick, although he does not know how to medicine, but he has "absolute power", he said that he is not sick, it is difficult for Bian Que to find a way to treat him, and as a result, he missed the opportunity and harmed himself; Second, it is necessary to regulate Bian Que's powers and responsibilities in terms of institutional mechanisms. Who has the final say on whether Cai Huan is sick or not? If I am ill, how can I be sure that I can be effectively treated?

Rather than simply giving Bian Que enough power. If we simply give Bian Que enough power, then how can we ensure that what Bian Que said and did was correct? In this case, it will undoubtedly create another kind of "dictatorship".

Rigid for his own use, avoiding illness and avoiding medical treatment, insisting on going his own way, and being terminally ill.
