Yan Zi will make Chu. Hearing this, the King of Chu said to the left and right, "Yan Ying, a poet of the State of Qi, is one of them. Today, I want to humiliate it. Why? " "For his sake," said the left and right, "I'll ask you to tie someone up and walk over the king. The king said, "What is it?" Yes,' Qi people are also.' The king said, "Why sit down?" You said,' Sit down and steal.
Yan Zizhi, the king of Chu, gave Yanzi wine, which was filled with wine. Two officials tied a man to the king of Chu. The king said, "What about those who are bound?" He said, "Qi people are also thieves." The King of Qi looked at Yan Zi and said, "Are Qi people good at stealing?" Yan Zi avoided the table and said, "Babies smell it, but oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei. Leaves are similar to disciples, but they taste different. What's that? Soil and water are different. Now people's livelihood is better than Qi's, but they stole it when they went to Chu. If he has soil and water without Chu, then the people are good and thieves. " Wang smiled and said, "saints are not interested in happiness, but I am interested in disease."

Yan Zi went to the State of Chu. Knowing that Yanzi was short, the monarch and the ministers of Chu opened a small door next to the gate and invited Yanzi in. Yan Zi refused to go in. He said, "I only go in through the dog hole when I visit the dog country. I'm going to Chu today, so I can't go into this cave. " The person who greeted the guests entered the gate with Yan Zigai.
Yan Zi visited the King of Chu. The king of Chu said, "Is there no one in Qi? How can I send you? " Yan Zi replied: "There are 7,500 families in Linzi, the capital of Qi State. When people open their sleeves together, the sky becomes dark. " Sweat together, it will merge into a rainstorm; Pedestrians in the street lean on their shoulders and their toes touch their heels. How can you say there is no one? "The king of Chu said," In that case, why did you come? " The answer was: "Qi sent envoys. According to different targets, talented people were sent to talented kings, and those without talents were sent to kings without talents. I, Yan Ying, am the least talented person, so I can only send messengers to Chu. "
Yan Zi will be sent to the State of Chu. When the King of Chu heard the news, he said to his men, "Yan Ying, who is good at rhetoric in the State of Qi, is here now. I want to humiliate him. What can I do? " His men replied, "When he comes, please allow us to bind a man and walk in front of the king. The king asked, "What do people do?" A: "He is from Qi." The king of Chu asked again, "What crime have you committed?" The answer is: "I committed theft."
When Yanzi arrived in Chu, the king of Chu invited Yanzi to drink. While drinking happily, two officials tied a man to the king of Chu. The king of Chu asked, "Who is tied up?" The deacon replied, "It is the people of Qi who commit theft." The king of Chu said to Yan Zi, "Are people in Qi good at stealing?" Yan Zi left his seat and solemnly replied, "I've heard of such a thing. Oranges grow in Huainan and become bitter oranges in Huaibei, but the leaves are similar in shape and the fruits taste completely different. What is the reason? The water and soil are different. Now people don't steal when they live in Qi, but only when they arrive in Chu. Is it because of the soil and water of Chu that people are good at stealing? " King Chu said with a smile, "A saint can't joke with him, and I'm bored myself."
