Wang has a younger brother named. He was brought up by his brother since childhood, and they have a good relationship. It happened that Wang Liqing was honest and upright. As an adult, he doesn't like his brother's addiction to food and drink. After repeated unsuccessful persuasion, he colluded with the minister to launch a coup, blew his younger brother off the stage and sat on the throne himself.
Finally, Wang Liqing cares about brotherhood and treats his brother well. Instead of executing the king, he was locked in a small room in the backyard of the palace. Although the room is not spacious enough, there are doors and windows, and the doors are never locked and the windows are always open. Of course, the dimensions of doors and windows are strictly measured and designed. With the king's huge body when he was arrested, he couldn't get in or out at all. If Wang wants to leave here, he must stick to a diet to lose weight.
Some old ministers reprimanded his brother for being seemingly tolerant but cruel, saying that the room he provided to the king could not enter and leave normally, and in fact, like a prison, it restricted personal freedom. Wang Liqing shook his head and made a solemn promise to everyone: "I didn't treat my brother as a prisoner. As long as he can get out of that room, not only can he regain his freedom, but I will also return to the throne intact. " Hearing the statement, the old ministers had nothing to say, so they ran to the king one after another and told him that he must go on a diet to lose weight and regain the throne.
Of course, after all, Wang Liqing refused to return the throne to his brother easily. He made this promise only because he knew the weakness of Wang's gluttony. Every day, he sends his men everywhere to search for strange smells, and then sends food to the small room for his brother to enjoy.
The king who failed to live up to his expectations did not seem to realize the great significance of regaining his freedom and throne. He really can't resist the temptation of those delicious foods. Every time something delicious is put in front of him, he wolfs it down and is not encouraged by others.
The more delicious the food, the happier Wang Yue is and the fatter he grows. After being "imprisoned" for a few days, his weight increased instead of decreasing, and the hope of being king again became increasingly slim. This really angered the loyal old ministers, who accused Wang of being extremely stupid and completely lost his ambition to be king, leaving only a delicious mouth.
Wang remained unmoved. He lived in that room for eight years until he was found dead in bed one morning, with half a plate of leftover abalone and a suicide note to his brother beside the bed.
Wang Liqing read the letter and burst into tears:
"Brother knows that every time I want to leave the room, my brother's doubts and scruples will increase by a thousand pounds ... so I can't help but eat in a fog.
Even if I lose weight successfully, I finally get away with it, and our brothers turn against each other, and one of them will definitely die of hatred ... So, I didn't hesitate, so I had to eat foolishly.
Please forgive my gluttony and my stupidity, because in this world, I only have you, my brother who appreciates each other. "
I wonder if that's what you're talking about
