Once upon a time, King Chu Ling liked people with thin waists. Because of him, the civilian generals in the DPRK dared not eat more, and reduced three meals a day to one meal. Get up every day, hold your breath, tighten your belt, and then stand up with your hands against the wall. In this way, in order to please the king of Chu, the ministers in the DPRK forced themselves to do things they didn't like every day. Although everyone didn't talk much on the surface, they always secretly complained: Alas, why does the king like to have a thin waist? It makes us tighten our belts every day and even dare not eat more.
Ministers spent a year in such a muddle, but they didn't get to know each other as before, even in poor health. They often have a cold and fever, but they have been complaining in their hearts, but they can't say clearly.
The monarch of the neighboring country heard that the ministers of Chu were stupid enough to lose weight and gird their waists, and their eyes lit up with excitement, because this was a good opportunity for them to invade Chu. Ministers are in poor health, so it is difficult to direct a good battle.
At the beginning of the war, neighboring countries first sent troops to capture the border cities of Chu, which made Chu lose a lot of land. When attacking the strong fortress of the capital of Chu, the neighboring countries switched to lasting tactics, which made the Chu people panic. Later, with the help of Chu's friendly neighbors, they beat back the troops of neighboring countries and calmed the storm.
After the war, the king of Chu realized how stupid he was and ordered the whole people to keep fit properly. Ministers also praised the wise decision of the king of Chu. A few years later, Chu gradually prospered and became a powerful country.
"Do you need a reason to be thin?" King Chu said to the staff who came to ask, "I am the reason." The tape recorder will stop talking. The words of the king of Chu soon spread to the harem. These harem beauties were carefully selected from China in the beauty contest. They searched from west to east, from south to north, as meticulous as catching lice, and almost never let go of the rat hole in China. So all the beautiful women in the country gathered in the harem of Chu, and there were 2,999, if not 3,000.
Beautiful women are tall and thin, but this time the king of Chu is obsessed with a thin waist! After sighing, the beautiful women drastically cut back on their diet, hoping that their waistlines would become reed stalks overnight, so that the king would like them and get the title of concubine, and they would not starve to death when they were old. Beauty is like a cloud, Wang En is limited, and if there is more porridge, it is natural to compete hard. Several beautiful women have lost weight these days, and one of them has made outstanding achievements. Yingying shook her waist and dangled in front of the king of Chu. The eyes of the king of Chu dare not move. He looked back at the waist of the accompanying concubine around him, curled his mouth and kicked her under the seat. When several guards saw it, they climbed in like dogs and dragged the crying princess out. Liu Yao naturally became a new princess. When the beautiful women saw it, they were both envious and afraid. The waist rules are rich, but the waist is thick. This truth can be seen clearly by the blind. It seems that the problem of thin waist is not only a matter of competing for favor, but also a matter of fighting for life. Moreover, in order to satisfy the king of Chu, the harem food supply officer also greatly reduced the food supply, and he could not eat any more. Several beautiful women with thick waistlines have been dieting for many days, but they have not seen their waistlines become thinner. They were so anxious that they cried and tried to strangle them with silk. They couldn't breathe, couldn't walk away and dared not relax. From then on, all the beautiful women in Chu Palace were as thin as peeling onions, with thin arms and legs, long skin, high cheekbones on their faces, sunken eye sockets and thin waists. The palace was full of graceful charm, but no one reached the waist circumference of the spine and intestines that the king of Chu wanted.
One day, the guard came to report that a maid-in-waiting had died. The king of Chu was having a meal. He said he died without looking up. The guards also said that she starved to death. The king of Chu still did not move. The bodyguard looked at the face of the king of Chu and whispered that she was starved to death because the king of Chu liked to have a thin waist. The king of Chu suddenly got excited and said loyalty. He summoned the ministers to discuss the matter. As a result of the discussion, this woman is loyal and heartless, and abandoned her personal desires for the benefit of Chu. She is really a model of a generation of women. The king of Chu decided to erect a memorial arch for the woman in recognition, and called her your wife Zhen Lie. Her parents and relatives gave her an official reward, and the treasure was sent to the cart.
This move further inspired Americans to fight to the end, bravely changing a bowl of 100 millet porridge for breakfast to 60, and a cucumber for dinner to half. These days, many parents, relatives and friends enter the palace every day, shouting slogans and saying, keep on, keep on, and strive to build a memorial archway for family glory. There are some beautiful women who can't stand it. Seeing that the end of the road is getting closer and closer, they are afraid. More than 30 beautiful women decided to eat some meat, so they secretly stewed a chicken together. They didn't want to be seen by a group of relatives and friends who entered the palace, so they made a sudden snatch and took the chicken away, saying that it was no good, it was no good, and they really wanted to eat meat. It's enough for 30 of you to share a sparrow.
That night, another father brought some relatives and friends into the palace. His daughter is an aristocrat, and her waist is neither thick nor thin. The king of Chu was lukewarm to her. The father said with a calm face, "son, you can't wait any longer, and your waist won't lose weight." Can't you use your head when you see more opponents? " The nobleman had just eaten half a cucumber, but his eyes could still move flexibly and he still had some strength to speak. He asked, What should I do? Father didn't answer, just said, "Your brothers are ordinary people. He will be arrested and guarded next spring and will not come back for more than ten days. If they are blocked, they don't have to go. They still have wine and meat to eat every day. Our children and grandchildren are prosperous. Now, it is up to you. " The nobles seemed very confused. A friend who was studying nearby could not help but say, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Yiya served Qi Huangong and cooked her son for public food, which was a great pleasure for the public. Yiya is favored, ruling for a while, and the son of Yiya is virtuous! You don't want to work? " Soft-hearted relatives and friends said, "dear niece, you will die here sooner or later." Long pain is better than short pain, or die clean and decent. Your parents didn't raise you for nothing. " Another gentle relative said: "Swallowing gold when you die is the best way to make money, followed by throwing it into the river. Here, I have prepared a suicide note for you. " The noble barely opened his eyes, but it was a poem, saying: the waist of the water plant is really thin, and my waist is too thick. I would like to be a water plant that grows at the feet of the king. "Good poem!" Relatives and friends who have read this book exclaimed, twisting a few sparse beards and saying, "The dictionary is elegant, the artistic conception is remote, the feelings are sincere, and it is close to life. Brother Yu has recently sorted out the essence of poetry in previous dynasties, and this good brother should be in the bag." The person who wrote the poem immediately twisted it. They talked about poetry for a long time, but none of them fainted. They returned to the topic together and asked the aristocrat, "Have you thought about it?" The noble only felt his head swell, and when he saw his friends and relatives around him with green eyes and red mouths, he couldn't help shivering, and cried, "Woman, it's really useless." "You finally realized," said the soft-hearted relatives and friends. "Eat grapes don't spit grape skin. Instead of eating grapes, spit grape skins. This grape skin is useless, it will spit out after eating it. Women are like this. " "ridiculous!" Some relatives and friends who have read the book retorted: "Women's words are profound, which can be enjoyed in prosperous times, can eliminate disasters in troubled times, can make the beauty avoid disasters, can scold the beauty for innocence, and have high edible value. Our descendant, our uncle Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, spent a day in Orion's Liu Anfu. He was hungry and had no meat, so he killed his wife and used meat to make up for his uncle's vitality. Isn't it more beneficial to women? "
That night, the aristocrat drowned himself. The king of Chu was naturally rewarded, and the noble family was in high spirits.
Since then, there have been many funerals in the palace, and hanging poles in the pool have jumped off the building. However, many of them died of malnutrition caused by long-term dieting. At that time, the Chu Palace became a beautiful tomb. At first, the king of Chu returned the reward. Later, when I saw more, I left the palace full of yellow flowers and let it wither. In less than a year, the remaining 3,000 beautiful women are less than 30.
Later, the king of Chu fell in love with a thin waist in the imperial court. The ministers looked at the harem from a distance, and the rabbit died in sadness and fear. An old minister tried to stop the king of Chu from breaking the car. Although the ministers in the DPRK criticized it, they were afraid of your majesty and did not dare to say anything.
Every morning, before the minister goes to court, he will kneel on the ground, let the four servants gird his waist with silks, then help him up, stand up straight, only dare to stand up, dare not sit down, and only dare to speak in a low voice. In court, the east wind is coming, and everyone is leaning west. The west wind is coming. Like two rows of rice, the king of Chu smiled and the ministers could only accompany him.
On this day, ministers were in court when suddenly a snake crawled in from outside the palace gate. A snake came in, to be exact. Its body only has its tail on the ground and rushes into the palace with its head held high. The ministers froze for a while, then they shouted for a fight, but the snake opened its mouth. The snake said, "The waist gauge is official. This is what the king said. If you hit me, you will have a hard time with the king. I see who dares! " Say and open five eyes, Bai Sensen fangs also yi out. The ministers looked at each other, but no one moved, so the snake climbed all the way to the king of Chu. "Your Majesty is wise!" The snake said, "I am so excited to hear that the king has a thin waist." Lord, let me sing and dance for your birthday! " "Say, he twisted his body and screamed:" The waist is fine, the waist is fine, it is good to come! "At first, the king of Chu thought the snake was ugly and annoyed. This is flattery, and his heart is greatly refreshed. After watching the snake's performance, the more you watch it, the more pleasing it is. He smiled and said, "It's rare that you are loyal. Come on, what kind of official do you want to be? ""My waist is the thinnest, so I want to stand closest to the king. " With that, the snake stood in front of the Prime Minister. Ministers opened their mouths in surprise. Recently, several ministers who were beheaded were also full of complaints about water, but when they looked up and saw the king happy, they shut up. The ministers who stood at the bottom with thick waists were all eager for an opportunity to vent, and they all laughed, so the snake became the first of all officials without any dispute.
The land of Chu is hot and humid, with lush vegetation and rich snakes. In recent years, the princes have been fighting for hegemony and wars have continued. Hungry people catch snakes to satisfy their hunger. Snakes have a hard time in the country. Suddenly, I heard that similar people have become big officials in North Korea. Every day, they have enough food such as eggs and frogs. How can they not be moved? So, everyone met on a sunny day and came to the palace happily.
On this day, the king of Chu sat on the dragon pier, eating melon seeds, and listening to a minister's moan and memorial. Suddenly, he saw a dark cloud outside the palace gate. When he looked carefully, thousands of snakes, thick and thin, black and white, hissed at him together. "ouch!" He gave a cry and a hand full of melon seeds fell to the ground. Ministers turned to look at each other, sighed and fled to the harem. How can they resist girding, but they just can't hold on? They poured a large piece like harvesting crops, and the snake didn't mind, so it climbed in directly from the ministers. The king of Chu was too scared to move. The first black snake said, "Your Majesty, you miss us too much. We are all here to serve you. " The king of Chu was speechless. The sealed snake replied, "well, your majesty is so happy." We will support each other in the future. " "Of course." Said the snake. The black snake added, "I heard that the harem of the King of Chu fell, so we specially selected a group of beautiful snakes. Please have a look! " After that, dozens of patterned snakes gathered in front of the king of Chu, desperately twisting their waists and grinning and saying, "We are willing to die for the king of Chu!" " The king of Chu still didn't answer. A few beautiful snakes have been flower protectors, so they wrapped them up and got together. One of them said, "Your waist is thin, but your own waist is too thick. Sisters, we should share our worries for King your. " As he spoke, he wrapped it. The king of Chu only felt that his limbs were frozen, his tongue was numb, he could not move or scream, and the snake tossed him around.
