Too mean.

I’m glad you died on your own~

If Koyashi had taken it first, wouldn’t it have ended with just a little argument between the two?

The Prime Minister probably never thought it would be resolved this quickly.

>>6

I thought we would break apart after taking a few more steps.

Everyone died on the spot.

>>45

To put it simply, it seems like an act that could be misunderstood as the actions of a worthless bastard.

It would be scary if these guys banded together and attacked.

>>11

If it doesn’t work, then a new country will simply emerge from its destruction.

China’s history has always felt like that.

>>21

Forever!?

Couldn’t we have taken it in a direction where we honestly acknowledged the other person, like saying “that’s certainly true”?

The determination is at the Satsuma level.

Is it that this went too well instead?

If Tago just hangs in there a little longer…

It’s all this guy’s fault.

It’s being brushed off, but isn’t Ogami crazy?

Behavior that makes you suspect a reverse prank.

In terms of maintaining face by categorizing it as suicide, it is somewhat similar to the culture of seppuku.

Is the State of Qi really secure after the unnecessary deaths of three prominent figures?

My achievements are greater than yours!

If you thought that, then why didn’t you just take it quickly?

>>22

No matter how you think about it, I considered that I’m superior, so there’s no need to hurry; I thought these guys wouldn’t take it anyway…

>>22

Wasn’t your reflexes dull?

The type that is not good at sports.

>>49

Even after fighting and defeating the giant turtle!?

Koyashi is always trying not to take the peaches quickly, and he’s risking his life to protect his lord, and if his colleague dies, he would die for the sake of duty; he must have been quite a remarkable individual.

What is that farmer in the bottom left…?

Well, perhaps they weren’t overly arrogant, so they took a hasty decision and felt ashamed, ultimately choosing to take their own life…

Forgive me for laughing! Thank you!

Why do you kill everyone out of fear of forming a group?

Leave at least one person behind.

>>28

It’s the Kongming position with Liu Shan, so I can’t kill you.

Despite being rude and selfish, they adhere to principles of morality, and their way of dying is too much like a Rube Goldberg machine, plus it’s a rather sloppy story…

>>32

To be honest, it is said to be questionable whether it is actually a real episode.

>>40

Of course!

Is Sima Rangju going to appear after this?

Of course, you are properly nurturing successors, right?

It would have been a good bluff if it were an era when one thought there might be a giant turtle.

It’s pitiful because if you look at it in today’s world, it becomes a big lie knowing that they’re not around.

Yan Ying is superior to Guan Zhong.

by Sima Qian

>>39

What would Zhuge Liang from the Guan Zhong faction say?

Don’t commit suicide so easily.

Duke Kei, during a peace banquet, is such a fool that he suggested to the enemy king that if I win the entertainment of putting arrows in a jar, I will rule your country.

Yan Ying was revered alongside Guan Zhong as the prime minister of Qi and is considered one of the top prime ministers in the Spring and Autumn period. Sima Qian in the “Records of the Grand Historian” places the “Guan Yan Biography” (on Guan Zhong and Yan Ying) right after the first “Ba Yi and Shu Qi Biography.” Furthermore, it is stated that he even expressed a desire to be his charioteer, indicating the great respect he had. Additionally, there is the “Spring and Autumn of Yan Zi” as a record of his sayings and actions, which contains various anecdotes.

Confucius also praised “Pingzhong (Yan Ying) as good at interacting with people, saying he respects them after a long time,” but there are many negative evaluations of Yan Ying from Confucius. It is believed that Confucius was influenced by the fact that he was deterred from seeking a government position in Qi by Yan Ying. Similarly, the Confucian Mengzi did not acknowledge Yan Ying either, stating in his evaluation of Guan Zhong and Yan Ying that “governing the world by the hegemonic way is not my goal.”

Duke Jing wanted to give a splendid mansion to Yan Zi! So he recklessly demolished the houses of the nearby residents, which made Yan Zi furious and scold him, “Stop it, you fool!”

Do not cut the fabric too short; if you shorten it, it will become impossible to make it into clothing.

Do not tire the cows and horses; if you tire them, you will not be able to ride them.

Do not put the warrior in distress; if you put them in distress, they will become useless.

A country must not be exhausted; if it is exhausted, the country will not survive.

The giant turtle in the Yellow River is too scary…

Even if the story is passed down in a fantastical manner in historical accounts, it doesn’t immediately mean it’s a lie; there is usually something that served as its basis.

They have even found the ruins of the Trojan War, after all.

Is this the principle of putting face first?

Scary

No one disagrees with the greatness of the achievement of the Turtle Killer; it’s just a bit too interesting.

“When I visited another country as a diplomat, I said, ‘I caught one of your people for stealing, but is a person from your place a thief or what?'”

I was scolded and retorted, “When I was in the Saito area, I wasn’t stealing, so isn’t your governance to blame?”

The ability to insult is incredible.

The idiomatic expression based on the story of Yan Ying.

Beef and horse meat.

Kill two peaches and three warriors.

The visit of Anzi.

Benefactor

Barrel and board negotiation

Negotiation

Those who act will always achieve, and those who go will always arrive.

Begging for a skeleton.

Southern Tachiguri and Northern Kiki

Even a sage will inevitably make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, while a fool may surely gain something in a thousand thoughts.

A beautiful woman, a country at risk.

House mouse

“To forge soldiers suddenly in times of difficulty.”

Rather, why has modern society stopped killing capable individuals?

Before Duke Jing ascended to the throne, the factional struggles among the high-ranking officials were so intense that they ignored the king and engaged in ruthless killings among themselves, which made the rise of the high-ranking officials particularly alarming.

Do Chinese people really commit seppuku in such a dignified way?

>>60

It has been said that (someone) did.

>>60

I don’t think they would commit suicide because they have too much pride to the point of dying.

That said, it would definitely be easier to just pretend I died after killing it myself.

At that time in Qi, there were those who tried to use Lord Jing by surrounding his residence with soldiers due to the conflicts among the high-ranking officials…

I understand that the two peaches will die.

Why are you going to die in the end?

>>63

I am embarrassed!

There is still more to come.

Clothing cannot be new like it was, and people cannot be like they once were.

Those who reflect on their actions do not repeat their mistakes.

The height of Mount Tai is not just a single stone.

Middle stream pillar

“In close pursuit.”

The Soul of Wogao

A gentleman stands alone without feeling ashamed of his shadow, and sleeps alone without feeling ashamed of his soul.

A gentleman may be unaware of himself, but he trusts those who know him.

“Do not seek a fortune for your home, but for your neighbor.”

Incidentally, the descendants of Taka who are committing suicide here will eventually usurp the State of Qi.

I also had a confrontation with Mr. Cui Zhu from the Eastern Zhou Heroic Legends.

I thought it was a waste not to mention even one anecdote about Yan Ying.

Even though you know so much shame, are you still acting so arrogantly…?

How many equal parts should we divide 2 peaches into in order to divide them beautifully among 3 people? (5 points)

I thought I could somehow respond with a clever remark, but it’s difficult.

If you hold back and don’t take it, it would be considered disobeying an order.

I can’t complain about cutting the peach without permission or that there are only two.

Thirty years in a fox fur coat.

Don’t cover the pork shoulder beans.

There are too many idioms related to Yan Ying.

Is it possible for such noble individuals, who choose to die humbly and with dignity, to become so arrogant as to display such outrageous behavior?

An Ying and Duke Jing are like Doraemon and Nobita, and it’s interesting when you look into it.

I will do anything if I can serve this person.

It’s not that they die because of their nobility, but rather they die because living as a laughingstock with shame is harder than death.

>>78

I think it’s noble to be able to have that kind of feeling.

>>80

It’s a bit different to call someone noble when they are prideful and arrogant towards others.

If you like the combination of Liu Shan and Kong Ming, I seriously recommend looking up Yan Ying.

There are probably some people who have lived on gracefully while bearing shame.

>>83

Not leisurely, but Sima Qian endured the shame of being castrated and completed the Records of the Grand Historian before he died.

>>98

They say there were strong-willed men among the eunuchs, but this one is a bit too tough.

>>83

Ousen: “I really want a nice house! If I win, you have to give it to me, okay? Absolutely!”

I didn’t think they would commit suicide together.

Although he is given the honorific title of “beautiful,” is Duke Jing actually quite foolish?

>>86

You’re noisy with Yan Ying’s nagging! Don’t do that!

I don’t think I’m a tyrant because I’m making an effort to improve based on what I’ve been told.

>>86

Duke Huan of Qi was completely reliant on Guan Zhong, and I can sense a connection through bloodline.

By the way, it is said that Duke Jing was so handsome that he was pursued by homosexuals.

>>86

Blessed by the currents of the times and national power, like Liu Shan?

There are many stories from ancient China about committing suicide out of shame.

Isn’t it just a normal assassination, saying it was a suicide with an interesting episode?

You are too caught up in appearances.

>>93

I don’t think it’s as strong as it was back then, but I do believe that the culture of valuing face still remains on the continent.

Executing someone decreases your Kirin points, you know.

It’s nice when they die on their own after being prompted like this.

The sense of urgency in self-harm is too much like young Sensei’s Satsuma.

It seems that this story was often hummed by Kong Ming, as he liked it.

Could it be that the one carrying the hoe in the lower left is Kongming?

Since it’s the birthplace of Confucianism, it’s no surprise that loyalty to one’s country becomes popular.

I was thinking of causing a fallout, but then everyone just died on their own…

Didn’t they realize that inviting three people and only preparing two peaches was meant to create a rift among them?

Yan Ying was an excellent diplomat, he also recommended outstanding individuals, and he even defeated Confucius in a debate.

Who is the founder of the State of Qi?

Yeah, it’s Taikobō.

The dead An Ying drives the living fools.

I thought it was fantasy because of the turtle, but it’s actually historical fact.

>>111

Isn’t it more appropriate to say “legend”?

Confucius suffers excessively, as later commentators resurrect him arbitrarily and unilaterally challenge him in debates.

The anecdote about Yan Ying predicting that the Tian family would eventually take over Qi feels very much like a fabrication.

>>114

Collections of anecdotes and tales from China often depict how people from that time said certain things, which tends to influence later generations.

Shouldn’t the ruler commit suicide for shaming the contributors who supported the country…?

This is no good! It’s faster for the customer to get off and run!

Hastily rushing to hear the news of a loyal subject’s critical condition is an act that ordinary fools could not achieve.

It feels like Sima Rangju, one of the members of the Ten Philosophers of the Wu Shrine, is less known despite being the second oldest after Taigong Wang.

To be frank, I feel that the spirit of chivalry in this era has lost its honor, as people casually start fights or act shamefully.

If you understand that by committing suicide in a shameful situation your honor will be preserved, then immediate seppuku is not such a rare story.

Until the Middle Ages, there were large crocodiles, and it is said that there were turtles nearing 2 meters that were on the verge of extinction, so there might have been large turtles as well.

Who will stop the Prime Minister if they go out of control?

>>125

Someone else will do it.

It is difficult because there are times when the prime minister’s tyranny leads to improvements in the country, even if it cannot be done.
