Bury it. The ministers around the king felt that this was too much and argued for remonstrance, not agreeing to do so. King Zhuang was furious and ordered, "If anyone dares to rebut the matter of burying a horse again, he shall be put to death immediately!"
[1]
When you Meng heard this, he walked into the palace gate and cried, a snot and a tear. The king of Zhuang was surprised and asked him why he was crying so much. You Meng answered with tears, "The BMW is the king's beloved thing, and it deserves a generous burial." Tang Chu, vast land and abundant resources, rich country and strong people, what requirements can not be? But the king only buried it with the doctor's specifications, too poor to treat it. I suggest a royal burial."

King Zhuang asked, "What should I do then?"

You Meng replied, "Use carved jade for the coffin, the best.

Prime minister of Chu
Sun Shuao
I know you Meng is a wise man and value him very much. When Sun Shuao was seriously ill and about to die, he charged his son: "After my death, you will have nothing to rely on, and you may be poor. In that case, you can visit you Meng. As long as you say that you are Sun Shu 'ao's son, he will help you."
[8]
After a few years, Sun Shu 'ao's son was really poor and had to live by carrying firewood for others. One day he met You Meng and said to him, "I am the son of Sun Shu 'ao." When my father was dying, he asked me to visit you when I was poor."
[9]
You Meng looked him over and said, "Don't go far away, wait for my news." Immediately, you Meng went home and ordered people to sew clothes and hats similar to Sun Shu Ao, and put them on to imitate Sun Shu Ao's speech and behavior. More than a year later, you Meng is just like
Sun Shuao
, even
King of Chu
Not even the ministers around him. The king of Zhuang held a banquet, you Meng dressed some, came forward to toast the birthday. The king of Zhuang was surprised, thinking that Sun Shu Ao had been resurrected, and wanted to appoint him prime minister. You Meng said, "Please allow me to go back with my wife
Discuss and discuss
I will come back three days later to take office as Prime minister."
[10]
Three days later, Youmeng came. The king asked, "What did your wife say?"
[11]
You Meng replied, "My wife disagreed, saying that it was not worth being the Prime minister of Chu. As a prime minister, Sun Shu Ao was loyal and honest, so the king of Chu was able to dominate. And now he's dead, and his son has no place to live, no money to live on. It is better to commit suicide than to do what Son did." Then she sings, "Living in the fields and suffering, it is difficult to get food and clothing." Those who go out to serve as officials and are vile in their own venality accumulate wealth in spite of shame. After his death, although his family is rich, I am afraid that he will take bribes and bend the law, commit a great crime, and he will be put to death and his family will be exterminated. How can a corrupt official do that? I want to be an honest official, law-abiding, loyal to my duties, and dare not do bad things until I die. How can a pure official do it! Prime Minister of Chu
Sun Shuao
Adhere to the integrity of the death, now the wife and son poor to sell firewood to earn a living, honest officials are not worth it!" King Zhuang felt ashamed, apologized to you Meng, and immediately summoned Sun Shu 'ao's son to
Knoll
Four hundred households were sealed to him for the sacrifice of Sun Shu 'ao, which was passed down for ten generations without interruption.
