One day, when he hosted a banquet to entertain the Korean Envoys, and was getting drunk, he asked his Minister Xu Guang loudly, "which King can I compare with since ancient times?" Xu Guang thought for a while and said, "your extraordinary intelligence is better than that of emperor Gaozu (Liu Bang) of Han Dynasty, and your outstanding ability is better than that of emperor Taizu (Cao Cao). Since the three kings and five emperors, no one can compare with you. I'm afraid you're not so smart It's the second emperor of Xuanyuan After hearing this, Shiller said with a smile: "how can people not understand themselves? You have gone too far.
