In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, song Hong, the great commander of the imperial court, was honest and upright, honest and upright, and dared to admonish the emperor. He has recommended and selected more than 30 talented people for the Han Dynasty, some of whom are officials. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had great trust and esteem for him and granted him the title of Xuanping marquis. After Emperor Guangwu's sister princess Huyang became widowed, Liu Xiu intends to marry her to song Hong, but I don't know if she agrees. One day, Emperor Guangwu and Princess Huyang discussed courtiers together. Princess Huyang said, "the Duke of song (referring to song Hong) is more powerful than other officials." After hearing this, Liu Xiu was very happy and summoned song Hong to let the princess watch and listen behind the screen. Liu Xiu said to song Hong, "as the saying goes, it's easy to make friends, but it's easy to get rich. Is it human?" It means: as the saying goes, when you are noble, you forget your friendship. When you are rich, you want to marry another wife. Is this human nature? Hearing this, song Hong knew that this sentence was interesting. He replied, "I can't forget my poor and humble friends, but I can't forget my wife." I've heard that you should not forget your intimate friend who is poor and humble, and you should not abandon your wife who shares weal and woe. After hearing this, Emperor Guangwu turned to Princess Huyang and said, "it's not harmonious."
