Idiom usage

In the biography of Fu Fu in the southern history of China, it is said that "zhaoshu was exiled, the corpse was turned to cover the wild, the goods were bribed, the money was wasted, the gods were angry and the people were resentful, and the people rebelled." He insisted on being the enemy of the people, so that there was no place to die.

Idioms and allusions

In 719 BC, Zhou Xu, the son of the state of Wei, killed his elder brother, Duke Huan of Wei, and became the king himself. This incident caused strong dissatisfaction among Chinese people. In order to transfer the domestic contradictions, Zhou Xu went to attack the state of Zheng on the pretext of revenge for his ancestors. In order to get the support of the state of song, he sent someone to song Shanggong to say that if he united to attack the state of Zheng, he would eliminate the evil of the state of song in the state of Zheng. Moreover, in this war, the state of song acted as the commander in chief, and the state of Wei paid military expenses. If he contacted the state of Chen and the state of CAI again, he would surely succeed. Of course, song Shanggong was willing to do that, so song and Wei united with Chen and CAI to attack Zheng. After encircling Zheng's east gate for five days, they withdrew their troops. The monarch of the state of Lu was very worried about this. He asked his Man Zhou Xu if he could succeed. The people under his command replied that they only heard that the monarch used his kindness to win the love of the people, but not that he won people's hearts by acting recklessly. Zhou Xu, relying on his heavy troops, waged wars everywhere and brought disaster to the people. In this way, the people in the country would rebel against him and the trusted people would stay away from him. If he wanted to succeed in his career, he could not do it. Sure enough, it wasn't long before Zhou Xu was killed by Shi Zao. Later, people use "betrayal" to show that someone has lost popular support and is very isolated.
