Pinyin: Z ì y ǐ w é ID é J ì. He thinks that his scheme is right and good. Source: Han Yu's epitaph of Liu Zihou in the Tang Dynasty: "it's suitable for animals and barbarians who can't bear to do it, but they think they have a good plan, and they can be less ashamed when they hear the wind of Zi Hou." Example: Wei Yan burned off the plank road and stationed troops in the South Valley to control the pass. He didn't want Yang Yi and Jiang Weixing to lead troops to the South Valley at night. Story: during the period of emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, Wang Shuwen, who tried to innovate politics, was demoted and Liu Zongyuan was demoted. Han Yu, a good friend, wrote Liu Zongyuan's epitaph Liu Zihou. He said that only when people are in distress can they show their integrity and morality. It's really sad that those who hold hands and talk happily on the surface seem to care for each other wholeheartedly, but they think they have a plan behind them.
