allusion
In the late Spring and Autumn Period, when the queen mother of Zhao State was just in power, she was invaded by Qin State and had to ask Qi State for help.However, the Qi State demanded that the youngest son of the Empress Dowager Zhao, Chang'an Jun, be taken as a hostage to live in the Qi State before they were willing to send troops for help.However, Empress Dowager Zhao loved Chang'an Jun very much and was unwilling to let him go to Qi State, so she did not agree to the conditions proposed by Qi State.The ministers put the overall situation first and persuaded Queen Mother Zhao to agree, but they were all firmly rejected by Queen Mother Zhao.She also threatened: "If anyone mentions to me about taking Chang'an as a hostage again, I will definitely spit on him." Zuo Shi (official name) Chulong decided to persuade Queen Mother Zhao, because he suffered from foot disease, Walking is inconvenient, but in order not to break the etiquette, he only pretends to be walking quickly, but moves forward slowly.When he saw Queen Mother Zhao, he first apologized and said: "I can't walk fast because of my foot disease, so I haven't seen you for a long time." Later, after repeated persuasion by Chulong, Queen Mother Zhao was finally persuaded.Empress Dowager Zhao had to let people listen to his persuasion precisely because she was polite to Chu Long.
