1 邹忌修八... :
邹忌修八尺有馀,身体昳丽。朝服衣冠窥镜,谓其妻曰:“我孰与城北徐公美?”其妻曰:“君美甚,徐公何能及公也!”城北徐公,齐国之美丽者也。忌不自信,而复问其妾曰:“吾孰与徐公美?”妾曰:“徐公何能及君也!”旦日客从外来,与坐谈,问之客曰:“吾与徐公孰美?”客曰:“徐公不若君之美也!”明日,徐公来。孰视之,自以为不如;窥镜而自视,又弗如远甚。暮,寝而思之曰:“吾妻之美我者,私我也;妾之美我者,畏我也;客之美我者,欲有求于我也。”于是入朝见威王曰:“臣诚知不如徐公美,臣之妻私臣,臣之妾畏臣,臣之客欲有求于臣,皆以美于徐公。今齐地方千里,百二十城,宫妇左右,莫不私王;朝廷之臣,莫不畏王;四境之内,莫不有求于王。由此观之,王之蔽甚矣!”王曰:“善。”乃下令:“群臣吏民,能面刺寡人之过者,受上赏;上书谏寡人者,受中赏;能谤议于市朝,闻寡人之耳者,受下赏。”令初下,群臣进谏,门庭若市。数月之后,时时而间进。期年之后,虽欲言,无可进者。燕、赵、韩、魏闻之,皆朝于齐。此所谓战胜于朝廷。
