Guan Zhong and Bao have been good friends since childhood. They help each other and treat each other sincerely. When they grow up, they go to Qi State to make a living together. At that time, King Xiang of Qi had two younger brothers, one was Gong Zijiu and the other was Xiao Bai. What a coincidence! Guan Zhong and Bao became their teachers respectively. There was civil strife in Qi, and King Xiang of Qi was killed. Who will be the new monarch? Gong Zijiu and Xiao Bai went on fighting. As a result, Xiao Bai became the monarch, and he was Qi Huangong.
In order to govern the country well, ask Bao's thoughts. Bao Shu Ya said, "You need a smart person to help you." Qi Huangong said, "Is there anyone more capable than you?" Bao Shu Ya said affirmatively: "Yes, it is Guan Zhong." "Guanzhong? ! "When it comes to Guan Zhong, Qi Huangong gnashes her teeth. It turned out that Miyako was the monarch who protected Miyako when she was fighting for the throne with Xiao Bai, the son. Once, Guan Zhong hid in the Woods and shot an arrow at Xiao Bai, the son. Fortunately, she was not injured when she shot at the copper hook of her belt, so she got revenge. Bao said, "Guan Zhong's talent is ten times stronger than mine. Don't forget the old grievances, invite him sincerely, not only can you not govern the country well, but I'm afraid other countries will also obey you! He persuaded Qi Huangong to invite Guan Zhong. Seeing that Qi Huangong had no revenge, Guan Zhong trusted him very much and decided to help Qi Huangong govern the country.
With his support, Guan Zhong carried out some reforms in Qi. A few years later, Qi became rich and powerful. At this time, in order to let Guan Zhong give full play to his talents and wisdom, Bao refused to stay and quietly left Guan Zhong. Everyone admires him. Guan Zhong said, "What really knows me is Bao Shu Ya." . Later, people often praised the friendship between Guan Zhong and Bao with "friendship".
