Idioms and allusions

The book of Jin: Wang Long of Gaoyang said: "all those who are warm and detailed are white faced scholars." In the biography of Shen Qing in the book of Song Dynasty: "Your Majesty wants to invade the country now, but he plans with the white faced scholars. What's the reason for this?" In the northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a man named Shen Qingzhi. Shen Qingzhi was very good at fighting since he was a child. He often came back from winning battles. Later, he was named "Jianwu general" and was specially responsible for defending the frontier. One day, the emperor wanted to expand his territory to the north. When Shen Qingzhi knew it, he tried his best to stop the Emperor: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Do you remember the failure of several generals to expand their territory to the north! King... " Shen Qingzhi kept persuading the emperor. The emperor was very annoyed and said to Shen Qingzhi, "I don't want to hear it. I'll call someone else to tell you!" The emperor asked two civil servants to argue with Shen Qingzhi. Shen Qingzhi said to the emperor helplessly, "king, governing a country is like governing a family. If you want to discuss farming, you need to find the workers who go to the fields every day. If you want to ask about weaving, you need to find the maid who weaves. Now the king is going to attack other countries, but he goes to two "white faced scholars" who have never fought before to discuss. How can this war succeed? " The emperor said impatiently, "don't say any more. What I have decided won't be changed any more." The Emperor didn't take Shen Qingzhi's advice. Of course, he came back from a big defeat! Later, we used Shen Qingzhi's "white faced scholar" to describe a young and inexperienced scholar who only knows the knowledge in books but does not know how to deal with things.
