Idioms and allusions

In the 25th year of AI Gong in Zuo Zhuan, in June, Gong arrived in Yue. Ji Kangzi and Meng wubo rebelled against Wu Wu. Guo Chongfu, seeing his second son, said, "there are so many evil words. Please do it." The banquet was held in Wuwu. Wu Bo, as a blessing, hated Guo Zhong and said, "he feiye.". Ji Sun said, "please drink *! In the case of the Lu Kingdom, the officials were not allowed to follow the emperor, and they were not allowed to do great deeds. They were also called heavy and fat. " The duke said, "if you break your promise, can you be fat?" If you don't enjoy drinking, the public and the doctor will have evil. In June, AI Gong came back from the state of Yue, and his doctors Ji Kangzi and Meng wubo met him in Wuwu. At that time, Guo Zhong was driving for AI Gong. When he saw them, he said to AI Gong, "they said a lot of bad things about you. You must question them face to face!" When Duke AI of Lu invited the doctor at Wuwu's banquet and Meng wubo toasted, he said, "Why are you so fat?" Ji Kang said, "please give * (to drink) to drink. Meng Wu Po, Ji surname, name of the world, called Zhong sun * *, because my country is next to enemy country, so I can not follow the king and avoid traveling. (Guo Guozhong worked hard outside the country to follow the king, but Zhong sun * said) "Guo is fat." Lu AI Gong [felt disgusted, so he answered instead of Guo Zhong] and said, "if you break your word more, you can't be fat!" (MEng wubo) drinks unhappily. [Lu AI Gong's words are obviously ironic in the reverse. Meng wubo is used to saying things that don't mean what he says, and he will feel very embarrassed in front of the officials at the banquet, because of the king's words. 】Lu AI Gong and Meng Wu Bo became enemies from then on. The idiom "eat your words and fatten up" comes from this. It means that you don't keep your word, you don't keep your promise, you just want to be cheap. If you insist on fulfilling your promise and keep your word, you will never break it.
