Origin Story
春秋时期，齐国大夫晏婴以其精湛的政治才能和过人的见识，辅佐齐景公治理国家，使齐国国力日益强盛。一次，齐景公问晏婴：“卿以为吾国何如？”晏婴答道：“君上圣明，臣下忠诚，国富民强，天下无敌！”齐景公听了非常高兴，连连称赞。然而，晏婴却话锋一转，又说道：“虽然如此，臣却担心齐国的未来！”齐景公疑惑不解，追问原因。晏婴说道：“君上年事已高，诸公子年幼，将来谁能继承大统，这才是臣下所担忧的。”晏婴分析了当时的形势，料事如神地指出了齐国潜在的危机。齐景公听后，深思熟虑，认真考虑了晏婴的建议，并采取了一系列措施，加强了皇室的管理，确保了齐国的稳定和发展。
During the Spring and Autumn period, Yan Ying, a minister of the Qi state, assisted Duke Jing of Qi in governing the country with his superb political talents and extraordinary insight, making the Qi state increasingly prosperous. Once, Duke Jing asked Yan Ying, "What do you think of our country?" Yan Ying replied, "Your Majesty is wise and virtuous, your ministers are loyal, and the country is rich and powerful, with no enemy in the world!" Duke Jing was very pleased and praised him repeatedly. However, Yan Ying then changed the subject and said, "Despite all this, I am worried about the future of the Qi state!" Duke Jing was puzzled and asked for the reason. Yan Ying explained, "Your Majesty is getting old, and the princes are still young. Who will succeed to the throne in the future, this is what I worry about." Yan Ying analyzed the situation and accurately predicted the potential crisis of the Qi state. After listening, Duke Jing pondered carefully over Yan Ying's suggestions, and took a series of measures to strengthen the royal family's administration, ensuring the stability and development of the Qi state.
