21世纪野史：楚庄王与乐师优孟智谏，宫廷之争与人生哲学
在古代的中国，皇权至高无上，楚庄王以其深沉的智慧和宽广的胸怀统治着楚国。然而，在他的朝堂上，有一位名叫优孟的乐师，他不仅擅长弹奏琴瑟，还能言善辩，更有着非凡的人格魅力。
一次，楚庄王为了一匹死去的马而悲痛欲绝。他决定给这匹马隆重葬礼，就像对待大臣一样。但是，大臣们都不同意这种做法，他们认为这样做会使人误解君主太过于宠爱物质而忽视了人的价值。就在这个紧要关头，一位忠诚的大臣孙叔敖病逝，他临终前嘱咐儿子若贫困时务必寻找优孟求助。
几年后，当孙叔敖之子陷入贫困时，他终于找到并向优孟说明了自己的身份和父亲临终前的遗愿。虽然被打击，但优孟依然保持着他那坚定的信念。他告诉孙叔敖之子：“我将慢慢想办法帮助你。”
一年多后，优孟经过不断模仿孙叔敖的一举一动，即使穿戴成孙叔敖，也难以区分真假。这次他化妆成孙叔敶来到了宫中祝寿，使得楚庄王以为老令尹复活了，对此感到非常高兴，并打算重新任命他为令尹。但是，优孟却说需要回家商量三天后再答复，这让楚庄王不得不同意。

In ancient China, during the reign of Chu State's King Zhuang (Chu Zhuang Wang), there lived a talented musician named Ouyang Meng (Ouyang Meng). Not only was he skilled at playing musical instruments but also known for his eloquence and wit. He often expressed his opinions indirectly through poetry or songs, which always impressed King Zhuang.
One day, King Zhuang decided to hold grand funeral rites for his beloved horse that had passed away. However, this decision sparked controversy among his advisors who believed it was inappropriate to treat an animal as if it were an important official. Amidst this debate, Ouyang Meng intervened by suggesting that instead of burying the horse like an official, they should follow "six domestic animals' burial rites" which involved cooking and consuming its meat.
King Zhuang took notice of Ouyang Meng's suggestion but hesitated due to potential consequences from other officials who might view him as being overly fond of material possessions rather than valuing human life. It wasn't until after Sun Shengji (Sun Shengji), one-time Prime Minister under King Zhuangs rule died leaving behind no property or inheritance for his son that he realized how unfair it would be if he were treated differently because he served as Prime Minister.
