  In the past, anyone with a noble character has been honest and trustworthy.

  Yan shu, a famous writer and politician in the northern song dynasty, was recommended by the local magistrate as a "child prodigy" to the court at the age of 14. He could have won the office without taking the imperial examinations, but he did not do so, but took the exam. It happened that the exam question was something he had done, and he had been given directions by several famous teachers. In this way, he stood out from over a thousand candidates and was praised by the emperor. But yan shu was not so proud of that, instead, he told the emperor the emperor's second interview and asked for another title. The emperor conferred with the ministers on a more difficult subject, which led to yan's composition. As a result, his article was praised by the emperor.

  After taking office, he always went back home to study behind closed doors. When the emperor learned of the situation, he was very pleased, and named him to be the official of the crown prince. When yan shu went to the emperor, the emperor praised him for his ability to read the book behind closed doors. Yan shu said: "I don't want to go to a banquet, just because my family is poor and has no money. I am ashamed of the emperor's praise." The emperor praised him for his real talent, plain and honest, a rare talent, and in a few years he promoted him to be the prime minister.

  The story of the emperor's appreciation and re-use shows that a man's honesty, his appearance, and his lack of deception are important to the trust of others.
