Historically, there have been many such things.
For example, Zhuge Liang, the loyal prince of Wu, is known as Wolong.
Before Liu Bei died, he said to Zhuge Liang: "If Liu Chan can assist him, you should assist him; if he has no talent, you should replace him."
After hearing these words, Zhuge Liang's expression was not to express gratitude, but to cry and prostrate himself to the ground with sweat dripping, smashed his head, and said: "I am willing to devote myself to death until I die."
If we don't know the art of speaking implicitly, we may not be able to hear the deep meaning of Liu Bei's words.
We can think about it. These ancient kings were all ambitious people. They worked hard all their lives and built a foundation. How could they give it up to an outsider?
If Zhuge Liang dares to agree, believe it or not, Liu Bei will die and Zhuge Liang will die of grief?
Zhuge Liang is so smart. He immediately understood the meaning of Liu Bei's words. Such words have the flavor of temptation and perhaps a warning.
Some things may not be appropriate to talk about on the table, so implicit expression is particularly important.
Just imagine, if Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang: "You swear, if you take away my son's throne, you will die a good death!" If you were Zhuge Liang, what would you think? You will definitely be unhappy.
Speaking implicitly is a way of leaving room for improvement, which is conducive to improving the relationship between each other. Only naive people who are inexperienced in the world can directly express distrust towards others, forcing the relationship between the two parties into a dead end and losing any room for maneuver.
Liu Bei did not say it directly, but said it very implicitly. This is a very good statement, and it sounds touching on the surface, but to the ears of smart people, it is like "hearing thunder in a silent place", which is enough to have a wake-up effect.
That's the beauty of being subtle.
"That's it for today's lesson. Just listening to this lesson is of no use.
If you want to learn to speak, the most important thing is to speak out.
While there is still some time before get out of class ends, you all should practice well.
Now don't worry about saying the wrong thing and making everyone unhappy.
Only by speaking out can we know where the problem is and how to change it. Okay, I won’t talk nonsense anymore, you can start having a good chat now, it’s best to use the techniques I just mentioned. "
After that, the teacher walked straight towards Zhu Youjian.
His Majesty once said that only by talking more about knowledge can we distinguish who is right and who is wrong.
However, due to the special nature of Shanhaiguan College, teachers like them rarely have the opportunity to go out for discussions.
Now that there are people outside who have listened to my lectures for so long, they must have some ideas.
"Life is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you miss this opportunity to discuss, who knows when the next opportunity will come?"
"This young master doesn't know, what do you think? How did I say it?" the teacher said.
"The lecture is very good, very good, he quotes the classics, and he speaks very vividly. He is a good teacher." Zhu Youjian replied.
"Humans are not gods, and there are bound to be things that they are not good at. When dealing with small things or researching a small technology, personal ability is very important.
But when dealing with big things or improving a big technology that requires the cooperation of many people, ability accounts for 30%, and ability to speak accounts for 60%.
People who are good at talking, easy to get things done, and empathic with others, everyone definitely hopes that the friend around them will be a person with a sweet mouth.
But for the country, those who dare to tell the truth are also essential. "
