"Diao Gong Sirius?! I never imagined that my grandson would have to face this now!"
In the study room of the Liang family, Mr. Liang was wearing a black Tang suit, smiling, and playing with an exquisite snuff bottle in his hand.
"Grandpa, what is the Diao Gong Sirius?" Liang Jiangtao looked confused.
Of course, he knew that Li Changjiang had his intention in recommending him to be the head of the transportation planning group, but it was the first time he heard this word and he was a little confused.
"This is a long-standing dragon-climbing technique in China. It is said to come from the Legalists. It is also mixed with the military theories of the Yin-Yang Family and the Strategist-Hong Kong Family. It was created by the powerful prime minister around Zulong!" Liang Laodao said.
"Dragon Climbing Technique?! Legalist?!"
Liang Jiangtao was suddenly startled.
"Yes, it's Legalism!"
Seeing that his grandson and children were teachable, Mr. Liang showed a satisfied look and spoke eloquently.
It turns out that Legalists have always advocated the combination of law, technique and power, and they are very good at maneuvering.
It was precisely with the help of many ruthless and sophisticated methods that he stood out from the competition among hundreds of schools of thought, guided the Qin State to unify the six countries, and established a unified society in China.
Later, it was the second generation who died!
Many people conclude that because of the harsh punishments and laws of the Qin Dynasty and the lack of virtue, the dynasty eventually died prematurely!
In later generations, the Han Dynasty first respected Huang Lao's theory and recuperated with the people. Later generations adopted Dong Zhongshu's theory of "influence between heaven and man", deposed all schools of thought, and only respected Confucianism. Since then, Confucianism has become orthodox.
However, in ancient Chinese society, the influence of Legalism has never disappeared. It no longer stands in front of the stage, but hides behind it.
Many people say that the ancient unified system was actually Confucianism on the outside and Legalism on the inside.
On the surface, they respect the Confucian principles of monarch and ministers, benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom, but in reality they practice Legalism's centralization of power and severe punishment.
Legalist theory is simply a natural tool of rule. It makes full use of human fear and greed. If used well, it can control everything!
But, it doesn’t look good!
Therefore, we need a beautiful coat, that is Confucianism!
As a result, a situation emerged after the Han Dynasty in which Confucianism was externalized and Confucianism was internalized.
Some hypocrites are sanctimonious and talk about benevolence and morality, but in fact they are male thieves and female prostitutes, with cold faces and cold hearts!
This is what Mr. Lu Xun called "cannibalism" during the New Culture Movement!
In the long course of history, some people who are well versed in this art have further integrated various esoteric cultures and summed up the art of emperors and dragon-climbing in order to have both sides, flatter the superiors and arrogant subordinates, and kill people and kill people.
There are thousands of gates to kill, thirty-six heavens, seventy-two places, right and wrong, wind and fire to eliminate rumors, the wind against the sky, the stallion to cover up the Kun...
There is also the "Luo Zhi Jing". According to legend, it was written by Lai Junchen, a famous ruthless official during the Wu Zetian period. It talks about how to fabricate crimes and frame others. It is praised by many people with ulterior motives.
Until modern times, Li Zongwu also summarized and created "Houheixue".
These are the dark sides of traditional Chinese culture, but they always exist, follow them like a shadow, and cannot be eradicated.
Liang Jiangtao knew about Li Zongwu and Houheixue. This "knowledge" was very influential. Some people even compared it to "The Prince" written by Machiavelli during the Renaissance and considered it to be a book of spiritual awakening and enlightenment for the Chinese people. .
"I have been familiar with Li Zongwu. His teachings are eccentric and are basically fallacies, but his talent is extremely smart and extraordinary. However, he calls himself 'I am the only one in heaven and earth', and he calls himself the 'Houhei Cult Master' , Too evil, charming and arrogant, I won’t accept it!” Mr. Liang sighed.
Mr. Liang spent his whole life traveling around the world, reading the classics and history. Although these were heresies, he knew them well enough to recognize them at a glance.
"Politics and running a country rely on the grand road! Skills are just skills! They are just like mediocre people! I have never disdained it! Not to mention that my grandson has a noble status and is a Tsinghua University student! He should not take such a crooked and evil path. road!"
"That's why I have never mentioned these things to you! But you have a long road ahead, and you will definitely encounter all kinds of difficulties and obstacles. It is inevitable that someone will use you a little bit like today, so it's okay not to know!" Liang Lao said in the eyes. Glowing.
He already knows about Liang Jiangtao's brilliant performance at the National Development and Reform Commission and his courage to take on important responsibilities today.
Although he was happy, he also knew that someone might harbor dissatisfaction with him, so he called him over to teach him.
"Grandpa, what exactly is the Dragon Climbing Technique?" Liang Jiangtao's interest was aroused.
"There are many names, such as taking advantage of the situation to create calamity, water and fire complementing each other, water flooding the golden mountain, three immortals offering cauldrons, dripping water rolling balls, gathering gentry on the embankment, drinking rough and getting drunk, worshiping Buddha across the mountain, squeezing oil from stone, carving Gong Sirius, etc..."
"So complicated?"
Liang Jiangtao was stunned.
He had heard of some of these things and could roughly understand what they meant. Although he knew some of them, he didn't understand what they were. Some of them he had never even heard of.
The only one I am familiar with is the dripping ball. I remember seeing it on the Internet in later generations.
The core is to build momentum, take over, and make something far more valuable than it should be.
For example, diamonds made in the West, and Pu'er tea and Bitcoin that were hyped to sky-high prices in later generations, are all specific applications of this trick!
It’s just that he always thought this was a trick in the economic field, but he didn’t expect it to be useful in politics.
"Haha, there are a lot of twists and turns here. Chinese culture has developed for so many years, and many things that are obviously dregs have finally made some small sense through the efforts of generations."
"For example, squeezing oil from a rock is about trying to figure out the leader's thoughts. If you meet a confused leader, you have to think carefully about everything for him. Even if his point of view is obviously wrong, you have to find a way to help him solve it. , looking for support is like squeezing oil out of a stone. In this case, how can he not like you, how can he not trust you, or even rely on you? But on the other hand, if you are a smart leader, you have to pretend to be stupid and hide your clumsiness. Acting recklessly and trying to squeeze oil from a stone is like asking for fish from a tree, making him mistakenly think that you are an honest person. In this way, he will lower his guard against you and even feel pity, which will naturally be of great benefit to you. "
"For example, if you want to get promoted, you can't count on your direct boss, because he is only one level higher than you. If you are promoted, where will he go? So the correct way is to squeeze him away! At this time, it is You need to establish a close relationship with your boss’s boss, gain trust, and find the right opportunity to apply eye drops!”
"For example, drinking rough wine can also make you drunk. In ancient times, there was a man who had a concubine who was very beautiful. A group of friends wanted to get him drunk and take advantage of the opportunity to be frivolous. But this man had a heavy drinker and could not get drunk no matter what. The friends had no choice but to prepare to leave. . At this time, the man couldn't help but said, you are too pedantic, as long as the money is in place, I will get drunk even if you give me rice cereal!"
