"Another example is the Three Immortals Offering the Cauldron. This game and the Diao Gong Tianlang are yin and yang. You have to listen carefully. It is said that this story comes from the Journey to the West story. It was summarized by people in the Qing Dynasty. It says that there are three important treasures in the immortal world. One was Taishang Laojun’s Nine-turn Golden elixir, one was the Queen Mother of the West’s flat peach, and the other was the Zhenyuan Immortal’s ginseng fruit. The Jade Emperor wanted all these things, but he couldn’t ask for them directly. What should he do? So he released a monkey and made a big fuss. Heavenly Palace, after smashing all these things, he will come out to suppress the monkeys, resolve conflicts, and vent their anger on several great immortals! At this time, it is logical to want these things again? This is both a transfer of contradictions and A kind of destruction and then erection!”
"This trick has actually been used by many monarchs in history. For example, during the Qin Dynasty's reform, the King of Qin used Shang Yang to implement the reform, which hurt the interests of many old nobles. The old nobles rose up to resist. Faced with fierce conflicts, the King of Qin naturally sacrificed Shang Yang. The chariot broke apart when it came out, which calmed the anger of the old nobles and eliminated the reason for the old nobles to continue to resist! Just imagine, if there was no Shang Yang at this time, King Qin would directly face the anger of the old nobles, which would be dangerous. Therefore, Shang Yang is A target, a chess piece, and a buffer. Although Shang Yang died, his reforms continued to be implemented. After a while, the strength of the old aristocracy gradually became smaller, and they no longer had the strength to resist. The overall situation was established, Qin became stronger, and King Qin The goal was successfully achieved!" Mr. Liang taught earnestly.
"There is also the reduction of vassal status in the Han Dynasty!" Liang Jiangtao said loudly with his eyes lit up.
He is very talented, active in thinking, and can draw inferences from one instance to another in an instant.
"That's right, tell me about it!" Mr. Liang said happily.
"Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty cut down the vassals, and the seven kingdoms rebelled in the name of 'killing Chao Cuo and clearing the emperor's side.' So Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty killed Chao Cuo, eliminated the pretext of the seven kingdoms, and finally successfully suppressed the rebellion! During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he implemented it at the suggestion of his father Yan Pushing the favor order was a killing move that fundamentally cut down the vassal. At this time, the princes went against the grain and resorted to cruel tricks to deceive the people of the world and win sympathy, and then prepared to rebel! At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed his master Yan , shattered the plans of the princes! This truly realized the reduction of vassalage, and also created the national destiny of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, the highest among the three generations below! It turns out that this is the tripod presented by the three immortals!"
"That's right, eldest grandson, you can teach me! This move can be called the pinnacle of conspiracy! The intention is to retreat in order to advance, Li Dai Tao is dead!" Liang Laodao said.
It is a great pleasure for grandfather and grandson to talk about the past and discuss the present, using the past as a metaphor for the present.
"But grandpa, from the perspective of a superior, this move is indeed harmful, but how should I deal with it from the perspective of a inferior? In other words, what should I do if someone does this to me?" Liang Jiangtao frowned. road.
He has already felt the power of this move, and it is so righteous that it is difficult to escape!
Once you get stuck in it, how do you get out?
For example, Shang Yang was obviously doing good things, but he was killed by a car. It was so unreasonable!
"Very good! Dasun! You asked a good question! My hard work was not in vain!" Mr. Liang's voice became even more excited.
"There are actually two inferiors here, one is the Three Immortals and the other is the Monkey! If you are the Three Immortals, or a noble of the Qin State, or a prince of the Han Dynasty, facing the superior's layout of retreat in order to advance, this At times, it is easy for ordinary people to make wrong moves. They often feel that they are victims and have sympathy from the outside world, so that they can compete with those in power. In the end, they lose precious opportunities and lose a lot of money! You need to know that if you want to break the situation, The key is to go with the flow!”
"Follow the trend?!"
"Yes, this needs to be divided into two. You must first judge whether what the superior does is beneficial to the overall situation and whether it is in line with the weather? If so, decisively offer your cauldron!"
"Ah? Give it to me!"
"This is the wisest choice and the one with the least loss! You need to know that the reason why a superior is a superior must be condescending! He makes plans and then acts, in order to plot your 'cauldron', you can't hide at all! Look, Is it possible for the person in charge of the jade in those stories just now to succeed? In addition, what he does is in line with the weather, so he should be supported even more! Go with the trend and offer the cauldron proactively! Let the superiors feel guilty and gain and lose. Maybe it will offset it, and you won't know if you will get more!" Liang Laodao said.
"I understand! What if it's another situation?"
Liang Jiangtao's eyes lit up!
If you can't beat him, join him.
This is more fully reflected in the shopping malls of later generations. In the face of acquisitions by large companies, if it is a promising company like Penguin or Forty Thieves, simply let it acquire it. A rising tide will lift all boats, and you may make more money.
"If the higher-ups want your 'cauldron' just to satisfy their selfish desires, or if they do things that are against the laws of heaven, then don't hesitate to change the court!" Mr. Liang continued.
This matter is also easy to understand. For example, the king of Jie and Zhou will die sooner or later, and he still makes up his own mind. Why not take advantage of the chips in hand and join the Ming Dynasty?
However, there are obviously limitations here.
For example, if the person in power is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, how to change the family? You can't vote for the Huns, right?
As soon as Grandpa said this, his thinking completely opened up and became extremely clear.
"What if it's a monkey?" Liang Jiangtao continued to ask.
It's okay for the three immortals. After all, all they have to do is donate the tripod. If it doesn't work, they will run away.
But the monkey was suppressed, Chao Cuo was killed, Shang Yang's chariot was broken, and the father of the Yanyi tribe!
It’s not a good ending to end up like this!
Mr. Liang nodded. From Liang Jiangtao's question, he knew that this eldest grandson was extremely talented and understood the tricks inside.
"If a person brings a child to visit another home, and the host also has a child, and the two children start fighting, what should the host do? Should he spank other people's children, or his own?" Mr. Liang did not answer directly. But ask.
"Of course I'm beating my own child!" Liang Jiangtao blurted out.
"By the way, spanking one's own children is not only a form of protection, but also a form of 'advance'. This way it makes the guests feel uncomfortable! In the end, the host's family makes money, but his children are beaten."
"Yes, grandpa, the child who was beaten is a monkey, Shang Yang, or Lord Fuyan. But what should we do?" Liang Jiangtao was puzzled and couldn't think of a good way.
"There is only one way, don't be that unlucky kid!" Liang Lao said.
Liang Jiangtao opened his eyes wide.
A sudden enlightenment!
Yes, the only way is not to be them!
Don't get involved!
Once you enter the game, you will be passive, and you will probably face a dilemma, or even three dilemmas, and you will not be able to start from the beginning to the end at all!
"In the officialdom, it is very important to assess the situation! Otherwise, you will be a headless fly. Even if you can gain power for a while, the end will be very tragic! So you can become the Three Immortals, but you cannot become a monkey! Once you become someone else's knife, someone else's gun , it is easy to enter a dead end! Don't you hear that the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked?! Grandpa will give you another sentence: 'If you can attack the heart, it will turn around and disappear. Since ancient times, we have known that soldiers are not warlike. Future generations should think twice before they govern Shu, so please understand it carefully!"
Liang Jiangtao nodded seriously and kept it in mind.
To assess the situation is to grasp the laws behind things!
