When they were young, politicians dressed themselves up as gentle and polite corporal. Money is not a problem. Gold, silver and jewelry supply you, wine, meat and fat are waiting for you. There is a party for three days and one night for four days, and a thousand "guests" are not enough to eat.
What makes you a great sage is that you strive for financial resources, and there is nothing yellow and white at the bottom. Why do people come to work for you? Rich material treatment is a coveted bait. Those who think they have both ability and political integrity but are helpless can swagger into Zhumen, eat and drink for free, and talk loudly. There is no need to create conditions for leaders to write poems like Liu Yazi: "Sit in the right place, talk about classics, and have no complaints about Fengxiang." How boring! People don't give it, people want it; I'm embarrassed to say it, but I also carried the ancients out to complain. Holding a fist makes people guess that a narrow-minded scholar can only maintain his dignity.
Of course, what Liu Yazi wants is not "Feng's car"; But he has seen too much about a position in the new regime. Unfortunately, the embarrassment that he can't get on or off just shows that business can't be done and it's useless to waste saliva. Whether he stays in Kunming Lake or returns to Fuchun River is the same: "fish" can only be seen, but not eaten. Men and women in the Spring and Autumn Period did not demand so much power, but paid more attention to material treatment. Moreover, the host will not embarrass the public in these aspects, so as not to spread it out, block the road of virtue and ruin his reputation.
On fame, I have to say that there were four sons in the Spring and Autumn Period. Saying that he is a "son" is actually a politician. What they care about is not only eating, drinking and having fun, but also "cultivating scholars" rather than "newspapers all over the world", which is a long-term undertaking. Although the investment is huge, the return is really rich. Ordinary people can't think of it and can't afford it. "Four sons" raised public guests on a large scale, and there are many records in Historical Records:
Sima Qian hit the nail on the head and revealed the true intention of the "four sons" Where is a free lunch in the world? Four childe is not rich to the countryside, and even like Meng Changjun, "the city is not enough to entertain guests" tension. Is it just to win a few cheap praises to raise the public? Obviously not. They can't get rid of the whirlpool of power. They fight for gambling, or for "holding power", or even for usurping the country.
In order to achieve his political goals, Chun did not hesitate to put his new favorite and pregnant concubine Li on the bed of the King of Chu. In order to mobilize the army, Xinlingjun had to go through the back door to find Wang Wei's little wife, such as Ji ... This unscrupulous adventure is a high-return investment. It is often said in history books that "a son is biased towards neighboring countries and does not dare to add soldiers." Why do you ask? The role of sex is what those sons dream of. They want to be political predators who dominate wars and monopolize privileges.
Zhu Ying, a disciple of Chun Shen Jun, said more clearly: "You have been in Chu for more than twenty years. Although it is named after the country, it is actually the king of Chu. " This is enough to make the wise monarch uneasy: national security depends on the faces of several sons, so simply dissolve the court and let the sons and their guests take their place. In fact, from the day when these sons were well-intentioned and snared by the public, it was equivalent to telling the world their political intentions. The stronger the strength of sons, the faster and deeper their personal tragic fate will come. When disaster comes, no amount of cunning can save it. That kind of trick, at best, is a "Monday morning quarterback" who is afraid of death.
Keeping and raising public servants is called recruiting talents, but it can't be counted as "government behavior", but it belongs to personal self-interest, which is in the same strain as the struggle of cronies in later generations. Confucius advocated "regardless of the comparison of others", but politics did not follow the conventional moral standards. This kind of thing is the dark feature of the secret room trick. If it is really "unfair", who do you rely on and who do you use? Although the "trainers" are barely half official and half private, the hired class still has the obvious nature of "underworld"-a "temporary brain trust" and a "private death squad" with material treatment as the premise, employers' interests as the purpose and personality worship as the constraint. This uneven "miscellaneous army" belongs to "half of the rivers and lakes" and has some gloomy forces. More often, this gloomy force is for "fighting in the nest." Cultivate scholars and be more vigilant in peacetime than in wartime.
Indeed, political corporal Li Xian is a bit of a show; How to achieve "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith" in a king's childhood can never exclude the nature of performance. "Sui Shu" recorded that when he was a vassal, he was "pretentious, and in order to get rid of his reputation, Yin had a plan to seize the clan" until he fooled everyone. "ministers who use things fall in love and make friends" and "servants who come and go are all called benevolence and filial piety" ... As a result, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, isn't he one of the greatest tyrants in history?
Of course, adversity is not easy; Compared with wealth, it is a thousand times more difficult. Enemy at the Gates and Ma Fangnan Mountain, the monarch can never be the same expression. Zhou Wenwang's trip to Jiang Shang, or Liu Bei's surrender, is not just a selfish thing? Meng Changjun "into the city is not enough to entertain guests", why should he bite his teeth and become a "pot-bellied man"? Does he deserve to support those screaming customers like a filial father? The genius of a politician lies in mastering the temperature, knowing what he likes, knowing what he is good at, knowing when he will be grateful and willing to work for him.
Hou Ying, a hermit who is the producer of "Daliang Yimen", is a 70-year-old man. He has a big question mark about Xin's "Benevolence and Body". His attitude coldly tested each other's patience, got into the car driven by the son, and attended a banquet full of guests. After a long period of observation, the new Ling Jun is always "harmonious in color" and "unchanged in color". Finally, Hou Ying believed her old eyes.
"Cultivating Scholars" seems to be Zhou Yu playing Huang Gai, but there are actually many people who play Taiping Boxing. As the saying goes, "wine and meat are all brothers. Have you ever seen anyone in trouble? " It's so cruel to follow the wind and climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. There are reports in this world, no credit. The phrase "meanness is the passport to meanness" never fails.
The biographies of Historical Records show that Lian Po and Lin Xiangru are even more naked. When Lian Po was unlucky, the public flocked to him in the blink of an eye. Later, the western hills of Lian Po rose again, and these guys came to defect again. The host rudely coaxed them out, and the guests at the door licked their tongues and said, "Why didn't you see them earlier?" My husband's world is built on the market. You have the power, but I will follow you. If you don't have the power, you leave. Any complaints? "Yes, this is the premise that" subject and object "cannot be ignored. If you have no right or money, can't the public accompany you to die?
Then, the Fourth Childe claimed to be more than 3,000 public servants. Childe knows better than anyone. These people are the cars, horses and guns on their chessboard. They can take the lead or fall apart in an instant. The rise and fall of Meng Changjun provided ample performance space for the influential villains:
Since the King of Qi destroyed Meng Changjun and abolished it, all the guests left ... Meng Changjun sighed and said, "When the guests saw that the article (Meng Changjun) was abolished for one day, they all went back to read it. If they don't care about this article ... how can guests see it? " If you see the words again, you will vomit and be greatly humiliated. "
Speaking of which, Meng Changjun went back happily. The doorman maliciously knocked down a telephone pole and saved his life skillfully. This kind of welfare is definitely not something you can buy at the last minute. Sima Qian has created many idioms, among which "cock crow and dog thief" is one. This allusion helped Meng Changjun a lot in Success or Death. Wang Anshi said, "Meng Changjun is the best among the crows and thieves." "The Story of a Ranger in Han Dynasty" also named the cynicism of Four Childes in the Spring and Autumn Period: "(Four Childes) all used princes to compete for rangers. The crow and the dog thief are all-encompassing. " No wonder people look down on him. Childe's disciples did take furtive actions. Records in Historical Records are close to farce:
Zhao Haoqi of Qin imprisoned Meng Changjun and tried to kill him. Meng Changjun asked someone to contact Wang Zhao Jixing to solve the problem. Ji Xing said, "I want your fox and white hair." At this time, Meng Changjun has a fox and white fur, and a straight girl, while Qin Xianwang in a Chinese Odyssey has no fur. Meng Changjun suffered greatly. He kept asking the guests, but he can't be right. There sat a man who might be a dog thief and said, "I can get foxes and white hairs." In the evening, I was a dog, so I went to Qin Gongzang and gave the white fox hair as a gift to the king of Qin and her lucky girl. Fortunately, Ji spoke for him and let him go. Meng Changjun came to the conclusion that he would leave, seal his biography, and change his name and surname to go through customs. From midnight to Hangu Pass. Zhao Haoqi of Qin regretted leaving Meng Changjun and asked to leave, although people have been talking about it. Meng Changjun is the key, the chicken calls out the guest, and Meng Changjun is afraid of not catching up. The guest sitting next to you can crow for the chicken, and when the chicken crows together, it comes out.
Both times, the "dirty" doorman came to help. It seems that the guests have no priority, and each has his own specialization. Insect carving skills also have the effect of turning decay into magic. There are many registered "public guests" in history, such as Feng Gui under his command, Hou Ying under Xin Lingjun, Sui under his command, Chun Shenjun under his command, etc ... If you think about it carefully, there is no essential difference between them and thieves. In the Taiping period, this group of "dead people" with complex components were very picky, regardless of their skills.
