China has a long history of 5,000 years, and its culture is profound and colorful. It has nurtured philosophers such as Laozi, Confucius, Mencius and Guiguzi, war gods such as Sun Wu, Bai Qi and Han Xin, and effective counselors such as Sean, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen. Among them, one kind of "political skill" has always been loved by emperors of all ages, that is, "the skill of controlling people", and so is the so-called "the skill of emperors is the skill of controlling people"! In fact, not only the emperor is good at controlling people, but also many people with superior intelligence are quite good at "controlling people"! Let's compare the manipulation skills of Guiguzi, Zhuge Liang and Zeng Guofan to see who is better, and finally decide who to learn from! ★ 1. Wisdom can be used for things people can't know, but it can also be used for things people can't know. Being invisible is better than not arguing. -Guiguzi Interpretation of Guiguzi: A truly resourceful person is good at using his ingenuity, but ordinary people can't notice it, and finally he can do what ordinary people can't do. This hidden strategy can make a good layout without everyone knowing, and win without fighting. Guiguzi, the ancestor of the military strategist, absorbed the essence of Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism-"doing nothing without arguing", but Guiguzi was good at tactics, and Laozi had no intention of nostalgia for secular disputes. Therefore, Guiguzi's skill in controlling people is often subtle, with a taste of intrigue. Mr. Guiguzi ponders human nature and then manipulates people's hearts. Although it can make a one-time profit, it will eventually be retaliated and spurned after being discovered. For example, Su Qin, Guiguzi's most proud disciple, once joined the six countries to form a vertical alliance; After the dissolution of the alliance, Su Qin became a guest of Qi, was assassinated by doctors of Qi, and was seriously injured. Su Qin made a "conspiracy" against the King of Qi: in the name of "helping the Yan State to engage in anti-espionage activities in Qi State", he asked the King of Qi to separate cars in the city and offered a reward for catching his assassin. The King of Qi dismembered Su Qin according to his meaning, and finally the assassin really appeared, so the King of Qi caught and killed the assassin to avenge Su Qin. But it wasn't long before a large amount of evidence of Su Qin's extermination of Yan Qi was leaked. The King of Qi suddenly realized that he was very angry and regretted being manipulated by Su Qin and led by Su Qin, but it was too late. After the stills of Su Qin and Su Qin, the reputation of strategists is getting worse and worse, because everyone knows that they are fickle, capricious and have ulterior motives. Therefore, emperors also began to beware of strategists. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Guiguzi was despised by everyone, and the intelligence of strategists was hard to be used again. Although the past dynasties have echoed, it is difficult to make great progress. Therefore, although Guiguzi's "control skills" are powerful, his reputation is not very good, just like everyone yelling at the rats crossing the street; At the same time, because rats can't be killed, Guiguzi's plot of "controlling people" is still imitated and used by future generations for personal gain! ★2, playing hard to get-Zhuge Liang Zhuge Liang's first guiguzi apprentice commented: "Su Yu and Zhang Yu are too arrogant to make an alliance oath." It can be seen that Zhuge Liang did not recognize the conspiracy "controlling people" used by Guiguzi and his disciples, so Zhuge Liang adopted the opposite "controlling people"-playing hard to get! Although Zhuge Liang did not specify this move, it can be seen from his "Seven Capture Meng Huo". The purpose of Zhuge Liang's "seven captures of Meng Huo" is to break through the other side's psychological defense line, and then convince the other side, just as Ma Su suggested to Zhuge Liang: "Attack the heart first, attack the city for the next; Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom! " ★3. Light wealth is enough to gather people, self-discipline is enough to convince people, breadth is enough to win people, and leadership is enough to lead people —— Interpretation of Zeng Guofan's letter to Zeng Guofan: Ignoring money is enough to gather people around; Strictly restrain your behavior, which is convincing enough; Generosity to others is enough to win others' sincerity; You have to do things first, enough to command others. If Zhuge Liang's "playing hard to get" manipulator belongs to the public plan, then Zeng Guofan's "manipulator" is the public plan in the public plan-Germany! As Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, said, "goodness is like water, and water is the goodness of all things." The husband is indisputable, so the world can't compete with him. Zeng Guofan's technique of controlling people is the perfect combination of Laozi's thought of "doing nothing and doing everything" and the noble character of saints, forming his unique technique of controlling people! Comparing the manipulation skills of Guiguzi, Zhuge Liang and Zeng Guofan, Guiguzi belongs to intrigue, Zhuge Liang belongs to strategy and Zeng Guofan belongs to virtue. In Mr. Tan's view, Zeng Guofan's grasp of people is better, more able to stand the test and more brilliant. Zeng Guofan firmly believes that "only the sincerity of the world can overcome the hypocrisy of the world; Only the clumsiness in the world can defeat the cleverness in the world. Therefore, while cultivating his moral character, he achieved the goal of "controlling people" without selfishness. It's really brilliant and worth learning from!
