A man with both ability and political integrity is a saint.
Will you have such a problem?
You are kind, but because of your kindness, you are always bullied and always suffer.
Sometimes, you will "envy" those who are scheming and always feel that they can do everything well. But we all know that these people can only be proud for a while, and it is difficult to be proud for a lifetime.
So what should we do to live a good life?
In fact, 500 years ago, Wang Yangming used his wonderful life to solve the problem for us-being honest and doing things strangely.
It's amazing to be upright. It will be a great event.
"The Art of War" has a cloud: "Combine with pairs and win with surprises."
When Wang Yangming was the governor of Jiangxi Province, he found that Wang Ning was planning a rebellion in the local area.
One day, King Ning invited Wang Yangming to dinner to test his position.
At the banquet, after everyone exchanged pleasantries, Wang Ning suddenly said sadly, "The emperor always likes to go out for inspection, regardless of state affairs. What can the country do if this continues? "
Wang Yangming was shocked. Wang Ning's words are a showdown.
Sure enough, Wang Ning counselor Li Shishi began to add fuel to the fire: "Nobody wants to rebel?"
Because of exaggeration, Wang Yangming immediately stood up and said firmly: "If someone wants to rebel, the country will have loyal ministers!"
The words of hitting the floor were awe-inspiring, which made Wang Ning not know how to respond at the moment.
Soon, Wang Ning rebelled, and the first person he wanted to catch was Wang Yangming.
But Wang Yangming is not stupid. He expected this day and ran away early.
He knows that saving the country and people from the quagmire requires not only loyalty, but also a surprise strategy.
On the way to escape, he deliberately let everyone see that he left the land, and then quietly took a boat and cheated Wang Ning away.
After fleeing to Ji 'an, Wang Yangming began to accumulate strength to rebel for Guo Ping. At this point, Wang Ning has been completely assembled, just give the order to go to war.
In order to stall Wang Ning, Wang Yangming posted a notice in Wang Ning's compound and spread false news, saying that he led the troops160,000, all of whom were brave men in SHEN WOO. Wang Ning was frightened, and the original military deployment was also disrupted.
Ning Wang is hesitating whether to send troops to attack Nanjing or station troops in Jiangxi. He saw a secret letter written by Wang Yangming to his counselor Li Shishi, which read:
"Advise King Ning to attack Nanjing."
Of course, this letter is false, forged by Wang Yangming, who wants Wang Ning to stay in Jiangxi.
Ning Wang believed it after reading it and decided to stay where he was and stay in Jiangxi.
Wang Ning repeatedly fell into the trap, giving Wang Yangming plenty of time to gather troops. In the end, Wang Yangming devoted himself to the country and soon put down the rebellion.
Be honest, but be strange. Your moral character determines what you will do, and success depends on how you do things.
To be a good person, you will choose to do things that benefit others and yourself. But you can't use all your enthusiasm to achieve your goal. You need to learn to improvise and master skills and methods.
Surprisingly honest, impeccable
Emerson said, "Your kindness must be sharp."
Wang Yangming is a good man, but he is not easy to mess with.
Wang Yangming made great contributions to pacify the rebellion in Wang Ning, but the so-called tree catches the wind, and soon, the insidious Jiang Bin took him as the target of attack.
Jiang Bin is the head of the Royal Guards and Dongchang Secret Service, and occupies a high position. He was also a celebrity in front of Emperor Zhu Houzhao, who often made mischief in front of Zhu Houzhao and turned black and white upside down.
Now, Jiang Bin has extended his talons to Wang Yangming. He spared no effort to kill Wang Yangming by all means.
Jiang Bin began to study Wang Yangming carefully. As a result, he was dumbfounded after some investigation.
There is nothing wrong with Wang Yangming. He is a civil servant who is honest and clean, and does not corrupt or accept bribes. I am a decent person, I don't go to brothels, and I don't like gambling.
Jiang Bin had no choice but to sow discord in front of the emperor, but was flatly rejected. Because what Wang Yangming looks like, Zhu Houzhao has seen it in his eyes.
But even so, Jiang Bin still refused to give up, and he must seize the handle of Wang Yangming. Finally, one day, Jiang Bin thought he had found the so-called handle, and he was extremely proud.
He quickly sent Zhong Zhang to ask Wang Shouren:
"Wang Ning has been operating in Jiangxi for many years and must be very rich?"
Wang Yangming replied: "Yes."
Zhong Zhang secretly happy, thinking that Wang Yangming will be planted in his hands, meaningfully asked:
"Then why was there so little property when it was seized?"
How could Wang Shouren not understand the meaning of this, but he didn't respond positively, but mysteriously said:
"Zhang Gonggong, I just have something to discuss with you. I found an account book at Wang Ning's house with a lot of money and the name of the payee. Do you want to see it? "
Zhong Zhang trembled with fear because he got a lot of money from Wang Ning. He must be famous in this book.
He quickly declined: "No,no."
Later, Jiang Bin would pick on Wang Yangming again and again, but Wang Yangming was virtuous and fickle, and Jiang Bin failed once.
Being decent and doing things naturally aboveboard. Then, it is difficult for the person who hurts you to see the needle. As the saying goes, "Go straight and stand firm."
But you often walk by the river. You can't get your shoes wet. There will always be some wicked people who find fault with eggs and have nothing to do. Those decent ways of doing things on weekdays are of no use to them. And uncharacteristically, unexpectedly, show your sharpness, and you can really protect yourself.
Surprisingly honest, a brilliant life.
Sima Guang said: "Those who have both ability and political integrity are also saints."
For 500 years, Wang Yangming has been honored as a "saint" by the world because of his outstanding and integrity.
Wang Yangming was born in a scholarly family. Father Wang Hua hopes that he can gain fame and glory.
But Wang Yangming didn't get what he wanted. At the age of seventeen, Wang Yangming, who was in high spirits, said to Wang Hua, "I want to be a saint."
Wang Hua slapped him in anger, thinking that his son must be crazy.
Although his father didn't understand, Wang Yangming didn't flinch. He persisted on this strange road that few people walked on.
He studies everywhere, asks questions everywhere and studies hard. After twenty years' exploration, he finally succeeded in enlightenment, initiated the study of mind and became a philosopher.
Although Wang Yangming has great wisdom and profound knowledge, he has no shelf. He gives lectures everywhere, and he treats all the students he meets equally, whether they are rich or poor.
When Wang Gen, a student, came to visit his teacher, he wore strange clothes, which caused many people to come and watch.
Wang Yangming saw at a glance that Wang Gen only wanted to be famous on his own.
However, Wang Yangming, as always, warmly hosted Wang Gen to eat and live, and taught knowledge carefully.
After Wang Gen knew all this, he was instantly moved by Wang Yangming's tolerance and had a deeper respect for the teacher.
Wang Yangming conquered countless people with his noble character and profound knowledge. Everyone came to worship the teacher in succession, and the theory of mind soon became popular throughout the country, and it also became the guiding light for many outstanding people in later generations. Wang Yangming became a saint as famous as Confucius and Mencius.
To be upright and do strange things, the two complement each other to achieve a brilliant life.
If Wang Yangming, like ordinary people, studied only for a part-time job and did not stick to the road of sages, his name would not shine in the long river of history.
Without noble character and profound knowledge, Wang Yangming could not be a saint.
In life, your ability determines how high you can fly, and your literacy determines how long you can fly.
To be a good person, you can keep your mouth shut and move forward steadily.
Do things strangely and pay attention to methods. Attack the wicked by surprise; The direction of life is unique.
I hope you can be as honest and talented as Wang Yangming.
