【Analysis】 Dong Zhuo appointed his younger brother Min as the left general and his brother Huang as a lieutenant in the middle military academy, both in charge of military power. His clan and relatives all served as high officials in the court, and even the newly born son of Dong Zhuo's concubine was also made a marquis.

Using the marquis's gold seal and purple ribbon as a toy, Dong Zhuo rode in the same vehicle and wore all kinds of clothing and ornaments as the emperor, and he issued orders to Shang Shutai, Yushitai, and Fujietai, and officials below Shangshu had to go to his Taishi Mansion to report and ask for instructions.

He also built a huge fort on the ground, with a wall seven inches high and seven inches thick, and stored enough grain to eat for thirty years, and he said to himself: When the big things are completed, they can dominate the world, and if they are not enough to hold on, they will be enough to live for the elderly.

【Analysis】

1. Unfair distribution

After Dong Zhuo took control of the government, he installed his relatives and friends in the court as high officials, and even the sons just born to the concubines were made marquises, and the sons of the service personnel did not have any merit, but they were made marquises, and the distribution of benefits was extremely unfair.

The birth and death of the generals may not necessarily be able to be marquis, so it is extremely difficult to be a marquis, and a baby without any merit is crowned, Dong Zhuo because of the unfair distribution of benefits, and chilled the hearts of the generals, Dong Zhuo abused his cronies, do not use idle people, and do not know how to distribute benefits, lose the support of the generals, and it is sooner or later that he will fall.

2. Moral error

Although Dong Zhuo controls the political power, he is not of the Liu clan's consort bloodline, and in terms of name, he is not an emperor, but he imitates the emperor's standards, which is not in line with morality, and it is easy to cause public anger and even lose the hearts of the people.

The other princes were certainly unhappy, especially the larger princes such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao, because they also wanted to be emperors, and now that they had seized Dong Zhuo's serious moral error, they must stand on the moral high ground and condemn it.

3. Complement each other

Some leaders who are removed from power are not necessarily mistakes, nor are they necessarily a problem of ability, but because they do not know how to distribute benefits, resulting in being jointly removed from power by subordinates, in fact, from the perspective of subordinates, it does not matter who is the leader, the premise is to ensure their interests.

If the leader cannot guarantee the interests of the subordinates, the subordinates will definitely do things, the subordinates will support you as a leader, you cannot seek benefits for the subordinates, do not engage you in who? Therefore, the interests of subordinates and the interests of leaders are mutually reinforcing, and the distribution of interests is also an art, and it is impossible to be a leader without understanding this art.

At that time, Xiang Yu did not know how to distribute benefits, and chilled the hearts of the princes, resulting in the loss of the support of the princes, and losing the support of the princes would also lose the Jiangshan, while Liu Bang knew how to distribute benefits, so he won the support of the princes and thus won the world.

4. Take history as a mirror

The three-person line produces power, the formation of power comes from the support of subordinates, if the power is to be stable, it is necessary to safeguard the interests of the subordinates, the leader to protect the interests of the subordinates, the subordinates to maintain the stability of the leadership power, each other has success, there is no single maintenance.

The new official takes office first to give grace, grace is actually the use of the power in the hand, for the welfare of the confidant, the confidant to obtain the favor of the leader, will use the behavior to maintain the power of the leader, the leader through the power of grace, the subordinate through the action to repay the favor, with the increase of the confidant, the more stable the power, otherwise the power is used at will to clean up the subordinates, the subordinates are absolutely dissatisfied.

Having power should be grace to give grace, through grace to win over subordinates, do not easily motivate the power to clean up subordinates, if you do encounter hard bones, and then power power, but can only be broken, not one-size-fits-all, otherwise it will touch the subordinate alliance.
