We read all the lead to present a different history.
In ancient times, when the emperor was similar to the current leader, the management method was exquisite and relaxed, and the art of driving people was just like the art of riding horses. The ruling class of a country cannot function on the emperor himself, and there must be a group of courtiers and military generals to form a relatively stable system, and whether the civil and military officials in this system are properly managed or not becomes the criterion for measuring the ability of this emperor.
Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, played the art of mastering people with ease, and once used a glass of wine to easily solve the hidden dangers of the martial generals around him. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Great Song Dynasty stationed Li Hanchao on the northern border to defend against the Khitans who were eyeing the tiger. This founding general was not only brave and brave, but also good at military tactics, and the Khitans suffered many losses under him, so that when they heard his name, they were frightened and did not dare to venture forward.
Although General Li was good at fighting, the military discipline of his troops was loose, and Li Hanchao turned a blind eye to the plundering of the surrounding people by his soldiers, which caused deep resentment among the people near the garrison. The matter was later reported to the imperial palace, and Zhao Kuangyin asked the officials who came to complain: "After General Li went to the north, did the Khitans invade the border and kill people and set fires everywhere?" ”
The complainant replied: "After General Li was stationed in the north, the Khitans did shrink a lot, but General Li and his soldiers..." Zhao Kuangyin was furious: "When the Khitans were robbing everywhere, you came to make retribution, I sent General Li to fight the Khitans and drive them back to their hometowns, and now General Li is only temporarily requisitioning some property from the common people to expand their armaments. ”
After speaking, he ordered all the people who came to complain to be driven out of the palace.
Subsequently, Zhao Kuangyin invited Li Hanchao's mother to the palace and said to her in a calm tone: "General Li and I have been good brothers for many years, and Brother Li has been holding out in the north and fighting for the Han Dynasty. If there is any need in the family, despite the words, there is no need to go to the local people, they are not rich. "After saying this, he ordered the old woman to give her three thousand taels of gold."
After this incident, Li Hanchao was willing to do everything for Zhao Kuangyin, and no longer dared to indulge the soldiers to harass the people, and the local people did not come back to petition.
Tang Taizong also had his own unique understanding of the way of taming people, and when Zhenguan was four years old, Tang put Li Jing to pacify the Eastern Turks and made a military achievement. At this moment, the imperial court's imperial master consulted Li Jing and said: "Li Jing's troops have no discipline at all, resulting in the army capturing the Spoils of War of the Turks being lost in the rebellion. ”
Hearing that someone said bad things about themselves next to the emperor, Li Jing was very afraid, and the emperor's next move made Li Jing even more like a needle.
Li Shimin scolded Li Jing for his crime of not being strict with the army in the song chapter, but did not say anything about Li Jing's crusade against the Turks. As a courtier, Li Jing dared to argue with the emperor, let alone ask for credit, and could only keep prostrating his head and apologizing. After this incident, Li Jing did not think about tea and dinner every day, and when Li Shimin saw that the time had come, he declared Li Jing into the palace and said to him:
"The former dynasty general Shi Wanzai once went on an expedition to the Turks like you and won a great victory, but after his class returned to the dynasty, he did not discuss the merits and rewards, but was arbitrarily arranged by the emperor to be beheaded. You must have heard of these things, but you don't have to worry, I won't do this kind of rabbit and dog cooking. I thought about it carefully and, in the end, decided to ignore your fault and reward you well. ”
Li Shimin's words made Li Jing's heart fall back into his stomach, and day and night of fear and fear finally came to an end, and after that, there was an honor to regain a new life.
Within a few days, Li Shimin gave Li Jing two thousand silks and promoted him to Shangshu servant. Li Jing's mood can be said to have climbed all the way from the trough to the peak, the other day he was still worried that Li Shimin would kill himself, but now, he has turned the crisis into safety, and Li Jing has completely understood Li Shimin's routine of enwei and shi.
The reason why Li Shimin was embarrassed by Li Jing was also that he was afraid that one day he would make a great contribution to the Lord, and first give him a dismount so that Li Jing could safely keep to himself in the future. In fact, in addition to Zhao Kuangyin and Li Shimin's two-pronged approach of slapping and sweet dates, there will also be a routine of giving up small and protecting big in the art of taming people.
During the Yongle period, the ethnic minorities in the Guizhou region far away from the Shangao Emperor were huge, and the imperial court's governor Ma Ye, who was stationed in the local area, calculated everything in the hope of provoking the indigenous forces to rebel, so he could seize this handle to abolish the Guizhou toast system and take the opportunity to ascend to the throne. After that, Ma Ye grabbed the wife of the local toast chief and ordered her to be stripped naked and beaten up in public.
This move directly annoyed the natives of Guizhou, who planned to rise up, but were stopped by the head of the toast. He understood that acting rashly was not a good idea, so the head of the toast personally went to the capital to file a complaint. The Yongle Emperor always held a tacit attitude towards what Ma Ye did, and he also understood that Ma Ye's radicalism was entirely for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, but the Yongle Emperor at this time did not favor Ma Ye, but used his life to make a deal with Guizhou Toast.
The Yongle Emperor demanded that Guizhou Toast build an official road from Guizhou to Sichuan and never rebel, and after the consent of the indigenous side of Guizhou, the Yongle Emperor gleefully called Ma Ye back to the capital to be beheaded. Once the official road was passed, the horse whip of the imperial court could finally be waved to Guizhou, and in the end, Ma Ye became the substitute ghost in this incident.
After this incident, the Yongle Emperor specifically said: "I am well aware of Ma Ye's loyalty, but if I favor Ma Ye, Guizhou will fall into chaos." This sentence is probably difficult to refute even Ma Ye under the Nine Springs, so he can only admit it.
