Generally for us, conspiracies are linked to tricks, and they are all means of ill-intentions. But it is also a strategy for using soldiers, but conspiracies are generally invisible. Yang conspiracy is relative to conspiracy, and at the same time, according to the existing conditions, it is not dependent on others to change its own resource allocation in a just way. Throughout the ages, there have been three famous yang schemes, which know that it is a pit but have to jump into it by themselves, and the last one is simply incomprehensible.
The conspiracy can be said to be much more clever than the conspiracy strategy, and it is the same as the conspiracy to achieve a certain goal. But conspiracies are generally flawed in private, but conspiracies do not, they move with the trend. There is a man who once said that business is the most widely used conspiracy, and you know that his price will definitely be higher than the purchase price, but you have to buy it, and you think it is deserved.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarch of the State of Qi, Qi Jinggong, had three generals, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi, who, like many generals throughout the ages, had many meritorious achievements, but they were also equally meritorious and arrogant. But these three are not so active, one is that they have distinguished their military achievements, and the other three are very good brothers, and moving one of the other two will not give up.
After Yan Zi came to the State of Qi, he felt that he must get rid of these three people, and although Qi Jinggong was a little reluctant, he also felt that Yan Zi was right. But Qi Jinggong had no way, so he handed it over to Yan Zi to do this. Yan Zi came up with a plan at this time, he called three people over to say that they wanted a reward, and when the three of them arrived, they saw two large sweet and delicious peaches on the plate. At this time, Yan Zi began to lay down the set: all three were well-known generals, and there was a new variety of peach tree in the palace, and the king wanted to reward you. But there are only two, so you might as well eat whoever has done a great service to the country.
Speaking of the three people who had achieved battle merit, Gongsun then said: I was caught and suppressed in the forest, and I also killed a fierce tiger in the mountains, and this peach should be eaten by me. So he took out a peach and ate it, and Tian Kaijiang looked at it and hurriedly said: I have led my soldiers to repel the enemy several times, and is it not worthy to enjoy peaches to defend my family and defend the country? So he also ate one, and the last Gu Yezi left was nothing.
He was just polite, but then he got angry and said: When I fought with a huge turtle monster in order to protect the monarch, was my credit not great? The other two men were ashamed of what they said, so they drew their swords and committed suicide. Gu Yezi originally meant that when he saw the corpse, he began to regret it, so he also drew his sword and committed suicide. These three brave generals committed suicide because of two peaches, which is not unwise.
Cao Cao blackmailed Tianzi to order the princes and issue orders in the name of the emperor. Cao Cao controlled Emperor Xian of Han, in fact, the Han court, and Emperor Xian of Han was nominally the emperor, but the real power was in Cao Cao's hands. The ministers all knew Cao Cao's deeds, but they couldn't do anything, because they didn't dare to do anything to tianzi, they could only listen to Cao Cao's words.
The last was the more ruthless Tuien Order, a move implemented by Emperor Wu of Han to consolidate his own power. The edict was about asking the princes to divide their fiefs among their sons, so that the more children the princes had, the less land they would eventually have, and if they did not do so, the second sons would have an opinion. So they had to do it, but after the partition of the land became smaller and smaller, it was no longer a threat to the Han Dynasty. This trick is incomprehensible, if the princes and kings may not be able to resist the rebellion, it will be impossible to rebel after listening to it.
