Whether human nature is good or evil is not decided here, but people often disguise or package themselves in order to achieve some purpose. For example, a certain star who was originally praised for the good of the Gu family suddenly appeared suspected of stealing, and the originally upright star was rumored to be drug addicted and arrested. There are countless such examples, and the same was true in ancient times. Let's take a look at how the ancients packaged themselves, or later prevented others and protected themselves.
We know that the earliest dynasty belonged to the Xia Shang Dynasty, which was first hereditary, directly succeeded by the emperor's son, until the first monarch in history who had a bad reputation, who was able to write and be able to use martial arts, was very brutal. When the people were devastated by the monarch, Tang appeared, overthrew the dynasty, and rescued the people.
But before the uprising, Tang Psychology has always been very clear, even if he gets rid of the tyrant for the people, the people are happy, but it may also be said that it is for his own interests, his desire to be the emperor to destroy the monarch, although he does think so in his heart, but if he directly takes it to the table, the rebellion is unreasonable, and his throne is not long. How greedy people are, they want to have the throne, and they want the people to praise and praise. But he did.
How to do it, he first used various methods to add fuel to the abominations he had done before, to spread them out, to make the people feel that such a monarch really could not let him do it anymore, and hoped that a hero would appear to rescue them, and that the appearance of the soup was forced, out of justice and humanity. He also spread other rumors: he wanted to give the throne to a man named Wu Guang to manage, Wu Guang was very famous at that time, but Tang, a duplicitous person, only casually talked about it, so that he would not give his own country and mountains to others.
As clever as he was, he quietly found someone to talk to Wu Guang, which roughly means that Tang killed the monarch, but he was afraid that he would be reprimanded by the people for violating the common sense of hereditary inheritance before saying that he would give you the throne and let you bear this crime. Although it is unreasonable to think about it, a person of high reputation as Gu Guang did not think carefully, and in order to protect his reputation, he jumped into the river and ended his life.
The idea of the right soup. Since he committed suicide, the throne could only be inherited by himself. Not only did he keep his reputation, but he also took the position of king, and he has been praised by us until now, and he is really good at packaging.
There is also a monarch called 哙, which is the State of Yan. Like soup, the throne is obtained at the same time as the good name. When he was older, he was blown away by others and began to pack himself. At this time, a courtier who knew the monarch very well appeared, named Zizhi, and he said to everyone: I will not ask for the throne, and I will not ask for it if Zen gives it to me. Of course, he was very happy to hear this, so he said that he wanted to give him the throne, intending to impersonate the meaning and shirk it twice. However, Zizhi did not refuse as he had said earlier, and he accepted it happily. At this time, the man who had suffered a loss could not say anything, but he must have wanted the throne, so he rebelled. The result is not much to say, compared to the soup, this is a negative example.
Han Feizi believed that human nature was inherently evil, so he recorded various stories in his book that exposed the dark side of human nature. One of them tells the story of Li Ji, who lost his career due to a momentary frustration, and his wife also betrayed him and cheated on a young handsome man.
When they came home one day, the two were in a private meeting and did not know what to do, and the young man actually ran out naked and pretending to be a ghost. Startled, he went home and asked his wife and the maid, and the two said that they hadn't seen it, and Li Ji was afraid that he hadn't bumped into the evil, and he had to use the urine of the livestock to mix it together to crack it, which frightened Li Ji and immediately let them prepare. The author jokes like this: a person has no power, if he is not careful, everyone around him will leave, Li Ji is like this, not only the top of his head turns green but also gets drenched in urine.
It doesn't say that it's right or wrong to do so, it's also an art of language and performance. There are so many people in history who have selfish desires, and there are many people who do shameless things, but there are not so many people who can do this level, and it is also very smart to be able to do so.
