There is a saying that is good, Xiu Cai met the soldiers, then it is reasonable and unclear. The Northern Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin used this as a strategy to dismiss the eloquent talents of the enemy southern dynasty from the Southern Tang. In ancient times, diplomacy was also a fierce battlefield. Courageous countries will agree with each other that the two countries will not fight each other. In the diplomatic field, the most important thing is a person's thinking and talent, and debate is not a primary school question.
In 960, Zhao Kuangyin established the Northern Song Dynasty. The dynasty was newly established, and all the rules were not formed. It was also at this time that Zhao Kuangyin used all his strength to recover the independent forces of all sides. Zhao Kuangyin and his people all know that they have vision and strategy, and can be good at writing and martial arts. With such a son of heaven, the Northern Song Dynasty rose to prominence.
At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, firepower was concentrated on local forces. Under pressure, the Southern Tang Dynasty lord claimed a vassal to the Northern Song Dynasty, but the conditions for this title were naturally to be discussed. In 974, the Southern Tang sent Xu Xuan, one of the Three Xus of Jiangnan, under the name of Shangshang. Xu Xuan has been reading history books since he was a child, and he can compose at the age of ten, and he is eloquent and eloquent. He talked about the reasoning even more, and there were goods in his stomach and a list of talents.
The Northern Song Dynasty wanted to show its dynastic style, and naturally it was necessary to find someone who was commensurate with the head to greet it. However, no one in the court dared to answer. Because xu hyun's reputation for being able and eloquent is very large, there is no mouth like a hanging river that can't say anything about him. Everyone was afraid that they would rush to meet him, and there was a small incident and a big loss of face. For a moment, the courtiers were a little embarrassed.
Seo Hyun grew a mouth that was not only used for eating, but also asked the greeter to eat a word of suffering several times. The chancellor had no other choice but to report the matter to Emperor Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin is not a good lord, he thought about it, this enables the courtiers to speak eloquently, then the Northern Song Dynasty must find someone who can do better than him? Of course, the answer was not necessary, Zhao Kuangyin looked back and saw the big tall stupid guard standing at the door, and suddenly noticed.
Zhao Kuangyin casually pointed to the guards at the door and said to the prime minister, let the illiterates go to the reception. The prime minister was a little confused for a moment, and he had thousands of questions in his heart, but he did not dare to question the emperor's decision. In this way, the guards received Xu Xuan, the talented son of the Southern Tang Dynasty. As soon as Seo Hyun saw the visitor, he had preconceived notions, intending to let the guards follow his train of thought. At first, the guards took on this big task of the day, and their hearts were a little afraid.
Therefore, the guards listened for half a day and did not understand what Xu Xuan was talking about, even if Xu Xuan said that the waves were terrifying, the guards were still like mountains. Xu Xuan spoke for half a day, and did not see the guards talking, and gradually found that what he was doing was useless. He just speaks dryly, and the other party will not give him half a response.
Seo Hyun finally knew that if he continued to talk, he would become like a beam-jumping clown, so he stopped talking. Silence is the best outcome in this negotiation. This strategy Zhao Kuangyin is very good, which also truly reflects Zhao Kuangyin's reverse thinking ability is very human. With Zhao Kuangyin, there was the Northern Song Dynasty.
Xiucai and Bing have different ways of thinking, so it is difficult for them to communicate with each other. If Zhao Kuangyin had chosen someone who could speak eloquently to confront Seo Hyun at the beginning, it would be very likely that Seo Hyun would turn black into white. And appropriately avoid its strengths, in its weaknesses. This is where the wisdom of the emperor lies. This story brings us to think, and it is beneficial.
