I heard you want to be emperor

This is the 146th original article of the Wen ge public account

Yesterday a classmate asked me if I have any books such as imperial art, it just so happens that we have watched more court dramas since we were young, and every boy is estimated to have an emperor dream, so today I will talk about imperial art.

First of all, we must be clear that all the books on the art of monarchy on the market are absolutely false, either the conjecture of which master or the speculation of which writer.

Because the true imperial art is precisely something similar to the Tao.

It is difficult to explain clearly, and there are very few people who understand it themselves.

There are only two kinds of people who can master the art of imperials, or they are highly knowledgeable and highly knowledgeable, and they can come and go freely in the world.

Either it was a core member of the imperial court and an emperor.

Let me give you an example.

We all know the origin and meaning of the idiom Sangu Maolu, which is an allusion to Liu Bei's invitation to Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountains, but the real history is not like this.

The truth of history is that Zhuge Liang is not a commoner of ordinary identity at all.

Zhuge Liang's family has 3 sons and 2 daughters, and Zhuge Liang ranks 4th.

His eldest brother-in-law, Pu Qi, and second brother-in-law Pang Shanmin belonged to the Two Families of Pu and Pang.

These two families are not simple, and they are important political forces in Jingzhou.

Pang Shanmin's cousin is Pang Tong, the Pang Tong who is known as the Phoenix Chick.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan was also a famous scholar in Jingzhou, and this father-in-law's father-in-law, Cai Yan, was the father of Cai Mao, a heavy minister under Liu Biao.

Cai Mao's younger daughter, Cai Mao's sister and Huang Chengyan's wife and sister, married Liu Biao.

Then she gave birth to Liu Chun, who in turn married Lady Cai's niece.

A bit around, it doesn't matter, you just need to know that Zhuge Liang and Liu Qi Liu Chun are related.

That is to say, Zhuge Liang agreed to go out of the mountain, not at all because of any courtesy corporal, not at all because of any sincere touch, but Zhuge Liang was involved in the above mentioned families, which had a great impact on the whole situation.

But the people don't know, and what the people hear is only what is said in the textbook.

You can't pass the first level of information, and you don't want to know what the real imperial art is.

In the middle of last year, I wrote an article called "Why Chongzhen Can't Do It", which is of course the content of the "Ou Shen Anthology".

Because by the time of Xiao Zhen's generation, there was a fault in imperial education, and Xiao Zhen did not know how to govern the country and did not know how to manage.

I actually heard Confucian ministers put forward such a naïve slogan as "ruling the world with filial piety."

Coupled with the lack of awareness of the role of the basic disk, do not know how to cultivate their own team, there is a situation where no one is available in the back.

So failure is inevitable.

What can we learn from these cases?

That is to not care about things that are far away from us, there is no point.

You're not a first-hand recipient of information, you're not a significant person, and knowing more is not necessarily a good thing.

Those major news and national events now are understandable to you as an ordinary person.

impossible.

If you understand this, how can you be an ordinary person?

We often say that money needs virtue and cultivation to carry, but in fact, knowledge is the same.

The right time to know the right reason to do the right thing, is the right.

Start with basic life and work.

To understand how to make money, how to grow, how to live better, is the most important.

Good luck.
