During the Warring States period, one day, Xiang guotian of the State of Qi passed by the ZiHe River and saw an old master crossing the river in the distance.
It was winter, and the old man was wearing only a torn single coat, and he was barefoot, so you can imagine what it was like to freeze.
At this time, Tian Shan stopped the car and asked his followers with a Xiangguo mentality: "On such a cold day, this old man still has to cross the river, what do you say it is for?" ”
Naturally, the country's entourage is different from ordinary people, and they have launched heated discussions on political, economic, military, and people's livelihood, and some have written several poems expressing the lofty spirit of the people of the motherland in bravely building the four modernizations of the country without fear of the cold and cold.
Just as Tian Xiangguo was grading his followers, one of the followers shouted at an inappropriate time: "Adult, look at it!" The old man fainted! ”
Tian Shan raised his head and searched for half a day to find the old man, who was lying on the shore like a wooden stake, and Tian Shan quickly let the coachman rush over.
When they reached the old man, Tian Shan asked his entourage, "If any of you have extra clothes, go and put them on the old man!" As a result, none of the retinue squeaked, and a few of them secretly tightened their clothes.
Some people will say: Is this still a retinue of Tian Daxiang's country? How come there is not even this little awareness? Don't worry, this is where the followers are enlightened.
In ancient times, the bigger the person, the more to reflect the "close to the people", such as which people have difficulties, as a leader you make a phone call to solve, the effect is almost equal to zero. And if you can personally run over, and it is a cold greeting, and it is to pour tea and water, and when the interest comes, you take off your clothes to clean up, then the news effect is completely different, you are waiting for the day to be promoted!
Of course, Tian Xiangguo's entourage knew this truth better than we did, so no one stepped forward, but entrusted this glorious and arduous task to Tian Daxiangguo. Lao Tian was not polite, reached out and pulled off the mink coat on his body, covered the old man's body, posed a few poses, and quickly returned to the air-conditioned car.
This good deed of "stripping off the country to save the old man" naturally quickly became a major news reported by the major media, and the people of the whole country were also enthusiastically praising the benevolence of Tian Daxiangguo.
However, there was one person who felt very unhappy, that is, the king of the country at that time, King Qi Xiang.
If you want to know why King Qi Xiang is not happy, you must first tell me how his throne came about.
In 284 BC, the State of Yan was unhappy with the State of Qi, so it united with the other five kingdoms to attack the State of Qi, and although the State of Qi was coaxed, it could not withstand the beating of the Six Kingdoms, and the capital Linzi was occupied, and the king of the state, King Qi Min, was also killed. At this time, Tian Dan of the State of Qi stood up and led his army to repulse the Yan army and retake Linzi. After recovering Linzi, Lao Tian may feel that his credit is so great, can he be a king for a few days? Later, everyone disagreed, so they had to take back King Qi Xiang, the son of King Qi Min, and take himself as the prime minister.
Therefore, King Qi Xiang was very insecure about his throne and was always worried about being deposed by Lao Tian. This time, Lao Tian did a good job of good people, and naturally stimulated the King of Qi Xiang again, and said to himself with hatred: "Aren't you so fake benevolence and false righteousness that you want to buy people's hearts?" Want to ruin me? I want to destroy you first!" ”
Unfortunately, these words were heard by a pearl diver next to him, and he quickly advised King Qi Xiang: "Great King, you must not think so, Tian Xiangguo is also for the good of this country!" Besides, do you think that with your strength, you can compete with Xiangguo? ”
King Qi Xiang was not a stupid person, and after such a reminder, cold sweat came down. Yes, Tian Xiangguo's power is so big, it is not a matter of minutes to want to destroy himself? What strength do you have to show off with others? But just swallowing it so much and not being willing, what to do?
The pearl diver saw his thoughts and gave him an idea: "Great King, in fact, this is a good thing, but it is only temporarily biased towards Tian Xiangguo, as long as we make a little calculation, we can make this good thing biased towards the Great King." ”
King Qi Xiang listened, and this good thing?
The pearl diver said, "Actually, it is very simple, the king only needs to issue a commendation order to Tian Xiangguo." ”
When King Qi Xiang heard this, he issued him a commendation order? Are you crazy?
The pearl diver quickly explained: "Don't worry about the king first, the mystery is on the commendation order." The king said that the widow was worried that the people would not have enough to eat, so Tian Xiangguo would give them grain; the widow was worried that the people would have no clothes to wear, so Tian Xiangguo gave them his own clothes, which was in line with the widow's wishes, so he should especially reward Tian Xiangguo. ”
King Qi Xiang was a wise man, and immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Great! Now the common people know that Tian Xiangguo did those good things because of my advocacy, and naturally he would not be bribed by him! ”
The pearl diver then said: "This is only the first step, in a few days, the hundred officials will celebrate, and the king will once again reward Tian Xiangguo in front of the hundred officials, which not only allows Xiangguo to earn enough face, improve the relationship between the monarch and the subject, but also let more people know that the king is the advocate behind the scenes, everyone is happy, why not?" ”
In history, the contradiction between the young lord and the powerful lord has always been irreconcilable, and in the face of the sensitive psychology of the young lord, what the power lord does is wrong; and in the face of the increasingly powerful psychology of the power lord, the dragon chair does have great temptation. To mediate the contradictions between the two sides, it not only requires strong wisdom and patience, but also requires accurate vision.
This unknown pearl diver saw the key to the problem and struck a blow, which not only consolidated the position of the King of Qi Xiang, but also resolved the dilemma of Tian Xiangguo, which was too clever!
