Emperor Wu of Han's nursing mother broke the law and looked at him for the last time. When the time for execution was approaching, the nursing mother was escorted by the soldiers, turning back step by step, looking at Emperor Wu of Han with tears in her eyes.
The mad student Dongfang Shuo next to him shouted, "What are you still looking at, old and stupid stupid woman!" The emperor has grown up, do you still have to live on your milk"...
Emperor Wudi of Han had always respected her wet mother, and there was hardly anything she said that she did not listen to. Once, the nursing mother wrote to say, "There is a piece of public land somewhere, and I want to lend it to me." Without saying a word, Emperor Wu of Han gave the field to the nursing mother.
The "Chronicle of History" records that "the nursing mother wrote: "All the public lands of a certain place, may they be false." to give the nursing mother." It is precisely because of the grace of Emperor Wudi of Han that the nursing mother often causes trouble outside, but Emperor Wudi of Han always turns a blind eye and does not care.
As the emperor grew up, the arrogance of the nursing mother also reached the ears. Emperor Wudi of han studied the Four Books and Five Classics from an early age and was indignant when he saw this behavior of the nursing mother. In doing so, the nursing mother is simply deviant and discredited the country, and the foundation will be shaken.
Her crimes added up to enough to sentence her to death, but Emperor Wu of Han was very conflicted in his heart, after all, he grew up drinking nursing mother's milk, and this kindness could never be broken, but the lessons of recalling the past were vivid. The law was not merciful, so he had to kill her.
After receiving the news, the nursing mother immediately panicked, and looked for someone to intercede with Emperor Wu of Han everywhere, hoping that he could let her go once, but it was completely useless, and many people who helped him speak were punished for this, so no one dared to speak for her anymore.
When she felt desperate, someone gave her an idea: "You can go to Dongfang Shuo, a red man around Emperor Wu, for help, he is now very much favored by Emperor Wu, and if he can say a few good words to you, maybe you will still be saved." ”
So she hurried to Dongfang Shuo for help: "I hope that Mr. Huang will save my life, and I will definitely repay Mr. Dong's great kindness in my next life." ”
Dongfang Shuo said, "This matter cannot be argued by words, and it must not be said: Emperor, I am your grandmother, please forgive me!" Otherwise, your life is not guaranteed, you don't have to talk about anything, let alone feed the emperor, or there is one in ten thousand hopes that you can save you. Remember, when you go to say goodbye to the emperor, just silently tearfully, and look back at the emperor as you walk after saying goodbye. ”
The nursing mother walked according to the plan, saying goodbye to the emperor and crying as she walked, and looked back at the emperor from time to time, looking very reluctant. Dongfang Shuo shouted from the side, "Roll! Old woman! The emperor is already old, do you have to eat your milk to live?! Look back at what! ”
When Emperor Wu of Han heard Dongfang Shuo scolding the nursing mother, he thought of the nursing mother's love for him when he was a child, and suddenly his heart softened, and he immediately pardoned the crimes of the nursing mother and her family.
In the more than half a century of Liu Che's reign, the chancellor became a very dangerous position, and few people were able to start and end well and serve such a tyrannical emperor as Emperor Wu of Han.
Dongfang Shuo seems to be an exception, he is known for his rhetoric, he has no achievements in politics, and the largest official is only a thousand stones of Taizhong Doctor. However, Dongfang Shuo had long been a close vassal of Emperor Wu of Han, and had repeatedly provoked the emperor but was still in danger.
In the rescue of the nursing mother, he still plays his old tricks, still ironic, but the effect is not bad. His scolding of the nursing mother actually stabbed at Emperor Wu of Han. It may be that he is used to smiling and smiling, and Emperor Wu is mingjun after all, plus he is reasonable, emperor Wudi of Han accepted his advice.
Dongfang Shuo used the method of saying the opposite to save the wet nurse of Emperor Wu of Han. Speech in the workplace should still be exquisite, why do some words directly say that the effect is not good, but the reverse is better? It's just because the human psyche is at work.
If you say it positively, it will make the other party resist and strengthen the original idea. If you say the opposite, it will make the other party feel guilty, and the heart that is already fiercely fighting will be shaken, thus changing the original idea. That's the power of right and wrong.
Every time Dongfang Shuo and Emperor Wu of Han finished eating, they had to put the leftover meat in their arms and take it home for their wives to eat. However, his wife changed every year and continued for decades. He also told Emperor Wu of Han how to use the "shougong sand" to test women's chastity, and he was the favorite of Emperor Wu of Han.
From this point of view, Dongfang Shuo, who changes his wife every year, is probably self-defiling to protect himself! This kind of behavior occurred in the later Tang Dynasty famous general Guo Ziyi and the Founding Hero of the Ming Dynasty Tang He, and the originator was Dongfang Shuo!
Since the ancient heavens are unpredictable, in order to be able to stand firm and have a good death, Dongfang Shuo has created a crazy image for himself, which is probably a means of saving his life. From a certain point of view, Dongfang Shuo is very clever, do you say?
