Zizhi Tongjian, vol. 41, Han Dynasty 33
Emperor Jianwu of the Han Dynasty (己丑, 29 AD)
【Original】(You can skip the analysis directly)
Kui Huan was self-effacing and wise, and every time he was compared to Siber, he negotiated with the generals to become king. Zheng Xingyue: "King Xiwen has two of the three divisions of the world, and he still serves Yin; The eight hundred princes of the King of Wu did not conspire with each other, and they were still waiting for the army; Emperor Gao had been conquering for many years, and he was a master of Pei Gong. Although the present Lingde is clear, there is no Zong Zhou Zhizuo; Although Wei Liu zhen, he did not have the merits of gaozu; And if you want to do something that can't be done, it will be a disaster, and it is impossible to do it! "The hustle and bustle is over. Later, he also widely held a position with high self-esteem, Zheng Xingyue: "Fuzhong Lang General, Taizhong Doctor, envoy and governor are all the instruments of the king, and they are not controlled by human subjects." It is not beneficial to the truth, it is detrimental to the name, and it is not the meaning of the honor. "The hustle and bustle is over.
【Translation】 (you can skip and look directly at the analysis)
Kui Huan boasted of himself, manneristic and clever, often comparing himself to King Wen of Zhou. He consulted with his generals and wanted to claim the throne. Zheng Xing said: "In the past, King Wen of Zhou occupied two-thirds of the world and also claimed to the Shang Dynasty. King Wu of Zhou and the eight hundred princes gathered together without prior consultation, and they had to retreat and wait for the opportunity. Emperor Gao fought for years and commanded the army in the name of 'Pei Gong'. Now your kindness is obvious, but there is no succession of thrones from generation to generation in the Zhou Dynasty; Although your prestige is slightly high, it does not have the military merits of Emperor Gao. If you want to do something that is impossible, it will obviously hasten the arrival of evil, and I am afraid that you cannot do it! Kui Huan then gave up his plan. Later, Kui Huan appointed a large number of officials to show his dignity and nobility. Zheng Xing said: "General Zhonglang, Taizhong Doctor, and Envoy And Commander are all the specifications of the emperor, not the courtiers should set. It is not good for reality, but it is harmful to the name, not to respect the original intention of the Lord. Kui Huan was very dissatisfied, but he had to give up.
【Analysis】
As mentioned in the previous article, behind all human affairs is the result of a power game.
Similarly, the back of personnel also represents a change in the direction of the wind, or if you want to do something, the supporting personnel must also be in place.
In the real workplace and official field, it is impossible to say that you have a word above, and the following will be done for you.
Those who do things, especially in the core position, also have their own interests.
Once what you want to do is inconsistent with these interests, you are bound to encounter resistance.
At this time, either the united front or personnel adjustments will be made, and if they are forcibly suppressed, chaos will inevitably occur.
Returning to the above materials, Kui Huan's anti-heart has emerged, but kui huan's internal support for separatism and rebellion is not very high.
This internal consciousness split is actually for a reason.
At that time, the world was in chaos, Kui Huan went to Longyou to erect the banner of Xinghan, and in addition to his own knowledge of scriptures, many Confucian scholars went to Longyou.
For example, this Zheng Xing and others are like this.
Note that the people under Kui Huan's hands can be divided into the following factions on the question of whether to divide or restore the Han Dynasty.
First, those who support the division of the kui are more dominated by local forces.
Second, support the Fu Han, who are mainly foreigners.
Third, the ambiguous centrist, who is mainly based on family interests, is indispensable for dividing up and restoring Han.
And these Fu Han people, because most of them were already famous at that time, had a relatively large influence within Kui Huan.
Even if Kui Huan wants to divide the territory, because of these outsiders, Kui Huan as a whole is still inclined to fu Han or liu xiu.
Now Kui Huan wants to divide the territory, and there are two aspects of specific performance or operation, called the king and widely placed positions.
Let's look at the connotation of this matter one by one.
For the king, the above is said.
Kui Huan was self-effacing and wise, and every time he was compared to Siber, he negotiated with the generals to become king.
Pay attention to the last 7 words, discuss with the general, did not discuss with everyone, it can be seen that Kui Hu is very clear, the basic disk of his own kingship or division is the army, and the army does not support everything blind.
Zheng Xing is a foreigner, his identity is Da Ru, how does he know this? Most likely, the families from which these generals came from, some of whom were good with Zheng Xing or who were inclined to Liu Xiu, revealed these contents.
Zheng Xing came out to oppose, and Kui Huan knew that some generals did not have the same heart as him.
For the matter of raising the official position, Zheng Xing saw very clearly, this thing is not half a practical benefit to Kui Huan except to say it well.
But for Kui Huan, there are two connotations.
First, use the power within the team as a test to see who can cooperate.
Second, through the adjustment of personnel operations, those who support the hustle and bustle will be moved to a key position, so that the influence of internal support for the separation of the voices will be expanded.
Third, some people are tied up through the granting of official positions.
It is not difficult to speculate on Kui Huan's intentions, zheng Xing's opposition, in addition to his own political tendencies, also wants to take credit for himself by stabilizing Kui Huan and not rebelling.
It's just that now Kui Huan seems to have an iron heart to divide the territory, Zheng Xing's opposition once or twice is okay, and there are more opponents, I'm afraid that Kui Huan may not be able to tolerate Zheng Xing.
It was precisely in this way that Zheng Xing later sought opportunities to return to Guanzhong and the Central Plains in order to break away from the vortex of Longyou.

When I saw the above material, I thought of the bridge section in "Water Margin".
In order to promote Zhao'an, Song Jiang did so.
The change of Juyi Hall to Zhongyi Hall indicates a change in the direction of the wind, and the route of the original Chao Gai is changed.
He arranged all his concubines into the 36 days, which was the personnel layout.
It also allowed those original imperial court officials to fill key positions and improve the right to speak in Zhao'an.
And these people themselves came out of the Song court, and their hearts to go back were naturally eager.
Therefore, after the 36-day Gang ranking, the internal tone of Liangshan Zhao'an was basically fixed.
Previous articles have mentioned more than once what's behind personnel.
The adjustment of personnel is a change in the direction of the wind, but also an opportunity.
From the perspective of doing one thing simply, the greater the thing you want to do or do, the more people who oppose it, and the greater the benefits you touch.
Therefore, at this time, personnel adjustment is actually a strategy to reduce resistance.
Slowly let the people involved in the relevant decision-making be replaced by their own people, reduce the pressure of opposition, so that things will be easier to handle slowly, and decision-making can be passed smoothly.
For example, the recent usurpation of the Roe v. Wade case by the United States seems to be in biden's hands now, but the source has to mention that Trump appointed 3 conservative justices during his presidency, which is closely related to this matter.
So, in turn, look at why you should arrange your own people to key positions.
It's not because the person is his own.
It is because it is advantageous for oneself to arrange one's own people, and one needs one's own people to support oneself.
If someone is not one heart, what happens next? You guess.
