Feng Yi entered the dynasty from Chang'an, and the emperor said to Gongqing: "When I started the army, the main book was also clothed with thorns for me, and the guanzhong was fixed." "After that, he gave treasures and money to him, and the edict said: "Cangpao Wu Ting bean porridge, Hutuo River wheat rice, thick intentions for a long time."

【Translation】

Feng Yi traveled from Chang'an to Luoyang to enter the Jin Dynasty. Liu Xiu said to Gongqing: "Feng Yi was the master book when I first started the army, cutting thorns and thorns for me and pacifying Guanzhong. When Jin saw that he had finished, he rewarded the treasures, money, and the treasures, and issued an edict saying: "When you were in Cangqiu, you offered bean porridge in Wupu Pavilion and wheat rice in the Tuotuo River, and you were affectionate and generous, and you failed to return for a long time. Feng Yi bowed his head and said, "I heard Guan Zhong say to Duke Huan: 'May the king not forget the fact that I shot you with a hook, and I did not forget that I was loaded into a prison cart.' 'The state of Qi has become strong on these two people, and I wish that Your Majesty will not forget the suffering of Hebei today, and I will not forget your kindness to me in The Town of Towel Car. Feng Yi stayed in Luoyang for more than ten days, and Liu Xiu ordered him and his wife and children to travel west to return to Renshou.

【Analysis】

Feng Yi's previous appearance was because someone secretly complained that Feng Yi was known as the "King of Xianyang".

In order to show his trust, Liu Xiu handed over the chapter of the complaint to Feng Yi, who was grateful to Shu Zero.

But when it comes to power, it's not something that a letter can say clearly.

For Feng Yi, he needs to let Liu Xiu know himself again and trust himself.

For Liu Xiu, he also needed to appease Feng Yi and make him loyal.

In the material, Feng Yi went to Luoyang to meet Liu Xiu, so the face-to-face meeting was appropriate.

The content of the meeting is as mentioned in the material.

Liu Xiu mentioned Feng Yi from two aspects.

The first is merit, which politically affirms Feng Yi's credit, and is also a powerful refutation of the content of the previous complaint against Feng Yi.

As long as Feng Yi does not come in the future, then Feng Yi's historical positioning in the Eastern Han Dynasty is stable.

The second is private favors, involving the extremely unbearable past when Liu Xiubei toured Hebei.

To the Wupu Pavilion, when the weather is cold and fierce, Feng Yi on the bean porridge.

When Liu Xiu was hungry and cold, Feng Yi found a bowl of bean porridge for Liu Xiu.

This incident made Liu Xiu remember it all the time.

Moreover, Liu Xiu also wrote this matter into the edict, solemnly mentioned it, and said that "I will not report it for a long time."

The key issue at this point is not that Liu Xiu wants to return anything to Feng Yi, but that Liu Xiu remembers Feng Yi's affection for him.

The implication is that Liu Xiu is a person who remembers the past and remembers kindness, but everything that is good to him, he will remember and give it back.

The question is, is there a person who has affection for Liu Xiu?

Therefore, solemnly announcing this matter in the form of an edict is not only for Feng Yi to see, but also for others to see.

Of course, from Feng Yi's point of view, Liu Xiu was so kind to him, it can be said that he really pushed his heart, and it was full of face.

And see how Feng Yi replied.

The subject also wishes that the country will not forget the difficulty of Hebei, and the young minister does not dare to forget the grace of the towel car.

Before someone sued Feng Yi's situation, he was also scared enough, since Liu Xiu had said something, Feng Yi also had to respond positively.

Feng Yi mentioned the old affairs of Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong, not to say that he compared himself to Guan Zhong, but to say that the relationship between the monarch and the subject was a model, although it was not a good beginning, but it was also a good end.

The implication is that Feng Yi is willing to be loyal to Liu Xiu.

At the same time, Feng Yi also said something like this: "The subject also wishes that the country will not forget the difficulty of Hebei, and the young minister does not dare to forget the grace of the towel car." ”

This is a statement on Liu Xiu's use of the edict to mention the matter of "Hutuo River Wheat Rice".

The scarf car mentioned in it refers to the fact that in the early days of Liu Xiu's army, Feng Yi was still an official of Wang Mang, and was captured by Liu Xiu when he went out on a tour.

Feng Yi proposed that he had an old mother in the city, and if he was released back to the city, he was willing to sacrifice five cities to return to Liu Xiu.

At that time, many people felt that Feng Yi's speech was unreliable, and let him go like a tiger returning to the mountain, while Liu Xiuli let Feng Yi go by public opinion.

Feng Yi also said as promised, that part of the city had surrendered to Liu Xiu.

Feng Yi mentioned this incident in response to Liu Xiu's mention of "Hutuo River Wheat Rice".

But the real connotation of this thing should be to think in reverse, since Feng Yi mentioned it, its real purpose is to convey to Liu Xiu that he is also a person who remembers kindness, and when Liu Xiu was kind to him, he also remembered it in his heart.

And Feng Yi put Liu Xiu's not forgetting the matter of Hebei with his own affairs of the scarf car township, which also had a kind of attitude.

As long as you can trust me, then I am also loyal.

Of course, such words and meanings cannot be said directly, but can only be implied.

【Idle】

In the above material, I think what is interesting is not the interaction between Liu Xiu and Feng Yi, but the fact that what Liu Xiu said behind it actually points to something.

When Feng Yi did these things, Liu Xiu really remembered.

The core here is that Liu Xiu remembered!

As long as it is a person, it is also eager to gain self-identification in the pursuit of profit.

Self-identity can be understood as the confirmation of existence in social groups, after all, people are social animals and need to find a sense of existence in social groups, and the sense of existence is largely derived from the feedback of others.

Therefore, when someone gives you confirmation, affirmation, and approval of some of your behaviors, it is actually giving you feedback.

You will have an indescribable feeling in your heart, such as being moved.

Looking at Liu Xiu's memorization of Feng Yi, this is the biggest inspiration for each of us.

If everyone's behavior is self-interested, then the next content is also based on self-interest.

Remember what other people are good to you, or some of the other person's highlight moments, those detailed scenes.

In some future, you can take these things out and talk about them.

The other party is very cool, because these things you say are recognition of others, and in the process of others being cool, you will feel very good.

Especially in the workplace, you are an employee, you can write down the leader's kindness to you, specific things, what environment, because of what, in the future, if there is a need to toast, thank you when mentioned, than the empty phrase "thank the leader for taking care of me" more effective.

If you are a leader, you also write down what an employee did, how he did it, what role he played, what effect he produced, and so on.

You may not have to give a reward, and at some point in the future, when you say it, the other party will feel that it is worth it, and the leader will see it in his eyes.

Therefore, it is beneficial to prepare a small notebook with you and take note of these things.
