Why Zhang Liang was willing to abandon human affairs at the most glorious time

As the rule of the Han Dynasty became more stable, Zhang Liang, a famous minister of the generation who "strategized and won thousands of miles away", decided to save his life and withdraw from the center of power, which was not an easy decision, nor was it an easy thing to make.

First, why did Zhang Liang retreat all over?

Willing to renounce human affairs. Willing to give up, willing to ignore the right and wrong of the world, the ups and downs of the world; I don't care, I wash my hands in the golden basin, okay? Why do you want to do this? How hard is this thing to do? How do you do this? Can you see how Zhang Liang did it?

After the ruthless Liu Bang unified the world, after losing Xiang Yu, a major opponent, the muzzle began to turn inward - the heroes who helped him start his business, especially the great heroes, were systematically purged. Is Liu Bang the worst emperor? No. Liu Bang is quite benevolent and righteous, and the start is not too dark, but did Liu Bang do the liquidation? Liu Bang did. It was said before that Liu Bang has three miraculous abilities: first, tolerant of the elderly, generous and tolerant; 2. Be good at learning; Third, don't be faceless, put things in front of your own face, put things in front of your emotions.

Now that Liu Bang has become the emperor, won the world, and killed Xiang Yu, the biggest thing he faces is safety—the safety of Liu's Jiangshan, and the stability of Liu's Jiangshan. For this matter, what he needs to do is to control the people who have made meritorious achievements in the past, reduce the resources and energy they can mobilize, and reduce the threat they may have to the Liu family. Han Xin was demoted all the way from the King of Qi to the Marquis of Huaiyin, and was finally killed by Empress Lü and Xiao He when Liu Bang was out to suppress the rebellion, which Liu Bang could not have known about. After that, Xiao He, who designed to kill Han Xin with Empress Lu, was also suspected and forced to create scandals, self-stigmatizing, and went to prison.

Xiao He ranked second among the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin ranked third among the meritorious heroes of the Han Dynasty after Xiao He, and Zhang Liang ranked first. Zhang Liang is very beautiful, not strong, and sick; But the intelligent and beautiful Zhang Liang smelled the dangerous smell long before the above-mentioned unfortunate incident with Han Xin and Xiao He happened, and began his torrential retreat.

Willing to abandon human affairs, willing to put aside human affairs—fame, wealth, power, and color. Willing to renounce human affairs, especially if this renunciation is voluntary, what a strong realm.

Second, Zhang Liang knows that in the face of disease, fame and fortune are floating clouds

First, Liu Bang has always admitted that Zhang Liang thinks things smarter than him, is more accurate than him, and is more ruthless than him; Second, Zhang Lai's important opinion, Liu Bang never objected, at least in the entire Zizhi Tongjian, in the entire Sima Guang's account, I did not see a single time when Liu Bang did not pay attention to Zhang Liang's opinion; Third, even when Zhang Liang does not take the initiative to say it sometimes, Liu Bang has formed a subconscious habit - ask Zhang Liang, Zifang, what do you think? Therefore, Zhang Liang's position was crucial in the entire process of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Liang's position in Liu Bang's heart was crucial, and Zhang Liang was also the undisputed number one strategic master in his time.

Zhang Liangping is sick, very beautiful, looks like a woman, although it is not said in the "Zizhi Tongjian", but I personally estimate that Zhang Liang is a feminine beauty type, and has been sick since childhood. In fact, to say more, when I was a child, I was sick but helped me grow up to understand the world's "birth, old age, illness, separation, hatred, and unwanting", and have a better understanding of these sufferings than ordinary people.

Zhang Liang often told people around him that his family had been the prime minister in Korea for generations, and when Korea was destroyed, their family scattered thousands of gold, just to avenge Korea, they tried to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, but it didn't work, but the world shook. This incident is in the seventh volume of the Zizhi Tongjian, the 29th year of Qin Shi Huang. After the attempted assassination of Qin Shi Huang, Zhang Liang began to follow Liu Bang against Qin, and today, the anti-Qin campaign is successful, the world is peaceful, and the world returns to the Han. Zhang Liang became the emperor's first teacher with a three-inch uncorrupted tongue. Seal the Marquis of Ten Thousand Families. Zhang Liang achieved the highest position that should not be achieved - under the emperor, it was him. The matter of sealing the Ten Thousand Households Marquis was enough for Zhang Liang.

Third, why is it difficult to make people like Zhang Liang give up fame and fortune?

Zhang Liang's frail and sickness is a bad thing, but for Zhang Liang, frail and sickness may have saved Zhang Liang. Let Zhang Lai that is not so hot fame and fortune. See how fragile human beings are in the face of "disease". It's not easy to let go of power, and when you start to enjoy it, why do you say that?

If you think about Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin and other people, in the past few decades, they have used this world as a game field to play games every day, and the real world as a virtual world. He was born into death, fought hundreds of battles, came up with so many ideas, made so many strategies, did so many strategy executions, watched the bullying of the world, and saw some living people benefited because of their own ideas and strategies, or lost their arms, legs, or even lost their lives and families. For these so-called heroes, the world is a stage, that is a playground. Both physically and mentally, whether it is the level of hormones - adrenaline, dopamine, endorphins, have adapted to the joy of attacking cities, killing and seizing land, opening up territory, and chasing deer in the Central Plains.

If you lose power, especially if your brain is still normal, you can still run at high speed, your wisdom is still there, you still know what most people can't know, and you still have a strong desire, but you don't want it. How hard this is. Once lively, arrogant, happy, and thrilling, it suddenly became a clear breeze and a cold pommel horse in front of the door. This sense of gap is unbearable for normal people.

4. Covet fame, profit, and power in your hands

First, the feeling of being greedy for oneself, greedy for power in one's hands, greedy for one's name, greedy for others revolving around oneself, and hugging before and after. Coveting it all, it all really makes people feel good. Studies have shown that most female neurological patients are because they want to love and lack love, and most of the male mental patients are because they want to chase the Central Plains and have not succeeded, or have no chance, or lose. They are self-greedy for this feeling of being hugged by the front and back, self-greedy for this feeling of pointing the finger, self-greedy for this feeling of being a good person, self-greedy for the feeling of being famous, beneficial, powerful, and colored, and this feeling of being an "alpha man" all the time.

When you have the conditions, when you can do all this, you wash your own hands in the golden basin, and the difficulty is no less than that of leading the knife from the palace. Sometimes a few simple words, you are not in that scene, you do not understand how difficult it is. How many people wanted to see Zhang Liang before, how many people wanted to chat with Zhang Liang, how many people wanted to tell Zhang Liang their stories, and how many people wanted him to preach and solve his confusion? Now he is not only going to retire, but as soon as the door is closed, I will not go out. This kind of self-setting a lower limit for oneself is sometimes more difficult than being caught in jail. Even if it is a marquis of ten thousand households, what is there to be cool about? You can't get out of the gate, and you don't let others in.

Second, the people around you do not promise you to retire. Why is it so hard to retreat from the rapids? It's hard to keep people around. There must always be a little person in the family, there is a wife, there are several second-class children, and even some seven aunts and eight aunts, and some relatives; Even if there are no relatives in Zhejiang, there is always a driver, a nanny, a secretary, and maybe even more than one secretary.

You think about it, these immediate family members around you, collateral relatives, these people who have served you and followed you for many years, as well as your core team, your direct subordinates, your subordinates' subordinates, you have such a large number of social relationships, these century-old people must not want you to stay closed, must hope that the greater your power, the better, the bigger the name, the better, and the more benefits the better. In this way, the more benefits they can get, some directly from you, some from your relationship, and under your influence, he will look elsewhere. Many big brothers with status, they have enough wisdom, they want to protect their lives and retreat bravely, but the people around them do not agree, and continue to stand in their original positions under the influence of the people around them.

People you offended in the past will get you in trouble. Riding on a tiger, others see that they have the right to be famous and profitable, and they dare not come to mess with me. If you think about Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, any person who is extremely powerful, and even some domineering presidents now, people who are the first, second, and third leaders of the company, this way, must have sinned many people, blocked some people's financial path, and blocked some people's power road. Offending so many people also means that quite a few people hate them. When they are powerful, rich and famous, others are afraid to come looking for trouble; Once he gets off the back of the tiger, the torrent will retreat, and more and more people may want to find his fault. At that time, don't say that he still does it, his immediate family, his seven aunts and eight aunts, his team, he can't protect it, and his own life and property safety may not be guaranteed. To sum up, I think you may understand more or less why it is so difficult to retreat from the rapids.

How Sima Guang viewed Zhang Liang. Sima Guang said that people must die when they are born, just as there will be day when there is night, and there will be night when there is day, and this has been the case since ancient times, and I have never seen such a person who is really immortal. Once in the position of Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Xiao He. It has become so many things, success is a lifelong practice, management is a lifelong routine. You're in this state, and you're going to have to and naturally go with the rhythm, constantly wanting to use your energy, your ingenuity, to get things done.

Remember, to the top of the lonely peak, there is no way up; One step further than the head of the 100-foot pole, what else is on the head of the 100-foot pole? If you think about taking another step, then the bottom can only be the void, or even fall into the cliff.

What Han Gaozu said and boasted about was nothing more than these three masters - what Han Gaozu ancestor Liu Bang said and boasted was nothing more than these three masters - Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, Han Xin's final end was to be killed, and Xiao He's end was to go to prison. The reason why Han Xin and Xiao He are like this is not because they have lived too much, gained so much, become so many things, and want to continue to do it; I didn't realize that it was already on the top of a lonely peak, it was already a hundred feet, and there was no way up.

Sima Guang said that Zhang Liang is such a smart person, who regards merit and fame and fortune as things outside his body, but he seeks to protect his body, I have wisdom, and I protect my body in the world.

Fifth, how can we achieve the rapids to retreat?

First, fame and fortune can bring huge risks. Realize that these things that you have achieved because of these things you have accomplished, and these merits and fortunes that you have gained because of these things that you have accomplished, will all be lost. The first thing is all outside the body.

After taking up too much fame and fortune, it is a huge risk for yourself. Good things, others want, you want, you like, others like, why do you have and others don't? Yes, you have the credit, but now we can also hide behind the shadows and get you. Know that these good things are things outside the body, and do not bring them in life, and do not bring them in death; Also know that these good things, and may also be things that cause trouble to you, may cause trouble to you during your lifetime.

Second, develop a time-consuming hobby. Don't say that you resigned, and then use your past savings to itch hundreds of customers, and eat with some non-people every day, drink, chat, make some things, organize a point, that is not called the torrent of brave retreat, not called Mingzhe to save his life, that is called secretly crossing Chen Cang, splitting your thunder will come to you sooner.

You are disarmed and returned to the field, but time has to pass. Cultivate a hobby, preferably with the people around you — people who are willing to quit. For example, go to research some cold knowledge, learn foreign languages.

Well, after today's speech, after Zhang Liang withdrew from the power center, the contradictions between Liu Bang and other heroes began to appear. In the next story, Han Xin gets an opportunity to change his tragic ending, but Han Xin does not seize it. Why didn't Han Xin seize the last opportunity and fail to become the hegemon of one side? Didn't let yourself retreat? What exactly is Hanxin missing? And listen to the next explanation.

Everyone thinks you have gained a lot, please give it a thumbs up.
