If you can tolerate such people around, success or less mistakes depend on! This is not only for leaders, but also for ordinary people. However, for the big leaders, the degree of benefit is more obvious. Folk proverb: Bitter mouth is good for the disease, and loyal words are good for the ear. Tang Taizong's "People with copper as a mirror can wear a crown; with the ancient as a mirror, they can know the rise and fall; with people as a mirror, they can know gains and losses." Wei Zheng is gone, and he has died in a mirror! Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng, the good story of "cats" and "mice", can be described as well-known to everyone, women and children. There are many similar good stories in history, and here are two pairs, namely, Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Yan of Han and Emperor Wu of Jin and Liu Yi, two people who are as tolerant as Tang Taizong, who have made fewer mistakes.
One
Emperor Huan of Han, who was proud of the spring breeze, once asked Shi Zhong and Chen Liuren Yan in a gentle tone, "What kind of monarch am I?" According to the custom, what was naturally obtained was the icing on the cake praise response, but Yan Yan did not climb up the trend like this, but replied without humility: "Among the monarchs of the Han Dynasty, His Majesty belongs to the middle." Emperor Huan knew in his heart what kind of person Yan Yan was, so he calmly asked, "Why do you say that?" Yan Yan replied: "Shang Shu made the country governed when Chen Fan was in charge, and the country was in chaos when Zhongchang served Huangmen in political affairs. Therefore, they can assist Your Majesty in doing good to you, and they can also assist you in doing evil. ”
Yan Yan was not a historian, but he expressed his opinion with the sharp eyes and fair position of a historian. Emperor Huan did not commit "big head disease" because he was a big leader, and once again calmly heard his heart.
Yan Yan, the word Ji Ping. He is studious and can teach through the scriptures. Emperor Huan Shizheng, Tai wei Yang Bing, and others held xianliang, and Yan Yan successively served as a waiter, a general in the five senses, a lieutenant in Changshui, a taishou of Wei County, and a great hongqi. Later, due to illness, he resigned and returned home. The Spirit Emperor summoned again, no, sick and dead. Zi Yanji, the Order of Baima County, is also known as a good soldier.
Two
On the first day of the first lunar month in 282 AD, Emperor Wu of Jin personally went to the southern suburbs to make sacrifices. The grand ceremony ended successfully, and Emperor Wu of Jin, who was not without emotion, asked Liu Yi, a lieutenant colonel, and said, "Which emperor of the Han Dynasty can I compare with?" Emperor Wu of Jin, who floated up, wanted to hear the praises of his courtiers the most at this time, however, Liu Yi did not give any face, and was greeted by a basin of cold water, replying: "Compared with Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling." Emperor Wu of Jin, who was extremely dissatisfied, said, "Why did you get to this point?" Liu Yi said: "The money from Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling's betrayal of their official posts has gone into the warehouses of the official palace, and the money from His Majesty's betrayal of official posts has entered the door of his personal home. ”
The dumb and speechless Emperor Wu of Jin also had his own cleverness, but he followed the words of his courtiers, delivered a very artistic speech, pulled himself up, and laughed: "In the era of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, I could not hear such words, and now I have upright subordinates, who have already surpassed Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling." ”
Liu Yi, zi Zhongxiong, a native of Ye County, Donglai County. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, he was a famous courtier, and the son of Liu Zhao (喈) was a vassal of Liu Zhao. There are few filial pieties, discipline and integrity, and filial piety and honesty. During the Cao Wei period, he was elected as Pingyang Gong Cao, later granted YuZhou to engage, and later served as Dr. Taichang and Xiangguo Master. Emperor Wu of Jin ascended the throne, successively serving as Shang Shulang (尚書郎), Du Du (驸馬都尉), Sanqi Changshi (散骑常侍), Guozi (国子祭酒), Chengmen (城校尉), Tai shuqing (太仆卿), and Shangshu (尚書), and was once dismissed from his post for reasons. Xianning for four years, as a lieutenant colonel, JingShi Solemn, tired of the left servant shooting, Guanglu Dafu, Qingzhou Dazhongzheng. Taikang died of illness in the sixth year, and was given the gift of Yi Tongsan division.
Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Wu of Jin were both great leaders, but their respective achievements were not on the same platform. If he had artificially lined up and eaten fruits, Tang Taizong should have been among the first-class, and he would have thrown out Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Wu of Jin several streets.
Zhuge Liang once sighed: "When the former emperor was there, whenever he discussed this matter with his subjects, he did not hesitate to sigh and hate Huan and Lingye. "When Emperor Huan ascended to the throne, he put the country aside with all his heart, and only wanted to cultivate his own power and sit firmly. Emperor Wu of Jin reigned for more than twenty years, and began well, but in his later years he was in chaos, betraying officials and knights, extravagant and corrupt, and having nearly 10,000 concubines in the palace, and as a result, the whole country went up and down, the officials ignored political affairs, and it became a common practice to show off wealth and fight for wealth, laying the foundation for the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" after his death.
Then again, Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Wu of Jin still had their own strengths, and they were able to live their lives safely and smoothly in the chaotic world, which was still comparable to Tang Taizong's ability to listen to Wei Zheng and be able to take advice and introspect. Otherwise, he would have been knocked to the ground by others. Emperor Wu of Jin had "Taikang Prosperity", which was as glamorous as Tang Taizong's "Rule of Zhenguan". Emperor Huan of Han killed the powerful minister Liang Ji, from a young puppet emperor to a real emperor in power, and when he grabbed power, he still had two brushes.
It is a pity that the talents of Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Wu of Jin can be used in the right place, and the characters of Yan Yan and Liu Yi around them are too few and not strong enough to be as strong as Wei Zheng. But people in short are old, Wei Zheng is strong, after leaving, Tang Taizong also has changes, that mirror is after all changed shape and taste, the inner "mouse" is no longer afraid of the outside "cat". The dialectical relationship between internal and external factors is both simple and complex, especially in those in power, and it is always a matter that cannot be learned and used up.
