A wit of power
1. Confucius, who was highly respected and respected, on the one hand, made an alliance with the rebellious uncle clan under the city, and on the other hand, he violated his oath and went to defend the country. In fact, Confucius was a saint who only had the right to change. The alliance under the city is forced by the dangerous situation; the violation of the alliance under the city is the principle of justice. Isn't it legitimate to be honest with good people, and isn't it better to be honest with evil people and to feed the wolves and add wings to the tigers? Confucius once said, "Man does not stand without faith." "It means that if you are untrustworthy in people and do not talk about credit, everything will not succeed." If the government is not honest, the relationship between the government and the people will be in deep trouble, social contradictions will intensify, and class struggle will intensify; if businessmen are dishonest, they will use falsehood and chaos to harm consumers; friends who are dishonest will be selfish, self-centered, and have a small belly. It can be seen that honesty and trustworthiness is a powerful spiritual driving force. In real life, people's words and deeds must adhere to the basic principle of honesty and trustworthiness at all times.
2. All persons are equal before the law. In the face of the law, the key to judging whether things are right or wrong and whether they violate the law is whether there is evidence. When trying and judging a case, caution should be exercised and no use of punishment should be used to extract confessions.
All countries in the world have recognized the role of confessions to a certain extent, not completely denying them. In the West, some cases, such as plea bargaining cases, admit confessions, but the premise is that the criminal suspects and defendants are voluntary. China's law stipulates that confession is a kind of evidence, and it is strictly forbidden to extort confessions by torture, and it is opposed to forcing criminal suspects or defendants to make confessions. However, in the actual handling of cases, extorting confessions by torture has become a stubborn disease, which is mainly due to historical reasons, but also practical reasons, such as insufficient scientific and technological strength in handling cases, and the urgent time for cracking cases, so great efforts must be made to solve them.
3. Taizu was very aware of the plot of the two sons to kill him, but he did not expose it on the spot and start a direct conflict, because in his opinion, the two sons were not feathered, and the king of Chuyang also had feelings for himself, and he was jealous of rats; but not going to the banquet was not a way, hiding from the first one, hiding from the fifteen, and had to overcome people with wisdom. Therefore, he went happily, created illusions, paralyzed the consciousness of the murderer, and suddenly pretended to be a ghost to strengthen the heart of the thief, and when the opponent had not yet reflected, he first showed the bottom card, which caught the opponent off guard. As a result, the opponent had to admit his criminal behavior in a hurry, and the afterglow grew, and he did not dare to have evil intentions in the future, which can really be described as "curing the symptoms and curing the root causes".
This shows that "soldiers are not tired of deception" and must be good at grasping the suddenness between the virtual and the real, the true and the false, which catches people off guard. People who use wisdom must not only often release smoke bombs and make false masks, but also be able to personally act on stage, with strong dramatic mutations to control the other party's intentional or unintentional exposure of the horse's feet, completely surrendered.
4. Know to refuse to do something when appropriate. One of the biggest lessons of life is to know how to refuse, and one of the most important rejections is to refuse to do something for yourself or to refuse to do something for others. Some activities are not too important and waste precious time. And the worse thing is to be busy with something trivial, which is worse than doing nothing. Be really careful and don't have too much sense of belonging to others, otherwise you will make yourself not belong to yourself. You don't abuse your friendship and don't ask your friends for things they don't want to give. It's a harm to be too late, especially when dealing with others. As long as you can be moderate and moderate, you will always be favored and respected by others. Being reasonable and disciplined is precious, and it will benefit you forever. You must have the freedom to care for the perfect thing, and never waste your own tasteful taste. But, more importantly, understand the art of rejection. Sometimes, when you are very reluctant and very eager to refuse something, think twice. If your refusal may cause more unnecessary conflicts or controversies, you can take a euphemistic compromise approach, first give the other party a step, follow the other party's meaning, and then express your true thoughts when the time is ripe. In this way, not only give the other party face, but also give yourself a buffer space, which is much better than direct frontal conflict.
5. The warriors of the Jin Dynasty captured the king of the State of Zheng, thinking that zheng would surrender, but the State of Zheng preferred to establish a new king; the "change of Tumu Fort" also captured Emperor Yingzong first, but Yu Qian established Jingzong as the new emperor; if the Song army lost, Zhenzong advocated the establishment of another prince as emperor; Xiang Yu cooked Liu Bang's father, but Liu Bang said please share a cup of meat soup with him. And so on, are a way to solve the contradictions of things.
This method requires that in the process of understanding and transforming the world, we must handle all kinds of contradictions according to the characteristics of things, adhere to the combination of principle and flexibility, and adopt different methods in order to achieve the purpose of resolving contradictions.
6. In ancient times, generals often used methods of fooling and deceiving their subordinates and soldiers to prevent them from understanding the military plan, and then they were afraid of being afraid and lost the confidence and determination to continue the struggle. However, the means of deception and deception are diverse, of which pretending to be ghosts and gods is one of the most important, because the ancient soldiers went out to fight out of necessity. Coupled with cultural backwardness, superstition of ghosts and gods, belief in the Mandate of Heaven and other reasons, so once the so-called bad omen or other unfavorable conditions appear, soldiers in the army are prone to morale collapse and surrender without fighting. The road in Guilin was dangerous, the combat tasks were arduous, and the army was confused and unstable, so Di Qing borrowed god to boost morale and strengthen everyone's confidence.
In real life, it is not a metaphor for everyone to pretend that ghosts and gods are feudal superstitions to get through difficulties, but it means that when encountering difficulties and setbacks, we must strengthen our convictions, persistently move forward, believe in ourselves, overcome ourselves, give full play to and tap the potential of individuals and teams, have conditions, create conditions without conditions, give play to subjective initiative, strive to overcome difficulties, transform the objective world, and achieve the ultimate goal.
7. There are many things in the world that do not seem unreasonable on the surface, and when the day is at its longest, it will become shorter in turn, and at the shortest time, it will become longer in turn, which is the law of nature. If someone knows that what is reasonable on the surface is actually paradoxical, and what is superficially paradoxical is actually reasonable, then he will know the law of the development and change of things and the wisdom of the people behind the law. Therefore, when we understand and look at things, we must use the vision of linking development and in-depth analysis in order to truly understand the law of the development and change of things and grasp the initiative of the development and change of things.
Here, wisdom is individual, a means and a skill that can be used for all purposes and in all situations. The weak can rely on it to protect themselves, and the strong can rely on it to eliminate evil and promote good.
8. Some people with lofty ambitions will always lament that life is not timely and bad luck, but birth is something that individuals cannot choose, and difficulties and setbacks are unavoidable for individuals, and they all have great contingencies. That being the case, instead of basking in sighs and complaining, it is better to save yourself. Fighting wit is more challenging than fighting power. When problems arise, we must learn to make overall arrangements, make comprehensive analysis, take the initiative, change from passive to active, combine principle with flexibility, rely on wisdom to fully tap the potential of individuals, appropriately use external factors, transform external forces into internal forces for the development of things, merge different streams, and do not follow the tide, so that we can turn ourselves into dangers and smoothly tide over difficulties.
9. Wang Yi and Sheng Ruiyu commented on this matter, saying: This is a person who is clever by nature, proceeding from the interests of the people and using the means of hiding to properly handle an urgent matter, which not only solves the urgent need, but also saves a lot of money, and the method is a "slow" word. In order to slow down the deception and deliberately demonstrate that the horse is not allowed, this is an action that requires courage, and the result is that the fact that the horse dealer has come from afar and cannot feed the living mouth is exposed, but the buyer with the right to buy is in the upper hand, and the long is used to control the short, showing a high level of strategic art. The use of the art of "hiding" here in commerce and trade, in today's terms, is to guide and control the relationship between buyers and sellers who seek to buy and sell, creating the illusion of a buyer's market, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the interests of buyers, and Chen Zhifu himself has been able to smoothly make a heavy task of losing horses.
10. The key to this calculation is the "false way". Good at finding excuses for "false roads", good at hiding the true intentions of "false roads", highlighting strange soldiers, often can win.
Things always revolve around certain interests, so the application of the strategy of "profit and inducement" is not uncommon in the course of combat. Similarly, in real life, this strategy is also widely used by people in various fields. But the use of this strategy is conditional, and it is possible to deceive the greedy; for those who are not greedy or foolish, it is difficult to work.
11. The so-called "killing chickens and making monkeys" and "killing one hundred people" have the meaning of threatening and intimidating, which is a power trick and a means to control the masses. The implementation of the decree must rely on harsh means. If the army does not have iron discipline, it cannot be ordered and prohibited, and it will not have combat effectiveness. In the same way, discipline should be selfless, punishment should not be avoided, and deeds should not be feared, so that the law can be authoritative and the order can be appealing.
In managing modern enterprises and institutions, it is also necessary to have strict discipline and a style of doing what is ordered and what is done in the management of the army. In the process of enforcing discipline, it is necessary to treat all people equally, be open, fair and just, not affected by personal factors, and not emotional. To serve as a police officer is to maintain order and discipline in enterprises and society.
On the other hand, in the process of using the power of "killing one to make an example", this story cleverly pretends to be a signboard for the public by pretending to be a dead prisoner, which can be described as painstaking. This also enlightens us that in the process of applying the right technique, we need to analyze specific problems, adapt to changes, and flexibly use the right technique to truly achieve good results.
12. Ancient Chinese society was a hierarchical society, reflected in the relationship between monarchs and subjects, that is, the upper and lower levels were suspicious of each other, guarded against each other, conspired against each other, and deceived each other. In the upper, if you are not careful, it is easy to be hit by the rumors of your subordinates or others, and fall off the horse; at worst, you are murdered like Sun Ce and Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms era.
13. Cheng Bao and Gongsun Pestle using a typical "package adjustment meter" to deceive opponents with fake targets to protect the safety of what is really to be preserved. The key to the success of this strategy is to make the opponent believe in false goals. As long as Cheng Baby and others want to preserve the Zhao orphans, the substitutes can only be real babies, and they must pay a price that ordinary people cannot imagine if they want to succeed. This requires not only wisdom and courage, but also loyalty and self-sacrifice.
14. To provoke the enemy, we can know their laws of action; to lure the enemy with illusions, we can know whether they occupy favorable terrain and engage in tentative battles, and we can know the strength and weakness of the enemy. What is being said here is that tentative activities should be carried out in combat in order to ascertain the enemy's falsehood and to ascertain the enemy's movements. The strategy of "throwing stones and asking for directions" vividly and vividly expresses the above-mentioned military thinking.
The meaning of "throwing stones to ask for directions" is very simple, and its use is also very common, both benign and malicious. Clowns can use jumping beams to climb over walls, generals can use to explore camps and rob villages, politicians can use to cross the border, merchants can use to understand the market, literati can use to brag about Denglong... In short, "throwing stones" is to test movement; "asking for directions" is to decide action.
15. For some villains who have gained favor for a while by engaging in conspiracies and tricks, it is not the best policy to tolerate submission after all. It is better to humiliate him in public, as Ai Ang did to Zhao Tan and Wen Taizhen to Qian Feng, to dispel his prestige, or to expose his conspiracy. This takes a certain amount of risk, but it can often turn passive into proactive. "Peace is precious" is a survival strategy, and if necessary, "fighting a fight" is also a survival philosophy, depending on what kind of environment you are in.
16. One of the thirty-six counts is "false delusion". The original meaning is that it is better to pretend not to know and not act on it than to pretend to know and act rashly. Be calm and calm, and not reveal your true motives, just like thunder hiding behind clouds and thunder, not revealing yourself.
Sima Yi, Yang Xingmi, Sun Jian and others in the story all pretended to be ill, so that the opponent relaxed his vigilance, took it lightly, lifted his guard, and then took advantage of his lack of preparation to attack suddenly, all of which produced strange effects. Therefore, Zheng Banqiao once famously said: "It is difficult to be smart, it is difficult to be confused, and it is even more difficult to turn from smart to confused." "When the situation is not good for you, in order to save yourself, it is not difficult to think of pretending to be deaf and dumb, what is difficult is to pretend to be real, pretend to be like, and once the time is ripe, it will rain on your hands." In modern society, the "false delusion is not epilepsy" scheme is often used in commercial operations in order to cover up their own attempts, often using false delusions to confuse everyone, preferring to show no action, smart pretending to be confused, not doing nothing to show what to do, and confusing to pretend to be smart.
17. "Judging the hour and sizing up the situation" is an important quality of clever argumentation, and only by discerning the environment and seeing the timing can we make our own plans receive the best results. It is often said that "good men do not eat the immediate losses", if the current situation is not conducive to themselves, they must be patient and restrained, waiting for the best time, and making up their minds in one fell swoop.
Yang Xuan is a craftsman, and in order to defeat the cunning and noble Menda, only courage is still far from enough, he must fight wits and courage, calm and calm in an unfavorable environment, and find ways to induce Menda to dig his own grave and create the most favorable opportunity to expose his crimes. Only in the end can the innocent be justified and the guilty be brought to justice.
18. As long as everything is targeted, it will have an immediate effect. Otherwise, the opposite direction and the round heel of the square handle will be counterproductive. When Huang Rong could not continue to walk because of the wind and cold, and begged for a temporary stop by bribing the dental school, but still did not get the permission of the dental school, Zong Rulin was able to keep the dental school to live, and the key was that Zong Rulin did what he liked in the dental school. Committing adultery is a magic weapon, and this magic weapon is particularly effective for the weak will. When the chancellor Hong Chengzu was captured by the Qing army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when he once flaunted his indomitable integrity and had to be martyred for the country, the emperor Taiji threw himself into adultery and used the fragrant concubines who poured out of the country as bait, and within a night, Hong Chengzu obediently surrendered.
19. Many diseases are caused by psychological factors. Therefore, some smart doctors can often supplement drug treatment with psychological treatment: or some do not need any drug treatment at all, just verbal implications.
The difference between man and animal is that man has thoughts. Originally there was no disease, or there was no problem at all, because of people's suspicions, the cup bow snake shadow, over time became a heart disease. "To untie the bell, you also need to tie the bell", so the use of psychological skills to solve difficult problems has become a research topic for many people.
