Reading History Wisely: The King Who Was Run Away Because of The Silence - The Profound Lesson of King Zhou Li

King Li of Zhou was a tyrant in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the history books record that he was "tyrannical and arrogant", and when the chancellor summoned him to tell him that the common people had a lot of complaints about his tyranny, he not only did not listen, but also specially sent soldiers to the streets to monitor the people, and if there were any complainers, they were killed. So the people did not dare to speak, but could only communicate with their eyes and eyes.

King Zhou Li happily told Zhao Gong that he could make the people shut up and not dare to complain. In this regard, Zhao Gong said worriedly: "The mouth of the people is better than the defense of sichuan." When the waters are destroyed, many will be hurt, and so will the people. It is for this reason that those who are water are determined to guide, and those who are for the people are proclaimed. "In the eyes of the summoning father, blocking the mouths of the people and preventing them from speaking is more dangerous than preventing floods." Floods accumulate too much and the dams will collapse, hurting many people, and not keeping the people from speaking. Therefore, those who are good at controlling water will divert the flow, and the ruler who is good at governing the people will let the people speak.

The Chinese rioted

Unfortunately, King Li of Zhou did not listen to the advice of the Summoning Father and continued to do his own thing. Later, the common people really couldn't stand it, and a riot broke out among the people, took up arms, ran to the palace, and beat King Zhou Li and fled.

Read history wisely. We do things as people, especially as leaders, we should listen more to the opinions and demands of others and subordinates, and we cannot engage in a word hall and do not let people speak, so that we will only accumulate contradictions, and we will definitely suffer the consequences after a long time!
