Things have nature, and things have separation.What is near is invisible, and what is far is known.Those who are near but not visible, do not understand their words; those who are far away but can be seen, are actually tested by experience.
The scorpion is also the scorpion.The crevice is also the stream.Those who are in the stream will form a big gap.From the beginning of the fawn, there was me. If you can reach it, you can fortify it. If you can reach it, you can stop it. If you can reach it, you can rest.

The development of everything in the world follows the laws of nature, and everything in the world also develops and changes according to the laws of separation, reunion, reunion, and separation.Some things, although they are close at hand, do not understand each other and cannot be seen clearly; some things, although they are far away, are well understood.If you are close at hand but don't understand it, it is because you haven't investigated the situation in detail and analyzed its words; if you are far away, you know it well, because you can infer the future development situation by looking back at the laws and processes of its past development.
The so-called 鞻 is a crevice, and a crevice is also a ravine, which becomes a big gap after a long time. only to varying degrees).When it first happens, there are signs to look for.If there is a gap inside, you can block it from the inside to make it disappear; if it appears from the outside, you can shrink it from the outside, so as to slowly repel it; if it appears from the lower layer, you can calm it down from below; when this kind of When the symptoms are in the bud, you can start from the top and let them gradually disappear; if the gap has expanded to the point where it cannot be blocked or cured, you can discard the old and replace it with a new one, and take the opportunity to replace it with an appropriate method.These are the principles of the art of resisting birds.

Zou Ji set up a trap and chased Tian Ji
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Qi Wei was famous for his intelligence and intelligence.But sometimes you can't help being confused, falling into other people's tricks, and driving fish for the deep.
At that time, Zou Ji was the chancellor and Tian Ji was the general, and the two were at odds, jealous of each other, and quarreled endlessly.Later, a man named Gongsun Yue gave Zou Ji an idea.Gongsun Yue said:
"My lord, why don't you suggest to the King of Qi to crusade against Wei? If you win, it's because of your brilliant plan, you can receive a reward; if you lose, it's because of Tian Ji's ineffective command and unwillingness to give up his life. Even if he doesn't die on the battlefield, you can find someone else." Get rid of him."
Zou Ji thought this idea was very clever, so he persuaded King Qi Wei to crusade against Wei.
Therefore, Tian Ji supervised the attack on Wei, and won three battles and three victories.Zou Ji was displeased, so he went to Gongsun Yue for advice.
Gongsun Yue then sent someone to carry 200 taels of gold to the busy market for divination, and said to the divination:
"I am the person sent by Tian Ji. The general has three victories and three victories. He is powerful in the world. He wants to overthrow the king of Qi and think himself king. Sir, please calculate the prospects?"
After the people sent by Gongsun Yue left, Zou Ji immediately informed King Qi Wei.King Qi Wei arrested the diviner for interrogation, and it was true.The ironclad evidence was so strong that Tian Ji had no choice but to abandon his job and flee to other countries.
After Tian Ji escaped from Qi State, he came to Chu State.Zou Ji monopolized the power and gained more power, but he was worried that Tian Ji would use the power of Chu State to return to Qi State to rule, and he felt uneasy.
Du He said to him: "My lord, don't worry, I will make Tian Ji stay in Chu."
So Du He went south to the state of Chu and said to the king of Chu:
"The reason why Zou Ji of Qi hates Chu is because he is worried that Tian Ji will use the power of Chu to make a comeback. Your Majesty, why don't you seal Tian Ji in Jiangnan and tell Zou Ji that Tian Ji will never return to Qi? In this way, Zou Ji will He is good-neighborly and friendly with the state of Chu, and lives in harmony. Besides, Tian Ji fled to the state of Chu and obtained the fiefdom in the south of the Yangtze River. He must be grateful to the king. If he has the opportunity to return to the country in the future, he will do his best to repay the king. This is the strategy of killing two birds with one stone. Zou Ji is also used by the king."
The king of Chu nodded in agreement, and sealed Tian Ji in the south of the Yangtze River.
[Comment and Analysis]
Zou Ji and Tian Ji had a "bird", so Gongsun Yue and Du He advised Zou Ji and tried every means to expel Tian Ji, using the method of "arriving and getting it".The final result not only expelled Tian Ji from Qi, but also prevented him from being reused in Chu, so that Tian Ji had no chance to make a comeback.
Wang Yun and Gou Jian cleverly set up a beauty trick
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian ascended the throne at the age of 9. Because he was young and ignorant, the power of the court was controlled by Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo was insidious and cunning, often killed innocent people indiscriminately, and had ambitions to usurp the throne.The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty both hated and feared Dong Zhuo, dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Wang Yun, who worshiped Situ as an official, was very worried. If such a traitor had appeared in the court, if he was not eradicated, the power of the Han Dynasty might be in danger.But Dong Zhuo is very powerful, and there are countless generals around him, so he must not be his opponent in a frontal attack.Later, Wang Yun learned that there was a brave general named Lv Bu beside Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo recognized him as his adopted son and loyally protected Dong Zhuo.After observation, Wang Yun found that the "father and son" had a common weakness, that they were both lustful.So they wanted to use the "beauty trick" to let their father and son kill each other to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
There is a singer named Diao Chan in Wang Yun's mansion. She is not only beautiful, but also very talented.When Wang Yun proposed to Diao Chan a plan to kill Dong Zhuo with a beauty trick, Diao Chan, who understood the righteousness, decided to sacrifice herself to eliminate harm for the court in order to thank Wang Yun for his kindness in nurturing her.
At a banquet for Lu Bu, Wang Yun offered to betroth his goddaughter Diao Chan to Lu Bu.Lu Bu was very happy to see such a beautiful woman, and he was very grateful to Wang Yun.
The next day, Wang Yun invited Dong Zhuo to his house again, and during the banquet, he summoned Diao Chan to perform a dance for Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo couldn't help salivating when he saw Diao Chan's beauty.Seeing the opportunity, Wang Yun said: "If the grand master likes it, I will give the singer in front of me to the grand master." Dong Zhuo pretended to give way, and then happily brought Diao Chan back to the mansion.
Lü Bu was furious when he found out about this, and asked Wang Yun face to face why he turned his back on what he said. Wang Yun made up a lie to coax Lv Bu, saying: "The grand master said that the purpose of coming this time is to see his daughter-in-law. How dare I disobey his order?" The grand master also said that he would choose an auspicious day to marry you, so he decided to bring Diao Chan back to the mansion to marry the general."
Lu Bu believed it was true, so he waited in the mansion for Dong Zhuo to arrange the marriage for him.But after a few days, there was still no movement. Anxious Lv Bu found out after inquiring that Dong Zhuo actually took Diao Chan as his own.
One day when Dong Zhuo went to the court, he found that Lu Bu was not around, and he was suspicious, so he hurried back to the mansion, and happened to see Lu Bu and Diaochan talking and laughing together in the Fengyi Pavilion in the back garden.He was furious and stabbed at Lu Bu with his halberd.Lu Bu dodged and dodged.Lu Bu left Taishi's mansion angrily, and scolded Dong Zhuo for his face and animal heart, breaking him and Diaochan apart.In fact, Lu Bu and Diao Chan's private date was also Diao Chan's plan to act according to Wang Yun's plan to drive a wedge between their father and son.
Seeing that the time was right, Wang Yun invited Lu Bu to the secret room of his home again to discuss.Wang Yun scolded Dong Zhuo for taking away his daughter and Lu Bu's wife, which is really hateful.Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said: "It's not because of our father-son relationship, I must kill him!" Wang Yun hurriedly said: "The general's words are wrong. Your surname is Lu and his surname is Dong. How can you say they are father and son?" What about it? Besides, he has taken over your wife and wants to assassinate you with a halberd, so how can there be any father-son relationship?" Lu Bu said, "Thank you, Lord Situ, for your timely reminder. If I don't kill the old thief, I will not be a human being!"
Wang Yun saw that Lv Bu had been persuaded by himself, so he immediately passed the imperial decree and summoned Dong Zhuo to the court to accept Zen in the name of the emperor.Dong Zhuo didn't know what it was, and went into the palace to receive Zen in a show of power. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the palace gate, Lu Bu pierced his throat with a halberd.The traitor was eliminated, and everyone inside and outside the court clapped their hands and praised Wang Yun and Lu Bu's merits.
There are many applications of beauty tricks in history. Another successful example is that Gou Jian used Xi Shi to drive a wedge between Wu Wang Fucha and Wu Zixu.
In 496 BC, King Yunchang of Yue died, and Gou Jian succeeded to the throne.King Helu of Wu refused to listen to Wu Zixu's dissuasion, and took advantage of the funeral of Yue State to send troops to attack Yue State.During the battle, King Helu of Wu was wounded in his right foot and died within a few days after returning to Wu.His son Fuchai inherited the throne of King Wu, and he was determined to avenge his father.
In 494 BC, King Fuchai of Wu sent troops to attack the State of Yue. Gou Jian was besieged in Kuaiji Mountain and was forced to make peace with King Wu, expressing his willingness to be the obedient subject of King Wu.As hostages, Goujian and his wife carefully served the King of Wu in the State of Wu. After suffering all kinds of humiliation, they won the trust of the King of Wu and were pardoned and returned to the State of Yue three years later.
After Gou Jian returned to Yue State, he tried his best to avenge his shame and return to the country.Goujian and Wenzhong discussed the plan of revenge, and Wenzhong presented Goujian with seven strategies to break through, the third of which was the beauty trap.In order to implement the beauty trick, Fan Li, a doctor of the Yue Kingdom, found Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, beauties who understood righteousness, and gave them to Fu Chai.
Xishi is not only beautiful in appearance, but also good at singing and dancing. She has outstanding talents, and soon got Fucha's favor, and Fucha obeyed Xishi's words.Therefore, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan tried their best to provoke the relationship between Fu Chai, the king of Wu, and Wu Zixu, the important minister, and killed the resourceful Wu Zixu with the help of Fu Chai, which greatly weakened the power of Wu.
In 473 B.C., Goujian, king of Yue, led a large force to attack the state of Wu and surrounded Fuchai.Fu Chai was forced to commit suicide, Yue won a complete victory, and soon became the hegemony of one side, becoming one of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.
[Comment and Analysis]
Judging from the use of the art of resisting the scorpion, the beauty trick is used based on the "smelt" of the target itself (that is, the weakness of Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Wu Wang Fuchai who are all lustful), and then uses the beauty to create new ones. The "鞻" (that is, to separate the father-son relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and the relationship between Fucha and Wu Zixu as monarch and minister).The cleverness of the use of beauty tricks is to create new "birds" and kill people with a knife to achieve their own goals, thus saving a lot of trouble.
Judging from the effects of the above two beauty tricks, Wang Yun directly achieved his expected goal, and used Lu Bu's hand to get rid of Dong Zhuo; Gou Jian only used Xi Shi to get rid of Wu Zixu who was next to Fu Chai, weakening the power of Wu. In terms of strength, its level of sophistication is slightly inferior to that of Wang Yun.
Sow dissension to protect the state of Chu
During the Warring States Period, Qin and South Korea fought in Heze, and South Korea lost consecutively, and the situation was critical.
The doctor Gong Zhong suggested to the King of Han: "Our army is far inferior to that of Qin State. Now we have no backup inside and no rescue outside. We are at the critical moment of life and death. Now Qin State intends to attack Chu State instead of our country. It is better to use Zhang Yi Talk to Qin, give Qin a famous city, and ask him to attack Chu together. Qin will not be with me, and it is profitable, so I will definitely agree. This will not only preserve our country, but also destroy the powerful enemy Chu. This is killing two birds with one stone. .”
The king of Han agreed, so he announced to the outside world that Gong Zhong would go west to Qin to discuss peace.When the king of Chu heard that South Korea was going to reconcile with Qin, he was very frightened, so he summoned Chen Zhen and asked him what to do.
Chen Zhen said: "Qin State has wanted to attack Chu State for a long time, and now it has a famous city in South Korea, and then goes south with South Korea. This is what Qin State dreams of! Chu State will definitely be attacked by the two countries."
The King of Chu nodded and said, "Yes. A Qin country is already unstoppable, plus South Korea, don't we want to perish?"
Chen Zhen hurriedly said: "I have a solution. Your Majesty can select troops from the country and claim to save Han. The more people who know, the better. Then he will order soldiers to fill the roads with chariots, and send envoys with enough belongings to send The King of Han believed that the King of Chu was his ally and would definitely save him. Even if he could not do so, South Korea would be grateful to you and would not come to attack Chu. It is possible to turn against each other, and a state of Qin cannot cause any major harm to our country; if, as I wish, South Korea accepts our gift and expresses its closeness, then Qin will be furious when it finds out, and the two countries will forge grievances , The conflict between them is beneficial to us. This is my plan to rely on the soldiers of Qin and Han to avoid the disaster of Chu State."
The king of Chu was overjoyed after hearing this, so he selected people in the country, declared to save Han, and sent envoys to send a lot of property to South Korea.King Han was overjoyed, so he prevented Gong Zhong from going to Qin.Gong Zhong persuaded King Han to say: "You can't do this. Qin State told us the truth, but Chu State is lying. If you believe Chu State's lies and break up with Qin State easily, you will definitely be retaliated by Qin State. Besides, Chu and Han are not brothers. The country is not an ally, and there is no agreement to crusade against Qin. Only when Qin wanted to crusade against Chu, Chu sent troops to save Han. This must be Chen Zhen's scheme. Please don't fall into Chu's treacherous scheme. !"
The king of Han did not listen to his father-in-law, and severed relations with Qin.Qin State was furious and sent more troops to attack South Korea, but the reinforcements from Chu State did not arrive, and South Korea was defeated.
[Comment and Analysis]
The use of the technique of resisting the bird is not uncommon in the military, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.The above allusion is an example obtained by calculating distance.If you can see the mutual interests of other countries, you can use the divorce plan to stir up disputes between the two sides, while you can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight for the benefit of the fisherman. The above story is a famous example of the successful use of the divorce plan .Facing the attack of Qin and Han, it was too late for Chu State to sharpen its guns. Chen Zhen cleverly grasped the interests of these two countries, sowed discord, and finally turned Qin and Han into enemies. The confrontation with swords and swords not only weakened South Korea, but more importantly, preserved Chu State.
From the end of the autumn, to the foundation of Mount Tai
[Original text]
When things are in danger, the sage knows it and protects its use.Talking about things because of transformation, mastering strategies, and knowing the subtleties.After starting from the end of the autumn hair, it is swayed to the foundation of Mount Tai.In addition to his charity, Zhaomengya's evil plots all came from Dayi.Arriving at the gap, it is used for Taoism.

When a crisis emerges in the development of things, only a sage can be keenly aware of it, so that he can use and play his own unique role, and then analyze the pros and cons according to the development and changes of things, formulate appropriate strategies, and thus understand and identify the crisis Subtle symptoms.The beginning of the development and change of all things is as small as the end of an autumn, but once you are negligent and let it develop, the end of the autumn will shake the solid foundation like Mount Tai.When the sages carry out the education outwards, when they prevent and eliminate the germs and symptoms of some crises, they all use the technique of resistance.It can be seen that resisting this method of plugging cracks and loopholes is also a superb way to deal with things.

Take precautions and ban the emperor
The last emperor of the Xia Dynasty was Xia Jie. During his reign, he was licentious and innocent, killing loyal ministers and good generals indiscriminately, and his regime was in jeopardy.
At the same time, a subordinate state of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang State, gradually became stronger. With the help of the prime minister, Yi Yin, King Chengtang cultivated morality internally, developed military power, and gradually conquered the surrounding small countries externally. Finally, in the 11th century BC, Jie was destroyed. King, established the Shang Dynasty.
Yi Yin was originally recommended by Cheng Tang to King Jie, but King Jie only talked to him once, and never talked to him again.Cheng Tang saw that the king of Xia did not value Yi Yin, so he invited him to the state of Shang, worshiped him as chancellor, and bestowed state affairs on him.Unable to live up to popular expectations, Yi Yin helped Cheng Tang develop farming, forge weapons, and train troops, and finally destroyed the Xia Dynasty.After Cheng Tang died, he handed over the power to Xiangguo Yi Yin, and entrusted him to help his three descendants wholeheartedly.Yi Yin agreed to his request.
Cheng Tang had three descendants: Wai Bing, Zhong Ren, and Tai Jia, who were three very accomplished kings in the Shang Dynasty.However, in the first three years of Taijia's succession to the throne, he did not devote himself to the great cause of the world, but indulged in wine and sex all day long.
Yiyin once advised him as an elder, and threatened him with the power of the prime minister, but Taijia still had no intention of governing the country and serving the people.Yiyin tried every means to make Taijia change his ways, inherit Chengtang's footsteps, and create the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty, but Taijia still didn't take it seriously and was stubborn.
A minister persuaded Yi Yin: "When the Former Lord was in power, you helped him destroy the country of Xia; when the First Lord passed away, you assisted the two Lords, and you have repaid the late Lord's kindness. Now that you are powerless , why force it? You might as well take your gold and silver treasures and find a place with green mountains and green waters to live in seclusion and enjoy your old age in peace!"
Yi Yin reprimanded the minister and said: "As a minister, one should stand up when the country is in crisis and advise the emperor. This is a good minister. If it is like what you said, when the monarch is wise and the world is peaceful and prosperous, the ministers will eat at the court. Salary; and once the situation changes and the monarch does not understand the situation, he will hide it, so what is the use of our ministers?"
The minister was speechless after hearing this, and hastily pleaded guilty to Yi Yin.Even so, Yi Yin dismissed him from his post and publicly announced the crime of the minister's tongue, which made everyone fearful.
Taijia also knew about it and agreed.Yiyin took the opportunity to persuade Taijia again, but Taijia still refused to listen.Helpless, Yi Yin imprisoned Taijia in Nantong Palace and ordered him to reflect on himself, while he personally presided over the affairs of the court for three full years.
After three years of reflection, Taijia finally repented.Yi Yin personally picked him up again and returned the power to him.
Taijia ascended to the throne again and made great efforts to govern, bringing the Shang Dynasty to its heyday.Among them, Yi Yin contributed a lot. He served as the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty for more than 30 years, laying a solid foundation for the rule of the Shang Dynasty.
[Comment and Analysis]
If small gaps are not controlled in time, they will shake the foundation of the mountain if they are allowed to develop. Only by eliminating them in the bud can there be no major mistakes.Taijia was in the throne and was addicted to wine and sex. This is a small "bird". Only by stopping it in time can he prevent it from developing into a big "bird", or even irreversible.Yi Yin first persuaded him with words, and only put him under house arrest for three years when it was ineffective. This "resistance" method from low to high, from soft to hard can be said to be used just right, because Taijia has a taste of gains and then loses them again. The taste of it is much better than the effect of hearing it every day.
Yi Yin's ability to successfully "resist" Taijia's "bird" is inseparable from his vision of seeing the big from the small and knowing the small from the small. To treat it is to block it."
Dispel rumors and show loyalty
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Xiao Daocheng, the founder of Southern Qi Dynasty, was a visionary and insightful emperor.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiao Daocheng made many military exploits because of his bravery in battle.During the Taishi period of Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Daocheng had been an official to supervise the military affairs of Nanyanzhou and Xuzhou.In 469 AD, Xiao Daocheng supervised the military affairs of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, and his power was growing.
At that time, Emperor Song Ming was a cruel, murderous and superstitious monarch.He has many taboos, as long as someone violates his taboo, he will be executed.Once, when a minister was reading a memorial, he uttered the word "fierce", and he immediately ordered someone to pull the minister out and behead him. The poor minister did not realize until he was dying that it was because he had mispronounced a word.There is a city gate in Kyoto called Xuanyin Gate, which is called "White Gate" by the people.Emperor Song Ming believed that this gate represented a funeral, so he ordered that no one in the country should mention the word "white gate" again, and those who violated it would be killed without mercy.Sometimes even for trivial matters such as moving beds, lifting bricks, roofing tiles, and repairing walls, Emperor Song and Ming had to pay homage to various gods in a grand manner.
The nature of Emperor Song and Ming was such that the folks said that "Xiao Daocheng should be the emperor", and some people said that Xiao Daocheng was not a minister.After Song Mingdi heard these words, he naturally suspected that Xiao Daocheng was going to rebel. In addition, Xiao Daocheng held a large army and had great power. Song Mingdi almost believed that Xiao Daocheng was going to rebel.
Xiao Daocheng knew that all these were rumors, but he knew more about Emperor Song Ming's superstition and suspicion, so he was careful everywhere and always on guard.At this time, Xiao Daocheng was guarding Huaiyin, so Emperor Song Ming sent general Wu Xi to lead 3000 people to meet Xiao Daocheng north, and asked him to bring the imperial silver pot of wine to Xiao Daocheng. If Xiao Daocheng didn't drink it, it would prove that he If there is objection, Wu Xi can kill him immediately.As soon as Xiao Daocheng saw Wu Xi personally handing him the wine and staring at him with the sword in his hand, he understood what was going on.
If it was poisoned wine, Xiao Daocheng would definitely die.He thought about it carefully. Although Emperor Song Ming had doubts about him, he was still not sure. Moreover, the Song family still needed a talent like him. Emperor Song Ming would not kill him lightly unless it was absolutely necessary.Thinking of this, he opened the jug and drank it in one gulp.
After Wu Xi went back, he told Emperor Song Ming about the matter, and Emperor Song Ming was relieved a little.
In the seventh year of Taishi, Emperor Song Ming issued an edict to let Xiao Daocheng return to the capital. His subordinates dissuaded him one after another, thinking that returning to the capital was inappropriate, and they feared that he would be killed.But Xiao Daocheng said: "You still don't understand the situation clearly. Now that the emperor is killing all the kings, he is too busy. The crown prince is still young. He only thinks about what he will do in a hundred years. How can he care about other things? I should If you are called quickly, no harm will happen, if you hesitate to go, you will be suspected instead, thinking that I have the intention of treason."
Xiao Daocheng rode on his horse and asked on the horse: "Now the royal family is fighting each other. This is a sign that the Song Dynasty is about to perish. You must prepare everything."
Sure enough, after Xiao Daocheng returned to Beijing, Emperor Song Ming saw that he came immediately upon summoning, completely believed him, and appointed him as a regular servant of Sanqi.Emperor Song Ming wanted to seal his son again, but Xiao Daocheng refused on the grounds that it was not appropriate to have two seals within one family.
Xiao Daocheng deceived Emperor Ming of Song Dynasty, saw the right time, and finally seized the Song family.
[Comment and Analysis]
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest." If you can see the big from the small, and know the big from the small, you can observe the big trend from the small things, so as to eliminate the disaster in the bud.Emperor Song Ming was a superstitious and suspicious person. With rumors abounding, why did Xiao Daocheng dare to drink that pot of wine?Why dare to defy all opinions and return to Beijing?At this critical moment of life and death, Xiao Daocheng withstood the test with his great wisdom and courage.All this came from his correct analysis of the situation and his understanding of Emperor Song Ming, because Emperor Song Ming could not live without him, and would never kill him easily if it was not a last resort.Xiao Daocheng escaped with his subtlety and meticulousness, and finally captured the Song family.
When a sage sees a budding gap, he reaches it with the law
[Original text]
The world is wrong, there is no master, and the princes have no morals. The villain will slander the thief, the sage will not use it, the sage will hide, the greedy and fraudulent will do it, the monarch and his ministers will confuse each other, and the land will collapse and shoot at each other.Father and son are separated, obedient and chaotic, and their eyes are turned against each other, which is called the budding gap.When a sage sees a budding gap, he will attack it with the law; if the world can be cured, it will be blocked and blocked;Or it can be like this, or it can be like that; or it can be the opposite, or it can be repeated.The government of the five emperors was blocked by arrival; the affairs of the three kings were obtained by arrival.It is innumerable that the princes are against each other.At this time, it can reach the right.
From the beginning to the end of the union and separation of heaven and earth, there must be a gap, which must be observed.If you can use this way to check it, you are a saint.A sage is an envoy of heaven and earth.If there is nothing irresistible in the world, you will hide in deep and wait for the time, and if you have something to reach, you will plan for it.Can be closed, can be checked.Be able to follow the cause and keep the gods for the heaven and the earth.
【Translation】
Whenever there are endless disputes and chaos in the world, because there is no wise ruler above and no virtuous princes and generals below, treacherous and villainous people will wantonly do evil and slander the loyal and good, so that the virtuous and benevolent people are not reused. The sages all hide in the mountains and forests, far away from worldly affairs.People who are greedy for profit and wealth, hypocrisy and treachery do anything wrong, leading to mutual suspicion between the monarch and ministers, the world collapses, attacking each other, father and son are separated, and enemies become enemies. This situation is the germination of cracks.When the sage sees the cracks in these chaos, he will use the method of resistance to govern them.When the situation is still under control, it is necessary to use the method of resistance to make up for it; once the morals of the world have been damaged beyond repair, it is necessary to use the method of resistance to abandon the old and replace it with the new.It is also the art of resisting, either to block it, or to replace it, or to "resist" to block the gap and restore it to its original state, or to "resist" to completely break the status quo, reshape it with a new state, and replace it with a new one. old.During the political period of the Five Emperors, the morals of the world could still be governed, so they blocked it with the method of resisting; but when the kings of Xia, Shang, and Zhou changed, the kings were brutal, and the world could not be saved. Bing's method takes its place.In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were countless conquests and mergers among the princes, and continuous disputes. In such a chaotic era, those who are good at using the art of resisting birds are the real strong.
Since the beginning of the formation of heaven and earth, all things have been in constant motion and change, and there will naturally be cracks and loopholes. This is a problem that today's counselors must investigate in detail.If you want to understand the art of resisting, you must skillfully use the art of fighting for investigation and research. Those who can do this are sages.The so-called sage is the messenger of all things in the world, the person who can grasp the natural laws of all things in the world.When the world is peaceful and there are no cracks that need to be blocked, they will hide in the mountains and wait for the opportunity; when the world is chaotic and cracks appear and need to be plugged, they will come out in time to plan strategies to govern the troubled times.The emergence of saints can assist the king to rejuvenate the country and rule the chaos, and can supervise and supervise the subordinates, so as to stabilize the country.Those who can rationally use the technique of resisting the scorpion to deal with affairs can stand between the heaven and the earth forever, be in an invincible position, and become the guardian god of all things in the world.

Make a decisive decision to punish the faint king
Xiao Yan was the founding emperor of Liang in the Southern Dynasty. He was from Nanlanling (now northwest of Changzhou, Jiangsu).In the first year of Longchang in the Southern Qi Dynasty (AD 494), Xiao Yan was appointed as General Ningshuo and guarded Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province).In the second year of Jianwu (AD 495), because of his meritorious service in fighting against the Northern Wei army, he was appointed Sima of Jin'an King of the Right Army and the prefect of Huailing, and later he was the concubine of the prince and led Yulin Supervisor.In the fourth year of Jianwu (AD 497), the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked Yongzhou in the south, and Xiao Yan was ordered to lead the troops to Xiangyang (now Xiangyang, Hubei).In July of the same year, he was awarded the title of Chijie, the governor of the four prefectures of Yong, Liang, Nanqin, and Beiqin, and the military forces of Jingling Division in Yingzhou. He also served as the general of Fuguo and the governor of Yongzhou, guarding Xiangyang.
At this time, Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan died of illness, and his son Xiao Baojuan succeeded him.Xiao Baojuan is fatuous and incompetent, enjoying himself all day long, and all important affairs in the court are handled by Shi'an King Xiao Yaoguang, Shang Shuling Xu Xiaosi and others.Xiao Yaoguang and other six people are known as the "six nobles". These six people do not put state affairs first, and fight openly and secretly all day long. The politics between the DPRK and China is extremely dark and corrupt.Xiao Yan learned about the situation in Xiangyang, and said to his relative Zhang Hongce: "There are many political parties, which is the beginning of the country's chaos. "The Book of Songs" says, "One country and three princes, who should I follow?" Now there are six nobles in the country, How amazing is this! I expected that the conflict between the six nobles would intensify to the point of fighting, and Xiangyang is far away from the capital, which is a good place to avoid disaster. But my younger brothers are all in the capital, I am afraid they will encounter disaster, I'm going to discuss it with my brother."
Soon, his elder brother Xiao Yi was transferred from Yizhou governor to Yingzhou to serve.Xiao Yan sent Zhang Hongce to Yingzhou to send a letter to Xiao Yi.The letter said: Now that the six nobles are fighting for power, and the suspicion between the monarch and his ministers has reached a certain level, they will be punished and killed. Once the chaos starts, the government and the opposition will collapse.We are fortunate to stay away from the capital and lead troops outside the town, so we can protect ourselves and plot big plans.Therefore, we should take advantage of the time when the imperial court has no doubts, and gather all the younger brothers together.Otherwise, once the court becomes suspicious of us, the younger brothers will have nowhere to go in the capital.Today, the elder brother is in Yingzhou and controls Jingxiang; the younger brother is in Yongzhou with tens of thousands of troops.At this time when the government is in turmoil and the government is in turmoil, it happens to be based on this to plan for great things. If the opportunity is missed, it will be too late to regret.
When Xiao Yi saw the letter, his expression changed drastically.He didn't agree with Xiao Yan's doing this, because if it didn't work out, it would lead to a catastrophe. Seeing that his brother refused, Xiao Yan welcomed his younger brothers Xiao Wei and Xiao Dan to Xiangyang alone, secretly made weapons, recruited soldiers, and cut bamboo in Xiangyang Wood, tie the boat in the Tanxi River for future use.
Xiao Yi rejected Xiao Yan's invitation, and soon entered the court as the crown prince Youwei, Shangshu Libulang, and Wei Weiqing.In the second year of Yongyuan (500 A.D.), Pei Shuye and Ya Huijing gathered people to launch a mutiny. Xiao Yi led the troops to quell the rebellion and made great contributions to the court.But instead of being rewarded, he was jealous and killed in the winter of that year.
The killing of Xiao Yi not only proved the accuracy of Xiao Yan's foresight, but also provided an opportunity for Xiao Yan to raise his troops.Xiao Yan seized this opportunity in time. After conspiring with his cronies, he summoned his troops and vowed to raise troops.Xiao Yan said to his assistants: "Now the faint king is vicious, cruel and violent, killing the sages and heroes of the court for no reason, making people miserable, and the people are in dire straits, which is not tolerated by the heavens. You and I will work together to defeat the faint king. After the event is completed, you They will be rich and powerful, they will be princes and generals, I will never break my promise!"
Everyone said in unison: "I would like to listen to your arrangement."
After taking the oath, Xiao Yan asked people to salvage the bamboo and wood from the Tanxi River to make thousands of battleships.He also summoned more than ten thousand soldiers to attack Xiao Baojuan.After killing Xiao Baojuan, Xiao Yan established the puppet emperor Xiao Baorong.A year later, he abolished the puppet emperor, ascended the throne himself, and established the Liang Dynasty.
[Comment and Analysis]
In the technique of resisting the scorpion, there is: "either to resist the opposite, or to resist it." It means that when the world can still be changed, it should be blocked by the method of resisting the scorpion;Here, Xiao Yan made a profound analysis that "many political parties are the beginning of great chaos in the country." Since the six nobles are not willing to easily withdraw from the cage of power in the court, they can only repel and attack each other in order to achieve their own goals. , This is the "bird" that can be used.When they fought against each other, only Xiao Yan benefited.At this time, it is impossible to make up for the "Yu", because it has reached the point of no return, and it is necessary to decisively attack the faint king and replace him.If you continue to stop, you will be disturbed by it.
To be able to successfully use "or resist and reply", one must have foresight, be able to see the situation clearly, and take immediate and decisive actions, which are all necessary prerequisites for success.Xiao Yi's short-sightedness brought him disaster, while Xiao Yan's long-sightedness made him ascend to the throne of God.
Go the other way to fill the gap
During the Warring States Period, Tian Ying, the youngest son of King Qiwei of Qi State, was very friendly to Qi Maongbian.Qi Mongbian was informal and often offended some people, so many of Tian Ying's disciples disliked him.Some people resented that he had ridiculed themselves, so they often said bad things about Qimaojian in front of Tian Ying. Even Tian Ying's son, Meng Changjun Tianwen, advised his father not to favor Qimaobian so much.
Tian Ying was very angry. He said to the retainers: "Even if we eradicate our family and destroy our home, as long as it can make Qi Maungju happy, I will not hesitate."
In order to show that he kept his word, Tian Ying let Qi Maungbian live in a first-class building, offered him rich food every day, and ordered his eldest son to drive for him.Everyone didn't understand Tian Ying's approach, so many diners left Tian Mansion one after another.
A few years later, King Qi Wei passed away, and his eldest son came to the throne as King Qi Xuan.The relationship between Tian Ying and his elder brother became estranged due to various reasons. Qi Xuan Wang felt that Tian Ying's stay in Qi State would be bad for him sooner or later, so he wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him.
Seeing this, Tian Ying had no choice but to stay away from King Xuan. He had no choice but to leave the capital and live in Xue, his fief. Qi Maangbian also lived with him.
Not long after, Qi Maobian said to Tian Ying: "How can this place be compared to the capital city! Do you want to live here for the rest of your life?"
Tian Ying said: "How can I be willing? But how can I go back!"
Qi Maung patted his chest and said: "Let me go to see the king."
Tian Ying panicked and said, "Your Majesty doesn't like me, you will surely die if you go."
Qi Maobian didn't listen to Tian Ying's dissuasion at all, and before leaving, asked someone to tell him: "I didn't intend to come back alive!"
Qi Maojian saw King Xuan, before he kowtowed, King Xuan asked: "I heard that you are Tian Ying's favorite and trusted person?"
Qi Maongbian said calmly: "There is love, but I never listened to it."
King Xuan of Qi snorted coldly, "You said he didn't listen to you, what evidence do you have?"
"My lord, when you were the prince, I once said to him: 'The prince's appearance is not benevolent, his cheeks are plump, and his eyes are fierce when he looks at people. Such a person will definitely hurt you in the future. Why don't you abolish the prince and appoint someone else? !' But Jing Guojun and Tian Ying said with tears: "No, I can't bear to do this." In exchange for Xue Di, I persuaded him: "You must agree to him." Jing Guojun said: "Xue Di was given to me by the former king. Although the latter king treated me badly, how could I betray the former king and the current state of Qi?" What!' So he resolutely refused to change, this is the second thing he didn't listen to me."
When King Xuan heard this, he sighed, was moved to tears, and said: "It turns out that he has such deep feelings for me! I was young and ignorant. I must ask him to forgive my disrespect for him. Now I can invite him back. ?"
So King Xuan gave Tian Ying new clothes and King Wei's sword, and asked Qi Maongjian to bring them to Tian Ying.After the two brothers met, they both shed tears.
[Comment and Analysis]
Many diners and Qi Maung had a "blindness" and slandered him in front of Tian Ying, but Tian Ying was unmoved, and instead further deepened their relationship with Qi Maung.After King Xuan succeeded to the throne, the "鞻" between brothers forced Tian Ying to stay away from the capital and return to his fiefdom.At this time, it's time to repay the kindness of "鞻" with equal appearance, just as the article says: "If there is nothing irresistible in the world, we will hide and wait for the time, and when there is something to be repaid, we will plan for it." What is amazing is the unique method of distinguishing "鞻" from the same appearance. He does not state the pros and cons, or use conspiracies and tricks like ordinary people, but uses the opposite method. On the surface, he said that Tian Ying once wanted to The matter of harming King Xuan is actually praising Tian Ying's benevolence and righteousness to King Xuan.It was precisely this abnormal remedial method that shocked King Xuan of Qi deeply and withdrew his order, and the two brothers reconciled as before.
Qi Maung discriminated against his way of "resisting and blocking it", and succeeded in making up for "鞻" with a plan of bringing the dead back to life, which also freed himself from the predicament.His clever words and eloquence put himself in a dangerous situation, and promoted Tian Ying to the position of benevolence and righteousness.This approach may seem abnormal, but it can often achieve ideal results in certain specific situations.
slander
In the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Hong's family was very poor when he was a child, and he lived a life of poverty.The so-called poverty leads to change. He studied hard, studied poetry and books hard, and after ten years of hard work, he finally became a prime minister.Although he lives above the temple and holds great power, he still maintains the frugal and fine style of his childhood in life.There is only one meat dish for meals, and the quilts used by ordinary people are used for sleeping.His servants also lamented: "My family is truly honest!"
These words soon spread to the imperial court, and the civil and military officials were deeply moved by it, but the minister Ji An didn't think so.He read a book from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and said to the emperor: "Gongsun Hong is now among the three princes. He is not as boring as he was back then. He has a considerable salary, but why does he still cover ordinary quilts and eat simple meals?"
The emperor smiled and said: "Don't everyone in the court praise him for being honest and frugal? Gongsun Hong never forgets the sufferings of the past, nor does he forget the virtues of the past!"
Ji An shook his head, and continued: "According to what I see, Gongsun Hong's actions are in essence to use fraud to gain fame, and the purpose is to defraud the reputation of frugality and integrity."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought about it and felt that it made some sense.Once, when he was in the early court, he had a chance and asked Gongsun Hong: "Ji An said that you are fishing for fame, and your frugality is deliberately showing off for everyone to see. Is what he said true?"
Gongsun Hong felt very wronged when he heard it, and just wanted to go forward to defend himself, but then he thought about it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty might be partial to it now, and preconceived that he was not really "thrifty".If he is in a hurry to explain now, all the civil and military officials will think that he is indeed "fishing for fame".Thinking about it again, this accusation is not about life, at best it will hurt one's reputation.Those who are clean are self-clear, as long as you stick to your own style, others will naturally understand in the future.Thinking of this, Gongsun Hong swallowed the grievance just now, decided not to make any excuses, and admitted that he was trying to gain fame.
He replied: "Ji An is right. Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he has a deep relationship with me, a close relationship, and a good friendship. He is the most familiar with my family life and understands me best. He What you said to the emperor hit the nail on the head and hit my heart."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought he was going to defend himself, and was quite surprised to hear these words, and asked, "Oh? Is that so?"
"I'm one of the three princes, but I only wear quilts. My standard of living is the same as that of a petty official. I'm really pretending to be incorruptible in order to gain fame." Gongsun Hong replied, "Ji An is loyal and upright. If it weren't for him, Your Majesty wouldn't know about it." In this case, I will never hear such criticism of me!"
After hearing Gongsunhong's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that he was honest and humble, and he never thought that he would praise his opponents who criticized him.Since then, I have respected him even more.When other colleagues and ministers saw that Gong Sunhong was so honest, they couldn't help but wonder how such a person would seek fame?
[Comment and Analysis]
"When a sage sees a budding hole, he will attack it with the law." Gongsun Hong used the method of repairing the hole here in order to restore his reputation.Its characteristic is that it doesn't justify its "unnecessary" "鞻", but speaks along with the situation, so the false words can be self-defeating.It can be seen that many things do not need to be explained. For those who believe in themselves, explanations are superfluous; for those who do not believe in themselves, explanations are unnecessary.Therefore, there is no need to justify some accusations, and those who are clear will clear themselves, and sometimes explanations will have a negative effect.
【Wisdom summary】
According to the explanation of "Ci Hai": "鞻" originally means precipitous and sinister, and later extended to the meaning of gap, loophole, contradiction, etc., which is used as a metaphor to give people an opportunity to take advantage of.Therefore, this article mainly talks about how to gain insight into the defects and contradictions in things, and what measures should be taken to make up or make use of them.
"Guiguzi" believes that there will be contradictions in everything. If it is not controlled, it will change from small to large, and it will be too late to remedy it.The best way to control things is to prevent in advance and have the analytical ability to size up the situation.When there is a crack, it is necessary to take timely measures to make up for it. If it is caused by internal reasons, it will be blocked, and if it is caused by external reasons, it will be necessary to eliminate external hidden dangers.
There are two types of objects for "resisting", one is "resisting" to oneself, and the other is "resisting" to others; the method of "resisting" can also be divided into two types, one is to repair , one is to use.The art of resistance is mainly based on political use, which is the so-called opportunistic and opportunistic.The method is mainly to achieve the desired purpose by exploiting the weakness or defect of the user, such as taking advantage of the other party's own "scum" such as greed for money, lust, and greed, or taking advantage of the other party's inherently suspicious, self-willed and other shortcomings to create "鞻" and so on.
From the overall point of view: the key to the successful application of the resisting technique is to conform to the law of the development and change of things. Enemies can also find ways to overcome them.

Zou Ji set up a trap and chased Tian Ji
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Qi Wei was famous for his intelligence and intelligence.But sometimes you can't help being confused, falling into other people's tricks, and driving fish for the deep.
At that time, Zou Ji was the chancellor and Tian Ji was the general, and the two were at odds, jealous of each other, and quarreled endlessly.Later, a man named Gongsun Yue gave Zou Ji an idea.Gongsun Yue said:
"My lord, why don't you suggest to the King of Qi to crusade against Wei? If you win, it's because of your brilliant plan, you can receive a reward; if you lose, it's because of Tian Ji's ineffective command and unwillingness to give up his life. Even if he doesn't die on the battlefield, you can find someone else." Get rid of him."
Zou Ji thought this idea was very clever, so he persuaded King Qi Wei to crusade against Wei.
Therefore, Tian Ji supervised the attack on Wei, and won three battles and three victories.Zou Ji was displeased, so he went to Gongsun Yue for advice.
Gongsun Yue then sent someone to carry 200 taels of gold to the busy market for divination, and said to the divination:
"I am the person sent by Tian Ji. The general has three victories and three victories. He is powerful in the world. He wants to overthrow the king of Qi and think himself king. Sir, please calculate the prospects?"
After the people sent by Gongsun Yue left, Zou Ji immediately informed King Qi Wei.King Qi Wei arrested the diviner for interrogation, and it was true.The ironclad evidence was so strong that Tian Ji had no choice but to abandon his job and flee to other countries.
After Tian Ji escaped from Qi State, he came to Chu State.Zou Ji monopolized the power and gained more power, but he was worried that Tian Ji would use the power of Chu State to return to Qi State to rule, and he felt uneasy.
Du He said to him: "My lord, don't worry, I will make Tian Ji stay in Chu."
So Du He went south to the state of Chu and said to the king of Chu:
"The reason why Zou Ji of Qi hates Chu is because he is worried that Tian Ji will use the power of Chu to make a comeback. Your Majesty, why don't you seal Tian Ji in Jiangnan and tell Zou Ji that Tian Ji will never return to Qi? In this way, Zou Ji will He is good-neighborly and friendly with the state of Chu, and lives in harmony. Besides, Tian Ji fled to the state of Chu and obtained the fiefdom in the south of the Yangtze River. He must be grateful to the king. If he has the opportunity to return to the country in the future, he will do his best to repay the king. This is the strategy of killing two birds with one stone. Zou Ji is also used by the king."
The king of Chu nodded in agreement, and sealed Tian Ji in the south of the Yangtze River.
[Comment and Analysis]
Zou Ji and Tian Ji had a "bird", so Gongsun Yue and Du He advised Zou Ji and tried every means to expel Tian Ji, using the method of "arriving and getting it".The final result not only expelled Tian Ji from Qi, but also prevented him from being reused in Chu, so that Tian Ji had no chance to make a comeback.
Wang Yun and Gou Jian cleverly set up a beauty trick
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian ascended the throne at the age of 9. Because he was young and ignorant, the power of the court was controlled by Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo was insidious and cunning, often killed innocent people indiscriminately, and had ambitions to usurp the throne.The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty both hated and feared Dong Zhuo, dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Wang Yun, who worshiped Situ as an official, was very worried. If such a traitor had appeared in the court, if he was not eradicated, the power of the Han Dynasty might be in danger.But Dong Zhuo is very powerful, and there are countless generals around him, so he must not be his opponent in a frontal attack.Later, Wang Yun learned that there was a brave general named Lv Bu beside Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo recognized him as his adopted son and loyally protected Dong Zhuo.After observation, Wang Yun found that the "father and son" had a common weakness, that they were both lustful.So they wanted to use the "beauty trick" to let their father and son kill each other to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
There is a singer named Diao Chan in Wang Yun's mansion. She is not only beautiful, but also very talented.When Wang Yun proposed to Diao Chan a plan to kill Dong Zhuo with a beauty trick, Diao Chan, who understood the righteousness, decided to sacrifice herself to eliminate harm for the court in order to thank Wang Yun for his kindness in nurturing her.
At a banquet for Lu Bu, Wang Yun offered to betroth his goddaughter Diao Chan to Lu Bu.Lu Bu was very happy to see such a beautiful woman, and he was very grateful to Wang Yun.
The next day, Wang Yun invited Dong Zhuo to his house again, and during the banquet, he summoned Diao Chan to perform a dance for Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo couldn't help salivating when he saw Diao Chan's beauty.Seeing the opportunity, Wang Yun said: "If the grand master likes it, I will give the singer in front of me to the grand master." Dong Zhuo pretended to give way, and then happily brought Diao Chan back to the mansion.
Lü Bu was furious when he found out about this, and asked Wang Yun face to face why he turned his back on what he said. Wang Yun made up a lie to coax Lv Bu, saying: "The grand master said that the purpose of coming this time is to see his daughter-in-law. How dare I disobey his order?" The grand master also said that he would choose an auspicious day to marry you, so he decided to bring Diao Chan back to the mansion to marry the general."
Lu Bu believed it was true, so he waited in the mansion for Dong Zhuo to arrange the marriage for him.But after a few days, there was still no movement. Anxious Lv Bu found out after inquiring that Dong Zhuo actually took Diao Chan as his own.
One day when Dong Zhuo went to the court, he found that Lu Bu was not around, and he was suspicious, so he hurried back to the mansion, and happened to see Lu Bu and Diaochan talking and laughing together in the Fengyi Pavilion in the back garden.He was furious and stabbed at Lu Bu with his halberd.Lu Bu dodged and dodged.Lu Bu left Taishi's mansion angrily, and scolded Dong Zhuo for his face and animal heart, breaking him and Diaochan apart.In fact, Lu Bu and Diao Chan's private date was also Diao Chan's plan to act according to Wang Yun's plan to drive a wedge between their father and son.
Seeing that the time was right, Wang Yun invited Lu Bu to the secret room of his home again to discuss.Wang Yun scolded Dong Zhuo for taking away his daughter and Lu Bu's wife, which is really hateful.Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said: "It's not because of our father-son relationship, I must kill him!" Wang Yun hurriedly said: "The general's words are wrong. Your surname is Lu and his surname is Dong. How can you say they are father and son?" What about it? Besides, he has taken over your wife and wants to assassinate you with a halberd, so how can there be any father-son relationship?" Lu Bu said, "Thank you, Lord Situ, for your timely reminder. If I don't kill the old thief, I will not be a human being!"
Wang Yun saw that Lv Bu had been persuaded by himself, so he immediately passed the imperial decree and summoned Dong Zhuo to the court to accept Zen in the name of the emperor.Dong Zhuo didn't know what it was, and went into the palace to receive Zen in a show of power. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the palace gate, Lu Bu pierced his throat with a halberd.The traitor was eliminated, and everyone inside and outside the court clapped their hands and praised Wang Yun and Lu Bu's merits.
There are many applications of beauty tricks in history. Another successful example is that Gou Jian used Xi Shi to drive a wedge between Wu Wang Fucha and Wu Zixu.
In 496 BC, King Yunchang of Yue died, and Gou Jian succeeded to the throne.King Helu of Wu refused to listen to Wu Zixu's dissuasion, and took advantage of the funeral of Yue State to send troops to attack Yue State.During the battle, King Helu of Wu was wounded in his right foot and died within a few days after returning to Wu.His son Fuchai inherited the throne of King Wu, and he was determined to avenge his father.
In 494 BC, King Fuchai of Wu sent troops to attack the State of Yue. Gou Jian was besieged in Kuaiji Mountain and was forced to make peace with King Wu, expressing his willingness to be the obedient subject of King Wu.As hostages, Goujian and his wife carefully served the King of Wu in the State of Wu. After suffering all kinds of humiliation, they won the trust of the King of Wu and were pardoned and returned to the State of Yue three years later.
After Gou Jian returned to Yue State, he tried his best to avenge his shame and return to the country.Goujian and Wenzhong discussed the plan of revenge, and Wenzhong presented Goujian with seven strategies to break through, the third of which was the beauty trap.In order to implement the beauty trick, Fan Li, a doctor of the Yue Kingdom, found Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, beauties who understood righteousness, and gave them to Fu Chai.
Xishi is not only beautiful in appearance, but also good at singing and dancing. She has outstanding talents, and soon got Fucha's favor, and Fucha obeyed Xishi's words.Therefore, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan tried their best to provoke the relationship between Fu Chai, the king of Wu, and Wu Zixu, the important minister, and killed the resourceful Wu Zixu with the help of Fu Chai, which greatly weakened the power of Wu.
In 473 B.C., Goujian, king of Yue, led a large force to attack the state of Wu and surrounded Fuchai.Fu Chai was forced to commit suicide, Yue won a complete victory, and soon became the hegemony of one side, becoming one of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.
[Comment and Analysis]
Judging from the use of the art of resisting the scorpion, the beauty trick is used based on the "smelt" of the target itself (that is, the weakness of Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Wu Wang Fuchai who are all lustful), and then uses the beauty to create new ones. The "鞻" (that is, to separate the father-son relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and the relationship between Fucha and Wu Zixu as monarch and minister).The cleverness of the use of beauty tricks is to create new "birds" and kill people with a knife to achieve their own goals, thus saving a lot of trouble.
Judging from the effects of the above two beauty tricks, Wang Yun directly achieved his expected goal, and used Lu Bu's hand to get rid of Dong Zhuo; Gou Jian only used Xi Shi to get rid of Wu Zixu who was next to Fu Chai, weakening the power of Wu. In terms of strength, its level of sophistication is slightly inferior to that of Wang Yun.
Sow dissension to protect the state of Chu
During the Warring States Period, Qin and South Korea fought in Heze, and South Korea lost consecutively, and the situation was critical.
The doctor Gong Zhong suggested to the King of Han: "Our army is far inferior to that of Qin State. Now we have no backup inside and no rescue outside. We are at the critical moment of life and death. Now Qin State intends to attack Chu State instead of our country. It is better to use Zhang Yi Talk to Qin, give Qin a famous city, and ask him to attack Chu together. Qin will not be with me, and it is profitable, so I will definitely agree. This will not only preserve our country, but also destroy the powerful enemy Chu. This is killing two birds with one stone. .”
The king of Han agreed, so he announced to the outside world that Gong Zhong would go west to Qin to discuss peace.When the king of Chu heard that South Korea was going to reconcile with Qin, he was very frightened, so he summoned Chen Zhen and asked him what to do.
Chen Zhen said: "Qin State has wanted to attack Chu State for a long time, and now it has a famous city in South Korea, and then goes south with South Korea. This is what Qin State dreams of! Chu State will definitely be attacked by the two countries."
The King of Chu nodded and said, "Yes. A Qin country is already unstoppable, plus South Korea, don't we want to perish?"
Chen Zhen hurriedly said: "I have a solution. Your Majesty can select troops from the country and claim to save Han. The more people who know, the better. Then he will order soldiers to fill the roads with chariots, and send envoys with enough belongings to send The King of Han believed that the King of Chu was his ally and would definitely save him. Even if he could not do so, South Korea would be grateful to you and would not come to attack Chu. It is possible to turn against each other, and a state of Qin cannot cause any major harm to our country; if, as I wish, South Korea accepts our gift and expresses its closeness, then Qin will be furious when it finds out, and the two countries will forge grievances , The conflict between them is beneficial to us. This is my plan to rely on the soldiers of Qin and Han to avoid the disaster of Chu State."
The king of Chu was overjoyed after hearing this, so he selected people in the country, declared to save Han, and sent envoys to send a lot of property to South Korea.King Han was overjoyed, so he prevented Gong Zhong from going to Qin.Gong Zhong persuaded King Han to say: "You can't do this. Qin State told us the truth, but Chu State is lying. If you believe Chu State's lies and break up with Qin State easily, you will definitely be retaliated by Qin State. Besides, Chu and Han are not brothers. The country is not an ally, and there is no agreement to crusade against Qin. Only when Qin wanted to crusade against Chu, Chu sent troops to save Han. This must be Chen Zhen's scheme. Please don't fall into Chu's treacherous scheme. !"
The king of Han did not listen to his father-in-law, and severed relations with Qin.Qin State was furious and sent more troops to attack South Korea, but the reinforcements from Chu State did not arrive, and South Korea was defeated.
[Comment and Analysis]
The use of the technique of resisting the bird is not uncommon in the military, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.The above allusion is an example obtained by calculating distance.If you can see the mutual interests of other countries, you can use the divorce plan to stir up disputes between the two sides, while you can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight for the benefit of the fisherman. The above story is a famous example of the successful use of the divorce plan .Facing the attack of Qin and Han, it was too late for Chu State to sharpen its guns. Chen Zhen cleverly grasped the interests of these two countries, sowed discord, and finally turned Qin and Han into enemies. The confrontation with swords and swords not only weakened South Korea, but more importantly, preserved Chu State.

When a crisis emerges in the development of things, only a sage can be keenly aware of it, so that he can use and play his own unique role, and then analyze the pros and cons according to the development and changes of things, formulate appropriate strategies, and thus understand and identify the crisis Subtle symptoms.The beginning of the development and change of all things is as small as the end of an autumn, but once you are negligent and let it develop, the end of the autumn will shake the solid foundation like Mount Tai.When the sages carry out the education outwards, when they prevent and eliminate the germs and symptoms of some crises, they all use the technique of resistance.It can be seen that resisting this method of plugging cracks and loopholes is also a superb way to deal with things.

Take precautions and ban the emperor
The last emperor of the Xia Dynasty was Xia Jie. During his reign, he was licentious and innocent, killing loyal ministers and good generals indiscriminately, and his regime was in jeopardy.
At the same time, a subordinate state of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang State, gradually became stronger. With the help of the prime minister, Yi Yin, King Chengtang cultivated morality internally, developed military power, and gradually conquered the surrounding small countries externally. Finally, in the 11th century BC, Jie was destroyed. King, established the Shang Dynasty.
Yi Yin was originally recommended by Cheng Tang to King Jie, but King Jie only talked to him once, and never talked to him again.Cheng Tang saw that the king of Xia did not value Yi Yin, so he invited him to the state of Shang, worshiped him as chancellor, and bestowed state affairs on him.Unable to live up to popular expectations, Yi Yin helped Cheng Tang develop farming, forge weapons, and train troops, and finally destroyed the Xia Dynasty.After Cheng Tang died, he handed over the power to Xiangguo Yi Yin, and entrusted him to help his three descendants wholeheartedly.Yi Yin agreed to his request.
Cheng Tang had three descendants: Wai Bing, Zhong Ren, and Tai Jia, who were three very accomplished kings in the Shang Dynasty.However, in the first three years of Taijia's succession to the throne, he did not devote himself to the great cause of the world, but indulged in wine and sex all day long.
Yiyin once advised him as an elder, and threatened him with the power of the prime minister, but Taijia still had no intention of governing the country and serving the people.Yiyin tried every means to make Taijia change his ways, inherit Chengtang's footsteps, and create the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty, but Taijia still didn't take it seriously and was stubborn.
A minister persuaded Yi Yin: "When the Former Lord was in power, you helped him destroy the country of Xia; when the First Lord passed away, you assisted the two Lords, and you have repaid the late Lord's kindness. Now that you are powerless , why force it? You might as well take your gold and silver treasures and find a place with green mountains and green waters to live in seclusion and enjoy your old age in peace!"
Yi Yin reprimanded the minister and said: "As a minister, one should stand up when the country is in crisis and advise the emperor. This is a good minister. If it is like what you said, when the monarch is wise and the world is peaceful and prosperous, the ministers will eat at the court. Salary; and once the situation changes and the monarch does not understand the situation, he will hide it, so what is the use of our ministers?"
The minister was speechless after hearing this, and hastily pleaded guilty to Yi Yin.Even so, Yi Yin dismissed him from his post and publicly announced the crime of the minister's tongue, which made everyone fearful.
Taijia also knew about it and agreed.Yiyin took the opportunity to persuade Taijia again, but Taijia still refused to listen.Helpless, Yi Yin imprisoned Taijia in Nantong Palace and ordered him to reflect on himself, while he personally presided over the affairs of the court for three full years.
After three years of reflection, Taijia finally repented.Yi Yin personally picked him up again and returned the power to him.
Taijia ascended to the throne again and made great efforts to govern, bringing the Shang Dynasty to its heyday.Among them, Yi Yin contributed a lot. He served as the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty for more than 30 years, laying a solid foundation for the rule of the Shang Dynasty.
[Comment and Analysis]
If small gaps are not controlled in time, they will shake the foundation of the mountain if they are allowed to develop. Only by eliminating them in the bud can there be no major mistakes.Taijia was in the throne and was addicted to wine and sex. This is a small "bird". Only by stopping it in time can he prevent it from developing into a big "bird", or even irreversible.Yi Yin first persuaded him with words, and only put him under house arrest for three years when it was ineffective. This "resistance" method from low to high, from soft to hard can be said to be used just right, because Taijia has a taste of gains and then loses them again. The taste of it is much better than the effect of hearing it every day.
Yi Yin's ability to successfully "resist" Taijia's "bird" is inseparable from his vision of seeing the big from the small and knowing the small from the small. To treat it is to block it."
Dispel rumors and show loyalty
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Xiao Daocheng, the founder of Southern Qi Dynasty, was a visionary and insightful emperor.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiao Daocheng made many military exploits because of his bravery in battle.During the Taishi period of Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Daocheng had been an official to supervise the military affairs of Nanyanzhou and Xuzhou.In 469 AD, Xiao Daocheng supervised the military affairs of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, and his power was growing.
At that time, Emperor Song Ming was a cruel, murderous and superstitious monarch.He has many taboos, as long as someone violates his taboo, he will be executed.Once, when a minister was reading a memorial, he uttered the word "fierce", and he immediately ordered someone to pull the minister out and behead him. The poor minister did not realize until he was dying that it was because he had mispronounced a word.There is a city gate in Kyoto called Xuanyin Gate, which is called "White Gate" by the people.Emperor Song Ming believed that this gate represented a funeral, so he ordered that no one in the country should mention the word "white gate" again, and those who violated it would be killed without mercy.Sometimes even for trivial matters such as moving beds, lifting bricks, roofing tiles, and repairing walls, Emperor Song and Ming had to pay homage to various gods in a grand manner.
The nature of Emperor Song and Ming was such that the folks said that "Xiao Daocheng should be the emperor", and some people said that Xiao Daocheng was not a minister.After Song Mingdi heard these words, he naturally suspected that Xiao Daocheng was going to rebel. In addition, Xiao Daocheng held a large army and had great power. Song Mingdi almost believed that Xiao Daocheng was going to rebel.
Xiao Daocheng knew that all these were rumors, but he knew more about Emperor Song Ming's superstition and suspicion, so he was careful everywhere and always on guard.At this time, Xiao Daocheng was guarding Huaiyin, so Emperor Song Ming sent general Wu Xi to lead 3000 people to meet Xiao Daocheng north, and asked him to bring the imperial silver pot of wine to Xiao Daocheng. If Xiao Daocheng didn't drink it, it would prove that he If there is objection, Wu Xi can kill him immediately.As soon as Xiao Daocheng saw Wu Xi personally handing him the wine and staring at him with the sword in his hand, he understood what was going on.
If it was poisoned wine, Xiao Daocheng would definitely die.He thought about it carefully. Although Emperor Song Ming had doubts about him, he was still not sure. Moreover, the Song family still needed a talent like him. Emperor Song Ming would not kill him lightly unless it was absolutely necessary.Thinking of this, he opened the jug and drank it in one gulp.
After Wu Xi went back, he told Emperor Song Ming about the matter, and Emperor Song Ming was relieved a little.
In the seventh year of Taishi, Emperor Song Ming issued an edict to let Xiao Daocheng return to the capital. His subordinates dissuaded him one after another, thinking that returning to the capital was inappropriate, and they feared that he would be killed.But Xiao Daocheng said: "You still don't understand the situation clearly. Now that the emperor is killing all the kings, he is too busy. The crown prince is still young. He only thinks about what he will do in a hundred years. How can he care about other things? I should If you are called quickly, no harm will happen, if you hesitate to go, you will be suspected instead, thinking that I have the intention of treason."
Xiao Daocheng rode on his horse and asked on the horse: "Now the royal family is fighting each other. This is a sign that the Song Dynasty is about to perish. You must prepare everything."
Sure enough, after Xiao Daocheng returned to Beijing, Emperor Song Ming saw that he came immediately upon summoning, completely believed him, and appointed him as a regular servant of Sanqi.Emperor Song Ming wanted to seal his son again, but Xiao Daocheng refused on the grounds that it was not appropriate to have two seals within one family.
Xiao Daocheng deceived Emperor Ming of Song Dynasty, saw the right time, and finally seized the Song family.
[Comment and Analysis]
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest." If you can see the big from the small, and know the big from the small, you can observe the big trend from the small things, so as to eliminate the disaster in the bud.Emperor Song Ming was a superstitious and suspicious person. With rumors abounding, why did Xiao Daocheng dare to drink that pot of wine?Why dare to defy all opinions and return to Beijing?At this critical moment of life and death, Xiao Daocheng withstood the test with his great wisdom and courage.All this came from his correct analysis of the situation and his understanding of Emperor Song Ming, because Emperor Song Ming could not live without him, and would never kill him easily if it was not a last resort.Xiao Daocheng escaped with his subtlety and meticulousness, and finally captured the Song family.
When a sage sees a budding gap, he reaches it with the law
[Original text]
The world is wrong, there is no master, and the princes have no morals. The villain will slander the thief, the sage will not use it, the sage will hide, the greedy and fraudulent will do it, the monarch and his ministers will confuse each other, and the land will collapse and shoot at each other.Father and son are separated, obedient and chaotic, and their eyes are turned against each other, which is called the budding gap.When a sage sees a budding gap, he will attack it with the law; if the world can be cured, it will be blocked and blocked;Or it can be like this, or it can be like that; or it can be the opposite, or it can be repeated.The government of the five emperors was blocked by arrival; the affairs of the three kings were obtained by arrival.It is innumerable that the princes are against each other.At this time, it can reach the right.
From the beginning to the end of the union and separation of heaven and earth, there must be a gap, which must be observed.If you can use this way to check it, you are a saint.A sage is an envoy of heaven and earth.If there is nothing irresistible in the world, you will hide in deep and wait for the time, and if you have something to reach, you will plan for it.Can be closed, can be checked.Be able to follow the cause and keep the gods for the heaven and the earth.
【Translation】
Whenever there are endless disputes and chaos in the world, because there is no wise ruler above and no virtuous princes and generals below, treacherous and villainous people will wantonly do evil and slander the loyal and good, so that the virtuous and benevolent people are not reused. The sages all hide in the mountains and forests, far away from worldly affairs.People who are greedy for profit and wealth, hypocrisy and treachery do anything wrong, leading to mutual suspicion between the monarch and ministers, the world collapses, attacking each other, father and son are separated, and enemies become enemies. This situation is the germination of cracks.When the sage sees the cracks in these chaos, he will use the method of resistance to govern them.When the situation is still under control, it is necessary to use the method of resistance to make up for it; once the morals of the world have been damaged beyond repair, it is necessary to use the method of resistance to abandon the old and replace it with the new.It is also the art of resisting, either to block it, or to replace it, or to "resist" to block the gap and restore it to its original state, or to "resist" to completely break the status quo, reshape it with a new state, and replace it with a new one. old.During the political period of the Five Emperors, the morals of the world could still be governed, so they blocked it with the method of resisting; but when the kings of Xia, Shang, and Zhou changed, the kings were brutal, and the world could not be saved. Bing's method takes its place.In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were countless conquests and mergers among the princes, and continuous disputes. In such a chaotic era, those who are good at using the art of resisting birds are the real strong.
Since the beginning of the formation of heaven and earth, all things have been in constant motion and change, and there will naturally be cracks and loopholes. This is a problem that today's counselors must investigate in detail.If you want to understand the art of resisting, you must skillfully use the art of fighting for investigation and research. Those who can do this are sages.The so-called sage is the messenger of all things in the world, the person who can grasp the natural laws of all things in the world.When the world is peaceful and there are no cracks that need to be blocked, they will hide in the mountains and wait for the opportunity; when the world is chaotic and cracks appear and need to be plugged, they will come out in time to plan strategies to govern the troubled times.The emergence of saints can assist the king to rejuvenate the country and rule the chaos, and can supervise and supervise the subordinates, so as to stabilize the country.Those who can rationally use the technique of resisting the scorpion to deal with affairs can stand between the heaven and the earth forever, be in an invincible position, and become the guardian god of all things in the world.
Examples of Wisdom
Make a decisive decision to punish the faint king
Xiao Yan was the founding emperor of Liang in the Southern Dynasty. He was from Nanlanling (now northwest of Changzhou, Jiangsu).In the first year of Longchang in the Southern Qi Dynasty (AD 494), Xiao Yan was appointed as General Ningshuo and guarded Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province).In the second year of Jianwu (AD 495), because of his meritorious service in fighting against the Northern Wei army, he was appointed Sima of Jin'an King of the Right Army and the prefect of Huailing, and later he was the concubine of the prince and led Yulin Supervisor.In the fourth year of Jianwu (AD 497), the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked Yongzhou in the south, and Xiao Yan was ordered to lead the troops to Xiangyang (now Xiangyang, Hubei).In July of the same year, he was awarded the title of Chijie, the governor of the four prefectures of Yong, Liang, Nanqin, and Beiqin, and the military forces of Jingling Division in Yingzhou. He also served as the general of Fuguo and the governor of Yongzhou, guarding Xiangyang.
At this time, Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan died of illness, and his son Xiao Baojuan succeeded him.Xiao Baojuan is fatuous and incompetent, enjoying himself all day long, and all important affairs in the court are handled by Shi'an King Xiao Yaoguang, Shang Shuling Xu Xiaosi and others.Xiao Yaoguang and other six people are known as the "six nobles". These six people do not put state affairs first, and fight openly and secretly all day long. The politics between the DPRK and China is extremely dark and corrupt.Xiao Yan learned about the situation in Xiangyang, and said to his relative Zhang Hongce: "There are many political parties, which is the beginning of the country's chaos. "The Book of Songs" says, "One country and three princes, who should I follow?" Now there are six nobles in the country, How amazing is this! I expected that the conflict between the six nobles would intensify to the point of fighting, and Xiangyang is far away from the capital, which is a good place to avoid disaster. But my younger brothers are all in the capital, I am afraid they will encounter disaster, I'm going to discuss it with my brother."
Soon, his elder brother Xiao Yi was transferred from Yizhou governor to Yingzhou to serve.Xiao Yan sent Zhang Hongce to Yingzhou to send a letter to Xiao Yi.The letter said: Now that the six nobles are fighting for power, and the suspicion between the monarch and his ministers has reached a certain level, they will be punished and killed. Once the chaos starts, the government and the opposition will collapse.We are fortunate to stay away from the capital and lead troops outside the town, so we can protect ourselves and plot big plans.Therefore, we should take advantage of the time when the imperial court has no doubts, and gather all the younger brothers together.Otherwise, once the court becomes suspicious of us, the younger brothers will have nowhere to go in the capital.Today, the elder brother is in Yingzhou and controls Jingxiang; the younger brother is in Yongzhou with tens of thousands of troops.At this time when the government is in turmoil and the government is in turmoil, it happens to be based on this to plan for great things. If the opportunity is missed, it will be too late to regret.
When Xiao Yi saw the letter, his expression changed drastically.He didn't agree with Xiao Yan's doing this, because if it didn't work out, it would lead to a catastrophe. Seeing that his brother refused, Xiao Yan welcomed his younger brothers Xiao Wei and Xiao Dan to Xiangyang alone, secretly made weapons, recruited soldiers, and cut bamboo in Xiangyang Wood, tie the boat in the Tanxi River for future use.
Xiao Yi rejected Xiao Yan's invitation, and soon entered the court as the crown prince Youwei, Shangshu Libulang, and Wei Weiqing.In the second year of Yongyuan (500 A.D.), Pei Shuye and Ya Huijing gathered people to launch a mutiny. Xiao Yi led the troops to quell the rebellion and made great contributions to the court.But instead of being rewarded, he was jealous and killed in the winter of that year.
The killing of Xiao Yi not only proved the accuracy of Xiao Yan's foresight, but also provided an opportunity for Xiao Yan to raise his troops.Xiao Yan seized this opportunity in time. After conspiring with his cronies, he summoned his troops and vowed to raise troops.Xiao Yan said to his assistants: "Now the faint king is vicious, cruel and violent, killing the sages and heroes of the court for no reason, making people miserable, and the people are in dire straits, which is not tolerated by the heavens. You and I will work together to defeat the faint king. After the event is completed, you They will be rich and powerful, they will be princes and generals, I will never break my promise!"
Everyone said in unison: "I would like to listen to your arrangement."
After taking the oath, Xiao Yan asked people to salvage the bamboo and wood from the Tanxi River to make thousands of battleships.He also summoned more than ten thousand soldiers to attack Xiao Baojuan.After killing Xiao Baojuan, Xiao Yan established the puppet emperor Xiao Baorong.A year later, he abolished the puppet emperor, ascended the throne himself, and established the Liang Dynasty.
[Comment and Analysis]
In the technique of resisting the scorpion, there is: "either to resist the opposite, or to resist it." It means that when the world can still be changed, it should be blocked by the method of resisting the scorpion;Here, Xiao Yan made a profound analysis that "many political parties are the beginning of great chaos in the country." Since the six nobles are not willing to easily withdraw from the cage of power in the court, they can only repel and attack each other in order to achieve their own goals. , This is the "bird" that can be used.When they fought against each other, only Xiao Yan benefited.At this time, it is impossible to make up for the "Yu", because it has reached the point of no return, and it is necessary to decisively attack the faint king and replace him.If you continue to stop, you will be disturbed by it.
To be able to successfully use "or resist and reply", one must have foresight, be able to see the situation clearly, and take immediate and decisive actions, which are all necessary prerequisites for success.Xiao Yi's short-sightedness brought him disaster, while Xiao Yan's long-sightedness made him ascend to the throne of God.
Go the other way to fill the gap
During the Warring States Period, Tian Ying, the youngest son of King Qiwei of Qi State, was very friendly to Qi Maongbian.Qi Mongbian was informal and often offended some people, so many of Tian Ying's disciples disliked him.Some people resented that he had ridiculed themselves, so they often said bad things about Qimaojian in front of Tian Ying. Even Tian Ying's son, Meng Changjun Tianwen, advised his father not to favor Qimaobian so much.
Tian Ying was very angry. He said to the retainers: "Even if we eradicate our family and destroy our home, as long as it can make Qi Maungju happy, I will not hesitate."
In order to show that he kept his word, Tian Ying let Qi Maungbian live in a first-class building, offered him rich food every day, and ordered his eldest son to drive for him.Everyone didn't understand Tian Ying's approach, so many diners left Tian Mansion one after another.
A few years later, King Qi Wei passed away, and his eldest son came to the throne as King Qi Xuan.The relationship between Tian Ying and his elder brother became estranged due to various reasons. Qi Xuan Wang felt that Tian Ying's stay in Qi State would be bad for him sooner or later, so he wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him.
Seeing this, Tian Ying had no choice but to stay away from King Xuan. He had no choice but to leave the capital and live in Xue, his fief. Qi Maangbian also lived with him.
Not long after, Qi Maobian said to Tian Ying: "How can this place be compared to the capital city! Do you want to live here for the rest of your life?"
Tian Ying said: "How can I be willing? But how can I go back!"
Qi Maung patted his chest and said: "Let me go to see the king."
Tian Ying panicked and said, "Your Majesty doesn't like me, you will surely die if you go."
Qi Maobian didn't listen to Tian Ying's dissuasion at all, and before leaving, asked someone to tell him: "I didn't intend to come back alive!"
Qi Maojian saw King Xuan, before he kowtowed, King Xuan asked: "I heard that you are Tian Ying's favorite and trusted person?"
Qi Maongbian said calmly: "There is love, but I never listened to it."
King Xuan of Qi snorted coldly, "You said he didn't listen to you, what evidence do you have?"
"My lord, when you were the prince, I once said to him: 'The prince's appearance is not benevolent, his cheeks are plump, and his eyes are fierce when he looks at people. Such a person will definitely hurt you in the future. Why don't you abolish the prince and appoint someone else? !' But Jing Guojun and Tian Ying said with tears: "No, I can't bear to do this." In exchange for Xue Di, I persuaded him: "You must agree to him." Jing Guojun said: "Xue Di was given to me by the former king. Although the latter king treated me badly, how could I betray the former king and the current state of Qi?" What!' So he resolutely refused to change, this is the second thing he didn't listen to me."
When King Xuan heard this, he sighed, was moved to tears, and said: "It turns out that he has such deep feelings for me! I was young and ignorant. I must ask him to forgive my disrespect for him. Now I can invite him back. ?"
So King Xuan gave Tian Ying new clothes and King Wei's sword, and asked Qi Maongjian to bring them to Tian Ying.After the two brothers met, they both shed tears.
[Comment and Analysis]
Many diners and Qi Maung had a "blindness" and slandered him in front of Tian Ying, but Tian Ying was unmoved, and instead further deepened their relationship with Qi Maung.After King Xuan succeeded to the throne, the "鞻" between brothers forced Tian Ying to stay away from the capital and return to his fiefdom.At this time, it's time to repay the kindness of "鞻" with equal appearance, just as the article says: "If there is nothing irresistible in the world, we will hide and wait for the time, and when there is something to be repaid, we will plan for it." What is amazing is the unique method of distinguishing "鞻" from the same appearance. He does not state the pros and cons, or use conspiracies and tricks like ordinary people, but uses the opposite method. On the surface, he said that Tian Ying once wanted to The matter of harming King Xuan is actually praising Tian Ying's benevolence and righteousness to King Xuan.It was precisely this abnormal remedial method that shocked King Xuan of Qi deeply and withdrew his order, and the two brothers reconciled as before.
Qi Maung discriminated against his way of "resisting and blocking it", and succeeded in making up for "鞻" with a plan of bringing the dead back to life, which also freed himself from the predicament.His clever words and eloquence put himself in a dangerous situation, and promoted Tian Ying to the position of benevolence and righteousness.This approach may seem abnormal, but it can often achieve ideal results in certain specific situations.
slander
In the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Hong's family was very poor when he was a child, and he lived a life of poverty.The so-called poverty leads to change. He studied hard, studied poetry and books hard, and after ten years of hard work, he finally became a prime minister.Although he lives above the temple and holds great power, he still maintains the frugal and fine style of his childhood in life.There is only one meat dish for meals, and the quilts used by ordinary people are used for sleeping.His servants also lamented: "My family is truly honest!"
These words soon spread to the imperial court, and the civil and military officials were deeply moved by it, but the minister Ji An didn't think so.He read a book from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and said to the emperor: "Gongsun Hong is now among the three princes. He is not as boring as he was back then. He has a considerable salary, but why does he still cover ordinary quilts and eat simple meals?"
The emperor smiled and said: "Don't everyone in the court praise him for being honest and frugal? Gongsun Hong never forgets the sufferings of the past, nor does he forget the virtues of the past!"
Ji An shook his head, and continued: "According to what I see, Gongsun Hong's actions are in essence to use fraud to gain fame, and the purpose is to defraud the reputation of frugality and integrity."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought about it and felt that it made some sense.Once, when he was in the early court, he had a chance and asked Gongsun Hong: "Ji An said that you are fishing for fame, and your frugality is deliberately showing off for everyone to see. Is what he said true?"
Gongsun Hong felt very wronged when he heard it, and just wanted to go forward to defend himself, but then he thought about it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty might be partial to it now, and preconceived that he was not really "thrifty".If he is in a hurry to explain now, all the civil and military officials will think that he is indeed "fishing for fame".Thinking about it again, this accusation is not about life, at best it will hurt one's reputation.Those who are clean are self-clear, as long as you stick to your own style, others will naturally understand in the future.Thinking of this, Gongsun Hong swallowed the grievance just now, decided not to make any excuses, and admitted that he was trying to gain fame.
He replied: "Ji An is right. Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he has a deep relationship with me, a close relationship, and a good friendship. He is the most familiar with my family life and understands me best. He What you said to the emperor hit the nail on the head and hit my heart."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought he was going to defend himself, and was quite surprised to hear these words, and asked, "Oh? Is that so?"
"I'm one of the three princes, but I only wear quilts. My standard of living is the same as that of a petty official. I'm really pretending to be incorruptible in order to gain fame." Gongsun Hong replied, "Ji An is loyal and upright. If it weren't for him, Your Majesty wouldn't know about it." In this case, I will never hear such criticism of me!"
After hearing Gongsunhong's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that he was honest and humble, and he never thought that he would praise his opponents who criticized him.Since then, I have respected him even more.When other colleagues and ministers saw that Gong Sunhong was so honest, they couldn't help but wonder how such a person would seek fame?
[Comment and Analysis]
"When a sage sees a budding hole, he will attack it with the law." Gongsun Hong used the method of repairing the hole here in order to restore his reputation.Its characteristic is that it doesn't justify its "unnecessary" "鞻", but speaks along with the situation, so the false words can be self-defeating.It can be seen that many things do not need to be explained. For those who believe in themselves, explanations are superfluous; for those who do not believe in themselves, explanations are unnecessary.Therefore, there is no need to justify some accusations, and those who are clear will clear themselves, and sometimes explanations will have a negative effect.
【Wisdom summary】
According to the explanation of "Ci Hai": "鞻" originally means precipitous and sinister, and later extended to the meaning of gap, loophole, contradiction, etc., which is used as a metaphor to give people an opportunity to take advantage of.Therefore, this article mainly talks about how to gain insight into the defects and contradictions in things, and what measures should be taken to make up or make use of them.
"Guiguzi" believes that there will be contradictions in everything. If it is not controlled, it will change from small to large, and it will be too late to remedy it.The best way to control things is to prevent in advance and have the analytical ability to size up the situation.When there is a crack, it is necessary to take timely measures to make up for it. If it is caused by internal reasons, it will be blocked, and if it is caused by external reasons, it will be necessary to eliminate external hidden dangers.
There are two types of objects for "resisting", one is "resisting" to oneself, and the other is "resisting" to others; the method of "resisting" can also be divided into two types, one is to repair , one is to use.The art of resistance is mainly based on political use, which is the so-called opportunistic and opportunistic.The method is mainly to achieve the desired purpose by exploiting the weakness or defect of the user, such as taking advantage of the other party's own "scum" such as greed for money, lust, and greed, or taking advantage of the other party's inherently suspicious, self-willed and other shortcomings to create "鞻" and so on.
From the overall point of view: the key to the successful application of the resisting technique is to conform to the law of the development and change of things. Enemies can also find ways to overcome them.
