Look after my humble abode, Corporal Li Xian.
Li Zongwu said: "Liu Bei's greatest feature is his thick skin. He has been riding a wall all his life, and he doesn't feel timid at all. The thick skin can be described as unprecedented, and there is no one after it. "
The story of "three visits to the cottage" is a household name. As an uncle at that time, Liu Bei was willing to visit the cottage for a peasant who lived in seclusion in Shan Ye. He is so thirsty for talent that he is "thick" to the extreme. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes this story wonderfully, and Li Xian's corporal Liu Bei is also regarded as a wise teacher by scholars.
Liu Bei, who was attached to Liu Biao before visiting Maolu, was depressed and never achieved anything. In a conversation with Si Mahui, a famous Jingzhou person, Liu Bei heard the name of Wolong and, with the strong recommendation of Si Mahui and Xu Shu, decided to ask him to come out and help him.
However, Liu Bei went there twice in succession, but he didn't see Zhuge Liang. Just as he was preparing to visit again for the third time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had always been puzzled by this, said to Liu Bei, "Why not call him a mere scholar?" Liu Bei loudly reprimanded and said, "When Zhou Wenwang invited Jiang Taigong, he personally went to Weishui to meet the enemy. King Wen still loves xian so much, how can I be rude? "
The reason why Liu Bei attaches so much importance to a young counselor he has never met is because the crisis of the current situation makes him feel that time waits for no one. He knew that the reason why his career was frustrated was the lack of a person to help him plan the overall situation and strategize. For him, Zhuge Liang, who is in a high position, is the lifeline for him to accomplish his great cause. Therefore, he did not hesitate to look around and said from the heart that "being alone is like a duck to water". For Liu Bei, who had neither a base nor a strong military force at that time, Corporal Li Xian was the only bargaining chip for him to occupy "human harmony" and attract talents.
Laroche believes that the most successful place of a monarch is that he can attract talents to help him. The most important thing in recruiting talents is to make him feel your sincerity. Therefore, Duke Zhou attached importance to talents by "grasping Mao three times and spitting food three times", while Cao Cao sought talents in the order of "appointing people on their merits". Only by putting on a thirsty attitude can people feel that they are valued and willing to die.
Therefore, Liu Bei went there twice and didn't see "Wolong", so there will definitely be a third time. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei met in Longzhong, and Liu Bei bought his own "thickness", which not only has Zhuge Liang's loyalty of "doing his best until he dies", but also has the protection of scholars all over the world, the love of Pang Tong, the proud "Feng Chu", and the loyalty of celebrities like Zhang Song and Fazheng, and finally realized the dream of achieving a hegemony.
Throughout history, we can find that monarchs who can succeed in their careers are often those who can gather talents and rely on the talents of others. Therefore, at the beginning, a successful monarch often salutes or pretends to be a corporal, so that they can "respond at once" and get more people's support to achieve their goals.
1642, the Ming army and the Qing army fought in Songshan. Hong Chengchou, commander-in-chief of the Ming army, was captured by the Qing army, and Huang Taiji sent Fan Wencheng to surrender. But no matter how Fan Wencheng threatened and induced, Hong Chengchou never said a word and went on a hunger strike. In the eyes of the Han people at that time, the Qing army was a barbarian from outside, and the Ming Dynasty was the orthodoxy of China. Moreover, the laws of the Ming dynasty were extremely strict at that time. If the general betrayed the court, his family would be killed. Therefore, Hong Chengchou refused to surrender no matter how the Qing soldiers persuaded him.
However, Huang taiji knew very well that the Qing army must win the support and trust of the Han people if it wants to enter the customs and establish the country. So he went to the prison to visit Hong Chengchou himself and asked, "Sir, is it cold here?" As he spoke, he took off his mink and put it on Hong Chengchou himself. Hong Chengchou was very moved and kowtowed to him.
After Huang Taiji accepted Hong Chengchou, he was very happy. He not only gave him a lot of gold, silver and jewels, but also held a big banquet to celebrate. The generals of the Qing Dynasty said unhappily, "Why does the emperor value Hong Chengchou so much?" Huang taiji said, "What are we doing in the storm?" The generals said, "Of course, I want to get the Central Plains." Huang taiji said with a smile: "We are going to enter the Central Plains, just like a blind man walking. Why am I not happy to find a guide now? "
It can be seen that the "thickness" of Corporal Lixian has a certain purpose. Liu Bei comity corporal, is to achieve their own career; Huang taiji longed for talents in order to enter the Central Plains. If a monarch doesn't know how to rally people's hearts, then he will eventually betray others and fight alone.
Break the rules, break the rules and seal the generals.
Li Zongwu believes that a monarch should not only learn to be polite and kind to talents, but also discover and appoint talents with wisdom.
As a famous historical figure in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he was called "the first phase of Qin State". He helped Qin Mugong to strengthen the national strength of Qin State and laid a good foundation for Qin State to unify the world in the future. However, such a clever man turned out to be Qin Mugong who bought five sheepskins.
In her early years, Priscilla was poor and sleepy, living the life of an official. Later, he moved to Yuzhou to be a doctor. In 655 BC, the State of Jin took advantage of Yu to attack the State of Guo. Although Prissy saw through the plot of the State of Jin to "cheat and kill Guo", she knew she was incompetent and didn't listen to the minister's advice, so she kept silent. As a result, after Jin destroyed Guo, he came back to destroy Yuzhou, and the monarch of Yuzhou and Priscilla were captured.
Later, Jin Xiangong married his daughter to Qin Mugong and sent a lot of jewels and a large group of slaves as his dowry. Prissy was among the group. However, Prissy was not willing to be a slave like this, so she found a chance to escape.
When Qin Mugong counted the dowry list, he found that a man named Prissy was missing. I didn't know that the man was an old slave until I asked, so I didn't take it to heart.
There is a man named. Knowing that Priscilla was a talented person, he went to Qin Mugong and said, "Priscilla is a rare talent, but unfortunately he has never met a wise master. I hope you don't mind his humble position and appoint him to work for Qin. " Hearing this, Qin Mugong immediately sent someone to look around for Prissy's whereabouts. It was a long time before I knew that Priscilla had gone to Chu State to herd cattle in a big family.
Qin Mugong wanted to send someone to Chu to redeem Prissy with gold and silk. Gong said, "The reason why the Chu people didn't hire Priscilla was because they didn't understand Priscilla's talents. If you exchange a large sum of money for him, the Chu people will certainly doubt, will you let him go? "
Qin Mugong nodded again and again, so he sent an envoy with five sheepskins to the king of Chu, saying, "Priscilla is a slave of our country, and he fled to your country because he committed a crime. We want to take him back for punishment and hope to get the permission of the king of Chu. " The king of Chu saw that the State of Qin had exchanged five sheepskins for an old slave who was herding cattle. He readily agreed and sent someone to take Prissy to the envoys of the State of Qin.
When Qin Mugong heard that Priscilla was coming, he immediately sent someone to meet him and asked him about state affairs. Priscilla declined again and again, saying, "I am a subjugated courtier, and I came from a humble background. How can I have the face to discuss state affairs with you? " Qin Mugong said, "The King of the State of Yu doesn't need you, so he is doomed to national subjugation. It's not your fault. " So Qin Mugong and Priscilla talked about state affairs for a few days. Qin Mugong appreciated him very much, gave all the state power to Priscilla for management, and named him "Five Doctors" when he was 70 years old. From then on, Prissy became the face of Qin State, and made great contributions to the development of Qin State.
Qin Mugong dares to appoint an old slave as his national condition, which shows that his way of employing people is deep and "thick". At that time, the Qin people were regarded as barbarians, which was not tolerated by the governors of the Central Plains, and their national strength was also very weak. For Qin Mugong, the first step for Qin to be strong is to recruit talents. So he hired Priscilla, who was unsuccessful in other countries, regardless of his identity.
Laroche thinks. For the monarch, the most important point of "being kind to others" lies in the eclecticism of employing people. If you want to achieve something great, you must have a large number of talents with different characteristics and abilities to help you. Only when the sea flows cross can it show its true colors, and only when the yellow sand blows out can it see gold. Real talents are often hidden in the yellow sand. Only by digging them out can we get more successful capital.
Xiao He said, "Those generals who have escaped are easy to get. But people like Han Xin belong to a Chinese odyssey. If Hanwang only wants to stay in Hanzhong, then there is no need for Han Xin; If you want to compete for the world, there is no better talent except Han Xin. Everything depends on how you decide. "
Liu Bang said that he also wanted to develop eastward, and he was determined to win the world. So he agreed to make Han Xin a general for Xiao He's sake, but Xiao He insisted on reuse. Liu Bang said that he could be a great general. So Liu wanted to recruit Han Xin and appoint him. Xiao He said: "Hanwang has always been arrogant to Han Xin, thinking that he is a humble person. Now you want to worship him as a general, but you are calling your own son. Han Xin feels humiliated and wants to run away. If you really want to worship him as a general, you should choose a good day, fast and bathe, and set up an altar to treat him with courtesy. "
Liu agreed to Xiao He's suggestion, appointed General Bill Han, and asked him about the strategy of the country's long-term stability. Han Xin conquered Liu Bang with his own ability, led the Han army out of Hanzhong, finally defeated Xiang Yu, helped Liu Bang establish the Western Han regime, and became an important founding hero of the Han Dynasty.
On the surface, Liu Bangfeng's Han Xin story is highly recommended by Xiao He, but the deeper reason lies in Liu Bangfeng's own evaluation of Han Xin's ability. At that time, when he was in deep trouble and alienated from others, Liu Bang used his "thickness" not only to keep Han Xin, but also to stabilize the hearts of other generals, which was an important reason for his success.
"Lala" believes that in order to survive in the world, we must be good at using all available forces around us, treat him with "thick" skin, and let him help you realize your wishes. At the critical moment of crisis, we should dare to use extraordinary means, extraordinary people and achieve extraordinary things.
Meritorious service is a trick, and Ren Xian can use energy.
The ancients said: it is difficult to know people, and people must be cautious. Correct investigation can accurately evaluate a person and properly play its due role. Therefore, wise men at all times and all over the world pay attention to examining human laws and accumulate valuable experience.
Emperor Taizong not only showed his bearing as a monarch, but also showed his meritocracy as a ruler.
Wei Zhi once fought against the Sui Dynasty with the Wagang Army led by Shi Biao. After Shi Biao failed, Wei Zhi went to the Tang Dynasty with him, but he was not reused for a long time. Later, it was quoted by Prince Li as a subordinate of the East Palace. In the fierce court struggle at that time, Li was repeatedly persuaded to preempt and get rid of it as soon as possible. However, due to his vigilance, Li never succeeded.
After the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin succeeded to the throne as Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong valued Wei Zhi's courage and ability very early, so he didn't kill Wei Zhi because he opposed himself. Instead, he personally welcomed Wei Zheng to his study, asked Wei Zhi to help him govern the world, made him an admonition officer, and often introduced him to the palace to ask about political gains and losses. Wei Zhi spoke out and put forward many pertinent suggestions for Emperor Taizong, which created a prosperous situation of "Zhenguan rule".
Not only Wei Zhi, but also many people in the hostile camp were forgiven by Emperor Taizong and received sincere treatment and attention. Such as, Cheng, et al. At the same time, he also improved the country's material selection system, which made the world's heroes come out and laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
If you want to be a successful person, you must know about talents, choose talents who can help you, and sincerely ask them for advice in order to achieve your goal. Learn to appoint talented people, and you will be more likely to succeed.
One of the important reasons why Yongzheng was able to defeat other princes in the complicated court struggle was that he United a group of sages for his own use. Although Yongzheng was famous for being suspicious, immoral and heartless after he ascended the throne, he could be described as "black" and heartless, but he also understood another truth: a monarch can only be "black" but not enough, and must be able to treat others with "thick". Therefore, as long as he is a talent, even a talent who opposes him, as long as he has nothing to do with political struggles and cronies, he will still be appointed or even promoted. This is also a highlight of Yongzheng's knowledge of people and employment.
In the first year of Yongzheng's accession to the throne, the Hanlin Academy made a detailed review of Sun Jiagan, urging Yongzheng to do three things well: kiss the flesh and blood, stop donating money, and stop the western soldiers. Under the situation that the emperor has just ascended the throne and the aftermath of the imperial court has not subsided, it is undoubtedly a great violation of the above meaning to ask the emperor to be "tolerant" and "close to his own flesh and blood" in order to "live in peace without fear of others".
Sure enough, Yong Zhengdi flew into a rage when he saw Shangshu. He circled some of the sentences that were against Shangshu, then asked Shangshu of the Ministry of War to read them and asked sternly, "Does imperial academy allow this madness?" Zhu Shi, the suggestion of Zuodu, replied: "Jia Gan is sincere and crazy, but he succumbed to his courage." Yong Zhengdi pondered for a long time after listening, and suddenly smiled brightly: "I'll take it." Not only did he not blame him at all, but he also ordered him to take the post of Shuntian Division after having obtained the provincial examination, and proposed to promote imperial academy Division.
Since then, Sun Jiagan has written many times, and Yong Zhengdi once argued with Jiuqing: "Since I acceded to the throne, Sun Jiagan has been eloquent, which can be described as outspoken and full of remonstrance. Instead of refusing to be angry, I have been kind, so you and your ministers should regard it as law. "
In the fifth year of Yongzheng, during Sun Jiagan's tenure as a wine-serving official in imperial academy, it was easy to have a dispute with the governor of Zhili due to financial problems. Yong Zhengdi fully supported Sun Jiagan and accused Yi Zhaoxiong of saying, "Sun Jiagan is definitely not harassing local people who pursue profits. Why don't you wait for this! " Soon, Sun Jiagan was appointed as Shuntian magistrate and assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Whether it is the appointment of a prince around him or the appointment of Sun Jiagan after he ascended the throne, it can reflect Yongzheng's unique method of knowing people and employing people. For Yongzheng, what he needs most is talents who can really help him accomplish great things, not nominal flatterers. According to historical records, "once in Yongzheng, there was no official and unclear", which shows how good Yongzheng was at knowing people and employing people.
Li Zongwu believes that you should learn to find and choose talents who can really help you realize your career, not some flatterers. If a person wants to achieve great things, he must distinguish the difference between Chu sages and villains, attach importance to and reuse those sages, and thus achieve his own goals.
A good host knows them before showing them.
Lala believes that the best time for a good leader to employ people is to see their potential and ability with his own eyes when their wisdom has not yet appeared, and make appropriate appointments for them, so that he can get more support and achieve great things.
Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, was able to become the king of the world from a young man, which was inseparable from his good knowledge of people.
Chen Ping, one of three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty, made an important contribution to the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty. However, when he was a child, his family was very poor, and he was spared from starvation under the care of his brother. After the anti-Qin uprising broke out, Chen Ping went to Lin Ji to defect to Wang Wei, and later transferred to Xiang Yu as a counselor, but was frustrated because he failed to get the attention of Xiang Yu.
In the spring of 205 BC, Sima Yi defected from Chu to Han, and Xiang Yu was angry with Chen Ping. Chen Ping was not only scolded by Xiang Yu, but also his plan was no longer adopted. Seeing that Xiang Yu was a reckless warrior, it was impossible to win in the end, so he hung a seal and went to his old friend Wei Ignorance.
Under the ignorant introduction of Wei, I met Hanwang Liu Bang. Liu Bang appreciated Chen Ping's ability very much, and immediately named Chen Ping as a captain, "to make him join in and protect the army." Chen Ping suddenly became a trusted minister of Liu Bang.
When other generals saw Chen Ping's success but failed, they all complained about it. They said to Liu Bang, "Your Majesty got a soldier from the State of Chu. He didn't know his character and ability, so he made him a captain and took him with him to take care of the three armed forces. This is too flattering. He is afraid of losing the old general's heart. "
Liu bang was unmoved by rumors, but trusted Chen Ping more. He said to the generals, "Chen Ping is resourceful, but Xiang Yu doesn't value him. Now he has an empty ambition, but there is no place to display it, so he came to me. How can such a person betray me? "
Later, Chen Ping used stratagem to alienate Xiang Yu and his main counselor Fan Zeng, which made great contributions to the unification of the world in the Han Dynasty, thus proving Liu Bang's unique insight into people.
According to larded school, the so-called wise people are those who can survive in the world with their own wisdom and help others achieve their careers with their own talents. A successful person should have a unique vision, find Baoyu from a pile of broken tiles, and use it for his own use before its light appears.
At the end of Qin Dynasty, there was an old gentleman named Li Shiqi in Chenliu County, Henan Province. He liked reading and reading widely since he was a child, but he came from a humble background and finally became a small official in the county government. But he is honest and upright, and often likes to talk about human affairs, which is called crazy life by the locals.
Later, heroes from all walks of life fought against the tyranny of Qin. They knew that their chance to display their talents had come, so they looked around for people who could appoint them. Wait until Liu Bangling troops to the outskirts of Chen Liu. Li heard that he valued talents, so he wanted to go to him.
Liu bang was washing his feet when the doorman told him that a Confucian scholar asked for an audience. Liu Bang has always despised Confucian scholars and once insulted them with their hats as urinals. So when I heard that it was a Confucian scholar, I asked someone to send it away. Li Shiqi said to the doorman, "I'm not a Confucian scholar, I'm a drinker of Levin!" " Hearing this, Liu Bang felt that this man was not an ordinary person and called him in.
When Shi Li heard Liu Bang's call, he came in and saw Liu Bang leaning on the bed to wash his feet. Bowed to him and said, "Don't you want to punish Qin?" Why should we treat the elderly with such an arrogant attitude? Do you want to help Qin attack the vassals, or do you want to lead the vassals to break Qin? "Liu bang was asked at a loss, immediately put down his feet, got up and adjusted his skirt, apologized to Shi Li, and sincerely asked him for advice.
Li Shiqi endlessly analyzed the world situation. After listening to Li Shiqi's analysis, Liu Bang was very appreciative. He thought he was a rare wizard, so he held a banquet for Li Shiqi and asked him about world affairs.
Li Shiqi said to Liu Bang at the banquet: "What you have gathered are only scattered soldiers who have no formal military training, and the number is still very small. Trying to attack the powerful state of Qin with such a small force is simply sending sheep into the jaws of death and will not succeed. Instead of fighting Qin Jun, you should constantly expand your forces and occupy important places. Liu Chen is a fortress in the world, with roads extending in all directions and sufficient food in the city. I happen to have some acquaintance with Sheriff Liu Chen. Let me persuade him to surrender to you. "
Liu Bang adopted Shi Li's suggestion, and Liu Chen was captured soon. In recognition of his achievements, he named Shi Li Hongjun.
Knowing people before they are obvious is a sign of foresight. Li Zongwu believes that knowing people and employing people is inseparable from the moral kindness and ingenuity of leaders. Knowing people is the first step to success. Being able to select the talents you need from the chaotic situation requires leaders to be good at observing talents and know how to identify talents. It is difficult for a person who doesn't know how to know people and employ people to achieve great things.
Governors have no seeds, so they know people and make good use of them.
Since ancient times, the way to be a monarch lies in employing people; The first thing is to know people. If a person wants to sit firmly in the world, he must be able to know people well and make emotional investments in his subordinates. Only in this way can we unite a group of forces loyal to ourselves, find our place in the complicated political situation and realize our great cause.
Cao Cao, known by Li Zongwu as the "founder of the Black School", is an extraordinary master who treats people with kindness and makes good use of people. Later generations commented on Cao Cao's employment and mentioned: "One official is wise and effective, and the power is divided into one county. Regardless of size, everyone is outstanding. " This shows Cao Cao's ability to recognize people and employ people.
In 200 AD, Yuan Shao, a priest in Jizhou, led an army across the Yellow River and confronted Cao Cao's army in Guandu. At that time, Yuan Shao's strength was far above that of Cao Cao, so many people thought it would be a one-sided war.
Yuan Shao put his rations in the nest and sent general Chunyu Qiong to guard it. Just then, Yuan Shao's counselor Xu You's men caught the messenger sent by Cao Cao to Xuchang to deliver letters. When Xu You saw Yuan Shao, he said, "Today, there will be no soldiers in Xuchang. If we send troops to sneak attack overnight, then Xuchang can capture the first world war. Now that Cao Cao's grain has been used up, we can take this opportunity to attack on both sides. " Yuan Shao did not agree with this. Xu You made a painful suggestion, but Yuan Shao didn't listen. Just then, Shen Pei wrote another letter to Yuan Shao, claiming that Xu You's family was arrested and imprisoned for taking bribes. Yuan Shao flew into a rage and drove Xu You out of the barracks.
Xu You had no choice but to go to Cao Cao. Cao Cao and Xu You are old friends and know that Xu You is a talented person. Hearing that he was coming to vote, they quickly stood on tiptoe to say hello, holding Xu You's hand and saying excitedly, "My big event can be achieved!" " After that, I fell to the ground. Xu You quickly lifted Cao Cao up and said, "Cao Gong, you are the prime minister of the big fellow, and I am just a cloth. Why are you so humble to me? " Cao Cao said, "Yuan Shao has no plan, so he let your advisers go without a plan. Now you know everything about Yuan Shao. How can I break the enemy? " Xu You was very moved and told Cao Cao about Yuan Shao's regulations. Cao Cao then sent elite soldiers to raid the Bird's Nest, burned Yuan Shao's grain and grass, turned the tide in one fell swoop, and created the famous battle of "winning more with less".
The different endings of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in this war can be seen from their attitudes towards scholars. Yuan Shao, who is pretentious, is not good at employing people, and greets outspoken advisers with a "bad face", which leads to constant internal struggles in his camp; However, Cao Cao did not despise Xu You because he was demoted, but made good use of people, United internal forces with "thick" feelings, and finally defeated the arrogant Yuan Shao with the superb wisdom and excellent strategy of the counselors and won the war.
Mr. Li Zongwu believes that a leader's ability is not an important factor that determines his fate. A wise leader is a person who is good at knowing people, employing people and serving himself with the wisdom of others.
Wei Qing, a famous soldier in the Han Dynasty, was a slave of the Hou family in Pingyang. He was severely criticized and humiliated. On one occasion, Wei Qing followed others into the palace. An official saw him and said, "You are poor now, and you will be a noble person in the future, so the official was appointed." Wei Qing said with a smile, "As a slave, I just want to avoid being scolded. I am very lucky. How can we talk about meritorious service and honor? "
Later, Wei Qing's sister Wei Zifu was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Wei Qing was able to serve in the palace and often met with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In frequent contact with Wei Qing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Wei Qing's superb riding skills. Moreover, Wei Qing was familiar with military theory, and talked with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty about the strategy of fighting, which greatly appreciated Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought he was a rare general, so he was promoted to be a doctor of Taizhong.
At the beginning of 29 BC/KLOC-0, tarquin invaded Shanggu County on a large scale. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had already made full preparations, ignored the opposition of his ministers and used young Wei Qing as a cycling general. At that time, the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty were very worried about this arrangement of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, the result of the war was completely unexpected. Three of the generals who attacked Route 4 were defeated, only Wei Qing went straight ahead and tarquin fled in defeat. With this victory, Wei Qing became the arm minister of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
Facts have proved that if you want to be a wise monarch, you must first know people and talents, and then seek and use talents. It embodies the logical connotation of the way of employing people. The complex reality requires you to observe and analyze people carefully and not be confused by some superficial phenomena, so as to achieve the realm of knowing people and being good at their duties.
