How did Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty act as a leader without authority
People are often prone to indulge in the trap of "impulse consumption". Once the poor were rich, they squandered their wealth at will; Once a person of low status has power, he cannot restrain himself from consuming it; Once the children of the poor family cling to the powerful, they will ostentatiously consume the ...... relationshipIf you can properly control your inner desires, you can be called a master.
In the 5,000-year history of China, although there are not many such figures, they still appear occasionally. When it comes to power and strategy, Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Xuan of Han in the Western Han Dynasty are the best. Emperor Wen of Han's mode of operation and coping strategies have been detailed in previous articles, and today I will share with you the story of Emperor Xuan of Han, how he surpassed ordinary people.
The life of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is full of ups and downs, which is worth pondering.
The wheel of fortune, who can ** the direction in which it rotates? Even Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ai, never expected that he would fall into the whirlpool of fate. While he was waiting to be fed, his grandfather Liu Ju was forced to rebel, he was innocently thrown into prison, and fate seemed to push him into the abyss.
If it is a blessing to be born in the royal family, then how many people are willing to have such a blessing for a child like Liu Aiji, who was thrown by fate? He is helpless, just abandoned by fate in prison, who can get justice for him?
According to common sense, Liu Ai may face the fate of death, which is the silent judgment of fate on him. However, the world is impermanent, and there are some fateful situations that we cannot solve, but if we are lucky enough to meet noble people, they may be able to help us untie the knot of our troubles.
Liu Ai has met the most important person in his life in prison - the prison warden Bing Ji. In the dark prison environment, Bing Ji remained optimistic and benevolent, he sympathized with Liu's illness, who was still drinking milk, and found a female prisoner to be his wet nurse, and arranged a better single room for them.
However, the close ministers of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that Chang'an Prison had the spirit of the Son of Heaven and should be taken precautions in advance. But in fact, these people only instigated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to kill the crown prince Liu Yiyi. In desperation, Emperor Wu of Han accepted this suggestion and decided to execute the people in prison.
But at this time, Bing Ji stood up and saved his life on the grounds that Liu Yi was already the bloodline of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. As it turned out, Bing Ji's ingenuity paid off, and Emperor Wu of Han continued to reflect on himself after forcing the crown prince to death, and finally decided to pardon Liu Aiji.
However, although Liu has been freed, he is still unable to choose his future. Luckily, Bing Ji decided to put him in foster care with his grandmother, giving him hope of life.
To sum up, Liu's survival is the result of the joint efforts of many factors.
Why didn't Huo Guang choose Liu Ai as soon as Liu Fuling died? Think about this question clearly, and you will understand how important the identity of Genzheng Miaohong is.
After Liu Yi became the emperor, his wisdom and ability were truly brought into play. His experience tells us that one should not act blindly and self-righteously when there is no suitable environment and conditions to realize one's ideals.
Your talents and ideas can only be buried without a proper stage and audience. Liu He's lesson made him deeply realize that Huo Guang could not be touched before he became Wu Song of the Western Han Dynasty.
Therefore, when Huo Guang was alive, the interaction between Liu Ai and Huo Guang was full of temptation and competition, and every time the result was that Liu Ai had taken the initiative to back down.
Huo Guang's wife instructed the imperial physician Chun Yuyan to poison his wife, Xu Pingjun, which made Huo Guang furious. This kind of hatred of killing wives and children is intolerable, how can Huo Guang not be angry?
However, because he was afraid of Huo Guang, he could only order a thorough investigation of the imperial physician Chun Yuyan to the end, releasing a signal that he did not want to be in the company of anyone who might threaten his power.
Huo Guang understood that although he didn't dare to touch the big tiger Huo Guang, he couldn't let a lackey like Chun Yuyan go. In order to protect his own forces, Huo Guang said that the matter ended here, and expressed his attitude of obedience to Liu Ai.
He knew that his status and power were given by Huo Guang's face, and he would strictly implement any instructions from Huo Guang, and he would never let Huo Guang feel that he was an outsider.
All of Huo Guang's actions are to make his daughter Huo Chengjun the queen. Liu Yi already understood this, so he immediately made Huo Chengjun the queen.
After Liu Ai became emperor, he wanted to give his grandfather and father a nice nickname as a way to comfort them and make him a spirit in heaven. However, Huo Guang was unwilling to give even this kind of small comfort, and directly gave his grandfather Liu Ju and father Liu Jin the nicknames of "戾" and "mourning".
Huo Guang's meaning is very clear: your grandfather's rebellion is unrepentant, and your father's punishment is a fear of guilt and confession. I put you on the throne, you have to listen to me, if you want to use your identity to make political articles, you must first get my consent.
Liu Aiji's dignity was trampled on so nakedly by Huo Guang, wasn't he angry? What would happen if you were insulted like this? However, anger does not solve the problem, Liu Ai has said, evil is evil, something is better than nothing, we must be content and happy.
Eat from Huo Guang's pot, and then complain in turn that the food given by Huo Guang is not delicious? Unless you've made up your mind not to eat what you eat. This is enlightenment, this is reason.
Don't praise "bloodiness" too much, in fact, bloodiness and impulsiveness are often the same thing. You don't have enough ability and strength, but you show blood, and the result will only make people think that you are impulsive.
The clever thing about Liu Aiji is that he is more transparent than everyone else at that time. Uncle Huo's strength should not be underestimated, as long as he is alive, confronting him is like a mantis arm blocking the car.
We can't fight against him, we can only find ways to survive, after all, he is a **lake. After Huo Guang's death, Liu Ying had decisively seized the opportunity and acted quickly. This not only shows that he is very precise in the rhythm and timing of his work, but also shows that he is a delicate and steady master.
He cleverly used Zhang Anshi's power to gradually disintegrate the power of the Huo Group. Zhang Anshi's second-in-command identity can not only reduce resistance, but also confuse the Huo family's sight.
After Huo Guang's death, it was logical for Zhang Anshi to take over Huo Guang's power, and the Huo family did not have suspicions. Liu Ai has first promoted Zhang Anshi's position to take charge of all affairs and the highest administrative power.
Later, for some reasons, he promoted Zhang Anshi to the right general, and at the same time promoted Huo Yu to the nominal Great Sima, so as to deprive Huo Yu of control of the capital.
For the children of the Huo family who held important positions in the capital, Liu Ai had already sent them to serve in the local area for various reasons, so that they could not pose a threat to the capital. Liu's strategy is to plan and then act, which is both methodical and leaky, far better than those opponents who do things based on emotions.
Liu Ai's power has caused the Huo family, which has been entrenched in the Western Han Dynasty for decades, to ashes, but his image is not sinister or deep because of this. On the contrary, he showed an affectionate image with "deep love for the old sword", and won people's respect and love with his clear grievances, generosity and benevolence.
He was concerned about the survival and livelihood of the common people, and took measures to curb land annexation and help the poor people to become state households again. Liu Ai's success lies not only in his strategy, but also in his multifaceted achievements and rich qualities.
Liu Aiji, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was known for his outstanding military prowess and statecraft. When he was young, he subjugated the Xiongnu, encompassed the Western Regions, broke the Western Qiang, successfully maintained the hegemony of the Western Han Dynasty in the East, and set up the Western Regions Protectorate.
His ideas of governing the country are profound and soft, and he pays attention to resting with the people, lightly dispensing with the meager endowments, reducing foreign wars, allowing the people to produce with peace of mind, and actively participating in the country's economic construction.
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's imperial technique is strikingly similar to his ancestor Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, as if it is a kind of historical reincarnation.
The art of the emperor is actually a kind of management and leadership, although the application scenario is larger, but it is not far away. Let's analyze the essence of Emperor Xuan of Han's management and the wisdom of Liu Aiji.
The first point of Liu Aiji's brilliance is that he never regards accidental luck as an inevitable fate. If something suddenly comes to us, we should cherish and be grateful, instead of thinking that it is owed to us by others and that we can do whatever we want.
This can also be understood as being down-to-earth, because Liu He is not grounded, and he has done too much as soon as he took over. Do you really think that Huo Guang has the ability to help you get up, so he doesn't have the ability to pull you off the horse?
Liu He was deposed because his consciousness was too low. And Liu was ill, he never thought of being an emperor before he was eighteen years old. But after Liu He was deposed, a large pie suddenly fell on his head.
If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely be pleasantly surprised, but he quickly figured out that the reason why this big cake fell on his head was because his predecessor Liu He didn't know how to cherish it.
Therefore, he must cherish it and be grateful. The luck that Uncle Huo gave him was not that he deserved it, nor that Uncle Huo owed him in his previous life, so he had to listen to Uncle Huo's words well, make progress every day, and never disappoint Uncle Huo's good intentions.
What is the second outstanding feature of Liu Aiji? That is, he can bear a certain amount of injustice, understand to find opportunities in injustice, and strengthen his strength. This may seem simple, but it's actually very difficult.
Because most people can't control their inner desires, and the excessive expansion of desires is often the main reason why people can't afford injustice. In life, we will find a strange phenomenon, that is, there are many people who can live a difficult life but cannot live a good life.
Why is that? Because when a person is in a difficult situation, he must endure the injustice, whether he can bear it or not; However, once he lived a good life, he began to be impetuous, and he had lived such a good life, why should he suffer injustice?
Where is my happiness, freedom, and prestige? He thought about it a lot, but never thought of the idea, and finally started messing around until he got back to square one. Do you think Liu Ai is really willing to be a puppet emperor?
He was definitely unwilling, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many conflicts and temptations between him and Huo Guang. Since he has always wanted to hold power in his heart, why should he tolerate Huo Guang in every way?
That's where his brilliance comes in.
Life is always full of countless challenges and difficulties, and how we deal with them is the key to our success. First of all, we need to be clear about our abilities and goals, so that our abilities and ideas can be matched, so as to avoid the generation of utopian dreams.
At the same time, when our ability is not enough to support our own ideas, we need to endure some difficulties and grievances, which is to strengthen ourselves, consume the advantages of our opponents, and wait for opportunities.
Liu Yi is a good example, he knows that his ability is not enough to fight Huo Guang, but he chooses to endure Huo Guang's poisoning and insults in order to buy time for his victory.
Only such a person can truly achieve his goals and achieve his own career.
Liu Aiji's genius lies in the fact that he is good at taking advantage of the enemy's internal contradictions and advantages to weaken his power. He co-opted Zhang Anshi, the second-in-command of the Huo Group, and used his influence to suppress the Huo family.
At the same time, most of the ** people of the Huo family are mediocre and incompetent, so that Liu Yi has been able to reap the benefits. He is not risk-taking, not aggressive, is able to solve the biggest problems with the least cost, and is a true leader.
The secret of Liu Aiji's workplace counterattack can be summarized into three steps: first, he makes the other party completely accept himself and eliminate prevention and resistance by showing goodwill, gratitude and obedience; secondly, he uses infinite cooperation to gain time, exhausting his opponent's energy, while secretly accumulating strength; In the end, he seized the opportunity of his opponent's leaderless group and made a decisive attack, dividing and disintegrating his opponent from within, so as to minimize his own costs.
Sometimes, we are suddenly promoted to leadership in a short period of time, but because of the lack of actual power, it is easy to make wrong decisions, resulting in insufficient leadership skills. It takes time and prestige to build power, and even if you're one of the lucky ones promoted, it's hard to compete with the landlord.
In such a situation, neither toughness nor weakness will solve the problem. The establishment of leadership authority takes time and patience, just like a cat playing with a mouse, a mouse can neither fight nor run, but can only be left to the cat to play.
Leaders who lack real power are like rats, who can neither be tough nor weak or incompetent. Therefore, we need to be patient and hard enough to become true leaders.
So, can a leader of a lower status change his own destiny? In this process of defeating the strong with the weak, every step needs to be cautious, and one step cannot be wrong.
Because Game of Thrones is the game with the least margin for error in the world, you can't resurrect or do it all over again, you have to do it the first time. So, how should we do it?
First of all, when you arrive at your new position, be sure to express your gratitude to those heroes and bigwigs who will promote you, praise for praise, raise for salary increase, and don't be stingy.
Because these things are not completely under your control for the time being, in fact, it is a sign of gratitude. Second, you need to convince them that you will not harm their vested interests when you take office.
Over time, they will let their guard down when they confirm that you are a grateful person. Finally, don't be too gentle all the time, and do small gestures appropriately.
The purpose of these small actions is not to get much benefit, but to tell them that although I am now a "mud bodhisattva", I have my own ideas and bottom lines, and they need to think about it clearly, don't cross my bottom line, otherwise we will go our separate ways.
Remember, a leader who can't control the bottom line of his subordinates can't control them.
The third step is to have the ability to analyze the strength of the opponent and the situation of the team, and formulate a targeted strategy. Can't defeat them because their leadership is too strong? Or is it because of high team cohesion?
Or do they have a common sentiment of resistance? In short, it is necessary to find out the crux of the problem, but there must be no complacency until the problem is found. Once you've found the crux of the problem, you can develop a strategy based on the problem.
Your leader is better than mine, and I will wait for you to retire; Your team has high cohesion, so I will win over some people, isolate some people, and create internal contradictions; If you have a misunderstanding about me, I will try to eliminate it.
Step 4: Find the most favorable time to decide the winner. In the previous process, you have been accumulating strength by virtue of your status as a leader, while the opponent is decreasing in strength due to identity limitations.
In this case, once you outnumber your opponent or have enough strength to fight your opponent, you have to seize the opportunity and strike decisively. This kind of attack should not completely defeat the opponent, but should unite a group of people who can be united to fight against another group of people who cannot be united, which is called borrowing strength.
The advantage of this is that even if you completely defeat your opponents, your team will not fall apart because of this, and you can continue to lead them.
In the face of adverse situations, we should learn to create momentum before making moves. In martial arts dramas, when the real masters are dueling, there is often a long silent confrontation, which makes the audience anxious, but in fact, they are building momentum for the next duel.
Most of those who rush forward without saying a word are novices. While I don't want my articles to be full of intrigue, history is often gloomy and heavy.
Therefore, I sincerely hope that everyone will pay attention to the benevolence and open-mindedness of Liu Aiji, a rare Ming Jun, rather than the tricks he used.
