Chapter 294 Showing off is risky (2)
Zhao Bing came from an era when internet celebrities emerged, so he naturally knew that life was like a big show. Showing is of great use, and small use.? Used in small ways can earn fame and praise; using in large ways can become the trend of the people's will and the people's hearts. But it is also a double-edged sword, which can bring honor, money, and beauty, but it can also bring disasters and even a catastrophe. So in his opinion, whether it is a show or a famous person, the key is secret and knowing how to stop when you can.
This is different from seeking fame and reputation. If you are seen through by everyone during a show, the outcome will be bad. If you want to hype yourself, you must at least be a little tough. If you are famous, it is actually difficult to get rid of it. Of course, it is not difficult to achieve real price. If you have a specialty in your career, you always have a skill. If you don’t act cute, you will always be able to play tricks! If you can’t sell your silly strength, you will not be unfamiliar.
In order to save his life, Zhao Bing also performed several shows. He used his previous life experience to cure Liu Fu and the patients on the ship, and used the storm bottle to plot the pursuit of Yuan army. He used the historical knowledge he had mastered in the court to predict that Mongolia would retreat northward and would be defeated in counterattack. He also offered favors in Guangzhou when he "extorted violent taxes" to stabilize the hearts of the people and prevented the civil unrest. He also showed off a few moves in Qiongzhou, which was to improve his prestige and warn his subordinates. Although there were twists and turns, they all achieved success, but they were based on real materials and no deception.
Besides, Wang Mang was already the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty through several big shows. After mastering the government affairs, his nature gradually became revealed. The evil people from ancient times to the present had no label on their faces. However, these people were doing everything they could to achieve the goal of gaining personal gain, and sometimes even acted more gentlemen than gentlemen. Therefore, he was humble and cautious at that time, and was famous all over the world, civil and military, and all the people in the world were fooled by him. Bai Juyi wrote a poem that was well written: Zhou Duke was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and respectful to the corporals. If he asked him to die at that time, who would know the loyal and honest throughout the ages?
If Wang Mang stopped at this time, he would definitely be among the famous ministers of all ages. But Wang Mang had lost his way and thought he could deceive everyone in the world, so he forgot how many bowls of dry rice he could eat. In order to please the Empress Dowager, he demoted all the Empress Dowager Fu, who usually offended her, and caused many people to commit suicide. The Empress Dowager was full of joy and thought that Wang Mang had angered for her. In fact, this was Wang Mang clearing the way for him to further seize power in the future.
He neither knew how to fight nor govern the country and safeguard the people. In order to consolidate his position, he still relied on show. He secretly sent people to Yizhou to tell the local officials that he would bribe the barbarians outside the border, pretend that the Yue Shang family came to the court to pay tribute, and then made a big fuss based on this, saying that the submission of ethnic minorities was all Wang Mang's credit, and the Han Dynasty would be stable only with Wang Mang. Now it seems that this show uses the word-of-mouth advertising method. One transmission is ten, ten transmissions a hundred, and lies are repeated a thousand times and the truth becomes the truth.
After that, Wang Mang made full use of Zuoxiu to eliminate locust plagues by relying on bitter meat schemes, using retreat to advance, let his daughter become the queen, imitating Zhou Gong to pray for the sick emperor's birthday. Finally, after the emperor's death, he held the young emperor and became "Zhou Gong", and then made local officials make a big show to make an unprecedented show and send himself to the throne of the emperor. In this way, a natural master of Zuoxiu stole the Han world. This is the peak state of Zuoxiu's life, and no one can match it from ancient times to the present.
Unfortunately, people who are used to show work are like drug users who are addicted to it, quit physically, and still have their heart addiction. As soon as the new dynasty was established, Wang Mang began to reform. To put it bluntly, it was still a show. In the early stage of the reform, Wang Mang firmly believed that he could succeed, but the result was internal and external difficulties, which eventually led to chaos in the world. In the critical moment when the rebel army attacked Chang'an, Wang Mang still believed in the destiny, and he made the last show of his own life. He led his ministers to the southern suburbs of Chang'an, crying to the sky, and everyone who cried sorrows were granted official positions. However, he was still killed by a businessman in the hiding dark room. The show ended up paying the price of his life and finally making laughs in history...
Who doesn't want to succeed? Zhao Bing also carefully studied such a wonderful case back then, but he gave up because he really didn't have that thick skin and talent. But he also knew that he had achieved success that everyone envied with his talent of "learning but not observing". But when they grew up, their thinking patterns and handling things had been fixed, forming a stable and unchanging routine. When their way of thinking coincided with the development of objective things, they often did a lot of things naturally.
However, it was when Wang Mang was doing things that he relied on his own feelings rather than rational analysis, so that he could not re-examine his successful experience rationally, and could not sublimate his experience into rational understanding and guide his new round of competition. He would certainly fail by taking things only by taking it for granted and old experience.
Zhao Bing knew his strength. His success at this time was based on his previous life's experience and insights. There were many lucky elements, including more of them, such as adapting to changes and judging things. He was still very superficial in the long-term planning, especially lacking a deep understanding of the development strategy. Moreover, he was "timid" by nature and soft-hearted, which was a fatal weakness of those who did big things. In addition, his talent was limited, and he had to rack his brains to manage the general's mansion. Letting him barely lead a country would be a misleading country.
The fundamental reason why Zhao Bing was afraid of the throne was that he knew that the throne was a time bomb at this moment, and maybe it would explode some time. What is the difference between sitting on it every day and waiting for death? In addition, the failure of his previous life made him no longer want to take responsibility. So everything he did before was to save his life, and to make himself feel more comfortable and comfortable. If it weren't for knowing the danger of Champa, he would rather go to Chen Yizhong to fight for the former station, and whoever likes to be the emperor would go.
