Zhu Yuanzhang told fortune as a beggar.

Anyone who is a little familiar with history knows that historical records since ancient times will follow such a law: great men must have great legends! Even when he is useless, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor.

As we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang was a beggar for several years. But strangely, Zhu Yuanzhang never denied it after he proclaimed himself emperor. Why? This is analyzed from the life and death of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang deny that he was a beggar? Look at these historical records. If you are, you are not.

From the analysis of Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, although he is violent as a tiger, he is a sincere person on the whole. He is him, so the probability that Zhu Yuanzhang himself hides and beautifies himself as a beggar is very low.

However, although Zhu Yuanzhang managed his own life, he could not manage the life behind him. Therefore, being a beggar after Zhu Yuanzhang's death became a problem that must be solved in the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a monk for several years. As a result, his history of begging and becoming a monk overlapped.

In this regard, Mr. Wu Han, a famous expert on Ming history in China, once joked that it was clearly Huang Jue Temple in Jong Li, but it was Jinding Temple in Emei Mountain, Congress Temple in Tiantai Mountain and Putuo Temple. Anyway, the monk has no native place and can't be found; Talking about a set of hall renovation, bodhisattva opening the light or giving alms with gold, all of which are a fortune. Many a mickle makes a mickle, and several hundred will take a while.

Let's just say the meaning of the above paragraph: Can becoming a monk be called begging? Of course not, it's called merit! Based on this argument, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became a beggar and a legend.

According to Ming Taizu, after Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk in Huang Jue Temple, he had to beg for a job because "the monk didn't give him food, but sent him to travel around", and started the "road of merit".

On that day, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Hefei and met two people wearing purple clothes. They obviously get along well, so they go hand in hand. It happened that Zhu Yuanzhang fell ill because he was hungry and tired. Looking at the man in purple, without further ado, he took off his clothes and put them on Zhu Yuanzhang-a miracle happened and Zhu Yuanzhang's condition began to improve.

So three people went to a dilapidated temple. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was really tired, the purple robe man let him rest in the temple and said, "You wait here first, and we will pick you up in three days."

Zhu Yuanzhang waited in the temple and recovered after three days, but the two purple clothes did not come back. Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to continue begging-no, continue to make contributions. In this way, he came all the way to the border of Lu 'an and looked up and saw an old pedant carrying heavy objects.

Zhu Yuanzhang is kind-hearted, which means to recite things for this old pedant. But the old pedant refused, but promised to go together. In this way, two people came to rest under a big locust tree in Zhusha Town.

At this time, the old pedant looked Zhu Yuanzhang up and down and suddenly exclaimed, "It's amazing, it's amazing, two flashes come out from the top of the head. To tell the truth, I am actually a very powerful fortune teller. Hurry up and report your birthday, let me see! "

Zhu Yuanzhang told the truth. The old pedant counted and exclaimed, "If you think you are rich, please go to the northwest instead of the southeast!" Say that finish, the old pedant bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very strange All right, I'll go to the northwest. But Zhu Yuanzhang was disappointed and the road was calm. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang did "merit" for three years and returned to Huang Jue Temple with a begging job. But then a miracle happened. "Shang (Zhu Yuanzhang)' s living room has plural lights at night, and all the monks are amazed! "

Now to analyze the record of Zhu Yuanzhang, a beggar, there is obviously a key question: who are those two people in purple clothes?

Unfortunately, no one knows, but it's definitely not human. And their appearance is obviously to save Zhu Yuanzhang, who once put his clothes on the sick Zhu Yuanzhang. This should be called "dressing help" As a result, this is why the old pedant at the back exclaimed Zhu Yuanzhang, told his fortune, went back to Huang Jue Temple, slept at night and put the lamp in his room.

Then why did Zhu Yuanzhang never deny that he was a beggar? After reading the above records, it is obvious that if it were you, you wouldn't. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang saw it when he was alive, it is estimated that he would not say anything for two reasons.

One conforms to the historical routine and is much more real than other historical figures. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang once begged, lived a hard life, and even almost died of illness. Fortunately, he was saved by a good man.

Secondly, it tells why Zhu Yuanzhang can show extraordinary talent once he joins the Red Scarf Army. After more than three years of life and death experience, Wan Li journey. If you give him space to play, he will naturally show his extraordinary knowledge, which is actually an accumulation!

seek

Zhu Yuanzhang has rich experience. He not only begs for a living, but also becomes a monk. In the eyes of many people, what can beggars do? If you are really capable, how can you become a beggar? It can only be said that things are unpredictable, and we have never experienced what others have experienced. It is really unwise to judge another person by the words of one family.

Of course, some people are beggars for a while, while others are beggars for life. Zhu Yuanzhang is the former. How did he climb from beggar to emperor step by step? One thing is very important, that is ambition!

If a person has no ambition, no pursuit and enjoys it, it is difficult for such a life to become better. Even if there is a huge opportunity in front of them, they will think twice before acting, and finally they will be indifferent and miss the opportunity.

What did Zhu Yuanzhang rely on from beggar to emperor? With these advantages, it is difficult to succeed.

Because of his tragic experience from childhood, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly made up his mind, "Be sure to become a master, so that people who looked down on themselves before can have a good look." . With this belief, coupled with the destruction of life, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition is becoming more and more grand. From the initial satiety to becoming a man, to dominating the world and becoming an emperor, if you have no ambition and your ability is outstanding, you can only give advice to others.

Of course, ambition alone is not enough. Ambition is only a catalyst to accelerate our success. What really works is "behavior". So how did Zhu Yuanzhang do it?

Long-term vision

After Zhu Yuanzhang decided to join the army with his good friend Tang He, his series of behaviors showed us his good side. If you want to make great achievements, you must make corresponding efforts. When Zhu Yuanzhang went forward bravely on the battlefield and rewarded meritorious deeds, Zhu Yuanzhang always rewarded other comrades.

Some people think that Zhu Yuanzhang is not greedy, and Bian Xiao thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang is "greedy"! Zhu Yuanzhang is not greedy for money, but "trust".

In short, Zhu Yuanzhang can gain the trust, respect and love of people around him. In the long run, Zhu Yuanzhang will become a person they all respect. What are the properties compared with these? At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's life style gradually emerged, which also showed that he was no stranger to the soldiers around him.

Therefore, we should learn from Zhu Yuanzhang's "overall situation", take a long-term view and enlarge the pattern. Don't be limited to a little petty profit, waiting for a big cake. But many people can't do this in life, which is why it is difficult to achieve great success. And they are still complaining, why do I work so hard but can't see hope? Actually, I just don't know how to take a long-term view

Put people in places where they can give full play to their abilities.

Zhu Yuanzhang's ultimate goal is to be an emperor, and the emperor is a manager, but the manager is an art! Zhu Yuanzhang mastered this art, and "knowing people and being good at their duties" is the best summary. When Zhu Yuanzhang decided to leave the polis, he only took 24 people with him. They made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty in the future, which also showed Zhu Yuanzhang's unique vision.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Li Shanchang was good at politics, so he let him handle political affairs. Knowing that Xu Da is the commander, we will let him be the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. Knowing that Chang Yuchun is brave in fighting and resolute in character, we will let him be the pioneer.

Zhu Yuanzhang used all the good steel on the blade. Only when the right people do the right things can the success rate and efficiency be greatly improved. Therefore, in leadership positions, we must understand the ability of "knowing people and being good at their duties", which is the most basic and core.

In addition to "managing people", as a leader, we should actively adopt the opinions of our subordinates. At that time, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were powerful, but Zhu Yuanzhang was vulnerable.

Crucially, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Zhu Sheng's "nine-character mantra", built high walls, accumulated a lot of food, and gradually became a king. If Zhu Yuanzhang had not adopted this suggestion at that time, perhaps the Ming Dynasty would not have appeared. Therefore, we should listen to the suggestions of subordinates and judge whether to adopt them according to the actual situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang who changed his mind

A person has courage and leadership, a high pattern and a long-term vision. What matters is strong ambition. This man is hard to succeed! So it is not surprising that Zhu Yuanzhang finally succeeded. He deserved it. God doesn't give a favor to a person for no reason. Sometimes, you think a person can succeed casually. In fact, he just made an unknown effort behind his back.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind after he became emperor, from the most loyal to the least loyal. At first, Guo Zixing could not stay in this city-state, so he took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang is not proud, but upright. He also gave his city and tens of thousands of people to Guo Zixing, because Guo Zixing was very kind to Zhu Yuanzhang.

But after becoming the king of a country, Zhu Yuanzhang put loyalty behind him, and all the heroes who followed him to unify the country were killed. This also gave Zhu Yuanzhang a negative image: heartless, killing heroes. So why did Zhu Yuanzhang have such a big change? Basically "thinking" has changed.

I need talents before I am still in the period of conquering the country. I want to reward these people and make them determined to conquer this country with themselves. Later, when Daming Jiangshan was established, it became a period of guarding Jiangshan. Those founding heroes who were regarded as treasures by Zhu Yuanzhang have now become thorny issues in his eyes.

If these people rebel, wouldn't it be a heavy blow to Daming? It's best to get rid of it early to avoid any trouble in the future. Therefore, when the position changes, the thinking will naturally change.

In a word, a person's thoughts and experiences are closely related to his position. For those of us who want to succeed, we must invest in our ideas and enrich them. The best way is to practice more. Only by personal experience can we really understand some profound truths.
