My emperor tells fortune.

Material 1:

His son, called "Lu" for a long time, was called "T-shirt" for a young one. I don't know what it means. This is the admonition of the book in two bamboo slips, in order to teach the second son: "I want to know it." After asking for three years, Bayrou couldn't draw out his words, so the simple question was lost. Ask no shirt, recite its words very well, ask its Jane, and play the sleeves. Therefore, Jane takes no shirt as a sage and stands behind.

Translation:

At that time, he was the son of Zhao Jianzi (Zhao Yang), an official of the State of Jin. His eldest son's name is Lubo and his youngest son's name is T-shirt. Zhao Jianzi wanted to determine the heir, but he didn't know which one to choose, so he wrote his daily admonition on two bamboo slips and gave it to his two sons respectively, saying, "Remember it well!" Three years later, Zhao Jianzi asked about his two sons. The eldest son, Blue, could not tell what was written on the bamboo slips. Ask him again about the bamboo slips, which have been lost. He also asked his youngest son that he didn't have a shirt, but he knew bamboo slips by heart. Asked about bamboo slips, he took them out of his sleeve and presented them. Therefore, Zhao Jianzi thought sleeveless was very virtuous and made him his heir.

This material is about the choice of Zhao Yang's successor. Through the test, Wu Zhao's shirt was chosen as the heir. Interpretation of this material recommends that you read this article on Shiwudao's official WeChat account: "Zi Tong Zhi Jian" Zhou Ji BC403: Zhao Xiangzi's plot to get ahead.

The point of this article is that Gu Buziqing recommended Zhao Wut-shirt, and Zhao Wut-shirt conspired to take the upper position. I am neutral about this view.

But later, I combined the biography of Han poetry and Historical Records to cross-read, and found that things were not as simple as they seemed. ?

Material 2:

Confucius went out of the East Gate of Wei and looked back on Bu Ziqing. He said, "The second and third sons lead cars to avoid them. If anyone comes in the future, he will be with me and will make a decision. " Gu buziqing also said, "two or three sons lead cars to avoid, and there will be saints in the future." Confucius stepped down. Gu Buziqing welcomes it fifty paces and looks at it fifty paces. Gu Zigong said, "Who is it?" Zi Gong said, "The teacher is also named Lu." Gu Buziqing said, "Yes! I have heard of it. " Zi Gong said, "What is a teacher?" Gu Buzi said, "Yao's eye, Shun's eye, Yu's neck, his beak. Once upon a time, Ang Ang seemed to have a king; From the back, the shoulders are high and the spine is weak, which is not as good as the four saints. " Zi Xugong ran away. Gu Buzi said, "What's the matter with you? There is no evil in the face and ugly in the mouth. Looking at it from a distance, if it is a lost dog, how can it suffer! What's wrong with Zi? 1 Zigong, go and tell Confucius. Confucius had nothing to say, so he said goodbye to the dog's ear and said, "How dare Qiu? "Zi Gong said," A dirty face is not evil, and an ugly mouth is not borrowed, so you can know it. "I don't know how to quit." -"The Biography of Chinese Poetry" (9)?

Translation 2:

A little.

Confucius and Gu Buziqing met, and Gu Buziqing gave Confucius a face, saying that he was a saint, but also a lost dog. Confucius travels around the world like a lost dog, but he will become a saint. ? There is an important person here, that is, Gu Buziqing. He was a very famous physiognomist during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which gave people face-to-face experience. His set of things was still very marketable at that time.

This material, on the one hand, rationalizes Confucius' achievements by using Gu Buqing's teacher status, on the other hand, strengthens Gu Buqing's fortune telling. ?

Material 3:

For a brief introduction to the original text, see Historical Records of Zhao. ?

Translation 3:

Zhao Yang was sick and in a coma for five days, and the doctors were scared. Dr Bian Que (not Bian Que, but Bian Que's master or grandmaster) saw it and came out. Dong Anyu asked about his illness. Bian Que said, "Your blood is peaceful, so why should you be surprised! This kind of thing happened in Qin Mugong before, and it took seven days to wake up. On the day I woke up, I told Gong He, "I am very happy to come to the place where God lives. I stayed for a long time because I was taught. God told me:' the state of Jin will be chaotic, and the fifth world will not be peaceful; His descendants will dominate and die before they are old, and the son of the overlord lives in the state of Jin. "The palace wrote it down and hid it, and Qin's prediction came out at this time. As you know, offering the chaos of the public, writing about the hegemony of the public, and the defeat of Xianggong Yaoshan, condone the chaos after returning. Now your monarch's illness is the same as Qin Mugong's. In three days, he will be all right. After that, he must have something to say. "(why did Bian Que tell the story of Qin Mugong? And why did he say that Zhao Yang had something to say behind his back? )? Two and a half days later, Zhao Yang woke up. He said to the doctors, "When I went to see God, I was very happy. I was visiting with God. ".I have heard many gorgeous music performances and seen ten thousand kinds of dances, which are very moving, unlike the music of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. A bear came to catch me, and God told me to shoot it. The bear was shot. Here comes another one. I shot again and was killed. God was very happy and gave me two bamboo boxes, both of which were small. I saw a child (question: who is the representative of the child? ) By God's side, God entrusted me with a dog and said to me,' When your son grows up, I will give you this dog. God also told me:' The State of Jin will gradually decline and perish after seven generations. The man who won the surname will defeat Zhou people west of Fan Kui, but you can't occupy them. Now I remember Yu Shun's exploits, and then I will marry Meng Yao, the daughter of Shun descendants, to your seventh-generation grandson. ""Dong Anyu wrote these words and kept them properly (Dong Anyu built Jinyang as a courtier of Scott, and later committed suicide to save Scott, which was Zhao Yang's absolute confidant). He reported what Bian Que said to Zhao Yang (this is what Dong Anyu told Zhao Yang Bian Que, why did he tell Zhao Yang Bian Que? ), Zhao Yang gave Bian Que forty thousand mu of land. Just because Bian Que told a story about Qin Mugong, he was given 40,000 mu of land? )

One day, when Zhao Yang went out, someone stopped him and drove him away. His followers were very angry and wanted to kill him. The man in the way said, "I have something to see the Lord." The attendant told Zhao Yang what he said, and Zhao Yang summoned him. As soon as they met, they said, "Hey! I have seen you clearly. " The man in the way said, "Let the left and right attendants stand down. I have something to tell you. " Zhao Yang asked people to stand down. The man on the road said, "I was with God when you were sick." Just because you read it, you are relieved? And let the attendants around you step down? Create an opportunity to be alone with this unknown person. What if it's an assassin )

Zhao Yang said, "Yes, there is. What was I doing when you saw me? " People on the road said, "God told you to shoot bears and pigs, and you shot them all." Zhao Yang said, "Yes, what will happen?" The roadblock said, "Kim will be in big trouble. You are the boss." God asked you to destroy these two ministers. Xiong and Yi were their ancestors. "Zhao Yang said," God gave me two bamboo boxes, both of which have matching boxes. What does that mean? "The roadblock said," Your son will conquer Zhai and the two countries. They are all sons' surnames. "

Zhao Yang said, "I saw a child by God's side. God gave me a dog and said,' When your son grows up, I will give you this dog'. What does it mean to give the dog to the child? " The roadblock said, "The child is your son, and Zhai Gou is the ancestor of Daiguo. Your son will certainly occupy this country in the future. By the time your descendants ("the heir of the monarch", which is the original words in the historical records, is different from the previous "son of the monarch"), the decree will change, and they will wear the clothes of the Hu people (Zhao Wuling, Wang, Qi She) and annex the two countries in Zhai. " Zhao Yang asked his last name and asked him to be an official. The barricade said, "I'm from the countryside, just to convey God's will." Then he disappeared. Jane recorded these words and kept them in the secret room.

(The above text is a conversation between Zhao Yang and the mysterious person when they are alone. The problem is that since they are alone, there is no third party to prove it. Are these words really a dialogue in the end? Or is there something else? )

A few days ago, Gu Buziqing visited Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yang called all his sons and asked him to tell fortune. Qing Zi said, "No one can be a general." Zhao Yang said, "Is Zhao going to die?" Zi Qing said: "I once saw a child on the road (there was no Zhao Wuji on the phone before, why not?" ), probably your son! "Zhao Yang (in the original, he used the word" Zhao "twice, indicating that he was not called Zhao Wushan for the first time) called his son Wushan. As soon as he arrived, Qing Zi stood up and said, "This is the real general!" Isn't it like in a TV series, when the fortune teller saw the emperor visiting incognito, he read his palm and immediately knelt down and said, Long live my emperor? Zhao Yang said, "This child's mother is humble (which is very important) and she is Zhai's handmaid. How can she say she is noble (this is very important)? Zi Qing said: "A godsend, even if humble, must be noble. (This is the key) "From then on, Zhao Yang often called all his sons to talk, and shirtless performed best. Zhao Yang once said to his sons, "I treasure my wealth on the long mountain. Give it to whoever finds it first. "The sons hurried to Changshan to find it, but found nothing. When he came back without a shirt, he said, "I found the treasure." Zhao Yang said, "Go ahead. Wu Yi said, "Looking down from the long mountain, the country can take it. "Zhao Yang didn't know there was no shirt (Historical Records used a" fruit ",which really meant it. ) is a talent. So he abolished Prince Blue and made Sleeveless a prince. (There is one more sentence here than Zi Tongzhi Jian, which wastes Prince Bolu. Is Bayrou originally a prince or Scott's established heir?

When Sima Qian wrote historical records, he always cherished words like gold. Every word he wrote is carefully scrutinized and pondered, and there won't be a nonsense on it. Sima Qian spent so much pen and ink to write this passage, there must be profound meaning behind it. ?

After reading the three materials, let's sort them out now. There are seven key figures in all. ?

Zhao Jianzi Zhao Yang, ruler of Jin Zhengqing and master of Zhao family; Bian Que's master or grandmaster; Zhao Jiachen and Zhao Yang confidant Dong Anyu; Mystery man; Gu buziqing; Zhao Yang's eldest son, Zhao's next householder Bolu; Zhao Yang's illegitimate daughter, the youngest son, Zhao has no shirt. ?

Material 2 actually has little to do with it, but highlights Gu Buziqing's teacher status. Material 1 and material 3 are complementary. Sima Guang concealed the fact that Zhao Yang abolished the long position (Bolu) and established the young position (Zhao has no shirt) in Zi Tongzhi Jian. Incidentally, Zhao was made heir because he was heartless and talented. Sima Qian completely restored the whole incident. ?

To sum up the final outcome of the incident here, Zhao Yang abolished the long (Bolu) and established the young (Zhao Wushan), according to the principle that whoever benefits the most is the mastermind. Zhao sleeveless benefited the most from it, and became Zhao's heir from being a prostitute. So did he set this game? Obviously, no. He doesn't have that much energy. Even if Gu Bu helps him speak, Yang can't change his position? Obviously, it is also unlikely, because Gu Buziqing is an outsider, and the heirs of a family confirm that the opinions of outsiders are at most reference and cannot be influenced by the opinions of outsiders. If that's the case, is there a lot after Zhao Yang's illness? ?

Throughout the ages, we all know that the so-called emperors will meet an old man in their dreams and then say something, mostly to mystify him and rationalize his identity and achievements. Explain that it is given by heaven and has a destiny. But whether this really happened, only the parties know. Just like Yang in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was often possessed by God, Hong Xiuquan was very nervous. ?

Then the most likely reason is that Zhao Yang himself has the idea of abolishing Bolu, and through a series of layouts, he abolished Bolu, rationalized Zhao's compassionate position and avoided internal contradictions. ?

It is a matter of cloth how to restore Zhao Yang Fei Long (Bolu) to establish Yang (T-shirt) now. ?

In the first step, Zhao Yang found Bian Que's master or grandmaster from Bian Que's mouth by imitating Qin Mugong's story (Bian Que was really born in 407 BC, while Zhao Yang died in 475 BC, separated by more than 60 years, which is obviously not really Bian Que's treatment of Zhao Yang), and planned and told the story of Qin Mugong's treatment of Zhao Yang with him, which was well paid after the job was done. ?

Bian Que's master or grandmaster agreed. Pretending to see Zhao Yang, in fact, he acted like a double reed, saying that Zhao Yang would definitely talk when he came. In Material 3, Dong Anyu asked Bian Que's master or grandmaster Zhao Yang about his illness, and the implication was to remind him that it was time to speak. This is actually a reason to rationalize Zhao Yang's later speech. ?

The second step is to vomit a lot of confusion after illness. As Bian Que's master said, Zhao Yang woke up and said. Plus what Bian Que said before, they believed it. But many puzzles remain unanswered. Let everyone have doubts. ? Afterwards, Dong Anyu reported to Zhao Yang what Master Bian Que had said and confirmed whether the agreement had been fulfilled. If there is any problem, Zhao Yang will probably be covered up. After confirmation, Zhao Yang gave 40,000 mu of land as a reward. ?

In the third step, the mysterious man appeared to solve the puzzle. Meeting Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang was not surprised, but created an opportunity to talk with him in detail. After his illness, the mysterious man said. But the problem is that no one can hear what the mysterious man said, and no one even thinks so. In fact, the mysterious man may not have said anything, but Zhao Yang said what he wanted to say through the mysterious man's mouth, which further uncovered the mystery buried before. ?

The possibility of this passage is that the mystery man was really arranged by Zhao Yang, but he didn't know what Zhao Yang said after his illness. Zhao Yang arranged for him to stop Zhao Yang's motorcade on the road, pretend to know Zhao Yang, and say that he would report something. In fact, this matter is dispensable, and it will never be related to what Zhao Yang said after his illness. The more you know, the greater the risk and the more uncontrollable it is.

And don't leave the official position directly after the mystery man, this is actually to eliminate the witness. In this way, even if someone wants to trace it, they have no clue. Is it necessary to check Zhao Yang himself? ?

At this point, some puzzles have been clearly explained, which proves that Zhao Yang's son can do a lot. However, most people don't think Zhao has more than one son. What if God doesn't instruct his eldest son, Blue, who is already the heir? ?

Step four, celebrity photographers push Zhao Wuji onto the stage. At this time, Gu Buzi came out. After a talk with Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang told his sons to tell his fortune and told him that none of them could become generals. Note that there is no Zhao Wut-shirt here, obviously no one is calling. Then he said that there was a child, but he wasn't there, so Zhao Yang called the shirt here. Gu buziqing said that this is the future general. ?

Next, Zhao Yang expressed considerable doubt. One is that Zhao's T-shirt mother has a humble position, and the other is that Zhao's T-shirt has a low position in Zhao's family. These two points are objective facts, which also represent the views of most people in Zhao's family. It also shows that Zhao Wuxi is the biggest shortcoming of Li Jue's successor, and even the place where others attack him. ?

However, Gu Buziqing said that "it is a gift, although it is cheap, it will be expensive". This echoes what Zhao Yang said to the mysterious man after his illness. Although the child around God is Zhao Yang's son, not Bolu, Zhao has no compassion and his destiny lies in Zhao. ?

Zhao Yang, with a higher fate, made up for the biggest deficiency of Wu Zhao's shirt, and instantly lowered it to the level of being on an equal footing with Blue. How does it feel? You graduated in 985, 2 1 1, and you are the vice president of the company. Now the boss wants to step down and promote someone to be the boss, and your competitor is a junior employee who graduated from junior high school, which has no merit. But this little employee is actually the illegitimate child of the boss. Do you feel terrible? ?

The role of Gu Bu's self-purification is fully reflected here, and Zhao Yang is using his position to make a gesture of gilding the endorsement of Zhao Wuji style. Zhao Yang probably had contact with Gu Bu Ziqing in advance, hoping that he could say so, and Gu Bu Ziqing also agreed. So this double-reed play was staged. This time, Wu Zhaoshan began to move from the edge of power to the center of power. ?

The fifth step is to demote Bolu and hold Zhao hostage for many times without wearing a shirt. Although Zhao Yang is sympathetic to Zhao, Zhao Yang's designated successor is Zhao Yang's eldest son Bolu. If the legislature is abolished rashly, there is no reasonable excuse, which is bound to be untenable, and it is not conducive to the internal stability of Wu Zhao-Shirt after he succeeded to the throne. Therefore, to abolish Bayrou, we must find an excuse to rationalize Zhao's succession and make it a more suitable successor than Bayrou. ?

So Zhao Yang began to dig a hole for his eldest son, Bolu. ?

Historical Records used a story to find a treasure, and Zhao Wuji found it. Other sons can't find it. "Purple Tongzhi Sword" is used to tell stories. When Zhao Yang was admitted to the school, Wu Zhao's shirt took the bamboo slips given by Zhao Yang and answered fluently. Moreover, Sima Qian also wrote Bolu, which is not only difficult to say, but also lost the bamboo slips. ?

Since Zhao Yang moved his mind to abolish Bolu, on the one hand, he set up these examination schools, belittling Bolu and praising Zhao without sympathy. Then, in order to play the play well, it will not be exposed or make a big oolong. Therefore, Zhao Yang must secretly give Wu Zhao-T-shirt some news. For example, arrange a teacher for Zhao Wushan, and the professor will reveal some questions and information about the school in advance. I guess it's quite possible that Dong Anyu is the middleman who delivers the message here. ?

For example, in this story in The Sword of Purple Tongzhi, Zhao Yang said that he would be admitted to this school three years later. When will the school take the exam in three years? I don't know what you don't know about the school entrance examination. Here, I might as well have a conspiracy theory. Three years later, after Zhao Yang arranged the entrance examination, someone secretly stole the bamboo slips belonging to Bu Ru. Then, before the school exam, arrange someone to tell Zhao Wuxiu when and what to take the school exam, and remember to take the bamboo slips with you. In this way, on the day of the college entrance examination, Zhao's bosses gathered together, Zhao's T-shirt performed perfectly, and Blue lost a lot of points. ?

Here is a perfect interpretation of the "fruit" in Historical Records used by Sima Qian. Obviously, people had doubts about Zhao Wuji's shirt before, but through this series of tests, we found that Zhao Wuji's shirt was more suitable than Bayrou's. So they all changed their previous attitudes. Therefore, the change of the word "Guo" is not Zhao Yang, but the internal change that Zhao Yang hopes Zhao Hui will have. ?

The sixth step, after a series of operations, Bolu has been compared with Zhao Wuji. Zhao Yang proposed abolishing Bolu and establishing Zhao without shirt. Zhao's internal opposition will not say no, but it is insignificant compared with before this action. ?

Zhao's heartless youngest son, born out of wedlock, can take the upper position. Of course, it is really inappropriate for Bolu, and Zhao Wushan himself is really talented. But under the circumstances at that time, it was still very difficult for Zhao sleeveless to rely on his position. The key is the layout of Zhao Yang, which has improved Zhao Wuji's position and capital a little bit and cleared the way for him. ?

Why did Sima Guang condense this passage in Zi Tong Zhi Jian? ?

Actually Sima Guang saw Zhao Yang's tactics. He was afraid that the later emperors would follow suit and use God's will to promote his own meaning. Originally, it was the literati's exclusive right to use heaven to restrain the emperor's power (the emperor was called the son of heaven, and the right to interpret God's will was no longer in the hands of Confucian scholars and literati). If the emperor studies backwards, how can the scholar-officials restrain the imperial power? The imperial power will be completely out of control. ?

In the Han dynasty, natural disasters were the responsibility of the prime minister and the three public officials, and they had to resign. But later, the appearance of natural disasters became a warning to the son of heaven, who wanted to commit a crime. The right to interpret this natural disaster has been transferred. Yesterday, Emperor Mao had a dream for me, just in case the late master made a sudden move. He said XXXXX, now I want to do what Emperor Mao wants. So are these courtiers promising or not? ?

Put the perspective into the present. In short, Zhao's T-shirt positioning is career promotion. ?

From the perspective of leadership. You want to promote a person, not you want to promote. Promotion is simple, but the influence after promotion is very important. So before promotion, you need to do three things for your candidate. ?

First, help him get the approval of your superiors (prevent variables and get the maximum permission support).

Second, help him get rid of other competitors (reduce risks and pave the way for them).

Third, helping him get grades is the reason for rationalizing his promotion (reducing the opposition of others). ?

From the employee's point of view, if you want to be promoted, it is not enough for you to bury yourself in the office to improve your skills. You still have to do these three things. ?

First of all, get the support of your leader (it is not you who finally decides to eliminate the competitors, but the people who have the ruling power).

Second, get the support of greater leaders (final decision, one-vote veto).

Third, there is enough performance as a reason and excuse for the leader to promote you (blocking the opponent's mouth). ?

What is a layout? Let the impossible happen, and the final development is taken for granted. This is the layout!
