Chapter 92 The King's Belly
The gentle words were full of tenderness, like a spring breeze blowing by. Although the room was small and dark, it did not affect the feelings of this friendship among everyone present.
The majestic King of Han, soon to be the emperor of the ages, actually treated a minister who disrespected the king so tenderly, which can be said to be the first time in history.
There have been kings in history who were as big-hearted as the sea. These kings were models of courteous and virtuous people. When faced with the disrespect of their ministers, they could ignore the minister's offense and choose to forgive happily without a word of scolding. However, they could not bow down to apologize and speak soft words of comfort.
situation.
Because there is a limit to a person's capacity, it is like a water tank. When the water is full, it will inevitably overflow. Offensive, disrespectful, insulting and other behaviors are like water.
The capacity of ordinary people is related to education, nature and other factors. The common people are the most complex and diverse. Businessmen change according to their interests, while scholars face it with integrity.
Those who are dedicated to martial arts are easily violent and irritable, and will vent out what they don't like on the spot. Those who should be killed or scolded will show it in a moment. Drawing a sword means being extremely angry, swearing loudly means being angry, and being depressed means resentment, even if it is full of heart.
It's small, but few disasters happen.
Those who are good at writing and writing are either big-hearted and can endure humiliation that ordinary people cannot bear and deal with it indifferently, or they are narrow-minded and care about the smallest things and keep them in their hearts forever. Once the time comes, they start to double their revenge without leaving a trace of mercy.
Powerful people have unpredictable minds and are more complex and extreme than ordinary scribes. Because most of them are talented people, they have strategies in their minds and great wisdom. They can comprehensively analyze situations, connections, interests, prospects, etc.
Treat others in the way you think is best.
In other words, powerful people have no sense. In the image, they are like a bottomless pit with no clue about the depth. They change according to the surrounding environment. The purpose is to create opportunities, seek profit or promotion while maintaining their own status.
No one is willing to lose his job, of course, except for those who care about the world. For them, if losing their power is beneficial to the common people, or beneficial to the country and the army, then they are willing to do so.
There are very few such people, and there have not been many of them for thousands of years. Nowadays, in this troubled world, they are difficult to find and can be ignored. Even if they exist, their souls have long since passed away.
If you are in a high position and suddenly give up your power, you are seeking your own death. Today's officials have more or less enemies, and some enemies are eager to find opportunities to hack them to death and eat their flesh and skin to retaliate. If you lose your power, you will die.
Without the protective umbrella, he would be assassinated and died tragically in just a few days.
This is one, and the other is the strong desire for fame and power. Sometimes people are greedy. Rich people will want to be richer, and people in high positions will not want to go further and climb up.
For people who are extremely obsessed with power, having power over the world and having thousands of people bow to their heads is the ultimate pursuit and a dream. To this end, they can do whatever it takes, no matter how dirty or evil they are.
No matter what kind of person he is, whether he is a commoner or a high-ranking official, no matter how small, big or changeable his belly is, he is not as mysterious as the king's belly, as wise as a demon and as brave as a demon. No matter how powerful he is, he has no temper at all in front of the king.
The king can control the life and death of the common people and change the fate of his ministers, so he is called the contemporary emperor. Therefore, the treacherous ministers and loyal ministers are too mediocre in comparison and cannot do whatever they want like the king.
The power of the king is the highest. It is like a huge mountain pressing down on everyone's heart. In front of the king, there is generally no extreme anger or resentment, and there is no subsequent disaster. If there is, once it is discovered, the person involved will be able to reach heaven.
, could not escape the king's punishment and ended up in a state of disgrace.
Therefore, no matter what kind of dirty tricks, dangerous tricks, or any kind of betrayal or loyalty, it can be tolerated or not tolerated at the king's discretion, and no one dares to criticize it.
Ordinary people want to live, and officials are promoted and held power, all of which are inseparable from the king's will. It can be ended with just one sentence, and no one can reverse it. People in the world will die if they don't follow it.
Therefore, the king's capacity is extremely mysterious. No matter what extreme situation he faces, he can change according to his heart. He is powerless to stop it and dares to violate it unintentionally. It is a real bottomless pit.
Even if it is so profound, as evidenced by many kings of the previous dynasties, it has also been discovered to a certain extent by the world. Although it is incredible, this is a fact and a common characteristic of kings of all ages, so we have to believe it.
This shows that as the emperor, no matter how hard it is to fathom, there are rules to follow. Life, death, giving, and taking can be seen through the king’s demeanor, movements, and normal temperament. Combined with the disrespectful words and deeds of his ministers, the king can basically be determined.
The general next steps.
Therefore, there is a way to treat the king in the world. There is a saying that "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger." When a minister faces the king, when should he say something?
.
If a minister touches the bottom line of the king, it will be the fury of thunder. Even if he is ranked first among civil servants and military generals, and is extremely glorious, he will never be forgiven by the emperor. Even if he dies in an instant, it will not be surprising.
The most typical example is during the period of King Zhao of Qin. Bai Qi, the God of War, destroyed millions of armies of the Six Kingdoms and wiped out their military strength. Since then, no other country has had young and strong men like Qin Bing, who fought to win political power and destroy
The six countries unified the world and laid a solid foundation.
When his achievements reached this level, his reputation surpassed that of the King of Qin. The other countries feared that Bai Qi of Qin was stronger than the King of Qin. Among the generals of the Qin State, Bai Qi was deeply supported. Among the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, Bai Qi was the military god.
.
This is a master of great merit. Although King Zhao of Qin has the capacity to accommodate others, he is not as great as his descendants Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng can treat great meritorious officials preferentially. Like that Wang Jian, he can have a good death.
Of course, Wang Jian understood that survival was the key, but no emperor with a very broad mind would be able to lay down his military power, resign and go into seclusion. He would be suspected of "slaughtering courage" and plotting rebellion, and would still be sentenced to death in the end.
King Qin Zhao's ambition was limited, and he was already struggling with Bai Qi's prestige. Unexpectedly, when he attacked Zhao later, Bai Qi disobeyed the king's orders, refused to take command, and repeatedly resisted the king's orders.
This made the King of Qin extremely unhappy. A very important figure in the country's army repeatedly ignored the king's life. What does this mean? It means that the King of Qin is just a decoration, and his ministers are proud of themselves!
Finally, the King of Qin resolutely killed Bai Qi, and then he felt better. Although after Bai Qi's death, the subsequent battles lacked good generals and were difficult to fight, the King of Qin did not regret the decision to kill the hero at all.
Fan Ju, who was a minister in the same palace as Bai Qi, was killed for a different reason. He was killed because his close confidants rebelled, and he was defeated and lost the city, which aroused the anger of the King of Qin. Bai Qi, on the other hand, had done meritorious service to Qin but had no fault.
These events in the previous dynasties fully prove that as tall as a king, his belly is also limited. Those who wantonly insult the king will be killed no matter how small they commit. The king's thoughts are endless, but once the king's face is damaged, he will be punished.
The king was furious.
