Chapter 79 Chapter 79 The artistic conception of "fear"

Compared with praise, in the officialdom, few people dare to try the word "fear". why? This starts with the culture contained in the word "terror".The word fear is composed of the characters Gong, Fan and Xin. Let's look at the character "Fan" first. This character is composed of a few characters and a dot.Here, a few characters symbolize the human body, and the dot in the middle, some text experts explained that it is a simplification of the word "fart", which means that we are all mortals, but we are just holding our breath in our hearts. Let out the breath, and this big living person will be finished.In short, the meaning of the word Fan refers specifically to the fragility of human beings, who cannot withstand bumps, bumps, falls, beatings, and gravity.

It is precisely because human beings are so fragile that it is necessary to refine Gongwu and combine Gongzi and Fanzi to form a Gongzi.Gong is a solid Gong, which means, to strengthen a person who is too weak, don't let him fall apart at the first touch.Therefore, the word Gong specifically refers to human beings' barely supporting. The reason why we need to be able to support is only because our bodies are too weak and we are really vulnerable. The word gong plus heart becomes a word of fear, which is used to express the fragility of our souls. We often say that people are in a state of panic and their souls fly away.This means that the word fear marks our inner self-personality, which is crumbling and about to collapse under the strong pressure of the outside world.

A person in extreme panic will naturally grab any life-saving straw, no matter what the other party asks, as long as he can be freed from this terrifying state, everything will be spared.Then as long as you grasp the panic of the other party, you can achieve your goal as you wish. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Wushu mobilized heavy troops to commit crimes in the South. Although the Southern Song Dynasty had famous generals such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun, they dared not fight.Because once the Southern Song Dynasty counterattacked, Jin Wushu would immediately release the captured Song Qinzong and support him to ascend the throne in Kaifeng.If this happens, it means that the hard work of the Southern Song Dynasty will be burned, and the whole country will be torn apart in an instant and plunged into civil war.So Song Gaozong Zhao Gou endured the humiliation and issued twelve gold medals in a row to force Yue Fei to withdraw his troops, allowing Jin Wushu to attack the city and plunder the land.After gaining absolute military superiority, the two sides began peace talks.

After the negotiations, Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty suspected that Zhang Jun, the general in charge of the army, was unreliable, because Zhang Jun was far less loyal and brave in combat than Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, but blindly avoided fighting.This kind of person, if Song Qinzong really ascended the throne in Kaifeng, I'm afraid he will be the first to go there. So Song Gaozong sent Wang Shu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, to deal with Zhang Jun.The solution is also very simple, that is, to promote all the generals under Zhang Jun to the same level as Zhang Jun, so that Zhang Jun will have no subordinates, and there will be no troubles.

Unexpectedly, since Zhang Jun was able to lead an army for thousands of miles, he was certainly not easy to deal with. He found out that Wang Shu came here to get rid of him. Zhang Jun was furious and threatened him: "Tell Wang Shu for me Yes, how many days can he stay in the court? How many meals can he still eat? How dare he bother me, don’t you want to live?” Sure enough, after Zhang Jun issued this threat, Wang Shu was quickly dismissed by the court, but Zhang Jun was promoted to grand master. What is the secret of Zhang Jun's operation to turn his opponent into a civilian with just a false threat, and even get himself promoted?

In fact, the reason why Zhang Jun was able to succeed was not only his intimidation. Intimidation was just a form. The important thing was that he had information that Wang Shu did not know. The reason why Zhang Jun was afraid of the enemy and avoided the battle when he was facing Jin Bing was because he knew what Jin Wushu was thinking. If it is not for Taiwan, then Jin Wushu will jump over the wall in a hurry, tear his face, and immediately release Song Qinzong, using it as a trump card to split the Southern Song Dynasty. But Wang Shu, who was sent by the court to deal with Zhang Jun, was so confused that he couldn't think of this level at all.He just thought that Song Gaozong was dissatisfied with Zhang Jun's performance, so he wanted to get rid of Zhang Jun's military power.In this way, he made an obvious mistake in judging the current situation. How can he win in a contest with Zhang Jun?

From this we know that when we need to use the "fear" tactic, an important prerequisite is that we must have information that the opponent does not know, or we must be able to analyze and judge the information. Intellectual superiority over opponents.Otherwise, it is better not to use the word "fear". The reason why we should be cautious about the word fear is because the word fear will arouse endless grief and indignation in people's hearts, and make the person concerned feel the greatest degree of embarrassment. Immediate retaliation will be taken. Ding Wei, a power minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, when he was a prime minister, a sore suddenly developed on the tip of his tongue, which caused him to die of pain, and he was unable to go to the court to serve as a councilor.So a doctor was called to treat him, and the doctor was really good at it. After a dose of medicine, Ding Wei saw that the pain on the tip of his tongue was greatly reduced, and he could barely speak.Just as the doctor was waiting for another skill, the doctor suddenly knelt down and asked Ding Wei for an official position for one of his relatives.At that time, Ding Wei was extremely ashamed and angry, but he was also worried that if he didn't agree to the other party's words, if the other party didn't cure his illness, he might ruin his own future, so he reluctantly nodded.

After Ding Wei's illness was completely cured, he secretly sent people to collect the doctor's privacy, and when he learned that he was having an affair with a court official's concubine, he sent someone to follow him, and caught the doctor by surprise when he was having an affair. He lived there, dragged him to the government office, rode forty boards, and exiled to Lingnan. It can be seen that the word fear, if used improperly, will bring great troubles.If you really want to use this word of fear, you must reach a state of perfection. When using this technique, the other party must never feel humiliated, but only stimulate his fear and consequent gratitude.If there is anger instead of gratitude, then the word fear loses its meaning.

So, how can we make the other party only feel grateful but not resentful after intimidating the other party? This requires setting the things that the other party is terrified of as a situation that has nothing to do with you, and the fear cannot be brought by yourself.Because you are a person who is seeking an official, you have something to ask from the other party. In the process, if you let the other party ask you in turn, then you must solve the troubles of the third party, not your own troubles. The person who used this method most skillfully was Jing Zhaoyin Han Yangu in the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time Song Xiaozong admired Han Yangu very much and was ready to reuse him.Fan Zhongxi, an admonishing doctor, knew that Han Yangu's intentions were not righteous and he would never use them, so he prepared to admonish him.After Han Yangu heard the news, he had a plan. Fan Zhongxi is a clean and honest official with a poor family background. He is an impeccable upright and loyal minister.But Han Yangu couldn't help it. He took a slippery white jade box full of Dabei beads, sealed it in a big box, bribed an old family member of Fan Zhongxi with a lot of money, and ordered him to be in Fan Zhongxi's house. When Zhongxi's wives and concubines are present, they will take out the presents.The old family was greedy for huge profits, so they did it.When Fan Zhongxi saw the gift, he scolded his old family and ordered him to return the gift immediately.At this time, Fan Zhongxi's concubine looked at the box curiously, and insisted on opening it to take a look, saying that she just opened it to take a look, and she didn't accept other people's gifts, so what was she afraid of?Fan Zhongxi couldn't hold back his concubine, so he let her open it.Opening the big box, I found that there was a jade box inside. My concubine was even more curious, and took it out with her hand, but she didn't want Han Yangu to be deceitful. It slipped off, fell to the ground and shattered, and the round big bead rolled all over the ground.

He even broke someone's gift. Fan Zhongxi had to accept this gift if he didn't accept it.It's a pity that the old man's reputation was ruined on a slippery box.In desperation, Fan Zhongxi had a stroke at that time, and his body was paralyzed and unable to move. From then on, the court allowed Han Yangu to do whatever he wanted. Fan Zhongxi's stroke was certainly caused by shock and anger, but if it wasn't for Han Yangu's careful planning, this situation would not have happened.Therefore, whenever the word "fear" is stained, it is inseparable from the painstaking setup.
