In 6 14 BC, Chu Zhuangwang, the son of King Chumu, succeeded to the throne. According to the ominous date of birth, he died in 59 1 BC, also known as King Jingzhuang and Xiong, a famous traveler (a couple along the way). He was the most successful monarch of Chu State in his time and one of the five tyrants in the Central Plains. Yingdu, now the south city of Jiangling, ascended the throne for three years, without giving orders, climbing mountains and hunting all day, indulging in debauchery, and ordered: "Those who dare to remonstrate will die without forgiveness!"

Doctor Wu Ju risked his life to remonstrate. King Gezhuang held Ji Zheng on the left and Yue Nv on the right, sitting between the bells and drums.

Wu Ju, please guess the riddle, "A bird stays down for three years without flying or calling. What bird is it? "

Zhuang Wang replied: "If you don't fly for three years, you will fly to heaven; If you don't call for three years, it will be great! " But a few months later, Zhuang Wang was still the same, enjoying himself more and more.

The doctor Su Cong advised again. King Zhuang drew his sword to kill Su Cong. Sue was never afraid, but insisted on exhortation.

Therefore, King Zhuang gave up his lewd enjoyment and took charge of state affairs personally, appointing Wu Ju and Su Cong as important positions.

This is the origin of "amazing". Later, Sun Shuai served as a hermit, stressing gains and losses, stabilizing the political situation and developing production, thus laying the hegemony of Chu.

Examples of successful persuasion in history 2:

Once, Sun Quan got drunk at Diaoyutai in Wuchang, and got as drunk as a fiddler. After getting drunk, he asked people to sprinkle water on the ministers on the table and said to everyone, "If you drink today, you must get drunk here." At that time, Suiyuan general Zhang Zhao left the banquet without saying a word with a straight face, went outside and sat in his car. Sun Quan sent someone to call him back and said, "Today is just drinking and having fun. Why are you angry? " Zhang Zhao replied: "In the past, Zhou Wang built the Lanshan wine pool to drink all night, also for happiness, and it was not considered a bad thing." Hearing this, Sun Quan didn't say a word, with a look of shame on his face, and immediately withdrew from the banquet.

Example 3 of successful persuasion in history:

The most important thing in "the way to govern the country" is how to govern the country, and Wei Zhi has a deep understanding of this. He always used some problems of Taizong to explain his idea of governing the country in time, which not only solved the problems of Taizong, but also achieved the purpose of persuasion. This is also the cleverness of Wei Zhi.

In the first year of Zhenguan (627), Emperor Taizong had just acceded to the throne and was still full of doubts about being a gentleman. One day he asked Wei Zhi, "Ai Qing, what do you think is a wise monarch and a dark monarch?"

Wei Zhi heard this question, and his heart moved. Isn't that what he wanted to remind the emperor? He calmly replied: "everything you listen to makes you clear, and partiality makes you dark." If the host can listen to opinions from all sides, he can be called a wise king, but if he only believes one person's statement, he must be a groggy king. Yao often consulted the people before, so he could understand Miao's evil deeds; Shun is good at listening to voices from all directions, so treacherous court officials such as * * *, Gun and Huan Dou can't deceive him. On the contrary, Qin Ershi only believed in Zhao Gao, which eventually led to national subjugation; Liang Wudi's appointment of Zhu Yi led to chaos in Houjing. Emperor Yang Di listened to the Records of the Historian, and the world was in chaos without knowing it. These are all negative examples. Therefore, you mainly listen to opinions from all sides, so that you can fully understand the situation in all aspects and not be deceived by one or two ministers. "

Taizong nodded and said, "If it weren't for Ai Qing, I wouldn't have heard such words!"

Jun mainly listens to opinions from all sides, which is also a very important content in the Confucian concept of governing the country. Wei Zhi inherited this thought and applied it to Zhenguan politics through Taizong. Wei Zhi's principle of "listening while listening is bright, listening while listening is dark" was well adhered to in the decision-making in the early period of Zhenguan, and Emperor Taizong often discussed it extensively with courtiers when he was in trouble. This is also an important part of the political atmosphere of Zhenguan.

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan (638), at a big banquet, Emperor Taizong asked again, "Dear Ai Qing, tell me, is it difficult to start a business or to keep a business?"

Shang Shu's left servant replied, "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was chaos in the world, and the crowds competed for the deer. Your majesty has gone through many hardships to lay the foundation of today's country. Entrepreneurship is naturally more difficult. "

Wei Zhi replied, "When the emperor started his business, the world was in chaos. Only in troubled times can you show your heroic qualities and win the support of the people. After winning the world, he gradually became arrogant and extravagant, abused the people's power to satisfy his own desires, and eventually led to the decline of the country. At this point, it is more difficult to retain. "

Emperor Taizong concluded: "Ling Xuan fought side by side with me and risked his life to prepare for hardship, so he found it difficult to start a business." Wei Zhi and I rule the world together, for fear that I will give birth to arrogance and lead the country to a place of peril, so I find it even harder to hold on. Now that the difficulties in the start-up period have become a thing of the past, we should face the hardships of staying in the enterprise with caution. "

All the ministers congratulated him: "It is a blessing for the country and the people that your majesty can think like this!"

In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan (64 1), Emperor Taizong once again raised the question of how difficult it is to protect the world. Wei Zhi said, "It is very difficult to maintain business." Emperor Taizong asked, "As long as you hire talented people and accept advice with an open mind, you can do it. Why is it difficult? " Wei Zhi went further and said, "Look at the ancient emperors. When they are in danger, they can often remonstrate in Renxian. However, if the world is peaceful, it will definitely be slack. Over time, the problems will gradually emerge, which will eventually lead to the country's peril. This is also the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Isn't it difficult to worry about world peace? "

In fact, entrepreneurship and persistence, conquering the world and governing the world are important topics about Jundao regime that are often discussed in history. Dialectically speaking, starting a business is as difficult as persistence. Risking your life in the start-up period requires tenacious will and indomitable spirit. After defeating all opponents and establishing a new regime, people who came from the hard war years seem to have a feeling of not thinking about it. As Taizong said, Fang experienced the hardships of war and narrowly escaped death, so he knew the difficulty of starting a business. However, after the establishment of the new regime, if we still sleep in the past, become complacent, indulge our own desires and no longer care about the sufferings of the people, it will cause new social contradictions and lead to the decline of the regime. Wei Zhi believes that there is still a chance to conquer the world. As long as we conform to the current situation and the people's hearts, we will certainly win. To govern the country and the world, we must always keep a cautious heart and never indulge our personal desires. This is the hardest thing.

In fact, Wei Zhi also experienced the turmoil at the end of Sui Dynasty, but before Emperor Taizong came to power, he did not follow him to seize the throne. It is impossible to say that he doesn't understand the difficulty of starting a business. However, his political literacy makes him understand more clearly. At this time, he should pay attention to sticking to his position and governing the country. Of course, it is also because Wei Zhi has no credit for starting a business and has no right to speak in this respect.
