Talking
The mouth is a tool, and its main purpose is to eat, drink, and speak. As for other functions, it depends on personal preference, such as, flute, and suona. Another example is kissing, flying kissing or something.
It's good to talk straight and straight, and people who beat around the bush are not welcome. But there are some special occasions that are not suitable to get straight to the point, and we must pay attention to the art of speaking and be able to speak.
An allusion to the three ministers talking to the emperor:
Yan Ying is the senior doctor of Qi State, equivalent to the prime minister. Someone in the country of Qi offended Qi Jinggong and was tied up and taken to the main hall. Qi Jinggong sent Tianwei and ordered this person to be killed, and said, who dares to kill together. Yan Ying rolled up his sleeves and took charge of the knife himself. His left hand pressed the person's head, and his right hand "Huo Huohuo" sharpened the knife, and asked Jing Gong loudly: "Your Majesty, where did the ancient Ming King and Holy Lord ** come from?" Qi Jinggong heard this, and immediately said: "Indulgence, the sin lies in the widow." ”
Jian Yong is Liu Bei's "engaged in Langzhong", which is equivalent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This person is very level, and he is deeply favored by Liu Bei. When the DPRK and China were deliberating, they were "good at one by one", only under Zhuge Liang. This year, Shu encountered a major drought, and ** issued a decree prohibiting the brewing of moonshine, which is estimated to be to save water. When the officials were enforcing the law, they arrested a group of people who had hidden wine-making tools in their homes, and prepared to punish these people. One day, Liu Bei and Jian Yong had a private visit on the street, and saw a man and a woman talking and laughing and walking around, Jian Yong said: "If these two people want to commit adultery, they should be arrested." Liu Bei asked, "How do you know?" Jian Yong replied, "Both of them are carrying tools for adultery." Liu Bei laughed and immediately ordered the release of the person who had hidden the brewing tools.
Sometimes if you don't speak, you just speak. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che's nurse, had no fear and did some excessive things, and Emperor Wu was very angry when he found out and wanted to deal with it strictly. In order to save her life, the nurse went to Dongfang Shuo for help. Dongfang Shuo's "life-saving straw" is: "No matter how the emperor reprimands you, listen to it and don't defend it." When the emperor pulls you out, don't speak, look back at him a few more times, it's best to have tears. That's what the nurse did. The human heart is flesh long, the grace of nurturing is higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, and the softest piece of meat in Emperor Wu's heart has been activated. "The emperor is sad, that is, the forgiveness of sins. ”
There are two main threads in China's political history, one is the emperor line and the other is the prime minister line. The emperor is a parabola, because our emperor is a family contract system, and the difference in individual abilities fluctuates greatly. The prime minister is a horizontal line, and basically runs at a high level. A good emperor has a famous appearance around him, and a ruined emperor is inseparable from a famous appearance. The emperor is full of words, and it doesn't matter whether he can speak or not. But the prime minister must have two basic skills: he can do things, he can speak, and there are countless prime ministers and famous doctors in history who lost their heads because they couldn't speak.
The mouth is a tool, the microphone when speaking, the rice bucket when eating, and the real backstage boss is the heart and brain. "Speak with your conscience" and "Speak indiscriminately, have no brains", these two common sayings refer to this meaning. In fact, writing an article is also talking, but the tool has changed, and the mouth has been replaced with a pen. I feel that I can say five sentences, which is almost a first-class article, and these five sentences are, to speak human words, to tell the truth, to speak common words, to say pertinent words, and to say words with personality and level.
