Can a drop of water really see the sun?
That time, a friend invited Wang Anshi to dinner, and the table was full of delicacies, but Wang Anshi was only interested in the plate of venison, and frequently stretched out the dictators, almost eliminating it by himself.
Later, a friend came to Wang Anshi's house as a guest, and he chatted with Wang Anshi's wife about the prince's hobbies, saying that the prince was too partial to eat, and only liked to eat venison, and did not like any other delicacies. Madame Wang asked, "Which side is this plate of venison?" The friend said that it was placed on the other side of the prince, and the prince said, "That's it, next time, when you have another treat, you put a plate of mustard greens in front of him and see what he eats."
Wang Anshi is actually not partial to eating, but whichever dish is closest to him, he stretches his chopsticks to which dish, whether it is venison or dragon meat, whether it is meat or vegetarian.
If you judge Wang Anshi's hobby by a partial eclipse, is it accurate?
Song Renzong also judged Wang Anshi in this way, but in the end he was wrong.
One day, Song Renzong suddenly said that he wanted to invite everyone to go fishing, and the Manchu Dynasty naturally showed his face and was happy.
In the royal back garden, fishing rods, bait, seats, ...... Everything is ready. Song Renzong took the lead in demonstrating, and everyone was no longer restrained and played.
Wang Anshi also followed the crowd and came to the scene with everyone, but he was a little different, I don't know if he was vigilant about the training of the saints who died in Yiyu and rejuvenated the country through hard work, or if he couldn't let go of the worries of all families in his heart, he was not interested in this entertainment specially arranged by Song Renzong, and sat there alone, frowning and silent.
Wang Anshi may have the habit of eating melon seeds, he supported himself with one hand, grabbed the dish with the other, and sent the royal jade beans placed on the plate into his mouth one by one, absent-mindedly, and ate the full plate of beans.
In the distance, there was a pair of eyes staring, it was Song Renzong. The ministers all praised Wang Anshi as a capable minister, Song Renzong heard too much, he remembered to use Wang Anshi, so he transferred Wang Anshi from the local government to the central government, arranged it by his side, observed his words, and watched his deeds. Perhaps in Song Renzong's view, it is often difficult to see the temperament of the minister during working hours, and it is more reliable to look at people at activities than at work, so he organized this fishing activity.
And this time, Song Renzong did not take a fancy to Wang Anshi. It's not because Wang Anshi is so contemplative and unsociable, but the beans on the plate blindfolded Song Renzong's eyes. After Song Renzong watched Wang Anshi finish eating this plate of beans, he made a judgment that could almost cut off his future: Wang Anshi was a 100% traitor.
The beans in the dish are actually just bait. Song Renzong felt that it was understandable for a person to be immersed in his own heart and eat a grain by mistake; It is also forgivable to chew two or three grains by mistake. But such a plate of bait has been eaten, isn't this a show? Isn't this deliberately pretending to be deep?
After this fishing activity, Song Renzong hung Wang Anshi up. Wang Anshi's 10,000-word reform book brought from the local area was hung high by Song Renzong.
Is Song Renzong's way of looking at people wrong? We all look at people like this, look at the old at the age of three, lose the job with one penny, determine the life and death of the person on the one hand, and see the glory of the sun from a drop of water...... We all claim to be masters of knowing people, and we can discern the good and bad of others from a single detail.
However, the most complex thing in the world may be people. Human beings are not chemicals, and their properties can be determined by testing them with a dose of reagents; Man is not a physical substance, and its form can be determined by looking at one side of it.
How easy is it to expect to see people at a glance? Most of them will look down on people and look at people's temperament in the opposite direction. Life is difficult to determine when it comes to covering the coffin, how can it be determined for a while?
Everything was arranged for the best
Once upon a time, there was a king whose favorite thing to do was hunting. His prime minister's favorite phrase was, "Everything is for the best."
One day, the king happily went hunting in the steppes. While chasing a leopard, he accidentally got his finger bitten off by a leopard. After returning to the palace, the more the king thought about it, the more unhappy he became, so he asked the prime minister to drink and relieve his sorrows. When the prime minister learned of this, he raised a toast to the king and smiled and said, "O king! One less piece of meat is better than one less life! Want to open a little, everything is the best arrangement! When the king heard this, he finally found an opportunity to vent his unhappiness after a long time. He stared at the prime minister and said, "Hey! You're so bold! Do you really think that everything is the best arrangement? ”
The prime minister noticed that the king was very angry, but he didn't care: "Really, king, if we can surpass ourselves, temporary success or failure is the best arrangement." ”
The king said, "If I put you in prison, this is also the best arrangement?" ”
The prime minister smiled and said, "If so, I am convinced that this is the best arrangement." ”
The king said, "If I order the guards to drag you out and cut you down, this is also the best arrangement?" ”
The prime minister was still smiling, as if the king was saying something that had nothing to do with him. "If so, I'm convinced it's the best arrangement."
The king was furious, and slapped his hand hard, and the two guards immediately approached, and the king said, "Take the prime minister out and behead him at once!" The guard froze, not knowing how to react for a moment. The king said, "Why don't you hurry, what are you waiting for?" The guards woke up from a dream, stepped forward and set up the prime minister, and went out the door. The king suddenly regretted a little, and he shouted, "Slow down, first arrest and lock up!" The prime minister smiled back at him and said, "This is also the best arrangement!" ”
With a wave of the king's hand, the two guards walked out with the prime minister in their arms.
After a month, the king recovered from his injuries and planned to go out on patrol with the prime minister as before, but he thought that he had ordered him to be put in prison, and he couldn't put down the shelf to release the prime minister for a while, so he sighed and went out alone.
As he walked, he came to a remote mountain forest, and suddenly rushed down from the mountain a group of barbarians with red and butter paint on their faces, and tied him up in three or two strokes and brought him back to the high mountain. It was only then that the king remembered that it was the full moon, and that a primitive tribe in this area would go down the mountain every full moon day to find a sacrifice to the goddess of the full moon. He lamented, this time it was really hopeless. In fact, I really wanted to say to the barbarians: "I am the king here, let me go, and I will reward you with mountains of gold and silver!" But his mouth was gagged with rags, and he couldn't even speak.
When he saw that he was being brought to a large boiler taller than a person, the firewood was burning brightly, and his face was even more pale. The high priest appeared and stripped the king naked in public, revealing his thin skin and tender flesh of the dragon's body, and the high priest was amazed, he could not imagine that such a flawless sacrifice could be found now!
It turns out that the goddess of the full moon to be sacrificed today is a symbol of "perfection". Therefore, it doesn't matter if the sacrificial animal is ugly, black, or short, it just can't be mutilated. At this moment, the high priest suddenly noticed that the little finger of the king's left hand was missing a small half, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse for a long time, and reluctantly ordered: "Drive this waste away, and find another one!" The king was overjoyed, rushed back to the palace, and immediately ordered the release of the prime minister, and held a banquet in the royal garden, saving his life and celebrating the chancellor's freedom.
The king toasted the prime minister and said, "Prime minister, what you said is really not bad at all, and sure enough, everything is the best arrangement!" If it weren't for the leopard bite, I wouldn't have lost my life today. The Prime Minister returned the salute to the king with a smile and said, "King Hexi's experience of life has reached a higher level." After a while, the king suddenly asked the prime minister, "I escaped with my life, and it is true that 'all is the best arrangement,' but what can you say about squatting in prison for a month for no reason?" ”
The prime minister took a sip of wine before saying, "King! You put me in prison, and that's the best arrangement! Think about it, if I wasn't in prison, who else would I be with you on patrol? When the barbarians find out that the king is not fit to sacrifice to the goddess of the full moon, who will be thrown into a large boiler to cook? Who else is there if it is not me? So, I'm going to toast you for the king putting me in prison, and you've saved my life!" ”
"Everything is the best arrangement" is an open-minded attitude towards life.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Our director was mean, and when he went to the office to check on the post that day, he found that Xiao Jiang was staring at a set of photos on the computer screen, and the director coughed and asked, "Whose photo is this?" It was too late for Xiao Jiang to close the album, so he had to tell the truth: "Director, this is my son's birthday photo." ”
The director immediately sank his face and said: "Now you have violated two disciplines: first, doing things unrelated to work during working hours and peeking at your son's photos; Second, the computer you use is the property of the unit, but you use it to store your son's photos, which is a serious act of public property and private use, which needs to be deeply reviewed! ”
In the evening, the director called us one by one, saying that tomorrow the superior leaders would come to inspect and each of them should write a work report, and he would send it to our mailbox in a while. Early the next morning, we all handed over the printed report to the director, only Xiao Jiang didn't write anything, and he seemed to be nothing, and we couldn't help but sweat for him. The director looked at Xiao Jiang and asked angrily, "Where are your report materials?" Xiao Jiang said, "I didn't write it." The director slammed the materials in his hand on the table and asked Xiao Jiang why he dared to take his words as wind in his ears.
Xiao Jiang said unhurriedly: "Director, I can't blame this fact for two reasons: first, my wife said that I belong to the family after work, and I should wash vegetables, cook, laundry, and mop the floor, and I should not do anything unrelated to the family at home; Second, the computer at home is our private property, and my wife said that we are not allowed to use the computer at home to do things at work, which is a serious public behavior of private property! The director opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time. 166 Reading Network
