Chapter 294: Putting on a Show Is Risky (2)
Zhao Yu comes from an era of Internet celebrities, so he naturally knows that life is like a big show, and the show is very useful, and the small is useful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info small and use, can earn fame, get praise; large and use, can become the people's heart, the trend of the people's heart. But it is also a double-edged sword, it can bring honor, money, and beauty, but it can also bring disaster, and even ruin. So in his opinion, whether it is a show or a name, the key lies in secrecy and knowing how to stop in moderation.
This is different from selling fame and reputation, if everyone sees through it when it is a show, then the end will inevitably be bad. And if you want to hype yourself, at least you have to be a little hard. If there is a phenomenon that is difficult to live up to under the fame, it can be said that it is a failure. Of course, it's not hard to get the real thing. There is a specialization in the art industry, and people always have a bit of a skill. No matter how bad it is, it's always going to be cute! No matter how bad it is, it's not impossible to be famous.
At the beginning, in order to save his life, Zhao Yu also did a few shows, and relied on his experience in his previous life to cure Liu Huang and the patients on the ship on the plague ship, and used the storm bottle to calculate the pursuing Yuan army; In the DPRK, he used his historical knowledge to predict that the Mongols would retreat north and the counteroffensive would be defeated; In Guangzhou, when he was 'recklessly expropriating and expropriating,' he extended a wide range of favors, also in order to stabilize the people's hearts and prevent the people from stirring up a rebellion; he also showed off a few small handfuls in Qiongzhou, which was to enhance his prestige and warn his subordinates. Although there are twists and turns, they have all achieved success, relying on real materials, and Tong Su is not bullied.
Besides, Wang Mang was already the great Sima of the dynasty at this time through a few big shows, and he mastered the government, and his true nature was gradually revealed. And the treacherous people throughout the ages have no label on their faces, but these people have done everything to achieve their own goals, and sometimes they even behave more than gentlemen. Therefore, he was humble and cautious at that time, and his fame was all over the world, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the whole world were all turned around by him. Bai Juyi has a poem that is well written: Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and corporal. If you die at that time, who knows if you are loyal through the ages.
At this time, if Wang Mang stops, he will definitely be among the famous ministers of the ages. But Wang Mang had already lost his way, thinking that he could fool everyone in the world, so he forgot how many bowls of dry rice he could eat. In order to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, she demoted the Empress Dowager Fu and Empress Zhao, who usually offended her, causing many people to commit suicide. The Empress Dowager was full of joy, thinking that Wang Mang had made a bad breath for her, but in fact, this was Wang Mang clearing the way for her to further seize power in the future.
He neither knows how to fight, nor does he know how to govern the country and the people, in order to consolidate his position, he still relies on show. He secretly sent someone to Yizhou and told the local governor that he should buy the barbarians outside the Saiwai and pretend that the Yueshang clan would come to the court to pay tribute, and then make a big fuss about it, saying that the annexation of ethnic minorities was all the credit of Wang Mang, and that the Han Dynasty would be stable only if Wang Mang was there. It seems that this show now uses the word-of-mouth advertising method. One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.
After that, Wang Mang made full use of the show to destroy the locust plague by bitter meat, and made his daughter the queen by retreating, imitating the Duke of Zhou to pray for the sick emperor's birthday. Finally, after the death of the emperor, he held the young emperor as the 'Duke of Zhou', and let the local officials make a big show and send himself to the throne of the emperor. In this way, a natural master of showmanship stole the world of the Han family. This is the pinnacle of show life, from ancient times to the present, no one can match.
It's a pity that people who are used to putting on a show are like people who are addicted to drugs, and their addictions are still there. As soon as the new dynasty was established, Wang Mang began to restructure. As for the restructuring, to put it bluntly, it is still a show. In the early days of reform, Wang Mang was convinced that he could succeed, but the result was internal and external difficulties, which eventually led to chaos in the world. At the critical moment when the rebel army attacked Chang'an, Wang Mang still believed in the Mandate of Heaven, and he made the last self-style show in his life. He led his ministers to the southern suburbs of Chang'an, crying and sacrificing to the sky, and all those who cried and mourned were given official positions, but he was still killed by a businessman in a small black house where he was hiding, and the show finally made him pay the price of his life, and finally laughed at history......
Who doesn't want to succeed, such a wonderful case Zhao Yu also studied it carefully back then, but gave up because he really didn't have such a thick skin and talent. But he also knows that he has won the envy of everyone by virtue of his talent of "learning without noticing", but when they grow up, the mode of thinking about problems and handling things has been fixed, forming a stable and unchanging routine. When their way of thinking coincides with the development of objective things, they tend to do a lot of things naturally.
However, it is precisely when Wang Mang is doing things that he completely relies on his own feelings, rather than rational analysis, so that he cannot rationally reorganize his successful experience, cannot sublimate his experience into a rational understanding and use it to guide himself in a new round of competition, and only relies on assumptions and old experience to do things will of course fail.
Zhao Yu knows his strength, his success at this time depends on the experience and insight of his previous life, which has many fluke elements, more like improvisation, on the matter, for long-term planning is still very superficial, especially the lack of deep understanding of the development strategy. And his nature is 'timid' and soft-hearted, which is the fatal weakness of those who do great things. Then there is the limited talent of himself, and he has to rack his brains to manage the marshal's mansion, and if he barely leads a country, he will mislead the country and the people.
And the fundamental reason that made Zhao Yu afraid of the throne was that he knew that the throne was a time bomb at the moment, maybe it would explode in a while, what was the difference between sitting on it every day and waiting for death, plus the failure in his previous life made him not want to take responsibility anymore. So everything I did before was to save my life, and to go deeper was to make myself more comfortable and comfortable. If it weren't for the fact that he knew the danger of occupying the city, he would rather go to the front station on behalf of Chen Yizhong himself, and whoever loves to be the emperor will go.
Now those 'well-wishers' want to package themselves as a good person with great ambitions and the courage to serve the country and the people, to be honest, Zhao Yu still admires them very much, because in ancient China, who could be the emperor, in some historical moments, is indeed full of chance, and there is no inevitability. If there is to be inevitability, it can only be said by his achievements and virtues. If the common people don't accept it, it's useless to be an emperor. The common people accepted it, and whoever became the emperor was the same. However, after being accepted by the common people and society, generally speaking, the emperor is no longer anyone's right to be the emperor...... (To be continued.) )
