Chapter 1223: The Way of Governing the World
The book is picked up again.
Since Guo Yi studied with Li Zhi, Li Zhi has always thought that the most important thing Guo Yi should learn is how to get along with others.
So he edited the way he knew about getting along with people, plus a little psychology he knew, into a book called "Heart Art", which he used to teach Guo Yi.
Originally, he thought that as long as Guo Yi learned this, he would be able to be at ease under Cao Cao's command.
After all, he is the son of the Guo family and his apprentice of Li Zhi, as long as he learns how to get along with others, he will definitely be able to mix like a fish in water under Cao Cao.
But he didn't expect Guo Yi to encounter such a big disaster, if he had known about it, he would definitely give all the other knowledge in his heart to Guo Yi.
At this time, Guo Yi finally understood Li Zhi's good intentions, so he bowed deeply to Li Zhi with a guilty face, and said: "It's the apprentice who doesn't know the master's good intentions, and asks the master to forgive his sins!" ”
"Get up" Li Zhi raised his hand slightly, and said: "This matter is actually to blame for the teacher, who thought that as long as he taught you some ways to get along with others, you would be able to mix like a fish in water under the command of Brother Meng De."
But now, it seems that the world is unpredictable, and no one knows what they will encounter in the next moment, so it is indeed a little inappropriate to teach you only mental skills.
In this case, from now on, you should learn some ways of "doing things" as a teacher. ”
"The way to do things?" After hearing Li Zhi's words, Guo Yi asked with a puzzled face: "Master, what is the way to do things?" ”
After Li Zhi heard Guo Yi's inquiry, he didn't answer, but stood up and said, "You said you came for the teacher" and took Guo Yi outside.
Seeing this, Guo Yi obediently followed Li Zhi out of the study.
After Li Zhi took Guo Yi to Cao Cao's mansion not far away, Li Zhi said: "The so-called way of "generals" refers to the use of general's thinking to handle government affairs! ”
"Handle government affairs with the thinking of a general?!!" After Guo Yi heard Li Zhi's explanation, he was taken aback.
Just kidding, the general's thinking is okay to use to march and fight, to deal with government affairs......
Isn't that a big mess?!
After thinking of this, Guo Yi cautiously asked, "Master, isn't the general just used to march and fight?"
It's okay for their thinking to march and fight, and it's okay to deal with government affairs, isn't it... Isn't that a bit inappropriate? ”
"Hehe......" Li Zheng shook his head after chuckling when he heard this, and said: "Everything in the world has the same goal, and it is not impossible to use the thinking of a general to handle government affairs."
Think about it, how do those generals feel to you when they deal with affairs on weekdays? ”
"This ......" Guo Yi hesitated for a while when he heard this, and then frowned and said: "Decisive, domineering and resolute!" ”
After saying this, Guo Yi suddenly showed an expression of understanding.
I didn't want to know, I was shocked when I thought about it, but now that I think about it, he finds that there seems to be nothing wrong with using the thinking of a general to handle government affairs.
The use of decisiveness and domineering in handling official affairs is indeed a bit unpeaceful, but it can also make government affairs pass quickly.
In this way, it is inevitable that the policies of the higher authorities will be quickly passed on.
However, there is a downside to this, and that is because the transmission is too fast, if the superior's
If the policy is not good, it can easily cause trouble!
After thinking about this, Guo Yi frowned and said, "Master, although it is true that there is something unique about using the thinking of a general to govern the world, but in general, it still does more harm than good, right?"
Because although the thinking of a general is used to govern the world, it can indeed quickly make politics clear.
However, if there is a powerful minister in the court, won't his erroneous ideas quickly erode the world?! ”
In Guo Yi's view, in order to win the battle, the generals will concentrate all their rights in one person, and if there are many orders, it is easy to cause the soldiers to not know who to listen to, which will lead to defeat.
But this situation can only be applied to marching and fighting, and if it is applied to politics, it will cause a very serious consequence - the minister!
When power is concentrated in one person, if that person is a virtuous minister, then it is better to say, if it is a powerful minister, then it will not become a disaster?!
But here's the problem, even a virtuous minister will be difficult to hold on to after getting this great right, and I'm afraid that he will eventually become a traitor and a powerful minister!
Characters such as Zhou Gong are really rare to see in a thousand years!
"Hehe......" After Li Zhi heard the words of the other place, he chuckled lightly and said: "Being a teacher is about letting you use the thinking of a general to deal with government affairs, not letting you use the thinking of a general to deal with power, you have to separate government affairs from power!"
Government affairs are responsibilities, power is rewards, and they are essentially different.
In other words, you can only have enough power if you have enough responsibility!
To put it bluntly, it's how much you can get rewarded for your efforts!
And where do these rewards come from? Isn't it all from the boss, that is, Brother Meng De?
Therefore, what the teacher wants to teach you is to use the vigorous and resolute actions of a general to do things for Brother Meng De and be loyal to Brother Meng De, and after that, Brother Meng De, who has clear rewards and punishments, will definitely give you enough power according to what you do!
In this way, even if it happens to you today, you can handle it with the thinking of a general. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and asked Guo Yi expectantly: "Yi'er, you now regard yourself as a general, and then think back about today's events, what do you think you will do?" ”
"......" Guo Yi frowned and thought after hearing Li Zhi's words.
After a while, he said with some hesitation: "If the disciple is a general, when facing today's incident, the disciple will rush to the lord's mansion as quickly as possible, and then explain the cause and effect of this matter, and finally make amends to the lord......
After saying this, Guo Yi was suddenly stunned.
Because if he really did this, then he didn't have to let the Guo family take him to Li Zhi to apologize, and the matter would be over directly!
He understands Cao Cao, if he really tells the matter and the plate, then Cao Cao will inevitably take the matter away, and then let him go lightly.
Because for Cao Cao, loyalty is the most important thing!
Guo Yi was able to risk being razed by the three clans to reveal this matter, which proves that Guo Yi is very loyal to Cao Cao!
In the face of such a loyal person, of course Cao Cao will not hesitate to protect him!
After thinking of this, Guo Yi was a little clear, and he knew why Li Zhi wanted him to act with the thinking of a general.
Look at the face
Guo Yi, who had a sudden look, Li Zhi asked with a smile: "Figured it out?" ”
"Got it!" After Guo Yi smiled bitterly, he nodded and said, "If the disciple reported this matter to the lord immediately after the incident, then there would be no matter today."
Besides, if the apprentice could think about things with the thinking of a general, then when the apprentice was playing a clever trick on Uncle Yang, he should have understood the serious consequences, and he would definitely not do so, and he would not have caused such a catastrophe! ”
If he had been able to think about things with the thinking of a general that day, then he would definitely have been able to figure out the calamity that led Yang Ying out of Li Zhi's mansion.
That way, he wouldn't have made such mistakes.
After thinking of this, Guo Yi let out a long sigh, frowned tightly and asked, "Master, is it wrong to use the thinking of a literati to handle things like my father?" ”
"Who is right and who is wrong, it's just a matter of applicability!" After Li Zhi shook his head, he stretched out a finger and said, "First, your father was born poor and thin, if you want to get ahead, you have to follow the literature, so she has no choice, she can only think about things from the perspective of a literati." ”
After saying this, Li Zhi stretched out a second finger, "Second, although your Guo family has declined, in general, you still have the foundation of the family.
Especially after your father's rise, your Guo family has become a small family.
And most of the families are passed down by culture, only in this way will your Guo family not be ostracized by other families.
So your father can only use the thinking of a literati to handle government affairs, even if he knows that the thinking of a general is more suitable for him, he must do so! ”
After finishing speaking, Li Zhi was a little melancholy.
In fact, he has persuaded Guo Jia many times that there is no need to follow the rules, and there is no need to wronged himself in order to bear the entire Guo family.
According to the strength and strength of the two of them, there is no need to look at anyone's face, let alone abide by the rules of others, because they are the ones who make the rules!
But Guo Jia didn't listen and still did it!
"......" Guo Yi was silent after hearing Li Zhi's words, he didn't expect his father to be under so much pressure behind his back.
Thinking about his nonsense in the past, Guo Yi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Master, why can the apprentice turn his back on the family's practices and use the thinking of a general to handle government affairs?" ”
"Hahaha......" After Li Zhi heard Guo Yidi's words, he laughed heartily, pointed to himself and said, "Because you are my Li Zhi's apprentice!"
As a teacher, you are a famous general in the world, and as an apprentice of a teacher, others can't say anything if you act with the thinking of a general!
And the reason why today's teacher brought you to Brother Meng De's mansion is to let you meet this master who handles government affairs with the thinking of a general! ”
"Uh......" Guo Yi was stunned for a moment before he figured out who Li Zhi was talking about, and asked, "Does the master refer to the lord?" ”
"That's right!" After Li Zhi nodded with a smile, he said: "Brother Meng De is a general, and after getting so many places, he also habitually uses the thinking of a general to handle government affairs.
Over time, he has achieved great things on this path!
That's why the teacher will bring you to meet him, you have to work hard, and strive to learn all the skills of Brother Meng De. ”
