At this time, they Yelu Xiu Brother Xiao Tianzuo all felt a little strong insidious calculation, especially Xiao Tianzuo, he didn't dare to speak, since just now, Yelu Long continued to ask them questions, and only Yelu Xiu Ge asked him a few questions, but he Xiao Tianzuo never asked, not that he didn't dare to ask, but that his Yelu Long continued scheming was too terrible, and he would never dare to despise such an emperor anymore with such a terrible emperor?

Yelu Longxu will appreciate many people, but the person who does not appreciate the least is to be a smart person, as a king he has more terrible imperial skills than any emperor in history, in his opinion, as an emperor, if he can't play with his subordinates in applause, such an emperor is not an excellent emperor, so to speak, his father is not as scheming as him.

。 The main content of Han Fei's imperial art is the theory of the legal system, and its core gist is: the integration of law, art, and potential, especially the art and potential.

Han Fei's "Main Dao" thought in terms of technique is an important part of his imperial technique. The main way is the way of the monarch, which refers to the criteria for being a monarch.

Here, Han Fei applied the Taoist idea of ruling by inaction to political life, and expounded the criteria and methods of the monarch to govern the country and his ministers with art: first, the monarch should stick to humility and quietness; the second is that the monarch mainly examines the form of words (whether words and deeds, things and deeds are consistent); The third is that the monarch should correctly use the punishment.

The Tao is the origin of all things and the criterion for judging right and wrong. Therefore, a wise monarch can understand the origin of things by grasping this source, and by studying this criterion, he can understand the reasons for the success or failure of things.

Therefore, the monarch should treat everything with a humble attitude, and the name should be determined by its own reflection, and the matter should be determined by its own nature.

Only by being humble can we know the truth of things, and only by being calm can we know the good and evil of things. Those who have words will naturally speak their minds; Those who are in charge will naturally take action.

Words and deeds are verified and matched, and the monarch can remain silent and return things to their true state.

Therefore, the monarch should not show his desires, and the courtiers will decorate themselves carefully; The monarch should not reveal his intentions, and if he did, his courtiers would disguise themselves in order to meet them.

Therefore, the likes and dislikes of the monarch are invisible, so that the true performance of the courtiers can be seen; The monarch removes his personal preconceptions and ingenuity, and his courtiers will be vigilant and cautious in their work.

In this way, the monarch has wisdom and does not have to think, so that all things are in their original appearance and place; The monarch's talent is not used to show it, so that there is a basis for observing the words and deeds of his courtiers; The monarch has the courage not to be prestigious, so that the courtiers can give full play to their bravery.

Therefore, the monarch is more wise than he shows his wisdom, the monarch is more effective if he does not show his talents, and the monarch is more powerful than his courage.

The ministers do their duty, the officials have their own rules, and the monarch uses them according to their talents, which is called following the routine.

Therefore, it seems that you are not on the throne; O emptiness, none of the subjects can be sure where he is.

A wise monarch rules by inaction, and his ministers do their duty with sincerity and fear. The wise ruler is to use the way of the wise to give them as much as possible, and the monarch to decide the affairs of government according to their strategy, so that the wisdom of the monarch is infinite; The talents of the sovereign are infinite because they should give full play to their talents, and the sovereign acts on them according to their faculties; If you have established a meritorious service, you will show the good name of the monarch, and if you have committed a mistake, your courtiers will bear the responsibility, so the reputation of the monarch is infinite.

Therefore, the monarch is not virtuous but can be the teacher of the wise, and the monarch can be the ruler of the wise without wisdom.

The courtiers pay for their labors, and the monarch enjoys the achievements, this is the law of a wise monarch. The art of the monarch's statecraft lies in making the courtiers unobserved, and the application of the method of governing the country is that the courtiers cannot be known; The monarch maintains a quiet and inactive attitude, and uses hidden methods to observe the mistakes of his courtiers, seeing as if he does not see, hearing as if he does not hear, and knowing as if he does not know.

After knowing the words of the courtiers, they did not change them, and used the method of verification to observe whether they were consistent with their words and deeds.

Only one person should be appointed to each person's official position, and they should not be allowed to communicate with each other, and then the truth of everything will be completely exposed.

The monarch will carefully cover his tracks, hide his thoughts, so that his courtiers cannot detect them; If you don't show your wisdom, you don't show your talents, so that your courtiers can't be estimated.

Keeping the monarch's own intentions and assessing whether the courtiers are in harmony with his own ideas, carefully holding on to authority and firmly grasping it.

Cut off the courtiers' yearning for power, break the courtiers' attempts for power, and don't let people have the idea of seizing the throne.

If they do not act prudently and do not cover up the truth, the traitors will replace the monarch with the murder of their ministers, and his men will not participate, so they are called tigers.

The traitors who are at the side of the monarch take advantage of the monarch's mistakes, so they are called traitors. Only by dispersing their henchmen, collecting their remnants, sealing their homes, and taking away their accomplices, will the country be free of tigers.

The power of the monarch is immeasurable and undetectable, and the country is free of traitors by examining whether the name and form are consistent, examining and verifying the law, and punishing those who act without permission.

Thus there are five kinds of yongsai for the monarch: the courtiers close the message of the monarch; The courtiers took control of the property; Courtiers can cultivate henchmen; A courtier can be kind to others privately; The courtiers give orders without authorization.

When the courtiers close the news, the monarch loses his position; When a courtier controls property, the monarch loses his kindness; The courtiers call the shots, and the monarch loses control; If a courtier can give kindness to others privately, the monarch loses his wisdom; If a courtier can cultivate a private party, the monarch loses his subordinates.

This is the reason why the monarch should have sole authority and cannot let his courtiers hold authority. The art of the monarch is treasured by its calm and humility.

He did not personally deal with the affairs and knew the clumsiness and ingenuity of the courtiers; Do not think strategically and know the good and bad fortune and good fortune of the courtiers.

Therefore, the monarch does not have to express his opinion, and his courtiers should be allowed to present their political opinions well; It is not necessary to stipulate the requirements of things, but let the courtiers do more effects.

After the matter is done, the monarch holds it with a deed, and verifies the courtiers like a deed, and assesses whether the words and deeds are consistent with it, as the basis for rewards and punishments.

Therefore, the courtier makes a statement to the monarch, and the monarch mainly assigns appropriate tasks according to the statement, and obliges them to perform their due effects according to the assigned tasks.

Reward is given for the achievement of the effect that is consistent with the task given, and the completion of the task is consistent with the stated proposition; If the efficacy does not match the task, and the task and the proposition are contradictory, they will be punished.

The principle of a wise monarch does not allow the statement to be inconsistent with the facts. Therefore when the wise ruler gives his reward, it is as gentle as the rain of time, and the people receive his favor; When the monarch inflicts punishment, it is as majestic as the thunder ground, and even the holy do not run away.

Therefore a wise monarch does not arbitrarily give rewards or exempt from punishment. If you reward them casually, the ministers will slack off and be exempted from punishment, and the traitors will do whatever they want.

Therefore there is indeed merit, and even those who are alienated and lowly must be rewarded; If there is indeed a mistake, even those who are close to them must be severely punished.

In this way, the alienated and lowly will not be slack, and the close and beloved will not dare to be arrogant.

Han Fei's "Youdu" thought on the rule of law is an important part of his imperial art. Han Fei emphasized the importance of governing the country by law, emphasizing that the monarch should only govern the country according to the law.

The state has not remained consistently strong, nor has it always been weak. If those who enforce the law resolutely act according to law, then the country will be strong, and if those who enforce the law cannot firmly act according to law, then the country will be weak.

In today's world, if there is a monarch who can put an end to crooked ways for personal gain and strictly enforce the law, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will be stable and united. If there are courtiers who can get rid of their desire for selfish interests and abide by the law, the country will be strong and the enemy will be weak.

Therefore, as long as the monarch is aware of the gains and losses, and has the law to control the ministers, then the monarch will not be deceived by the cunning and hypocrisy of his subordinates; Examine the gains and losses, measure them by the law, and listen to things from afar, so that the monarch will not be deceived by the things that are inverted in the world.

Now, if talents are recommended according to reputation, then the ministers will turn away from the monarch and form a party for personal gain, and the friends will be treacherous; If officials are elected on the basis of their partisan affiliations, then the ministers will be keen to make friends and win over them, rather than seeking to act according to the laws of the country.

Therefore, if the officials are incompetent without talent, the country will be in chaos. Rewarding on the basis of false reputations and punishing on the basis of slander of others, those who love rewards and hate punishment will renounce their public deeds, play with personal means, and form friends to collude with each other to do bad things to each other.

They forget about the interests of the monarch and engage in personal relations outside the country, in order to use their power and use their henchmen, then there are fewer people at their level who can do things for the monarch.

They have a wide range of friends and many henchmen, and even if they have great sins, there are more people who cover for them.

Therefore, the loyal ministers were put to death when they were in danger, and the traitors were in vain but they were safe and profitable. If the loyal servants are put to death in distress, it is not because they are guilty, then the loyal will retreat; The traitorous ministers are stable and profitable not because they are meritorious, then the traitors will enter the imperial court, which is the fundamental reason for the decline of the country.

If this is the case, the ministers will abandon the law of the country, attach importance to the exercise of personal power, and despise the state.

They went to the homes of capable people who were good at forming parties and running private interests many times, but they did not go to the court of the monarch once; Hundreds of times the interests of private individuals are considered, and not once are considered for the monarch's state.

Although the number of subordinate officials is large, it is not used to respect the king; Although there are various official positions, they are not used to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the state.

In this case, although the monarch has the name of the monarch, in fact can only rely on private power.

Therefore I said: The court of the fallen country has no one who rules the country with respect for the king. The court has no respect for the people who rule the country, not that the courtiers in the court have decreased.

Private rivals strive to increase each other's wealth, but do not strive to enrich the country; The ministers were committed to elevating each other, but did not strive to respect the monarch; The ministers used their money to support their personal friends and did not take their positions seriously.

The reason for this situation is that the monarch does not act in accordance with the laws of the country, but allows his subordinates to do whatever they want.

For this reason, a wise monarch chooses talents according to the law, not only according to his own likes and dislikes; Merit is measured by the law, not just by subjective assumptions.

In this way, those who have talents and talents will not be buried in the quilt, and those who are incompetent will not be able to hide them, those who have a false name may not be used by luck, and those who have suffered criticism will not necessarily be wronged and ostracized.

Then, the monarch can be clear about the merits and wrongs of his subordinates, and the country will be easy to govern, so it is enough for the monarch to govern the country and respect everything by the law.

Han Fei's seven techniques and six micro methods in imperial art are the main points of his imperial technique. Han Fei said: There are seven methods used by the monarch to control the ruler and the minister, and there are six secret situations that the monarch needs to see.

The so-called seven techniques are the seven methods of the emperor: one is to refer to and observe from each person's aspect; second, it must be punished to show the majesty of the monarch; the third is to reward those who are loyal to the country; Fourth, listen to opinions one by one and urge them to act; fifth, to issue suspicious edicts and deceitfully drive courtiers; Sixth, when they grasped the facts, they asked the courtiers; The seventh is to deliberately say the opposite, do things contrary to reason to spy on the courtiers, these seven methods are the imperial techniques that the monarch needs to use.

The so-called six micro are six hidden subtle situations: first, the monarch provides power to his subordinates; the second is that the interests of the monarch and the ministers are different, and the subordinates use external forces for personal gain; the third is that the subordinates pretend to deceive the monarch by pretending to do similar things; Fourth, the interests of the monarch and the minister are opposite to each other; Fifth, the confusion of hierarchy and ranking leads to internal power struggle; Sixth, the enemy countries conspire to appoint and dismiss ministers according to their intentions.

One of the Seven Techniques to visit. If the monarch observes his words and deeds and listens to his opinions, he will not be able to understand the real situation without repeatedly referring to and verifying, and he will be deceived by his courtiers if he listens to one or the other.

Let the courtiers of both sides with equal power participate in politics as enemies. Two of the seven spells must be punished. If the monarch is too benevolent, the rule of law cannot be established; If the monarch is not majestic enough, his subordinates will infringe on the monarch.

Therefore, if the punishment is not resolutely enforced, the legal order cannot be enforced. Three of the Seven Arts. If the reward and honor are light and not honored, the courtiers will not do their best for the monarch, and if the rewards and honors are heavy and keep their promises, the courtiers will work for the monarch.

(Everyone sees where the benefits are, there is no real sense of warrior and loyalty) four of the seven arts. The monarch listens to the opinions one by one, and the foolish and the clever will not be confused; If you are good at reprimanding your courtiers, your courtiers will not be mixed.

This is a clear truth if you listen to both, and a secret truth if you listen partially. Five of the Seven Tricks. The monarch summons his ministers many times, and stays by his side for a long time without acting on them, and others will think that he has accepted the special will of the monarch, and the wicked people will flee like a deer frightened.

Send others to inquire about other matters, and your subordinates will not dare to seek personal gain. Six of the Seven Techniques of Wisdom. If you have mastered what you already know and ask your subordinates, then you will know what you don't know. If you understand one thing deeply, many hidden things will become clear.

Seven of the Seven Arts. If you try to doubt and indecisive things by saying bad things and doing the opposite, you will be able to understand the situation of treachery.

One of the six micro rights borrowed. The power of the monarch cannot be lent to others. When the monarch loses a piece of power, his subordinates use it as a hundredfold of power.

Therefore, if the subordinates can rely on the power of the monarch, the power will be strong; The power is strong, and he is used by him inside and outside the court; If he is used inside and outside the court, then the monarch will be deceived by him.

Two out of six are different. The interests of the monarch and the ministers are different, so the ministers have no loyalty, the interests of the ministers are gained, but the interests of the monarch are lost.

Therefore, the traitor summoned the army of the enemy country to get rid of the opponent at home, and proposed diplomatic matters to confuse the monarch, and if he could obtain private benefits, he did not care about the calamity of the state.

Three of the six micro-similar. The ministers pretended to deceive the monarch by pretending to do something like this, which is why the monarch's punishment was improper and the ministers were able to seek personal gain.

Four of the six micro have the opposite. It has happened, and if it is beneficial, the monarch should preside over it; If it's harmful, be sure to look at it from the other side.

Therefore, when a wise monarch considers things that are harmful to the state, he will look at words and looks to see who benefits from them, and his courtiers must examine his opposites when they are harmed.

Five of the six are suspicious. The power that is contested by the people is the source of trouble, so a wise monarch is very cautious about it.

Six of the six micro are discarded. What the enemy country strives to pursue is to make people observe and do things wrongly; If the monarch does not examine it carefully, he will appoint and dismiss ministers according to the intentions of the enemy country.

If you use a strategy, you will attack it with a temple. The views and contents of other aspects of Han Fei's imperial art. -- Han Fei believes that a wise monarch should not only praise the speaker's eloquence and observe a person's behavior, but should not be able to take his broadness as a virtuous ability, but should be good at listening to contrary words.

-- If you do things with the idea of relying on others, you will blame and complain, and if you have the attitude of doing things on your own, then you will succeed.

-- Where there is gain, the people return, and the scholars sacrifice their lives for the things that make a name for themselves.

Therefore, if the unlawful merit is rewarded, then the monarch will not be able to benefit from his subordinates, but he will praise the unlawful fame, and the scholars will encourage each other to pursue fame, and fame and fortune will not be kept in the hands of the monarch.

-- The Book of Songs says: If the monarch does not lead by example, the people will not believe it. With a small credit, a large credit can be established, so a wise monarch accumulates prestige by keeping his word.

If the reward is not kept, the ban cannot be enforced. -- What was meant to be forbidden, but to be benefited, and what was meant to be forbidden, was forbidden, so that even a man of God would not work.

Praising those who should be traitorous and slandering those who should be rewarded, even Tang Yao Yushun cannot govern the country well.

The cause of the troubles is to make a gate so that no one can enter, and to give advantage and not to make people enter. -- If the courtiers are humble and frugal in their actions, the title is not enough to show a reward, and if there is no moderation in favor and commendation, the courtiers will encroach on the monarch.

-- When the status of the public office declines, it is taboo to tell the truth, and the behavior of seeking personal gain is prevalent, and few people contribute to the state.

-- If the power of the monarch cannot educate the courtiers, get rid of them. -- The monarch is the target of the arrow of benefit and harm, and there are always many people who want to shoot this target, so the monarch is the target of everyone.

When the monarch's likes and dislikes are expressed, his subordinates will have something to rely on, and the monarch will be confused, and the monarch will speak the words of his subordinates, so that the traitors will not be disrespectful, and it will be difficult for the truly knowledgeable people to speak, and in this way, the monarch will not be wise.

-- There is a reason why the law and magic cannot be implemented, in short, there are villains and evil people around you.

-- Anyone who cannot encourage him with rewards and praises, who cannot be frightened by punishment or slander, and who cannot change by adding all four methods of reward, praise, punishment and slander, must be eliminated.

-- Those who are good at wielding power should cut off the sprouts of doing bad things as soon as possible. -- Shen Bu said that when the monarch shows his discernment, his subordinates will be on his guard; If the monarch does not show it, his subordinates will be confused by him.

When the wisdom of the monarch is manifested, the courtiers will beautify him, and when the stupidity of the monarch is manifested, the courtiers will deceive him, the monarch will show that he has no pursuit, and the courtiers will spy on him, and the monarch will show that he has no desire, and the courtiers will seduce him.

Therefore, my mind cannot be known by others, as long as you treat me honestly, even if you know my mind.

-- The power of reward and punishment is shared among the kings and ministers, and the decrees cannot be carried out, because the favor and power are scattered. -- The stability and strength of the country are obtained by acting according to the rule of law, and the weakness and turmoil are caused by the perversion of selfish interests, and the sovereign understands this, and should apply rewards and punishments justly, rather than being merciful to his subordinates.

When the courtiers understand this truth, they will try their best to make meritorious service without paying attention to the monarch personally.

The monarch deeply understands that there is no need to be benevolent, and the courtiers deeply understand that there is no need to talk about personal loyalty, then they can be called the king of the world.

-- A wise monarch who draws on the experience of foreign countries, but does not succeed if it is not appropriate to learn from foreign countries.

-- A monarch is a man who adheres to the law and obliges his subordinates to fulfill their duties in order to establish meritorious deeds. I have only heard that the officials are in chaos and there are still people who are alone, and I have not heard of the people who are in rebellion but there are still officials who rule the country according to the law, so the wise monarch values the governance of the officials rather than the people.

-- Conform to the rules and succeed without exertion. As the emperor doesn't like smart people very much, Yelu Longxu likes to read Han Feizi very much, so he is very good at controlling the hearts of his subordinates, and at this moment, Yelu Hugo is not smart himself, so he is very good at appreciating this kind of people.

Throughout the ages, all smart people have died early, just like characters like Li Si Lü Buwei of the Qin Dynasty will die early, and Xiao Tianzuo will be like this because he has heard such things?

This can also show that the emperor is even more terrible than before!
