Chapter 11: Kuang Hongtao Qi Chen coffin, golden dragon carp into the cave court

Section 1: 'Empress Ma's Theory'

It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva watched the moon in the open air outside the Leiyin Treasure Temple in Tianzhu Lingshan on the night of August 15 (Mid-Autumn Festival) in the crisp autumn of that year, and truthfully reported to the Buddha and the gods the whole process of the "main displacement of the stack" in the dragon vein holy land of Tianzigang.

The reason for the 'main displacement of the stack' in the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land is intricate. After exploring and thinking, Guanyin Bodhisattva summarized that there are four main factors, and they happened to gather together. First, the Queen Mother blames Guanyin Bodhisattva for acting arbitrarily and despising heaven; The second is that the Queen Mother complains that Guanyin Bodhisattva abused Chang'e as a 'special envoy' to disrupt the Heavenly Court's 'love rules'; third, the Heavenly Court Police Wang Lingguan was jealous of Chang'e's dedication to Zhu Wuneng; and fourth, when he became the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang of Fengyang, Anhui Province, had a better personal quality than Chen Youliang.

The Queen Mother repeatedly investigated and compared the characters of Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, and finally decided to protect Zhu Yuanzhang as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Yuanzhang does have many excellent conditions for being the emperor compared with Chen Youliang.

Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, in addition to his own quality is much superior to Chen Youliang, there is another point that Zhu Yuanzhang has found a good wife with a mediocre appearance and talent.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been engaged in herding since he was a child, and he has never studied in a formal school, so he has developed a good body. When he was young, he worked as a monk for a few years and learned several ways of fist and foot kung fu from his teacher, which was originally used for self-defense. Later, when he joined the army to fight, he appeared to be brave and resourceful than ordinary people, and was soon reused by Guo Zixing, the commander of the army. Guo Zixing first changed Zhu Yuanzhang to a personal soldier, and then married his adopted daughter Ma Shi to him! Guo Zixing's adopted daughter Ma was born in a famous and powerful family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, familiar with the 'Four Books, Five Classics and Six Meanings', has a unique theoretical and ideological system, and is Zhu Yuanzhang's top and most powerful virtuous helper. After Zhu Yuanzhang married Ma, he loved Ma's literary talent and obeyed his words!

Zhu Yuanzhang's wife Ma's "Imperial Power Theory", "Imperial Children's Education Rules", "Goal Guidance Theory", "Quantitative Talent Employing Theory", etc., have played a great role in the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty foundation created by Zhu Yuanzhang for nearly 300 years (276 years of the Ming Dynasty and 22 years of the Southern Ming Dynasty)! 'Marshalles' Theory

The "Imperial Power Theory" in the "Ma Theory" system is concise and clear, and the meaning is very deep!

Ma once said to Zhu Yuanzhang: Fight the country and rely on martial arts; Guan Jiangshan relies on literature; Spread the word that the country relies on controlling the balance of power between civil and military!

It depends on military attachés to fight the country, and civilian officials rely on it to manage the country. Managing Jiangshan is different from fighting Jiangshan. Fight the country by bravery! Manage the country and rely on conspiracy! To fight the country is to kill everyone (group soldiers) and subdue (dismantle generals) alone. There are no weak soldiers under strong generals! Without a brave and resourceful general, there is no way to command or train soldiers who dare to fight! Throughout the ages, it was the handsome generals who controlled the army and won the battle to seize the imperial power! Throughout the history of Chinese emperors, every dynasty announced that the emperor of that dynasty began to change his surname because the army suffered a defeat!

Manage the country by policy! By regulations! It is necessary to use literati to establish rules and regulations! The emperor ruled by imposing strict laws. When someone violates the law, no matter how powerful he is, how high his position is, whether he is a relative of the emperor or an ordinary person, he must be arrested; Those who should be in prison should be in prison; Those who should be killed must be killed. Guan Jiangshan relies on killing (leading) one person (intimidating) everyone. As the saying goes, 'kill a police officer and a hundred', 'kill a chicken to show the monkey', all of which are the great principles of managing the country!

Spread the word that the country relies on controlling the balance of power between civil and military! When the emperor wants to secure his position, he must give mutual trust, mutual understanding, and mutual supervision to the civil and military officials around him! The purpose of setting up civilian and military attaches is to supervise each other. Don't be afraid of conflicts between civil and military officials, when the emperor must learn to control the balance of power between the civil and military officials! No matter which faction is tough, you have to pinch out the extra tough part in time! No matter how much credit he had before. When your subordinates are high, your throne will be crumbling! For the ministers around you, you have to adjust the handsome generals with outstanding achievements in time! Let those with unique abilities be the deputy of the ministers of each ministry, and let the mediocre ones be the leaders of the ministers of each ministry! Let the mediocre ability be the coach and give orders in front of you, and let the deputy with superior ability stay away from you and go to the field to work hard! Only by controlling the balance of power of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in this way can you secure your throne! During the reign of every emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he practiced according to this 'theory', and the Zhu dynasty would not change his surname for generations!

Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, and he comprehended and practiced Ma's "Imperial Power Theory" completely, accurately and ahead of time! After Zhu Yuanzhang died depressed in his later years, in order to ensure that his grandson succeeded to the throne firmly, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the generals, and the founding heroes were killed by him. Hu Weiyong is the prime minister of Zuo, who was accused of plotting rebellion without authority. Zhu Yuanzhang not only killed him, but also connected more than 10,000 people. Lan Yu was a highly decorated general and was named the Duke of Liangguo. Jinyi Wei officials accused him of rebellion. Zhu Yuanzhang also killed him. More than 15,000 people were condemned by the clan. Almost all the brave generals were killed in this case. He changed his way and killed the last founding hero - Xu Da! Xu Da had gangrene on his back. Steamed goose is most taboo for this disease. Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to envoy the minister to give him the steamed goose to eat. Xu Da had to eat the steamed goose in front of the envoy with tears. Soon after, Xu Da died of illness. Zhu Yuanzhang also deliberately 'found fault' and took the opportunity to suppress two more famous 'sour and spicy' literati. First, Lin Yuanliang, a professor of Zhejiang Fuxue, helped others write a thanksgiving table and wrote a sentence "Acting as a rule". Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on saying "then", which was to scold him as a thief. The second is Jiang Zhen, the instructor of Changzhou Mansion, who wrote the first congratulatory table for people, which has a sentence "Wisdom is born of knowledge". Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on mistaking "life" for "monk". thought that he deliberately scolded him for being a monk. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the execution of Lin and Jiang. Zhu Yuanzhang's "move" to kill the 'Zhongwu Erwen' shocked the civil and military officials of the current dynasty, and they were all frightened and obedient! So that his throne was smoothly transferred to the grandson. Taisun according to Ma's "theory of imperial power"! Very smoothly transferred the imperial power to the descendants of the Zhu family. Ma's "Imperial Power Theory" has guided the people surnamed Zhu to hereditary (imperial) dynasty for nearly three hundred years! "The Theory of Imperial Power"

The "law of education for the children of the royal family" in the Ma's theory system is advanced, the ideas are novel, the practice is long-lasting, and the results are remarkable! After Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, Empress Ma said to Zhu Yuanzhang: Our methods of educating children must be different from those of ordinary people. Our children must not only be literate and compose, but also learn to govern the country and learn to be people. Our children, it is not enough to have 'generals', they must all have 'handsome talents'. 'Generals' have achieved brilliant results, and 'handsome' thinking can shine! For our children, it is not enough to grasp the amount of knowledge taught by the teacher! That is, it is not enough for our children to be limited to being teachers. Our children must have the amount of knowledge at the level of a mentor in order to rule the country and serve the people with their talents! Because, teacher, just follow the script! Mentors can innovate! Teachers can only follow the books to help students in literacy and composition. Professors also educate students based on textbooks and with reference to the knowledge of other side subjects. Mentors are different. Mentors innovate their own new theories by summarizing the lessons of those who have gone before them. The theory of the mentor can become a beacon to lead the progress of one or many groups! "The Way of Confucius and Mencius (Guide)" means that Confucius and Mencius are teachers. Whoever becomes a student who has mastered their theories will be the pride of his peers. Only the proud son of his peers, on the basis of mastering the essence of the previous mentor's theory, has created a unique and innovative theory according to the changes in social development. And use their own innovative theories to cultivate and guide future generations to surpass their peers and become arrogant! This kind of theory is the theory of the mentor level! This kind of talent is the talent of the mentor level. Our children and grandchildren, only by becoming mentor-level talents, can they keep the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation and never change their surnames! All of our royal descendants must have superior instincts beyond ordinary people in order to rule the country left by our ancestors. Our children and grandchildren will be leaders in every way. Their words and deeds have the function of leading the people to follow suit. If their conduct is fair, the society will progress and the country will be preserved. On the contrary, society will be able to regress, and sooner or later the country will be lost!

After Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he cultivated and educated his children and grandchildren in full accordance with the "Ma Theory". Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the cultural education of his sons. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he invited the best scholars in the country to be teachers for his children and grandchildren. Zhu Yuanzhang asked his sons to study hard and cultivate virtues. Zhu Yuanzhang said to the teachers: A piece of beautiful jade must be carved by a good jade craftsman! Educating people is the first thing to do. With a good heart, everything will be done smoothly. The heart is not right, Chu wants to attack, and nothing can be accomplished. My children and grandchildren can't just learn to read and compose! My children will be in charge of the country in the future, and the disciples of Chu Gongchen will also be officials. To educate my children and grandchildren, we must emphasize practical learning and teaching, not only memorizing articles, but also applying them flexibly. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's strict education, when Chu Zi became an adult, he was mostly capable and could do things. Some are good at commanding troops, some are good at writing, and some are well-equipped with civil and military skills. Therefore, the first 200 years of the Ming Dynasty were as stable as Mount Tai! This is undoubtedly closely related to Zhu Yuanzhang's cultivation and education of children and grandchildren in accordance with the "Ma Theory"!

The "Theory of Employing People by Quantity" in the "Ma Theory" system implies a big truth in a small truth! After careful consideration, it is unforgettable. After Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, Ma said to Zhu Yuanzhang: Calling the emperor a Ming monarch is the most important thing to choose a successor! If you don't choose a successor on the job, you can only have the notoriety of a generation of 'faint kings' after death! When you become an emperor, you must guide your successor to 'use people according to your needs'! 'Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious! 'Tailor-made, beautifully dressed!' Employing people's strengths, performance is doubled. The 'literati' should be regulated by the 'acid-base adjustment method'. Ma once said to Zhu Yuanzhang: Since ancient times, literati have been arrogant! Most of the literati are pure and proud. The literati value the temperament and the fame! Once the monarch adopts the "advice and advice" of a literati, that literati will immediately say Long live the monarch, long live, long live! If the monarch does not adopt the 'advice' of any literati, that literati will sourly claim that he has no talent, and that the monarch mistakenly regards the 'donkey' as a good horse. Some will also write articles satirizing the monarch for grinding tofu with a maxima, wasting talents! The emperor wants to use the pride of the literati to destroy the pride of the literati! Let everyone in the world know that there is a sky outside the sky! There is a god outside of men! The best of the best, the stronger of the best. After the masters, there are high gods! No matter how much ability you hide, the monarch uses you, you are a capable person! The monarch doesn't need you, you're a fee! Two different kitchen knives, one white and sharp; A handful of rust. You use a rusty kitchen knife to cut vegetables every day, and over time, the rusty kitchen knife becomes a white and sharp kitchen knife! It was originally a white and sharp kitchen knife, and it was idle for a long time, and the owner never used it. If you are a literati, you should be self-aware! Be humble and cautious! The monarch will shine with you! The monarch doesn't need you, you can be sharp! Hide your excess talent and wait for the right time! Otherwise, your arrogance will be cut off by the monarch! No matter how handsome you are, as long as you are not in the position of the monarch, you will never be able to fight the emperor who is surrounded by a circle of "military generals and handsome"! This is an unbreakable truth! The handsome man who can be a monarch must also learn to accumulate and cultivate sharpness, and the Shen Mansion must be deep! Learn to adapt to the environment! Respect the ancestors, respect the virtuous, cultivate cronies, and wait for the opportunity! With the opportunity, you become a monarch, and you can play as you want! When you don't have the time, you accept your fate! Let the fame of a lifetime be lost with the wind! Leave a good name as a Qing official literati to educate future generations (warning)!

The "goal guidance theory" in the "Ma Theory" system educates future generations to be determined and diligent, and to learn to have a good attitude to achieve goals and a strategy to achieve goals with half the effort! Ma once said to Zhu Yuanzhang that you are a handsome person who does great things. The unified army must be dignified to fight! You do ten things, and you have to do seven of them well. So that you can make your subordinates admire! At the same time, you must do three bad things out of ten things so that your subordinates will stay away from you! As the saying goes: If you don't do seven good things as an official, no one respects them; No one is afraid if you don't do three bad things! Ma once said to Zhu Yuanzhang: When you are in charge, you must be fair and honest. Convince people with reason, rule people by law, and educate people with morality. There is no distance in the selection of talents (referring to oneself)! As long as you set rules that are good for the majority. There is no delicious meal in the cafeteria, and there is no thing in the world that everyone is satisfied with. Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind! As long as the laws and regulations you establish are beneficial to the majority, you will be a famous monarch in the history of the country! As a commander and a monarch, we must master and apply the 'goal guidance theory', cultivate subordinates to correct their behavioral motivations, and achieve the original goals as soon as possible. People with the same IQ can achieve the same goal under the same conditions, and whether they can be assisted by the 'goal guidance theory', and the results of achieving the goal between them are completely different. When people's actions have a clear goal, and they constantly compare their actions with the goal, and clearly know their own speed and distance from the goal, the motivation for action will be maintained and strengthened, and people will consciously overcome all difficulties and strive to achieve the goal. You can do a trial and ask three groups of people to walk along three villages 10 kilometers away. The first group didn't know the name of the village or how far the road was, so they just told them to follow the guide. After just two or three kilometers, some people complained, and when they were halfway there, some people were almost angry, they complained about why they had to go so far, and when could they get there? Some people even sit on the side of the road and are reluctant to go, and the further back they go, the lower their mood becomes. The second group knew the names and sections of the villages on the road, but there were no roadside milestones, so they had to empirically estimate the travel time and distance. Halfway through, most people wonder how far they've come, and the more experienced people say, 'It's about half the way.' So they all hugged each other again, and when they were three-quarters of the way through, they were depressed and tired, and it seemed like there was still a long way to go, when someone said, 'It's almost there!' Everyone picked themselves up again and quickened their pace. The people in the third group not only know the name and distance of the village, but also have a milestone for every kilometer on the road. During the trip, they used singing and laughter to relieve their fatigue, and their emotions were always high, so they quickly reached their destination.

The 'law of dichotomy' in the 'Ma's theory' system is the prototype of ancient dialectics! Ma once said to Zhu Yuanzhang: When you are an official, you must learn to use the 'rule of dichotomy' to look at people and things in order to be fair. The ancients said: The brave are near the mountains, and the wise are near the water. Brave people love hunting, and smart people love fishing. Everyone has different hobbies! Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. Advantages and disadvantages exist in comparison. Strengths and weaknesses are only clear when compared. There are no advantages and no disadvantages! Therefore, we must measure the problem from two aspects! To evaluate a person, we should also examine it from two aspects. Regardless of people or things, only by using the 'dichotomy' evaluation can we be relatively objective and fair! Advantages are the main, and disadvantages are supplemented by good people and good things. You can't hold people accountable. To be a monarch and an emperor, you must understand that there is no perfect thing in the world that exists in the universe. Don't do things sideways, pursue perfection. The best outcome is to adapt measures to local conditions, how fast and easy to save. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. There was a fisherman who caught a big pearl from the sea and couldn't put it down. However, the pearl has a small black dot on it. The fisherman thought that if the little black dots could be removed, the pearl would become a priceless treasure. So, it used a knife to scrape off the black spots. However, scrape off one layer, the black spots are still there, scrape another layer, the black spots are still there, and after scraping to the fullest, the black spots are gone, and the pearl no longer exists. People tend to cling to perfection and throw away something they could have gotten it. There are so many things in the world that it is impossible to have perfect things. The pursuit of perfection is only people's desire for beauty, but people will never find the perfect place to search everywhere. Therefore, the failure of the desire for perfection is also a frequent objective existence. Everything in the world is only a difference in quality, and there is no good or bad at all. It's this difference in quality, and it's only relative, not absolutely correct! There are no perfect people and things in the world! There is a building outside the building, there is a sky outside the sky, and everything is based on reality.

The "Theory of Knowledge Renewal" in the "Ma Theory" system is serious and long, and it is beneficial to ancient and modern! Ma once said to Zhu Yuanzhang: The first thing to study knowledge and learn skills is to enrich yourself. Don't do it blindly in order to cater to someone else's wishes or go with the flow. Otherwise, it is a pity to fail to achieve the goal of life, and it is a pity to waste the precious time of your life in vain. To be an emperor and a monarch, we must pay more attention to the renewal of our own knowledge! The ancients said that learning and excellence are good! Knowledge is infinite! People have to live and learn until they are old. As long as the brain has thinking, it must constantly accept new things and learn new knowledge! The king must have the demeanor of a king! When the emperor is more than ever, he must continue to learn, learn and learn! Work hard, work hard, try hard!

Know how to update your knowledge and reinvent yourself! Push the limits and get your energy full! Take control of life! The greatest achievement of the Ming Jun in his life is to constantly reinvent himself, so that he is always at the forefront of the winners among his peers, and become the leader of the ship of the times! During the Xia Dynasty, a betrayal of the princes Youhu led an invasion, and Xia Yu sent his son Bo Qi to resist. As a result, Bo Qi was defeated. His men were not convinced and demanded to continue the attack. But Bo Qi said: "No need, I have more soldiers than him, and my territory is larger than his, but I was defeated by him, this must be because my virtue is not as good as his, and my method of leading troops is not as good as his." From today onwards, I must work hard to correct it. Since then, Boqi has devoted all his energy to work and study. He got up very early every day to work, took care of the people, appointed talented people, and respected virtuous people. After a year, the Hu clan knew that not only did they not dare to invade again, but they surrendered automatically. Someone asked Youhu: In the face of the same Boqi, the time before and after a year is not long, as the winner a year ago, why did you surrender without a fight a year later? Youhu replied: A year ago, Bo Qi was a young learner and a little skilled, and he would lose the battle. A year later, Bo Qi was erudite and talented, and he took a big step; I was proud of my achievements, resting on my laurels, without researching new combat skills, and taking a big step back! This advance and retreat are two big steps, and the victory and defeat of both sides have been divided! If I fight hard beyond my strength, I can only end up with the notoriety of defeat! Therefore, I chose to surrender without a fight. I can't take my soldiers and fight against strong hands. If I really want to fight hard, the outcome has already been decided, and I can only take my soldiers to die in vain! I chose to surrender because I didn't want my soldiers to suffer with me!

In the "Ma Theory" system, "talent seeks its position, and the value is multiplied", which has far-reaching implications and merits through the ages. Ma once said to Zhu Yuanzhang: Everyone has their own aspirations, and this is an objective law that does not depend on the will of the monarch and the emperor. Due to the different aspirations of each person, each person's skills, literacy, and hobbies are different! Some people are mentally handicapped in industry A, but they are capable people in industry B! Therefore, to be a monarch and an emperor, you must be good at discovering different types of talents, and put these talents with professional skills into industries where they can give full play to their potential! Only find its position, and the value is doubled! Once upon a time, a young monk asked his master how valuable his life was. The master did not tell him explicitly. The master asked the young monk to bring back a stone from the back mountain, and the next day he asked him to send it to the market to sell! The master told the apprentice that he was only allowed to bargain, not to sell! The next day at the market, the young monk met a rural woman who offered 2 yuan to buy the sauerkraut in the jar at home! On the third day, the master asked the apprentice to send the stone to the handicraft market to make a price, and a merchant offered 200 yuan to buy it and carve a statue. On the fourth day, the master asked the apprentice to send the stone to the antique market for a price, and an antique collector bid 2,000 yuan to buy it back for collection! Every five days, the master tells the apprentice that your value is like this stone, and the value varies greatly depending on where you put it! Therefore, a person's value is the position he chooses according to his own ambitions. Everyone should cherish their place! In their positions, they should do their jobs, and they should complete what they should accomplish at any age. Otherwise, time will pass, and it will be difficult to have a chance to remedy it when it comes to the next age! The one who is good at archery is famous, not in his arrows, but in his own. The story of the cobblestone, the education leader must reasonably determine the order of handling the various incidents in the work according to the importance and urgency of the events. Make sure that pebbles, gravel, sand, and water can be put into the jar. The same should be done with the events that arise in the journey of life. This is what is commonly said to make the best use of things and make the best use of talents.

A gentleman gave a lesson to his disciples, and he put an empty jar of water on the table, and then took out some 'pebbles' from under the table that could be put into the jar just right from the mouth of the jar. When the gentleman filled the empty jar with 'pebbles', he asked his students, "Did you say the jar was full?" "Yes." All the students replied in unison.
