2. Repeatedly persuade, repeatedly emphasize
The same meaning, repeatedly persuaded, repeatedly exaggerated, repeatedly emphasized, do not achieve the goal, vow not to give up. It's a powerful weapon against stubborn opponents.
Zhao Pu of the Song Dynasty was the prime minister of the emperors of Taizu and Taizong, and his loyalty and achievements to the imperial court were very obvious. He was a diligent senior administrator, but he was slightly inferior in learning than his peers, and after he ascended to the post of prime minister, his deficiencies were noticed by Taizu. One day, after discussing politics with Taizu, Taizu gently persuaded him to read more books, and this Zhao Pu never let go of the book, and after retiring from the dynasty, he locked himself in the door to read.
This story shows that he was a conscientious man who knew what was lacking and was good at remedy. He devoted himself to politics all his life, and took it as his duty to assist the Song Dynasty in governing the world, which is a rare name.
In essence, he is a man of tenacity.
Taizu's euphemistic criticism made him develop the habit of not releasing the scroll until death; On the other hand, when he was assisting the government, he decided that he was contrary to the emperor's opinion, and he dared to insist on it repeatedly.
Once Zhao Pu recommended an official to Taizu, but Taizu did not promise. Zhao Pu was not discouraged, and the next day Linchao proposed this personnel appointment to Taizu for Taizu to adjudicate, but Taizu still did not agree.
Zhao Pu still didn't give up, and brought it up again on the third day.
mentioned it three times in a row for three consecutive days, and his colleagues were also surprised, why was Zhao Pu so thick-skinned. Taizu was angry this time, and tore the song fold on the spot and threw it on the ground.
But Zhao Pu had his own way, he silently picked up the torn pieces of paper one by one, and then carefully glued them when he got home. On the fourth day, he went to the court, without saying a word, he raised the glued fold above his head and stood in front of Taizu without moving.
Taizu was moved by it, sighed, and had no choice but to play.
Zhao Pu has a similar story.
A certain official should have been promoted according to his political achievements, and Zhao Pu, who was the prime minister, proposed it, but because Taizu usually didn't like this person, he ignored Zhao Pu's performance.
But Zhao Pu was out of public intentions, regardless of the emperor's likes and dislikes, and the previous performance of resilience was repeated. Taizu reluctantly agreed.
Taizu asked again, "If I don't agree, what will happen to you this time?" ”
Zhao Pu's face did not change: "If you have a mistake, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, this is an ancient precept that cannot be changed, and the emperor should not ignore this principle based on his own likes and dislikes." ”
In other words, even though you are the Son of Heaven, you cannot deal with the issue of punishment and reward with personal feelings. These words obviously collided with Song Taizu, and Taizu brushed his sleeves away in anger.
Zhao Pu followed behind, stood outside the door where the emperor of the harem was sleeping, bowed his head, did not move for a long time, and made up his mind that he would not leave if the emperor did not come out. It is said that Taizu was very moved by this.
There is a saying in foreign countries that "people nail people". The same content, twice, three times repeatedly explain to the other party, so as to achieve the effect of persuasion. To use this method of persuasion, you must have a tenacious character, be tenacious inside and out, never lose heart for a failure, and look for opportunities to repeatedly stare at the door.
It should be noted that the use of this method should be measured, and if it hurts the feelings of the other party, it will have the opposite effect. Therefore, it should be handled with caution and not excessively.
