Chapter 40 The Way of Life The gentleman and the gentleman

In the afternoon of this day, Yin Zhiping entered the palace with a royal gold medal to meet Emperor Lizong.

Since that day he taught Li Zong the Great Dao Boxing Method, if Yin Zhiping has nothing particularly important to do every afternoon, he will routinely enter the palace when he is applying for a card, and accompany the emperor to practice the Great Dao Boxing method several times. In this way, firstly, we can grasp the situation of the emperor's practice at any time, so that we can correct and find a way to solve it at any time when the emperor makes a mistake or something happens, and secondly, it is to cultivate a relationship with the emperor.

Between people, whether it is love, friendship or other feelings, or even the relationship between superiors and subordinates, etc., they all need to be carefully managed and often contacted. If you don't even have contact with each other on weekdays, and you don't see each other in person, then what kind of friendship is there to talk about? That is, the original friendship is deep, and if you don't contact each other for a long time, the friendship will gradually fade.

If you want to be the first element of being a celebrity in front of the leader, that is, you must always be able to follow the leader, appear in front of the leader's eyes, and always let the leader notice your presence. If you don't even have a sense of presence in front of the leader, then what else is there to talk about being valued by the leader?

These things were all learned by Yin Zhiping in the workplace in his previous life. Although he didn't take it seriously in his previous life, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand. Office politics is something you can dislike, or even hate, but in it, you can't understand it, and you still have to learn some strategies and doorways that you should learn. Otherwise, it is likely that you will offend people for some reason, be swept out of the house in a daze, and lose your job.

After Yin Zhiping suffered several losses in his previous life, he studied hard and devoured a few professional works in this area.

There is a saying that "the workplace is like officialdom". Many things are connected on these two paths. The truth is basically the same. As in his current situation, the emperor is his leader. And he needs to use the leader's value and power to facilitate his actions, so he needs to manage the relationship between himself and the leader carefully and get along with each other.

However, the emperor is also different. Those who can often follow the emperor and accompany the emperor for a long time are eunuchs and concubines. And Yin Zhiping is neither. Therefore, he can't always be by the leader's side. But now, with the legitimate reason of accompanying the emperor to practice boxing, he has the opportunity to spend some hours with the emperor every day to contact and enhance his relationship. For this kind of opportunity, Yin Zhiping will not let it go easily. So this matter is also listed by him as one of the important things to be done every day.

Yin Zhiping has been in the palace many times in the past few days, but he is also familiar with the road. After entering the palace gate with the royal gold medal, he went straight to the imperial garden in the back garden. Emperor Lizong's daily boxing practice was basically in the imperial garden, which was also regarded as a fixed place for boxing, one hour a day. Half an hour in the morning, half an hour in the afternoon.

Yin Zhiping had to teach Shi Bingyun to practice martial arts in Guanzhong every morning, so he only chose to go to the palace in the afternoon. Establishing contact with the emperor and fostering friendship was important for his missionary work in the south. But you can't ignore Shi Bingyun for this. Leave it alone. Shi Bingyun is not only his new disciple, but also the granddaughter of Shi Songzhi, the prime minister of the dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, the power in the hands of the prime minister was very large. Especially in the late Southern Song Dynasty at this time, the prime ministers were all aware of the title of Privy Council. The military and political power are concentrated in one, and they are extremely powerful. Not only can he often fight against the monarchy. And in many cases, the monarchy often has to make concessions to the prime ministers, otherwise there will be no more powerful ministers in the late Southern Song Dynasty.

The emperor is the leader and the big boss, but the prime minister is in charge of things. There is a saying that "county officials are not as good as current management", in Yin Zhiping's previous life, to take that kind of large company as an analogy, the emperor is equivalent to the chairman of the board, and the chairman of the company has the highest nominal authority; but it is the general manager who is responsible for managing the company on weekdays, handling daily affairs and specific operations. The position of prime minister is equivalent to the general manager of the company.

You have to do things specifically, and you can't just look for the chairman and throw the general manager aside. The chairman of the board of directors often only gives orders, but the manager still has to be responsible for the specific handling of things.

Therefore, Yin Zhiping couldn't patronize the emperor, so he ignored Shi Songzhi, the prime minister. Now Shi Bingyun is a very important relationship between him and Shi Songzhi, so as long as he can manage the master-apprentice friendship with Shi Bingyun, he can teach Shi Bingyun with his heart. Naturally, you can maintain the relationship with Shi Songzhi, but you don't need to go to the door to curry favor. And he really went to the door all day long to make friends, but in the eyes of the emperor, it would not be beautiful.

The relationship between this can be said to be more straightforward. But when it comes to doing it, it's not so straightforward. There are many things that don't have to be said, as long as they understand each other's meaning. As the so-called is, it can only be understood, not spoken.

There are some words and things that will not look good if you say them directly. There are also some things that can only be done but not said. For example, he entered the palace every day to contact the emperor. I can't tell the emperor about this, I didn't enter the palace for anything else, just to contact you. And why do you want to contact feelings, because I have a good relationship with you, and I can take advantage of the situation to facilitate my mission.

If these words are said bluntly, it is obviously taking advantage of the emperor. How can the emperor have any friendship with you, it would be good not to convict you of the crime of bullying the king.

Therefore, getting along with people is really a university question. In Yin Zhiping's previous life, there were special disciplines and writings on this, and there were many related works.

Yin Zhiping didn't specialize in this in his previous life, and he couldn't talk about being an expert in this area, but he still knew what he should know, which is also a basic truth. In many cases, the real purpose requires something to disguise and package. He now invited the emperor to favor him, and became friendly with the prime minister, to put it bluntly, to use their power to facilitate his missionary work. But this purpose cannot be clearly declared. Moreover, you must be careful in your relationship with them and disguise your true intentions.

However, in these two aspects, Yin Zhiping does not need to be so cautious and cautious, and he does not need to be servile to please anyone. After all, what he asked for was not necessary, these were just two extremely powerful helps. Even without help, his missionary work would still have begun, but it would have been more difficult. It's hard, but it's not impossible.

Therefore, whether he is in front of Li Zong or in front of Shi Songzhi, he maintains his humility and arrogance psychologically. It is precisely because of this mentality that he doesn't care too much about gains and losses that he can always maintain his detached and free posture. On weekdays, although the etiquette is thoughtful and makes people feel like a spring breeze, there is a state of arrogance in his bones. But this point is even more convincing, and I feel that he has a Taoist backbone and is not ordinary. (To be continued......)
