Han Dynasty: Liu Xiang's Warring States Policy
Make an appreciative comment
At the beginning of the article "Touching the Dragon and Talking about the Queen Zhao", an extremely tense situation is described: Zhao Jun died recently, and Qin Jun asked Zhao Zhao to ask for help. Empress Zhao, who wanted to make her son a hostage and distressed, refused to let her son take risks, sternly rejected the strong protests of ministers, and claimed that "if there is a reply to make her a hostage, the old lady will spit on her!" .
It is obviously much more difficult to talk about touching dragons in such a tense situation. He knows that if he wants to convince Empress Zhao, he must make her understand the truth that "the beloved son of parents has far-reaching influence". However, if you reason from the front, it is not only useless, but will bring shame to yourself. Therefore, we must follow the queen mother's doting psychology and make suggestions. [2]
After winning the opportunity to meet the Empress Dowager, Mo Long first asked the Empress Dowager's daily life and diet with concern, and talked with her about the way of keeping in good health, which made the original "arrogant and wary" "Empress Dowager's color unclear". In this way, the rebellion and hostility of the queen mother were eliminated emotionally, and the first barrier was cleared for the success of remonstrance. Then, Touchong seduced her youngest son, Shu Qi, earnestly for help, in order to make the queen mother sing, thus drawing her mind. Sure enough, it soon aroused the love of the Queen Mother's beloved son. In her view, touching the dragon can be regarded as a "bosom friend" in the same boat. She not only "laughed", but also had an interesting argument with Mo Long about who loved her youngest son more, and began to show her feelings about Mo Long unabashedly. This laid the foundation for the next talk about how to love your son.
Touching the dragon seized the opportunity and led to the topic of the Queen Mother's love for Yan. Daughter has been married for a long time, which is a mother's secret pain, but out of the majesty of a monarch, it can't be mentioned. It was mentioned that this was an opportunity for the Queen Mother to release her depression, and of course she was willing to listen. Zuo is talking about the distant marriage of Empress Yan. Empress Dowager Cixi once "cried", "mourned" and "missed" for her, but every time she offered sacrifices, she made a wish: "Never make mistakes." This puts forward that "parents' love for their sons is far-reaching." This proposal. Then comparing the long-term love of Empress Dowager Yan with the short-sighted love of King Chang 'an, it is pointed out from far and near that the descendants of the emperor are not all bad, but the disaster caused by "respecting the position without working, paying well without working". Finally, he pointed out, "Today, I respect the position of An Jun in Chang 'an, sealing it with fertile land, and paying more attention to it is not as good as serving the country today. "Why did you always commit yourself to Zhao after the landslide?" Having said that, the queen mother has been convinced. Zuo's mission of remonstrance was successfully completed. They reached a consensus on the quality of Chang 'an monarch, and their hearts coincide on the same point.
From beginning to end, Touchdragon's remonstrance theory didn't mention "making Chang 'an the quality", but the Queen Mother couldn't help saying "the monarch made it" and didn't directly say that Chang 'an was the quality, which matched Touchdragon's wonderful rhetoric and set each other off. The two sides reached a tacit understanding without any embarrassment. The final conclusion of the article is, "So I got a car for Chang 'an, the quality is in harmony, and the soldiers are out", which is round from beginning to end and precise in structure. At the same time, it also enhances the comedy color of the story and shows the outstanding effect of touching the dragon.
Touching the dragon's heart, Empress Dowager Zhao never mentioned the topic of Chang 'e's quality from conflict to collision to acceptance and finally to recognition. But after listening to Touch Dragon, the Queen Mother asked Touch Dragon to take Chang 'e as a hostage. Seemingly unintentional, it is actually touching. This is the elegance and charm of a wise man.
The truth that "parents love their children, but their children are far-reaching". However, if you reason from the front, it is not only useless, but will bring shame to yourself. Therefore, we must follow the queen mother's doting psychology and make suggestions.
From keeping in good health, to saying how much you love your son, and then to touching the queen mother how much she loves Yan Hou who has been married for a long time. It is profoundly expounded that "parents love their sons and should make long-term plans for their sons." Deep love.
"Doing nothing for your position, getting something for nothing" is not unsustainable.
Although history has gone for a long time, its significance to reality is far-reaching and profound. Good text!
