Chapter 83 Details of the Top Secret Formula of Wisdom
There is one such thing among them.
In the first few years of Emperor Jianwen's escape, life was very difficult. Because of the strict interrogation, life was often difficult. At the worst time, he could not even eat enough. Once, Yang Yingneng and Ye Xixian, the personal ministers, went to get some
Necessary medicinal materials, because they had just escaped to a foreign land thousands of miles away, so the three of them, the monarch and his ministers, were not accustomed to the local environment and often fell ill, so the medicinal materials became necessities of life. But maybe because the terrain was unfamiliar, the two of them got lost, and actually two
He didn't come back for days.
Emperor Jianwen waited for two full days and was hungry for two full days. Finally, he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he risked being exposed and came out of the inn where he was staying, preparing to find a way to get some food.
Because he didn’t have a penny anymore, and all the things that could be sold had been sold out, he really didn’t know how to get some food. Originally, he was dressed as a monk and asked for alms, which was very natural, so even if
If you don't have money, it's not a problem to get some food.
But Emperor Jianwen had been an emperor after all, and his behavior was very different from ordinary people. If he was asked to ask for food, even if he starved to death, he couldn't do it. He had made up his mind countless times, but he still couldn't ask for food.
Finally, having no other choice, Emperor Jianwen found a compromise - he wrote and painted by himself, and then sold them for money in exchange for food. So, in a secluded corner of the town, he took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he had brought -
-Except for his clothes, this was his only property-and he began to write and draw.
This small town was originally located in a remote area, with few people studying and relatively poor. Therefore, there were many curious people watching, but no one wanted to buy. Emperor Jianwen was hungry, and the more he wrote, the more he felt his legs grow.
He was so soft that he had no strength at all, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on. Later, he couldn't stand any longer. He saw that there happened to be a broken stone table and stone bench next to him, so he moved the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the stone table, and he was fine.
After being able to sit on the stone bench, he felt a little more comfortable, and then continued to write and paint with his head lowered. Emperor Jianwen may not have noticed that among the crowd of onlookers, there was another old monk with white beard and hair, who was observing intently.
His every move.
Emperor Jianwen may not realize that because the environment in which he grew up is so special, his every move, sitting, standing and walking are very different from ordinary people. Although he has been in exile for so long, the habits he has developed since childhood are not easy to change.
.Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, they will only think that this monk's behavior is a bit strange, but if you meet a knowledgeable expert, you can easily judge that this monk's experience and birth should not be ordinary people.
Because in ancient times, not to mention emperors, even ordinary scholar-bureaucrats attached great importance to their daily behavior. For example, Tao Kan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty "sat with his knees bent all day long in his spare time from work" - even in private situations, his sitting posture was not casual.
Casually.
Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty usually "lives in a dignified house, sitting upright and in danger". Emperor Kangxi, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, was famous for his martial arts and martial arts. When he went to court on weekdays, he would sit majestically on the dragon chair and look down at everyone. Little did he know that this basic skill of the emperor's behavior was actually
It was cultivated under long-term strict requirements. Emperor Kangxi once recalled that since he was a child, "everything such as eating, drinking, moving, walking, and speaking must be done in a proper manner. Even though he lives alone, he is taught not to dare to deviate from the rules." After he ascended the throne, he discussed politics with ministers.
, and lectures on classics and official studies on reading history, and even in private occasions such as talking and laughing at family gatherings, everyone always "sits upright".
And the monk who observed Emperor Jianwen happened to be an extraordinary figure, so he had already seen many clues in Emperor Jianwen's behavior. This monk was also going to use an extremely subtle method to determine whether Emperor Jianwen was the emperor.
The identity of Emperor Wen, and this method was carried out through a series of extremely subtle details.
In fact, the level of wisdom and ability are often best reflected in the details. Some people with extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary abilities often use details that others extremely ignore to use them with ingenuity, and from time to time they can create amazing things.
Miracles come that make people marvel.
For example, during World War II, a group of well-trained spies from Germany came to the Soviet headquarters and pretended to be sent by their superiors to inspect the work. They said they wanted to see the Soviet battle plan. Perhaps these spies were too disguised.
Well, the Soviet headquarters personnel didn't notice it at first.
This made this group of German spies very proud. One of them even seemed to be a little carried away with his pride. He sat relaxedly at the table, crossed his legs, and tapped the time on the table with his fingers. But he
Forgot, this is the headquarters of the Soviet Army.
All the personnel here are elite figures of the Soviet army. It can be said that this is a place where "human elites" gather. The knowledge, wisdom and observation of these people are by no means comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.
So even if the spy slightly tapped his fingers on the table, this extremely subtle move did not escape the eyes of a staff officer. Because the staff officer had already identified that the person in front of him was beating the drum beat of the German Army's "Victory March."
It was this subtle movement that revealed all the secrets. The staff officer secretly called his superiors for verification. The result was predictable. Many of these German spies were captured by the Soviet army.
This is the power of details. And this old monk with white beard and hair also had to use details to identify whether his judgment was correct. He quietly walked up to Emperor Jianwen who was concentrating on writing and painting, and chanted the Buddha's name loudly:
Amitabha".
Emperor Jianwen was startled by the loud voice and almost fell to the ground. His long-term escape career made him feel that everything around him was "the sound of wind and cranes, and the grass and trees were all in war". If he hadn't been hungry this time and couldn't bear it, he
He would never show his face in public. The sudden sound of reciting Buddha's name frightened him. He quickly looked up and found that it was an old monk with white beard and hair, a kind face and kind eyes, and he felt a little calmer.
After calming down his mind, he returned the courtesy and asked: "Master, what do you have to teach me?" The old monk looked at Emperor Jianwen's sallow face, smiled slightly and said: "We are both Buddhists, and we met today, which is considered a fate. I would like to invite Brother Dharma."
Draw a picture for me." After speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it on the stone table.
For some reason, Emperor Jianwen suddenly had mixed feelings when he saw this ingot of silver, and suddenly a sentence came to his mind: "How can a man be a hero for a penny?" In the past, as an emperor with the highest status in the Nine-Five Years, he had mountains of gold and silver, which were rare and rare.
There is a sea of delicacies, but I didn't expect that today, for a mouthful of rice and a piece of silver, I would take risks and make troubles, and behave politely.
