He is so thick-skinned, but it is precisely this kind of thick-skinned person that can achieve great things in the end.
Having a thick face and a dark heart is a common label for many successful people.
Although some words may seem unpleasant, for those who can truly achieve great things, it is their most beautiful quality. Or to put it more bluntly, the profession of emperor is never left to a good person.
It can even be said that a person who can be regarded as an emperor and a good emperor with means can almost be said to be a scum among scum and a villain among villains. A good person cannot be a qualified emperor.
For example, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, etc., no one dares to say that they are good people, but these never prevent them from becoming a good emperor.
In the book "Guiguzi", it talks about the two most shameless people, Yi Yin and Jiang Ziya.
Yi Yin was the earliest prime minister of the Shang Dynasty. Legend has it that he was well versed in astronomy and geography, omnipotent, and was known as a living god. The reason why Shang Tang was able to destroy Xia Jie was indispensable to Yi Yin. However, Yi Yin once stood between the Xia Kingdom and the Shang Kingdom.
I was hesitant when choosing, and it is said that I ate the "turn back grass" three times before I finally felt like I belonged and made a contribution.
Jiang Ziya was a late bloomer and was misunderstood as incompetent throughout his life. In fact, Jiang Ziya was waiting for the opportunity. When the opportunity did not come, he would rather be laughed at. If he was not thick-skinned, he would not have persisted until he was over 80 years old.
As an emperor, this is even more true, and Liu Bang is a typical shameless person.
Liu Bang was a drunken and lustful local gangster since he was a child, and he became a small pavilion chief in Sishui. At a banquet hosted by the county magistrate's friend Lu Gong, it was stipulated that those with gifts of less than one thousand yuan could only sit in the hall.
.
Liu Bang didn't care about this. He directly handed over the gift list: "Ten thousand yuan for congratulations", which made everyone stunned. In fact, he didn't bring a penny, but he sat in the chief seat. During this period, he took the initiative to chat and laugh with the people around him. He was really shameless.
pole.
Later, Lu Gong took a fancy to him and wanted to marry his daughter to him, who was later known as Empress Lu. Liu Bang accepted the offer without hesitation. It was precisely because of Lu Gong's generous help that Liu Bang's fate changed.
In the eyes of the worldly people, sitting there eating and drinking without following the etiquette is really shameless. Still talking loudly with others and not knowing how to restrain yourself, ordinary people would have buried their heads low and were ashamed.
Another time, Xiang Yu arrested Liu's father and wanted to threaten him to surrender. He said: "If you don't surrender, you will throw your father into a big pot and stew it."
Unexpectedly, Liu Bang replied: "We are sworn brothers, and my father is also your father. If it really gets stewed, don't forget to give me a share of the soup."
Faced with such a "shameless" person, Xiang Yu was helpless.
You know, in ancient times, "filial piety" was the first priority. He was so shameless and shameless in saying such indifferent words without regard for his father's safety.
In fact, it was Liu Bang's "shameless" trait that shaped his overall life. He was good at expressing himself in front of strangers and dealt with others tactfully. When encountering big events, he was optimistic and open-minded, informal and knew how to advance and retreat. Many things
The fact that capable people and strangers are willing to follow him and help him achieve great things is closely related to him.
If he was a thin-skinned person who acted coyly, how could he stand out from the crowd, how could he win the admiration of Lu Gong, how could his opponents be helpless against him, and how could he eventually become a generation of emperors?
For example, Gou Jian, in order to achieve great things, not only must he be able to tolerate it, but also being thick-skinned is also the key. In the process of working hard, he suffered a lot of humiliation.
For example, "Wu Yue Chun Qiu: Gou Jian's Biography" records as follows: Fan Li said: "I secretly saw the King of Wu. He is really not a human being. He said a few words to make the meaning of soup, but he did not do it. I hope the king can ask for advice, because
Ask for his excrement, taste it, observe its color, pay homage to Yan, and tell him that he will not die. If you believe what you said on the date of Liao Qi's death, what will your Majesty have to worry about?"
As a king, Gou Jian wanted to taste the rice fields for others. Who could do such a thing if he wasn't so thick-skinned as to be beyond the limit of the world.
But Gou Jian did it, and it was precisely because he could do what others could not do that he was able to win the trust of King Wu Fucha in the end. He was able to endure hardships while sleeping, and three thousand Yue Jia could swallow Wu.
There is a folk saying: "If you are thick-skinned, you can eat enough; if you are thin-skinned, you can't eat enough." Sometimes, being "thick-skinned" is really the right way to live.
And Wang Yu's words about being shy in this situation today are not a sign of being thick-skinned. People with short-sightedness may sneer, but only those with long-term vision will recognize Wang Yu more.
Depending on your status, you should say what you say. But with Wang Yu's status, let alone say the words "no money" so calmly, there are even a few people who can say these two words without shame.
Only such people can shed shame at critical times in the future, and they will have more opportunities to achieve success in the future.
"Brother Wang... you are really good at joking..." Shangguan Yunfei said with a smile.
Wang Yu will have no money. This is probably the biggest joke Shangguan Yunfei has ever heard in these days.
"Brother Shangguan, don't worry about him. Brother Wang is just stingy!" Yun Luo said, taking a sip of tea.
Seeing that Yun Luo was obviously serious, but he was joking, it was actually quite interesting.
Shangguan Yunfei couldn't figure it out: "If that's the case, why is Brother Wang doing this? Brother Wang is a celebrity, isn't he afraid of being laughed at?"
In Shangguan Yunfei's view, face is so important. Since Wang Yu has no shortage of money, how can he not get rid of any money?
Others looked at him too.
Wang Yu seemed to be surprised. He tilted his head and asked Luo Li, pretending not to know: "Why, isn't it against the rules not to reward people here and to be despised?"
Luo Li smiled and said, "Of course not! The young master is sitting here. The money for the place and the wine alone is already a lot of money. As for whether to send flowers to the sisters, it naturally depends on the young master's mood."
Wang Yu chuckled and said: "Since there is no requirement to give flowers to courtesans, then I have the money and keep it for Miss Luo Li. Wouldn't it be more beautiful for Miss Luo Li to pour wine with me with bare hands? Anyway, Miss Luo Li
You're not worse than them, so why bother looking for something far away?"
Wang Yu said, gently hooking Luo Li's chin in a teasing manner.
Luo Li subconsciously avoided it, but then regretted it a little. He half-squinted his eyes and said with a sweet smile: "I'm afraid that Luo Li's appearance is shallow and he will disappoint the Lord's love."
The flirtatious look made everyone around him shake their heads and smile.
Someone looked at Luo Li's soft and gentle style next to Wang Yu and felt evil. He just hugged the beauty in red next to him and quietly had a hand on her...
