In martial arts dramas, some sects, when the heads of the sects die, they fall and their money scatters, and they can no longer gain a foothold in the world; in the real workplace, some companies, if one or two core characters lose their core characters, their competitiveness will decline rapidly, and their business conditions will decline day by day; in historical stories, some families, key characters will quickly die as soon as they die, and they will even be uprooted without any resistance. From these phenomena, we can see the crucial role and influence of a core character to a team and a group.
Why does the life and death of a leader have such a great impact on a team? Why can those dynasties sometimes get rid of this influence? The previous emperor passed away, and the latter emperor succeeded to the throne, which not only stabilized the situation, but even did better.
This is actually a problem of "the deviation between personalized shaping and system improvement". This is prone to teams that rely too much on "personalized shaping" and do not pay attention to system construction and inheritance. For example, the Huo Guang family of , the leader of , quickly lost the ability to compete with the imperial power, became a lamb to be slaughtered, and was finally destroyed.
hope that through such a historical case, can sort out and summarize the core password for inheritance and development , so as to help you build your family and career into a smooth road for sustainable development of .
The process of the defeat of Huo Guang's family
The famous tossing little prince Liu He After being the emperor for 27 days, he spent all his good luck in his life and "retired" from the position of emperor in a disgraceful way. He was deposed by Huo Guang.
However, the country cannot be without a king for a day. After Comrade Liu He retreated, Huo Guang’s top priority was to find a trustworthy comrade and push it up.
At this time, Bingji recommended "Enjoy the classical arts, have beautiful talents, and be at peace" The emperor's grandson Liu Bingyi . After careful investigation and weighing, Huo Guang believed that this folk prince, who was well-known and eighteen years old, was indeed the best candidate for the emperor, so he chose him as the emperor, which was the famous Emperor Xuan of Han .
Let’s first briefly introduce Liu Bingyi, a wise wise ruler with a ill-fated fate. This child, as a whole, was thanks to his hard life experience at the bottom, and finally made him a wise monarch who loves the people.
Liu Bingji was the grandson of the prince who died unjustly Liu According to , he had no reason to survive in the dark and unjust case at that time. Fortunately, this child is lucky and has a great life, because he is still in his infancy and has not been deliberately paid attention to him. He just threw him into prison and let him die.
The warden at that time was Bing Ji, the noble man who later recommended him to be the emperor. Remember, "Meeting noble people when you go out" is always one of the greatest blessings in life . Sometimes we can achieve something, but it is not necessarily that our ability is much stronger than others, but that there are noble people to help us.
Bingji is a kind-hearted and full of justice. When he sees such a young child staying in prison and fending on his own, he will sooner or later starve to death. Even if there are thousands of right and wrong in the world, how innocent is a hungry child? So he found a loyal female prisoner and arranged a clean and spacious cell to let the female prisoner be responsible for nurturing Liu Bingyi.
Later, Emperor Wu of Han The savages around him told the seriously ill Emperor Wu of Han that they found that the spirit of the emperor appeared above the Chang'an Prison, and it was this person who divided the royal fortune. When Emperor Wu of Han heard this, he sent an envoy to execute all the people in the prison.
But the upright Bing Ji argued with reason. He refused to obey the imperial edict on the grounds that "a grand great-grandson cannot die inexplicably" .
Bing Ji's behavior of fighting Emperor Wu of Han was basically a result of death and no life before.Fortunately, it was the second year of Houyuan (87 BC), which was the last year of Emperor Wu of Han’s life. Emperor Wu of Han thought about his life of killing and his unjustly death, and had no intention of committing another murder. He sighed and said: "Angelic is" , and then he was amnesty for the whole world. What implies is that this is probably the fate of this child, so why not let him out of prison.
Liu Bing, who was out of prison, was arranged by Bing Ji to adopt and take care of his grandmother's house.
Not long after, Emperor Wu of Han was about to reach the end of his life. Before his death, he ordered the adoption of Liu Bingyi, who had been wandering among the people, to be reported to the Zongzheng as a member of the royal family. It is equivalent to Emperor Wu of Han did his last effort to help Liu Bingyi get back his royal identity, the most precious political asset.
However, after all, although Liu Bingyi returned to the royal family, because he was alone, his life was still difficult and his political future was still slim.
So he was still in the market for a long time, which led to the child being down-to-earth in dealing with people and things since he was a child. In the end, after becoming emperor, he still did not get rid of the influence of this behavioral habit and was quite considerate of the sufferings of the people.
After Liu Bing was elected as emperor, the historical scene returned to the familiar scene, which was very similar to the situation when Liu He ascended the throne. They were both cases where the emperor was not good at speaking. So, what did Liu Bingyi, who had no political experience, do it?
He basically did it according to the arrangement of his ancestor Emperor Wen of Han. After ascending the throne of , the first thing to do was to greatly thank and respect the powerful minister Huo Guang and stabilize Huo Guang and others with practical actions. I knew how much I was and understood that I was just a decoration, and you were the core figures of the great man.
Huo Guang saw it and was very satisfied. This child is much more sensible than that Liu He. However, in order to prevent Liu Bingyi from pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he took the initiative to ask for instructions and return the power to Liu Bingyi.
Liu Bingyi quickly said, how can this be done! You can't kill pigs and eat meat. You are all working hard to govern the country. How could I take over your power as soon as I came back? Don't worry, I, Liu Bing, are no longer such a person! Not only did he refuse Huo Guang's request to return the government, he also added rewards to Huo Guang and others.
72 BC, discussing the great achievements of the ancestral temple. General Huo Guang was granted a total of 17,000 households; General Chess and Cavalry Zhang Anshi or less, ten people were granted a title of marquis, five people were granted a title of marquis, and eight people were granted a title of marquis.
What are the benefits of Liu Bingyi doing this? It is to satisfy Huo Guang and others. Although you are the king and Huo Guang is the minister, everything you have today is given to you by Huo Guang. , just as they helped you to the top, you don’t regard others as human beings. Not only is it unreasonable in character, but it is also unreasonable in reason. 0. If someone flirts with you in a hurry, you can only stare at me.
When you see this, do you think that Liu Bingyi and Huo Guang can be human, so they will continue to be harmonious and beautiful? Obviously unlikely! Because human nature actually does not have much room to maneuver in the face of core interests.
In June 72 BC, Liu Bingji wanted to ask for a posthumous title and cemetery for his unjustly death grandfather and father, but the reply from the relevant department was: You inherited the throne of Emperor Zhao of Han , so in terms of etiquette, you are the son of Emperor Zhao of Han. As for the status of your biological grandfather and your biological father, if you have to arrange it, you can only give your biological grandfather a posthumous title of "Li" and your biological father a posthumous title of "Dao". What do these two posthumous titles mean? "Li" means not to repent, and "mother" means to admit defeat in fear of sin. It looks like a very insulting word.
Think about it, who dares to publicly insult Liu Bingyi, the newly appointed leader so blatantly? Are you a staff member of the relevant department? Obviously, Huo Guang is the leader behind it.
Why did Huo Guang do this? In fact, the main thing is to tell Liu Bingyi with a tough attitude that I gave you your job and position in . Don’t want to make a fuss about your political identity. , what should I do to turn your grandfather and father into "martyrs" first, and then use it to consolidate your status. Such tricks are useless.
Is Liu Bing angry about this? You must be angry, who would like to be slapped in the face so naked? However, Liu Bingye is really able to tolerate it, just accept it! Although Huo Guang arranged a bad posthumous posthumous posthumous for his grandfather and father, it was better than not! We have to rely on General Huo to make a meal, and we must say that the rice is really delicious.
Some friends will ask, if Liu Bingye refuses to give up on this matter, then what will be the final consequences of this matter? I won’t talk about anything else, just refer to the great ritual dispute during the reign of Emperor Jiajing.
always treats Huo Guang as an old secretary! This is the most correct way Liu Bingyi took since he came to power. Because when the arm cannot twist the thigh, although it seems cowardly, it is the best way to protect yourself.
How much has Liu Bingyi tolerated? Later, Huo Guang's ignorant daughter-in-law, Huo Xian, in order to help his daughter Huo Chengjun to the position of queen, instructed the imperial physician Chunyu Yan to poison Liu Bingji's first wife Empress Xu. Under normal circumstances, Liu Bingye at least had to thoroughly investigate the imperial physician Chunyu Yan. However, in order to shelter her family, Huo Guang later asked Liu Bingyi to stop the investigation of Chunyu Yan. In order to stabilize the situation, Liu Bingyi actually agreed to this request. Two months later, Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun was appointed as the queen.
. If you don’t accept it, you can’t do it if you can’t do it, because you can’t do it at all and you can’t help but get beaten. You can only endure it slowly until he makes a mistake, until he is exhausted, until he relaxes his vigilance, or even until he dies... This is actually the "dragging technique" in the art of war.
In the spring of 68 BC, Liu Bingyi, who had been in the position of emperor for 6 years, finally saw hope for a counterattack in his life, because Huo Guang finally fell ill.
The clever Liu Bingyi once again showed the demonstration of textbooks. He was obviously very happy inside, but he was extremely sad on the surface. He often visited Huo Guang and cried every time. is just like Huo Guang's performance before Emperor Wu of Han was dying, and Huo Guang would not force him to take him away in order to eliminate future troubles before his death.
If Liu Bingye did not do this, Huo Guang was loyal to the Han Dynasty all his life. Will he take Liu Bingye away before he died? There is a high probability that it will! If you don’t believe it, you can see Huo Guang’s temptation before his death.
Huo Guang proposed to Liu Bingyi that he hoped to divide three thousand households from his fiefdom to his elder brother, Huo Qubing's grandson, Fengche Duwei, and requested that he be appointed as a marquis to worship Huo Qubing's incense. What does this mean? just wants to strengthen the power moat of their Huo family before they die!
Liu Bingyi immediately said that this is what he should do. Huoshan is not only the descendant of your Huo family, but also the grandson of the great Han army god. He has made contributions to the country, and this requirement is not an exaggeration.
also made a "buy one get one free" free package, adding Huo Guang's eldest son Huo Yu as the right general.
Seeing that Liu Bing had responded to all requests, Huo Guang finally felt that he could pass away with confidence. According to Liu Bingyi's attitude towards our Huo family, he should not kill the Huo family after his death. Besides, he has arranged such a strong foundation for the descendants of the Huo family. If he wants to move, he must carefully evaluate his strength.
After Huo Guang left, Liu Bingji buried him in the specifications of an emperor and was posthumously named "Hao Xuancheng". This also declares that Comrade Huo Guang passed the level perfectly in Game of Thrones throughout his life, and "right before his death and reputation after his death" are both the ceiling among his ministers in history.
Huo Guang's life has come to an end perfectly, but the disaster of the Huo family is about to begin soon.
After Huo Guang's death, Liu Bingji did not directly attack the Huo family. Instead, he issued an edict to exempt Huo Guang's descendants from taxes and labor service, allowing them to inherit Huo Guang's title and fief, and it will be valid forever. What does mean? In fact, it means paralyzing the enemy.
A month later, Liu Bingyi, who was confident, began to play with the firewood step by step. His first step was to appoint Zhang Anshi as Grand Sima , General of the Cheqi, and in charge of the affairs of the Shangshu; Zi Yanshou was Guangluxun.
On the surface, Zhang Anshi, the former younger brother Huo Guang, arranged to take over Huo Guang's power and position during his lifetime, which also made the Huo family feel that it was not that the water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it didn't matter. It even makes the Huo family feel that the highest position in the Huo family is now the right general Huo Yu . He cannot take over Huo Guang's power and position in one step in terms of qualifications. Liu Bingyi arranged for Zhang Anshi, a "person" to take over, which may be paving the way for the Huo family's final advancement.
But in fact, Liu Bingyi defeated one by one after the differentiation. After the Huo family handed over power to Zhang Anshi without much resistance, Liu Bingyi immediately took back the regime from Zhang Anshi, and Zhang Anshi directly gave up resistance.
Some people may ask, isn’t Zhang Anshi’s actions meant he betrayed the old leader Huo Guang and the Huo family? Why did he do this? Zhang Anshi is also a smart person. Such a person will only recognize the strongest one if he recognizes his master. After so many years of observation, people have long discovered that Liu Bingyi is the number one master in the world except Huo Guang. Liu Bingyi has regained the power that does not belong to him, Zhang Anshi through himself. Why did he make a meaningless struggle? Wouldn’t it be nice to be a favorable favor for the new master?
In addition, the relationship between Zhang Anshi and Liu Bingyi is actually not that simple. Zhang Anshi has indeed been a loyal fan of Huo Guang, but his younger brother Zhang He has been a loyal fan of the princelings since the Liu Ju period. Liu Bingji has been behind him. Liu Bingyi's first choice to marry his wife was Zhang He's daughter. This marriage was rejected because Zhang Anshi thought it was too risky. Later, all the fees for Liu Bingyi's marriage to the folk queen Xu Pingjun were paid by the Zhang family. Zhang Anshi's youngest child, Zhang Pengzu, and Liu Bingyi, are also young.
Seeing this, do you know why Liu Bingyi was able to easily get back the regime through Zhang Anshi? Various relationships in the interest field are often multi-positions, multiple channels and multiple choices.
regained the regime, and Liu Bingye's next step must be to regain military power. , especially the military power in the capital, is related to the ultimate security issue of imperial power, and must be held in his own hands.
However, regaining military power in the capital and surrounding areas is a more sensitive thing, and it is easy to get rid of the fire. So Liu Bingyi used an extremely artistic "Beijing official dispatch" and sent some of Huo Guang's sons and nephews and sons-in-law to be civil officials similar to the prefect. You Huo family can't have too many opinions on this arrangement,
! What opinions do you have if you send you to the top leaders? You can't publicly resist and say that you just want to hold the military power in the important areas of the capital, right? Do you want to rebel?
As a large number of Huo family's children were released, the Huo family's power in the capital was gradually diluted.
But the Huo family is a lean camel after all, which is bigger than a horse. Although its overall control over the capital has declined, its overall strength in the country has not been affected. Moreover, Weiyang , the guards of the two palaces of Changle and the guards of the twelve gates of Chang'an are all from the Huo family. Therefore, the Huo family is still very safe for the time being.
As a powerful scheming expert who can compare with Huo Guang, Liu Bing will never let the Huo family continue to be stable for too long.
Not long after, he deliberately promoted Huo Yu, the new generation leader of the Huo family, to the Grand Sima , but did not issue seals or ribbons, and revoked the garrison troops and officials led by his right general, leaving only the official name and salary. What is this? This is to exchange false names for your real power.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Guang's son-in-law Fan Mingyou was also removed from his post as General Du Liao, and another son-in-law Zhao Pingben's garrison commander as the cavalry commander was also withdrawn.What is this called? This is called cutting its wings! Also called boiling frogs in warm water!
Finally, all key positions such as Yulin Army , Weiyang, Changle Weiwei and other key positions were gradually undergoing major blood exchanges by Liu Bingyi.
When Liu Bing has mastered the military power around the capital for the camp step by step, it is actually destined that the Huo family will never make any more waves. If the Huo family had the awareness of top experts such as Huo Guang, Liu Bingji, and Zhang Anshi, they would definitely be a human being with their tails and use the old man's identity as a hero to exchange for the peace and quiet life of the entire family. Because for Liu Bingyi, even if he is in power alone, he dare not kill the descendants of his meritorious officials at will. The political impact of such matters is too bad.
However, the Huo family after Huo Guang were all a group of people who were ignorant of the world. always felt that the murderous knife would never be put on their necks.
Let’s briefly introduce the quality of the Huo family! Huo Guang's little wife Huo Xian poisoned the queen first, and after having an affair with the housekeeper, it's so proud! The Huo family's children often don't even bother to do superficial work such as clocking in and going to work, and they just want to have fun every day; the Huo family's slaves also rely on their power and think they are superior. For example, the Huo family's slaves once had a dispute with the Censor Wei Xiang 's slaves because of a dispute. The Huo family's slaves finally forced the Censor Wei Xiang to kowtow to him and confess their guilt before they could give up.
The Huo family gradually realized that Liu Bingye may be dissatisfied with his Huo family after Liu Bingye completely took all the initiative. However, it is almost impossible for such a group of people to actively show weakness or protect themselves. Most of them will hurry to go to the other extreme - to turn the table over and quit.
Finally, the Huo family was killed by Liu Bingyi for conspiring to rebel. The Huo Group, which had been entrenched in the Western Han Dynasty for decades, was destroyed.
Liu Bing has eliminated the logic analysis of Huo Group
Liu Bing is a rare master of power struggle. Although everyone thinks that the process of eradicating the Huo Group seems to be natural, in fact, the logic behind this is quite thorough, and it is closely linked and connected, and it is impossible to make a mistake in any step.
Liu Bingyi was actually a puppet emperor who had no real power and no foundation when he first came to power. When the basic conditions of people are not good, the first thing they consider is not to rush to make breakthroughs, but to find ways to gain a foothold. The old saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will not worry about burning firewood. Only by gaining a firm foothold can you have the opportunity to seek breakthroughs. The principle of
is actually a simple universal truth. Many people understand it, but why can't many people do it? Because most people’s desires are actually too full, a person with too full of desires will always become impetuous and impatient. So, it is actually quite valuable to be patient first, just like Liu Bingyi at the beginning.
However, we must also realize one problem, that is, many times, blindly tolerating can only protect itself and will suffer less of the danger of being retaliated, and will not solve the fundamental problem.
So, if Liu Bingyi only knows how to tolerate, it will be difficult to turn the tables in one fell swoop. When playing Game of Thrones, in fact, when we reach the level above the court, we are basically high-level players, and we pay attention to both offense and defense. If you don’t take action when it’s time, others will think that you can’t make a fuck. This will be the virtue of your life, and your opponent will only become more and more unscrupulous and unscrupulous. But if you don’t take action, others will think that your restless heart is too uncontrollable and will do your best to eliminate future troubles forever.
So, everyone must learn Liu Bingyi's steady and tentative thinking. I ate the rice you gave me by Huo Guang. I am grateful to you and respect you. Most of the time I act like a good baby. But I am definitely not a person who has no ideas, no opinions, and is at the control and mercy of others. I also want to give my grandfather and his father a reputation and status.Whether is my business, whether it is your business!
After Huo Guang strongly blocked his real needs, the smart Liu Bingyi quickly admitted his defeat. Mr. Huo is so awesome. We won’t go against him. Anyway, through this incident, he can understand that I am also an independent and demanding person. In the future, I will definitely respect you as always, but I can't control whether you respect me or not, but don't think I don't know what I know. You don’t think about yourself, but you have to think about your family! You have to give me some face on some occasions!
There was another very important episode before this. Huo Guang once took the initiative to return the power to Liu Bingyi, who had just ascended the throne. No matter whether Huo Guang was sincere or not, why did Liu Bingyi decisively refuse? This principle is the same as the later hibernation of the orphans in Baidi City. Whether Liu Bei sincerely allows Zhuge Liang to be independent at the appropriate time, Zhuge Liang must protect Liu Chan . There are some things in that must be launched when you do not have the ability and qualifications to have them. As long as you reach out to get them, your entire personality will collapse, and it will not be too much for others to do anything to you.
Liu Bingyi and Huo Guang are actually masters of the same level. The two of them are just because of their different strengths and foundations, which makes them one of them very proactive and the other passive. This is actually a tacit understanding established by the two people after they recognize each other, and no one will easily break the window paper.
There is no way. The showdown between masters and masters is actually particularly concerned with the efficiency and safety of their behavior, and they will never make random moves. Liu Bingye knew that he would not be able to overturn a master like Huo Guang, and Huo Guang also knew that Liu Bingye would not easily let him catch a handle that could be taken.
So, in the end, the two masters could only wait slowly tacitly until one of them left the battle without worry.
Huo Guang also knew that he could not stand Liu Bingyi, but Liu Bingyi did not have anything to say in all aspects. It is impossible for him to take Liu Bingyi away by risking the ruthlessness of the world before he died. In that case, Huo Guang will be criticized forever, and their Huo family will be regarded as a thief and become the target of public criticism. He can only seek some real power positions for his family, hoping to use his strength to increase the safety of his family's destiny.
However, Huo Guang still underestimated human nature and looked down on his unscrupulous family members. After his death, Zhang Anshi, the original number one fan of , gave up resistance very consciously, allowing Liu Bingyi to easily gather the regime; while his deep-rooted Huo family children held real power, but their operating standards and reaction capabilities were extremely poor. They were almost unable to fight back and were defeated by Liu Bingyi, and seized the military power of the important areas of the capital from them.
I don’t know if Huo Guang had told his descendants and family to be kind to others before he died, because the Huo family tree attracts a lot of wind and always makes people think about it. Besides, with such a big trade, without Huo Guang taking charge of the overall situation, they would not be able to defend themselves. Being more honest will only make others' revenge more intense.
However, judging from the various behaviors of the Huo family, either Huo Guang had never given any advice or Huo Guang had given instructions, and they didn't listen to it at all. Liu Bingyi has gathered the regime and then controlled the military power in the capital and surrounding areas. In other words, Liu Bingyi has controlled the effective military power (because if something happens, your Huo family will be able to transfer troops from other places, and it is too late). You can find a reason to kill you in minutes. Do you dare to rush to plot against the rebellion? Didn’t you take the initiative to hand the knife to someone else just knowing that someone wants to kill you?
is so stupid, the Huo family's final defeat is actually wronged at all!
Of course, it is mainly because Liu Bingyi, the opponent, is too high. summarizes the main logic of his eradication of the Huo family's forces: The first step is to use the image of a good baby to take the lead; the second step is to repay the favor and hold the strong Huo Guang gratefully; the third step is to accumulate and develop his own strength bit by bit; the fourth step is to wait until the opponent has no leader, stand up in time to turn defense into offense; the fifth step is to break it into pieces, break it down one by one, and try to avoid direct struggle with the opponent; the sixth step is to seize the opportunity and set the world in one fell swoop.
Why can’t Huo Guang protect his family?
Many people will pick things up indistinctly when evaluating Huo Guang, saying that no matter how powerful Huo Guang is, what if it is? Isn’t it still awesome to your family?
In fact, these people are a bit unreasonable because they don’t understand the internal logic of Game of Thrones at all. Huo Guang cannot protect his family, but it is actually determined by the nature of Game of Thrones. The ultimate goal of power game is to eat alone.
It is not that Liu Bingye insists on eradicating the Huo Group, nor is it that Huo Guang does not want to protect the Huo family.
When Huo Guang was alive, because his status and strength were both transcendent, he and the Huo family could naturally seek and take it. But , as long as he dies, Game of Thrones is equivalent to a reshuffle, which is not transferred by Huo Guang's personal will.
Some people will say that it is precisely because after Huo Guang's death, Liu Bingye will inevitably gather power from the Huo family, so Huo Guang should completely punish Liu Bingye before he dies.
However, what I want to tell you is that all games in , including Game of Thrones, have game rules. The binding power of this game rules is not something that can be broken through at will. Even if you Huo Guang is in power alone, you cannot destroy the game rules at will. Otherwise, what awaits you Huo Guang and the Huo family will be an abyss and infamy that will never be restored.
So, when Liu Bing no longer left any handle for Huo Guang, Huo Guang could only do his best to help his family gain more chips, and prayed to his family to follow the trend and have a good performance. The problem of
is actually similar to that many parents who help their children study and job searches today. In fact, after helping a certain level, they are powerless. The truth is the same.
To sum up, Huo Guang did not protect his family, not because Huo Guang was not capable, nor because Liu Bingji had to kill the donkey, but because some games were destined to have only one winner.
So, back to the beginning, what is the main dependence of a family or team to develop and inherit it smoothly?
In fact, there are only a few things. is the system, one is talent, and the other is strength.
Take the Huo Guang family as an example. If they want to pass on it for a long time, either Huo Guang can establish a power system independent of imperial power, or Huo Guang can cultivate a master who is evenly matched and even better than Liu Bingyi to take over in his lifetime, or their Huo family just holds down those powers tightly and does not let go. If anyone offends their power, he will fight to the death without hesitation with his absolute strength and use his absolute strength to shock Liu Bingyi and dare not take action.
Of course, there is another way for to spit out all the food, surrender actively, strive for leniency, or take the opportunity to completely withdraw from the game and have some simple meals with peace of mind. However, in human nature, people often dare not expect to spit out the flesh that reaches their mouths.
At this time, it was still the Western Han Dynasty. When it was the Eastern Jin period hundreds of years later, everyone might have a more thorough understanding of why Huo Guang could not protect his family through the honor, disgrace, rise and fall behind the politics of the Eastern Jin clan. Because of the Wang Xie family, the common fatal point is the talent gap of successors.
You Huo Guang fought invincible in the world during your lifetime. You are the supreme martial arts world. Anyone who sees you will bend down and call General Huo, but this is just a reflection of your personal ability and achievements.Unless your descendants and successors are as invincible as you, no one dares to challenge you during your lifetime, and someone will definitely jump out to dig your grave after death. This is the cruelty and truth of Game of Thrones.
