There are many things in the world that are confusing. People only see appearances, even the tip of the iceberg, but the real situation is difficult to discover. The reason is that although it is so complicated that it cannot be described in short sentences, there is one very important reason, that is, the protagonists in the story are good at disguise and patience.
In ancient times, many people were determined and good at tolerance. For example, Han Xin , who made great contributions to Liu Bang , could withstand the humiliation under the crotch; and Sima Qian , the author of "Records of the Grand Historian", also encountered humiliation that ordinary people could not bear.
Many people have heard of the story of King Zhuang of Chu . After three years ascending the throne, he not only ignored the government affairs, but also never issued orders. However, he was addicted to drinking, music, singing, music and dancing every day, and even issued an order not to disturb him for pleasure, otherwise he would be killed without mercy. Everyone knows the story of
. He is like a big bird, but he has not singed for three years, but has made a splash. In the end, he has become one of the overlords of Spring and Autumn . Readers must think that this King Zhuang of Chu is able to tolerate it, but compared with another person, his endurance is nothing.
The reason why a person needs to be tolerated is of course that there are some ulterior motives. If you expose it too early or don’t know how to disguise, you will soon fall into a crisis. Tang Xuanzong Li Chen is very good at forbearance. He pretended to be demented for many years, but in the end he successfully became the emperor.
Li Chen is the thirteenth son of Emperor Xianzong of Tang . He was named King of Light at birth. It wasn't his turn to be the emperor, but by chance, because Emperor Wuzong of Tang died young and his eldest son was only a few years old, Li Chen had the opportunity.
At that time, the eunuchs were in power and controlled the government. King Light seemed very stupid before ascending the throne, but when he was a few years old, the people around him discovered that his mind was seriously flawed. As he grew older, the situation did not change, but instead he became more taciturn. He usually likes to hang out around, and those ambitious people are not wary of him at all.
After Emperor Wuzong of Tang’s death, the eunuchs wanted to find an obedient emperor, so Li Chen was selected by them and successfully ascended the throne to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. That year he was 36 years old. On the day he ascended the throne, everyone was surprised. Everyone present was amazed at his extraordinary demeanor.
He was well organized in handling government affairs, understood rationally, and was very familiar with various systems and etiquette. Only then did the eunuchs realize that they had misunderstood. Readers will also sigh that he is even better at disguising than the sweeping monks in Shaolin Temple.
Everyone has something hidden deep in their hearts, and maybe they will never be willing to tell others in their entire lives. However, most people are not as good as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. He has been pretending to be very naive for more than 30 years, as if he doesn't care about the affairs of the court at all. It was not until the moment he ascended the throne that the truth was revealed. It is conceivable how hard he worked behind his back, and he also put in more sweat than others.
Everyone will think that Li Chen is too scheming. In fact, there is no way to do this, otherwise he will be killed. Ordinary people will not have such bizarre experiences, but people should still learn from their patience. In daily work and study, you must be down-to-earth and diligent, and you must not show off yourself all day long.
When you are unknown, you will not notice the threat of the beginning of winter. Once your sharp edge is revealed, you will be siege from all directions. So before you have enough ability to break through, you must learn to hide deeply!
