159. The usefulness of Taoism, the terror of gatekeepers (seeking the moon)(1/2)
In the chat group, Li Shimin and others held their breath and focused.
How to apply Taoist doctrine has always been a big problem.
Because Taoism is too mysterious and ethereal.
Chen Tong took a deep breath, his fingers crackled on the mechanical keyboard. He seemed to see the mysterious back of the old man riding a bull from the long river of history.
Chen Tong:
"Many people's understanding of Taoism is to govern by doing nothing!"
"But everyone thinks this is very mysterious and illusory. There is no grasping place and I don't know how to use it. In fact, I don't have a deep understanding of Taoism."
"The Taoist rule by inaction means that people cannot resist the general trend, you must pay attention to following the trend."
"And this sentence is the essence of Taoist application!"
"Following the general trend is the key to the general direction, and choosing the direction is the first step in doing things and the most important step."
"For example, judging the trend of the times, when you stand at the trend of the times, the pigs will be blown into the sky."
"That's why we have chosen a major, which is more important than choosing a school."
"That's why, there are people who work hard all their lives and work hard for decades, but they are not as profitable as others who buy a house."
"This is what people often say, direction is more important than effort."
"In the long river of history, what the family is best at is seizing the opportunities of history and knowing the best of the times to create heroes."
"When should we work together with the emperor, when should we rise up and compete for the Central Plains, we need to judge the general trend!"
"Taoism will tell you to judge the general trend, then follow the trend, seize the pulse of the times, stand at the forefront of the times, and you will be twice the result with half the effort and be pushed to the forefront."
"Li Yuan was called emperor, and Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe."
"This is what the ancients said, to judge the situation!"
……………………
Tang Dynasty Palace.
Li Shimin couldn't help but cheer.
"It's better to judge the situation, and the better to follow the trend!"
"Yang Xuangan rebelled back then, and that was not a good form. Don't look at the fact that Emperor Yang of Sui went to Goguryeo when he was expeditioned to Goguryeo, the country was empty and the public was full of grievances."
"But the fortune of the Sui Dynasty was not over, and he could not bring about storm waves."
"In the end, I can only die if I hate you!"
Li Shimin really looked at Chen Tong with admiration. If it were before, it was just the downstream of time in the depths of Chen Tong, and he was surprised by information asymmetry.
But now, Chen Tong was shocked by his solid theory. He could explain several theories so easily understood, that he must have seen the essence of them.
The second of the ages:
"When Li Shimin advised Li Yuan to raise an army, he saw that the Sui Dynasty was already in its twilightest mountains."
"It was the most appropriate time to raise an army at that time."
"Not only can we quickly occupy Guanzhong, but most importantly, the Li family in Longxi has gained a very high reputation for the people and won over a large number of talents who opposed Yang Guang."
"Yes, Taoist doctrine is used to judge the general trend and formulate major policies and strategies!"
…………………………………
Wu Zetian admired him even more. Although he had no good impression of Li Shimin, he had to admit that Li Shimin's outstanding personal talent, especially persuading Li Yuan to raise an army, was really a stroke of magic!
Li Shimin's military talent and vision and strategy are really not to be underestimated.
Heart of the Sea of Illusion:
“Learned!”
"I only realized that I was using it when I got home!"
"It not only makes people look at things dialectically, but more importantly, Taoism taught us to follow the trend!"
"When should we endure, and when should we be radical."
Wu Zetian thought of her going along the way, and every time she accurately stepped on the pulse of the times, this time she fulfilled the supreme honor of her generation of queens.
…………
Zhu Di was confused at this moment.
Kill your ten clans (the heroic lord in the prosperous era):
“I feel like I’m being taught all day!”
"By the way, Zhu Di raised an army to rebel, that would definitely go with the flow."
"The reason why Zhu Yunwen failed was that from a Taoist perspective, he restored Jingtian and performed Zhou rituals was to go against the trend. This was to be directly crushed into slag by the wheel of the times!"
"Then his failure is a necessity of history!"
"I feel, I realize it."
Zhu Di felt an sudden enlightenment at this moment, such as when he killed Fang Xiaoru and he opened the sea ban, he had to follow the trend.
Only when the wind direction changes can you be able to do things easily, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward.
He couldn't help but breathe often: "It's amazing, my Yanhuang ancestor!"
……………………
Chen Tong took a sip of the drink suddenly, then typing on the keyboard frantically, and he wanted to make the final decision.
Chen Tong:
"You guys come and see the family now."
"The clans monopolize the top knowledge of Yan and Huang. They use Confucianism to cultivate themselves, improve their abilities, and gather reputation."
"Use Taoist doctrine to judge the general trend."
"Using the Mohist techniques can also make your weapons sharper and your city walls stronger."
"Use Legalists to manage the team."
"In a peaceful and prosperous era, relying on reputation to attract talents and accumulate strength."
"When the world is in chaos, the clans will take advantage of the situation, hold the advantages of military strategy in one hand and the way of lateralism in the other hand, join forces in the whole world, and compete for the world!"
"Since ancient times, how many times have farmers risen up?"
"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of Qin."
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Han Dynasty."
"The peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, etc.."
"The reason why these peasant uprisings ended in failure is because they did not lack knowledge."
"I don't know how to cultivate myself, manage my family, govern the country, and pacify the world!"
"The peasant uprisings did not have a unified program, strict discipline, and the grand goals after the uprising. They did not know how to govern the country."
"Like a dish of loose sand."
"So, in the end, the clan successfully picked the fruits of victory."
"So, I said that the clans are the true successors of all schools of thought!"
"Now, do you still think that Emperor Wu of Han has abandoned all schools of thought and respected Confucianism, which has caused all schools of thought to have withered?"
"Now, do you still think that the splendid civilization of Yanhuang has been destroyed in the long river of history?"
............
Emperor Wu of Han pounded the table hard and suddenly rose up. What Chen Tong said was so good.
Even if it is far away, it will be punished:
"Is this called the withering of a hundred families?"
"Look at these aristocratic families, they have integrated the various schools of thought, taken the essence and removed the dross."
"Their power has expanded rapidly, and each surname can change its dynasty. What is this relying on? Isn't it the splendid civilization left by our ancestors?"
"Who dares to say that all families have withered?"
"This is obviously one time, all schools of thought, and truly put what you have learned into practice!"
Emperor Wu of Han asked at the top of his lungs, and he felt extremely emotional. This was the talented person in the Yanhuang generation, and each of them was in charge of the trend for hundreds of years!"
…………
Cao Cao was deeply moved.
Friends of a wife:
"good!"
