Really powerful people have great brains, let your children see more

Some people say that a \”Romance of the Three Kingdoms\” is a heroic epic. Those strategists who have clever calculations in their chests can win a victory thousands of miles away in a moment; they have heroic soldiers in their hearts, and in the midst of talking and laughing, their guns and oars will be turned into ashes. Wang Zuozhi’s talents Xun Yu, Wolong Kongming, Fengchu Pang Tong, ghost genius Guo Jia, poisonous scholar Jia Xu, young Qi Jiang Wei… are countless. Among this group of heroes, there is only one person who is unique in talent, strategy, and knowledge of people. He is also suspected in every possible way and has been trying to survive in the cracks. However, he ended the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms and became the biggest winner. He is Sima Yi, nicknamed \”Tomb Tiger\”, which means the tiger hiding in the stone cairn. A hidden word made Sima Yi\’s heroic life from a Confucian scholar to a world leader. \”Guiguzi\” says, \”The transformation of heaven and earth lies in high and deep; the way of the saint lies in concealment and concealment.\” Being able to \”hide\” is the real great wisdom in life. Seek advancement and hide cleverness: stay true to simplicity and be humble, hide first and then wait. When Sima Yi was born, the Han Dynasty was on its deathbed. Although he was \”rarely knowledgeable and knowledgeable\”, he was born in troubled times, and it was not easy to \”learn well and become an official\”. At that time, Cao Cao, who was Sikong, was eager for talents. Hearing that Sima Yi was very knowledgeable, he sent an envoy to recruit talents. But what Cao Cao didn\’t expect was that Sima Yi, who always wanted to govern the country and bring peace to the world, chose to refuse. The reason was that he had wind paralysis and was paralyzed in bed. 23-year-old boy suffers from rheumatic arthritis? Cao Cao, who had met countless people, naturally didn\’t believe it, so he secretly sent spies to sneak into Sima Yi\’s house to observe carefully. Unfortunately, Sima Yi was well prepared and could not move even if he pinched a needle with his hand. He successfully deceived Cao Cao\’s eyes and ears with his superb acting skills. Why did Sima Yi, who was always so ambitious, stay hidden? He is waiting and watching. At that time, all the heroes were rising together, Cao Cao was just emerging, and it was still unclear who could compete in the world. Sima Yi did not want to \”entrust someone to someone else\”, so he retreated to seclusion and continued to wait and see the current situation. Sima Yi stayed in hiding for 7 years. Sima Yi, who was hiding at home, stayed at home and kept himself with books every day, always paying attention to changes in the situation outside. It was not until Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and became the strongest overlord in the world that Sima Yi readily accepted the call. When he first entered the prime minister\’s office, Sima Yi was not eager to express himself. He still kept his skills and clumsiness and never took the initiative to make suggestions. Instead, he silently observed and figured out the direction of the situation in the court. He was waiting, looking for Cao Cao\’s successor, and seeking a shortcut to his goal. Year after year, Sima Yi lay dormant for seven years before finally making up his mind to secretly assist Cao Pi and support him in his rise to power. But whether he was giving advice to Cao Cao or giving advice to Cao Pi, Sima Yi never showed off or competed for the first place, he just tried his best to do his duty as a minister. Especially after Cao Cao discovered that he had the \”wolf-looking look\” of being immobile and turning his head 180 degrees backwards, Sima Yi became even more cautious in his words and actions, even doing small things like feeding horses. It was this ability of concealing things first and waiting later that made Sima Yi\’s career path smoother and smoother. Step by step, he was promoted from a literary assistant to a concubine of the prince, and became one of the important advisers of the Cao Wei Group. Just like what \”Cai Gen Tan\” said: \”The talent of a gentleman is hidden in jade and pearls, and cannot be easily seen by others.\” Talent is like a flower. It is a good thing to be beautiful and outstanding, but good flowers need fertile soil to cultivate. If it blooms at will, it will be eroded by more wind and rain, and evenIt may even turn into mud and be crushed into dust. Gain power and hide your edge: keep a low profile and remain calm. As the saying goes: \”The eagle stands as if it is sleeping, and the tiger moves as if it is sick. This is where it grabs and bites people.\” The more powerful a person is, the better he is at hiding his edge and showing off his power in a low-key and restrained way. When Sima Yi was 42 years old, Cao Cao passed away and Cao Pi came to the throne. He ushered in the spring of his career, changing from a behind-the-scenes counselor to a powerful official in front of the stage, and became deputy prime minister. Although the scenery is endless, Sima Yi has seen too many ups and downs of others, and Sima Yi knows that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying the tiger, and the best policy for a minister is to hide one\’s strength and bide one\’s time. In 225 AD, Cao Pi visited the south and promoted Sima Yi to the rank of general of the Fu army, commanding five thousand troops. He stayed in Xuchang and presided over state affairs. This was the first case in the history of Cao Wei that someone other than the Cao clan was in charge of military positions. Sima Yi was not overjoyed, but insisted on accepting the title: \”I dare not accept these official positions.\” He was worried that he would be promoted too quickly and become the target of public criticism, and he was even more worried that this was a test for him by his master. It was not until Cao Pi insisted again and again that Sima Yi accepted the order with peace of mind. However, he did not take any credit or be arrogant, did not highlight his shortcomings, did not show off his strengths, and quietly did his job. The one who excels is the master, and the one who hides his edge and sharpness is the master. By the time of Cao Rui, Sima Yi had achieved the ultimate in \”hiding the front\”. At that time, the general Cao Zhen, who was also the minister of Tuogu, always regarded Sima Yi as a competitor, competed with him everywhere, and tried to suppress him in everything. Sima Yi never competed with Cao Zhen. On the contrary, he took the initiative to find ways and ideas to help Cao Zhen. When Zhuge Liang went out to pray on the mountain, Cao Zhen, who was eager to perform meritorious deeds, was calculated to lose his troops and generals. The situation was critical and he sent someone back to the court at night to ask for help. Sima Yi ignored the past suspicions and took the initiative to offer advice, saying that the Shu army was short of supplies. As long as they held out for a month without going to war, the Shu army would retreat. When the time came, they would take advantage of the opportunity to pursue and kill them, and they would definitely win. Worried about Cao Zhen\’s rash advance, Sima Yi asked Cao Rui to issue an edict, warning Cao Zhen that when chasing the Shu soldiers, they must observe their actual situation and not go deep into the enemy\’s strongholds. What\’s even more admirable is that when the court officials went to announce the edict, Sima Yi repeatedly warned: \”If Cao Zhen asks who came up with the idea in the edict, you must not say it was me, lest Cao Zhen care about it and miss the opportunity.\” Sima Yi was humble and reserved. , won the approval of the courtiers and the trust of Cao Rui, and he quietly started the path of advancement for the elders of the three dynasties. Zeng Guofan once said: \”If you hide your edge for the king, you can reach far; if you hide your edge for your ministers, you can reach the greatest heights.\” People will be jealous of you if you are sharp and unruly, and you will easily make enemies. The more truly talented people shine, the more they know how to be flashy but not dazzling, and how to hide their edge quietly. Aspiration for Tibetan Treasures: Wait for the right moment and act before the enemy hits the target. I really like a sentence in \”Mozi\”. Toads and frogs kept chirping day and night, until their mouths were dry and their tongues were exhausted, and no one paid any attention to them. Look at the rooster again, wait patiently until dawn, and the world will be shocked when it crows. No matter as a person or as a person, taking a step back is not cowardice, but to accumulate strength to take off ten thousand steps further. Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi was a master of hiding weapons and was the best at waiting for the right moment and taking advantage of the situation. He competed with Zhuge Liang several times, and with just one move, the wise but evil Zhuge Liang was so angry that he had no choice but to let the wind and waves blow, and I would stand firm and not attack. Because it is always difficult to attack and defend, Sima Yi took advantage of the advantage of having more troops to hide his weapons. When Zhuge Liang had stopped for a long time and ran out of food and returned without success, he then attacked him all the way to crack his field myth.. In the end, in the Battle of Wuzhangyuan, Sima Yi killed Zhuge Liang. From then on, Cao Wei had no opponent in the world. He was getting closer and closer to his childhood dream of \”ruling the country and bringing peace to the world\”. However, the road to dreams is often full of thorns and obstacles. In 239 AD, Emperor Wei Ming Cao Rui passed away. Sima Yi and Cao Shuang were ordered to assist the 8-year-old young master Cao Fang. Cao Shuang was a man with a strong desire for power. He took advantage of his position as the chief minister of the Secretariat to promote cronies and tried every means to weaken the power in Sima Yi\’s hands. He even formally worshiped Sima Yi as Taifu, but in fact he was seizing military power. It\’s not that Sima Yi didn\’t notice it, but unfortunately the power of personnel appointment and dismissal was in Cao Shuang\’s hands. An open fight would only make him break his own skills and endanger the safety of his family. But how could Sima Yi, who had endured the bloody storms of his four dynasties, be trapped without mercy? He submitted his resignation on the grounds that his wife died of illness and excessive grief caused old illnesses. The plank road is built openly and the warehouse is secretly built. CCTV recommends over 500 excellent documentaries with high scores. After watching the plot, the child is addicted to self-discipline. Sima Yi pretended to be seriously ill and retired, but secretly spent a lot of money to adopt 3,000 dead soldiers and scattered them around the capital to seek opportunities for counterattack. Cao Shuang was overjoyed when he heard that Sima Yi was terminally ill and that he didn\’t have much time left. He took his three younger brothers and surrounded the young emperor and went out of the city to pay homage to the late emperor at Gaoping Mausoleum. When the emperor\’s car slowly drove out of the capital and disappeared into the flying dust, Sima Yi and his son immediately donned their military uniforms and launched the \”Gaoping Ling Coup\” to take over the Cao Wei regime. \”The Book of Changes\” once said: \”A gentleman hides his weapons in his body and waits for the time to move.\” The road in life cannot be smooth sailing. When there is no path, you must learn to wait and wait for things to develop in a favorable direction, so that you can achieve the effect of slowing down and smoothing things over. Moreover, the more adverse the situation is, the more we must learn to wait and act when the time comes, before we can strike before we can. As the saying goes, hide the weapon and wait for the time, and take advantage of the situation to become a great weapon. Luo Guanzhong once commented on Sima Yi: \”He opened his mouth to worship the holy scriptures, and used martial arts as if he could reach the gods. He was a hero of the Three Kingdoms and an economic minister of the four dynasties. He stationed troops to drive away tigers and leopards, and his adopted son got a unicorn. Zhuge often talked about envy, which can bring spring to the world.\” Sima Yi\’s success, Because of his careful thinking and hidden edge, even if there is thunder in his chest, his face is still as flat as a lake. It can be said that he used \”hiding\” to win the glory of life. It is a kind of wisdom to seek for advancement and hide cleverness without revealing your cleverness; to hide your edge when you are in power and not to show off your talents is a kind of pattern; to aspire to be the best and hide your weapons and wait for the time to move is a kind of state. In life, only when you hide something can you reveal something. Hiding is the way to enter the world, the way to advance, and even more to break the situation.
