Throughout history, generals or ministers with extremely powerful power will do more or less self-deprecating things to protect themselves. The superiors always have suspicions about the people below, and self-deprecating is the best way to eliminate these suspicions.●⌒

Just like Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, if he hadn't pretended to be crazy, there would never be any more Ming Chengzu.

After the young Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he snatched five vassal kings in one breath. Although the King of Yan had not been cut, his surroundings were already covered with many spies of the new emperor, and Peiping was surrounded by heavy troops, and the situation was in danger. Zhu Di did not sit still and waited for death. He trained a group of dead soldiers in private and built weapons in the King of Yan's mansion, but these were carried out very secretly. He built a large basement in the back garden of the palace, surrounded by tall walls, and buried a jar under the walls to prevent the sound from spreading outside. At the same time, he raised many ducks and geese, using the sound of ducks and geese to conceal the sound of weapons and practice.

Without the airtight wall, Emperor Jianwen became increasingly suspicious of Zhu Di when he heard some of the King of Yan's actions. Because he had not prepared enough, Zhu Di decided to go to Nanjing in person to ease the atmosphere and gain time. Of course, he knew the risks of this trip, and he might have gone without going back, but he believed that he would come back, which would make the benevolent and weak Emperor Jianwen believe that he had no intention of rebellion and could also find out the truth of the court. In February of the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Di came to Nanjing.

Regarding the King of Yan's self-invested, Zhuo Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, persuaded Emperor Jianwen to move the King of Yan to Nanchang. This was indeed a good idea. However, Emperor Jianwen was indecisive and did not adopt Zhuo Jing's suggestion. He released the King of Yan to Beiping a few days later. Zhu Di's self-invested self-invested reflects the maturity and courage of a talented and magnanimous politician. He received miraculous results. Five months later, Zhu Di, who was ready, resolutely promoted the matter with 800 cavalry.

In June of the first year of Jianwen, Ni Liang, a guard of Yanshan, reported to the court that Zhu Di's two subordinates recruited dead soldiers for the King of Yan. After interrogation, the two confessed to Zhu Di's secret affairs. Emperor Jianwen had no more evidence. Therefore, he did not cut the King of Yan, but issued an edict to punish him. Zhu Di was afraid that this was a sign of the reduction of the vassals, so he had a plan to confuse Emperor Jianwen.

People in Peking heard that the King of Yan was suddenly crazy, and they could often see him running around in public, shouting, and sometimes lying on the street to sleep. Emperor Jianwen heard the rumors and ordered the governor of Peking, Zhang Xiehe, commander of the capital, Xie Gui, to find out the true feelings. The two came to the palace of Prince Yan and saw Zhu Di sitting next to the stove, trembling all over. It seemed very cold. Seeing Zhang and Xie came, Zhu Di came with a crutch and walked staggeringly. Zhang and Xie were deceived by Zhu Di's superb acting skills and reported to the court. Emperor Jianwen believed it.

In fact, it was not the first time that Zhu Di pretended to be sick. As early as after the King of Zhou was deposed, he always claimed that he could not come out of illness, so he could hide his strength and paralyze his opponents.

However, he did have a heartache at that time. His three sons were in Nanjing. They might have been taken hostage. Once he had a strange plan, his three sons' lives would be in trouble. So he used the excuse of being seriously ill and asked Emperor Jianwen to let his three sons return to the house to take care of him.

This is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone: if the court releases three sons, it will be exempted from being polite; if it does not agree to release, it can explore the intentions of the court and make plans early.

Emperor Jianwen was unsure of his mind, and later, under Xu Zengshou's instigation, he actually sent Zhu Di's three sons to Yan State. Zhu Di was overjoyed and said, "God's help". His joy was hard to express.

After a few months, Zhu Di rebelled without any scruples, Emperor Jianwen really regretted it!

Zhu Di pretended to be crazy and won the whole world. From this we can see that self-deprecation is really a good way to save his life.

Now it is a modern society. It seems that the society is very transparent, and it seems that there is no cruelty in the old officialdom. However, in essence, the current society is essentially no different from the previous society. There is no emperor now. However, the vigilance of the superiors towards the subordinates is still as great as before, especially now Sheng Zheng has the most powerful warrior troops in his hands. If Sheng Zheng is respected from top to bottom from the warrior troops, the superiors will feel uneasy and will try their best to plot against Sheng Zheng. At that time, the development of the warrior troops will slow down or even retreat.

Sheng Zheng is also a person and has ambitions. Therefore, once someone wants to deal with him, Sheng Zheng will not surrender. At that time, it would be 100% for Sheng Zheng to fight with those superiors. Once Sheng Zheng starts fighting with those superiors, the development of the warrior army will stagnate and even regress.

Because, in order to deal with Sheng Zheng, those superiors will definitely stop the resources of the warrior army. The warrior army is developing so fast and so good now, and they rely on the support of the unlimited resources of the Commander Hall. Therefore, once they leave the support of the Commander Hall resources, the warrior army will stagnate or even retreat, which is 100%.

Sheng Zheng only has China in his heart. As long as China can become stronger, Sheng Zheng can give everything. Therefore, Sheng Zheng will not destroy the current good situation of the warrior army. Therefore, in order to alleviate the suspicion of those superiors about themselves, Sheng Zheng directly chose to defame himself. After entering the warrior army, the people in his family have more resources to cultivate than the same warrior soldiers.

Sheng Zheng's choice was very correct. After learning that Sheng Zheng gave his family more cultivation resources, some elders in the elder group of the Commander Hall finally gave a sigh of relief. Sheng Zheng's current behavior can be regarded as using power for personal gain. In this way, Sheng Zheng has a handle in their hands. In the future, if Sheng Zheng does anything extraordinary, they can use these handles to deal with Sheng Zheng.

With these handles in hand, the people in the Elders of the Commander Hall no longer have to worry that Sheng Zheng will be dictatorial, and no longer have to worry that Sheng Zheng will establish the warrior army into the private army of the Sheng family.

It can be said that Sheng Zheng's self-deprecation resulted in a win-win situation. The elders of the Commander Hall had the handle of Sheng Zheng using his power for personal gain. Therefore, they were no longer worried about Sheng Zheng's control of the warrior army. At the same time, Sheng Zheng also had the full support of the elders of the Commander Hall, which made the warrior army develop more and more rapidly and China's military strength became stronger and stronger.

There is also a reason for Sheng Zheng's self-deprecating matter. Zhao Chaogang knew everything clearly. In the martial arts secret realm, there was no secret that could be hidden from Zhao Chaogang, so Zhao Chaogang was really satisfied with Sheng Zheng, especially Sheng Zheng did not have much selfish intentions. He tried his best to consider the strength of the warrior army, which made Zhao Chaogang even more satisfied.

If he gives up the commander position of the warrior unit to any other ambitious person, he will secretly cultivate his strength in the warrior unit, because in the future, the warrior unit will definitely be the most powerful unit. Based on the warrior unit, this person's ambition can be realized.

However, Sheng Zheng did not do this. It’s not that Sheng Zheng had no ambitions. How could Sheng Zheng have no ambitions in his heart? However, Sheng Zheng’s ambitions were suppressed by his love for the motherland. In Sheng Zheng’s heart, the strength of the motherland is the first priority, and Sheng Zheng can ignore other things.

Zhao Chaogang was very clear about Sheng Zheng's thoughts, so Zhao Chaogang agreed with Sheng Zheng very much. It was also because of this that when Sheng Zheng went to Zhao Chaogang to visit, Zhao Chaogang would give Sheng Zheng some flawed spiritual tea.

Of course, Zhao Chaogang has another thought in the spiritual material given to Sheng Zheng's flawed products, that is, Zhao Chaogang wants to enhance Sheng Zheng's martial arts cultivation. As the head of the warrior army, how can he be weak in cultivation!

As time goes by, the warriors in the warriors will become stronger and stronger, and the strength of the warriors will become stronger and stronger. Correspondingly, their pride will become stronger and stronger. The strong strength of the warriors gives the warriors a strong self-confidence. At this time, if the person who commands these warriors is much weaker than these warriors, there will definitely be problems in the future.

Just like in the current special forces, the strength of every special forces commander is not low among the special forces he commands. Even if it is not the first position, at least in the front position. This is because the special forces only obey the command of those who are stronger than him, and only believe that those with strong strength can lead them to victory.

Yet, when special forces are in extremely dangerous places when fighting, the tasks they perform are also very dangerous. If the people who command them are not strong, the success rate of this task will be very low.

Why is it said that once the people who command these special forces are not strong enough, the success rate of special forces will be very low when performing missions? The answer here is very simple, which is attributed to one sentence: know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!

If your strength is very weak, even if you know the strength of your team members clearly, you will still make mistakes when it is really critical, because your understanding of the strength of your subordinates is only on numbers, on paper, and you have never personally understood it. In this way, errors will occur when you think.

Just like a manual and automatic car, you used to drive an automatic car, and you have also known about manual cars before, but once you change the car you drive from automatic to manual, there will still be problems when you just start driving a manual car.

Therefore, the soldiers of the special forces only obey the command of those who are stronger than them or who are similar to their strength? Only those who truly understand the strength of the special forces will the special forces be truly convinced, because, with such people, there is no need to worry about the dangers that their strength is misrated and thus occur.

This is in the special forces. Even in an extremely ordinary army, many people obey those who are stronger than them. Once this person's strength is much weaker than them, the soldiers in this army will not be too obedient, because in the army it is the battlefield for men. Once men go to the battlefield, they believe in men who are stronger than them. Power is the real symbol of men!

The warriors are more powerful than ordinary soldiers, and accordingly, the obedience in the hearts of warriors is also lower, because the powerful strength of warriors gives these warriors strong self-confidence. It is not that simple to convince these powerful warriors.

The number of warrior soldiers in the warrior army has now reached about 60,000, and there are hundreds of warriors with high cultivation qualifications. The strength of these people is getting stronger and stronger as time goes by. Correspondingly, the pride in these people's hearts is getting stronger and stronger, and the execution of orders has begun to weaken.

Perhaps at the beginning, these soldiers will obey the orders of the army due to the long-term cultivation of military spirit. However, over time, these powerful warriors will implement the orders issued by the army less and less, because the pride of warriors makes these people resist people who have been weaker than their own strength for a long time.

With such a strong strength, the person who came to give orders in front of him could kill dozens of them, but the person in front of him was directly over the military rank. Under such different treatment, anyone would have a different mind. Over time, if there were many such differences, the powerful warriors in the warrior army would definitely come out to cause trouble.

Among these warriors who are causing trouble, some powerful warriors may indeed come out to cause trouble because they do not want to bear the cage of the army. These warriors want full freedom, but it is undeniable that some warriors want to take the opportunity to gain a higher status and realize their ambitions in their hearts. Therefore, once such turmoil occurs in the warrior army, it will not calm down in a short period of time, and the warrior army will not calm down the turmoil every day. The warrior army will suffer one more loss, and the development of the warrior army will stagnate for one day.

Zhao Chaogang would never want to see such a scene. He did not want the warrior army to fall into civil strife. This made those Westerners laugh at it. Therefore, Zhao Chaogang directly chose to improve Sheng Zheng's strength to a very high level of cultivation, and always ensured that Sheng Zheng's cultivation was the same as that of the powerful warriors in the warrior army. Even more powerful. In this way, relying on Sheng Zheng's majesty in the army and the powerful martial arts shock, there would be no civil strife in the warrior army.

Of course, Zhao Chaogang's support for Sheng Zheng is not infinite. Zhao Chaogang's support is limited to the acquired realm. Zhao Chaogang will no longer help Sheng Zheng in the innate realm. If Sheng Zheng wants to advance to the innate stage, he has to rely on his own efforts. However, with Sheng Zheng's current age and cultivation qualifications, it is impossible for Sheng Zheng to advance to the innate stage, unless Zhao Chaogang takes action.

When we arrived here, some people might say that there are so many warriors in the warrior army, and it would be 100% for warriors in the innate stage in the future. Even if there will be no warriors in the innate stage in this group of warriors now, there will definitely be warriors in the next batch or the next batch. If there are warriors in the innate stage at that time, how can Sheng Zheng still control it?

Your concern is actually redundant, because once a warrior's cultivation reaches the innate stage, he will no longer be affiliated with the warrior unit, and he will directly belong to the elders of the Commander Hall.

The strength of the innate warrior is too strong. The strength of a innate warrior is equivalent to a moving nuclear bomb. Such a powerful weapon will not allow him to hold it in the hands of others. Even Sheng Zheng, who has gained their high trust, is no exception. At that time, this matter is no longer a matter of whether the innate elders believe in Sheng Zheng or not, but the rules must be done like this.

With a powerful weapon like a nuclear bomb, the elders of the Commander Hall will never let him take control of the hands of those outside the elders!

What's more, even if the elders of the Commander Hall delegated the right to command the innate warriors to Sheng Zheng, Sheng Zheng would not have mastered it because the cultivation resources required by the innate warriors were no longer provided by Sheng Zheng and the others. Besides, at that time, Sheng Zheng did not have any killer moves to fight against the innate warriors, so sooner or later these innate warriors would leave the warrior troops.

As for why he didn't leave the warrior army from the beginning, it was because the innate warriors are powerful. After all, he is also a human being. As long as he is a human being, he will have feelings and a heart to repay kindness. The warriors in the warrior army can advance to the innate stage, and the warrior army plays a great role in his support. Therefore, before repaying these kindnesses, the innate warriors will still obey Sheng Zheng and others' commands. Once these kindnesses are paid off, the nine-level nine-level innate stage warriors will choose to leave the warrior army.

The warrior army is not a place suitable for innate warriors to practice. It is only suitable for warriors in acquired realms. Besides, the yearning for complete freedom by innate warriors is much stronger than anyone else. Therefore, in the end, innate warriors will leave the warrior army. The only difference is the length of time!

Zhao Chaogang was very clear about these drawbacks of the warrior army. Therefore, when the warrior army just started to be formed and Sheng Zheng became the head of the warrior army, Zhao Chaogang was already considering how to improve Sheng Zheng's strength and cultivate his achievements.

Of course. First of all, Zhao Chaogang needs to know what kind of person Sheng Zheng is. Is he worthy of training himself? The result proves that Sheng Zheng is very qualified. Therefore, Zhao Chaogang gave Sheng Zheng some flawed spiritual tea.

With the help of these flawed spiritual tea, it is very simple for Sheng Zheng to advance to the acquired Great Perfection Realm. The only disadvantage is that it takes longer. Regardless of this, these times are shorter than those geniuses in the warriors' army who practice to advance to the acquired Great Perfection Realm. It can be said that Zhao Chaogang has tried his best to develop the warriors' army.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Old Tie. You have to be careful to put these spiritual teas. This is the guarantee for your advancement to the acquired Great Perfection Realm. Lao Tie, be careful!" Sheng Zheng repeatedly told Tie Jing what effect the spiritual tea has. Sheng Zheng was very cleared. When Zhao Chaogang gave Sheng Zheng these spiritual teas, Zhao Chaogang had already explained that it had been cleared, otherwise Zhao Chaogang would be really afraid of what problems would happen when Sheng Zheng drank the spiritual tea.

Although Zhao Chaogang looked down on these spiritual teas, such spiritual tea is the purest treasure for those acquired martial artists. With these spiritual teas in hand, even those with poor cultivation qualifications can advance to the realm of acquired Great Perfection. The only disadvantage is that the lower the cultivation qualifications, the more time it takes to advance to the realm of acquired Great Perfection.

However, no matter what, these people can eventually advance to the realm of acquired Great Perfection. Therefore, spiritual tea is definitely the most treasure among the treasures for these acquired warriors.

Maybe Zhao Chaogang took out a spiritual pill and could directly throw away the defective spiritual teas from these tens of millions of streets. However, such a spiritual pill was given to those acquired warriors, and they could only watch it as treasures. As for swallowing it, the acquired warriors did not dare to do so.

The rich spiritual energy in the spiritual pill will directly blew the bodies of acquired warriors. Therefore, for these acquired warriors, the spiritual pill can only be placed as treasures. For them, defective spiritual tea is the most precious thing.

What is the best in the world? It is best to apply!

Clothing with silk and satin is not suitable for wearing, and is not as practical as coarse casual clothes; a garden with a luxurious villa and an empty house will become a burden if the servants of the housekeeper do not weed and water them, so the huge house garden will become a burden.

In the world, gold and diamonds are the most expensive, but in the years of famine, I would rather have a bread than a piece of gold and diamonds; a pair of oversized leather shoes are worse than wearing a pair of cloth shoes of the right size because they don’t fit their feet.

"The law has no high or low status, but it is suitable for it." In department stores, consumers choose what they think is the most suitable for, but not necessarily the most expensive and valuable things. If a government agency lacks employees and does not necessarily recruit academic talents with the highest education, they must hire employees who can serve as their position.

Cosmetics are not necessarily expensive, just suitable; the so-called ups and downs are not absolutely good, just like it. Therefore, we may not be as fashionable as we look for famous brands and collect a lot of antiques and famous brands at home. But life is difficult, so why bother?

Student exams, whether in engineering, science or liberal arts, are in line with their own interests and are the first choice. When a man and a woman get married, the partner chosen by a man is not necessarily a beauty, and the partner chosen by a woman is not necessarily a handsome guy; after all, a vase is not more useful than a job, and a square is not as good as a cottage to live in.

There is no absolute good or bad in worldly laws. Each one has its own place and is suitable for it. Don’t compare it, as long as it is useful, it is the best. Being useful is more important than having money, being useful is better than being famous; being useful is greater than being virtual but not real.

The rabbit is the sprint champion of previous small animal sports games, but he can't swim. Once the rabbit was chased by a wolf to the river and was almost caught. In order to develop the small animals in an all-round way, the Animal Management Bureau sent the rabbit to a swimming training class, with puppies, turtles, and squirrels in the same class.

The puppy and the little turtle learned to swim, and they had another skill. They were very happy: the little rabbit and the little squirrel took a long time to learn it, and they were very distressed.

The training class coach Wild Duck said: "I can swim with both legs, but you can't swim with four legs? 90% of the success comes from sweat. Come on! Xiaxia!"

The critic Frog said with great emotion: "Rabbits are good at running! Why are they training only for weaknesses without developing their specialties?"

Thinker Xianhe said: "There is more than one skill required for survival! If a rabbit cannot learn to swim, he will learn to dig holes, and if a squirrel cannot learn to swim, he will learn to climb trees."

This is an interesting story, and it is also a story worth thinking about.

How do we view ourselves? What value orientation should we choose and how should we survive? In short, how should we live? This little story gives us the best answer. That is, what suits us is the best.

In terms of personal abilities, the gap between people is huge. Some people have strong abilities, some are weaker, some are comprehensive, and some are only outstanding in some aspects.

Just like the rabbit mentioned in the previous story, it is the sprint champion of previous small animal sports games, and it is undoubtedly the most outstanding in terms of running. But it cannot swim. In terms of personal learning ability, not all things can be learned and done well, because a person's learning ability is limited. In this era of knowledge explosion, it is impossible to learn every industry thoroughly.

Generally speaking, a person's outstanding abilities in a certain aspect will inevitably affect the development of abilities in other aspects.

This is like asking Einstein to study biology and Darwin to study relativity. With their abilities, they may be able to surpass ordinary scholars. But no one can reach the academic level that the other party has completed. "There is a sequence of knowledge and expertise in art." Essential talents are often not as easy as partial talents. Instead of being broad but not being proficient, it is better to strive for excellence.

The best thing that suits you is. Understand your own strengths and clarify your own shortcomings. Make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. As the saying goes, play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Using your own weaknesses to compare with others' strengths will naturally fall at a disadvantage.

Other people's successful experiences may be effective in others, but they may only play the opposite role when used in yourself. Blindly copying other people's experiences may sometimes not achieve the ideal results even if you put in more effort. At this time, you may have 100% sweat and you may have no results.

A rabbit may not be able to learn to swim in his entire life. Even if he learns it, it will not be able to become a master.

This is even more true when doing things and dealing with interpersonal relationships. When others use it, we may hit walls everywhere and get bleeding.

Therefore, there is no need to envy others' methods. Do your own good and do your true nature. We are the best because what we do is most suitable for ourselves.

Gan Wu was ordered to go to Qi State. Just as he was crossing a big river by boat, the boatman said, "The river water is just a small distance, but you can't cross it by yourself. Can you still lobby for the monarch?"

Gan Wu replied: "You can't say that. Everything in the world has its own strengths and weaknesses. A cautious, honest, kind and kind person can serve the monarch, but it is not suitable to let him command the army to fight. A good horse like the marshal can run thousands of miles away. Put it in the palace room to catch mice, which is far inferior to a kitten. Gan Jiang is a very sharp sword and has a reputation all over the world. If a carpenter uses it to cut wood, it will not be as good as an axe. Now, with the quarrel, let the ship flow up and down in the water at will, I am not as good as you, but if you lobby the monarchs of all countries, you are not as good as me."

What suits you is the best, many times, we only care about envying everything about others, but ignore that only what suits you is the best!

Perhaps many people have had the same feeling. When they were young, they always envied others. They either envy other people's powerful parents, envy what others have, or envy others' superior living conditions. In short, they think that other people's things are the best. But they never thought whether those things are suitable for them. They may not find that they are suitable for them when they have them.

Everyone knows the modern literary master - Mr. Lu-Xun. He originally wanted to treat people who were tortured by illness like his father by studying medicine, but when he was studying medicine in Sendai, he saw a heartbreaking scene: a group of Chinese people were watching a Chinese being beheaded by the Russians. From this, he realized that "all foolish and weak people, no matter how healthy or strong the physical condition, can only be meaningless materials and spectators. There is no need to think that they die of illness. Therefore, our first thing is to change their spirit."

So he resolutely abandoned the medicine and followed the literature, using his gun-like pen to awaken those sleeping ignorant and numb souls, and he also became a glorious banner in the history of modern Chinese literature.

Thinking about it now, if he hadn't thought of giving up medicine and practicing literature at that time, then today, people wouldn't know that there was such a great writer named Lu-Xun? This doesn't mean that only what suits you is the best!

I still remember Tao Yuanming, who wrote the famous line of eternal "I wish to pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely see the southern mountains." Is it true that Tao Yuanming, who did not bow his waist for five dou of rice? Due to the existence of the aristocratic system, people born in common people cannot break through the monopoly of the aristocratic family over the power of high officials. In this case, his ideals are difficult to become reality, and his ideal dreams are destined to be shattered.

Tao Yuanming did not become an official until he was 29 years old, but what he did throughout his life was just sacrificial wine. He not only could not show his ambitions, but also had to surrender his ambitions and humiliate his body in the process of complicity and conspiracy with some official figures.
To be continued...
