The conferment ceremony - some people are happy and some are sad

——"Zhu Yuanzhang" drama review

After the Battle of Panyang Lake, Xu Da went north with lightning speed to eliminate the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty, and the world was settled.

Next, there is something more important and dangerous than attacking the city - the conferment ceremony. This can be understood from the expectant eyes of the generals in the Fengtian Palace, and Zhu Yuanzhang feels like a mirror. of.

However, he deliberately delayed the matter because he had not yet figured out how to restrain and supervise the generals after the enfeoffment. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang took a fancy to Liu Bowen's integrity and selflessness, hating evil as much as hatred, and fulfilling his duties. Because of his character, he was appointed as the censor of Zuodu, the Supervisory Council, responsible for supervising the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang had been thinking about enfeoffment. He felt that it was inappropriate to discuss this matter with anyone. He could only work with Queen Ma to lay out the merits and demerits of the generals in the palace. He asked Queen Ma to prepare Three pieces of yellow, red, and green cloth were placed on wooden poles, representing dukes, marquises, and earls respectively. Zhu Yuanzhang usually recorded the general's deeds on small pieces of paper. He believed that the emperor should know the good and the bad, the light and the dark, and merit is clear. The commendation was given in person, but was written secretly on the note.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wrote the names of the civil and military ministers of the third rank and above on small pieces of paper, and filtered them one by one. The couple discussed it in advance, and Zhu Yuanzhang made the final decision. Empress Ma only had the right to make suggestions, and the name pieces of paper needed to be pinned to each other. Corresponding color cloth.

In fact, the couple knew little about these ministers. When Liu Bowen, Lan Yu, Tang He and others had differences, Queen Ma thought that Lan Yu could be made an earl, but she immediately realized In view of his remarkable achievements in the Battle of Hongdu, the first battle was the decisive battle, and the outcome was decided in one battle. It was still necessary to make him a marquis, and he obtained Zhu Yuanzhang's approval; Tang He did not allow Queen Ma to distinguish, and Zhu Yuanzhang directly designated him as an earl; and what about Liu Bowen? Zhu Yuanzhang named him an earl. Queen Ma believed that Liu Bowen had been following him for more than ten years, and his credit was not inferior to that of Li Shanchang, but should at least be that of a marquis. After repeated consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang still placed Liu Bowen in the title of uncle. Empress Ma was worried that Liu Bowen would not be able to swallow this breath, but Zhu Yuanzhang said with certainty: Not only would he happily swallow this breath, but he would also secretly reflect on himself!

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang announced the list of conferments - Six Dukes, Eighteen Marquises and Twenty-eight Uncles. The titles are hereditary, and the salary is divided into three, six and nine grades according to the titles. After hearing the list, There are dancers with beaming faces, but there are also those with sad faces. In that strict-hierarchical feudal dynasty, it is conceivable that the award of a title is related to generations to come.

The author analyzes that there are two main reasons why Liu Bowen fell to the earl:

(1) After rescuing Queen Xiao Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang was named King of Wu. The whole army cheered, but Liu Bowen was not seen. When he saw no trace of him, he asked Hu Weiyong where he was. Hu deliberately said that Liu Bowen said that King Wu and King Xiao Ming were acting while others were watching the show, so he stopped joining in the fun. In fact, this was a joke between Liu Bowen and Xiao Liuzi, who knew it happened Hu Weiyong heard these words, and these words hit Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, thinking that Liu Bowen was too smart.

(2) Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Liu Bowen was arrogant and had always looked down on him, a local emperor. For example, when Zhu Yuanzhang shared a good strategy for governing the country with Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen would inquire whose idea it was. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen to guess, and Liu Bowen They guessed a lot of people including Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Lu Chang, Yang Xian, etc., but Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him was not mentioned at all. In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it was obvious that he did not take him seriously.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Liu Bowen was like an oil droplet floating on the water in his team that fought for the world, unable to integrate with his brothers.

Another person who needs to talk about is Tang He. Tang He and Zhu Yuanzhang were playmates who had been together since childhood. They fought together on the battlefield and had outstanding achievements. They also had the grace of knowing others and saving lives. However, they were surprised to get a marquis. This is the brilliance of Zhu Yuanzhang. Because of his many outstanding military exploits, There are only six positions for Dukes, so a brother needs to make a sacrifice, so that Youyou can be blocked.

Another thing about Tang He that Zhu Yuanzhang has always been worried about is that Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded Li Shanchang with a courtyard, and Li Shanchang wanted to expand it, so Tang He used his power to send out Five hundred elite soldiers were sent just to repair the courtyard for Li Shanchang. It seemed like a small matter, but in the eyes of the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang, he was in cahoots with the collusion of civil and military officials. But he couldn't mobilize all his troops to put this matter on the table, so he could only hide it.

Extending it to the workplace, the author would like to explore it from three aspects.

(1) Respect the authority of superiors.

A hero does not care about his origins. As long as he takes the position of a superior, his subordinates must bow to him. This is not just flattery in words or deeds, but in his heart he is as unwilling and angry as a galloping horse. This is This unwillingness will be revealed unconsciously in your tone, mood, and mentality, but as a superior, can't he feel it? Can't you feel your duplicity? Always remember that he is the superior and is superior. Therefore, you need to express your sincerity and admiration sincerely and without reservation. The feelings are mutual. Only in this way can you gain the full trust of your superior.

(2) Seeing through without telling the truth is true wisdom.

When I was a child, when I was reviewing before the exam, the teacher would say: You should read the book first, and then read the book thin. I couldn’t understand it at the time. How could I read it thicker and thinner at one time? , Practical mountain, this has a philosophical reason. It is to review comprehensively first, and review every detail. Then, it is necessary to summarize and refine the essence.

This process is similar to that of management. Do addition first and then subtraction. Understand the nature and habits of employees. You must know that no one is perfect. When you encounter shortcomings, you should give more guidance and be more confused. , to get along with them, be more generous and tolerant, instead of pointing out everything, counting everything, and fighting over each other. Try your best to give both parties some room to relax and get along.

(3) Sacrificing oneself to achieve success for everyone is also a kind of workplace balancing technique.

Employees often suffer not from scarcity but from inequality. This is also one of the reasons why performance appraisal indicator settings, year-end bonus standards, and salary adjustment standards are constantly being updated and new ones emerge one after another. We always hope to continue to improve and do our best to satisfy everyone, but things often backfire. At this time, in order to achieve relative fairness and convince everyone, it is necessary to mention a "chicken" with better performance and give a score that is surprising to everyone, so as to give the other "monkeys" an insight. This should be regarded as a strategy. and means.
