What are some examples of narrow-mindedness in history? What a hurry!

Think back to Gong Jin, when Xiao Qiao just got married, he was handsome, holding a feather fan and wearing a black silk scarf. He talked and laughed, and it's all over.

This is a description of Zhou Yu. Is this a narrow-minded person? Don't confuse novels on the first floor with history.

Cao Cao

Although Cao Cao is a capable boss, he also has the weakness of being narrow-minded. He achieved a great career, but also because of his narrow mind, he ruined some of his outstanding talents. The most prominent example is the well-known story of Cao Cao and Yang Xiu.

Arrogant Yang Xiu was repeatedly envied by Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao built a garden. Cao Cao was noncommittal after reading it. He just took a pen and wrote the word "live" on the gate and left. Everyone didn't understand what this meant, except Yang Xiu, who said, "If the word' live' is written on the door, it is a wide word. The Prime Minister thinks the door is too wide. " So the craftsman rebuilt the city gate and invited Cao Cao to see it. Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked, "Who knows my heart?" People around say it's Yang Xiu. Cao Cao praised Yang Xiu for his cleverness, but he was jealous.

On another occasion, someone from Saibei sent a box of shortbread. Cao Cao wrote the word "crisp" on the box and put it on the record. Yang Xiu saw it, so he took a spoon and shared it with everyone. When Cao Cao asked him why, Yang Xiu said, "The box clearly says one person is crisp. How dare I disobey the orders of the Prime Minister? " Although Cao Cao smiled, he already hated Yang Xiu in his heart.

Cao Cao is afraid that others will harm him when he sleeps, and often says to his left and right, "I like killing people in my dreams." Don't come near me when I am asleep. " One day, Cao Cao was sleeping in his tent when the quilt fell to the ground. A bodyguard came to help Cao Cao cover the quilt. Cao Cao jumped up, drew his sword and killed the guard, then went to bed and went back to sleep. After waking up, Cao Cao deliberately asked in surprise, "Who killed the guard?" About telling him the truth, Cao Cao wept bitterly and ordered the guards to be buried. From then on, everyone believed that Cao Cao would kill people in his dreams. But only Yang Xiu knew Cao Cao's real intention and sighed when burying the guards: "The Prime Minister is not in a dream, you are in a dream!" When Cao Cao learned about it, he hated Yang Xiu more and more.

Later, Yang Xiu used his intelligence to help Cao Zhi fight for the right to inherit the throne, which caused more and more dissatisfaction with Cao Cao. He had already planned to kill Yang Xiu.

Once, Cao Cao was at a disadvantage in the battle with Liu Bei, and retreated from the valley, unable to advance or retreat, hesitating. It happened that the chef brought chicken soup. When Cao Cao saw the chicken ribs in the soup, he couldn't help feeling nostalgic. While he was thinking, Xia Houdun entered the account and asked for the password at night. Cao Cao casually said, "Chicken ribs, chicken ribs." Xia Houdun ordered the officers and men to take "chicken ribs" as the number. As soon as Yang Xiuwen heard that the order was "chicken ribs", he taught the accompanying soldiers to pack up and prepare for their return trip. Someone told Xia Houdun that Xia Houdun was frightened and asked Yang Xiu why he packed his bags. Yang Daoxiu: "Through tonight's order, I know that Wang Wei will leave in a few days. Chicken ribs taste meatless. It's a pity to lose them. If you can't win the attack now, you will be afraid of being laughed at if you retreat. It's no good being here, so it's better to go back as soon as possible. Wang Wei will definitely move tomorrow. Please pack your bags first, so as not to panic when you leave. " Xia Houdun said, "You really know Wang Wei's mind!" So all the soldiers and soldiers in the stockade are ready to return to the plan.

That night, Cao Cao was flustered and couldn't sleep, so he took a steel axe and quietly patrolled the camp. I saw the soldiers packing, so I called Xia Houdun to ask why. Xia Houdun said that Yang Xiu, the chief bookkeeper, knew the significance of the king's withdrawal. Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu to ask, and Yang Xiu told Cao Cao the meaning of chicken ribs. Cao Cao was furious: "How dare you talk nonsense and mess with our army!" He ordered the executioner to behead Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu's talent aroused Cao Cao's jealousy, and Cao Cao finally found a chance to kill him. This shows how dangerous it is to work under a narrow-minded boss!

Napoleon

Napoleon was a great man, but it was because he was narrow-minded that he lost his position as the world hegemon and ended his legendary life with failure.

Napoleon rejected a great invention and lost an excellent opportunity to dominate the world simply because he couldn't stand the word "tall" inadvertently used by others. He lost an era because he was narrow-minded.

Reese, who was worried about his position, killed Han Fei. He also encouraged Qin Shihuang to burn books and bury Confucianism.

When the peasants revolted at the end of Sui Dynasty, Shi Mi actually killed Qurang, who had previously given up the throne, in order to keep his position as a leader.
