Brother-in-law drinks and talks big.

It is the first thing for every emperor to do after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, successfully established a new regime, and gradually began to seal the hero.

The emperor's reward is as happy as the leader's performance bonus. However, some people still refuse to reward. Guo Decheng, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's reward, declined because of illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not so angry. It is really strange.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's experience, from the grassroots to the emperor of a country, his promotion is really incomparable to ordinary people. Therefore, as long as it is around him and still alive, it can be regarded as a dragon's work more or less.

Guo Decheng is the kind of person who is closer to the power center than the dragon's works. Guo Decheng is also considered as Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law, because his sister was the concubine that Zhu Yuanzhang received before he started his business successfully.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was still down and out, Guo Decheng's sister Guo served Zhu Yuanzhang wholeheartedly, without belittling his meaning because he used to be a grassroots. The three brothers of the Guo family, the eldest brother Guo Xing, the second brother and the third brother Guo Decheng, followed closely and assisted them wholeheartedly. In his early years, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the battlefield and made great achievements, which made the Guo family very embarrassed.

It is precisely because of this dedication that after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, the Guo family was promoted to Ning Fei, the Guo family's father was named Ying Guogong by posthumous title, and the Guo family was named Gong Changhou and Wu Dinghou. Only Guo Decheng was appointed as Knight Rider.

Later, Ma Huanghou died of illness, and Ning Fei was in charge of the harem. In order to show the importance of Ning Fei, it was decided to promote Guo's brother-in-law, who was still wandering in the position of Scheeren.

One day, Ming Taizu called Guo Decheng to the temple, saying that considering his previous contributions, his current official position was unworthy of virtue, and he decided to give him a promotion and become a viceroy. The viceroy of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the central military commander, which was a high official position and was a good thing for Guo Decheng.

Hearing this, Guo Decheng quickly kowtowed and admitted, "There is something wrong with me. I can't be a big official! I am lazy and greedy, and I like drinking. I don't want to be a big official, I just want to drink enough. " Guo Decheng's stupidity of "being an official delayed my drinking" made Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang laugh after listening to it, and also succeeded in getting Zhu Yuanzhang to replace the reward for senior officials with wine, gold and silver.

Guo Decheng's stupidity cannot be said to be his true face. If you are really a fool, then I think it's time to jump out happily in the face of high-ranking officials, instead of making a silly appearance to refuse.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, was famous for his paranoia in his later years, and many people were afraid that he would kill people among heroes in his later years. A companion is like a tiger. Rao is a person like aquamarine and Hu, and he was born to die. But Guo Decheng, such a "stupid" person, failed to appear on Zhu Yuanzhang's death list. Is he too stupid? On the contrary, Guo Decheng's cleverness saved his life.

After Guo Decheng refused Zhu Yuanzhang's reward, his official position was not promoted, but his relationship with Ming Taizu was much closer. Undeniably, Ming Taizu was a very good emperor, but he also had many problems that emperors would have-paranoia.

Doubt can be regarded as an occupational disease of almost all emperors in feudal dynasty. The longer I sit in that supreme position, the more suspicious I become, and I feel that there are unruly people trying to hurt me all day long. At this time, the more intelligent people, the greater the threat to the emperor. The emperor doesn't need the people close to the waiter to be smart, just need them to obey.

A fool like Guo Decheng who is willing to trade wine for official positions is just the people around Ming Taizu. Guo Decheng's nonsense of not drinking and being an official is just the emperor's showing off his personal relationship. I don't regard your majesty as an outsider, so I say so.

It is because of Guo Decheng's remedy to the case that his relationship with Ming Taizu has gone further. In his spare time, Ming Taizu often dines with Guo Decheng in the Imperial Garden. However, even a cautious man like Guo Decheng, encouraged by alcohol, could not help talking nonsense.

At that time, Guo Decheng drank three rounds, and the whole person was drunk, showing a drunken appearance in front of the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang was amused by his slightly intimate gaffes again, and quipped, "You look like this, your hair is messy, just like a madman."

Hearing this, Guo Decheng touched his messy long hair and took a sip of wine. Well, he replied, "The emperor didn't know that this hair had been in the way for a long time. I thought it would be neat to shave your head one day! "

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is interested, not to mention a suspicious person like Ming Taizu. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, became a monk in Huang Jue before the uprising. When he was in the upper position, he was jealous of the words "bald head" and "monk" mentioned by others, and always felt that he was satirizing him.

Guo Decheng was drunk and said "speak the truth after drinking" in front of himself. Is Guo Decheng so arrogant that even the emperor dares to arrange it? Drunk is also the best excuse to cover up. Even the emperor had no choice but to attack the drunkard and let Guo Decheng go home on the spot.

On the way home, Guo Decheng's alcohol gradually faded, or he was awakened by fear. He has been thinking about what he said, and he broke out in a cold sweat, which is the taboo of the emperor. Not to mention drinking in the future, it is not certain whether he will survive.

Besides, this wine talk is not easy to explain. An explanation shows that it was not an unintentional wine talk. If you don't explain it, the emperor will definitely leave a thorn in his heart, and maybe one day it will become a sword hanging over Guo Decheng's head.

Guo Decheng thought about it, and the next day he simply went to the temple and became a monk, fulfilling his "Drunk Life and Dream Death Curse". Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, saw Guo Decheng come true and went to become a monk. He didn't pursue it, but teased Guo Decheng's true face with Ning Fei.

It is a choice that few people can make, and it is even more rare for Guo Decheng to choose the right direction correctly and decisively when facing life and other material desires.

From Guo De's unsuccessful behavior, we can see that he really doesn't have so much attachment to power, and he doesn't dare to have any resentment in his heart, because he has grasped the most important point, "Life matters". He can decisively refuse the emperor's reward, or he can decide to shave his head and become a monk. He is really a clever man.

You know, what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to reward at the beginning was not a field, nor a beautiful woman, but a high official and generous. With this, any field, beauty, gold and silver will run into his pocket. Throughout the ages, how many heroes have been ruined by these words, and Guo Decheng can refuse without changing his face and jumping, then his cleverness and wit are not just those he shows.

Guo Decheng's alertness is not a case, but a tradition of his family. Guo Decheng's eldest brother, Guo Xing, was named as the Palace Chief Hou after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, ranking among the six princes and twenty-eight princes in the Ming Dynasty. Such strength, and just ended the day of fighting in the battlefield, Guo Xing should be triumphant and happy for a few years, and then think of it and hide it.

However, Guo Xing is very smart, and he understands that killing the donkey will benefit Gao Zhen. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has started a very low-key civil service life. Hidden in the city, Guo Xing is well hidden among a group of ministers, neither picky nor making mistakes, but sticking to his duties and being an ordinary person.

Let's talk about Guo Decheng's second brother Guo Ying. Guo Ying, as its name implies, is full of heroism. He was a good soldier on the battlefield and saved Zhu Yuanzhang's life when he fought with him everywhere. Zhu Yuanzhang therefore gave him a silk shirt. It can be said that he had a lifelong friendship with Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor.

During the Yongzheng period, Nian Gengyao guarded the city gate in a yellow coat given by the early emperor, and was given suicide. Why is Nian Gengyao so confident? Because his friendship with Yongzheng existed before Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he used a yellow jacket to suggest that Yongzheng would not forget old feelings, remember old favors and repay them.

When Guo Ying was a teenager, the gold shirt was much more precious than the yellow jacket. However, Guo Ying dare not use it to express his gratitude. He is just like his brother.

Guo Xing, Guo Ying and Guo Decheng's understanding of the times really left a livelihood for themselves and their families. They were able to assess the situation, and did not use kindness to the emperor as a bargaining chip, but saved their lives. Maybe they can't get as much wealth as others, but the road of the Guo family is wider and farther than others.

In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang killed heroes. "Ming History" records that "after the party was founded, the dead were attached, but morality was exempted." Colleagues who used to have contacts with Guo Decheng all came to a dead end because of party struggles and other reasons, but small officials like Guo Decheng were rarely spared. Not only Guo Decheng, but also the three brothers of Guo were safe and sound in Zhu Yuanzhang's later humiliation.

This is not because the Guo family has a bad relationship with their in-laws. If the dragon face is really angered, the queen mother will not be spared. The deeper reason why the Guo family can survive is that they are smart and judge the situation, and also because they know how to deal with the relationship with the emperor and don't take themselves too seriously.

In today's society, the boss can no longer master the power of life and death of his subordinates, but he still needs to rely on one or two. The Guo family had a close relationship with the emperor, and they did not show off because of their special relationship, nor were they presumptuous because of their past achievements. It is worth learning from all migrant workers.

In the final analysis, it is to see clearly your position and not take yourself too seriously. The most important person in the company is the boss, not the on-call worker. Only by knowing the way of the workplace can you keep your job for a long time.
