Governors should also use their own skills to become followers of the six countries. Jiang Jia said, "Be close to people and rub hands with them." ""

This paper mainly discusses "power measurement" and "sentiment measurement", that is, when lobbying the monarch, strategists must fully and accurately understand the national conditions of a country and the real thoughts of the monarch, so as to make accurate judgments, formulate their own strategies and tactics, and finally achieve their own goals.

Chuai Pian is a very important one in Guiguzi, and the theory of "Chuai Qing" is one of the core ideas of strategists. From the perspective of the upper and lower structure, the chuai film is the premise and foundation of the following ink film, the whole film, the film and the film.

Those who make good use of the ancient world must measure the strength of the world and cherish the feelings of the princes [1]. The severity is not judged [2], and I don't know the name of strength; I don't know how to hide the change if I don't judge the situation.

Those who were good at applying the art of lobbying to the world in ancient times will certainly be able to gain insight into the development and changes of the political situation in the world and find out the true details of the princes of various vassal States. If the measurement of the world political situation is not clear and thorough, we will not understand the differences between countries. If you don't know the inner speculation of the monarch of the vassal state, you won't know the real thoughts hidden by the other party and his inner reaction when the external situation changes.

What is the weight, say: the size of the quantity [1], the number of people [2], the number of goods [3], the number of people [4], and the geometry; Distinguish between the dangers and advantages and disadvantages of terrain; Consider which is long and which is short; Slap the relationship between the monarch and the minister [5], who is virtuous and who is not worthy; And the knowledge and wisdom of the guests [6], which is more or less; See whether the weather is good or bad; At the turn of the princes, what to use and what not to use; People's hearts are always changing, which is safe, which is dangerous, which is kind and which is hateful.

What is the measure of power? The answer is: we should consider the size of a country's region and the number of advisers, estimate the number of product resources and national wealth, the population, and what materials are abundant or lacking; Distinguish whether the terrain is steep or flat, where the terrain is favorable and where the terrain is harmful; For a country's counselors, it is necessary to know which counselors are good at planning the long-term and which counselors are good at planning the present; Speculate the relationship between monarch and minister, and find out who is wise and who is not; Predict the resourcefulness and lack of resourcefulness of other guests; Observe the time sequence changes of astronomical phenomena, when it brings happiness, when it brings disaster, when it acts well and when it is fierce; Observe the relationship between vassals to see who has allies to rely on, who is close and available, and who has no allies to rely on and cannot use; Observe the changes of people's hearts and see which country has stable people's hearts, which country has unstable people's hearts, who is loved by the people and who is hated by the people.

People with feelings [1] must be extremely eager when they are very happy [2], have desires and can't hide their feelings; When you are afraid, you will be extremely evil and can't hide your feelings. Lust will change [3]. It is wrong to be moved but not aware of its change [4], and it is wrong to know its safety without talking to relatives [6]. If the husband's feelings have changed from the inside, they will be seen from the outside [7]. Therefore, it is often necessary to know the hermit through the people you see, so it is called sounding [8].

" What is safe, satisfied and loved.

To find out the secret truth of the other person's heart, we must cater to him when he is happiest and try our best to satisfy his desires. If the other person has desires, the inner truth can't be hidden; Be sure to meet him when he is most afraid, and induce his fear and hatred to the maximum extent. If you have fear and hatred, you can't hide your inner feelings. People's inner feelings and desires must be unconsciously revealed when their emotions change extremely. If you touch the other person's feelings, but you still can't figure out his change, then put him aside for a while, don't talk to him, and ask someone close to him instead, so as to know what he is satisfied with. The changes in the heart will definitely show up from the outside. Therefore, people can often infer people's hearts through external performance, which is called snooping and speculation.

Therefore, people who plan state affairs should judge the size of power; When you say that man is the master, you should judge your feelings. Desire must come from this [1]. It is precious, but it can also be cheap; Can be heavy or light; It is profitable, but it can also be harmful; It can be achieved, but it can also be defeated. One of them is also [2]. Therefore, although there are Wang Zhidao and the sage's plans, they are not based on feelings and cannot be hidden [3]. This plan is also a big book, and the method of saying it is also [4].

However, sentimental people, the plan is sincere, talking about the law. "This refers to the feeling. Big Ben, the most basic thing.

Therefore, if we want to plan national affairs, we must measure the strength and strength of the world in detail; If you want to lobby the monarch, you must thoroughly guess his real thoughts and feelings. This is the starting point of all strategies and ideas. People who are good at using the "art of feeling" can make themselves rich or make others fall into poverty; Let yourself be reused and others be despised; Profit for yourself, harm others and not benefit yourself; Finally, let yourself succeed and others fail. The law is the same. Therefore, despite the virtues of ancient kings and the superb wisdom of saints, nothing can be pursued unless all hidden and hidden facts are thoroughly ascertained. It can be seen that this "art of feeling" is the basis of strategy and the law of lobbying.

It often happens to people, and people can't be the first, and they are born first. This is the hardest thing [1]. Therefore, it is the most difficult to keep the company, so you must consider it from time to time [2]. Therefore, observing the flight and crawling of flies [3] is beneficial and can cause trouble. Beautiful troublemaker [4], several potential also [5]. This sentiment was polished into an article and then discussed [6].

[1] Four sentences: Tao Hongjing's note: "Those who rely on emotions must have their own opinions, so people should not act first." I can be poor and resourceful, so I came first. Since it is wonderful, I can't do it either. So, this is the hardest thing. "Everything depends on human effort, things can be predicted before they happen, and preparations have been made.

[2] Therefore, it is the most difficult to hold on, and you must think carefully. Tao Hongjing's Note: "It is difficult to know the nature of human feelings. It's not hard to guess, keep it! Therefore, it is the most difficult to keep company, and it is necessary to know its season for human reasons. This is the hardest. " Accompany, control, control.

Therefore, if you go with it, you will be happy, and if you go against it, you will be angry. Anyone here? What about ghosts and gods? It is based on people who are interested, people who can't make trouble unreasonably, and what should be done must be done. However, it is natural that there are advantages and disadvantages. So this is also the beauty of causing trouble, and those who cause trouble must judge the situation. Therefore, there are several possibilities for troublemakers. " A few, a few, a small sign of things.

[6] embellish this sentiment into an article, and then discuss it: Tao Hongjing's Note: "The words are both aware of their feelings, and then they are guided by text modification, so the words must be made into an article and then discussed." Articles, words, rhetoric.

A good guesser often comes into contact with others, but no one can surpass him. Being able to foresee and prepare before things happen is the most difficult of the "art of feeling". Therefore, feelings are the most difficult to grasp, and you must always think carefully and deal with them carefully when lobbying. Even a small thing like a small insect flying contains advantages and disadvantages, which makes things change. When something big happens, there are often small signs. This requires us to be good at embellishing our feelings and then discussing them.
