Cao Cao's secret technique of ruling
1. Deliberately wrong someone and see if he refutes you in person,
or sabotages you behind your back.
2. Issue an absurd order,
see who is trying to dissuade you and who is trying to please you.
3. Deliberately tell Zhang San a secret,
and then let Li Si ask Zhang San.
4. Use what you know,
to test the people around you and you will know who is lying.
5. Keep a distance
Learn to hide your true self and keep a distance from the people below you. If you get too close, your ideas and strengths and weaknesses will be exposed without a doubt, so it is important to keep a distance and keep a secret.
6. Conceal the truth
Deliberately transfer a capable and loyal minister to a remote place to torture him, and when you are about to abdicate, let your son transfer him back to reuse him, and the other party will be loyal to his son.
7. Play hard to get
Break the legs of a capable person, then give him a pair of crutches, and then let him be grateful. Deliberately let your confidant frame a capable minister and put him into a desperate situation, and then save him yourself, so that he will be grateful to you.
8. Moodiness
Emperors cannot have stable emotions. Their moodiness is actually protecting themselves. Unstable emotions can easily confuse the enemy and make them unable to figure out.
9. Hit the snake at its weakest point
When someone abuses his power for personal gain, don't rush to expose him. Hold his handle in your hand and let him know, then he will repay you with loyalty.
10. Those who help you in times of need will be rewarded
Deliberately say that you are in trouble and borrow money from people around you, and you will know who will help you in times of need and who will repay you with hatred.
11. Talk more about vision
The one who talks about dreams and the one who realizes dreams are definitely not the same person, and the emperor is the one who talks about dreams, the capable person, and always follows the one with dreams.
