Throughout history, a common conspiracy centers around loyalty. When someone's achievements become too significant, it puts the emperor in a tough spot. Eliminating such individuals without direct action is challenging, and dealing with them becomes a complex issue.
In such cases, the emperor may feign ignorance and allow treacherous ministers to eliminate the loyal ones. The treacherous ministers take the blame, and then the emperor "wakes up," punishes them, and posthumously honors the loyal ministers, thereby resolving the situation. This clever maneuver often leads people to praise the emperor's wisdom.
To navigate life wisely, it's crucial to exhibit high emotional intelligence and remain low-key. Flaunting your beauty attracts envy, displaying your wealth invites greed, and showing sincerity can lead to betrayal. To thrive, adhere to these principles: hide your talents and wisdom, control your desires and self-reflect, seek truth and be cautious with your words, and maintain pure and good emotions.
