[English translation] With honey in his mouth; Danger in my heart
[Idiom Story] Li, the official residence of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, is not only the "minister of war" but also the "minister of secretariat of history" and the post of prime minister. This person is not bad if he is talented, and he can write and draw well. But when it comes to morality, it's terrible. He is jealous and does harm to others, and will do whatever it takes to exclude and attack those who are more talented and prestigious than him, as well as those who have similar power and status. When he arrived in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, he had a set of flattering skills. He tried his best to accommodate Xuanzong, using various methods to please Xuanzong's favorite concubines and trusted eunuchs, and gained their favor and support to keep his position. When Li is in contact with people, he always shows an amiable appearance and says some beautiful "good words". But in fact, his character is very insidious and cunning, and he often harms people secretly. For example, once, he pretended to be sincere and said to his colleague Li, "Huashan produces a lot of gold, which will greatly increase the wealth of the country if it can be mined." Unfortunately, the emperor still doesn't know. "
Li thought it was true and hurried to suggest Xuanzong to mine quickly. Xuanzong was very happy to hear that. He immediately called Li to discuss the matter, but Li said, "I already know about it. Huashan Mountain is a place where the emperor's geomantic omen is concentrated. How can you use it casually? I'm afraid what others advise you and me is malicious. I tried to tell you about it several times, but I was afraid to speak. " Xuanzong was moved by his words and thought that he was really a loyal and patriotic courtier. On the contrary, he was dissatisfied with Yi Shi and gradually alienated him.
In this way, with Li's special "skill", he became the prime minister for more than ten years.
The encyclopedia is explained as follows:
With honey in his mouth.
Song Sima Guang's "Zi Tongzhi Tang Jian Xuanzong Tianbao First Year": "Avoid the scribes especially, or be kind to them, and spit them out with sweet words. The world says that Li Fulin' has honey in his mouth and a sword in his stomach'. " It means sweet in the mouth and hard in the heart. Describe the cunning and sinister two-faced, referring to the snake and the scorpion.

The idiom [Back to the Directory] comes from Song Sima Guang's "The First Year of Tianbao, the son of Xuanzong": "Avoid the scribes especially, or be kind to them and spit them out with sweet words. The world says that Li Fulin' has honey in his mouth and a sword in his stomach'. "
It means sweet mouth and cruel heart. Describe a cunning and insidious two-faced, generally referring to a snake-hearted person.
Grammatical usage combination; As predicate and attribute; derogatory sense
Example [Back to Directory] Wang Mingshizhen's "Feng Ming Ji Nan Monument" 25: "This fellow ~, the so-called hatred of friends."
Synonym [Back to Directory] A snake in its mouth hides a knife in its smile.
The antonym [back to the directory] is outspoken and has a heart.
Allusions [back to the directory] Li, the minister of war of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (Li Longji), is not bad in talent, and his words and paintings are very good; However, as an official, he did not do things honestly, but blindly accommodated and catered to Xuanzong's will. Not only that, he also used some improper methods to make friends with eunuchs and concubines who were closely related to Xuanzong.
Li Linfu crowded those who disagreed with him in the front row of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Linfu crowded those who disagreed with him in the front row of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
So he was very popular with Xuanzong and became an official in the DPRK 19 years. Li is in contact with ordinary people. He always shows friendliness and cooperation in appearance, and all he says is nice and kind words. But in fact, his temperament and his superficial attitude are completely opposite; He turned out to be a very cunning and insidious person, who often gave bad ideas to harm people. However, although bad people can sometimes achieve the goal of harming others and not benefiting themselves, they will find this hypocrisy after a long time, so everyone will say that he has "honey in his mouth and a sword in his stomach" behind his back. That is: the mouth is sweet, but the sword in the heart hurts. In the Tang Dynasty, there was assistant minister Li Yifu in the book. His usual movements and expressions are loyal and gentle. And no matter who he talks to, he always grins at himself first to show his sincerity and kindness. In fact, people on earth are mean and treacherous at heart, and often use insidious tricks to harm people. After a long time, people also found his mask, wrapped it behind his back and said that he "hides the knife in his smile." People like Li and Li Yifu are terrible because they are not what they seem. If they are not careful, they will suffer. Therefore, it is not only a good idiom, but also a warning for us to make friends. Although "Hidden Sword" and "Hiding Knife in Laughter" come from two stories of two people, they have the same meaning, both of which describe people's duplicity and duplicity; External performance is very good, very attractive, and people are willing to make friends, but inside they are trying their best to calculate and murder people. Li is a famous figure in the history of Tang Dynasty. He became famous not because of his good governance, virtue and talent, but because of his exclusive power and his tactics of monopolizing political power. During the more than ten years of Li's autocratic power, Li Tang's politics became increasingly dark and various contradictions were sharp. The flourishing age of Kaiyuan rapidly evolved into an economic and political crisis at the end of Tianbao. Li served as prime minister for 16 years in Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty. He has always been rated as a traitor with a "honey sword" and a sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people. The idiom "lip service is not enough" means that only Li makes laws. At that time, all the people in North Korea said with one voice: "Although Gong Li is smiling, he casts a sword in his belly." Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty put it more clearly: "The world says that Li has honey in his mouth and a sword in his belly." So, is Li Zhen such a person? Li was born in an imperial clan, and his great-grandfather was his stepbrother. By seniority, he is a distant uncle of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. He has always been looked down upon because of his low moral standards, but he is smart and good at gaining. He has served as an advisor, a criminal department, an official department, and an assistant minister of Huangmen. In the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan (734), he served as Prime Minister, third-class official of the Ministry of Rites, and was the same as Zhongshu.
Li knew that the way to be an official was to be able to read the emperor's mind. Therefore, he tried his best to befriend the concubines and eunuchs in the harem in order to get the real thoughts of the emperor from them. According to historical records, Li is a "soft and tough" person, who knows the funeral of eunuchs and concubines and knows everything when he waits. So every time he hits the right, he often calls it purport to please them. " At that time, Yang Guifei had not yet entered the palace, and Wu Huifei was the most popular in the harem. Wu Huifei's son Shouwang was especially favored by Xuanzong, and Li said through eunuchs that he would try his best to recommend Shouwang as a prince. Therefore, Hui Fei trusted Li very much and told Li about Xuanzong's movements from time to time through eunuchs. The clueless Xuanzong really regarded Li as a confidant, and his affection for him was growing day by day. Pei Guangting's wife is Wu Sansi's daughter. She secretly hooked up with Li, trying to take a picture of Li in front of Xuanzong through Gao Shi, but without success. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wanted to use Han Xiu as prime minister, so Mrs Pei asked Li Gongfang to recommend Han Xiu to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Han Xiuju was very grateful to Li after the photo, so she recommended Li people to help him, so Li was promoted to assistant minister of Huangmen and entered the ranks of prime ministers. In order to achieve the goal of monopolizing the world, Li first excluded the same time from the prime minister. At that time, Zhang Jiuling was the secretary-general, Pei Yaoqing was the assistant, and Li was not the main ruler. Zhang Jiuling despises him and doesn't take him seriously at all. Although Li hated it to death, because Zhang Jiuling was in power, Li appeared from time to time to please him. When the ministers were discussing, Li never dared to openly oppose Zhang Jiuling's opinion, but set a trap behind his back everywhere, denounced Xuanzong, made mischief and created conflicts between the monarch and his subjects.
The opportunity finally came in the 24th year of Kaiyuan (736). Wang Yuan Dan, the secretariat of Yuzhou, took bribes, while Wang Yuan Dan's wife was the divorced ex-wife of Yan Tingzhi, a good friend of Zhang Jiuling. Yan Ting wants to clear the name of the Wang Yuan family. Li confided the news to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, who wanted to investigate the crimes covered up by Yan Ting. Zhang Jiuling didn't know that this was a trap set by Li, so he tried his best to defend Yan Tingzhi, so that Zhang Jiuling, Pei Yaoqing, Yan Tingzhi and others were accused of cronyism and were only responsible for Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing. Onlookers said it was Li's plan to kill two birds with one stone. From then on, he began his authoritarian career. When Li was in power, he tried his best to "shut up" and "hide the emperor's eyes and ears." At that time, a minister remonstrated with Xuanzong, but Li openly obstructed it and stopped it by intimidation. He said: "The Lord is here today, and the ministers will be at a loss. Didn't you see the horse standing on the battlefield? After eating three ingredients, you will be dismissed immediately, and you will regret it! " The so-called "immediately" refers to the war horse of the court guard of honor. They usually eat good feed and grow tall and fat. Every day, eight horses are divided into two teams, standing outside the palace gate on the side of the main hall, and will be scattered in wartime. Li compared ministers to a standing horse, which undoubtedly required them to pose, and anyone who wanted to express their opinions would be belittled. From then on, ministers were afraid of Li's power and dared not remonstrate with Xuanzong, and the road to remonstration was cut off. Li is a man with a strong desire for power and likes to monopolize power. Therefore, he specially introduced some Nuo Nuo people who have no intelligence and opinions to have sex with them. Niu Xianke, whom he introduced, obeyed Li's orders in all political affairs, only "led a clean life" and did not directly participate in doing bad things. After the death of Niu Xianke, Xuanzong ordered Li, a minister of punishments, to take Niu Xianke's place on the left. Li was also born in an imperial clan and wanted to compete with Li for power. Therefore, I tried to get rid of Li. Later, Li Fulin recommended Chen Xilie as his right-hand man. He was also a passive Nuo Nuo. It can be seen that during the authoritarian period, Li only hired people who were easy to subdue to deal with them, in order to achieve the purpose of monopolizing power. At the same time, he also tried to stop Xuanzong from starting a new stove. In the sixth year of Tianbao (747), Xuanzong "wanted to recruit people from all over the world". Li was afraid that Xuanzong would use people of insight against him, so he cunningly used Xuanzong's trust in him to play a little trick, and finally no one in the country was selected. He also hypocritically congratulated Xuanzong for being "clean". It seems that all the wise men in the world are employed, and the savages are "humble and stupid". Li not only "leads the incompetent government", but also framed, squeezed out and attacked the prestigious ministers in the DPRK, which was called "jealous of the virtuous, and saved the position". Yan Tingzhi mentioned earlier was demoted by Xuanzong, but Xuanzong always thought he was a useful talent. After many years, I still asked about him and wanted to transfer him back to Beijing for reuse. Li played a trick again, deceiving Xuanzong that Yan Ting was old and had a wind disease, and suggested that Xuanzong give him a leisure job and let him go home for illness. Wait, the list goes on. The autocratic power of Li and Li gradually led the Tang Dynasty to a weak and chaotic political situation. When Tang Xianzong was in power, a minister hit the nail on the head and pointed out: "The chaos in Lushan Mountain is called in the world, and the chaos was managed in different times. I said, "Stop Zhang Jiuling and get close to Fu Lin, and chaos will be easy. "Many historians in later generations agree with this view that the use of Li Weixiang by Xuanzong was an important reason for the later Anshi Rebellion and the weakness of the Tang Dynasty. Li completely denied both being a man and being an official, but in fact he was the first person to completely deny Li. Shortly after Li's death, before he was buried, his political opponent Yang instigated An Lushan to falsely accuse Li of collaborating with Abs for rebellion. As a result, Li was deprived of all his official titles, and the coffin was cut off with golden purple robes and alkaline pearls, and buried in a small coffin with his gifts. There was no money at home, and his descendants went into exile. Later, after fleeing to Sichuan, he asked about Li. Xuanzong said: "This person is jealous of talents and recommends people who are not as good as himself. Yan said, "Since your majesty knows that Li is such a person, why did you hire him for such a long time?" ? "Xuanzong bowed his head and fell silent. It can be seen that denying Li is not something that later historians began to do, but that the parties have already had this view. Maybe someone will ask, is Li Zhen just a dishonest, jealous and worthless villain? Is his popularity only because he confused Tang Xuanzong with the wisdom of that treacherous court official? Judging from the actual situation, Tang Xuanzong was very clear about Li. I'm afraid there are other reasons why he has spoiled Li for a long time besides being confused by his clever words. It should be said that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was a clever and capable emperor. We can see clearly from his early years when he cut off Wei Hou and Princess Anle, his uncle, and then cut off Princess Taiping's power to establish his own political power, as well as the emergence of a prosperous new century. Unfortunately, time waits for no one. By the end of Kaiyuan, he was getting older. At that time, the society was stable, the economy was prosperous, and the household registration tax was increased, which made him no longer interested and energetic in state affairs as he was at the beginning. In this way, he needs a smart person who can understand and carry out his intentions to handle political affairs instead of him. Li is just such a suitable candidate. He is an experienced bureaucrat when dealing with major military affairs in state affairs. The history book says that "everything is too cautious, everything is organized, and discipline is increased, and Chinese and foreign capitals are constantly moving." Some scholars believe that Li has strong administrative organization ability and is conscientious in handling government affairs. Li is good at understanding Xuanzong's political intentions and can carry out the principles and policies formulated by Xuanzong. Because of this, Li became a suitable candidate for Xuanzong to take the place of Xuanzong for two years. Many scholars not only criticized Li's behavior and evil deeds, but also saw his positive role in Xuanzong period. Lee is really a controlling and secretive villain. But at the same time, he is a pragmatic politician, a shrewd administrative official and a system expert. In dealing with political affairs, we should be "too cautious in everything, organize public affairs and increase discipline". They believe that Li participated in many important and valuable reforms in Xuanzong period, among which the most representative ones were tax reform and code revision. He assisted Xuanzong in taking a series of measures in finance, military affairs, politics, elections and legal system. During the reign of Li, the imperial court won brilliant victories in foreign wars, and the economy of the Tang Dynasty developed greatly, and the Tang Dynasty reached its heyday. Due to the change of government system, Li ruled the imperial court more comprehensively than Yao Chong and others.
From this point of view, Li was indeed a master of duplicity in the political arena of the Tang Dynasty, but he was also a veteran of sex in politics. His long-term ruling is the need of Xuanzong and the politics of the middle Tang Dynasty.
English translation of [Back to Directory] 1 Sweet words and daggers are heard; Hypocritical and vicious
2. Honey in the mouth, murder in the heart; Judas kiss
Look coldly at Honey Mouth Sword [back to the catalogue], Honey Mouth Sword and Kicking off the Bridge to express the cruelty and ruthlessness of human feelings.
Believe in one sentence: "Leadership is affectionate and management is ruthless."
We may need a more reasonable position to treat the "lip-covering sword". As we all know, "honey sword" is a very lethal word. Anyone who is labeled as a "sweet sword" will be hated. Therefore, how to evaluate whether others are "full of honey-bellied swords" and how to deal with "full of honey-bellied swords" are skills that everyone who works hard in the workplace needs to learn.
On the judgment of "a sword with honey in its mouth and a sword in its belly"
When judging a "honeyed-mouthed sword", we should uphold a fair heart and not draw conclusions easily. At work, it is inevitable that leaders or colleagues will explain some things to themselves, try their best to convince themselves to do their best to complete the task, and at the same time make some promises. After taking over the task, you go all out in your work and carry it out according to the pre-planned ideas. After "calling it a day", I waited with anticipation for the promise I had made. At this time, I found that the leader or colleague "changed his mind" and the original promise was "draw water with a sieve". This is tolerable and intolerable. So he trumpeted that he had met a "duplicity sword" and regarded the behavior of leaders or colleagues as a despicable act of "kicking down the bridge", and since then he has held a grudge or become a stranger. How to treat this problem? First of all, if you calm down and think twice, you can often make a more rational evaluation: if the "process" of your work is really impeccable, does the "result" of your work meet the requirements of the other party and does the "result" satisfy the other party? This should be the crux of the problem. If you work really hard and your performance reaches or even exceeds the expected effect, but the other party doesn't recognize it, and even makes the job requirements "go with the flow" without any foundation. This is really an abominable "kick down the ladder" behavior. At this time, you should take positive measures, or communicate, or solve conflicts in other ways.
On the contrary, although a person's work process is down-to-earth, but the result is not ideal, and even the situation has a tendency of "retrogression", which is counterproductive. At this time, we need to know each other's practices. Although the "result" is not what you want, you should not shirk yourself cleanly, but should bear the corresponding responsibility for it. If you still insist on asking the other party to fulfill its promise, or regard it as an enemy, it may seem unreasonable.
Therefore, the key to judging whether others are "lip service" is to distinguish whether their efforts are "helping the better" or "helping the more busy".
Honesty and frankness are the basis to avoid encountering "falsehood and hypocrisy"
Of course, there will be a "sweet sword" in the end. The way to avoid encountering the "honey-mouthed sword" is honesty, frankness and keen ability to distinguish right from wrong. As Cervantes said, "Watch your mouth, flies can't fly in." No matter how "convincing" others and how "magical" they use, I will never move. I believe that anyone who is "full of honey" can't help it.
