The essence of the whole movie lies in the few words of advice given by Bao Longxing's father before his death:
Good people must be more treacherous than bad people, otherwise they cannot deal with these bad people.
In order to save Bao Longxing, Dad did three things:
1. A copy of the secret book of Qingtian was given, implying the formal knowledge of the academic school;
2. Give a piece of cake as a token and let him go to the capital to find acquaintances of high officials;
3. Arrange Ruhua to borrow seeds to save Bao Longxing.
Among these three things, the third thing is abnormal, illegal and non-compliant, and treacherous means.
But it is also the fastest and the best.
And the secret of Qingtian was directly burned by the brothel's prostitute, and it didn't play any role from beginning to end.
The acquaintances back then had the opposite effect, almost killing Bao Longxing Bao Youwei.
Dad's own actions have a deep metaphor:
It is useful to go through the back door and cheat,
The formal knowledge of the academic school and the life-saving grace of serious connections are useless.
Bao Longxing finally succeeded because of three things:
1. Acrobatics learned in acrobatics class;
2. Curse skills learned in brothels;
3. The personal connections he met in the brothel, and he was the highest ruler, the Tongzhi Emperor.
To be honest, the scene where the secret of Qingtian was burned directly was the most shocking thing about watching a movie when I was a child.
At that time, I was busy with school, and the TV station only showed the top part. When I saw that the secret book of Qingtian was burned, I was urged by my parents to go to school.
In the second half, how Bao Longxing defeated the bad guys, I didn't see it at all, I was very anxious, the most important secrets were gone, how to cultivate in the future?
When I got to school, my classmates who had seen the movie explained it vividly, saying that it was because of the swearing skills he learned in the brothel and his acquaintance with the emperor that the case was reopened.
Later, when I saw the replay on TV by chance, I understood the whole story.
Looking back now, the director deliberately arranged for the burning of Qingtian's secret book and Bao Longxing's brothel to study art, which may have been a metaphor.
That is:
Academic orthodoxy is often useless and does not help solve practical problems;
To solve practical problems, we still have to rely on the methods of rogues in the market and three teachings.
A large part of the scolding skills that Bao Longxing has learned is also based on rogues, completely shameless, scolding himself to the lowest level, and then using this to insult the other party viciously.
For example this sentence:
You don't need to make trouble, I'll expose myself. My father died when I was three years old, my father died when I was four years old, my father died when I was five, six, seven or eight years old, I seduced a man when I was ten, seduced a man when I was eleven, and your man was also seduced by me.
Then there is the vocabulary of the swear words:
You have a lemon head, mouse eyes, eagle nose, splayed eyebrows, old Qiang teeth, big mouth, sunflower ears, wick neck, high and low arms, long and short feet, chicken breast, dog belly, and rice bucket waist. Intersex sucks ass.
Coupled with the fast speed of speech, it forms an imposing manner.
But this kind of rogue trick on the street is at best a trail, and it can't be on the stage.
What makes Bao Longxing more powerful than the three aunts and six grandmothers is that he scolds people for paying attention to logic and morality.
And Sister Pomegranate can only speak quickly and rudely, without the support of logic and morality, it is easy to be choked.
For example, when Sister Pomegranate saw Bao Longxing bubble like smoke, she came up and asked:
You eat me, live with me, pull me, sleep with me, and soak my girl, are you human?
Bao Longxing did not explain that he was a good person, but responded with a strategy of empathy:
It was she who said that it was too hard to cook chickens, and she was not interested in doing it. I just comforted her. You are also a chicken, or an old hen, have you ever felt empty and lonely, cold?
Having said that, the prostitute also thinks it makes sense, but he is still stubborn, and it's none of your business.
Bao Longxing replied:
none of my business? I work in a brothel. Of course, I also hope that the hen will be healthy. She is in a bad mood, so she will neglect the guests. The guests will get angry. When they are angry, they will not come. If they don’t come, they will close the door. ?
The quarrel strategy here belongs to the "slippery slope fallacy".
That is to say, a small thing is constantly deduced and slipped, forming a wrong causal relationship, and it seems that it is very reasonable and reasonable.
For example, in the company, if someone makes things difficult for you and makes trouble for nothing, you can attack him with the slippery slope fallacy:
You can make things difficult for me today, you can make things difficult for other colleagues tomorrow, you can make things difficult for managers the day after tomorrow, and if things go on like this, you can even make things difficult for the chairman of the company one day. You make trouble in the team and make things difficult for you everywhere. If you condone this behavior, what will the team atmosphere of our company be like? What will the company's corporate culture look like? Aren't you the black sheep, the cancer of the team?
When quarreling with Li Lianying, Bao Longxing used the method of snapping hats, using bigger excuses to press people, and grabbing the moral high ground.
Eunuch Li: You are such a powerful official, Mr. Bao. If you are allowed to serve as an official for another two years, I am afraid that you will not even pay attention to Lafayette.
Bao Longxing: Of course I don't take it seriously. Lafayette should be respected in his heart. Talking about it all day long like you can only degrade her identity.
Your mother has worked hard to raise you. If you go to be a eunuch, you are not filial; if you don’t respect Lafayette, you are not faithful; you disloyal and unfilial dead shemale, what are you doing sitting here?
Here, Bao Longxing is a typical rake.
Li Lianying's favorite is to use Lafayette to oppress people, and Bao Longxing in turn uses Lafayette to oppress Li Lianying, and makes the other party speechless.
In reality, if someone picks on your work, you can also use this trick to attack directly:
I can criticize me, but I am the person under the command of President X. Only he can criticize and correct my work. You are pointing fingers at my work. Where do you put President X? Are you trying to replace X's overall job? The company's reporting lines and various business processes are pre-determined, and are arranged by President XX. If you are acting like this, you respect President XX, and do you mean to respect President X? What's your peace of mind?
The slippery slope fallacy, plus finding the most reasonable and unquestionable reason to oppress people, this is the best dialogue strategy.
Finally, let's talk about people.
There are three connections here:
1. The life-saving grace is not grace, but may be hatred;
2. The handle is the grace.
3. Decision makers are useful, non-decision makers are useless.
There are two personal connections mentioned in the play.
One is the Minister of Punishment,
One is the emperor.
Bao Longxing's father had a life-saving grace to the Minister of Punishment, but the Minister of Punishment did not agree with this at all, at most he will pay you dozens of cakes.
This is not bad. It is recorded in history that Chen Sheng, who should never forget Gou, wealth, and honor, went to rely on him after he became a king, but he killed him instead.
On the contrary, Emperor Tongzhi, who went out to go to prostitutes together and was caught in the scandal, agreed to Bao Longxing's request without refusing.
He could agree to this matter obviously not because he really cares about any grievances, but because he has the handle in Bao Longxing's hands.
As the highest decision-maker, the emperor's words are naturally more useful than the Minister of War.
Basically, that's the main thing.
