What the hell?
Zhao Zhen wants to deal with me?
This is different from what I originally thought.
Zhao Jun was confused.
Even though he is of such high importance, why is the other party still so unfriendly?
Isn't Zhao Zhen afraid of offending himself and not helping him strengthen the country in the future?
Or maybe I was wrong from the beginning?
I overestimated Zhao Zhen.
The people in Da Song were completely rotten to the core and had no intention of escaping their fate.
Regardless of whether the Song Dynasty will perish in the future, just start ruining it?
Now because he insulted Zhao Zhen and his father and grandfather, he decided to break the pot and prepare to deal with himself first to vent his anger?
In an instant, countless thoughts went through Zhao Jun's mind. The changes in his thoughts made him frown involuntarily, and then glanced at Yan Shu next to him.
I saw Yan Shu's face was anxious and he was winking at Zhao Zhen, as if he was telling him not to push too hard.
understood.
Zhao Jun suddenly understood.
Zhao Zhen is a guy who can't stand up to the wall with mud.
Rather, he wanted to give himself authority so as to establish his prestige and status in front of him in the future!
In other words, he had insulted him too many times before, and because of it so far, Zhao Zhen was probably holding a fire in his heart that he wanted to release here.
really.
The emperors in feudal society were all tigers who could eat people without blinking an eye.
Even Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, who had a weak personality, only pretended to not eat meat, but he was still a tiger in essence.
It seems that I can't be kind today.
After figuring this out, Zhao Jun's highly intelligent brain started working quickly.
The reason why I didn't realize that this was the Song Dynasty before was because I had a huge cognitive barrier. No one would believe that they had traveled through time without being able to see.
But after breaking through this barrier, many things can be figured out, and the brain becomes more flexible and full of wisdom.
The current situation is that I don't want to be like others and be a dog to Zhao Zhen.
Not only do I have to stand still, but I also want to make money. I have robbed him of the power of Old Zhao. Maybe I can usurp the throne and be the master of the country in the future.
And Zhao Zhen thought he could tame himself and made his posture too high, which was obviously a bit without self-awareness.
It would not be good to just contradict him immediately.
No matter how soft Zhao Zhen's character is, the emperor is the emperor after all. If he is directly criticized so that he can't get off the stage, then there will be big problems, and life will not be easy in the future.
It may even result in him being unable to gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty in the future.
The feudal era was still a feudal era after all. Fortunately, it was the Song Dynasty instead of the early Ming Dynasty. If it had been Zhu Yuanzhang, he would have been chopped long ago.
However, it is not easy to pass this level.
You must use clever ways to survive this crisis and get what you want smoothly.
Zhao Jun felt that his mind was extremely clear at this time, and he quickly thought of three countermeasures.
'From the perspective of the easiest way to achieve cooperation, as well as the probability of success and the degree of risk, there are three strategies: upper, middle and lower. '
'The best policy is to be submissive. Zhao Zhen's character is kind-hearted at best, but soft-hearted at worst. If you say a few flattering words, the matter should be over. '
'Then the plot developed normally. After I kowtowed and apologized, Zhao Zhen, in order to show his tolerance and generosity, waved his hand and said that it was all a trivial matter, and then began to arrange my life. '
'Zhong Ce is just pretending to be stupid, not saying those flattering words, pretending not to understand what he is talking about, and then putting on a little show and finding a way to fool him, it shouldn't be a big problem. '
'It's just that if you do this, it may not be possible to use simple methods to fool him. You have to think of a foolproof strategy that can neither offend him nor be too flattering. '
'The next best thing to do is to be tough and fight them to the end, even verbally insulting Zhao Zhen and spraying him with blood. '
'It's just that the last move was too disrespectful to Zhao Zhen. It would be of no benefit to my current situation to break up the relationship. If Zhao Zhen becomes angry and simply disposes of me, that would be dangerous. '
'So we must have the best of both worlds, neither too low-profile nor too arrogant. '
'The best strategy will undoubtedly have the highest success rate. As long as you follow Yan Song's example of being a dog licker and make Zhao Zhen feel comfortable, you may not be able to become a high-ranking official in the future, become a master in the Song Dynasty, and enjoy a different kind of life. '
'The only problem is that I put myself too low. '
'Furthermore, I have degraded the Song Dynasty enough during this period. If I kneel down and surrender now, wouldn't it mean that I am a weakling with no eggs? Who will think highly of me then? Even if I wanted to be a dog for them, I probably wouldn't have much dignity. '
"Also, I myself belittled the weakness of the Song Dynasty, but after traveling to the Song Dynasty, I became weak first. Isn't that too much of a double standard? If you can't be strict with yourself, why should you be strict with others?'
'No, I can't look down on myself. Even if I don't have dignity, I can never kneel down and kowtow. "
"Then hit the target first, then reject the best option. You must have integrity. Even if you die standing, you can't live on your knees. The lower option is too risky, and it is easy for Zhao Zhen to be unable to come to power, and the relationship will be too tense. It's better to rely on the middle option. Spectrum.'
'So. '
'How should I fool it? '
Zhao Jun gradually had an idea in his mind.
The room was still silent at this moment.
No one spoke.
Zhao Jun seemed to be frightened by Zhao Zhen, standing still.
But in just a few dozen seconds, countless thoughts and thoughts flashed through his mind.
After a while, I saw him slowly raising his head and saying with a puzzled look on his face: "Ancestor, I don't understand why you asked me this?"
"I know what you said before."
Zhao Zhen's face dropped.
He remembered a series of words that Zhao Jun had used to insult him before, which made him itch with hatred.
There was no way to refute or defend at that time.
But now, Zhao Zhen finally has the pleasure of being an emperor again and having the power of life and death.
He wanted to teach Zhao Jun a lesson.
Didn't the joy of looking forward to Zhao Jun's eyes and imagining himself when he saw himself suddenly arise at this moment?
However, what Zhao Zhen and others did not expect was that they originally thought that Zhao Jun would be in awe when he saw the officials of the Song Dynasty, so he would bow down and become a minion of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
But at this moment, he still had a very strenuous expression, spread his hands and said, "I think you misunderstood, ancestor. I didn't scold you at the beginning."
Secret Technique - The Four Steps to Fool People Phase 1: We claim that nothing happened!
This sentence directly made Zhao Zhen and many ministers open their mouths.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
Over the past two months, he had vividly remembered every word Zhao Jun scolded him, but now the other party actually refused to admit it at all!
Do you really think they are deaf or have amnesia?
Zhao Zhen's face was already dark, as if ink had been splashed on it, and even Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others frowned.
It seems a bit irresponsible to shirk responsibility so shamelessly.
Prime Minister Wang Sui couldn't help but said: "Zhao Jun, we have not forgotten your dirty words until now. How can you deny it?"
"wrong."
Zhao Jun shook his head: "I am not denying it, but telling the truth. I want to ask my ancestors, are you the real you now, or the you in history?"
Zhao Zhen said nothing with a dark face and stared at him with an unkind expression.
Yan Shu hurriedly came to the rescue and said, "Is there any difference here?"
"A big difference."
Zhao Jun immediately answered: "If the you now are the you in history, then I am right to scold you. Because you in history are indeed so unbearable. Then, I want to ask another question, you now , do you still want to continue to be you in history? If you want, you can, I will let you do whatever you want!"
Me in history and me now?
Zhao Zhen was confused for a moment, feeling that the logic here seemed a bit unclear, but he finally figured it out after a while and asked tentatively: "You mean, you are scolding me in history, not now." My?"
"Exactly!"
Zhao Jun nodded and said: "In history, if you didn't do anything, you should be scolded. But now you are still young, and you clearly have a vast world to display. Whether you will be scolded in the future is a matter of the future, and it has nothing to do with the present. What? So maybe you are being scolded now, but you shouldn’t blame me, because the real you are not scolded."
Stage Two of the Four Steps to Fool People: Something may happen, but no action should be taken.
"is that so?"
Zhao Zhen was confused again. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
Everyone looks at me and I look at you.
What Zhao Jun said seemed to make sense, but they were speechless.
"No, no."
Zhao Zhen shook his head quickly, getting rid of the thought of forgiving Zhao Jun from his mind, and said firmly: "There must be something wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Jun didn't give Zhao Zhen time to think, and said, "Isn't this reality?"
"The me in history is also me, but it hasn't happened yet. In other words, you actually still scolded me!"
Zhao Zhen thought he figured it out.
However, Zhao Jun smiled and said: "This has something to do with dialectical thinking. So I want to ask, if you die soon, do you have a future? If the future is gone, what does it have to do with you? "
"Zhao Jun, stop talking nonsense!"
"It's too rebellious."
"Quiet!"
Everyone quickly stopped, how could you say such nonsense?
"I'm not talking nonsense, it's just a hypothesis. When thinking about problems, coming up with more bold assumptions is the way to solve the problem."
Zhao Jun frowned and said, "Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
"Forehead"
Everyone looked at each other, and what they said seemed to make sense.
Zhao Jun shook his head: "That's the bad thing about feudal society. Everything is taboo, but we don't know that the West can promote social change. Only by breaking this restriction and allowing people to think and brainstorm wildly can the industrial revolution occur!"
"Okay, I don't blame you for this, let me think about it."
Zhao Zhen stopped them from fighting, thought hard, and after a moment, said: "What you said does make sense, but you still said a lot of insults in front of me, and I feel unwilling to do so."
"Maybe I shouldn't have been so outspoken at the beginning, but I can't take it back now."
Zhao Jun shrugged and said: "But I still have to ask my ancestors to make one thing clear. The name is just a code name. You can be called Zhao Zhen, and future generations can also be called Zhao Zhen. If you make changes now, then the historical Song Renzong Zhao Zhen It would not be the current Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen, the world has become different, and people should change in time."
The third stage of the four-step method of fooling people: Maybe we should take action, but nothing can be done, so we still have to follow the trend of the times.
"You mean to let me go?"
Zhao Zhen still had an unkind expression on his face. It was too frustrating to just laugh it off after suffering so much.
"Then what can we do? Maybe you should have told me the truth in the first place, but now it's too late."
Zhao Jun said: "Leave aside the fact that I insulted you, aren't you at fault? If I had known the truth earlier, things would certainly not have ended up like this."
Stage 4 of the Four Steps to Fooling People: Maybe we could have done something, but now it’s too late.
Zhao Zhen laughed angrily and said, "You scolded me and my father. Yeah, all the ancestors of the Zhao family and all the ministers in the dynasty. In the end, it was my fault?"
"What if?"
Zhao Jun argued: "Since things have happened, they cannot be changed. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, what can I do? All I can tell you is that Song Renzong in history should be scolded, so you want to make history The Song Renzong who was scolded in the media, or you can change yourself and become a different Song Renzong, it’s all up to you!”
These words made everyone think.
Because they found that what Zhao Jun said seemed to be right, and it was so reasonable that they were speechless.
Zhao Zhen in history was scolded, what does it have to do with Zhao Zhen now?
If you change the present, don't you change history?
but..
The problem is that it's still not right.
Isn’t it that what we are discussing is about Zhao Jun’s constant filthy words and insults to officials?
Why is it different from the official family in history and now?
Lu Yijian was worthy of being a prime minister. He had a high IQ. He saw through Zhao Jun's tricks at a glance and said with a smile: "You boy, you are really born to be an official. You have learned all the tricks in the officialdom. But you are sophistry. , what the official cares about is not that you insulted him, but that you insulted him once, and now you are in front of the official, can't you say something nice to make the official happy?"
Zhao Zhen was angry and laughing. He couldn't help but stand up. He walked up to Zhao Jun and kicked him lightly, saying: "It turns out that you want to fool him. Fortunately, Mr. Lu is wise, otherwise I would have let you fool me." Yes. My husband is right, can you please give me some soft words and say a few nice words?"
Subdued?
"No, absolutely not!"
After hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Zhao Jun's voice became much more serious.
He carefully patted the footprints left by Zhao Zhen when he just kicked him, raised his head, stiffened his neck and looked at Zhao Zhen and said: "Let me kowtow to you. After all, you are also my ancestor. We still have yours in the village ancestral hall." Spiritual position, but if you ask me to flatter you and say a few nice words to you and this trash Song Dynasty, in exchange for living an ignoble existence, that won’t work, people must have backbone!”
"Um?"
Zhao Zhen's face also became serious, staring at Zhao Jun with an unkind expression.
He said trash the Song Dynasty again?
The two people stared at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became uncomfortable.
At first, Zhao Jun wanted to pretend to be stupid and get through.
But now that his thoughts have been clarified by Lu Yijian and exposed, it's no wonder that he straightened his back and became too soft to be hard.
