Xiao Han is actually very good at dealing with some old people.
Otherwise, he would not have attracted Sun Simiao, Old Man Hua and others to his side and would never leave him. Even the elders of the three dynasties who looked down on the situation would have been protective of him.
To put it simply, in front of these old people who are knowledgeable about the world, Xiao Han's secret is just one: act as he pleases!
When in contact with these old people, he can be flattering, but not too much! You can be dull, but you won’t be stupid!
When you need to bend, you must bend, and when you need to be strong, you must be strong!
Blind cowardice and blind flattery can only make these wise old people feel disgusted.
But if you continue to be blunt and ignorant of worldly affairs, you will only make people dislike you!
It just so happens that Xiao Han's natural personality has this kind of weirdness.
Would you say he is shameless? A little bit! But it depends on where.
He can show no shame in trivial matters. But if it comes to some principled matters, it is estimated that even some upright gentlemen will be far from reaching his level!
But it would be wrong to say that he is upright.
Good guy, he can make people laugh when he shows up with a bad temper. As for the things he does in daily life, he often makes people laugh.
But with such a playful and scolding character, he was always unfavorable when dealing with those old people. Even Yan Zhitui fell in love with this kid after coming into contact with him.
Perhaps, compared to those children who always want to express themselves in front of Yan Zhitui, or who always deliberately attract his attention, people like Xiao Han give Yan Zhitui a special sense of reality.
——————
The room of the Academy Chief.
Yan Zhitui sat on a seat covered with thick brocade, sipping the fragrant tea while looking at Xiao Han opposite him.
"Master Yan, why do you always look at me?"
Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by Yan Zhidui, Xiao Han twisted his body and asked in confusion.
"Boy!"
Hearing Xiao Han's question, Yan Zhitui put down the tea bowl and suddenly said, "I'm suddenly thinking: Are you doing it intentionally when you act wantonly in the court these days?"
"Ahem, how could it be?" Xiao Han was stunned when he heard this, immediately coughed, and opened his mouth to deny: "Master Yan is joking? If I had done it intentionally, I wouldn't be in this situation now."
"Haha... You brat, you are dishonest!" Yan Zhitui looked at Xiao Han's expression and smiled: "Then let me guess, have you been in the army for a long time and feel tired of the people in the court? You were intrigued and wanted to get out, so when the army returned, you started making mistakes on purpose, hoping you could find a way out of that muddy water?"
"Well……"
"As for returning to the court and provoking Hou Junji again and again, firstly, because of Li Jing, you do have resentment towards Hou Junji and want to beat him up and vent your anger! Secondly, you want to pass Beat Hou Junji to let others know that you are not to be messed with and should not mess with you easily. The third is to use this incident to accumulate the mistakes made before and find a way to kick yourself out of the court completely so that you can Be an idle prince."
"..."
"However, you didn't expect that His Majesty did not cooperate with you as before! In addition, Hou Junji and others counterattacked beyond your expectation, so now even the new Fire Guards you formed may fall into the hands of others. Hand! So this is the point where you miscalculated and the point that makes you sad, right?"
Yan Zhitui talked about the speculation in his heart bit by bit, and Xiao Han's surprise and shock at the beginning slowly turned into silence, and finally turned into a bitter smile.
"How did the old gentleman guess it?" After a while, Xiao Han raised his head and asked bitterly.
Yan Zhitui picked up the tea cup, blew on the rising hot air, and said slowly: "Haha, because there was a person before who asked me how to gain a foothold in the court! And what you are doing now is very similar to him! "
"Who is that person?" Although Xiao Han already had the answer in his heart at this time, he couldn't help but ask.
"Cheng Yaojin." Yan Zhitui blinked and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Cheng Yaojin once asked Master Yan for advice!" Hearing this expected answer, Xiao Han took a deep breath, and then he suddenly remembered: The Cheng family is also a wealthy family in Shandong, and the other members of the same Shandong clan The Yan family is probably related to relatives! Then, all this can be explained!
Under the guidance of Yan Zhitui, Cheng Yaojin became a demon king in the eyes of the world. He thought his method was good and followed him to learn from him. Now that he met Yan Zhitui, wouldn't this be a real trick?
"I gave Cheng Yaojin four words to retaliate! I didn't expect that you were also learning from him, but what you learned was wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Han was completely convinced by Yan Zhitui at this time, and couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
Yan Zhitui looked at Xiao Han with a smile until his face turned red, and then he said meaningfully: "Because you are different from Cheng Yaojin!
Cheng Yaojin only wants to live a life of military service and wealth! This idea is bound to not cause much conflict with others, so even if there is a small conflict, others will be afraid that he is a fool, so they will tolerate it and retreat! As for you..."
Speaking of this, Yan Zhitui paused, pointed at the academy, and said slowly: "You are not a peaceful person, let alone a person who is content with the status quo! Even if I just met you, I can see that you are The requirements and ideas are destined to run counter to many things and many people. This is a contradiction that cannot be reconciled at all!
So if you continue to learn Cheng Yaojin, you will only make more mistakes as you learn! Because those people won't tolerate you like they tolerate Cheng Yaojin!
Because of interests, rights, ideas and other things, once you have a conflict, no matter how difficult you act, they will only bite the bullet and target you until the conflict is completely aroused and one party is completely defeated! "
"So, what Master Yan means is that I should complain with virtue?" Xiao Han was silent for a moment, and his tone became colder. He thought that this was Yan Zhitui trying to persuade him to compromise, and there was absolutely no way he could accept this. .
"Repaying evil with kindness? How to repay kindness?" Yan Zhidui asked with a smile.
"Repay kindness with kindness, repay grievance with kindness? But just now you said, I can't learn to repay grievance with kindness?" Xiao Han raised his head in astonishment and looked at Yan Zitui, not understanding what he wanted from him.
"Idiot!" Yan Zhitui was angry, stretched out his hand and slapped Xiao Han hard on the head twice.
Xiao Han shrank his neck, looked at him in surprise and said, "Master Yan, are you asking me to find you at two o'clock in the evening?"
"Looking for me at two o'clock in the evening? I won't let Ah Fu break your legs!" Yan Zhi rolled his eyes and angrily said: "I'm trying to enlighten you with these two slaps. Is there only one way in this world? You can't think Think of another way?"
