Li Mu fell silent knowingly. He had been trying to keep a low profile recently because he had already taken advantage of him in previous matters. In his previous life, when Li Mu was reading miscellaneous books, he saw an unknown foreign psychologist.
The research is called the 'Code of Balance'.
There are several examples among them, which are very vivid.
For example, let's say we work in the same company, have the same position, have the same income, and have a good relationship, so we can be considered friends. Suddenly one day, one of us gets a raise of 200 yuan. Logically speaking, we are friends and we should be happy for each other.
yes.
But this psychologist concluded from research that there is no such thing as happiness, but jealousy can account for 90% of it. Even if you don’t say it with your mouth, you will do it subtly in your behavior. His colleagues will have a thought in their minds.
Subliminal signal, why is this guy the only one who gets a raise? I’m no worse than him! But it’s such a small thing and it’s not easy to show off, so what will happen?
Colleagues will unconsciously take advantage of him. Even if they take a pen from him or ask him to work overtime, he will feel better. You earn more than me, so you deserve this loss.
The boss will subconsciously assign more work to this person because he feels that, among all people, I gave you a salary increase. This is a benefit I gave you. You have received more benefits and should work more.
Some jobs that others are unwilling to do can only be done by you. Who makes others not get a raise?
In this incident, the colleagues and boss of the "lucky" person who got a salary increase selectively avoided one fact. That is, why did this person get a salary increase?
From the boss's point of view, if this person has not made more contributions than others, as a boss, will you give him a salary increase? As a colleague, if you don't work as hard as others, and your salary is less than others, what's the point?
Jealous?
In other words, this person's salary increase is a result of the extra hard work he has put in. There is nothing unfair at all, and it does not involve any favors owed to anyone.
But in reality, he will be treated harshly in two ways.
This is human nature. Most human beings will not consider whether it is fair or not, and will not choose to admit their own shortcomings. Instead, they will choose to use a 'balanced' approach to find ways to reduce the advantages of others and make up for their own shortcomings.
the losses caused.
Li Mu is now the one who got a salary increase. Now not only the nobles and nobles look down on him, but even Li Shimin will feel that I support you so much and favor you so much. How can you be worthy of me if you don't do your best for me?
He would not have thought that after the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the biggest beneficiary would actually be himself.
And because Li Mu had read the psychologist's article, he already had this concept in his mind and knew what would happen, so he chose to keep a low profile. Don't cause trouble, don't stand out, and it's best if no one remembers me. To use a game from a previous life
In terminology, it means 'hold steady and don't make waves'. Only by holding steady and not making waves can you achieve the final victory. This is the case in the game, and the same is true in reality.
However, there is another uncertainty about human nature, which is that you want to be steady and stop wandering, but others don’t think so.
Li Mu had become silent and had given up, but Li Shimin did not want to let him go. He asked Li Mu to follow him for a purpose, otherwise would he have nothing to do?
"but……"
It’s over!
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat. This sentence of 'but' can be said to be very spiritual. I said before that I was not needed, but after the sentence of 'but', it was still needed. Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin, squeezed out a smile and said: "Your Majesty wants to
If you want me to do something, you might as well say it directly."
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed to be told that his thoughts were exposed, but his face may have reached the 'Mahayana stage'. It was as thick as the walls of Chang'an City. Li Mu's attack power could not break his defense. He coughed lightly.
, said: "As you said, I really want to work for my father. I can handle it when the Lord of Gaochang comes to see me, but if you think about it, my father is still here and I am not the only one to enjoy the honor."
It's too appropriate. So I plan to ask my father to come forward and meet this Ju Wentai for a formality."
Li Mu asked doubtfully: "If this is just the case, I think the Supreme Emperor will agree to His Majesty's request. I won't need you, right?"
"Alas!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "Isn't it because of Ke Ming?"
"Du Gong?" Li Mu thought to himself, Du Ruhui is already dead, what else can be done because of him?
"Father hates Keming."
"Oh..." Li Mu understood a little bit.
Du Ruhui, as Li Shimin's counselor and the main planner of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, was tantamount to one of the culprits who killed his eldest son in Li Yuan's eyes. In recent days, Li Shimin had given him generous gifts, which was a great honor for Li Yuan.
If you know it, you will definitely feel unhappy.
Elderly people have the character of children. You have made me unhappy. Everything you say is wrong. It is not unreasonable for Li Shimin to be worried.
"I understand, I'll take care of it." Li Mu actively came up with the idea and said, "When we get to the heaven and earth, your Majesty will take the initiative to play mahjong. When the mahjong game begins, your Majesty will pay attention to my hands. I put my left hand on the table.
Your Majesty, your Majesty will play the tube. When you put it on the table, your Majesty will play ten thousand words. Make it into a fist and your Majesty will play the note. If you grab a mahjong in your hand, your majesty will play the wind tile."
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and asked blankly: "What is this for?"
"Give the Emperor a shot!"
"ah?"
"If you make the Supreme Emperor happy, won't things be settled?"
Li Shimin was furious: "I am the emperor, how can I do such a flattering thing? Is this the only idea you have? Ridiculous! I won't do it!"
half an hour later
Li Shimin drew out a three-ticket card and was about to play it out when he suddenly saw Li Mu's left hand clenched into a fist. He hurriedly put it down and drew out a fifty thousand card and struck out: "Fifty thousand!"
"Haha, what a fool! I've been foolish again!" Li Yuan grabbed the 50,000 yuan that Li Shimin had played with his hands. As if he was afraid that he would cheat, he smiled broadly and said, "Shimin, you are not very lucky today.
Just now I saw that two fifty thousand dollars were sent out, and I thought they were gone, but I didn’t expect that the last one was also waiting for me. They are all right, give me money, give me money!"
Li Shimin gave a bitter smile, lowered his head and wanted to get the money, but found that the capital of fifty taels was already gone, so he had to beg: "Father, my son has lost all his money, can I owe it first?"
"What bastard words are you talking about!" Li Yuan immediately became angry and slapped the table and said: "I owe you? You told me that you owe me something about being willing to accept defeat? Li Shimin, do you know what the word 'faith' means? Emperor
How did you do that!"
Li Shimin was helpless and suddenly saw a silver ingot left in front of Li Mu. He reached out and took it and handed it to Li Yuan.
Li Mu gave up and said: "Your Majesty, there is no father and son at the gambling table. Even though you are Your Majesty, you cannot rob me of my capital. I also lost less today. I only have these ten taels of silver left of my fifty taels. You
Take it, me, what should I do?"
Li Shimin and Li Yuan didn't dare to get angry, and they didn't care about Li Mu. They immediately scolded: "Aren't you in charge of my internal money? Just treat it as if I lend you ten guan of money and you can keep the accounts."
"This is wrong, one code is one code..."
The two started arguing, but Li Yuan ignored them. He took the silver ingot, retrieved two taels of silver, and threw it over, saying: "You two have lost everything. You don't want to play any more. Get out."
Hearing this, Li Shimin quickly winked at Li Mu. Li Mu put away the two taels of silver, cleared his throat, and said: "Um...the Supreme Emperor, I have something to ask of you, old man."
Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin and said, "I knew you two wouldn't come to play mahjong with me, an old man, for no reason, and take turns lighting cannons. Do you think I'm an old fool and can't tell?"
"How could that be possible?" Li Mu quickly put on a smile and said, "Isn't this all for the happiness of the Supreme Emperor? Your eyes are so bright, how can I and His Majesty's little thoughts be hidden from your eyes?"
"You know the truth!" Li Yuan snorted. Although his expression didn't soften, he could see that it was extremely useful. He thought about it and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Father, Ju Wentai, the leader of the Gaochang Kingdom, will come to see you tomorrow. My son feels that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty today is inseparable from the achievements of the father. The son does not dare to enjoy the honor alone, so he wants to ask the father to come forward and accept the Gaochang Kingdom.
Worship of the Lord.”
Li Mu hurriedly slipped out of the way and said: "Yes, yes, the Supreme Emperor saved all the people from the fire and water. His achievements are of great significance. The Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty can't match them. He should enjoy the honor of all nations coming to court. The Supreme Emperor, I think I can see it, but I can see it."
ah!"
"It's better to exempt me!" Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. Now that I have abdicated, I am not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I receive this honor?"
"Father..."
Li Shimin wanted to persuade him again, but Li Yuan said again: "I won't go to Liangyi Palace, but after the court meeting, there will be a banquet. You arrange the banquet in heaven and earth, and I will meet that Ju Wentai here."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, calculating the gains and losses in his mind. Li Mu quickly winked at him, and Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what the father said."
"Oh, this is really the best of both worlds!" Li Mu quickly flattered him and said: "Your Majesty, look at it, neither of us, the monarch and his ministers, have thought of such a good solution. It must be the Supreme Emperor who is strong and quick in thinking.
, seriously”
"You can do it now. I don't want to be flattered by you. Is everything okay? If nothing happens, get out! You Rong, let's see the guest off!"
Li Yourong responded and led the two of them downstairs. It took four people to play mahjong, so she also chipped in.
Li Shimin suddenly remembered something and said: "Yourong, I have something to tell you. I have issued a decree to establish the governor's offices of Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and appoint your governor.
My uncle is the governor of Shunzhou, and he will come to Chang'an soon to express his gratitude, so you will be able to meet him soon."
"Ah?" Li Yourong subconsciously spoke. Li Shimin frowned and said, "Why, you are about to see your uncle. Aren't you happy?"
Li Yourong quickly shook his head and said, "I am so happy. I thought I would never see my uncle again in this life, but suddenly I was shocked when I heard His Majesty say this." After saying that, Li Yourong bowed and said, "Yes.
I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my uncle."
Li Shimin did not doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "This is the reward Tuli deserves, no need to say thank you."
Li Yourong walked the two of them to the door and watched them leave, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
