Chapter 332 Balance Rules
Li Mu was conscious and kept silent. He has been trying to keep a low profile recently. Because he had already taken a lot of advantage in previous events. When Li Mu was reading miscellaneous books in his previous life, he saw the research of a foreign psychologist called the "Balance Code".
There are several examples, very vivid.
For example, if you work in a company, you have a comparable position, a fair income, and a good relationship, you are considered friends. Suddenly one day, one person has a salary increase of 200 yuan. Logically speaking, everyone is friends, so you should be happy for the other party.
But this psychologist concluded that there is no happiness, but jealousy can account for 90%. Even if he doesn't say it, he is doing it subtly. His colleagues have a subconscious signal in their minds. Why is this guy the only salary increase? I am not worse than him! But this little thing is difficult to show off, so what will happen?
Colleagues will unconsciously take advantage of him. Even if they take a pen or ask him to work overtime, they will feel a little more comfortable. You make more money than me, and you deserve this loss.
The boss will subconsciously give this person more work because he feels that among all people, I give you a raise. This is the benefit I give you. You get more benefits and work when you put in more labor. Some work that others are unwilling to do can only make you come. Who makes others lose their salary increase?
In this incident, the colleagues and bosses of the "lucky person" who raised the salary selectively avoided the fact. That is why this person raised the salary?
From the perspective of the boss, if this person has made more contributions than others, as the boss, would he give him a raise? As a colleague, you don’t have more hard work than others and have less salary than others, what can you be jealous of?
In other words, this person's salary increase was brought to him by the extra hard work he had already paid. There was no unfairness and no favors he owed to anyone.
But in reality, he will be treated harshly by both sides.
This is human nature. Most human nature will not consider whether it is fair or not, nor will they choose to admit their shortcomings, but will choose to use the "balance" method to find ways to reduce the advantages of others and make up for the losses caused by their own shortcomings.
Li Mu is now the person who raises his salary. Not only the nobles of the family look down on him, but even Li Shimin will feel that I support you so much and have great favors. If you don’t do your best to do your best to do your job for me, how can you be worthy of me?
He would not think that after the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the biggest beneficiary of himself was actually himself.
Because Li Mu had read this psychologist's article, he already had this concept in his mind and knew what would happen, so he chose to be low-key. He would not cause trouble or show off. It would be better that no one could remember me. In a game term in his previous life, it was "stabilize, don't wave". Only by stabilizing, don't wave can he achieve the final victory. The game is like this, and the reality is like this.
However, there is another uncertainty about human nature, that you want to keep calm and not be tempted, but others don’t think so.
Li Mu stopped talking and admitted his conscience, but Li Shimin didn't want to let him go. He asked Li Mu to follow him, just for purpose, otherwise would he be idle?
"but……"
It's over!
Li Mu's heart thrust, this sentence "but" can be said to be very spiritual. I didn't need me before, but after a sentence "but", it was still useful. Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin, squeezed out a smile, and said, "What does Your Majesty want me to do, why don't you say it bluntly."
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed to be expressed, but his face may have been trained to the 'Mahayana period', and its thickness is comparable to that of the city walls of Chang'an City. Li Mu's attack power could not break his defense at all. He coughed lightly and said, "As you said, I do want to work for my father. I can handle this Gaochang Lord, but if you think about it, it's not appropriate for me to enjoy honor alone. So I plan to ask my father to come forward and see Ju Wentai, and go through a formality."
Li Mu asked in confusion: "If it were just that, I think the Supreme Emperor would agree to Your Majesty. I can't use it, right?"
"Oh!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "Isn't it because of Keming?"
"Du Du?" Li Mu thought to himself, Du Ruhui is dead, what else can he do?
"The father hated Keming."
"Oh..." Li Mu understood a little.
As Li Shimin's strategist and the main planner of the Xuanwu Sect Incident, Du Ruhui was tantamount to one of the culprits of killing his eldest son in Li Yuan's eyes. Li Shimin gave him generously in recent days and was extremely mournful. When Li Yuan knew about it, he would definitely be unhappy.
The elderly are all children's personalities. You make me unhappy, and everything you say is wrong. It is not unreasonable for Li Shimin to have such worries.
"I understand, I will wrap it on me." Li Mu made an active suggestion and said, "When I arrive in heaven and earth, your Majesty will take the initiative to play mahjong. When you play mahjong, your Majesty will pay attention to my hand. Put my left hand under the table, and your Majesty will make a drum. When you take it on the table, your Majesty will make ten thousand words and clench it into a fist. Your Majesty will make a note. If you grab a mahjong in your hand, your Majesty will play Feng Card."
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this and asked blankly: "What is this for?"
"Give the Supreme Emperor some cannon!"
"ah?"
"Isn't it done to make the Emperor happy?"
Li Shimin was furious: "I am the emperor, how can I do such a flattery? Do you have only this idea? It's ridiculous! I won't do it!"
Half an hour later—
Li Shimin pulled out a three-piece and was about to hit it when he suddenly saw Li Mu clenching his left hand, and hurriedly put it down, pulled out a 50,000 yuan and hit it out: "Five thousand!"
"Haha, it's bad! I'm bad again!" Li Yuan snatched the 50,000 Li Shimin's slap in his hand, as if he was afraid that he would cheat, and smiled and said, "Shimin, you are not very lucky today. I just saw that you had won two 50,000 yuan, but I thought it was gone. I didn't expect that the last one would be waiting for me. I would all be together, give money!"
Li Shimin smiled bitterly, lowered his head and wanted to get the money, but found that the fifty taels of capital had already dawned, so he had to beg: "Father, my son lost all his money, can he owe it first-"
"What a bastard!" Li Yuan was immediately angry and slapped the table and said, "I owe you? I'm willing to accept the loss of gambling. You told me to owe you? Li Shimin, do you know what the word "trust" means? How did the emperor behave!"
Li Shimin was helpless and suddenly saw that there was a silver ingot left in front of Li Mu, and reached out and handed it to Li Yuan.
Li Mu stopped doing it and said, "Your Majesty, there are no father and son on the gambling table. Even though you are Your Majesty, you cannot steal my capital. I have lost a lot today. Only fifty taels of capital are left. Take it, what should I do?"
Li Shimin and Li Yuan did not dare to get angry, so they didn't care about Li Mu. They immediately scolded: "Don't you take care of my treasury? Just think that I borrowed you ten chunks of money and you just keep your accounts."
"This is not right, one code is one code..."
The two of them argued, but Li Yuan ignored them. He took the silver ingots, retrieved two taels of silver and threw them over, and said, "You two have lost all, don't play anymore, get out of here."
Hearing this, Li Shimin quickly winked at Li Mu. Li Mu put away the two taels of silver, cleared his throat, and said, "That... Emperor, there is something I want to ask you for help."
Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin and said, "I knew you two would not come to play mahjong with me for no reason, and even took turns to fire the cannons. Do you think I was so confused that I couldn't see it?"
"How can it be!" Li Mu quickly smiled and said, "Isn't this all for the pleasure of the Supreme Emperor? Your eyes are as sharp as a torch. Can you hide your little thoughts from your eyes?"
"You know your identity!" Li Yuan snorted. Although his expression did not ease, he could see that it was extremely useful. After thinking about it, he said, "What's the matter, let's say it?"
"Father, Ju Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, will come to see you tomorrow. My son feels that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous today and cannot be separated from the achievements of his father. My son dare not enjoy honor alone, so he wants to ask his father to come forward and accept the lord of Gaochang."
Li Mu quickly slipped through the cracks and said, "Yes, the Supreme Emperor saved all people from the fire and water, and his achievements were beyond the reach of the ages. Qin Emperor and Han Wu were unable to reach the level of martial arts. He should enjoy the honor of the coming of all countries. The Supreme Emperor, I think he can see him, he can see him!"
"It's better to be spared!" Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "There is no day, and there is no two masters in the country. I have abdicated now, 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 Ju Wentai here."
Li Shimin was stunned and thought about gains and losses in his heart. Li Mu quickly winked at him, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what his father said."
"Oh, this is really the best of both worlds!" Li Mu quickly flattered and said, "Your Majesty, look, we both monarch and ministers together, we didn't expect such a good idea. We must be the Supreme Emperor. We are stronger and quick-witted, and we really are-"
"You are good, don't be praised by you, are you okay? Get out of your way! I'm willing to give up the guests!"
Li Yourong responded and led the two downstairs. She asked for four people to play mahjong, and she also made a corner.
Li Shimin suddenly remembered something and said, "You're forgiving, I've told you something that I have issued an order to set up Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, Dingxiang, Yunzhong Governor's Offices, and appoint your uncle as the Governor's General. He will come to Chang'an to thank you soon."
"Ah?" Li Yourong subconsciously spoke, Li Shimin frowned and said, "Why, are you unhappy to see your uncle soon?"
Li Yourong shook his head quickly and said, "I'm so happy. I thought I would never meet my uncle again in this life, but I was shocked when I heard His Majesty say this." As he said, Li Yourong bowed and said, "Yourong thanked His Majesty for his uncle for his kindness."
Li Shimin did not doubt that he had, and said with a smile: "This is a reward that Shili deserves, no need to thank him."
