Volume 1 Through the Tang Dynasty Chapter 62 Conspiracy
"Tricksters have tricks and are effective, but they are limited, and those who have achieved great things have never been seen in ancient times." Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly, "Although Wan Guojun's move is vicious, he is taking a crooked ramp, so Lord Assassin Shi doesn't have to worry about it at all!"
Feng Junheng looked at Lu Xiaoxian in a daze, it was obviously a fatal matter, why did he become so light when he came here.
Lu Xiaoxian said this not irresponsible, but after careful consideration. He can't help but admit that Wan Guojun is an excellent strategist and the most difficult person he has encountered since his debut. However, Wan Guojun also has his weaknesses.
One is that he thinks he's smart.
People who are good at scheming have a very high opinion of themselves, feel that they can understand people's hearts, can use their wrists, and get sweetness in the process of calculating others again and again, and then under this kind of encouragement, they will abuse this wisdom, constantly and frequently operate, take advantage of others, and let everyone around feel that his scheming exists. In the treatment of Feng Junheng, Wan Guojun made such a mistake, he thought that everything in Panzhou was under his control, but he didn't know that there were some things he didn't master.
The second is that he is too superstitious about power.
Most people who are good at scheming are superstitious about power, they think that if they have power, they can do whatever they want, and power can solve all problems. But in reality, power is only one of the greatest resources in strategy, not the whole story. When power is disproportionately large in strategy, strategy is unwittingly inferior. Wan Guojun is like this, he can write the classic "Luo Weaving Sutra", it stands to reason that he should have a clear understanding of this, but power has made him a little lost. He thinks that with Wu Zetian as a backer, he can do anything, and he does not hesitate to offend anyone for this. If he wasn't supervising the imperial history, if he wasn't the emperor's envoy, the method he was using now wouldn't be on the table at all.
The third is that he despises his opponents too much.
In Wan Guojun's mind, he thinks that Feng Junheng can't make any big waves, so he can only let him slaughter it. If it weren't for Lu Xiaoxian's appearance, maybe this would be the result. But since Lu Xiaoxian is in charge of this matter, it is not so simple. You must know that Lu Xiaoxian is a teacher of the "Ninety-Five Gates", specializing in all kinds of strategies, and he is also from a professional class, which is not inferior to Wan Guojun.
After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's detailed analysis, Feng Junheng's heart brightened, it turned out that Wan Guojun was not as difficult to deal with as he imagined, which made the panic in his heart alleviate a lot.
When it comes to being an official and governing states and counties, Feng Junheng thinks that his ability is not bad, but when it comes to scheming, he is much inferior. At least, compared to the young man in front of him, he is much inferior.
"And how should I deal with him?" Feng Junheng humbly asked for advice.
"If there is something that cannot be refused, do not refuse. Drag it slowly, eliminate its momentum, and then Xu Tu. ”
Lu Xiaoxian's tone was gentle and calm, Feng Junheng seemed to think of the answer, but he couldn't grasp it, like the wind under his sleeves and the sand between his fingers, which flowed in an instant.
"Can you elaborate?"
"Actually, it's very simple, one word, it's 'drag'." Lu Xiaoxian explained, "Wan Guojun's purpose is very clear, that is, through this method, he will force you to do something out of line, and then use this as an excuse to clean you up!" Therefore, you must first promise him, agree to go to the post, and then drag it out in various ways, and in the end the matter will be over. ”
Lu Xiaoxian's meaning is very clear, when there are some things that cannot be refused, do not confront, but dissolve the opponent's energy by delaying time. After dissipating the opponent's energy, you can only deal with it slowly.
Everyone has a time when they are reluctant to do something and refuse to others, such as borrowing money, but if they explicitly refuse to hurt their feelings, they do not refuse to hurt their own wallet. Therefore, what can be done is not to refuse superficially, so as to preserve each other's face, and refuse to be placed in the dark.
As for "dragging", this is a classic mushroom tactic in later generations: the fat ones drag thin, and the thin ones drag to death, not not to do it, but to delay it.
"But!" Feng Junheng still had concerns in his heart, "If I agree, how about he let me go to the post immediately?" ”
"Absolutely impossible, he doesn't have the ability to do this!" Lu Xiao gossiped, "If this is the case, he will not stay in Panzhou for a month before telling you about it." If I'm not mistaken, he did it himself. ”
To appoint a state assassin history, the Zhongshu Province should be ordered to write a book, and after the examination and approval of the Ministry of Menxia, the emperor will approve the original of the imperial approval, and send a copy to the Shangshu Province, and finally go through the formal procedures. These processes were already known to Lu Xiaoxian when he read the history of the Tang Dynasty in his previous life. In addition, he had asked Yang Si for verification, so he judged that this must be a moth made by Wan Guojun.
"What?" Feng Junheng was taken aback, "He dares to falsely pass on the holy decree?" ”
"Don't you forget, Wan Guojun is a well-known cool official, what is there he that he doesn't dare to do?" Lu Xiaoxian said coldly, "Besides, he didn't read the holy decree on the spot, even if he investigates it afterwards, it can be said that he did it to test you." If you don't agree to go to work, it means that his temptation is effective, not only can he pick himself cleanly, but this basin will also be buckled on your head, you can't say it! ”
Feng Junheng suddenly realized and nodded incessantly.
Now that he knows Wan Guojun's conspiracy, how to deal with it is very important, Feng Junheng carried forward the spirit of humility to the end, and continued to ask for advice: "Even if he doesn't have a holy decree, but after I agree, what if he really asks His Majesty for an edict and lets me go to Yingzhou to take up my post?" ”
"Even so, it takes time for him to ask for instructions, which is equivalent to buying you time and giving you room to operate! For example, you can ask someone close to the emperor to intercede for you, and not go to the post. For example, you can call yourself sick and give the ministry a reason not to go to work. It's really not good, it's always okay to resign. I don't need to teach you this! ”
In later generations, it was Lu Xiaoxian who listened to what others taught him. Now, he can teach others in a high-sounding manner, and it is also the history of a state's assassination, which is a great official in the future.
Looking at Feng Junheng, who was humble and empty, Lu Xiaoxian was secretly refreshed, and an inexplicable sense of superiority and accomplishment arose.
……
Outside Feng Junheng's study, Feng Man sat on the stone bench in the courtyard with his hands on his cheeks.
Speaking of which, she and Lu Xiaoxian haven't known each other for a long time, but there is something called fate, which always makes her inexplicably excited.
Some people can't tell what's good, but no one can replace it; Some people can't say what's wrong, but they just won't. Feng Man knew in his heart that Lu Xiaoxian was the one who could not be replaced by others.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian was talking to his father in the study. Time has turned the wait into an ordeal, and even if the waiting time is too long, Feng Man has forgotten what the reason for waiting is.
Finally, the door to the study opened, and Feng Man quickly stood up.
Feng Junheng and Lu Xiaoxian walked out of the door and came to the door, Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said to Feng Junheng: "Lord Thorn Shi, stay and stay!" ”
"I'll send it to you, you helped me so much, and I should send it!" Feng Junheng said stubbornly.
"It's an eventful time now, and there are many people, so it's better to be careful!" Lu Xiaoxian reminded.
Feng Junheng glanced at Feng Man on the side: "That's it, you send Lu Gongzi for me!" ”
Feng Man nodded.
Lu Xiaoxian and Feng Man walked side by side to the outside of the courtyard, and when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Xiaoxian seemed to think of something, turned around again, and said to Feng Junheng: "Master Thorn Shi, there is one more thing, I think it is necessary to remind you!" ”
Seeing Lu Xiaoxian's solemn appearance, Feng Junheng couldn't help but be stunned: "Young Master Lu, please speak!" ”
"What we say today, must be kept secret! Especially when talking about Ruyi, you can't mention a word! ”
"Why is that?" Feng Junheng was puzzled, "I was going to discuss this matter with him!" ”
"You don't get along with each other on weekdays, if you tell him what you really think, maybe he will use this to make a fuss and calculate you!"
"We're grasshoppers on a fly, how could he do that?" Feng Junheng was taken aback.
Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but shake his head, although Feng Junheng is the head of the Feng family and the history of a state assassin, he is too far behind in terms of scheming.
"People who often know your details know where the knife hurts the most, so you must guard against him, don't expose your weakness and do things you regret! Remember, remember! ”
Feng Junheng nodded: "I remember, don't worry, Master Lu!" ”
