Li Mu was silent, he had been trying to keep a low profile recently. Because in the previous matter, he has taken a big advantage. In his previous life, when Li Mu was reading miscellaneous books, he saw a study by a foreign psychologist called the 'Balance Code'.

There are several examples of this, very vivid.

For example, we work in the same company, the position is the same, the income is also the same, the relationship is not bad, and we can be regarded as friends. Suddenly, one day, a person got a raise, two hundred yuan. It stands to reason that everyone is a friend and should be happy for each other.

But the psychologist concluded that there is no happiness, but jealousy can account for 90 percent. Even if you don't say it, you are doing it subtly in your behavior. His colleagues, there will be a subconscious signal in their minds, why is this guy the only one to get a raise? I'm no worse than him! But it's not easy to put on a face for this little thing, so what happens?

Colleagues will unconsciously take advantage of him. Even if you take a pen from him, or let him work extra hours, I will feel a little more comfortable. You've earned more than I do, and you deserve it.

The boss will subconsciously assign more work to this person, because he feels that among all people, I gave you a raise, which is the benefit I gave you, and you got more benefits, and you should pay more labor. And some jobs that others are unwilling to do, can only let you come, who let others not get a raise?

In this incident, the colleagues and bosses of the 'lucky one' of the salary increase have selectively avoided a fact. That's why did this person get a raise?

From the boss's point of view, if this person has not contributed more than others, as a boss, will he give him a raise? And as a colleague, you don't pay as much hard work as others, and your salary is less than others, what is there to be jealous of?

In other words, this person's salary increase is brought to him by the extra hard work he has already paid, and there is nothing unfair about it, and it does not involve the favor owed to anyone.

But in reality, he will be treated harshly in two ways.

This is human nature. Most human nature will not consider whether it is fair or not, and will not choose to admit its own shortcomings, but will choose to use a 'balanced' approach to find a way to reduce the advantages of others and make up for the losses caused by their own shortcomings.

Li Mu is now the one who raised his salary, and now not only does the gate lord look down on him, but even Li Shimin will feel that I support you so much, and you are very favorable, you don't do your best to do things for me, how can you be worthy of 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 this 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 make trouble, don't stand out, it's best that no one thinks of me. In the words of a game in the previous life, it is 'steady, don't wave', and only by stabilizing don't wave can you achieve the final victory. This is true of the game, and so is the reality.

But there is also an uncertainty about human nature, which is that you want to stabilize the waves, but others don't think so.

Li Mu was silent and confessed, but Li Shimin didn't want to let him go. He asked Li Mu to follow, it was with a purpose, otherwise he would have nothing to do?

"But ......"

Finished!

Li Mu's heart suddenly suddenly, this sentence 'but' can be said to be very spiritual, I don't need it before, but after a sentence of 'but', I can still use it. Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin, squeezed out a smile, and said, "What does Your Majesty want your Majesty to do with your ministers, you might as well say it bluntly." ”

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed to be told that his mind was broken, but his cheek may have been practiced to the 'Mahayana period', and the thickness is comparable to the city wall of Chang'an City, and Li Mu's attack power can't break his defense at all. He coughed lightly and said, "As you said, I really want to work for my father. This lord of Gaochang came to meet me, and I can handle it, but if you think about it, my father is still here, and I enjoy the honor alone, which is really not appropriate. So I plan to ask my father to come forward, meet this Ju Wentai, and go through the motions. ”

Li Mu was puzzled: "If it's just like this, the minister thinks that the emperor should promise His Majesty, and he doesn't need the minister, right?" ”

"Alas!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "Isn't it because of Keming?" ”

"Du Gong?" Li Muxin said, Du Ruhui is already dead, what else can he do because of him?

"Father hates Keming."

"Oh......" Li Mu understood a little.

Du Ruhui, as Li Shimin's strategist and the main planner of the Xuanwumen Change, was tantamount to one of the culprits who killed his eldest son in Li Yuan's eyes. And Li Shimin has given him a lot of money in recent days, and he is extremely sad, and Li Yuan must be unhappy when he knows it.

The old people are all children's personalities, you make me unhappy, everything you say is wrong. Li Shimin's concern is not unreasonable.

"The minister understands, wrap it on the minister's body." Li Mu took the initiative to come up with ideas and said: "When you get to heaven and earth in a while, Your Majesty will take the initiative to play mahjong." Mahjong is played, and His Majesty pays attention to the hands of the ministers. The minister's left hand is placed under the table, His Majesty will play the tube, and when he gets it on the table, His Majesty will play 10,000 characters, clenched into a fist, and His Majesty will play a strip, if he catches a mahjong in his hand, His Majesty will play the wind card. ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What is this for?" ”

"Ignite the Emperor!"

"Huh?"

"If the emperor is too happy, won't it be done?"

Li Shimin was furious: "I am the emperor, how can I do such a flattering thing? Is that all you have in mind? Ridiculous! I don't do it! ”

Half an hour later—

Li Shimin took out a three-of-a-kind, and was about to hit it out, when he suddenly saw Li Mu's left hand clenched into a fist, hurriedly put it down, and pulled out a 50,000 and hit it: "50,000!" ”

"Haha, huh! I'm again! Li Yuan snatched the 50,000 yuan that Li Shimin had punched out, as if he was afraid that he would cheat, smiled, and said: "Shimin, your luck is not very good today, I saw that I had beaten out two 50,000 just now, and I thought it was gone, but I didn't think that this last one would be waited for me." All right to Hu, give money to money! ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly, lowered his head and wanted to take the money, but found that the capital of fifty taels had already dawned, so he had to beg: "Father, my son's money has been lost, can you owe it first-"

"What a bastard!" Li Yuanden was angry, slapped the table and said, "Owe? If you want to gamble and lose, you told me that you owe? Li Shimin, do you know what the word 'letter' means? How did the emperor be! ”

Li Shimin was helpless, and suddenly saw that there was still a silver ingot left in front of Li Mu, and reached out to take it and handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Mu didn't do it anymore, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no father and son at the gambling table, although you are Your Majesty, you can't rob the minister's capital." The minister didn't lose less today, and the capital of fifty taels is only ten taels of silver, you take it, I, what should I do? ”

Li Shimin and Li Yuan didn't dare to get angry, so they didn't care about Li Mu, and immediately reprimanded: "Aren't you in charge of my internal affairs? Just let me lend you ten dollars, and you can keep the accounts. ”

"That's not right, a yard is a yard ......"

The two argued, Li Yuan didn't care about the two of them, took the silver ingot, retrieved the two taels of silver and threw it over, and said, "You two have also lost everything, don't play, get out." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly glanced at Li Mu. Li Mu put away the two taels of silver, cleared his throat, and said, "That...... Emperor Tai, there is something I want to ask you old man. ”

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin and said, "I know that you two won't come to play mahjong with me, an old man, for no reason, and take turns to light guns, do you think I can't see it?" ”

"How can it!" Li Mu hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Isn't this all for the sake of the emperor's happiness?" Your eyes are like torches, and this little thought of the minister and His Majesty can still hide from your eyes? ”

"Count you as acquaintances!" Li Yuan snorted, although his face did not ease, he could also see that it was extremely useful, thought about it, and said, "What's the matter, just say it?" ”

"Father, tomorrow the lord of Gaochang Ju Wentai will come to see him, and his son feels that now the Tang Dynasty is prosperous today, and it is inseparable from his father's merits. The son did not dare to enjoy the honor alone, so he wanted to ask his father to come forward and accept the worship of the lord of Gaochang. ”

Li Mu hurriedly slipped through the cracks and said: "Yes, yes, the Emperor Taishang rescued the people from fire and water, and the merits were covered for thousands of years, and the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty could not reach it, and he should enjoy the honor of all countries coming to the court. ”

"It's better to be free!" Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country." I have abdicated now, I am not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I be honored by this? ”

"Father's ......"

Li Shimin wanted to persuade again, and Li Yuan said again: "I won't go to the Liangyi Palace, but after the court, there should 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 heart. Li Mu hurriedly glanced at him, Li Shimin nodded, and said, "Okay, just according to what my father said." ”

"Gee, it's the best of both worlds!" Li Mu hurriedly sent a sycophant and said: "Your Majesty, look at it, we monarchs and ministers together, we didn't think of such a good way, it has to be the emperor, old and strong, quick thinking, it is really-"

"You're viable, not being flattered by you, are you okay? Nothing goes! Yourong, it's time to send off guests! ”

Li Yourong answered and led the two downstairs. It takes four people to play mahjong, and she also made a corner.

Li Shimin suddenly remembered one thing, and said: "Yourong, there is something to tell you, I have issued an order to set up the governors of Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong, and appoint your uncle as the governor of Shunzhou. ”

"Huh?" Li Yourong subconsciously spoke, Li Shimin frowned, and said, "What, I'm about to see your uncle, aren't you happy?" ”

Li Yourong hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm so happy, I thought that I wouldn't see my uncle again in this life, but I was startled when I suddenly heard His Majesty say this." Saying that, Li Yourong made a salute and said, "Uncle Yourong thanked His Majesty Longen." ”

Li Shimin did not doubt him, and said with a smile: "This is the reward that Tuli deserves, and there is no need to thank him." ”

Li Yourong sent the two to the door, and watched them leave, with a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
