Chapter 3 Famous family heirlooms

Zhong Bai had to come out and explain, and blamed himself for forgetting to tell Li Zisheng about this on the way, I am afraid that in the eyes of General Deng, it is as if he and his party are playing tricks on him.

However, Zhong Bai was just about to speak, and Li Zisheng, who was behind, directly interrupted Zhong Bai's speech.

"General Deng, the student thinks he is not talented, but he has some real skills, except for the armed competition, the rest of the competition is fine." Li Zisheng smiled and said such arrogant words.

But this remark is exactly in the arms of General Deng, who is most disgusted with the kind of person who cherishes himself and is not good at revealing his edge, because in his opinion, if he is a person, he will not even reveal what he is best at, and he is willing to ignore everyone, this kind of person really has no value to use.

So when Li Zisheng finished saying this, General Deng's eyes lit up.

"Oh, it's not good to talk big at a young age."

General Deng squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Li Zisheng, Li Zisheng was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were raised, and he looked directly at General Deng.

The eyes of the two met in the air, and General Deng looked at the unruly gaze in Li Zisheng's eyes, and his heart was even more appreciative, and he also secretly made a conclusion that this son was extraordinary.

"General, although Zisheng has made achievements in the literature and Taoism, the art of war and strategy, and the way of Qihuang, he is strong in literature and weak in martial arts, but his wisdom is better than martial arts." Li Zisheng knows the strategy of relaxation and moderation, and he can say sharp words, but he can't do it all, otherwise the result will be annoying.

General Deng and Mr. Lin heard Li Zisheng's words, and their evaluation of Li Zisheng went to a higher level.

Knowing how to advance and retreat, knowing how to show one's own shortcomings, which in itself is to put the other party on their own side for consideration.

A person who is extremely good at negotiation may know how to get closer to each other, but Li Zisheng is only eight years old, and he already knows people's hearts, and this alone can make Li Zisheng directly serve as a staff officer like Mr. Lin in this army.

Li Zisheng knows his own shortcomings, there is no need to hide, if he wants the other party to admit himself, it is not enough to just expose what he is good at, but also to let the other party understand his shortcomings, only in this way, after the other party knows his shortcomings, he will let himself think that he will completely control himself, in this case, he can fully integrate into the other party's camp.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, you will explain the details of the Turkic Mission Wenbi to Li Zisheng, I want to see if this Li Zisheng is as powerful as Zhang Dudu said."

General Deng didn't mention what Li Zisheng said about his own advantages and shortcomings just now, but just said what Zhang Dudu said.

"Yes, General."

"This time the competition is very simple, but it is extremely difficult. The Turkic mission dispatched ten people, and the Tang Dynasty sent ten people, and among the two teams, two by two were a team for the competition. There is a special rule for the two sides of the competition, which is a group of civil and military groups. That is, the literati and the warriors form a team, and the two sides compete with each other. ”

"If the literati and the warriors are in a group with each other, doesn't that mean that while the two sides complement each other, they will also cause chaos to each other." Li Zisheng said.

"Yes, the literati and the warriors have a literary competition and a martial arts competition respectively, so this is equivalent to a martial arts competition, where the two sides protect each other's literati, and in the context of the literary competition, the literati on both sides fill the vacancy caused by the martial artists. It is said that it is complementary, but in fact, it drags each other down. ”

Mr. Lin explained.

"In the literary competition, the literati competition adopts the method of the imperial examination of our dynasty, a post of the Ming Jing and poetry, two rounds of competition, and in the martial arts competition, it is the method of the martial arts examination used in the former Zhou Dynasty, the first is the fist and foot competition, and the second is the examination and teaching of the battlefield and the art of war, which may be good at among the martial artists, but if the literati are compared, there will be something lacking."

"And this exchange of Turkic missions is a major event of my Tang Dynasty, a major event of my Guannei Dao, and a major event of my Lingzhou, and my Lingzhou has been sanctified by Heaven as a place for Turkic exchanges. Therefore, this time, my Lingzhou must win this battle and show the demeanor of my Tang Dynasty. ”

Although what Mr. Lin said was extremely enthusiastic, Li Zisheng was not a reckless person, and the risks were understated by Mr. Lin, so if you listen to it at this time, although you know the drawbacks, you will be full of confidence.

Although the theory of a hundred schools of thought in the Tang Dynasty is relatively weak, Li Zisheng is extremely sure at this time that Mr. Lin in front of him must be a famous person, and in a few words, he directly named the disadvantages while also eliminating the worries of the other party about this disadvantage, and was full of confidence, so he was really an excellent negotiator.

"Mr. Lin is really good at talking about negotiations, and I will definitely have to communicate more with Mr. Lin when I have the opportunity."

The speaker has no intention, but if the listener is intentional, the listener will be shocked.

After listening to Li Zisheng's ambiguous praise, Mr. Lin felt a little weird. His own art of talking is inherited from the famous masters of the hundred schools, and the best thing among the famous masters is to negotiate and discuss.

And this Li Zisheng himself lightly said that he wanted to ask for his experience in negotiation, I don't know if this Li Zisheng had the intention or not, and pointed out the negotiation to talk about a thing, could it be that he guessed his identity.

Although the literature and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty are prosperous, the mainstream is Taoism and Confucianism, and the two giants are fighting openly and secretly, just like this trip to worship the heavens and seal Zen, Taoism and Confucian ministers have quarreled countless times, and the upper echelons argued, but secretly I don't know how many times you have lived and died.

The most important thing is that in the imperial court, almost all the power is in the hands of the two families, but if the rest of the hundred families hold the power, they will be attacked by the two families, which is the current iron law of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the default behavior of the Tang Dynasty today.

Even though the powerful military masters had countless armies in their hands and patrolled the heavens in the vast territory of the world, the rulers of the armies were still ministers of literature and Taoism, and were held by Confucians or Taoists.

Controls all the sergeants in the world.

Of course, there is another way, that is, to study Confucian classics, learn the poetry and songs, and finally participate in the imperial examination, and get the top prize, if it doesn't matter, only a few years later, will get an official position, but it is not a big official.

Just like this General Deng, he was given the shadow of his ancestors, and his ancestor was a loyal general during the Taizong period of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, so because of this, he got this position.

But it is precisely because of the ancestral shade that its development prospects will be greatly improved, which is also the reason why I choose to rely on it.
