One Hundred and One, The Basic Law of Trust (I)
Chapter 101: The Basic Law of Trust (I)
When I returned to the palace, it was rumored that the prince was going to arrange a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet for the Queen Mother. Needless to say, the people of the Ninth Elder Brother pouted a little in the prince's ear, and I took over this unfortunate task as soon as possible - in this inner palace full of eyeliners, I don't want to refuse.
Since I have to take on this dangerous task, I don't have to think about these negative emotions - the most important thing is how to do it well, and most importantly, how to get out of it. Even if I, Zhang Xiaoying, want to die, I want to die for myself, and if I want to die for people like Brother Jiu, I won't be blind even if I die.
With the trump card of the Queen Mother in hand, I will go to the Prince's Mansion to discuss how to procure the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, which is justified. But Brother Jiu is right about one thing, that is-the prince doesn't trust me at all, to be precise, the prince doesn't trust anyone.
Every time I go to the prince's mansion, the prince will ask many servants to serve me well. It's not that there are too many servants in the prince's mansion to be used up, but it's called serving and surveillance. From that day on, my every move was closely monitored by the prince, let alone investigating the situation, even if I wanted to find time to contact Brother Jiu to shirk my responsibility, I couldn't do it.
I knew that I wouldn't have played so vigorously with the eighth elder brother at the beginning, and the government and the opposition knew everything - this is good, the prince's suspicion of me is not ordinary, and I am afraid that in his eyes now, I am afraid that I am a spy sent by the old eight.
At this time, the person I admire the most has become Kangxi - think about how many people will his nine elder brothers and all kinds of people with ill intentions put around him? He is now eating, sleeping, and concubines are being selected into the palace in batches, how big a nerve can this be!
Anyway, I can't do it, and now there are nine days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means that I have to gain the trust of the prince, a person who doesn't even trust me, in just nine days. I still have to endure the terrible days of not even going to the toilet and not knowing how many pairs of eyes are staring at you in secret, I hope I don't go crazy before gaining the trust of the prince!
One of the basic rules of trust, people generally trust those who are more arrogant, probably because they are too arrogant to use lies. Therefore, my first step was to disdain the prince's various distrusts and recreate my proud image in front of the prince.
"The slave maid has seen the prince, the prince is enlightened, the slave maid has a new idea, the prince is good to listen to it."
The prince was actually born very well, but now due to excessive wine, he looks much older than the eldest brother: "Look at what Gege said, Gege has come up with a lot of ideas these days!" All of them are unprecedented, and I am about to play the Emperor Ama to make a contribution to you! ”
"The prince laughed, the slave and maid are stupid and clumsy, how can I come up with any ideas! Those are all filial piety of the prince, and you have come up with it after forgetting to sleep and eat, and the slave and maid don't dare to take any credit! ”
The second basic rule of trust is to think what others think and do what others have to do. If you want to gain the trust of others, you must first make them have a good impression of you. The so-called good impression is to do something trivial for him from time to time without a trace, and you don't want to take credit, as if doing things for him can make you happy.
"You are sensible, don't worry, I remember your affection." The crown prince was deposed because the emperor thought he was not filial enough, and now I sell him a chance to show his filial piety, which will naturally make him look at me differently.
The third rule of trust - common hobbies will only make people quarrel, and the phrase like-minded is just a combination of interests. The most unbreakable bond in the world is a shared hatred – sometimes hatred is more powerful than love.
If you want to make good friends with someone (not a dog meat friend but a real one), just ask him who he hates the most, and then run in front of him and scold that person. So scolding Cao Cao in front of Liu Bei is a hero; In Liangshan, you scolded Gao Yu, you are a hero; Sun Yat-sen attacked the Manchu government in front of him, and you can join the League; During the Anti-Japanese War, the heroes who scolded the Japanese devils were all famous heroes...... Why? Because the so-called like-mindedness, the so-called life and death, is nothing more than involuntary unity in the face of a common and powerful enemy!
The prince is the same now, who does the prince hate the most now? It has to be the eighth brother. It's a pity that to deal with a suspicious person like the prince, I can't go to him and scold the eighth elder brother for no reason. How can I show my "deep hatred" attitude towards Brother Ba? It's up to people to make things happen, it's up to heaven to make things happen - all I'm waiting for is an opportunity to show my attitude without a trace.
On the third day of my arrival at the Prince's Mansion, the eighth, ninth, and tenth actually reported to the Prince's Mansion at the same time - this is an unprecedented historic breakthrough, after all, no one in the Manchu Dynasty knows that these two factions have already become a fire and water. This great opportunity that fell from the sky made me very suspicious that Brother Jiu had the same idea as me, so he deliberately came to cooperate with me.
As soon as the two sides met, the smell of gunpowder was very strong, and the prince was abolished once but it was much more restrained, but this time a straw bag was added, and it was difficult to think about the scene: "Brother Prince has been very idle recently, isn't it that Huang Ama hasn't recruited you into the palace for a long time!" “
This old ten, which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, the prince heard that the old ten was poking his sore spot, his angry face turned green, and he just wanted to have a seizure, but I stopped him from behind and said: "Look at what the tenth master said, who doesn't know that the prince is now forgetting to sleep and eat for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet of the queen mother, and the emperor has not let the prince enter the palace these days, in order to let the prince concentrate on errands. ”
No matter how the prince is, he is still the prince, I said it just right - looking at the world, everyone knows that the relationship between the emperor and the prince is becoming more and more estranged, but no one has the courage to say this.
"Okay, you girl-" Lao Shi saw that I actually helped the prince count him, and he was angry: "What are you, is it up to you to intervene in your speech?" ”
"No, but this is in the prince's mansion, no one has any permission to intervene in front of the prince, even if you are the tenth elder brother!" I blocked Lao Shi to death with one sentence.
Lao Shi saw that he couldn't say anything about me, and he was the most angry and vindictive of all the princes, so he used his identity as a brother to be brute and want to be rough with me.
"Tenth brother!" The eighth elder brother shouted angrily, and pulled him back: "Sit down!" ”
This is what I call a God-given opportunity - with the eighth elder brother here, no matter what I do today, he will not let Lao Shi touch me. This is also where I admire the eighth brother very much, the tenth elder brother, even I can't think of any way to control it well. He can actually obey the tenth elder brother, and he can be regarded as a generation of heroes!
"Our brothers came today because they also found some novelties and wanted to dedicate them to the imperial grandmother on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival." Brother Jiu suddenly spoke.
I finally understand why they are here today - it turns out that Lao Jiu wants me to gain the trust of the prince in this way, this method is too old-fashioned, and if I don't get it, he will fool me in.
Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu, no wonder you will lose the country in the end - you are smart and smart, but you are too impatient!
