In this secret letter, Li Ru'an's attitude was very loyal and honest, and he "detailed" the story of his secret meeting with Zhu Hejian yesterday.

In fact, Li Ruan did confess almost everything, whether it was Zhu Hejian's solicitation and promise, or Wu Xinquan's matchmaking and cooperation, and even Zhu Hejian's hope that he could make friends with Zhao Junchen and take the opportunity to spy on the news, all of them were missing, and they were densely filled with five pieces of letterhead.

However, Li Ruan also concealed the most crucial point - that is, Zhu Hejianxing asked him to steal the secret box of the imperial study - he was worried that Zhao Junchen would use this matter to make a big fuss and harm Zhu Hejian, and he himself might become a victim.

However, after Zhao Junchen read Li Ruan's secret letter, he easily saw through Li Ruan's careful thoughts.

In this secret letter, the content that occupies the most space is the benefits promised by Zhu Hejian and Wu Xinquan to Li Ru'an, and the importance of his status today is hinted at everywhere between the lines.

Therefore, the meaning of Li Ru'an's words is very clear - I am no longer the inconsequential little person I was at my disposal at the beginning, Zhu Hejian has invested heavily and is full of sincerity in order to recruit me, so what about your Zhao Junchen's sincerity?

In short, the content of the secret letter seems to be loyal and sincere, but in fact it implies the meaning of bargaining and taking advantage of the opportunity.

Perhaps, according to Li Ru'an's thoughts, after Zhao Junchen read this secret letter, he must be anxious, in order to maintain Li Ru'an's loyalty to himself, he must give Li Ru'an more benefits and a higher status of cooperation, and then Li Ru'an can take the opportunity to break free from Zhao Junchen's control and gradually become a political ally with Zhao Junchen on an equal footing - he still has not extinguished his ambition to become the next Feng Bao.

This is also the reason why Zhao Junchen said that Li Ruan was "too smart".

Knowing how to use opportunities and environment, fighting for their own interests and status, this is of course the performance of a smart person, but if you only see the opportunity in your eyes, but you forget your own strength and position, and you are dizzy and forgetful, it is "too smart"!

*

On the other side, after seeing Zhao Junchen's sneer, Xu Qingyan hurriedly asked, "Young Master, why is Li Ru'an too smart?" Did he mention something excessive? ”

Zhao Junchen smiled, casually handed Li Ruan's secret letter to Xu Qingyan, and said, "This secret letter will be stored for the time being, maybe it will be useful in the future...... Li Ru'an is indeed cautious, and deliberately changed the handwriting when writing the letter, but his knowledge is only the extent of his name after all, and many details in the handwriting can still prove that the letter is from his handwriting. ”

After Xu Qingyan put away the secret letter, Zhao Junchen finally explained: "If you want to say that he mentioned something excessive...... It's just that he thinks he's worth more money now and wants to ask me for more status and benefits! If you look at it from his standpoint, it is indeed not excessive. ”

Xu Qingyan has always been a Pixiu who only enters but does not leave, and after hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, he immediately reprimanded angrily: "This Li Ruan really dares to open his mouth!" I want benefits and status, and I'm not afraid to kill myself! Not to mention that everything he has now is given by the young master, just because he is just a rootless goods full of urine, he dares to bargain with the young master? How much more benefit and status could he want? Do you still want to be on an equal footing with the young master? He also deserves it? ”

After scolding, Xu Qingyan asked again: "Young Master, you won't really promise him, right?" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said, "Of course not, I may give him some benefits and status in the future, but I can only take the initiative to give it, he can't take the initiative to ask for it!" If I give it to him this time, he will only want to gain an inch and be even more greedy! ”

Xu Qingyan asked again, "Then how do you reply to him, young master?" ”

Zhao Junchen smiled again and asked rhetorically, "Reply?" Why do you need to reply? If you don't reply to the letter, just hang him like this! ”

"Hang him?"

Zhao Junchen nodded, and said leisurely: "Yes, it is to hang him, only by drying him can he make his feverish brain sober up, so as to recognize his position!" Tell our eyeliner over there in the inner court to stare at Li Ruan more during this time. ”

Xu Qingyan was a little puzzled, but he still nodded, and was ready to convey Zhao Junchen's instructions.

If it was in the past, the conversation between Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan would have ended here, but now that Zhao Junchen has planned to let Xu Qingyan take charge alone, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to teach Xu Qingyan something more.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen stretched out his hand to stop Xu Qingyan and asked, "Guess what, if I hang Li Ruan like this, how will he react?" ”

Xu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and replied hesitantly: "Will you be in a hurry?" ”

"What about after the hurry?"

"Scared to wander? Jump the track? Extremely suspicious? ”

Zhao Junchen clapped his palms and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right!" If you want to speculate how a person will react when encountering something, you can't just look at the personality shown by the person on the surface, but also see through the root nature of the person! Take Li Ruan and Zhu Hejian as examples, they seem to be ambitious, but if you want to speculate on their behavior patterns, you can't just see that they are ambitious, these ambitions are just appearances, but also see through where their ambitions come from! Let's talk about it again, what is the origin of Li Ru'an's ambition? What is the origin of Zhu Hejian's ambition? ”

Xu Qingyan had never considered this, but he also knew that Zhao Junchen was teaching himself, so he naturally thought about it seriously.

But after a long time, Xu Qingyan still shook his head and said, "I can't think of it, young master, you should say it clearly!" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head with a smile and explained: "Before Li Ru'an rose, of course, he had a name for lifting people, but because of factors such as land annexation, redundant officials and redundant soldiers, frequent imperial examinations, etc., people are no longer as valuable as they were a hundred years ago, and he is the most destitute group among those who have fallen off the list.

And the ambition he is showing now is precisely because of this sense of uneasiness, maybe even he didn't realize it, he tried his best to climb up, wanted to have a lot of interests, wanted to fight for a higher status, all in order to give himself a sense of security and ease the uneasiness in his heart!

Therefore, once something out of control and unexpected happens, and he can't receive tangible news in time, his heart will inevitably be full of uneasiness again, and then he will become cranky and suspicious as you speculate, and the angle of thinking about the problem will also become pessimistic, constantly scaring himself, and when he reaches this point, he will forget his ambitions, lower his expectations again, and then completely regain his calm!

Of course, the scale of this also needs to be controlled, you must know that once a person is terrifying to the extreme, he will become blind, this blindness is very similar to courage, at this time he may jump off the wall in a hurry, so we must rush to calm him a little before he develops to this point......"

When commenting on Li Ru'an's ambitions, Zhao Junchen's demeanor was slightly disdainful and casual, but then when he talked about Zhu Hejian, Zhao Junchen's expression was a little more solemn.

But Zhu Hejian is different, his ambition comes from three parts, the first is his self-confidence in the art of the emperor, the second is his arrogance as a prince who treats others like mustard, and the last is his unwillingness to be snubbed by all walks of life when he gets along with the crown prince Zhu Heyu...... Therefore, his ambition is also full of aggression, if he encounters the same situation, we can hang Li Ru'an, because I know very well that Li Ruan's deep sense of uneasiness will make him take the initiative to give in, but he must not use this method to deal with Zhu Hejian, because after he encounters this situation, he will inevitably have an extremely violent reaction. ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen's expression also returned to flatness, and concluded: "Therefore, if you want to judge a person's heart and speculate on a person's actions in the future, you must not only look at the appearance of this person's personality, but also deeply analyze the reasons for the formation of this person's personality.

Some people seem to be brave, but in fact they are ignorant and blind; Some people seem to be cowardly, but in fact they are indisputable and cautious...... To take another example that you are more familiar with, Ru'er and Zhang Yu'er's personalities were also very similar before she became pregnant, they were both shrewd and strong, but in fact they were completely different people!

The Storyteller's Guild has been entrusted to you with full responsibility, this organization will soon expand to the entire territory of our dynasty, and you will also come into contact with all kinds of subordinates at that time, you must have accurate skills to recognize people, especially those who are entrusted with important tasks by you, you must see their roots clearly, and then you can arrange different tasks according to their different roots, otherwise it is easy to get bad things. ”

After listening to Zhao Junchen's lecture, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

*

On this day, because of Zhao Junchen's class, Xu Qingyan always looked thoughtful, obviously listening to Zhao Junchen's words in his heart.

And while Xu Qingyan was gradually growing up in thought, Li Ru'an was just as Zhao Junchen expected, and soon fell into an impatient and suspicious mood.

Emperor Deqing did not come to the imperial study today, so Li Ruan also ended his duty early, and he had already returned to his residence in the afternoon.

After returning to the room, Li Ruan immediately closed the door and walked quickly to the secret compartment of the room to investigate.

According to Li Ru'an's understanding, Zhao Junchen has always been very efficient in doing things, and he can be described as resolute, he originally thought that after returning to the room after more than three hours, he would definitely see Zhao Junchen's reply.

However, after Li Ruan opened the secret grid, he did not see any reply.

Could it be that Zhao Junchen was delayed by some things, or was he a little hesitant because of a major decision, so he didn't reply in time?

Thinking like this, Li Ruan was worried that staying in the room would make the contact person dare not send the letter, so he deliberately left the room again, and did not return to the room again until the palace was banned, but after he checked the secret grid again, he still did not see a reply.

Next, Li Ruan didn't sleep well all night, originally thought that he would receive a reply the next day, and again deliberately left the room for a whole day, but when he returned to the room the next night to investigate the secret grid, he still did not receive a reply.

After tonight, the court will reopen! It stands to reason that Zhao Junchen should reply to him no matter what!

So, Li Ruan was in a hurry!
