What the hell?
This guy Zhao Zhen wants to punish me?
This is different from what I originally thought.
Zhao Jun was confused.
I am so important, why is the other party so unfriendly?
Isn’t Zhao Zhen afraid of offending himself and not helping him to strengthen the country in the future?
Or was I wrong from the beginning?
I overestimated Zhao Zhen.
These people in the Song Dynasty are completely rotten to the core and have no intention of escaping their fate.
Regardless of whether the Song Dynasty will perish in the future, just start to play badly?
Now because he insulted Zhao Zhen and his father and grandfather, he decided to just throw the jar into chaos and prepare to vent his anger by punishing himself first?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Zhao Jun's mind. His thoughts changed, causing him to frown involuntarily, and then he glanced at Yan Shu next to him.
Yan Shu looked anxious and kept winking at Zhao Zhen, as if telling him not to push him too hard.
I understand.
Zhao Jun immediately understood.
This guy Zhao Zhen is a hopeless case.
Instead, he wanted to show his power to himself so as to establish his prestige and status in front of him in the future!
Or perhaps, he had insulted him too many times before, and Zhao Zhen was probably still holding back a lot of anger that he wanted to release here.
really.
Emperors in feudal society were all tigers that ate people without blinking an eye.
Even the weak-willed Song Renzong Zhao Zhen only pretended not to eat meat, but he was still a tiger in essence.
It seems that today will not end well.
After figuring this out, Zhao Jun's high-IQ brain started working quickly.
The reason why we didn’t realize that this was the Song Dynasty before was because we had a huge cognitive impairment. No one would believe that they had traveled through time without being able to see with their own eyes.
But after breaking through this barrier, many things can be figured out, and the brain becomes more flexible and full of wisdom.
The current situation is that I don’t want to be like others and be a dog for Zhao Zhen.
I not only want to stay in power but also make money. I want to snatch the power from Old Zhao and maybe even usurp the throne and become the boss in the future.
Zhao Zhen thought he could tame himself and acted too arrogantly, which was obviously a bit lacking in self-awareness.
It's not good to just contradict him right away.
No matter how soft Zhao Zhen's character was, he was still the emperor after all. If he was directly confronted in a way that made him lose face, it would be a big problem and he would have no good life in the future.
It may even lead to his inability to gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty in the future.
The feudal era was still the feudal era after all. I was lucky enough to live in the Song Dynasty instead of the early Ming Dynasty. If it were Zhu Yuanzhang, I would have been skinned to death long ago.
However, it is not easy to pass this level.
You must use clever ways to overcome this crisis and successfully get what you want.
Zhao Jun felt that his mind was extremely clear at this time, and he quickly thought of three countermeasures.
"From the perspective of the easiest way to achieve cooperation, the probability of success, and the degree of risk, there are three strategies: the best, the middle, and the worst."
"The best strategy is to give in. Zhao Zhen's character is kind and benevolent, but to put it bluntly, he's easily influenced. A few flattering words should put this matter behind us."
"Then, according to the normal plot development, I kowtowed and apologized. In order to show his magnanimity, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said it was a small matter. Then he began to arrange my life."
"The middle strategy is to play dumb and avoid all the flattering. Just pretend you don't understand what he's saying, then put on a little show. It shouldn't be a problem if you can just figure out how to fool him."
"If we just do this, trying to fool him with simple methods may not work. We need to come up with a foolproof plan that neither offends him nor appears too flattering."
"The worst option is to just stand firm and continue to fight them to the end, even directly insulting Zhao Zhen and blasting him to death."
"It's just that this is a bad idea that doesn't give Zhao Zhen face. Falling out with him won't help my current situation. If Zhao Zhen gets angry and just kills me, that would be dangerous."
"So we have to strike the best of both worlds: neither too humble nor too aggressive."
"If it's the best strategy, the success rate is undoubtedly the highest. As long as you learn from Yan Song and flatter Zhao Zhen, you might get a high position and a high salary in the future, become a leader in the Song Dynasty, and enjoy a different life."
'The only problem is that I put myself too low.'
"Besides, I've been degrading the Song Dynasty enough lately. If I kneel down and surrender now, wouldn't that mean I'm a worthless wimp? Who would respect me then? Even if I wanted to be their dog, I probably wouldn't have any dignity."
"Also, I belittled the Song Dynasty for being weak, but after traveling to the Song Dynasty, I became weak myself. Isn't that really hypocritical? If I can't be strict with myself, how can I be strict with others?"
'No, I can't look down on myself. Even if I have no dignity, I can never kneel down and kowtow.'
"Then let's go with the middle strategy first. Just reject the best strategy. A man should have integrity. Even if he dies standing, he can't live on his knees. The worst strategy is too risky. It will easily embarrass Zhao Zhen and make the relationship too strained. The middle strategy is the most reliable."
'So. '
'How can I get away with this?'
Zhao Jun gradually had an idea in his mind.
The room was still silent at this moment.
No one spoke.
Zhao Jun seemed to be frightened by Zhao Zhen and stood there motionless.
But in just a few tens of seconds, countless thoughts and ideas flashed through his mind.
