Eighty-seven, the threshold effect
The next morning, Li Ye called Ji Chunsheng and asked him to follow Wei Yubai. He also specifically told him to take action if he met someone who was provoking trouble, and not let Wei Yubai get involved.
Ji Chunsheng was the front teeth general of King Xiao’s tent. He followed King Xiao from time to time, so he naturally knew the Wei family and knew Wei Yubai. When Wei Yubai was a child, he taught her martial arts in Guanbei, just like an uncle.
When Lord Wei was suffering, he was also worried and depressed, but he had no choice but to do anything. He was just the head of the small courtyard guard in Prince Xiao’s Mansion. So what could he do? He could only watch Lord Wei fall into trouble and listen to the slander of the people in the capital.
Today, the prince suddenly asked him to protect the eldest lady of the Wei family and was naturally very happy, so he agreed immediately.
......
Li Ye knew in his heart that if someone wanted to target Wei Chaoren, he might have done something next, because he often asked his subordinates to do this in later generations, and he was more professional than anyone else.
The gangsters who rush to the sky and explode in the film and television dramas made a date and place to gather on the street, and then said a few domineering and beautiful words were either fools or gangsters, afraid that the police would not come to arrest them. Their truly organized and disciplined gangsters would not do this.
Generally speaking, if you want to kill a person, then you will break it into pieces, disperse the personnel, reduce the target, and then keep provoking the other party by saying and provoking. It is best to let the other party take action first and then take action ruthlessly.
In this way, even if someone calls the police and is discovered by the police, it is difficult to define whether it is a civil dispute or a criminal case. The police are not gods, so they cannot know the details. At that time, the husband says that the mother has reason and the mother is right. If he deliberately hurts someone, it can be said that it is a dispute between the corners of his mouth and causes a fight. The mediation will be completed.
Many things are like this and it is difficult to define, but this is a loophole that can be seen by the underworld and politicians.
Now Li Ye is afraid that someone will use this method to deal with Wei Yubai. She is a murderer on the battlefield and is used to life and death. If someone uses rogue moves to deal with her, he will be deceived if he makes mistakes. I am afraid that the yamen runners will be waiting as soon as they understand. At that time, they will become political saliva and pour them all on Wei Chaoren.
But Ji Chunsheng is different. He is the head of the royal palace guard. If the other party dares to provoke, just take action. If someone dares to gossip and wants to spread rumors, Li Ye will be detained for any crime of "violating the majesty of the royal family". The other party can't handle it at all, so he can only admit that he was beaten for nothing.
Li Ye doesn't want such a thing to happen, but if someone really wants to use this kind of water section, it can only be said that they are too young.
Then Li Ye took Ji Chunsheng to the yard where Wei Yubai lived. Early in the morning, Wei Yubai had already gotten up early to wash and dress up and waited for him. After seeing Ji Chunsheng, he was so excited that he performed the master-apprentice ceremony. After all, he hadn't seen him for many years. Li Ye told Wei Yubai that if someone provoked him, he would never take action, just let Ji Chunsheng take action.
Although Wei Yubai was a little unbelievable and did not understand his intention, he still nodded and wrote down, and repeatedly promised that Ji Chunsheng would take action if he encountered any problems.
Li Ye then said seriously: "Next, I will teach you how to convince He Zhao. You can write it down one by one, and then you will do what I say."
As soon as he heard the point, Wei Yubai nodded quickly, looking serious and ready to listen.
"First of all, you must forget about saving Lord Wei in the next few days. Even if you can't forget, you must remind yourself in your heart that you are not talking and doing things to save Lord Wei." Li Ye said.
"Criminal, but I came to the capital to save my father..." Wei Yubai said in confusion.
"Anyway, listen to me first. Even if you can't forget, I will remind myself in my heart at all times. Do you understand?" Li Ye looked at her and said seriously. Seeing his serious expression, Wei Yubai finally nodded and agreed.
Li Ye then continued, "Then what you want to do today is still going to He's mansion. If you go alone, don't take Wei Xingping, Uncle Ji will be with you.
Don’t give gifts at that time, don’t mention anything related to Lord Wei. You should consider the people in Guanbei. Just ask him to speak in the court, and say that the land of Guanbei is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and it will take dozens of days for the governor to take office. Now the end of the year is approaching. If the governor of Xiaguanbei is not appointed early, he is afraid that he will not be able to take office in the beginning of next spring. If the Liao people go south, hundreds of thousands of people in Guanbei will suffer. Please ask him to ask the emperor to decide the governor of Xiaguanbei early for the early court in order to make the people in Guanbei early court."
After hearing this, Wei Yubai was stunned and frowned and said, "What does this have to do with saving his father?"
"Have you forgotten what I said to you? You must forget about rescuing Lord Wei these days, and remind yourself that if you have something to think about, your words will be biased and there will be flaws. You will not be able to save Lord Wei." Li Ye held her shoulder and stared at her eyes and reminded him seriously.
After he said this, Wei Yubai nodded slowly.
"I know you have extra worries and doubts, but the end of the year is approaching, and now you have no choice but to believe me, so just take a gamble and believe it to the end." Li Ye said.
Wei Yubai hesitated for a while and finally focused on the key point: "I understand, what will the prince say in the future I will do this."
Li Ye nodded: "Go, He Zhao should just leave now."
Wei Yubai clasped his fists and then left the yard with Ji Chunsheng.
......
Seeing her obedient and far away back, Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared the most was that Wei Yubai did not do what he said. After all, it was a matter of life and death. Everyone would have the worries. Now it seems that Wei Yubai is also a decisive person, dares to gamble and fight.
How to turn an ordinary person into a murderer? In the eyes of ordinary people, it seems impossible or very difficult, but for the masters of psychology, this is just a matter of probability and is not difficult in theory.
There is a famous psychological effect called the "threshold effect".
To give an example: If you are asked to climb a ten-meter-high platform from the flat ground without any tools, many people feel helpless when they see this height, so they cannot go up, so they choose to look up and wait.
But some people will keep hinting that I am not on the ten-meter high platform, but I am only on ten centimeters. Ten centimeters is a very simple thing, and I can do it easily. So soon he digs the soil and builds a step, easily making himself ten centimeters taller than others.
Then I thought that it was ten centimeters, and it might not be difficult to get it again, so another ten centimeter... When many ten centimeters accumulated, someone had already reached the high platform, and the height between him and the waiter was already very different.
The most important thing that causes these gaps is the first step, that is, the threshold. The reason why observers wait and see is because they have not crossed the "threshold" and have not created the first step.
This is the threshold, also known as the effect of gaining momentum.
Once a person accepts the insignificant requirements of others, in order to avoid cognitive inconsistency and maintain consistency, he will continue to accept the requirements. This phenomenon is like climbing one step at a time when climbing the doorstep, which can make it easier and smoother to climb to a high place.
But the key is that He Zhao didn't know that he was plotted, so Li Ye couldn't let Wei Yubai know the plan, for fear that she would reveal her flaws.
