Li Chen raised his teacup and took a sip, saying nonchalantly, "How did you know I was thinking of King Ning"
"Sān Bǎo chuckled with glee and said, “Your Highness is truly wise. Such a simple matter couldn't possibly be beyond your comprehension. I fear that even during the early court session that day, Your Highness had already considered every step that followed. As for Yēlǜ Shén Xuán, no matter how skilled he may be, what with his extraordinary birthdate and celestial omens, in front of Your Highness, he is but a trifle."
"Flattery."
Li Chen let out a scoff and then said, "Unintelligent people just blurt out whatever comes to mind without considering the situation or the person they're talking to. That's why they often end up causing trouble for themselves."
"Intelligent people are perceptive, able to read between the lines and see through things without revealing their understanding. This allows them to protect themselves wisely, avoid unnecessary conflict, and ultimately achieve great things."
"People who are more intelligent know when to speak and when to say things that might appear inappropriate but ultimately have a positive effect. He Kun, despite only holding a few ranks as an official, dared to suggest using the King of Ning. If this were to spread, every other feudal prince would want to execute him as a warning to others."
"As a subordinate," San Bao whispered softly, "one's role is to shield their master from both overt and covert attacks."
Li Chen remained noncommittal on this.
If He Kun's performance could be described as a talented young prospect, then San Bao is already a seasoned master.
This old geezer is deeper than anyone else.
If not for the constraints of his eunuch status, this guy would undoubtedly be Zhao Xuanji's number one rival in court. It could even be said that Zhao Xuanji's existence wouldn't necessarily matter without him.
"Although He Kun guessed this palace's intentions, he was only right half the time. This move requires another step forward."
Upon hearing this from Li Chen, Sanbao cooperated very well and asked curiously, “Which step”
Li Chen said angrily, “You have a clear conscience. Why bother with this How did you get on finding people from the Jin Kingdom”
San Bao said hurriedly, “Found it, found it! Your Highness's orders, I dare not neglect. I have already found the head of intelligence for the Jin Nation in the capital.”
"Where is he" Li Chen asked again.
"He's waiting outside." said Sanzang.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanzhao immediately realized that he had been tricked by Li Chen again.
"You say your heart belongs to this Palace, as clear as a mirror You know everything I'm about to do, don't you" Li Chen sneered.
With a light yet firm pat on her own mouth, Three Treasures said, "Your Highness is too profound. A servant girl cannot fathom your thoughts and dares not even guess."
No superior likes their subordinate to be completely out of sync with them, requiring every detail to be spelled out.
Compared to such fools, superiors detest subordinates who know them too well. Absolutely no superior would like a subordinate who understands their every thought. This instantly gives the superior murderous intentions.
Sambao's cleverness lies in demonstrating the "understanding" between himself and the Lord, but he was cleverly tricked by Licheng in a way.
This is the fundamental difference between him and He Kun in terms of their rank.
He Kun's intelligence, so far, has only been small cleverness.
Perhaps it's a bit like saying someone is "wise but appears foolish."
This is also why Li Chen likes to use the Three Treasures.
In Li Chen's view, within the Donggong Group, apart from Zhou Ping'an, it would be difficult to find another person who could match San Bao in terms of intelligence.
Chen Tong, Xu Changqing and others were beaten up.Chapter 750: Scolding the Empress
