Yan Xiaolou raised his eyes and looked at Fu Xiaoguan, thinking to himself how he would answer?

Yan Xiwen frowned and pondered, thinking that if his grandfather asked him, how would he answer?

Fu Xiaoguan also restrained his expression and became serious, thinking that this leek was really unlucky in any era.

He didn't expect Yan Beixi to ask this question, this is not the relationship between leeks and weeds, but the current situation he is facing.

He didn't speculate about the answer Yan Beixi wanted, and after a few breaths, he opened his mouth.

"Mencius. There are clouds, fish, I want it, and the bear's paw is what I want; You can't have both, and you can't give up the fish and take the bear's paw. This is Mencius's choice, as for Yan Zai's question, the junior official thought that if the soil was already barren, it would be better to ignore it, and when the winter solstice came, a big snow cabbage was gone, and the grass was gone, but it was all turned into fertilizer to improve the soil. But if the soil is already fertile...... Then let's weed slowly, as for the leeks that will hurt, this is inevitable, but the final result is good, and the remaining leeks will grow more vigorously. ”

This sentence is quite exquisite, he starts with a fish and a bear's paw, indicating the relationship between trade-offs, which means that the sage can only choose one of them, then Yan Zai you can only make a choice.

Now that the corruption of the imperial court is extremely serious, His Majesty has obviously made a choice, as a country under one person and above ten thousand people, he naturally needs to follow in His Majesty's footsteps and make the right choice.

And if the soil he said is barren, it means that if the national strength is empty, it is better to leave it alone. This sentence is actually a bit rebellious, because if you leave it alone, you will wait for a heavy snow to wipe out the grass and vegetables, which means the decline of the Yu Dynasty.

Obviously, this is absolutely undesirable.

But this is another fact, just like an old tree that has long since decayed and its roots have rotted, even if you want to save it, it is impossible to save it. I could only watch it fall and watch new trees grow.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't know if Yu Chao was terminally ill now, but Yan Beixi definitely knew, so he still said it, it depended on Yan Beixi's own choice.

Yan Xiaolou thought about it carefully, she didn't quite understand what Fu Xiaoguan meant, she poured four cups of tea, handed them to her grandfather and Fu Xiaoguan, and looked at her grandfather, Yan Beixi's demeanor was also extremely serious at this moment.

Yan Xiwen glanced at Fu Xiaoguan obliquely, thinking that this guy's courage was big enough, if it was himself, he would definitely choose to get rid of the weeds.

As for the soil...... Everyone lives in this soil, so let's find a way to improve it slowly.

After a long time, Yan Beixi nodded, and did not express an opinion on Fu Xiaoguan's words.

"In the spring, I raised a lot of fish in that pond, and then planted lotus roots, and a lot of aquatic plants, hoping that these fish would live happily. I don't know when a few cats came, but they always went to the pond to catch fish when no one was looking, so there were fewer and fewer fish. For the sake of the fish, I got a dog in the hope that the dog would drive the cat away, but it turned out ...... This cat and dog are actually in a trap! ”

"Let me ask you, is it to drive away the cats? Or expelled from the dogs? ”

This is special, Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose again, and felt that this prime minister should become a monk, and he will definitely become a generation of monks.

What do you have to say?

It's just that you want to play this kind of edge, and the answer to this kind of question is very tiring, okay!

This means the situation that Yu Chao is facing today.

The Yu Dynasty is this pool, and those cats represent the other countries around the Yu Dynasty, and the dogs represent the armies of the Yu Dynasty.

In this way, it seems that the army of the Yu Dynasty also has problems, not only did they play the role of defending the country, but even colluded with other countries to encroach on the interests of the Yu Dynasty.

So Fu Xiaoguan didn't answer, but leaned over and asked very seriously: "Is it really so serious?" ”

"Not really."

That means it's a bit serious.

Fu Xiaoguan frowned, took a sip of the teacup, and said very simply: "I beat the dog and never look at the master, what does Yan Zai think?" ”

That's to hit the dog first!

Yan Beixi smiled noncommittally, these words didn't save him face, this kid is directly good, no wonder His Majesty wants to use him as a sword, it is indeed sharp, but it is too rigid and easy to break, in his opinion, this is not a good thing.

But after thinking about it, this huge Yu Dynasty, tens of thousands of officials up and down, if you can't quickly cut through the chaos and quickly eliminate all the dangers, once it falls into some kind of stalemate, then this Yu Dynasty will be really dangerous.

As a vested interest in Da Yu, Yan Beixi certainly didn't want problems in the Yu Dynasty, but in the same way, he didn't want Yan Valve's interests to suffer too much loss.

He has seen His Majesty's chess game clearly and understands that this year is the most critical year. Your Majesty will certainly straighten out the government. Thoroughly investigating disaster relief and embezzlement, and taking this opportunity to cut off the roots of the major forces, is only the first step, and the next step is ...... It will inevitably fall on this court.

As for why His Majesty would behead those people without trial, Yan Beixi can also see it clearly.

The border army is unstable!

Especially the Eastern Frontier Army!

And the commander of the Eastern Frontier Army is Yan Haochu, the third son of Yan Beixi!

Then if His Majesty wants to rectify the dynasty, he must first stabilize the border army, and the result is natural, either change the commander or ...... Slash the handsome.

In this regard, Yanbeixi must make a decision.

And there is only one way for him, to take the initiative to hand over the tiger talisman of the commander of the Eastern Frontier Army to keep Yan Haochu safe.

This is the most unwilling way for Yan Beixi, but he has no choice.

The position of the commander of the Eastern Frontier Army, it took a great deal of money and a long time to get it into the hands of Yan Valve, but now it has to be handed over, Yan Beixi's heart is extremely unwilling.

Just when he was full of thoughts, Fu Xiaoguan spoke.

"Since Lord Zaisuke-sama asked me two questions, I also take the liberty of asking you a question."

Yan Beixi raised his eyes to look at Fu Xiaoguan, and Fu Xiaoguan said in a good time: "I'm just giving an example, don't think too much about it. It is said that one day, General Yan, the commander of the Eastern Frontier Army, led his army to fight against the Red Feather Army of Yiguo on the Xima Plain......"

Yan Beixi frowned suddenly.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't care, and said: "Seeing that the war between the two sides is scorching, the outcome is difficult to decide. At this moment, Beiwangchuan of the Wu Dynasty shot General Yan with an arrow from a distance. This arrow hit General Yan's right arm, and this was a poisonous arrow. The generals asked General Yan to return to the city to heal his wounds, but General Yan held on to the battlefield because of the urgency of the war, until a few days later, when the Yi army was defeated and withdrew from Ximayuan. ”

Yan Beixi's old eyes stared at Fu Xiaoguan deadly, and his gaze was so sharp that the stove here seemed to be ineffective.

Yan Xiwen was shocked, and Yan Xiaolou was in a hurry.

They had never seen Grandpa's expression so harsh.

Fu Xiaoguan seemed to be unconscious, and he said again: "After returning to the city triumphantly, General Yan found a doctor, and after reading it, the doctor asked General Yan a word. ”

"What the doctor asked was: this poison has been terminal, if you want to treat it, there are two options, one is to scrape the bone to cure the poison, which will be very painful, and it will hurt for a long time, and the advantage is to save the right arm. The second is to cut off his right arm, which hurts so much, but I am afraid it will not be too convenient to lose a hand in the future. So how does the general choose? ”

Fu Xiaoguan looked at Yan Beixi's gaze and did not back down at all.

"Then the junior official, may I ask Lord Zaisuke, how does Lord Zaisuke choose?"

Yan Beixi suddenly smiled, the sharpness in his eyes disappeared, he took a deep breath, took a sip of the teacup, and looked out the window.

The sun outside the window is just right, and the plum blossoms are gorgeous.

"My granddaughter Yan Xiaolou was married yesterday and has no marriage contract yet."

Yan Beixi did not answer Fu Xiaoguan, but said such a sentence inexplicably.

Yan Xiaolou blushed suddenly, but Fu Xiaoguan was startled.

He gasped, and before he could speak, Yan Beixi turned a corner again, "Zhongshu Province is now lacking a counselor, and the Privy Council is also lacking a scholar in charge of the military. ”

He stood up, walked out with his hands behind his back, and said as he went: "Good birds choose trees to perch, you are a smart man, I hope to get your answer before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." ”

The old man with the big knife on his back didn't look up at Fu Xiaoguan until this moment, and of course, Fu Xiaoguan also glanced at him.

The eyes of the two collided in the air, and although there were no sparks, Fu Xiaoguan clearly felt a fierce killing intent.

The old man with the knife on his back followed Yan Beixi and walked out, and the moon was quiet, only the charcoal fire in the stove occasionally made a crackling sound.

After a long time, Yan Xiwen shook his head and said, "You shouldn't take my third uncle as an example. ”

Fu Xiaoguan nodded in acknowledgement, and did not tell Yan Xiwen that there are some things, only the pain of the skin can make him, the grandfather, really face it.

Of course, the example given by Fu Xiaoguan has a deeper meaning.

In the first year of Xuanli, Qin Tong's eastern border army fought with the Yiguo Hongling Army in Ximayuan, according to Bai Yulian, they repaired on the border of the Yu Dynasty after breaking out of the siege, but Qin Tong was killed by an arrow from Beiwangchuan, a martial saint of the Wu Dynasty.

Bai Yulian said that it was the old lady Fei who went to Beijing to invite Beiwangchuan to move Beiwangchuan with a sun-breaking divine bow, killed Qin Tong, and set that battle as a big defeat. Then the Eastern Frontier Army was mobilized, and the former commander Fei Bang entered the court as the secretary of the military department, and Yan Haochu, the third son of Yan Beixi, served as the commander of the Eastern Border Army.

The second meaning of Fu Xiaoguan's question is to see if Qin Tong's death has the shadow of Yan Beixi, because no matter how you think about it, Yan Valve has the greatest benefit from that incident.

This is grass, as for whether it can startle the snake, Fu Xiaoguan doesn't know.

He only knew that this was very risky, this was not a small snake, this was a giant python!

But he still asked like this, because he knew that His Majesty would definitely want him to do this, but he didn't expect Yan Beixi to extend an olive branch to him again, and it was extremely tempting.

He looked at Yan Xiaolou and told the truth, this girl is really a stunner.

But he didn't dare to take the olive branch handed by Yan Beixi, because it was poisonous.

It could be poisonous!
