Chapter 52: Fish and Thorns
"Brother saw that scene a long time ago, why didn't you speak up earlier, I almost couldn't get up!" Xie Yu entered the private room, and rolled up his long sleeves to his elbows as he spoke, with that bold style, Wang Yu, who was watching, ridiculed: "Brother Yu'er's style is quite different!" ”
Xie Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's better to let my brother laugh, the military style, and not informal." ”
"Hahaha, it's so informal, I'm afraid that it will be an insult to the reputation of this festival to let the Xie family know!"
Xie Yu took a sip of tea, looked up and smiled: "Just because I love fame and cherish reputation, it is intimidating and difficult to achieve great things!" ”
Wang Yu's eyes lit up and clapped his hands and said: "Well said, Brother Yu'er refers to Sang and scolds Huai, alluding to being a brother!" ”
"Hehe, I didn't say that I can pay attention to the affairs of the four major families, and I still have a little bit of a heart for the people." Xie Yu said.
Wang Yu laughed heartily, the man came in, served six dishes and one soup, nodded and closed the wooden door, and the private room was immediately quiet.
Xie Yu picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of goldenrod (alfalfa) and put it in his mouth, chewed slowly: "I don't know what happened when my brother invited me?" ”
Wang Yu filled the wine glasses of both sides, raised them and said: "First respect Brother Yu'er Chuping Nandi, do it!" ”
"!"
The two of them looked up, and the crisp and spicy wine flowed down their throats.
"Since we talked about the four major families, I don't know if Brother Yu has found out!"
Xie Yu knew that this Wang Yu invited him to come just for this matter, and he had already prepared a draft, and as soon as the other party finished speaking, he continued: "There is indeed a thief!" ”
"Oh~" The tone rose, and Wang Yu's eyes flashed: "Then why don't you see the report!" ”
Xie Yu smiled and said, "What if it is played?" What if it doesn't work? ”
"At least let the government and the opposition know that Sun En's incident is not on his own." Wang Yu said.
"Since Sun En is dead, why bother to entangle these, Zhang, Gu two families govern the prosperity of Yan County, and the people are healthy, it is nothing more than that it is difficult for the family to do anything in their official careers, and the court pays heavy taxes, so they have this thought, if they are convicted of rebellion and collaborating with the enemy, won't it make the south more chaotic? The people are even more miserable! Isn't this a sprinkle of salt on the wound? ”
After hearing this, Wang Yu smiled unchanged: "Is this the golden mean of the courtiers?" ”
"That's it!" Xie Yu was a little strange at Wang Yu's expression, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Then dare to ask Brother Yu whether he is loyal to the saint or the court now?"
It sounds like it's all a problem, but in fact, this court is nothing more than an allusion to Sima Yuanxian.
"Whoever can make the world peaceful and the courtiers can display their ambitions, I will be loyal to whom!"
Wang Yu laughed and said: "If you can make the world peaceful and show your ambitions, you must be loyal to yourself!" ”
"What does my brother think?" Xie Yu kicked the question to the other party again.
Wang Yu clamped the fish meat, carefully separated the fish bones, and said with a smile: "The fish is alive, the meat and the thorns are inseparable, if the fish is cooked, the thorns and the meat must be separated, the meat can be full, and it can hurt people, the chopsticks applicator, they want to have both, I really don't know if they only care about their own pleasure, others also want to share the food, they are thin, others are strong, and they can't compete with each other, what should they do?" ”
Xie Yu stopped the chopsticks in his hand, Wang Yu's words alluded to the dispute between Sima Yuanxian and the King of Chu, as if he was mentioning to himself the choice of camp, and he did not know what to say, he made such a dumb speech, and his intentions were really profound, Wang Mi was pro-King Chu, and he must have foreseen the upcoming battle between the two powers, this Huangmen squire said this, and he clearly wanted to ask himself, when the war broke out, which side would he lean on.
"Ordinary people are around, why not watch the play." Xie Yu drank the wine slowly and spoke softly.
Wang Yu admires Xie Yu very much, every time he talks, he can gain a lot, this is also a very strange place for him, he is more than ten years older than the other party, but in the game, he not only wants to do his best for the broad career, but also thinks about who to rely on, in order to protect himself, why not watch the play, how calm it must be, to be able to say such words, so that his heart suddenly opened up.
"Thorns and flesh are inseparable, I'm afraid I can't watch the play quietly!" Wang Yu took a sip of food, looked at the wine glass and said.
Thorns represent the Xie Mansion, and the meat represents the Wangfu, these two big clans support half of the dynasty, even if you want to stay out of the matter, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Xie Yu laughed and said: "Since it is inseparable, it is better to watch the play together!" ”
"I'm afraid this thorn will hurt people immediately!" Wang Yu said as he circled his index finger on the wine glass.
"Oh~" Xie Yu spat out wine and smiled: "It seems that I have thought about it a long time ago, since I want to use this stab to hurt people, I also want to see if this stab is willing, maybe, I will hurt myself!" ”
Wang Yu looked up, his eyes were surprised.
Xie Yu smiled and shut up.
"But if you hurt yourself, it will inevitably affect the Quartet, and if the injury is too serious, won't you lose your roots?" Wang Yu hesitated for a long time, but still said it.
This is very reasonable, Wang Xie and his family have earned such prestige, it is nothing more than relying on the big tree of the Sima family, hurting the root system, the tree withered, and it is naturally not good to enjoy the shade, this is not a simple political struggle, but it is related to the development of the two ethnic groups.
How can Xie Yu not understand that he is really not optimistic about the strong alliance of Wang Xie and the two families, not to mention the narrow sense of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, just saying that he does not look at the general trend, just thinking about protecting himself and not seeking development, how can he be stronger, in fact, to put it bluntly, Wang Yu's knowledge is far beyond his reach, just because his ideas will not be limited to a specific circle, there will be unexpected statements, this is his advantage, and it is also a height that Wang Yu cannot reach in his life.
"Brother, don't you see that there's a big tree over there?" Xie Yu said.
"Change the tree?" Wang Yu's brows were a little tightened, and he muttered to himself.
"If my brother is not afraid of the heat, you can stay away, cover a pergola and take a look, after the storm, there will be a leafy branch, and it will not be too late to go when the time comes!" Xie Yu reminded.
Wang Yu squinted his eyes and sighed, "Can you?" ”
"Yes!"
"Now that you've seen it through, do you have a plan in your heart?" Wang Yu asked again.
Xie Yu nodded, without words.
Wang Yu can't be the master of the palace, and neither can Xie Yu, the two of them are sitting here, nothing more than discussing the situation in front of them, the four major families are not opposed, they can't communicate with the enemy, in fact, it is not their business, Sima Yuanxian and the King of Chu are fighting, this is the big thing in front of them, since Xie Yu has retreated, how can Wang Yu throw himself into the door.
This does not mean that Wang Yu was moved by Xie Yu's words, with his knowledge, this situation is naturally understood in his heart, and he does not rely on either side, maybe it is the real avenue that is hidden and watched from the wall.
"Brother Yu'er has such an achievement at such a young age, it is really intolerable!" Wang Yu seemed to have figured it out, and teased with a toast.
"My brother is so insightful to praise him like this!" Xie Yutian responded shamelessly.
"Hahahaha, it's really interesting, I'm here to celebrate Brother Yu'er's promotion and fortune!"
"Same respect, same respect!"
