"At a young age, don't make a fool of yourself!"

Xie Lingyun's reprimand is of course reasonable, anyone who sees Yuan Lai speak to the important ministers of the court in this tone must evaluate arrogance in their hearts!

Arrogance means not knowing how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, of course Yuan Lai knows how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, so of course he is not just playing tricks.

He pondered for a moment, looked at Xie Shiba, who was standing on the side and had never moved his position from beginning to end, and then said, "Junior, dare to tell a story." ”

Yuan Lai smiled, and without waiting for Xie Lingyun to speak, he said to himself: "Once upon a time, there was a grassland, and there was a shepherd on the grassland. The shepherd owned all the territory of the steppe as far as his eyes could see, and he kept a large flock of sheep, and in order to manage the flock he picked out three very strong rams. ”

Yuan's talent for telling stories is good, his voice is not slow, and the story is so simple that people can't help but listen to it.

So the shepherd made this arrangement, and he divided his flock into three groups, and the three rams each took charge of one flock, and he said to the rams that if he dared to meddle with the other two flocks, he would whip him. The whip is very intimidating, but a few sheep always have no control over their nature, and in any case will stretch out their hooves for the beautiful ewes of the other flock. So when one of them crossed the line, the shepherd would whip it, and if it didn't change, he would slaughter it and replace it with a new one to manage the flock. ”

In this way, the shepherd killed many of them, and one day a certain clever ram controlled his instincts with great perseverance, and never crossed the line, and at first the shepherd was very happy, and felt that this sheep was really sensible, especially compared with the other two rams, it was simply too honest. And so the wise sheep lived through one winter, and another winter...... One morning, a friend came to visit the shepherd, and the shepherd decided to slaughter a sheep to entertain his guests, so he took up his knife and slaughtered the clever sheep. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Caiwei was already engrossed, she was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yuan Lai, who closed her mouth with puzzled eyes.

"Why?" she asked.

Xie Shibai also looked at it curiously, but Xie Lingyun's face remained unchanged in the pavilion.

Yuan Lai continued: "The guest had heard the shepherd praise this clever sheep many times, and he also asked in bewilderment: Why should you kill the wisest sheep when there are so many sheep to kill?

The shepherd explained: "Because this sheep never makes mistakes, it always carries out my orders well, and it never makes mistakes because of instinct.

The guest asked: Then why did you kill it? What a good goat.

The shepherd replied: The power of the whip is limited, and it does not make mistakes at the beginning I can explain that it is more cowardly, and after that it does not make mistakes I can explain that it is more intelligent, but it has never made mistakes for so many years...... I'm thinking, such a sheep...... Is it still a sheep?

If it can completely overcome its instincts and never make mistakes, then it will not be a sheep, but a human, very intelligent person, and I certainly do not want to share my grassland with another person.

That's why I slaughtered it. ”

When Yuan finished speaking, he smiled faintly and set his eyes on Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun's face did not change, but his eyes suddenly became deeper, and his lips became clearer.

There was silence for a while, and then Xie Caiwei sighed softly, as if she had an understanding, Yuan Lai secretly glanced at Xie Eighteen and saw that this guy's face had changed, and he obviously understood the moral of the story.

Xie Lingyun didn't speak, and if he didn't speak, no one dared to speak.

Yuan is telling a story, but also a fable, which means referring to the way of the minister.

Throughout history, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, those in power have always learned the way of the emperor, and those who are ministers must master the way of being a minister, what is the way of a minister, that is, to let those in power know their importance and weight, but also to let them use themselves with confidence.

To put it simply: don't take it lightly, don't take it too seriously.

If you despise it, you will not be able to gain status, and if you attach too much importance to it, it will evolve into jealousy, and thus suppress.

Monarchs and ministers have always played a guessing game that knows each other, and what Yuan Lai is alluding to is the Wang Xie family.

It is not normal for Wuyi Lane to inherit for hundreds of years without dying, so it can be guessed that the emperor will definitely not really have any deep trust in this family with developed roots in the court and the opposition, Xie Lingyun of course knows this, and everyone in the Xie family knows this, so they began to be cautious, so they will oppose Xie Caiwei, the girl of the Xie family, to practice, for fear that the emperor will be suspicious of the family because of this.

This idea seems to be very correct and there is no problem, but Yuan Lai pointed out another hidden danger, that is, the emperor will not want his courtiers to be too smart, too smart, as the emperor may hope that the world is all idiots, only he is smart, but he will never hope that any powerful courtier is smarter than him.

People who never make mistakes are really scary, just like a dog that never barks can really bite.

Therefore, what Yuan Lai means is that it is a good thing for the Xie family to make a small mistake occasionally, and even if it is attacked by political enemies, it is even good if it is punished by the emperor.

After all, Xie Caiwei is a daughter, even if the emperor wants to beat the Xie family, the means will be relatively gentle, this kind of gentle punishment is not harmful to the Xie family, but Emperor Yu can let him vent his jealousy of this family a little.

Just like the river, if it is not channeled for a long time, it will collapse the embankment, just like a shepherd's whip, it is a good thing to be whipped twice occasionally, at least it will make the emperor comfortable.

Xie Caiwei understood, so she began to look at the young man who had been fished up from the river with surprised eyes.

Xie 18 understood, so he began to think quietly.

Xie Lingyun understood, so he finally began to look at Yuan Lai with a strange look, and exhaled: "At a young age, don't make a fool of yourself." ”

Before Yuan Lai spoke, he said: Don't be a fool at a young age!

Now that the story is finished, what Xie Lingyun said is: At a young age, don't be pretentious.

The former sentence is a scolding, the latter is a beating.

Yuan Laidun comprehended the Xuan, and said, "Uncle Xie taught me a lesson. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm a little tired, eighteen. Xie Lingyun moved his body, and the oppressive aura of his body suddenly dissipated.

"Huh?" Xie 18 was pulled back from his contemplation by his father's call, a little in a trance.

Xie Lingyun reprimanded with some dissatisfaction: "Concentrate your mind! Don't think nonsense, have you finished your schoolwork? Go and get busy with you, I'm going to rest." ”

Xie 18 didn't dare to refute, just nodded, and then hesitated a little: "That little sister ......"

"Take her with you. ”

Xie Lingyun dropped this sentence, then got up and walked out of the pavilion and out of the garden.

Xie Eighteen was stunned, and then his face was overjoyed!

Since Xie Lingyun didn't say anything more, that is, he decided to let Xie Caiwei's matter go, although he still couldn't say that he didn't support it, since he didn't care, then the rest of the uncles in the family couldn't say anything more.

Xie Caiwei's exam will not be hindered.

The girl was pleasantly surprised, but her personality made it difficult for her to cheer, and only her slightly trembling fingers could reveal her inner excitement.

She suddenly turned her head, looked at Yuan Lai with very serious eyes, and said, "Thank you." ”

"No, I don't. ”

"Thank you so much!"

Yuan Lai sighed and said with a smile: "I really don't need to, even if there is no me, your father will not really stop you." ”

Looking at the disbelief in the girl's eyes, Yuan Lai shook his head with a wry smile, and said softly: "Do you really think that your father doesn't know what I said? ”

"What do you mean?"

Yuan Lai chuckled, looked in the direction Xie Lingyun left, and said lightly: "Your father, it's an old fox." ”

"Who do you say is the fox!" Xie Caiwei pretended to be angry.

"Haha, how nice a fox is, it's fluffy and cute!"

"What do you mean?"
