Chapter 16 The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook
The Su family is a big family in charge of military horses, but all the big officials who are in charge of weapons, grain, grass, military horses and so on, always seem to be superior to others. This article was written by...... Starting
The status of the Su family's military horses is remarkable, and since the founding of the Ming and Qi dynasties, they have all been obedient and obedient. The same is true for Ping Nan Bo Su Yu. In his opinion, the Su family is full of flowers, and it will inevitably last for a long time. Perhaps loyal ministers will have such an idea, as long as they do things loyally, the royal family will definitely not treat him badly.
It's just that since ancient times, the king has been like a tiger, and who can say anything about the things in this world?
Su Yu is not confused when he is young, and he is also affectionate with his wife, although there are several concubines, and all the concubines born are daughters. There were only two sons-in-law, so the education of his sons was always very strict.
The eldest son, Su Mingfeng, has joined the ranks at a young age, and he is still in charge of the power of the military horse department like him, and he has even done better than Su Yu in the past six months. Some time ago, Su Mingfeng discussed with the veterinarians of Tai Hospital to reform some rules and regulations for military horses, and the number of military horses that died due to horse plague every year was reduced by half, which was a great achievement. Only after the statistical feedback of the military horses of the DPRK and China next month, Su Mingfeng will inevitably be rewarded for this.
The reward is secondary, primarily the glory it represents. Su Yu is already over the age of doubt, and now that Su Mingfeng is just the right age, it is time for his son to inherit his father's business and expand Su Mingfeng's fame. If Su Mingfeng is more outstanding, he may become a confidant left to the next prince.
The eldest son is so good, Su Yu is naturally happy, but the younger son gives him a headache. It was about the youngest son Su Minglang who got it when his wife was quite old, and his wife was very pampered in order to develop a pampered temperament. Mo said that he was as good as his eldest son, but he always seemed to lag behind among his peers.
Originally, Su Minglang was not the eldest son, so naturally he didn't have to inherit the position of the son, so it didn't matter if he was stupid. But Su Yu is a stubborn character, where can he tolerate his own son at all. So every time I came back from Guangwentang to take the homework, the youngest son reprimanded him, and his wife took care of him.
No, on this day, Su Yu was discussing things with Su Mingfeng in the study. Father and son have endless topics to talk about military horses. Master Su is proud, he gave birth to such an excellent son, what is there to be dissatisfied with. As he spoke, he said that next month's reward for Su Mingfeng would come down.
"In my opinion, Your Majesty must be an official this time. Jewelry rewards or anything for the time being, Dad just hopes that your career will be more stable. Now that the Huns are ready to move, the power of military horses needs to be paid more attention. Ming Feng, as long as you get His Majesty's attention, our Su family will only go further and further in the future. Your younger brother is young, and the Su family still needs you to carry the beam. ”
Su Mingfeng nodded yes. He was a teenager, and there was righteousness between his eyebrows. However, there was a hint of pride in his eyes, and the young man was the most competitive period. What's more, it is the affirmation from his father, that is, he has always been calm and calm in the affairs of officials, and he is also happy at the moment.
The father and son were both in a good mood, so they heard the little guy shouting outside the door: "Master, the second young master is back." ”
It was when Second Young Master Su Minglang got out of school. Every day when Su Minglang gets out of school, he will be called to Master Su's study to test his homework, and today is no exception.
Master Su pressed his forehead with a little headache, looked at the excellent eldest son, and then looked at the second son who was stupid like a pig, it was really funny. Su Minglang came to the study every day, and in the end, he would only turn Su Yu's angry people on their backs.
It's the same today.
Su Minglang slowly entered the study, pursed the corners of his mouth, and called, "Dad, big brother." ”
He's like a round ball, silly and cute. Su Mingfeng smiled and touched his brother's head: "Minglang, I'm okay in the school today." ”
Su Minglang pursed his lips and didn't speak. Every time he does that, it means, it's not good, it's not good at all. I was reprimanded by my husband.
Master Su had a straight face and said to Su Minglang: "Stretch out your palm." ”
Su Minglang shrank for a moment, stretched out his hand aggrievedly, and saw that there were a few red marks in the white and tender palm, what were the traces of not being hit by the board?
Master Su looked like he had expected it a long time ago, but Su Mingfeng felt a little sorry for his younger brother and asked, "Why did this gentleman hit so hard, but he was just a child." ”
"It's because you're so pampered all day long that you spoil him!" Old Man Su was furious when he heard this, and said angrily: "What went wrong today." ”
Xiao Su Minglang paused, and then squirmed and said: "Mr. asked me to silence the four words of the rabbit and the dead fox, and I can't be silent......"
"You let me say what you are good about!" Master Su looked distressed: "You can't even say a word, look at some young masters as big as you, which one is like you." When your eldest brother was so old, he began to learn military horses. My Su family's face is about to be lost by you!"
Su Mingfeng was about to persuade him, but he heard his second brother twitch and say: "Although I can't silently say the four words of rabbit death and fox sorrow, but I silently come out and cook six words of cunning rabbit dead lackey, and there are two more words to say." Since they all mean the same thing, isn't it the same to say that the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks?"
"Nonsense. "Master Su just didn't know what to say. Su Mingfeng smiled and said, "Second brother, don't these two words mean the same thing?"
"What does that mean?" asked Su Minglang with a small face.
"Rabbit Dead Fox Sadness means that the rabbit dies and the fox feels sad that he has the same fate. The meaning of the cunning rabbit is that the rabbit dies, so the hunting dog used to hunt has no value and is cooked. It means that once there is no use value and cannot be used for profit, those tools can be discarded. The cunning rabbit dead lackey cooking is somewhat similar to crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Su Mingfeng is a good brother, and he patiently answers his brother's questions.
But Su Minglang shook his head, still confused and said, "Since it's all something that happens after the rabbit dies, shouldn't it be exactly the same." After all, the rabbit is dead. ”
Su Mingfeng was about to explain, but when he saw his father's expression suddenly pause, he repeated softly: "The rabbit is dead?"
"Yes," Su Minglang spread his palms, and his chubby face still had an innocent and stubborn expression: "It's all rabbits that die." Doesn't this mean that if the rabbit dies, the fox and the dog will be unlucky? Since everyone is going to be unlucky, these words don't mean the same thing. ”
The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook, naturally they are all rules. The reason why a fable is an allegory is that there must be a great truth that it presents in life.
The rabbit is dead, and the fox is smarter than the dog and can probably see the end of itself. But who is the hound, and what is the end of the dog that helps his master hunt rabbits?
Su Yu's expression gradually sank
