Chapter 10: The Inner King and the Outer Saint
Hokage Building.
Fugaku, who looked hurried, regained his form and expression, and knocked on the door of the Hokage's office with some trepidation, he still didn't know if the Hokage would agree to his resignation from the job of receiving the Yunyin Mission.
If you can't quit, it's a lot more troublesome.
"Enter."
An old but neutral voice came from the office, and Fuyue pushed the door in.
Sarufei Ri Slash sat behind his desk and handled his official business, and there was a pile of documents and files comparable to a mountain on the table, keeping Sarufei Ri Chop tightly behind.
Dealing with official business, Ape Fei Ri raised his head, looked at the visitor, and asked, "It's Fuyue."
It's not time to report yet, but the work of the security department is the top priority, and the safety of the villagers is at stake and the justice of Konoha is at stake.
You don't go to the security department, come to me old man for something. ”
"Hokage-sama."
Fu Yue hesitated, but still chose to go straight to the point: "I want to resign from the job of receiving the Yunyin Mission. ”
As soon as these words came out, Ape Feiri's eyelids suddenly jumped, and after a moment of silence, he put down the document in his hand, and said kindly: "I volunteered yesterday, but today I regret it, do you have any new doubts?"
Let's listen to it, let the old man understand your thoughts, maybe it can give me some inspiration. ”
"Yes."
Fuyue nodded respectfully, stood forward, and approached Ape Fei Hiza in a restrained and respectful manner, explaining, "I did have some new thoughts last night.
I think that yesterday, when you asked for your opinions, I took the initiative to recommend the bar and inn of my life to you.
Entertaining VIPs with the best venue in Konoha is no problem. In the future, when any daimyo wives and aristocratic celebrities visit Konoha, we can still arrange them in the inn for a lifetime.
But the Yunyin Mission, it is not suitable.
Although we have decided to form an alliance now, they have been against us until then, and the second Hokage-sama has died at their hands.
Placing them at the best inn in Konoha may make the villagers unhappy. ”
"Oh~"
Ape Feiri slashed a long groan and suddenly realized, "You mean, we should treat the Yunyin Mission harshly and give them a dismount?" ”
"It doesn't have to be that way."
Fugaku was taken aback by Sarutobi's remarks about slashing the diode, and hurriedly added, "I think maybe we can compromise and not treat it favorably or harshly. ”
"So where do you think the scale of compromise is?" Ape Fei asked with a smile.
Fu Yue was speechless for a while, this scale is really difficult to grasp, after all, this is not an exact value.
"Bo Ertu can't be a rabbit, and looking ahead will only achieve nothing."
Ape Feiri patted Fu Yue on the shoulder and taught earnestly: "If you want to formulate a compromise plan, have you ever thought about the consequences of different plans?"
Preferential treatment of the Yunyin Mission may indeed cause dissatisfaction among the villagers, but it can maximize the favor of the Yunyin Mission and avoid the possibility of extraneous complications in the alliance ceremony.
Treating the Yunyin Mission harshly is the opposite, gaining the favor of the villagers will make the Yunyin Mission dissatisfied.
If you want to compromise, then you are likely to offend both parties at the same time, that is, you will not be able to gain the trust of the villagers and you will lose the favor of the Cloud Hidden Mission.
What kind of consequences do you think we can afford? ”
Wrong.
Fu Yue's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he always felt that the idea of the ape flying sun slash was not quite right, but if he wanted to say what exactly went wrong, Fu Yue couldn't answer, after all, the ape flying sun slash was also for the good of the village.
If you are here all your life, you will definitely be able to see what the problem is.
The inner king and the outer saint, the ape flying and slashing this move is a typical idea of the inner king and the outer saint.
In ancient times, self-cultivation was the highest ideal of self-cultivation, which was the supreme virtue of the internal saint, and when it was applied externally, it was the government of the king, that is, the inner saint and the outer king.
In many cases, however, it is the other way around.
Every year, he made an annual contribution to the Jin State, exchanged the protection fee for a moment of peace, and was finally destroyed by the Liao State. and the Tatar Qing that measures the material resources of China and the joy of the country.
They are all typical representatives of "outer saints".
Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then sleep peacefully. Looking at the four realms, and the Qin soldiers are at the top. The land of the princes is limited, the insatiable desire of the tyrannical Qin, the multiplicity of dedication, and the more urgent the invasion.
Su Xun, a literati of the Song Dynasty, one of the Three Sus, and one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, once criticized this kind of external sainthood in the "Treatise on the Six Kingdoms".
Fu Yue thought about it for a long time, but still felt that it was a little inappropriate to treat the envoys of other countries harshly to the villagers of Konoha and persuaded him again: "I don't think the risk is too great.
If it is just because the reception specifications do not reach the top level, Yunyin Village will regret it, then it can be seen that Yunyin Village's willingness to form an alliance with us is not very strong.
If they're taking this alliance seriously, then I think they'll be able to tolerate it even if we're being harsh. Besides, we don't intend to treat them harshly. ”
"The risk is not big, which means that there is still a risk." Ape Fei Ri Slash concluded.
"There are some risks, but if something goes wrong, I'm willing to take it." Fugaku made a package ticket.
Everything is risky, and the compromise plan will definitely have some more possibilities for extraneous branches than the wish plan, at least Fuyue and Sarutobi think so.
"Can you afford it?" Ape Fei Ri asked calmly.
Fuyue was speechless again.
Yes, if there is really any accident that causes Yun Yin to be dissatisfied with Konoha and start a sword again, it will inevitably involve the already tired Konoha in the war again.
This responsibility can only be shouldered by the Hokage.
And now, Ape Fei Ri is not willing to take on this responsibility.
"After the Third Shinobi War, we have experienced too much. The Rebellion of the Nine-Tails, the sacrifice of the Mizumon couple, the defection of Orochimaru, and the departure of Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Konoha has gone through hardships to finally rebuild in the ruins, this peace is not easy to come by, Fugaku, I don't want to break this tranquility with my own hands. ”
Ape Feiri stood up, patted Fu Yue's shoulder, and said amiably and comfortingly: "Keep the original plan unchanged, Fu Yue, this job will be handed over to you."
I believe that if it were you, you would be able to handle the tail of the hand well and minimize the risk of public opinion. ”
……
Fugaku, who was in a trance, left the Hokage's office and looked up at the sky, the sky was dim, and the rising morning sun was covered by a haze that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.
He already understood the Hokage's thoughts: if he had to lose power and humiliate the country, then let the Uchiha's people do it.
In the office, Ape Feiri's expression gradually turned cold, and he knocked on the table.
"Hokage-sama."
A member of the dark department who was always protecting the safety of Ape Fei Ri Slash suddenly appeared, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head to listen to Ape Fei Ri Slash's order.
"Yesterday's Uchiha meeting must have happened to something, go and inquire about what it is that makes our head of the security department so upside down."
"Yes."
"Also, don't let anyone who shouldn't know about this matter."
"Yes."
