The Sword of Six Doors Points at the Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 427 Relying on talent and letting go!

Everyone understands the truth that companionship is like companionship with a tiger. Don't show your intelligence in front of the emperor, otherwise you will die without knowing how you died.

There is such a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.This person is called 'Yang Xiu'.

'Yang Xiu' was a smart man, but later, he was killed by himself.

It is said that 'Yang Xiu' is a man who is proud of his talent and has repeatedly refused to give 'Cao Cao' face.

One day, Zuo Zuo invited 'Cao Cao' to see the garden he had just built for him to see what he needed to modify.

'Cao Cao' was quite satisfied after seeing the scenery in the garden.

However, when he reached the gate, he stopped and frowned slightly.The colleague didn't know why, but he took the pen from the attendant, wrote the word "living" on the door, and left without saying anything.

The people present didn't know what the prime minister meant, so they asked 'Yang Xiu', 'Yang Xiu' thought for a while and said, "The word 'huo' added to the door is a word for 'wide', the prime minister said that the door is too wide, should it be wide?" Make it narrower."

Therefore, the craftsmen made the door narrower according to what 'Yang Xiu' said. 'Cao Cao' was very satisfied after watching it, so he gave 'Yang Xiu' a mysterious smile.

This smile is very meaningful. The word "Cao Cao" was left to show off their talents. The craftsmen were puzzled, and then they would naturally ask the prime minister for advice.

But 'Yang Xiu' showed off, and he had to expose 'Cao Cao'. 'Cao Cao' didn't say anything on the surface, but this account was written down.

Another time, someone gave 'Cao Cao' a box of halva.

'Cao Cao' wrote "a box of crisps" on the box and put it on the table for everyone to see. No one else could understand what it meant. Only 'Yang Xiu' opened the box of crispy candy after reading it, The halva was distributed to everyone.

Some people worried that doing so would offend the prime minister. It so happened that 'Cao Cao' came out of the room and saw 'Yang Xiu' distributing crispy candies to everyone, so he said, "Why did you eat up all my candies?"

Everyone sweated for 'Yang Xiu', only to see 'Yang Xiu' said calmly: "The Prime Minister wrote 'a box of crisps' with his own handwriting, which means one bite of crisps per person, and I am executing your order." order." After hearing this, 'Cao Cao' didn't say anything, just laughed.

This is another smile, but the hatred for 'Yang Xiu' has deepened.

Just imagine, 'Cao Cao' left this box to share with everyone.When he comes, he will ask: Why don't you eat the halva I left for you?
Everyone would say they dare not, and then 'Cao Cao' would show off his talent and say: Didn't I write it clearly?One bite per person.It is meant to be distributed among the people.

However, 'Yang Xiu' was just too willing to play tricks, so he hated 'Cao Cao' one after another.

Later, there were many natural stories. For example, "Cao Cao" wanted to kill everyone in his dream to warn everyone not to get close to him when he was sleeping.But 'Yang Xiu' insisted on exposing it in front of everyone.

'Cao Cao' "the more evil it is".

Another time, 'Yang Xiu' told Cao Pimi to ask Wu Zhi, the head of court song, to enter the inner palace for discussion, but was framed by Wu Zhi.

And another time, 'Cao Cao' wanted to try the talents of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, but 'Yang Xiu' wanted to teach Cao Zhi how to do it, but 'Cao Cao' found out, which ruined the good thing of 'Cao Cao',' Cao Cao couldn't bear it any longer, and his desire to kill Yang Xiu became stronger and stronger.

But what made 'Cao Cao' have to kill 'Yang Xiu' was the "chicken rib" incident.

'Cao Cao' general 'Xia Houyuan' was killed by Huang Zhong. In order to take revenge, "Cao Cao" personally led an army of 20 to avenge Xia, not wanting to be defeated repeatedly.

On this day, 'Cao Cao' saw the chicken soup sent by the kitchen, and felt that the current battle situation was like gnawing chicken ribs, and he was reluctant to throw it away, as there was not much meat to eat.

At this time, General Xia Houdun came to ask for the night password, and 'Cao Cao' replied casually: "Chicken ribs! Chicken ribs!"

When the marching master 'Yang Xiu' heard this command, he immediately ordered the accompanying sergeant to pack up and prepare for the return journey.Xia Houdun asked why, "Yang Xiu" said: "From the password tonight, we know that the king of Wei is going to retreat. It's a pity to lose the meat. It's a pity to lose it. The current battle situation is just like this. If you can't win, you will laugh. , it is better to return early. I expect that the king of Wei will need a teacher in the future, so pack up your luggage first, so as not to panic when you leave."

After hearing this, Xia Houdun thought it made sense, so he packed it up too. 'Cao Cao' was furious when he found out, and beheaded 'Yang Xiu' for the crime of "disturbing our army's morale".

In fact, 'Yang Xiu' was right. In fact, 'Cao Cao' thought so, but he relied on his talents to let go, and often did not give his master a chance to show his talents, which eventually caused his death.

The same is true for Ye Xiuwen. As a modern person, Ye Xiuwen's wisdom is many times that of the ancients.

This is like a person standing on the shoulders of giants, and the scenery seen by ordinary people is different.

Just imagine, if you stand on the streets of the city and look with all your eyesight, how far can you see?

But in contrast, when you stand on a tall building hundreds of meters away and look into the distance, how wide is your vision?
So the vision is different, and the wisdom of a person is also different.Perhaps after letting Emperor Shengde live in the modern world for a period of time, he can pick it up at will and sort out the mess in front of him.

But anyway, Ye Xiuwen will not kill himself like 'Yang Xiu'.

Seeing that Emperor Shengde was thinking hard, he couldn't think of a solution.He couldn't say it out loud.Otherwise, it would appear that Emperor Shengde was too stupid.

So, he turned around in the imperial dining room a few times, and then deliberately clapped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."

"Hey, tell me quickly!" Emperor Shengde was very happy.

"Rong Chen came forward and spoke," Ye Xiuwen said.

"Hey, you Lord Ye? Could it be that our family can become a spy?" Eunuch Yu complained.

"Eh, that's not what Eunuch Yu meant. Only the emperor knows the rules." Ye Xiuwen smiled apologetically.

"Come on!"

Emperor Shengde doesn't care about that, as long as he can break through the puzzle in front of him, he will do whatever he wants.

Ye Xiuwen whispered in Emperor Shengde's ear, "Your Majesty, do this, do this, and do this again."

Ye Xiuwen said for a while, Emperor Shengde nodded frequently, with a look on his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this plan is very clever! Let's do it like this!"

"Hehe, as long as the emperor is satisfied, that humble official has retired," Ye Xiuwen bowed and retreated.

"Well, remember, do your best on the ring. If you lose to Zhang Jie, you must not be brave, and I will use you, do you understand?" Emperor Shengde added.

"Sir, take the lead!"

Ye Xiuwen bowed again and left with Yue'er.

But at the same time, Eunuch Yu said: "Your Majesty, this Lord Ye is really watertight?"

"Hmph! Don't worry about him for now. I'm currently employing people. If..."

Emperor Shengde said this, but swallowed the remaining half of the words.As the emperor, who is there beside him that he can really trust! .
