Man Tanghong

Chapter 450 Must Give Certain Respect To Capable People
Xue Wanshu savored these words carefully, and after savoring them for a long time, he felt that they made sense, and immediately nodded and said, "That's true."

However, he didn't say anything more on this topic, because criticizing a big family, and being known by the big family, it is easy to be targeted, and criticizing the prince is a serious crime.

Li Yuanji didn't have any scruples in this regard, because he himself came from a wealthy family and was also the prince's brother. If he occasionally said something bad about the wealthy family and the prince, the wealthy family and the prince would only stare blankly when they knew about it.

This is the privilege given to Li Yuanji by his status, because Li Yuanji is relatively equal to them in terms of background and status.

Therefore, Li Yuanji is qualified to criticize them, to speak ill of them, and even to point their noses and scold their mothers.

No one else can.

Because whether it is a big family or a prince, they only accept criticism from people whose status is relatively equal to them, and only allow people who are relatively equal to them to speak ill of them.

Their status is not as good as theirs, and daring to speak ill of them means provocation in their eyes.

They will use their power and strength without hesitation to give the provocateur a thunderous blow in order to maintain their dignity.

This is why the aristocratic family cannot be offended and the imperial power cannot be challenged.

The Xue clan Xue Wanshu was born in is certainly not a weak clan, but compared to the five surnames Qiwang, even Sandou in Henan and the Yang clan in Guanzhong are far inferior.

So he didn't dare to unscrupulously criticize those big families like Li Yuanji.

Xue Wanshu is also a minister of the Li family and a servant of the Li family. He can only maintain respect for the young patriarch of the Li family and cannot criticize him.

Today I made a comment out of feeling, and said that Li Yuanji didn't yell at him because he wanted to maintain the dignity of the Li family, which was already a kind of luck for him, and a rare presumptuousness.

You must know that in this era when the clan is more important than everything else, any clan child has the responsibility to maintain the reputation and majesty of the clan when they are away.

As a descendant of the Li family, Li Yuanji should try his best to defend him when he heard someone criticize the young patriarch of the Li family, and he should fight hard.

As a direct descendant of the Li family, Li Yuanji not only failed to defend the young patriarch of the Li family, but also criticized him along with him, which is actually rare in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanji may not care whether the young patriarch of the Li family is criticized, or he may not care about the clan responsibilities imposed on him by the Li family, but Xue Wanshu has to care.

So he didn't talk about this topic too much, but talked about other things.

When it came to Li Yuanji's mood waning, he didn't want to listen anymore, so he found an excuse to leave.

Li Yuanji felt that the scenery of Jiulongtan Mountain was particularly eye-catching today, and wanted to see it for a while, so he sent someone to call Li Chengqian and Li Chengye to send Xue Wanshu off together.

Xue Wanshu was a little flattered. In order to avoid being told about a prince and two county kings and being criticized by others, he resolutely wanted to be a horse for Li Chengqian and Li Chengye.

Then Li Chengqian and Li Chengye rode on Xue Wanshu's shoulders, one left and one right, opening their mouths to face the wind and screaming, like two idiots, standing on Xue Wanshu's shoulders for a while, letting Xue Wanshu hold their shoulders firmly. feet, then stretched his neck and hands, picking wild green apricots on the side of the road to eat.

Wild green apricot is very sour, sour people have toothaches, and sour people wobble.

But it is appetizing and can also stimulate people's taste buds, making people want to eat after eating.

Li Chengqian and Li Chengye only stayed under the wild apricot tree for a quarter of an hour, and half a branch of wild green apricot survived.

The two of them were slurping their mouths, and they were still stuffing them into their mouths.

He just didn't eat the apricot head and tail very much, but only ate the circle of flesh in the middle of the apricot, and then stuffed the rest of the apricot head and tail with the apricot pit into Xue Wanshu's mouth.

Xue Wanshu was clearly grinning because of the sourness, but he kept thanking him.

Thank you for this county king reward for a while, and thank you for that county king reward for a while.

When the two county kings heard Xue Wanshu's thanks, they seemed to be encouraged, and they fed more vigorously.

The expression on Xue Wanshu's face gradually became more distorted.

Li Yuanji felt that Xue Wanshu was worthless, and also felt that Li Chengqian and Li Chengye's actions were disrespectful.

But considering that Xue Wanshu was acting on his behalf, if he prevented Xue Wanshu from being fed and Li Chengqian and Li Chengye from continuing to be fed, then the person who was fed would most likely become him.

So he resolutely pretended that he saw nothing, saw nothing.

Li Yuanji used to like eating green apricots, especially the green apricots after the white fluff on Xing's body dissipated, but he didn't eat much after that.

Because it hurts.

Li Yuanji still remembers that when he was 14 years old, the green apricots planted by the neighbor next door in the private plot behind the homestead had grown fruit, and the fluff had just faded. The dripping water drops are truly lovable.

He couldn't help but stretched out the claws of the robbers' feet, stole more than 20 of them in one go, and didn't wash them. After wiping the water droplets on them, they all went into his stomach. He was sent to the hospital overnight, almost tossing half his life.

After being cured, he was played in mixed doubles by his parents, and he learned a lot.

And during the mixed doubles, he learned one thing, that is, the water droplets on the apricots of the neighbor's house are not residues after light rain, but pesticides that have just been sprayed.

Fortunately, the pesticide was not a violent pesticide, otherwise he would not only have tossed half his life, but lost his life.

That is, since then, he has never eaten green apricots again.

And he engraved the lessons learned with his life in the depths of his soul. Even if he traveled through time, even if he knew that the green apricots of the Tang Dynasty, especially the wild green apricots, are non-toxic, pollution-free, and have no pesticide residues, he would not willing to eat.

So Xue Wanshu can only eat it, and Xue Wanshu can only suffer it on his behalf.

After Li Chengqian and Li Chengye harmed the two-branched wild green apricot, they finally stopped, and Xue Wanshu also escaped from the clutches.

Due to eating too much wild green apricot, Xue Wanshu couldn't speak a complete sentence, he could only salivate, grin his teeth, and stumble while talking.

Li Chengqian and Li Chengye showed extreme dislike for this, saying that they were unwilling to stay on Xue Wanshu's shoulders, and could only transfer to the guards' shoulders.

As for Li Yuanji...

That is impossible.

One is a child from someone else's family, and the other is also a child from someone else's family in terms of soul, why should they be used as horses for them to ride.

Besides, they just finished bullying Xue Wanshu by relying on their youth and ignorance, so why should they give them the treatment of a prince's car.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Not only can't give them a higher salary, but they have to educate them well after returning to the Nine Dao Palace, and explain the truth to them.

Although the elderly will not dislike food contaminated with children's saliva, but that is only limited to their own children, and children from other people's homes will only make people feel disgusted and disgusted.

The reason Xue Wanshu gratefully ate up the remaining wild apricots they gave was not that Xue Wanshu treated them as his own children, but that their identities determined that Xue Wanshu had to greet them with a smile on his face.

If you change your identity, you can see whether Xue Wanshu will pay attention to them.

It is precisely because of this that they must be reasoned with, and they must understand that they cannot treat the meritorious ministers of the Tang Dynasty in the same way they have treated palace servants and servants.

Xue Wanshu is undoubtedly a capable person, and the Xue brothers are undoubtedly a group of capable brothers.

To treat such capable people and those who have a group of capable brothers, we must give them a certain amount of respect, and we must try our best to maintain their dignity, so as not to let them become flattering ministers in the mouth of others inadvertently.

In the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Tang Dynasty when there were many outstanding people, no one would respect anyone who flattered and flattered his ministers.

And no one would treat them as colleagues after leaving Tai Chi Palace.

It was like the incident when Li Yuanji encountered Yin Ashu beating Du Ruhui violently at the beginning of his time travel.

The reason why Du Ruhui didn't get off his horse when passing by the Yin's residence was not because he didn't know the etiquette rules of the court, nor because he didn't know that Yin Ashu was higher than him in terms of official position and title.

It was because he thought he was a capable person, and he looked down on people like Yin Ashu who climbed up through nepotism, and he also looked down on Yin Ashu's title obtained by relying on nepotism.

In fact, it's not just Du Ruhui, most of the people who feel that they are capable are like this when they pass by the mansion of people like Yin Ashu.

The reason why Du Ruhui was the only one who was beaten was also because Du Ruhui was easy to bully. If he beat Du Ruhui, he could still get rewards from the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion, and when Li Shimin Xingshi questioned his master, he could invite the crown prince and King Qi to support him.

People like Yin Ashu survived in the government and the opposition by relying on this way of hugging their thighs.

Once the thighs are gone, they will die immediately, so fast that you can't react.

Li Yuanji didn't want Xue Wanshu to become this kind of person in order to accommodate Li Chengqian and Li Chengye, so he had to solve this problem fundamentally.

After sending Xue Wanshu down the mountain, after visiting the scenery in the middle of the mountain, and playing in one of the shallow pools in Jiulongtan, Li Yuanji asked the guards to carry Li Chengqian and Li Chengye back to Jiudao Palace.

After sending the guards down to rest, they began to 'teach' Li Chengqian and Li Chengye.

Since Li Chengye was too young to understand the truth, Li Yuanji could only tell Li Chengqian the truth, and then Li Chengqian would teach Li Chengye by example when he encountered a similar situation.

This is actually a very good way to educate children, not too much worry, not too much trouble, but there is a hard prerequisite.

That's how much kids have to be.

Li Shi obviously didn't have this kind of trouble.
