Chapter 516 : Tiger and Fox
"What story about the tiger and the fox?" Hama asked contemptuously.
Xiao Yun sneered, "Back then, my teacher told me that during the Warring States Period, Chu State was the most powerful. The king of Chu State, King Chu Xuan, was very arrogant. He often ignored all the small countries and insulted them at will. One day
On a whim, King Xuan of Chu asked all the princes and small countries in the north one by one.
The princes and small countries in the north were all afraid of his general Zhao Xixie. After asking about it, King Xuan of Chu felt strange that the princes were not afraid of the king but their generals. This was really puzzling. So King Xuan of Chu asked the ministers,
Why is this? At that time, a minister named Jiang Yi narrated the following story to him.
"Once upon a time, there was a tiger in a cave. Because he was hungry, he ran outside to look for food. When he walked
When he was walking in a dense forest, he suddenly saw a fox walking in front of him. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he jumped towards him and captured him effortlessly. But when it opened its mouth
, about to eat that fox.
When I was in the house, the cunning fox suddenly spoke: "Hmph! Don't think that you are the king of beasts, so you dare to devour me. You must know that the Emperor of Heaven has ordered me to be the king of kings. No matter who eats me, he will be the king of kings."
All will be severely sanctioned and punished by the Emperor of Heaven."
The tiger listened to the fox's words and was dubious. However, when he turned his head and saw the fox's arrogant and calm look, he was surprised. The original arrogance and domineering attitude had disappeared without realizing it.
Most of the time, though, he was still thinking: Because I am the king of beasts, any beast in the world will be afraid of me. And he actually came to rule us on the orders of the Emperor of Heaven! At this time,
Seeing that the tiger was hesitant to eat it, the fox knew that he had somewhat believed what he said, so he puffed up his chest even more proudly, pointed at the tiger's nose and said, "What, don't you think so?"
Don't you believe what I say? Then come with me now, walk behind me, and see if all the wild beasts are scared out of their wits when they see me, and run away with their heads in their hands.' The tiger thought this was a good idea, so he followed it
.
So, the fox boldly opened the way in front, while the tiger followed cautiously. Not long after they walked, they vaguely saw the depths of the forest, where many small animals were vying for food, but when they found that the fox was walking
When he saw the tiger behind him, he was frightened and ran away wildly.
At this time, the fox turned around proudly and looked at the tiger. The tiger couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw this situation, but he didn't know that the beasts were afraid of him, and thought they were really afraid of the fox! The cunning fox's plan succeeded.
, but his power is entirely due to the fact that he can use the tiger to
Although the situation was favorable for a while, he threatened the beasts, but the poor tiger was fooled, and he didn't even know it! Therefore, the reason why the people in the north were afraid of Zhao Xixie was entirely because the king's military power was in his hands.
, that is to say, what they fear is actually the power of the king!"
"In recent years, Mr. Ha is not the fox in the story. Relying on His Majesty's trust, he has acted recklessly in the court and killed innocent people. He has successively killed Master Tuo Tuo for his own selfish desires. In my opinion, Mr. Ha is better than the lower official.
It won't be better than that. It won't take long before the tiger will eventually see through the fox's cunningness. By then, I'm afraid Mr. Ha will die even worse than the lower official!"
"It's nonsense and overbearing!" Hama's face changed drastically. In recent years, he has indeed done a lot of bad things under false pretenses. Let's talk about other things, just the cruelty of Tuo Tuo, which is enough to make him feel resentful. Now after hearing this Xiao Yun
After saying this without any hesitation, his face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't find the words to say.
At this moment, a eunuch in the Jinluan Palace said in a sharp voice: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Hama snorted coldly and glanced hard at Xiao Yun's face before turning around. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Emperor Yuan Hui walked away as everyone was shouting for him.
come out.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone saluted.
"Your Majesty, please be safe!" Emperor Yuan Hui replied condescendingly as he sat on the dragon throne. All the officials who were kneeling on the ground stood up one after another and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After everyone stood up, Emperor Yuan Hui withdrew his gaze. The eunuch on the side had a sharp eye and said in a high-pitched voice: "If you have something to report, if you have nothing to do, retreat from the court...?" The voice echoed in the huge Jinluan Palace.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!" In the Jinluan Palace, before the eunuch's voice could be heard, Hama, who was standing at the head of the ministers, stood up first, bowed and shouted.
"My dear, there is no need to be formal. Please tell me if you have anything to say!" On the dragon throne, Emperor Yuan Hui glanced at Hana expressionlessly and responded in a neutral tone.
"Your Majesty, I recently arrested the traitor Xiao Yun. This person secretly communicated with Zhang Shicheng and used Zhang Shicheng's help to burn down our Dayuan granary, allowing hundreds of thousands of imperial troops to defeat Gaoyou. This is an unforgivable crime. Now I am a humble minister.
I ordered someone to arrest this person, and your majesty will be angry!"
After Hama finished speaking, he bowed his body and retreated slightly to the front position.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Xiao Yun has committed a heinous crime, and Your Majesty appreciates him so much, but this good thing has secretly contacted the rebel Zhang Shicheng, burned my granary, and killed my Yuan soldiers. If we don't kill him, it will be difficult to eliminate our Yuan Dynasty."
The hatred in the hearts of Yuan soldiers!"
Before Hama finished speaking, Hama's confidant Yuan Saibuhua, the supervisory censor, immediately took over and shouted, "Your Majesty, a person as heartless as Xiao Yun should have been tied up and sunk in the Yellow River long ago.
Only then can we be considered worthy of the undead souls of hundreds of thousands of my great Yuan soldiers!"
