Chapter 177 The fourth quarter is unpredictable

Li Si and Mao Jiao, one is a Keqing whose foundation is gradually stabilizing, and the other is an upstart and popular Taifu.The two are equally young and talented, and they are both stars of hope in Qin's political arena, and they are regarded as the successors of Prime Minister Lu Buwei.The future of Qin may be in the hands of someone among them. This is a war without gunpowder, the mind is the commander, the tongue is the warrior, and Li Sizhi is determined to win.Mao Jiao's rhetorical question was expected by Li Si.How to answer this question, he had rehearsed before coming.However, rehearsal and formal performance are two different things after all.When Mao Jiao asked this question in a joking tone, Li Si couldn't help being shocked.Li Si smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Mao came from Jixia Academy. The sage Mencius also visited Jixia Academy in the past. Lord Mao must know Mencius very well. That's why those who know their fate don't stand under a dangerous wall.Those who do their best to die are right lives; those who die in shackles are not right lives. "The one who stands under the dangerous wall today is not Li Si, but Mr. Mao. The water flows behind and the source is exhausted, and the tree loses its roots and does not grow. It is not important to worry about difficulties, but it is useless to hurt the body. Either go or stay , it should be for Mr. Mao to decide on his own, not for Li Si to influence."

Mao Jiao laughed and said: "There is a poor man who gets meat sauce and eats it as delicious as rice. He hates eating it with others, that is, spit it out, so that people can't eat it and eat it by himself. You come to persuade Mao Jiao, even if you are as clever as your tongue." Spring, the hype, to put it bluntly, the behavior is no different from that of a poor man." Hearing such a harsh and rude metaphor made Li Si furious.However, no matter in terms of knowledge or status, Mao Jiao has the qualifications to speak freely in front of Li Si.Li Si was about to speak out to refute, but Mao Jiao stood up and said: "If you don't wait for the guest to persuade you, Mao Jiao intends to withdraw early. I have already done it by talking and resolving disputes; I have tasted the taste of being an official." .Once I become an official, this body is like a commodity in the emperor's house. I don't want to own it again. My eyebrows and waist are broken, and I worry about gains and losses. It's rare to be happy. Why bother! Pearls are precious, and birds don't pray for them. Gold tripods are expensive. Fish don’t want to cook. Xianyang has nothing to miss, Mao Jiao will go, the boat will pass away, and Jiang Hai will spend the rest of his life.” Mao Jiao didn’t even say hello to Li Si, and came out with his hands behind his back, singing to the sky: “ The divine virtue of a husband and sage is hidden away from the troubled world. If the unicorn can be restrained and tied together, why is it different from dogs and sheep?" The singing continued, and the people had gone away.

Li Si sat alone, Mao Jiao's singing still echoing in his ears.Li Si used all his strength, but his punch was empty. Mao Jiao didn't even bother to fight him.Li Si sneered, his complexion turned red and then turned pale, so that the unicorn can be restrained and restrained, so why is it different from a dog and a sheep?This is comparing Li Si to a dog and a sheep.He chewed on Mao Jiao's words, feeling very unhappy.If he had known that Mao Jiao had made up his mind to retire, he shouldn't have come here.It's all right now, he sent it to the door without hesitation, and let Mao Jiao humiliate and tease him for nothing.Well, you Mao Jiao, you said that an official position is like meat sauce, I was afraid that you would rob me, so I spit in it.But what did you do?Those few beautiful words of yours pretending to be noble are like waking up the snot in this meat sauce.Are you trying to spoil my appetite on purpose, so that everyone can't eat, so that you can be happy?

Li Si returned bitterly, but slowly became happy on the way.After all, Mao Jiao has left Xianyang, and will no longer be an obstacle or rival to his official career.Mao Jiao, you can laugh at me as much as you want, and tell you, whoever laughs last will laugh the best.
