Keep the bow when the birds are done …
How could this phrase be brought up for discussion?
This … isn't this a little too … too much of a taboo?
Whether it was a king or an official, they were extremely sensitive to these words!
"Uh …"
His Majesty's hand that was stroking his beard paused as well, his entire being frozen. His eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets as his hand trembled and with a low grunt, a dozen strands of his beard were pulled out by himself.
"Oh ho ho ho …"
His Majesty chuckled dryly and turned to look at Yun Xiaoyao, chuckling as he said, "I say … brother … this … your son's teaching method is rather unique. My heir to the throne … Does he need to understand the deeper meaning of keeping the bow when the birds are done when the birds are done when the birds are done?"
Yun Xiaoyao's expression had long changed as well. He was speechless as he stared at Yun Yang with eyes that looked like they were about to devour him whole, as if they were about to swallow him whole.
Look at what you're teaching – there's a deeper meaning to it. If you're so capable, you can just ascend to the heavens!
Can this bow when the birds are done be taught?
I know you don't care about the imperial power, but you shouldn't have agreed to it in the beginning. Since you've agreed, you should have taught him well. Now that you've done this, what are you trying to do? "
Yun Yang was the only one in the banquet who was unperturbed. He smiled and said, "Bao'er has a good memory. Not bad, not bad at all. This is it. Do you still remember what I said the other day when I taught him? What does it mean exactly? If you can repeat it clearly, uncle will reward you! "
Everyone turned to look at her, and their faces were full of encouragement. They looked at Bao'er, but in reality, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The question was too sensitive.
Especially now, when the entire continent was silent, with only the Empire of Yutang standing out. The situation was gradually becoming clearer – the Empire of Yutang was about to unify the world and pacify Tianxuan!
At this sensitive juncture, there was not enough time to reward and encourage promotions to win over the hearts of the people. Why did he want to keep the bow when the birds were done?
Even if the imperial mind was a compulsory subject for royalty, this was too disgusting!
There was nothing more chilling than this!
She said excitedly, "That day, Uncle told me the story of this saying. It's about how after a hunter hunts, he hides his hunting tools. As for the deeper meaning of this saying, there are two layers to it. One is to the king. To a king, this saying is derogatory. It shows that he is despicable and useless. The other layer is to the officials. To the officials who have sacrificed everything, this saying is the greatest tragedy."
At this point, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
It looked like this bastard Yun Yang still had a bottom line. His words were neither crude nor crude!
His Majesty's drunken eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness. He warmly said, "Hmm, that is a good way to put it. Bao 'er, please continue. I will listen to your uncle's words."
Yun Xiaoyao clenched his teeth and glared at Yun Yang, but the latter did not take it to heart. He smiled as if he did not feel anything.
Of course, Bao 'er could not discern the true meaning in the emperor's words. He thought about it and said, "Uncle said that this saying isn't a good thing most of the time. If it's not used in one's entire life, it's a great kindness. It's the same for others and oneself, but it's also a matter of sentiment. Then, he asked me, who is the most respectable person in this world? "
The emperor nodded. "Then, who does Bao 'er think is the most respectable person in this world?"
His Majesty hoped that Bao 'er would give this title to him. It could satisfy his vanity and also give him a great sense of achievement. He could also use this as an excuse to get out of this predicament. He was already the most respectable person in this world. He could overlook the slight bias in Yun Yang's teaching!
Bao 'er said, "I told uncle then that the most respectable people are the heroes who give up their lives to kill the enemy on the battlefield."
His Majesty sighed inwardly, but he felt a surge of warmth in his heart. "Oh?"
Bao 'er said, "That's what Bao' er said. Uncle said that Bao 'er was right. The most respectable people are these heroes. Without their sacrifice, how can there be peace in this world? However, if there's a day in the future when the world is truly at peace and these heroes have no war to fight, will they still be the most respectable people?"
His Majesty's hawk-like gaze sliced at Yun Yang and said, "This is a problem. What does Bao 'er think?"
Bao 'er said, "Bao' er thinks that these people are still the most respectable people! They've already fought the war they need to fight, so of course, they're respectable. Besides, because of their existence, we're even less afraid of war! "
His Majesty smiled happily and said, "Bao 'er is right. And then? "
"Uncle said that I'm right too. He then told me that heroes should always be treated like heroes. He told me to always think about the saying, 'the good bow is set aside when the birds are gone', and not to forget my original intention."
Bao 'er said.
Black lines appeared on everyone's foreheads, and they all started coughing.
F * ck, they had finally gotten around it, why were they back at it now? …
This was simply …
Fang Qingtian and Qiu Jianhan felt like there were nails in their buttocks; they could hardly conceal their uneasiness.
The issue was already grave when they discussed it in private, but it was even more thrilling when they discussed it in front of the emperor.
Bao 'er's childish voice spoke methodically, "Now, the Empire of Yutang is about to unify the world. Once it's unified, we'll have to face the problem of setting aside the good bow when the birds are gone."
What he said was exactly what Qiu Jianhan and Fang Qingtian were feeling.
Yes, if the world were to be unified, then the ones who would be in the most awkward position would undoubtedly be these soldiers who had given up everything and even their lives!
How should they be resettled?
How could they not forget their original intention?
Soldiers, especially outstanding ones, were the proudest and most valiant of all. If they were to be rewarded based on their contributions, each of them would have a considerable amount of merit. However, such people would hardly have a place to use their skills after occupying a high position. How could they be resettled after that? How could they last for long?
If they could not be resettled, what would happen if they did not last for long?
This was an extremely serious problem. The more profound thought was almost obvious, and no one could overlook it.
However, a considerable portion of these people were destined to become unstable factors. There was no doubt about this. There was no benefit in avoiding it!
The emperor's gaze was still sharp as he said, "Bao 'er, continue."
Bao 'er said, "Uncle said,' the good bow is set aside when the birds are gone '. It's a very good saying. Since it's a good bow, it should be kept well. When the time comes to use it, it doesn't have to be cooked after the cunning hare is dead."
