The onlookers, including Yuan Wai Lang and Lang Zhong Ling, were talking a lot.
"You heard it, Yan Qi invited Tian Heng and Wang Yongjian, but did not invite Xiong Fucai and Huang Zhikai. This is a big difference."
"Obviously, Yan Qi thinks highly of Tian Heng and Wang Yongjian, but looks down upon Xiong Fucai and Huang Zhikai."
"Tian Heng and Wang Yongjian are more popular, but Xiong Fucai and Huang Zhikai are not so popular. They are both deputy ministers, so the gap is a bit big."
…
Xiong Fucai and Huang Zhikai felt very unhappy after hearing this.
Yan Qi is so hateful.
If you want to invite Tian Heng and Huang Zhikai as guests, just invite them.
Why do you have to say it in public?
Moreover, it was said so loudly that all the officials could hear it clearly.
You clearly meant to slap us in the face by doing this.
Tian Heng and Wang Yongjian showed their faces in front of everyone, stepped on Xiong Fucai and Huang Zhikai, and were very happy.
After all, they are both deputy ministers, so they are in a competitive relationship with each other.
I would be very happy if I could step on it.
"Master Xiong, let's take a step first."
"Master Huang, we are going to Vice Minister Yan's house to taste West Lake Longjing. It would be a pity if you don't go."
Tian Heng and Wang Yongjian said something that was neither yin nor yang, and they got into the sedan with Yan Qi and walked away.
Xiong Fucai and Huang Zhikai were both angry.
How can I swallow this bad breath after being embarrassed in front of everyone?
Xiong Fucai had a gloomy look on his face: "Master Huang, are we going to visit Minister Chiang?"
Huang Zhikai said bitterly: "Yes, Tian Heng and Huang Zhikai are so close to Yan Qi, and they must let Jiang Shilang know who they are."
"Walk!"
Xiong Fucai and Huang Zhikai went to Jiang Dongqu's house to complain.
…
Along the way, Lin Ruoshan looked at Yan Qi, scratching her ears and cheeks, but stopped talking.
Huzi looked worried: "I say, Fat Brother, if you want to ask Brother Qi, just ask him directly. Why are you acting like a monkey, scratching your head and ears?"
Lin Ruoshan finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked Yan Qi: "Why don't you treat the four deputy ministers equally?"
Yan Qi smiled: "What's the benefit of treating everyone equally?"
Lin Ruoshan said: "It's better to treat everyone equally. A bowl of water must be balanced."
Yan Qi said: "If a bowl of water is leveled, then how can these four deputy ministers still harbor resentment?"
"ah?"
Lin Ruoshan was startled: "Brother Yan, are you deliberately sowing discord?"
Yan Qi Khan: "Why do you say it so harshly? They already have conflicts! I just made the conflicts between the four deputy ministers public."
"Tch, you still don't admit it? You did it on purpose anyway."
Lin Ruoshan was full of doubts: "Brother Yan, why didn't you bring the four deputy ministers over? Why did you just exclude Xiong Fucai and Huang Zhikai?"
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "Pull Tian Heng, Wang Yongjian, Xiong Fucai, and Huang Zhikai together, but it has no effect. It makes no difference whether I pull or not. However, only by dividing and conquering can I appear hierarchical and make them feel my enthusiasm. ."
Lin Ruoshan scratched his head: "Am I too stupid, or did Brother Yan not explain it clearly? Why didn't I understand what you meant?"
"Of course you are stupid."
Yan Qi pouted: "In some specific circumstances, there is no benefit in equal sharing. Remember, it is in some specific circumstances, not all."
Lin Ruoshan asked: "Under certain specific circumstances? Give me an example."
Yan Qidao: "For example, you raise two very naughty monkeys. They don't respect you and don't know how to be grateful. They are both very powerful. Together, you can't beat them."
"Now, here comes the question. These two hungry monkeys ask you for bananas at the same time. What do you do?"
Lin Ruoshan said: "Then share the bananas with them."
Yan Qi said: "You divide the bananas and they run away when they are full. They still have no respect for you and will not be grateful to you. You raised these monkeys in vain."
Lin Ruoshan said again: "Then no one will be given food, and these two dead monkeys will be left to starve."
Yan Qi rolled his eyes: "If this is true, these two monkeys will become angry and will unite to deal with you and scratch your face. You, the master, were bullied by the monkeys. You must have failed too much."
Lin Ruoshan was speechless: "It's impossible to give them food, and it's impossible not to give them food. So what should I do?"
Yan Qidao: "I told you just now, the best way is to divide and conquer."
"Feed one monkey and deny food to the other monkey, and then let him watch the other monkey enjoy the food."
"As a result, the two monkeys who were originally very united began to have internal strife. The monkey that did not get the food was angry because of hunger. It would think that the other monkey was eating alone and took away the food that should belong to it. Therefore, this monkey finally It’s not the owner who hates it, but the monkey who is full.”
"The well-fed monkey developed a sense of superiority because it was favored over the hungry monkey. This sense of superiority will further stimulate it to please its owner and try to get more delicious food from the owner."
"The advantage of this is that the two monkeys are fighting among themselves and can no longer bully the master together, and the master has gained a loyal monkey. As for the purpose of the other hungry monkey, it is to stimulate the other monkey to The master is more loyal.”
After listening to Yan Qi's theory, Lin Ruoshan suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand. Brother Yan is the master, and the four deputy ministers are ungrateful monkeys. And the warm office and the promise of cure are delicious food."
Yan Qi nodded: "You finally understand, you really have the potential of a profiteer."
He asked Huzi again: "Do you understand?"
Huzi said angrily, "Tian Heng and Wang Yongjian are the well-fed monkeys, while Xiong Fucai and Huang Zhikai are the hungry monkeys."
Yan Qi snapped her fingers: "Congratulations, you got the answer right."
Lin Ruoshan and Huzi looked at each other and said in unison: "Brother Qi, you are so bad!"
Yan Qiyi glared: "If I weren't bad, people would think I was kind and could be bullied. I was forced out of this, what can I do?"
Lin Ruoshan asked: "What should we do next?"
Yan Qi frowned: "Let's take a closer look. I can see that Tian Heng and Wang Yongjian are still good officials. At least, that's what Xia Ming told me. Xia Ming's vision shouldn't be too bad. ."
…
Yan Qi treated Tian Heng and Wang Yongjian very enthusiastically.
Hua Yi diagnosed their pulse, prescribed a prescription, and told them to take the medicine according to the prescription, and they would feel better in ten days. After three months, they would definitely be fine.
Tian Heng and Wang Yongjian were particularly happy.
Hua Yi is Hua Wubing's daughter. She has obtained the true biography of Hua Yi, so she is naturally very authoritative.
She said she had improved in ten days and was better in three months, which is very credible.
As long as your health is good, everything is worth it.
