Dominant Personality Research Report

Ten years later.

The grass is green and the stream is gurgling.

Under a tree by the stream, there was a man wearing a bamboo hat, sitting on a rock, fishing.

Suddenly, the buoy sank, and the man immediately raised his pole, but only a small fish that was more than an inch long fell.He said to the little fish to himself: "You are too young, I will ask you to sacrifice to the Temple of the Five Zangs when you grow up." After speaking, he put the little fish into the water.

As soon as the fish entered the water, it suddenly disappeared.

The man looked at the flowing water and murmured: "A fish can still be free, but I am not as good as a fish."

A man in a wide robe and wide sleeves walked slowly, "General Lin, you said you were sick and couldn't go to court, so you are here to enjoy yourself."

Lin Yiyu was accused of pretending to be sick, but he did not show embarrassment, but said calmly: "I am indeed sick."

The man wondered: "I see your look, you don't look like someone who is sick."

"I'm mentally ill, of course I can't see it on the surface." Lin Yiyu pointed to his heart.

"Heart disease requires heart medicine. Maybe Liang can be your doctor." Liang Huamao also pointed to himself.

"Oh, I don't know what is Liang's great talent's heart medicine?" Lin Yiyu asked.

Liang Huamao looked serious, and said: "If I were you, I would hang the crown and go back immediately. The world is big, and there is always a place to shelter. There is no medicine to heal this heart disease."

Lin Yiyu lowered his eyes and remained silent, rubbing the fishing rod in his hand.

Liang Huamao went on to say: "I know that you and the King of Chu have known each other since Wei Mo and have a deep friendship, but now you are walking on the thin ice and standing beside the abyss, don't you really know it?"

Lin Yiyu showed a look of reminiscence, "He and I are neighbors, and we have known each other since we were young. He said he was the Queen of Chu, but no one believed him, and everyone laughed at him. But I believed him, so he said that he would be the queen of Chu in the future. King, you want to make me a great general. Later, King Qi rebelled, and the emperor of Zhou rebelled, and the two of us revolted and captured the city."

When he said this, he was silent for a while, and then continued: "The last time we joined forces on the battlefield was to conquer Danyang City. Danyang City has been the capital of Chu State since ancient times. He said that after taking Danyang City, he will stand on his own. As the king of Chu, I said that there are many people in this world who can share adversity but not wealth. I don’t know if you are such a person. He said that the king will not betray me and I will not betray the king. If you break your oath, then..."

Liang Huamao asked: "What if you break your oath?"

"I stopped him and didn't let him go on. I said I believed him." Lin Yiyu paused, "After taking Danyang City, he became the King of Chu, and I became the General of Chu State. Good story."

Liang Huamao sighed and said, "It's a good story for a while, but it's not a good story forever."

"I believe that when he swore to me on that day, month, and day, he really did it out of his sincerity, and that's enough." Lin Yiyu smiled slightly.

Liang Huamao shook his head and said, "I thought you were a smart person."

"You are well-educated and talented. You don't want to use what you have learned, and you drink and have fun all day long. I am afraid that this is not the work of a smart person." Lin Yiyu turned the topic to Liang Huamao himself.

Liang Huamao did not explain, but asked Lin Yiyu a question, "What kind of person does the general think I am?"

In fact, Lin Yiyu only met Liang Huamao on a few occasions, but he dared to say that he knew this person better than Liang Huamao's friends, "I don't think you are someone who treats fame and fortune like dirt."

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. If it doesn't see a good tree, it doesn't want to live in it." Liang Huamao said meaningfully.

Lin Yiyu clasped his fists and said, "Then I wish brother Liang find a good tree as soon as possible."

Liang Huamao was a little surprised, and said: "The general is open-minded and transparent, very human."

If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely persuade him to serve the Chu State, or scold him for implying that the King of Chu is not a wise lord, but Lin Yiyu wished him that he could find the ideal lord as soon as possible.

"I'm just a bird in a cage, a fish in a net. I've been in a cage for a long time, and I can't afford the words 'open-minded and transparent'." Lin Yiyu waved his hand.

"Walking in the dark, some people are blind and others are blind. Although they are walking together, they are not the same." Liang Huamao had always looked up to Lin Yiyu, but today he admired Lin Yiyu even more.

Lin Yiyu looked at the sky, the stratus clouds were dyed orange, "It's getting late, I'm leaving."

"General, go slowly." Liang Huamao and Lin Yiyu talked for a long time, but they still felt that there was more to say.

Lin Yiyu put away the fishing rod, picked up the fishing rod, and left in a hurry.

When Lin Yiyu returned to the General's Mansion, Ran Changxing had been waiting for a long time.

When Ran Changxing saw Lin Yiyu, he hesitated to speak.He is Lin Yiyu's lieutenant general, and he has been taught martial arts by Lin Yiyu. Although he has no apprenticeship, his relationship is deeper than that of ordinary masters and apprentices.

Lin Yiyu took off his bamboo hat, handed it to his servants together with the fish basket and fishing rod, and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after dinner."

In the huge general's mansion, there are only a few servants, and the meal for two people is only three dishes, two meat and one vegetable, among them is the braised fish made by Lin Yiyu's freshly caught fish.

Ran Changxing had something on his mind and didn't know how to eat, but Lin Yiyu ate with great relish.

After eating, the maid came in to clear the dishes.

After the maid walked out, Ran Changxing said, "General, I have something to say from the bottom of my heart."

"Since it is the words from the heart, it is better to hide it in the heart, so there is no need to say it." Lin Yiyu waved his hand.

"General!" Ran Changxing fell to his knees, "If the general doesn't listen to me today, I won't get up."

Lin Yiyu was silent for a while, and said, "Why are you bothering?"

Ran Changxing had tears in his eyes, "The general's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, and he is like a father and a teacher in my heart. Not only me, but the Chu army also loves the general very much. If the general ascends to the top..."

"Shut up!" Lin Yiyu snapped, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Ran Changxing gritted his teeth and said: "The Zhou family is in decline, everyone can sit on the throne, and those who are capable live in it. In the past, Chu Mingxi was just a reckless ranger. The general's mind, temperament and martial arts are all superior to Chu Mingxi. He Chu Mingxi Xi can be the king of Chu, but the general can't do it. With the general's benevolence, being the king of Chu is the blessing of Chu. Even if the general doesn't think about himself, please think about the people of Chu."

"It's because many people think like you that I'm in danger now..." Lin Yiyu's voice gradually became weaker.

Ran Changxing was stunned after hearing Lin Yiyu's words.

"No, I can't blame you. In fact, the problem is still between me and the king of Chu. If the king of Chu believes in me, it doesn't matter what others say." Lin Yiyu helped Ran Changxing up, "This is the relationship between me and the king of Chu." I will solve the matter by myself, and you don't have to mention it in the future."

Ran Changxing showed hesitation, "But..."

"Don't you believe me?" Lin Yiyu asked.

"Of course I believe in the general." Ran Changxing thought to himself that with Lin Yiyu's resourcefulness, there might be room for change in this matter, and maybe he was worrying unfoundedly.

With something on his mind, Ran Changxing bid farewell to Lin Yiyu.Lin Yiyu tried to persuade him to stay, but Ran Changxing still insisted not to stay overnight in the general's mansion, so as not to be suspicious of the king of Chu.

Lin Yiyu returned to the bedroom, read a book for a while and fell asleep.

When he was going to court the next day, he woke up, put on his clothes and got up, only to realize that he had been sick for a long time, so he shook his head with a wry smile.

After he finished his breakfast, he practiced sword skills in the yard.The moves are exquisite, and the light of the sword is like water, but it is a pity that it can no longer be used to fight the enemy, but can only be used to exercise the body.

Suddenly, the servant told Lin Yiyu that there was a visitor.

Lin Yiyu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and asked the servant to make tea for the guests first, while he went to change his clothes.

After changing his clothes, he went to the main room and found that the visitor was an unexpected person—Chu Prime Minister Chen Yishan.Chen Yishan has always been at odds with him, and he was supported by the King of Chu, and he and he held back each other in the court.

Chen Yishan looked at Lin Yiyu's expression and said, "You didn't expect me to come, and I also didn't expect me to come."

"But I can guess what you want to say to me." Lin Yiyu sat down.

"What I'm going to say to you next, someone must have already said it to you. However, compared with other people, what I said has both the same and different points." Chen Yishan said seriously.

"All ears." Lin Yiyu sat upright.

"I don't have any prejudice against the general, but the king of Chu needs someone who can fight against the general, and I became that person." Chen Yishan paused, "The general has a high position and power, and he has a lot of troops in his hands. , the general doesn't seem to care about anything, you don't like beauty, you don't seek fame and wealth, you don't greedy for money and property, and you don't love power and position. Not only His Majesty the King of Chu, but any monarch will not tolerate such a person by his side."

"Is it right to prostitute, to seek fame, to amass wealth, and to seize power and self-respect, but it is wrong to be like me?" Lin Yiyu said with a half-smile.

"As the saying goes, 'People have no addictions, you can't make friends with them'. I don't believe that generals have no desires and needs, but what the general wants must be different from ordinary people. I asked the general what he wanted, and the general probably wouldn't tell me." Chen Yishanduan Picking up the teacup, he took a sip of tea, "What I want to tell the general is that you are going to die, general."

Lin Yiyu didn't look surprised when he heard Chen Yishan's words, "Do I look like a dying person?"

"The general is strong and healthy. If there are no accidents, it may not be a problem to live to the age of sixty. However, the general's life is at stake..." Chen Yishan pointed to the sky, "... just a thought."

Lin Yiyu actually understood what Chen Yishan said, but he deliberately said: "I don't understand what Prime Minister Chu said."

Chen Yishan also knew that Lin Yiyu understood, and continued: "The court of Chu State is now divided into three forces, one is me, the other is my relatives, and the third is the general. I have former disciples and officials, and the relatives are even more intertwined. The military power of the Chu State is at the top of the court, but no one is willing to speak for the general."

Lin Yiyu asked: "According to Prime Minister Chu, what should I do to save my life?"

Chen Yishan stood up and said with a long bow: "'Gentlemen are grouped but not party, villains are party but not group', but the general is neither group nor party. I wish the general can be a villain."

Lin Yiyu also stood up and helped Chen Yishan to his feet, "Prince Chu beat me to death."

Seeing Lin Yiyu's expression, Chen Yishan knew that he didn't listen, "Although the general and I work together as the same master, the king of Chu and I are monarchs and ministers. The general and the king of Chu are not just monarchs and ministers. The general treats the king of Chu like this, isn't it the general of the king of Chu? Trapped in a place of injustice?"

"'Shallow talk is deep, and a gentleman is abstained', there is no need for Prime Minister Chu to say any more." Lin Yiyu, "Come and see off."

Chen Yishan was sent out of the General's Mansion. He stood at the gate of the General's Mansion and said to himself: "If it wasn't for Your Majesty, I would really like to be your friend."
