Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，有一位官员名叫李公，因功劳卓著而被皇上封为宰相。然而，李公为人谨慎，凡事总是三思而后行，从不轻易表露自己的观点。一次，皇帝召见李公，问及他对新推行的一项政策的看法。李公沉思片刻，不置可否，只是微微一笑，将皮球踢给了朝中的其他大臣。皇帝见李公如此，也就不再追问，转而询问其他官员的意见。后来，这项政策在朝臣们激烈的辩论中，经过多次修改，最终被顺利实施，并取得了显著的成效。李公的不置可否，既避免了与朝中大臣的正面冲突，也给皇帝留下了深刻的印象，为他日后进一步施展才能奠定了基础。
In the Tang Dynasty, there was an official named Li Gong, who was appointed prime minister by the emperor for his outstanding contributions. However, Li Gong was a cautious man, always thinking carefully before acting and never readily revealing his opinions. Once, the emperor summoned Li Gong and asked for his opinion on a newly implemented policy. Li Gong pondered for a moment and remained noncommittal, merely smiling slightly and leaving the matter to other ministers. Seeing Li Gong's ambiguity, the emperor didn't press further, instead asking for the opinions of other officials. Later, after much debate among the court officials, the policy underwent several revisions before it was successfully implemented, and achieved significant success. Li Gong's noncommittal response avoided a direct confrontation with other ministers and made a deep impression on the emperor, laying the groundwork for his future contributions.
