Li Zhi in Li Su's eyes now looks much more pleasing to the eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
How can one not have dreams? Even if it's a salted fish, make it the saltiest one.
With a dream, the temperament of the whole person has become different, and what is more comforting is that Li Zhi's dream is more practical, not as far-fetched as the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo vainly trying to swallow the Tang Dynasty, in fact, Li Zhi's dream is not far away, and no one in the world knows better than Li Su how lucky this little kid is.
Li Su was a little happy, and his joyful gaze was as if he had seen a mess of mud trying to paste it on the wall, which was very touching.
Outside the Yanping Gate, the team of relatives is still walking outside the city, the team is only halfway, the dowry procession of the front team stretches for several miles, and there is no end in sight, but the honor guard of the rear team is still in the city gate, which shows the scale of the scene of Princess Wencheng's marriage.
After waiting for a while, Princess Wencheng's Luan drove out of the city gate slowly, and Li Su hurriedly pulled Li Zhi back a few steps.
As the daughter of the princess, today must also be her most beautiful day, not only the dowry is rich, but also the courtiers and people of the whole city have come out to send each other, the city gate is crowded with people, bustling, see the small traders even simply spread blankets in the open space outside the city, put all kinds of dazzling goods, from one vendor to ten vendors, soon gathered a small temporary market.
In the joyful atmosphere, there was a bit of solemnity, until Princess Wencheng's Luan drove out of the city gate, the courtiers and people outside the city suddenly became agitated, everyone's eyes stared at the golden and brilliant huge carriage, the atmosphere was a little depressed, everyone looked at the carriage as if they were silently bidding farewell to a poor man who served the tiger.
Luan drove past Li Su, and for some reason, the side curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, revealing a pretty face with a slightly blessed appearance, white and pure, with a resolute and soft expression, Li Su couldn't help but praise in his heart.
The...... Is it the famous Princess Wencheng who will go down in history?
Inside the carriage, Princess Wencheng lifted the corner of the curtain and glanced out of the car with nostalgia, as if she wanted to keep in mind the beautiful landscapes and simple people of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and then she saw Li Su standing solemnly outside the car.
Princess Wencheng was stunned, but Li Su suddenly straightened her clothes and bowed respectfully to her in the car.
Princess Wencheng was quite surprised, there were many people who saw her off today, but the only person who really saluted her so formally was this one in front of her, he ...... Why do you give yourself this gift?
Inside a carriage, outside a carriage, one saluted, one saluted, and then the two strangers looked at each other calmly, until the carriage was about to drive in front of her, Li Su suddenly smiled at her.
Princess Wencheng in the carriage was shocked, with her identity and upbringing, of course she couldn't do such an unreserved thing as smiling, but quickly lowered the curtain like a frightened deer, and Luan drove away.
Until the carriage walked away, Li Su still stared at the back of the carriage for a long time.
Li Zhi carefully pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Zizheng, why are you saluting her?" ”
Li Su sighed: "Wandering in a foreign land, sacrificing one's life to serve the tiger, deserves this gift." ”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "'Sacrifice yourself to serve the tiger'? It's not that serious, is it? And parenting is the practice of all dynasties, since the Han Dynasty has been, the father wants to make the world to the heart, naturally have to pay something, as a child, should also have the consciousness of sacrificing oneself. ”
Li Su suddenly turned his head to stare at him, his gaze was never more serious.
Li Zhi was furious by his gaze, twisted his body uncomfortably, and said, "Uh, Brother Zizheng, did Zhi say something wrong?" ”
Li Su still stared at him, and said slowly: "You just said that you want to compete for the position of the crown prince, then, I have the right to be the future prince of the Tang Dynasty, and since you are the prince, the first lesson I will teach you is ...... Never sacrifice any woman for peace in the country, peace...... It was fought by men with a sword, not by sending women! ”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly straightened his clothes, waved at Li Su, and said solemnly: "I wish to listen to the admonition of Brother Zizheng." ”
Li Su sighed: "If you are familiar with the Han Dynasty, you might as well think about it carefully, is it really that useful?" From the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, after every peace, how many years can I keep the Central Plains peaceful? After those foreign countries got the princesses sent out by my Central Plains Dynasty, did they really surrender to the Central Plains? Even if they do surrender because of this, if you think about it, do you feel at ease with the surrender you get because you give away a woman? Wouldn't it be too cheap? If the dynasty is in danger, do you dare to believe that these subservient states will not take advantage of the fire to rob? If not, then what's the point of sending this woman out? ”
Staring at Li Zhi's thoughtful face, Li Su's tone gradually became heavier: "A dynasty with the peak of civil and martial arts, the tranquility of the border does not think of men fighting bravely, but it relies on sending a woman out in exchange for peace and tranquility, such a dynasty, how many years can the prosperous world have?" The men of the whole country have no blood, and they still don't feel ashamed to send women in exchange for peace, and even take it for granted, can such a dynasty still be saved? The Tang Dynasty soldiers are powerful all over the world, even if you need the world to return to your heart, there is no need to make a fuss about women, there are many ways to return to the heart, and sending women is the most unsuccessful one. ”
Li Su's rare heavy words surprised Li Zhi, and then he lowered his head, his face gradually turned red, revealing a look of shame.
Li Su sighed and said: "There was once a dynasty, it was a vigorous dynasty, that dynasty may have a lot of problems, the monarch is not the king, the ministers are not ministers, the people live a very hard life, and there are also very powerful enemies on the border who covet the vast and fertile land of the Central Plains day and night, but the emperor at that time still made a very great decision, he set the capital in a city very close to the enemy's border, and the whole country, from the emperor to the courtiers, they did not feel that there was anything wrong with the capital being located in such a dangerous place, and this dynasty flourished for nearly three hundred yearsWhen the final trend has gone, and the enemy is about to attack the capital, the last emperor of the dynasty still stubbornly refuses to move the capital, and is willing to hang himself on the coal mountain behind the palace, and he does not retreat and escape a step until he dies......"
"It was a dynasty that made people sigh, and it was also a dynasty that was painful, and it had too many ills, but it held on to its breath and stumbled to maintain the state for nearly three hundred years, until it died. Despite so many problems, they still shouted out a strong voice that made the blood boil of later generations, 'No ministers, no tribute, no harmony, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in the community', for hundreds of years in later generations, there are too many people who scold it, and there are too many people who grieve for it, but that deafening strong voice will always be engraved in the history of the world and will be passed down for et......ernity."
With a hint of sadness, Li Su slowly told a painful history, and after speaking, Li Su closed his eyes and sighed softly.
Li Zhi's face turned even redder, his hands were clasped in his sleeves, and he clenched them tightly into fists, obviously his heart was very uncalm at the moment, and he muttered that sentence in his mouth.
"Don't be a minister, don't pay tribute, don't make peace, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies...... What a fierce dynasty this is! Treat the north three times in person! ”
After speaking, Li Zhi really faced the north, bent his knees, knelt on the ground, and bowed respectfully three times.
The corners of Li Su's mouth showed a hint of a smile, Li Zhi's actions were a little stupid, but he revealed a sincere and innocent heart, his choice was really correct, Li Shimin has so many princes, most of them are not good birds, but this Li Zhi is a rare and kind person, I am looking forward to it, how will the Tang Dynasty change if he puts this prince on the throne with one hand?
"Your Royal Highness, if you want to compete for the position of the prince, I am willing to help, but first you have to learn the art of governing the world, not that you will be at ease when you become the prince, on the contrary, after becoming the prince, the responsibility on your shoulders is heavier, and you have to shoulder the weight of the entire Tang Dynasty, my original intention of helping you to be the prince is not to let you harm the people of the world in the future, so you have to learn a lot of things from now on, learn the art of balance, learn the art of the emperor, learn how to govern the country so that the people do not go hungry, and even the days are getting better and better, I also have to learn how to be a good emperor with backbone and responsibility, so that my tens of millions of subjects in the Tang Dynasty will have a bright face and honor......"
"'Don't be a minister, don't pay tribute, don't make peace', these three things should be the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty, if the emperors of the Tang Dynasty can keep this bottom line, even if the country declines in the next few hundred years, at least our posture is still arrogant, worthy of the ancestors and ancestors."
Li Zhi was silent for a long time, and asked slowly: "Brother Zizheng's meaning, Zhi understands, Zhi has a question, if it is said that harmony is a mistake, are the father and the emperor of the high ancestor all wrong?" ”
Li Su smiled faintly: "Yes, they are all wrong, I am not afraid of taboo when I say this, your father once called me to play right in the Ganlu Palace, I told him these words to his face, but it is a pity that your father did not admonish, he knows that what I said makes sense, but he has his bitterness, I can understand that the Tang Dynasty has only been established for more than 20 years, and there are many families and gates inside, and there are powerful countries outside, and harmony is the only way for the Tang Emperor to balance the inside and outside and maintain the stability of the society......"
"Regardless of good or evil, the law can only be adapted to the times, not for eternity, and the system of relatives may be at present, is a compromise that has to be made, but it can not become the law of the Tang Dynasty in the next hundred years, because it is not decent, it is a last resort, in the past Han Gaozu Liu Bang rashly attacked the Xiongnu, so that the siege of Baishan Mountain, and later Liu Bang had to succumb to the Xiongnu, every year to give money and beauty, and even the daughter of the clan was given peace and affinity, so as to get decades of peace, without Liu Bang's patience, several generations of emperors secretly accumulated national strength, How could the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attack the Xiongnu in the north, sweep through Mobei, and raise the might of my Chinese man? ”
Sighing, Li Su said: "Now our Datang is not the same, the Tang Dynasty's harmony is not forced by the soldiers, I believe that the Emperor Gao Ancestor and your father are actually not willing to make peace, but the Tang Dynasty soldiers are flourishing, and the neighboring countries are uneasy, sending the daughter of the clan to marry and kiss is the national policy pursued by your father, and its intention is to appease and make the vassal neighbors return to their hearts, this national policy has been pursued for more than 20 years, but are those neighbors who are afraid of the Tang Dynasty really feel at ease?" The hatred continues to be hateful, the fear continues to be afraid, these emotions can not be solved by sending one or two women out, whether to send women out and kiss, it has no effect on the relationship between countries, but it humiliates the face of my Tang boy and buries the happiness of the Tang princess, so the policy of harmony and kinship can be abolished because it does more harm than good. ”
After a long speech, Li Zhi couldn't help but nod again and again, looking convinced.
"Brother Zizheng is high, and he has remembered it in his heart and been taught." After Li Zhi finished speaking, he bowed to Li Suchang again.
Outside the city gate, the procession of sending off relatives was still coming out, and the carriage in which Princess Wencheng was riding had gradually drifted away, blurring so much that only an outline remained.
Li Su stared for a long time, suddenly raised his hand to point to the carriage, and sighed: "I hope this time is the last time, and I hope she is the last ......."
Li Zhi also stared at the back of the carriage, his hands clenched into fists, his face flushed, and he said in a deep voice: "If you are the emperor, you will abolish this law, teach me that the sisters of the Li Tang clan are happy, and they will no longer serve the tiger and wolf with an innocent and noble body!" ”
Li Suzhan smiled approvingly: "Very good, in this way, it is not in vain for me to help you." ”
Li Zhi scratched his head, and said with a puzzled expression: "Zhicai is shallow in learning, there is something unclear, which dynasty and which generation is the strong dynasty you mentioned just now?" Zhi also read the history roughly, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand what dynasty it was, and asked Brother Zizheng to teach him. ”
Li Suzheng said: "Therefore, people still have to read more, the books you read are far from enough, you should save yourself...... The dynasty I'm talking about is far away from our Tang Dynasty, far away in the sky, located in a place called 'Dongsheng Shenzhou', with your current brain, it's hard for me to explain it to you, but I told a fictional story. ”
************************************************************************
"Build a royal mansion, recruit guests, summon staff, and form courtiers!"
In a wine shop in Chang'an East City, Li Zhi waved his fist and foamed at the mouth.
Li Su looked at him coldly, the little kid probably thought that he was the kind of high-spirited and repulsive image at this moment, right? In fact, it was so ugly that people couldn't help but want to smoke him.
After the clamour, Li Zhi sat down unsatisfied, drank a glass of grapes that were lighter than water in a heroic manner, pretended to grin his teeth and drank the alcohol standard, and drank "Good wine!" ”
Li Su's eyelids jumped.
I want to smoke him even more, what should I do?
After doing this set of seemingly manly actions, Li Zhi knelt down on the seat calmly, looked at Li Su seriously, and said, "This is the idea of governing the desire to fight for the position of the prince, what does Brother Zizheng think?" ”
Li Su didn't raise his eyebrows, and hummed lightly.
Li Zhi was anxious: "What does 'um' mean?" ”
Li Su touched his nose and said slowly: "'Hmm' means...... Before I judge this low-level and childish claim of yours, can I let me slap you? Not much, just a slap, and the patience will pass......"
"Why?" Li Zhi was stunned.
"Because you looked really bad just now, while you haven't become a prince yet, I want to smoke first, and when you become the prince, I'll be embarrassed to poison you......"
Li Zhi touched his face blankly: "...... Is it really that underdrawn? ”
Li Su raised his eyes and looked at him with a serious expression: "Really, if you looked in the mirror just now, I believe you would also whip yourself hard, and if you don't smoke, you'll be sorry for your unicorn arm......"
Li Zhi was dejected and sighed: "Actually...... I'm an adult, I'm fifteen. Don't all adults drink and eat meat and promiscuity like I do? ”
"Adults don't look at what you look like, but look at how you behave like you, I will give you at most a 'Dong Shi Xiaofeng' comment on your appearance just now, this is polite, change your mouth to a poisonous point, probably say'Everyone gets punished for it', you see, how hard it ...... hit"
Li Zhi glared at him with a dark face: "You're welcome, you've said it...... Okay, you tell me, I want to fight for the prince, are those just a few feasible? ”
Li Su sneered: "Build a palace, recruit guests, summon staff, and form courtiers? ”
Li Zhi nodded expectantly.
Li Su snorted: "Tell me first, which bastard taught you these things?" ”
Li Zhi blinked: "That's what Brother Wei did, he has been competing with the prince for favor all these years, plotting to replace him, after the prince was deposed, Brother Wei immediately integrated the power of the court, and now half of the courtiers think that he is the future prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the situation like today is all planned by the staff in his palace over the years, is there anything wrong with me taking effect?" ”
Li Su glanced at him with disdain, and said: "Little fart child, before the hair grows, you learn to play intrigue and tricks with adults, at your age, this city, there is no talent and no virtue, there are no connections in the court, there are no strategists around, who have you played?" Most of the so-called doorman staff are speculative, they are only responsible for making random ideas around you, and you have to use your own net worth and life to bet on whether their ideas are correct or not, if you win, they will have the merit of the dragon, and from then on soar to the top, if you lose, you are disgusted or even degraded by your father, they pat their butts and find the next fool to continue to fool, now I ask you again, are those stupid things you just said serious? ”
Li Zhi's face was flushed with a squeeze, and he was waiting for a long time before he stammered: "No, it's not...... Just now it was just a joke, Brother Zizheng didn't take it seriously. ”
Li Suzhan smiled and said: "It's not the best, otherwise if I know that the guy I am dedicated to assisting is actually a fool, I will be too tired in this life, your life has just begun, it doesn't matter if you don't understand some things, just keep your eyes open and keep silent, watch more, listen more, talk less, and drop the grade as soon as you speak, and when you really understand, you will speak again, and then every word you say, everyone in the world will stop and listen, this is the quality that a man should really have." ”
Li Zhi hurriedly saluted solemnly: "Thank you Brother Zizheng, Zhi has been taught again." ”
Li Su said leisurely: "As for what you said about building a palace, summoning staff, forming courtiers and other stupid things, you should dispel your mind as soon as possible, don't do any of them, once you do it, I dare to use my head to guarantee that you will not have a chance to be the crown prince in this life, and it is good not to end up with a derogatory thousand miles." ”
Li Zhi was stunned and said, "What Brother Wei can do, why can't I do it?" ”
Li Su shook his head and sighed: "You are different from King Wei, King Wei is studious, knowledgeable, deeply favored by your father, and the most reasonable and legitimate candidate for the future prince of the Tang Dynasty, you see, he has so many advantages, and has a suitable identity and position, and you ......, tell me, what are your own advantages?" ”
Li Zhi looked like a mentally handicapped child and kept blinking: "............"
Seeing him look stupid, Li Su couldn't help but feel a sense of uneasiness in his heart, could this guy really be a fool? Judging from the face alone, it's really stupid, is your choice wrong? (To be continued.) )
