Chapter 300: Worries
Walking out of the Taiji Palace, Li Su's expression was heavy.
Li Shimin's ruthless face repeatedly appeared in his mind, Li Shimin, who was sitting in the hall just now, with an expressionless face, may be the real Heavenly Khan His Majesty who everyone looks up to and praises, time goes back a little further, eleven years ago, when he ordered to kill his brother in Xuanwu Gate and led the troops to force Li Yuan to abdicate, it was probably the same expression just now.
Big people have always been born with a heart of stone, which is a necessary condition for becoming a big man, when they are in the current interests, they can be ruthless to sweep away all the obstacles in front of them, father and brother are among their sweeps, only when these obstacles are removed, and when they successfully climb the highest mountain in the world, they will put on a sad face of the past, sigh about the lack of their own life, and remember the various feelings of the year, but those who are missing in his life If they really stand in front of him, he will change his face, categorically ordered to be killed.
This is the big man, people live in the play, but they can see the play better than anyone else.
It was already evening when he walked out of the palace gate, and the city gate was about to close again, Li Su thought about it, rode his horse and galloped towards the city gate.
Riding a horse in Chang'an City was originally the glory given to him by Li Shimin, but the courtiers who got this glory generally did not ride horses and galloped in Chang'an City, this is a measure of proportion, having this glory does not mean that you can be unscrupulous, the emperor is just polite to you, but normal people will not take politeness as a blessing.
Today, Li Su was not polite, and rode on a horse and galloped out of the city from Taiji Palace. He wanted to vent, to run wild in this world where he had no choice but to run wild.
…………
When I got home, the moon had risen in the east, and the night was as cool as water.
The house is still calm, Steward Xue is still chattering behind him, and the headlines in the Li Mansion today are still not explosive enough. It's just that the watchdog Tianci is naughty, and he ran into the chicken coop in the backyard, and scared a group of chickens at home to fly, and the real chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and the direct consequence was that the hens at home were so scared that they didn't dare to lay eggs, and Tianci had a mouthful of chicken feathers in his mouth. With the glory of sweeping the chicken coop, he left with great scenery, and he made two sounds, and probably explained two sentences to the chickens, such as don't let me touch you in the future, see a bite once, etc., the chickens also crow, probably calling for good neighborliness and peaceful coexistence. I can't do it.
"Good dog!" Steward Xue praised very unprincipledly: "Shaolangjun didn't see the majestic posture of the heavens rushing to the chicken nest, it is really like a lion fighting a rabbit, invincible, if His Majesty invites Shaolangjun to hunt in the future, bringing it to the heavens will definitely make Shaolangjun's face bright." ”
Li Su sighed: "Uncle Xue, don't have a conscience, you still fight the lion and the rabbit, and you are invincible, what a good word." Can't you keep it for praise in the future? It's not bad for it...... What about God's gifts? Call it here, and now you don't hang it up and smoke it......"
Steward Xue smiled and pleaded: "It's just a dog." It's less than half a year old, and it's the time to run around to get suspicious, the nature of a dog, Shaolangjun still spare it. ”
"Well, I'm not in the mood to smoke it today, Uncle Xue warned it on my behalf. I still want to eat dog meat at the beginning of spring, and if I don't want to eat it in my bowl, I will give me some points. ”
Steward Xue nodded in response, and then pondered with his eyebrows, obviously thinking about how to phrase a dog in order to achieve the effect of deterrence.
In the backyard wing. The food was still hot, the wine was warm on the stove, and the white mist was rising, and when you stepped into the hallway, you felt a strong warmth of home.
The dishes on the table were very large, and it was obvious that Xu Mingzhu did not steal them tonight.
As soon as Li Su sat down cross-legged on the couch, Xu Mingzhu came in listening to the voice, first greeted Li Suxing, and then poured him full wine, Li Su drank a glass, and Xu Mingzhu immediately filled it again.
The husband and wife are very quiet, probably tired of each other's false politeness, so they simply chose silence, the difference is that Xu Mingzhu wants to gradually approach him in silence, while Li Su just wants to maintain the current status quo of the couple in silence, and it is best that this status quo can be maintained for the rest of their lives.
After eating, Xu Mingzhu consciously returned to her room, she knew that this was the time for her husband to deal with official business, although even Li Su didn't know where the so-called official business was.
Tonight was a little different, when Xu Mingzhu saluted and left the room, Li Su suddenly stopped her.
Xu Mingzhu was a little surprised, looked at her husband in astonishment, and saw that her husband's smile was warm and kind, not like after taking the wrong medicine, so she sat honestly in front of Li Su with a little joy.
Li Su looked at her and smiled naturally, still as polite as usual.
"Since my wife got married, I haven't had a deep conversation with my wife, and I still feel guilty when I think about it, and I can't help but snub my wife."
Xu Mingzhu hurriedly shook his head: "What did the husband say, the husband works for the country and the people, and he is a big man who stands up to the sky, and the concubine is just a woman's family, and the husband doesn't have to care about the concubine." ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Husband and wife always have to talk, life is like this, big and small things are not hidden from each other, first put it on the table and say, and then decide ...... after discussion"
Although Xu Mingzhu was only sixteen years old, he was not stupid, and he quickly heard the taste of Li Su's words, and said carefully: "What does the husband mean...... Want to discuss something with your concubine? ”
"Yes, there is one thing I want to hear from you, and if you think you can't do it, I don't say anything today."
"Is it a family affair?" Xu Mingzhu asked cautiously.
Li Su scratched his head: "It's a matter of the imperial court, but it's also a family matter, if I do this, it may have a great impact on our family." ”
Xu Mingzhu was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand: "How can the husband of the court discuss with the concubine, a woman?" It's a joke to say it, the concubine can't be a person anymore, what does the husband want to do, just do it, even if our family is involved, the concubine will accompany the husband to live a hard life. ”
Li Su smiled: "I still have to say it, you and I are husband and wife, and you also have to participate in the affairs of the family. ”
Xu Mingzhu's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Li Su said this easily, but she heard a heavy taste, a matter can be put on the table by her husband to discuss with her seriously, it can be seen that this matter must be not small.
Xu Mingzhu didn't dare to respond at this time, thought about it seriously, and said, "This matter ...... What is the worst consequence after the husband does it? ”
Li Su sighed: "Beheading is unlikely, but it is possible to be dismissed, beheaded, exiled, or even imprisoned in Dali Temple for a few years, probably not worse than these." ”
Xu Mingzhu's heart tightened, she had never experienced the wind and waves, her eyes were suddenly full of tears, she tried her best to hold back and not let it fall, she was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Does the husband have a reason to do this?" ”
"Yes!" Li Su's expression gradually became cold, and he said in a deep voice: "My original intention of doing this is not for the country and the people, for the country and the people, there are a lot of people who rush to throw their heads and spill blood in front of me, I am not so great, I can shrink back a little bit, I can shrink back a little, but the world is about personal justice, conscience and kindness, I can't avoid it, so I can only go head-on!" ”
Xu Mingzhu sniffed and choked up: "Since the husband has a reason to do it, let it go, the concubine has nothing to help, she can only desperately keep our family well, with your father-in-law, you and your concubine, this family is the ......"
However, Xu Mingzhu is a woman after all, and after finishing speaking, there was still an inexplicable unwillingness in her heart, her mouth was deflated, and she cried loudly, wiping her tears aggrievedly, but she still didn't know whether to comfort herself or comfort Li Su, and choked up with tears: "The husband lets go and does it, the concubine knows that everything the husband does must be right...... Before I got married, my mother taught me that I must listen to my husband and be a virtuous wife, so that I can please my husband, and my husband has refused to have sex with my concubine until now, it must be that the concubine did not please my husband, and my husband doesn't have to pay attention to the concubine, let it go, woo woo woo woo ......"
Li Su looked at her deeply, and it was not until tonight that he discovered many true faces of this wife, lovely, simple, and strong...... Like a pearl buried deep in the dust, as long as you are willing to discover it, every time you gently brush off a layer of dust, you can see this pearl bloom with a trace of unusual and different colors.
Looking at Xu Mingzhu's crying appearance, Li Su suddenly smiled.
"Madame, don't cry, it's not that serious, the worst is to go to prison, and you can probably come out after a few days, our family won't be broken, Madame don't worry."
Xu Mingzhu suppressed her crying and sobbed: "What is the husband going to do, how much can the concubine guess...... Recently, it has been rumored that His Majesty wants to build Daming Palace, all of which are said to be the evil government of labor and money, and the uncle of the bull of Langya County who performed the crown ceremony with his husband heard that he was imprisoned in Dali Temple for advising His Majesty, and the husband is determined to follow in the footsteps of Uncle Niu and continue to advise His Majesty, right? ”
Li Suleng paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Madam is really Bingxue smart......
With a whole expression, Li Su said solemnly: "Tomorrow I want to go to the court, men must be responsible for doing things, so I must first settle the family properly, tonight I will work hard Mrs., call the housekeeper and miscellaneous servants at home, and the brothers of the Wang family, transfer the money and silver cakes in the treasury, not too much, turn half to find a leeward place in the village to bury, if someone raids the house tomorrow, you and my father can finally save some money to survive, and the family field will not be taken care of, it is the official government, you can't hide it if you want to, and don't care about the house. As long as they have the money in their hands, it doesn't hurt for them to copy other things......"
Xu Mingzhu couldn't stop crying while listening.
Li Su said with a smile: "I'm just taking precautions, in fact, the result will definitely not be so bad, there are few precedents for the family after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and this family will definitely be safe." ”
