Chapter 767: Jin Jue's Profound Meaning
Li Su's personality is the same as the big things he has done, and everyone knows it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not have a bad impression of Li Su, and they were all willing to have friendly dealings with him, and there were many reasons for this, perhaps because Li Su was friendly to the world, or maybe Li Su was low-key and unassuming, of course, including Li Su's character.
Li Su's personality is too lazy, and he is not interested in the fame and fortune that the world is keen on, because there is no conflict of interest with everyone, so everyone is willing to associate with him.
Everyone is happy to see Li Su just lazy, especially Li Shimin, who often scolds Li Su for not seeking progress and having no ambitions, but if one day Li Su suddenly becomes diligent and enterprising, is Li Shimin really willing to see it? The so-called "enterprising" word, itself with the taste of ambition, as a courtier, too enterprising is often not a good thing, a mind to make contributions, the emperor will promote you again and again, from the county to the king of the county, and so on to find that your merits are not enough even to seal the king of the county, then, it is not far from the head, the temple in the world is small, can not accommodate you as a god, or you change the map to see the fairy world?
However, as Li Su's elder, Li Ji is really dissatisfied with Li Su's lack of progress, this dissatisfaction has no purpose, it is purely a heartache for the younger generation.
"You are a rare intelligent person in the world, with unpredictable skills, but unfortunately you were born in a peasant family since you were a child, your mother died early, and your father didn't know how to teach, so your vision is too small, you don't know where you learned this ability, but your temperament is really a pity......" Li Ji shook his head and sighed.
Li Su said with a smile: "Uncle is right, it's just nature, it's hard to change, and although the nephew has been indifferent these years, he has never been less famous, and a person like me can be made an exception by His Majesty in his twenties to be named a county duke, uncle, if I have a little more enterprising heart, don't make a few more contributions, Your Majesty once again made an exception to make me a prince of the country or even a county king with a different surname, then, what about the future?" If I make more meritorious deeds in the future, how should Your Majesty reward me? ”
Li Ji's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly looked around left and right, and after finding that there was no one around, he sighed slowly: "If you really get to that point, Your Majesty will have nothing else to reward except for a glass of wine......
Li Su said with a smile: "My nephew doesn't drink well, so he generally doesn't drink, especially the kind of deadly wine, whether he can drink it or not." What does my uncle think? ”
Li Ji was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and sighed: "You are right, Mu Xiu Yulin is not as good as hiding clumsy, the old man has been fighting for half his life, in recent years, he often feels that a harmonious court is not as happy as fighting on the battlefield, and he is at the height of the temple, the more he feels that the wind is loud, and the grass and trees are all soldiers......"
Li Su was startled, looked up at him in surprise, and couldn't figure out why Li Ji would say these words today, there seemed to be a deep meaning in it.
Li Ji smiled and said, "You are the nephew of the old man, and the old man can only talk to you about these disrespectful thoughts......"
"Why did Uncle say that?"
Li Ji sighed and said: "In recent years, Your Majesty has become more and more arbitrary, especially after Li Chengqian's rebellion, His Majesty's temperament has become more and more irritable, and he has become more and more unable to listen to the advice of the courtiers, Zhenguan nine years ago, the courtiers entered ten advices, His Majesty can usually accept eight advices, and now the advice received is less than three percent of the original, Wei Zheng in the palace is famous for daring to speak out, in the past two years, Wei Zheng's advice has repeatedly hit a wall, sometimes His Majesty does not even want to see him, Wei Zheng has been depressed for a long time, resentment and illness, and it seems that it is only a few days, he ...... I was sick by His Majesty's anger. ”
Li Su pursed her lips.
There is no perfect person in the world, and there can be no perfect emperor. The words "majestic and magnificent" have always been just decorations in history books, and all the perfect halos are added by false rumors, and Li Shimin is not exempt from vulgarity.
It is undeniable that he is indeed a successful emperor, however, in the journey of life, you must not look back, because what is left behind is the past, the past is too failed, it is inevitable to give birth to frustration, and the past is too successful, then arrogant and indulgent.
Li Shimin is now looking back too much, when he looks back on the past, he finds that from his accession to the throne to the present, he has created such a peaceful and prosperous era, laid down such a vast territory, and the subordinates of all countries are so in awe and surrender to him...... The merits are vivid, who can not swell? In this case, how can the courtiers listen to him if they give him good advice?
Li Ji's expression was a little heavy, and then said: "Your Majesty not only does not accept advice now, but also gradually becomes suspicious of your subordinates, on the first night of this year, Your Majesty feasted the courtiers, and transferred us and other twelve generals to their posts, and the old departments of the major generals were disrupted and transferred, and now the guards of Chang'an City are really soldiers who do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, not only that, by uprooting the former prince's remnants, His Majesty has nearly 100 innocent courtiers, and many courtiers who have nothing to do with the prince have also been inexplicably dismissed and imprisoned and raided their homes......"
"In the past, His Majesty often summoned us and other founding ministers and military generals into the palace to inquire about the state strategy, but now we take the initiative to ask for an audience and can not get it, it is said that Your Majesty has summoned some monks into the palace since last year, practiced the Taoist law, and followed the example of Qin Shi Huang to seek immortality ...... alchemy."
Sighing heavily, Li Ji looked up at the sky and sighed with a depressed expression: "The situation in Chang'an is becoming more and more unpredictable!" ”
Li Su's eyes widened, he has always been respectful of Li Shimin, unless Li Shimin is called, he almost never takes the initiative to enter the palace, so he knows very little about the affairs of the palace, today Li Ji said, Li Su knew that Li Shimin was becoming more and more degenerate.
For the emperor who is in charge of the country, his personal depravity is a disaster for the whole world.
"Your Majesty actually followed Emperor Qin's alchemy to seek immortality?" Li Su was taken aback, then frowned, and his expression became solemn: "This is the way to die, uncle, this is not possible, it will cause chaos in the world." ”
Li Ji glanced at him and snorted, "Do you still need to say it?" Those so-called Daoist warlocks, the clear-eyed people know that they are liars, and the elixir they refine does not know what kind of poison it is, how many emperors have been alchemizing pills throughout the ages and seeking longevity, and His Majesty often said in his early years that his life is fixed for a few days, and he cannot be forced, the so-called 'longevity', like a mirror, is unreachable, but now, he has completely forgotten what he said at the beginning, and the deeper he is addicted to alchemy, the courtiers have repeatedly admonished him and refused, and in the long run, His Majesty's life is worried......"
Li Su blurted out: "It's better to let the little nephew find an opportunity to enter the palace......"
Li Ji immediately intercepted and said: "No, you can't advise on this matter, Your Majesty is when your heart is lonely, and the advice is not only useless, but it will cause trouble, and it is a meaningless move, Zizheng, don't talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty, in previous years, Your Majesty and the courtiers only thought you were a smart child, so you have gone through so many disasters, and the monarchs and ministers don't care about you, and now you are getting older, and you have been made an exception to be crowned the county prince, and now you are no longer the child of the year, what you have said and done, you have to take care of yourself, No one will laugh anymore and gently lift the ......"
Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then sighed in dismay.
Looking at the world, it is difficult to find a bosom friend, who would know that in fact, he has been a baby all his life......
Sighing secretly, Li Su had to accept the fact that he was no longer a baby, settled down, and asked a question that had been lingering for a long time.
"Uncle, Your Majesty's title of nephew, I'm afraid this move is not just because of my merits, right? Is there another meaning behind Your Majesty? ”
This problem has been bothering Li Su for a long time, when Li Shimin was promoted to the rank of lord in Ganlu Palace, Li Su was sensitive to the fact that his promotion was not simple, Li Shimin has been deliberately pressing his own promotion path over the years, although it is because of his age, he is also worried that it will be difficult to block the mouth of the world because of his age, and now Li Shimin has tried his best to promote himself to the county prince, I am afraid that there is another article in it.
Li Jihan glanced at him with a smile and said, "You are keen, you can actually detect that there is another way in this matter, and it is not in vain that you have cultivated the Tao over the years." ”
Li Su smiled bitterly: "The little nephew has never dared to set foot in the court too deep in the court over the years, at best, he walks by the river, but even if he walks by the river, he will inevitably get his shoes wet, and he can barely get a glimpse of the doorway, but he can see it but can't see through it, and the little nephew is really ashamed......"
Li Ji smiled: "At your age, it is rare to be able to see it, so you don't have to be harsh on yourself......"
After a pause, Li Ji's smile gradually narrowed, and his expression became serious: "The emperor's actions are difficult to guess, the so-called 'sacred heart is unpredictable' is what it means, of course, it is impossible for you to be the lord of Jin...... In my guess, Your Majesty's promotion to your title is indeed due to your great meritorious service this time, although you have always been pressed for your promotion over the years, but this time because of you and the introduction of real rice seeds, benefiting the world, the community is becoming more and more consolidated, if such a great merit is still pressed and not rewarded, I am afraid that it is unreasonable, Your Majesty is not only afraid of chilling your heart, but also afraid of chilling the hearts of the heroes......"
"Second, it is to win over, it is undeniable that the old man still has a bit of weight in the Tang Army, you and the old man are not only a family matter of the Li family, the old man is a prestigious general, you are a rising rookie hero, now the two families have become blood relatives, Your Majesty has to think about it, no matter what you and the old man think, in the eyes of Your Majesty, you are me, I am you, the two families are actually the same family, and the interests are also closely related, so Your Majesty promoted your title, which also has the meaning of showing grace to the old man, Let you and I know the glory of divine grace, and not have two hearts with the heavenly family......"
Li Su nodded, he had already guessed these two reasons, but I am afraid that it will not be so simple behind Jin Jue.
Li Ji was silent for a moment, and then said: "Three, the old man privately speculated about the Sacred Heart, and I am afraid that the Lord of Jin is related to the newly established Prince of the East Palace......"
Li Su was stunned and looked at Li Ji in amazement.
Li Ji said lightly: "Don't be so surprised, the former prince's rebellion failed, the position of the East Palace is vacant, and it is only a matter of time before Your Majesty appoints a new prince......
"But uncle, Your Majesty has newly established the East Palace, what does it have to do with your nephew?"
"Who said it has nothing to do with you? His Majesty's more than a dozen princes are staring at the position of the East Palace, but as everyone knows, there are only two princes who really hope to win the East Palace, King Wei and King Jin, because they are the eldest grandson and queen, and the rule of the Heavenly Family has always been to establish the eldest and not the young, and the heir is not to be established, unless these two princes are too poor in character and morality, otherwise there is basically no hope for other princes......"
After taking a deep look at Li Su, Li Ji said: "King Wei and King Jin, I'm afraid my friendship with you is not shallow, right?" ”
Li Su smiled bitterly: "The relationship between the King of Jin and me is indeed good, but the King of Wei and I are like enemies and friends, when it comes to friendship, I can't help but be a little ashamed, except for the little nephew who has pit him a few times, basically has not done anything too touching to let His Royal Highness the King of Wei take me as a confidant......"
Li Ji sneered: "That little entanglement between you and the King of Wei is just a child's play in the eyes of the court and the courtiers, whether it is a friend or a hate, it's just one thing, a few days ago, the King of Wei took the initiative to come to the door and tried to win you over, but you refused, this matter has spread all over the court, do you think Your Majesty doesn't know?" This matter may be regarded as a joke, but Your Majesty is afraid that he has paid attention, since the King of Wei took the initiative to win you over, of course, he took a fancy to your intelligence, the King of Jin is simple by nature, and his friendship with you is naturally because of the fate of the two of you in Jinyang side by side, whether the future prince of the Tang Dynasty is the King of Wei or the King of Jin, you are very important to the two of them, so Your Majesty will lift you up before setting up the new prince, as the old minister of the East Palace in the future, and the new monarch will be established after a few years, and you will be in ruins. With you, a rare hero in the Tang Dynasty, there will be no chaos in the alternating period of the old and the new in the Tang Dynasty......"
