Chapter Forty-Six: The Sky Has No Eyes
Li Deyu was silent, because he didn't know how to answer, because this is the law of survival in this world, because this is unreasonable, because a person's birth determines his ultimate fate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Does Zhao Wan deserve to die? Does the kid deserve to die? Li Zhen cried and laughed, "Zhao Wan's Aya is dead, what kind of deep hatred does it have to be killed?" Could it be that if you don't live one Zhao Wan, the world will be in chaos? Could it be that if Zhao Wan dies, the world will be leveled? ”
Li Deyu's expression was complicated when he heard this, and he didn't know how to persuade Li Zhen, because he was also powerless.
"The kid is just in the year of the dancing elephant, he doesn't see much, he doesn't hear much, and in the same way, he can't do much, but this time the kid has no regrets, even if the kid chooses again, the kid will still do it!"
"If the kid dies because of this, then he can only blame this Tang Dynasty, blame the world, and blame the sky for being blind!" Li Zhen had no tears on his face when he said this.
"Qingluan!" Li Deyu finally spoke, "The old man has read countless people in his life, but now he can't see through you, a sixteen-year-old baby, no one who hears your words today will never believe that you can say it at your age, the old man doesn't know what you have experienced since childhood, but you always see this world too simply!" ”
"I remember that during the reign of Taizong, Wei Xiang said that water can carry a boat or overturn a boat, this sentence has been passed down by descendants for hundreds of years, and it has been believed for hundreds of years, but the old man feels that this is just a lie!" Li Deyu got up and paced slowly.
"This world is a world where officials respect and the people are inferior, if this point remains unchanged, then this sentence is always just an empty word, and you have thought about it, this point is impossible to change! There are too many things in this world that we can't do, and there are too many unsatisfactory things. We can't see it, and we can't control it! ”
"Just like ......" Speaking of this, Li Deyu suddenly froze, and then waved his hand helplessly.
At this time, I only heard Li Zhen and then said: "Just like the envoy! ”
Li Deyu turned around slowly, his face gloomy, his eyes shining.
"Twice worshiped the prime minister, and twice belittled, if the kid is not mistaken, so that the king in the first emperor to ask Liu Jin, the town of the domain, break back to the Hui, shock Tibet, serve the Southern Zhao, which is not the supreme merit of the thousands, but now? I'm afraid that I will be detained with the hat of forming a party for personal gain and causing chaos to the society, so that you are really willing? ”
As soon as Li Zhen's words came out, Li Deyu became extremely depressed in an instant, as if the deepest scar in his heart was torn apart by his life, and it was also painful.
"Even if even the humerus of the court, who is an extremely popular minister like the envoy, will inevitably fall into such a situation, how can those small people in the market have a choice?" Li Zhen then said, looking at Li Deyu intently.
"Don't talk nonsense, the old man is a minister, he naturally has to do his best, this is the duty of a courtier, your majesty is now sacred, discerning the outline of the dynasty, the old man is naturally very pleased, in the final analysis, whether it is Your Majesty or the old man, it is all for my Tang Dynasty to be able to live forever, and it is natural for a courtier to be of the same heart as Your Majesty, and words like you must not be said again in the future!"
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Love is put on the knees, and evil falls into the abyss, is this the way to be a king?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Li Deyu was furious when he heard this, but then he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Be cautious, be cautious!" ”
After saying that, Li Deyu turned around and walked out of the cell, but Li Zhen's voice came from behind him: "The kid dares to persuade you, there are some things we can't change, so we can only accept it, just follow it!" ”
Li Deyu stood in place for a long time when he heard this, and then slowly left, just after Li Zhen finished saying this, his originally straight waist suddenly became a little rickety, and it looked boring.
After Li Deyu left, Li Zhen sighed and muttered to himself: "It's hard to protect yourself, but you still have the heart to persuade others!" ”
For Li Deyu, Li Zhen still respects more from the bottom of his heart, although he is the leader of the Li Party in the "Niu Li Party Dispute", which is extremely criticized by later generations, but this is not his reason, and more of this is also caused by the environmental system at that time, resulting in the situation that it is impossible for Niu and Li to coexist peacefully.
However, compared with the decline of the state caused by the mediocrity and inaction of the Niu Party when it was in power, Li Deyu's party adopted a more positive attitude towards handling national affairs, just like the issue of feudal towns, the Niu Party advocated appeasement and accommodation, and negotiated peace, while the Li Party advocated military suppression to strengthen the position of the imperial court.
It was precisely because of the accommodation of the Niu Party that the status and power of the feudal towns were gradually strengthened, which led to the rebellion of the feudal towns during the Wenzong period, and during the Wuzong Dynasty ruled by the Li Party, the feudal towns often did not dare to provoke the authority of the imperial court.
This is the difference, the difference between a capable minister and a mediocre minister, just as Ouyang Xiu's famous "Treatise on Friends" in later generations said: Therefore, he is a monarch, but when he retreats from the villain's pseudo-friend, and uses the true friend of the gentleman, the world will be governed.
In Li Zhen's heart, Li Deyu and his party are the true friends of gentlemen, while Niu Shengyu and Li Zongmin are just pseudo-friends of villains.
But Li Zhen knew that Li Deyu had nothing but derogation for the rest of his days, but he was still lucky, because he met a confidant like Wuzong, and he was also unlucky, because since then he has no confidant, and the righteousness between him and Wuzong has finally become a swan song in the last years of the Tang Dynasty.
And this is the helplessness of this Tang Dynasty, and it is also the helplessness of this world, although Li Zhen is powerless to change, all he can do is to put forward his own advice before he dies, as for how much Li Deyu can listen to, it is unknown.
Li Zhen knew that the so-called "triage of the three law divisions" was just Li Deyu buying more time for himself, and it was impossible for such a crime to be pardoned, not to mention that there was also Bai Minzhong in the DPRK and China.
As Li Zhen said, since he is powerless to change, he can only accept it calmly, not that he is not afraid of death, but that he can only not be afraid of death.
......
Liu Rui's coffin is still parked in the main hall, and it can't be buried for the time being because the auspicious day has not arrived, but Liu Kuo can't wait, not because of his father, but because he finally caught Li Chengye's handle.
The secret agent who was released some time ago finally had an effect, because more than one person saw Li Chengye enter Li Deyu's mansion a few days ago, and he didn't come out until noon until the door was closed, which was enough for Liu Kuo, his father's death was a weight for his own door, and Li Chengye's handle added an extra weight to himself, so Liu Kuo couldn't wait, looking forward to the early passage of this year, and he would be able to officially become an official in the Chang'an court after being crowned next year.
