Chapter 65: Top 10 Scum Fathers in History
"Brother, are we really not going home in the future?" Qi Niang shrank in Li Xiu's arms, and said with a little worry on her fair little face.
"If you don't go back, where your brother is in the future, it will be Qi Niang's home!" Li Xiu smiled and said, while trying to protect Qi Niang in his arms, her fever had just subsided, Li Xiu was worried that she would be affected by the wind again, so he rode very slowly, fortunately, today's weather was also good, and the sun was shining warmly on people.
"Hmm!" Qi Niang's little head was tightly attached to Li Xiu's chest, and in her heart, her brother's arms were the safest place in the world.
Qi Niang just had a fever, but the illness was not completely cured, and her body was also very weak, and she drank soothing medicine before, and she was about to fall asleep but was woken up by Li Jing, plus riding on a horse together, it was easy to arouse people's sleepiness, so after Qi Niang and Li Xiu said a few words, they dozed off again, and finally fell asleep in Li Xiu's arms.
Looking at Qi Niang's sleeping little face, Li Xiu slowed down the horse again, so as not to wake her up, and secondly, he was also worried that walking too fast and the wind was too strong, which would make Qi Niang in his sleep catch a cold again.
But just as Qi Niang was asleep, there was a rush of carriage sound behind him, and then he saw a carriage catching up with Li Xiu and him, and then the window was opened, revealing Li Shimin's smiling face inside.
"Li ......" Li Shimin wanted to speak, but when he saw Qi Niang who was already asleep in Li Xiu's arms, he immediately smiled and did not say any more, but made a gesture to let Li Xiu get into the car.
When he was in the hospital before, Li Shimin once helped Li Xiu take care of Qi Niang, although the thing of human affection cannot be seen or touched, but once it is owed, it will be very troublesome, plus Qi Niang is still sick, sitting in the carriage is better than riding on a horse to blow the wind.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu got off the horse after a little hesitation, and then got into the carriage with Qi Niang, only to see that the carriage was quite wide, and there was a soft couch inside, Li Xiu was not polite to Li Shimin, so he put Qi Niang on the soft couch at the moment, and carefully helped her cover the blanket.
Seeing Li Xiu's cautious appearance, Li Shimin also smiled slightly, and took the initiative to get out of the car with Li Xiu at the moment, and then got on their horses, and then Li Shimin spoke: "Captain Li, was your behavior a little too impulsive just now, although General Li wronged you, but you went out of the house again, I am afraid it will have some impact on your reputation." ”
"Thank you Your Highness for reminding me, but this is also a matter of time or time, my personality is too strong, I really can't be General Li's good son, since that's the case, it's better to leave early, it's good for everyone!" Li Xiu said indifferently, he didn't regret the matter of going out of the house at all, and even now he felt very relaxed, as if the things that had bound him had disappeared all of a sudden.
Hearing that Li Xiu didn't even call the title of "father", but changed his name to call Li Jing General Li, this made Li Shimin smile helplessly, thought about it and spoke again: "General Ma has already told us the truth of the matter just now, I think General Li is also a little remorseful, if Captain Li goes back now, maybe the misunderstanding can be solved." ”
When he said this, Li Shimin was probably afraid that Li Xiu would misunderstand that he was Li Jing's lobbyist, so he paused and continued: "Of course, this time the incident is indeed General Li's fault, he yelled at Captain Li without understanding the reason for the matter, and usually neglects your brothers and sisters too much, in the eyes of this king, an outsider, General Li is indeed not a good father, but ......"
"Wait a minute, Your Highness also thinks he's not a good father?" Li Xiu stared at Li Shimin with a strange face at this time and asked.
"Of course, I am also a father, although I am usually very busy, I still care about my children very much, and at this point, I ask myself to be better than General Li!" Li Shimin said confidently at this time.
"Uh~" At this time, Li Xiu's gaze at Li Shimin was even more strange, and even the muscles on his face twitched all the time, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't bear the feeling of not laughing out loud? But in the end, Li Xiu finally couldn't hold back, he suddenly laughed when he was riding on the horse, and even laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, tears came out of his eyes, and the whole person lay on the horse's back and twitched.
"You...... What are you laughing at? Li Shimin was also baffled by Li Xiu's laughter, as if what he said just now was nothing ridiculous, could it be that Li Xiu was motivated by the stimulation of leaving the house, which caused him to lose his mind?
"I didn't ...... It's okay, Your Highness, don't get me wrong, my laughter has nothing to do with you, I just thought about it...... Thinking of a very funny thing, hahahaha~" Li Xiu laughed wildly while holding his stomach, and explained breathlessly.
Li Shimin even has the face to say that others are not a good father, and even more confident than Li Jing, but look at his sons in later generations, fighting for the throne, rebelling and rebelling, and even Li Shimin slaughtered one with his own hands, more than a dozen sons almost did not end well, and the daughter was also uneasy, the reason for such a tragedy, Li Shimin, the failed father, almost had to bear more than half of the responsibility.
Of course, it is undeniable that Li Shimin is a great emperor, and if the emperors in history are ranked according to their merits, Li Shimin can definitely enter the top three. But a good emperor does not mean a good father, just like Li Jing is known as the god of the Tang Dynasty, but he is still not a good father, and even Li Xiu thinks that if he ranks one of the top ten scum fathers in history, Li Shimin can definitely be on the list, and being his son is simply a blood mold for eight lifetimes.
In addition, Li Shimin is not only a scumbag father, but also made a bad example for the descendants of the Li family in the future, seizing the throne from the Xuanwumen Incident, and then the inheritance of the throne of the Tang Dynasty has not been smooth, almost every emperor stepped on the bones of others to ascend the throne, and many of these bones are their closest relatives.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help laughing louder, no matter how wise Li Shimin was, I am afraid that he didn't realize that he was actually a bad father at all, and even proudly thought that he was better than Li Jing, and it was estimated that only when he recalled the past in his later years would he realize how ridiculous his current thoughts were.
Li Xiu, who was laughing wildly, almost fell off the horse, and finally managed to stop laughing, but whenever he looked at Li Shimin, he had the urge to laugh. Li Shimin is not stupid, although Li Xiu said that it has nothing to do with him, but he always feels that Li Xiu seems to be laughing because of himself, but he can't think of what makes him funny? As a result, this also annoyed a little.
"Your Highness forgives your sins, but you lost your ...... just now Gaffe! Li Xiu saw that Li Shimin's face was wrong, and hurriedly apologized, but when he said the end, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Li Shimin is not a good father, but his bearing is very comparable, so I saw that he quickly controlled his emotions, and after thinking about it for a while, he changed the topic and said: "Captain Li, you are so young and a genius, do you have any plans for the future?" ”
Li Shimin's words were there, and even showed a little solicitation again, but Li Xiu deliberately replied as if he didn't understand: "Your Highness is too high, I don't have any genius, I'm just a mediocre person with no ambitions, after leaving the Li Mansion, I plan to take my little sister to live together, teach her to read and write, and find a reliable husband for her in the future, there are so many plans for the time being, let's take one step at a time!" ”
With Li Shimin's shrewdness, he naturally saw that Li Xiu deliberately staggered his words, which made him angry, and after a while, he said helplessly: "Captain Li, this king treats him with sincerity, why don't you treat me with sincerity?" ”
Li Shimin was also tired of going around in circles at this time, and almost directly picked out the attitude of asking Li Xiu, which made Li Xiu unavoidable, and could only answer Li Shimin's question head-on.
Li Xiu didn't expect Li Shimin to be so direct, he saw him riding on the horse and was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "Your Highness, there are many talents in the Qin Palace, Fang Xuanling is resourceful, Du Ruhui is decisive, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong are even more brave champions of the three armies, and there is also the eldest grandson Wuji, who is both civil and military, can help you control the overall situation, so many talents, isn't Your Highness enough?" ”
In the face of Li Shimin's several solicitations, in fact, Li Xiu wanted to ask face-to-face: Your Royal Highness King Qin, what do you like about me, and I can't change it?
"Of course it's not enough, my Tang Dynasty foundation is not stable, and talents are needed everywhere, Captain Li has the talent to govern the world, why don't you want to become an official and help the king?" Li Shimin stared at Li Xiu with blazing eyes at this time, the previous words were nothing, but the last sentence unreservedly exposed Li Shimin's ambition, and even said this kind of thing, obviously forcing Li Xiu to express his attitude.
Li Xiu is also in a dilemma at this time, from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want to get involved in the fight between Li Shimin's brothers at all, but if he doesn't agree to him now, he will definitely offend the other party because of this, even if Li Shimin can't do anything about him now, but when he wins the throne in the future, there will definitely be no good fruit for Li Xiu to eat.
But at this moment, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and then I saw two horses galloping over, and the one in front was Ma Ye, which made Li Xiu almost cry with excitement, Ma Ye came in such a timely manner. However, to Li Xiu's surprise, the person behind Ma Ye turned out to be Pei Ju, don't look at his age, but he is very easy to ride on a horse, obviously much stronger than Li Xiu's riding skills.
As soon as Ma Ye approached, he glanced at Li Xiu before he spoke, signaling Pei Ju behind him to find him for something, which made Li Xiu stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Pei Ju originally went to Li Mansion to discuss the marriage between his daughter and himself, but now that he is out of the house, this marriage is not easy to handle, it is estimated that Pei Ju is here to ask for an explanation, what can I do?
