Chapter 157: Lack of Firmness
Du Jingtong saw a woman with a height of more than two meters walking over, and in the entire Tang Dynasty, a woman with a height of more than two meters, except for Li Shimin's concubine Wei Qi, I didn't hear of anyone. So when I saw a woman with such a tall height, everyone knew that it was Wei Qi and Wei Guifei who came over. So Du Jingtong was suddenly embarrassed, he despised the county lord of Dingxiang here, but the mother of the other family came to make decisions for her daughter, and this face was really too ruthless.
Wei Jue married Li Shimin for the second time, but she also brought an ex-husband's daughter into the Li family before. However, during the Tang Dynasty, it was very normal for women to remarry, especially when the troubled times had just ended, and even the imperial court would not support those widows to observe festivals. Because it is difficult for widows to survive on their own in the era of agrarian society, how can they survive if they do not remarry as soon as possible? That is also a burden on the government, and it is not conducive to the recovery of the population. In addition, the atmosphere is not as perverted as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so that even Wei Qi can marry Li Shimin again, and it doesn't matter if he even brings a daughter in. But fortunately, the ex-husband and Li Shimin are both surnamed Li, so the daughter doesn't have to change her surname. And giving her daughter a county lord will not be too discriminatory because of this. Although this fiefdom is still in the hands of the Turks, sooner or later it will be returned.
Wei Qi, as Li Shimin's pillow person, naturally knew that Li Tang was already brewing the Northern Expedition to the Turks, and Dingxiang County would definitely get it back at that time, and his daughter's identity as the county lord could really be guaranteed.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was generally not much discrimination against the children brought in by his wife, even if it was royal. As long as the economic conditions allow, I will not mind raising a drag oil bottle, of course, only if the economic conditions allow, if the economic conditions do not allow, then say something else.
"Concubine Wei, I'm not ......" Du Jingtong hurriedly wanted to explain, but Wei Jue was not polite.
"Du Jingtong, you look down on my daughter so much, don't you take me seriously? Even, the county lord of Datang, can you look down on casually? Wei Guifei asked.
Du Jingtong was embarrassed and immediately explained: "Concubine Wei, there is no such thing, I have no such thing!" ”
However, Shi Bufan was also thinking: "You were attacking just now, I was defending, and this time it was my turn to attack." Otherwise, I will suffer a loss, and if I don't get back to the field, how will I mix in the future! ”
"Concubine Wei, Du Jingtong actually looks down on the county lord of Dingxiang in his heart, which is why this is the case. As far as I can say, the external object in my eyes is the embodiment of my heart. And the performance of the individual is the manifestation of the cognition in the heart. It is precisely because Du Jingtong looks down on the county lord of Dingxiang in his heart that he feels that the county lord of Dingxiang is inferior, which is the reason why he finally looks down on the county lord of Dingxiang. Therefore, in the final analysis, it is still his heart that looks down on the county lord of Dingxiang, which will show it from his mouth. The consciousness of the human heart cannot deceive people! Shi Bufan said.
Wei Jue asked in a cold voice again, "Really?" ”
"Wei Guifei, I'm me, I'm ...... How could I be? The county lord of Dingxiang is my Datang county lord, how dare I look down on her? Du Jingtong said again.
Shi Bufan then mended the knife and said: "Brother Du, you see what you say!" So the reason why you look up to the county lord of Dingxiang is not because of her, but because she has the identity of the county lord of my Datang, so she can afford him? As for if you strip away this layer of identity, she is worthless in your eyes! ”
"Huh?" Wei Guifei looked at Du Jingtong, and her face became more and more cold.
Although the county lord of Dingxiang was born to himself and his ex-husband, women are not the same as men. Because each child is conceived by themselves in October, they pay a lot for each of their biological children, so that they will treat each of their children as fairly as possible, and will not be particularly different because of who their biological father is. Therefore, although the county lord of Dingxiang is not the daughter of her and Li Shimin, she is also the daughter who was conceived in October, and Li Shimin did not discriminate against her and her ex-husband's daughter because of this, so Wei Jue naturally wouldn't mind. So someone dared to look down on his daughter, which made Wei Jue very annoyed. As a mother, who is not annoyed!
"Wei Guifei, I ......" Du Jingtong couldn't explain, because it was indeed as Shi Bufan said, if there was no identity of the county lord, then Du Jingtong really couldn't look down on the county lord of Dingxiang.
But Wei Guifei is right in front of her, and people can clean themselves up at any time, Du Jingtong can only say against his will: "Wei Guifei, I don't look down on the county lord of Dingxiang." The county lord of Dingxiang is beautiful and luxurious, and has a man's style, so she is really a first-class heroine among women, how can I look down on her? ”
"Oh, Brother Du, your position is not firm! Why are you so susceptible? You should stand your ground, not change your position so easily! If you directly admit that you look down on the county lord, then I will still look down on you, because you insist on your own position and your beliefs, so you are a real man. Even if you prove wrong in the end, then you are a real man who sticks to his position and beliefs. But now that you have changed your position so easily, how do you make others trust you? ”
"If you can easily change your position today, then you may not have loyalty tomorrow! A person who cannot even be loyal to his own position and changes it casually, how can he be expected to be loyal to the king or the lord? Stance is the foundation, the most basic thing. But if you can't even stand your ground, can you guarantee that you are loyal to the king and the lord? ”
Shi Bufan's words are really heartbreaking, Shi Bufan explained that Du Jingtong is not a person who can stand up, thus proving that he is not a person who is loyal to the king, which is really fatal. If a person is not loyal to the king, he will not be reused, let alone appreciated by the king. What about talents, but if a talent is not loyal, it will not only not be able to create benefits for you, but will bring you huge losses and destruction. Therefore, loyalty is the core criterion for every king to select talents, and if they are not loyal, then everything is in vain. It is better to have a loyal philistine than an unloyal talent.
However, Shi Bufan proved that Du Jingtong's position was not firm, which showed that Du Jingtong was not a loyal person, which seems to make some sense! The noble sons around them also nodded one by one, obviously praising the extraordinary statement in this regard. A person who can easily change his position, from small to large, shows that he is a person who can be easily changed. A person who can easily change his position by power, by money, or for some other reason, can always be loyal, this is very doubtful!
Although it may not be really for money and power, but when someone says a few words, it will not be firm, and whether such a person can be trusted is also an important issue. People who change their positions easily will not be loyal in the eyes of most people. Today you are easily persuaded by yourself to change, but tomorrow you may be easily persuaded by others to change your position again. Although he may not be tempted by money and power, he is definitely not a stable person. This kind of unstable person is definitely not a loyal person.
Du Jingtong was really annoyed, this Shi Bufan actually took the opportunity to attack at this time, and took the opportunity to counterattack when he was embarrassed at this time, so that he not only had to face the pressure of Wei Guifei, but also faced Shi Bufan attacking in the back, he was not a human being on both sides!
"Hey, take advantage of his illness to kill him, such a good offensive opportunity, of course I won't let it go! I really think that eloquence means that it must be above board, and it is normal to use some small means when eloquent. At least at this time, you not only have to guard against Wei Guifei, but also against me, then you are really a front and back, and you are not a person inside and out. Seeing that I don't let you be embarrassed today, then I won't have a surname! Shi Bufan thought.
Shi Bufan then refused to let go of this Du Jingtong, but said: "It seems that Brother Du's unfirm position is inherited by Ling Zun!" As the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son! ”
"Hahahaha......"
Everyone inevitably began to laugh unscrupulously, Shi Bufan's words were really ironic that Du Yan's position was not firm, so his son's position was not firm. This is the real general, Du Jingtong, as a son, he can't refute his father.
Du Yan, this guy is definitely a political opportunist who has completely ruined his discipline and has no position. When he was young, he heard that Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian liked to use hermits, so he went to Taibai Mountain to be a "hermit", and deliberately became a "hermit" to sell his reputation and seek fame to attract the attention of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, and then give him a good official position. As a result, it was tragic, and Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, was not a fool and exiled him to a distant place.
Next, he finally became an official during the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, and even became an official in the imperial history. But it was even more tragic, at this time the world was in turmoil, and Wang Shichong rebelled. He became Wang Shichong's official secretary, and later took the opportunity to slander Wang Shichong and killed Du Ruhui's eldest brother. This made Du Ruhui hate this uncle to death, and the relationship between them was almost the same as that of an enemy. Although he did not take the opportunity to kill Du Yan to take revenge, it is impossible to say that the relationship is good. Therefore, if there is a conflict between Shi Bufan and Du Yan, even if Du Ruhui is not familiar with Shi Bufan, he will definitely stand on Shi Bufan's side.
After Li Shimin killed Wang Shichong, this Du Yan came to Li Shimin's command. As a result, he couldn't get promoted for a while, and he wanted to take refuge in Li Jiancheng. It can be said that Du Yan's life is completely the life of a political speculator, if he has a milk, he is a mother, and he has no position at all for the sake of power and wealth.
Now Shi Bufan used Du Yan's example as an excuse to say that if there is a father, there must be a son, this Du Jingtong was suddenly dumb and had nothing to say. His father is this kind of person, and he was used by Shi Bufan as evidence, which is definitely a general's death hole. The ancients believed that Lao Tzu was a hero, and that dragons gave birth to dragons and phoenixes. Du Yan is this kind of person, so under the influence of Du Yan, whether Du Jingtong will be this kind of person, it's hard to say!
So Du Jingtong is now full of mouths, and he can't explain himself, and he was General Shi Bufan. Du Yan's impression of the Tang Dynasty ministers is already fixed, everyone looks down on Du Yan, if Du Jingtong refutes for his father, it will not only be useless, but will make everyone despise him even more.
However, at this time, Shi Bufan began to give Du Jingtong the final blow.
"Brother Du, it seems that you haven't been able to get the true inheritance of Ling Zun's ability! If Ling Zun was facing my words, he would definitely smile as if he hadn't heard it, and his face would not be red at all, let alone feel embarrassed because of it. Look at you, your face is red and purple, and your face seems to have grown up with anger, and even your eyes are fierce, as if you want to eat people. It seems that Ling Zun has the ability to make him strong, he is strong and he is crossed, the breeze is blowing, and the bright moon shines on the river, your brother Du has not yet obtained the true inheritance. It's better for you to learn from Ling Zun for a few more years, and see if you can continue Ling Zun's style again! Shi Bufan said.
"Hahahaha......"
The people around him laughed unscrupulously, this is simply funny. Shi Bufan's sentence "He is strong by him, he is strong by him, the breeze blows, and the bright moon shines on the river" sounds more elegant on the surface, but combined with the context, it is definitely scolding Du Yan for being thick-skinned!
Du Yan, this guy, knows very well that others are scolding him, but he doesn't care. Anyway, Du Yan is also a political opportunist, and he broke the jar. Every time I take refuge in a new lord, I feel no guilt, as if I don't care one by one.
was hostile to the other party before, but he turned his face and could be a minister in the same hall with the other party, and the thickness of this cheek was simply incomparable. Shi Bufan's words are actually satirizing Du Yan's gossip in the face of others, as if he pretended not to know, as if he didn't care. This is obviously deliberately satirizing his father, and the latter one who did not get the true biography is obviously also sarcastic Du Jingtong is not as thick-skinned as his father, and his face turned red and swollen after being said a few words.
Du Jingtong finally ran away in embarrassment, obviously being made like this for a long time, but he was made to be not a person inside and out, which was too embarrassing.
In the distance, Li Shimin, who was presiding over the winter hunt, asked: "Why did the laughter come from, what happened?" ”
"Your Majesty, just now Du Jingtong, the son of Du Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, went to provoke the Dingxiang County man, but he was covered by the Dingxiang County man and fled."
Li Shimin scolded in a low voice: "What a fool, he actually went to compare his tongue with Shi Bufan, didn't he know that Shi Bufan's sharp teeth and sharp mouth are almost incomparable in my Datang?" Even his father Du Yan suffered a big loss, and he dared to ask for trouble? Hmph, it's a fool to sacrifice ugliness yourself. Who dares to compete with Shi Bufan for the benefit of his tongue, this is not his own mouth! (To be continued.) )
