Chapter 339: The unwilling Li Wanrou
"The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info forgot Chang'an, hesitated, sad Qin and Han Dynasty meridians, and the palace was made of soil. Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer. ”
Shi Bufan recited in front of Li Wanrou in addition to Zhang Yanghao's "Mountain Slope Yangtong Caring for the Ancients", which was the poem he read out when he persuaded Xue Wanche before, but he deliberately changed the "Western Capital" to "Chang'an". Now that the word Shi Bufan was pronounced in front of Li Wanrou again, Li Wanrou seemed to feel something, and there was something strange in her eyes.
However, Shi Bufan, who had already been speculating, noticed it, and Shi Bufan then asked: "Li Wanrou, have you heard of this long and short sentence?" ”
Li Wanrou flashed a shrewd gaze, and quickly admitted: "I've heard, this is created by you, husband, how could I not know." ”
"Hahahaha, Li Wanrou, you are still too tender after all, you really made a mistake." Shi Bufan said with a smile.
Shi Bufan brought up this Li Wanrou, who was only about eight years old, Li Wanrou wanted to struggle, but she couldn't struggle at all to pass Shi Bufan, an adult. Li Wanrou simply stopped struggling, obviously resigned herself to her fate.
"What do you want to do? Hmph, since my sister and I are already your concubines, you can do whatever you want. Since my father didn't know where he was taken, I was only able to be with you. In the whole Chang'an, only you are willing to take me in, even if you let me be the concubine, our status has been decided, but we can officially round the house when we are thirteen or fourteen years old. The fate of my sister and I is in your hands, and the power of life and death is in your hands, so why do you tease me like this? Li Wanrou said disdainfully.
"Li Wanrou, it seems that these days, she has grown quite fast! However, after experiencing disasters, it is often true to grow, which seems good! I was surprised that you matured so quickly. However, you are still a child, and you have fallen for my tricks. You just deliberately and subconsciously admitted that you had heard this long and short sentence, but it was clever but was mistaken by cleverness. Shi Bufan said while carrying Li Wanrou.
Li Wanrou's eyes were full of curiosity, and she asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”
"Why, you must have been thinking just now, I deliberately read this long and short sentence in front of you, it was because I had already determined that you already knew, so I deliberately tried it. If it is according to the practice of ordinary people, it must be hasty denial. But you know that there is a bit of a possibility that you will try to cover it up. So it's better to be single-minded and admit it directly, which can avoid more suspicion. ”
"However, when you do this, you are being clever and being mistaken by being smart. Because I have never read this long and short sentence at home, and the people who really know this long and short sentence are none other than those few people. After some analysis, the only person who can tell you this long and short sentence is only one person, because only that person's network directly intersects with you, and has a good relationship with your father! Shi Bufan lifted Li Wanrou up, and then said directly to her little face.
Sure enough, Li Wanrou's face suddenly changed, she was really smart but was mistaken by being smart. In fact, according to the previous situation, it is impossible for Li Wanrou to know this long and short sentence under normal circumstances, unless someone tells him. But there are only a few people who know this long and short sentence, and there is only one person who can have a direct relationship with Li Wanrou and belong to the friendly side.
"Say, what did you say when you met with General Xue Wanche?" Shi Bufan asked.
Li Wanrou was really unhappy, and snorted: "Why should I tell you? ”
"Wanrou, don't think that I feel so guilty about Prince Jiancheng, you can use this as a blackmail to make me obey your wishes. Let me tell you, Li Wanrou, you are no longer the county lord of the Tang Dynasty now, you are just my concubine, understand? Although it's still a little tender, I won't just let you do anything. However, our status has already been decided, not to mention this Chang'an, this Datang, I'm afraid only I am willing to take you sisters in. If you leave our house, you may soon be targeted by all sorts of people. As for what to do with those who are targeted, I can't guarantee this. Wanrou, although I feel a little guilty about Li Jiancheng, I will not completely compensate for this. ”
"Because in fact, I know that I am not to blame for this incident in Xuanwumen back then, nor to blame the emperor, and I can't even blame anyone. To blame is to blame this era, because this era did not give them a reasonable and normal competition, so that they had to use such bloody means to compete. So although I feel a little guilty, this guilt is only for me, but not morally. I'm only guilty of having a person with whom I have no grievances imprisoned, but I'm not guilty of it. You have to figure out the relationship for me, don't tell me how guilty I will be about Li Jiancheng, and you can use this to blackmail me. ”
"So, Wanrou, since you are already my concubine, you should listen to me. Don't think about it so much, tell me honestly what you and General Xue Wanche have talked about, so it's good for you and me. ”
Li Wanrou turned her head over, obviously not planning to answer Shi Bufan's words directly, anyway, she was a single person. However, Shi Bufan knew where Li Wanrou's biggest weakness was, so Shi Bufan was prepared.
"Go and lock up Li Wanshun, and don't let her eat for three days!" Shi Bufan said.
"Bastard, you come at me, don't hurt my sister!" Li Wanrou said angrily.
Shi Bufan knew that what Li Wanrou cared about most was his sister, although she was not a fellow mother, but Li Wanrou's father Li Jiancheng and several brothers were imprisoned, and even her mother did not dare to meet him, so the only closest person was her own sister. This sister Li Wanshun is her most important support, and she is the emotional support of each other, so Li Wanrou's biggest weakness is also his sister.
Maybe ordinary people don't care about themselves, but they often care about their families. Some people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of their families being harmed. Starting with his relatives is a good way to go. So when he heard that Shi Bufan wanted to toss Li Wanshun, Li Wanrou suddenly became anxious.
"Tell me, what did you talk about when you met with General Xue Wanche?" Shi Bufan asked.
"You're kind of coming at me, don't hurt my sister. What kind of hero are you doing this? Li Wanrou said angrily. 、
Shi Bufan replied instead: "I never said what kind of hero I am, I am a politician, a politician who will not compromise the means to achieve the goal, do you understand?" Tell me, what the hell did you talk about with General Xue Wanche. As long as you tell me, then I won't toss you and don't toss your sister. ”
"I'm afraid, you still have any unrealistic ideas, and this will be troublesome."
Li Wanrou bit her lip, and finally said, "I'll tell you, don't toss my sister!" ”
"Okay, let's talk!" Shi Bufan put Li Wanrou on the chair, and then prepared to listen to what this Li Wanrou said to Xue Wanche.
Shi Bufan was very afraid that if this Li Wanrou had any collusion with Xue Wanche, it would be trouble. Because Xue Wanche currently has soldiers in his hands, this Xue Wanche is about to be arranged to conquer Liang Shidu, and he will have military power in his hands at that time, so if Li Wanrou and Xue Wanche have any excessive collusion, then I am afraid that this will really make it difficult for Shi Bufan to feel at ease!
"General Xue Wanche has been saying good things about you, saying that if it weren't for you, I'm afraid my brothers would all die. So he asked me, let me follow you well. Li Wanrou said first.
"What else?" Shi Bufan asked.
Li Wanrou said again: "I want to let General Xue Wanche go to my father and a few brothers, I want them to come out." ”
Shi Bufan's face changed abruptly, and then Li Wanrou hurriedly said: "I just want a family reunion, is this too much?" I don't want any throne, and I never thought of pulling Li Shimin down, I didn't think about it, I really didn't think about it. I just want my father and brother to come out and have a good family reunion. I hope that our family can be reunited so that we can at least see my father and brother again. I don't know where they are, I don't know how much they're going to suffer. I don't even know if they're still alive. Even if it's dead, at least I need to know a definite message. I'm like this, no one or no ghost, I'm alone in this world, how can I live a stable life? Even if they die, then I can at least feel at ease! Otherwise, I'm so scared every day, do you know what this kind of day is like? ”
"I want a family reunion, is that too much?"
Li Wanrou even cried in the end, obviously very sad and angry. Shi Bufan also sighed silently, in fact, Li Wanrou's request is not too much, it is really not too much at all! Hoping for a family reunion, this is not too much, but it is very normal. Shi Bufan has also seen many programs in later generations, many programs to find relatives, once the family is lost, it may be a lifetime of no one or a ghost. This kind of pain of separation is really hard to bear.
Li Jiancheng and Li Jiancheng's sons may be in Chang'an, or maybe they are a secret corner of Chang'an. In fact, the distance between him and Li Wanrou is not far, but this short distance is simply a stone's throw away. Because it is almost impossible to let Li Shimin release Li Jiancheng, it is simply impossible.
Being able to allow Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun to be outside is already "extraordinarily gracious", so that Li Shimin will not let Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun go to meet Li Jiancheng. Maybe ordinary criminals still have prison visits, but Li Jiancheng has no hope of visiting prisons at all. If Li Jiancheng has no accidents in his life, he will most likely have to live in a place where he doesn't know what corner, or even doesn't know the living conditions, for the rest of his life.
Although they may have no worries about food and clothing, they must live a high-ranking prisoner with no dignity and no freedom. As for whether Li Jiancheng can come out, then it may not be "graceful" until the day when Li Shimin's son inherits the throne. In fact, after the death of his father, the new emperor will often pardon his opponents of the "uncles".
This set of almost common routines, didn't Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty also pardon those opponents of Yongzheng back then? And after the death of the "second generation" surnamed Jiang in Taiwan, didn't the new one surnamed Li also restore his freedom to the surname Zhang in the Xi'an Incident that year? In fact, after decades of this kind of thing, these bad things are no longer important, so it is better to be a favor, reflect generosity, and buy people's hearts. Therefore, Li Jiancheng wants to come out, not because of anything else, but because of Li Shimin's lifespan. If Li Shimin lives longer, he may even "survive" Li Jiancheng in it. If Li Shimin's lifespan is a little shorter, then maybe after the new emperor inherits, Li Jiancheng will be released for some other reasons to show generosity.
"Li Wanrou, don't think too much about these things, I won't do anything to you here. You live your life here and don't think about these things, okay? Shi Bufan said.
"I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling, I'm not willing to never see my father and brother in this life!" Li Wanrou said firmly again.
Shi Bufan finally replied: "If you are unwilling, then I can't help it." Anyway, I won't help you, because maybe I sympathize with you personally, but I won't help you because of it. Because if Li Jiancheng comes out, it will cause a big turmoil. What Datang needs now is stability, stability, not to make a lot of turmoil again, or even the risk of civil war, understand? So if you are not reconciled, I can't help it. In the future, you will let me stay at home and not have to think about so many things, understand? ”
After Shi Bufan finished speaking, he immediately chose to leave, no matter whether Li Wanrou really accepted it or not, it was impossible for him to help Li Wanrou. As for Li Jiancheng, what does this have to do with Shi Bufan? Shi Bufan didn't owe Li Jiancheng anything, didn't he just accept his two daughters? But it doesn't mean that Li Jiancheng is his "father-in-law". Shi Bufan will not do stupid things for Li Jiancheng, whether it is public or private, it is more beneficial for Datang to stay in it. At present, Datang is in a period of peaceful development and rapid development, and letting Li Jiancheng come out will only destroy the current situation and make things a mess.
Therefore, Shi Bufan will not help Li Jiancheng, and it will be what he loves us. As for Li Wanrou, Shi Bufan regarded it as accepting a young concubine, and he wouldn't suffer as a man anyway.
