Shi Bufan returned home, and then asked Qin Jiarui: "How are Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun?" ”

"Lord Li Wanshun has already eaten, but Lord Li Wanrou has not eaten, it seems that he is still angry." Qin Jiarui said.

After hearing this, Shi Bufan knew that this Li Wanrou still didn't plan to dissipate her anger! Since Li Jiancheng was imprisoned, Li Wanrou hated Shi Bufan, because Shi Bufan was also one of the participants, so of course she couldn't forgive someone who attacked her father so easily. But now that she is under house arrest by Shi Bufan, she is actually going on a hunger strike here, and then she has to go on a hunger strike here to protest, obviously not planning to start eating so easily.

"Okay, let someone prepare some mutton and other ingredients, I'll make them for her myself!" Shi Bufan said.

Qin Jiarui was also envious, jealous and hateful, Shi Bufan actually cooked for Li Wanrou himself. Qin Jiarui happened to know that Shi Bufan could cook, and he was still very good, much better than the chef in her inn. However, it is obvious that Shi Bufan does not plan to focus on cooking for a long time, he still mainly focuses on work, and cooking is just some cultivating sentiments in daily life, and it will not really be a profession or something to do for a long time. So even if Qin Jiarui wants to eat the dishes made by Shi Bufan, it can't be so easy.

At that time, after Bufan finished cooking the dishes, he sent them to Li Wanrou's room.

"Wanrou, it's time to eat! I made this for you personally, you should know what it is. I made you something delicious last time, do you want to eat it now? Shi Bufan asked.

Li Wanrou looked at the fragrant dishes, and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. And she has been hungry for three days, and she has been relying on drinking water for the past three days, but obviously drinking water cannot meet the physiological needs of the body, and she will still be hungry when she is hungry, and she will not be full because of drinking water. Now I see these fragrant foods, and I feel very excited. Even if she told herself in her heart, don't eat, don't eat, but the hunger in her stomach and the saliva in her mouth are not controlled at all. After all, the physiological reaction of the human body is not controlled by her consciousness, so now Li Wanrou feels as if she is still very eager for this delicacy.

"Wanrou, if you want to eat, come and eat!" Shi Bufan said.

Li Wanrou saw these dishes, and involuntarily slowly crawled over, and then began to directly grab these dishes with her hands and began to eat them. And then even these mutton began to eat directly, eating hard, and didn't care about the demeanor of the county lord on weekdays. Soon, Li Wanrou also finished a few dishes.

However, after Li Wanrou recovered some of her physical strength next, she ignored Shi Bufan and did not give Shi Bufan a good face.

Shi Bufan saw this situation, and after seeing Li Wanrou finish eating these dishes, he knew that Li Wanrou's idea of committing suicide by hunger strike was a complete failure. Many times, although many people are on hunger strike, in the face of real food, it will arouse their hope for life. Food is actually the innate pursuit of human beings, whether it is dignitaries or ordinary people, human beings' pursuit of food is irresistible. Because food is always a "rigid need" for human survival, it is impossible to avoid it.

So anyone will pursue delicious food, although Li Wanrou chose to go on a hunger strike before, Shi Bufan used these delicacies to tempt, so that Li Wanrou completely dispelled the idea of hunger strike. Although Li Wanrou still looks dissatisfied with Shi Bufan, Shi Bufan knows very well that a person's physiology has been compromised, and it is not far from psychological compromise. The so-called everything is a bang, if Li Wanrou can go on a hunger strike until she starves to death, it will either be a compromise with Shi Bufan, or Li Wanrou will starve to death. But now Li Wanrou can't help but eat the dishes made by Shi Bufan, then she is tantamount to completely losing that "qi", so that she is already at a disadvantage when she faces Shi Bufan next.

"Wanrou, do you still hold a grudge against me? Hold a grudge against me for calculating to become a prince? Or do you still hate King Qin for building the crown prince? Shi Bufan asked.

Li Wanrou said angrily: "Li Shimin plotted against his father, and he framed him!" Moreover, you actually went to be Li Shimin's accomplice? ”

"Wanrou, in fact, Prince Jiancheng has today's result, and in a sense, it is also his own choice." Shi Bufan said.

Li Wanrou was even more angry, and said angrily: "Does my father deserve to be calculated like this? My father deserves to be imprisoned like this, and does he deserve to be locked up by his family? ”

Shi Bufan shook his head and said: "As an ordinary person, he may not be, but the fault is that he wants to compete for the throne of the Tang Dynasty, so he has nothing to say if he ends up with such a result today." Think about it, if it were an ordinary person, an ordinary person facing the loess with his back to the sky, farming peacefully and steadily all his life, would he be involved in this kind of struggle for succession? ”

"Also, if he didn't want to seize the throne, he just felt at ease as a prince who ate and waited for death, would he have the result he had today? So, what exactly are you saying this for? ”

"Shouldn't it? The father is the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty, shouldn't he inherit it? It's not Li Shimin, he has ambitions that shouldn't be there, and he actually wants to take the heir? Li Wanrou said righteously.

"Hahahaha, there are naturally people with strength, talent and means in the world who can sit in that position, and of course it takes a bit of luck. Your father was talented and lucky enough to be the first born son. But so what, in the end, his luck was not as good as King Qin, so he failed. But there is nothing that should not be done, I am not opposed to King Qin going to seize the heir, because a person with ability and ability, it is his right to fight for a stage to exert his ability. Maybe some people are willing to be dull all their lives, and this should respect his idea. However, there may be some capable and ambitious people who want to strive for a platform to give full play to their talents, and there is nothing wrong with doing so, but it is very reasonable. ”

"King Qin seizes the heir, I don't think there's anything wrong. If your father sits on the throne, although I don't know what he will choose, the fate of King Qin may not be much better than that of your father. Everyone has the right to compete for their own life, so you think that King Qin should not be ambitious, but I think it is reasonable. Why should you let a mediocre person who is far inferior to yourself be above you? Of course, I'm not saying that your father Li Jiancheng is mediocre, but isn't it reasonable to compete among talents? Whoever has better ability, whose means are more powerful, and of course, who may have better luck, so that who can get to the top is reasonable in my eyes. ”

Shi Bufan did not approve of the so-called primogeniture inheritance system, although Shi Bufan knew that in ancient times, the primogeniture system was actually a system to maintain the stability of the family and the country. However, in later generations, various so-called big families in later generations have been dissolved, and under the social system of later generations, the so-called big families have long been dissolved. In the Hereafter, it can only be called a "family", but it is almost impossible to call it a family. There may be some people who pretend to call themselves "families", but in fact these "families" are not comparable to the ancient families. Moreover, the so-called family in later generations is not like the close-knit one in ancient times, and may even claim to be a family, in fact, family members are scattered all over the country, and there are definitely many cases of old and dead not getting along.

In this case, the so-called primogeniture system is a complete joke. If you are developed, you are not obliged to give your wealth to the so-called "family", and you can directly pass it on to your direct descendants. Moreover, in later generations, although the process of appointing various officials may not be so perfect, the capable and the mediocre have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although there may be some problems in the operation process, it is by no means the kind of person who can be qualified to sit in an official position by relying on his natural bloodline.

Those who have the ability to compete, and competition is reasonable, but not competition is problematic. It is reasonable for capable people to compete, in Shi Bufan's heart. So although Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng fought with each other, Shi Bufan didn't think that Li Shimin was wrong. Maybe he is bloody and hateful, but that doesn't mean he's "wrong". Because to be a politician, to be a politician is nothing more than to use the dirtiest means to achieve the most just goals.

What kind of primogeniture inheritance system, this is not anything at all in Shi Bufan's eyes, who has the ability, who has the ability, who has the luck, can completely compete. As for the dark side of politics, this has been the case since ancient times. Shi Bufan would not be so "pure" to measure political struggles by the moral standards of other industries. Different industries have different ethical standards, so it is fundamentally different to use other industries to measure the moral standards of politics. Could it be that the inheritance system is bound for the sake of a primogeniture, but it is not supported by Shi Bufan. Therefore, no matter how bloody Li Shimin's methods are, he thinks that it is normal for him to be extraordinary in real times, and he will not criticize Li Shimin for being unkind and righteous. Even if Li Jiancheng ascends to the throne, Li Shimin's fate may not be much better.

"Wanrou, I hope you'll think about it. Since your father Li Jiancheng has the idea of wanting to compete for the throne of the Tang Dynasty, he must be prepared to fail. If your father wants to wear this crown, he must bear his weight. So you get the idea? This crown is not so easy to wear, because this crown not only represents power, not only represents wealth interests, but also represents the responsibility and risk behind him. This crown may be less than a pound, but the cloth and silk make a certain hat. But he is also the heaviest hat in the world, because he represents the power of the whole world, and represents the happiness and survival of all the people in the world. ”

"This hat is not so easy to put on, and if you want to wear it, you have to go through a series of tests. Ability, means, talent, the way of employing people, etc., and perhaps add ethereal luck, these conditions are indispensable. Since Prince Jiancheng has chosen this path, there must be a result of being tested and failing. The ending of Prince Jiancheng is already good, at least he didn't lose his life. Think about it, those heroes in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they also wanted to wear this crown, but what was their result? Wang Shichong, Xiao Mi, Li Mi, Liu Wuzhou, Du Fuwei, what is their ending? So as long as you want to wear this crown, you have to bear the 'weight' of this crown. As for whether he will be crushed to death by the weight of this crown, it depends on his luck and ability. ”

"Prince Jiancheng has taken this road, so he naturally has to be prepared to bear the consequences of failure. So King Qin is not to blame for this matter, nor is it to blame Prince Jiancheng, and he can't even blame anyone. If you want to blame, blame the world, because this world does not give people the means of normal means of competition, and they have to use this means to compete, and they have to use this bloody means to compete. ”

"So since Prince Jiancheng wants to wear this crown, he naturally has to bear the weight of this crown. If he just wants to wear a crown without bearing the weight, then in the end he will not be able to wear the crown, even if he barely wears the crown, he will not be able to wear it steadily! ”

"Wanrou, do you understand? King Qin and your father, in fact, there is no difference between who is right and who is wrong, since they have chosen this path, then they naturally have no choice. Not only King Qin, but also your father didn't have any choice. ”

"I'm telling you this today, just to tell you that King Qin and your father don't really have a personal vendetta. Don't think about going to King Qin for revenge in the future, because if you go to King Qin for revenge, not only will it not lead to results, but it will harm you. Especially since you and your sister, do you just care about her life? Politics is the dirtiest and bloodiest thing in the world, so you don't get involved casually. You are now free, and you don't want to avenge your father, because they don't have a personal vendetta. If there is a grudge, it is also because of this era, it is this era that does not give them a chance not to compete through violent and bloody means. They were not given a common rule of competition. Think about it, I hope you can let go of the past and live a good life, and in the future, you and your sister will live with me, and don't think about the past county lord status. Although I can't compare to the East Palace at that time, as long as I have a bite to eat, I won't treat you badly! ”

Shi Bufan left quickly, Li Wanrou looked at Shi Bufan's back, her eyes were full of complicated looks, obviously she didn't know how to face this person who participated in framing her father, but saved herself.
