Chapter Ninety-Eight: Blackened Lori

One day and one night passed like this, that Li Wanshun was tossed by Shi Bufan for a whole day, and Li Wanshun could only drink water for a day, and then was put under house arrest, and then did not eat. Hungry for a day and a night, maybe adults can't stand it. But for a person who is growing up, a person over six years old, it is just in the stage of physical development, and it needs a lot of nutrients. So not eating for a day and a night simply made this Li Wanshun very hungry. And Li Wanrou watched her sister being hungry, obviously very heartbroken.

Because her sister has suffered in her place, if she hadn't messed around herself, she would have told the Turks about the secret passage, and Shi Bufan would not have punished her sister. Li Wanrou felt very heartbroken, because in fact, her sister was punished because of her own reasons. If it was possible, Li Wanrou would rather be punished by herself, because it was he who did something wrong, so she would naturally punish him. But Shi Bufan didn't do this, but took a Li Wanshun who didn't make a mistake to vent his anger, which made Li Wanrou very painful.

And this is, Li Wanrou also felt that she really shouldn't do that kind of thing. Although he can seek revenge on Li Shimin, he should not involve so many innocent people. The people were innocent, and they should not have died for it. And so many innocent people, should they die so easily? They also have relatives and friends, and Li Wanrou also felt that she seemed to be a little too selfish, her sister didn't eat for a day and a night and cried with hunger, but if she really told the Turks about that secret passage, then the next primordial spirit would be miserable, and the consequences would be even worse. When the time comes, countless families will be ruined, and the pain will be very painful.

Therefore, Li Wanrou put away the idea of borrowing the Turks to help her take revenge. However, no one knows whether she really gave up the idea of seeking revenge on Li Shimin.

"Heavy snow, Jiarui, how are things going?" Shi Bufan asked.

Dugu Daxue hurriedly said: "I have already entered the palace and explained the relevant situation clearly, especially about the fact that there is a secret passage in the East Palace. However, according to your instructions, I did not tell the emperor about the county lord Li Wanrou. After the emperor found out, he had completely blocked the secret passage under the East Palace, so that even if the Turks discovered the secret passage outside the city, they would not be able to rush into the palace. And the reason I used is what you heard from the county lord Li Wanrou. ”

"It's okay, although this reason is not too perfect, but there are not too many loopholes, and it is not a big problem." Shi Bufan replied.

However, Qin Jiarui immediately said: "I paid people to dig up the tunnels outside, so as to avoid the Turks from taking advantage of them." This tunnel is completely blocked, and then it can be considered stable! ”

Shi Bufan knew with his knees that this secret passage should actually be the product of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan, Li Shimin's father and son who fell in love and killed each other, although Li Jiancheng was the prince, but his relationship with Li Yuan was quite complicated, so he had to keep a hand. If Li Yuan attacked him while he was in the palace, it would be too late for Li Jiancheng to run. That's why he dug a tunnel in the East Palace to the outside of the city, and if Li Yuan wanted to attack him at that time, he might be able to escape in time, and then go to the soldiers of the Twelve Guards for help.

But now that Li Jiancheng has been calculated, this tunnel has not played a role, and it was almost sold to the Turks by Li Wanrou. However, Li Wanrou is also for revenge, and in this era of the world, it cannot be said that she is wrong to do this, so that Shi Bufan will not be too harsh on this six or seven-year-old girl.

However, Shi Bufan still has to starve that Li Wanshun for a day, so that Li Wanrou knows the pain of losing her relatives. Only by letting Li Wanshun be starved, so that Li Wanrou knows that many times her relatives are in pain, and her heart is even more painful. Not for the sake of revenge, he has burdened the people and others. The reason why Shi Bufan punished this Li Wanshun was because he knew that if Li Wanrou was not allowed to truly experience the suffering of his relatives, he would not really cherish his relatives, and he would not push others to feel the pain of others, so that he would not take thousands of people as the object of revenge and sacrifice.

"Husband, is the time up? This Li Wanshun county lord should also be able to come out. Qin Jiarui said.

Shi Bufan thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, this time Li Wanshun was also implicated for no reason, which is considered unlucky." I'll make a table of good dishes for her later, which is a proper apology! ”

Of course, Shi Bufan knew that it was very immoral to toss a little girl like this. Especially implicated in the innocent, Li Wanrou made a mistake but punished her sister, which is actually an innocent act. In fact, this makes the jurisprudence that Shi Bufan believes in unreasonable, and the principles of governing the country according to law and legal fairness that he believes in are not allowed. As a later generation of legal scholars, he knew very well that his behavior was very illegal. In later generations, jurisprudence emphasized that there was a debtor who was wronged, and whoever made a mistake was punished, and his family should not be affected. Although it is true that in many cases, the family members of criminals are also discriminated against, but they are not criminally punished. It is already recognized in later generations that one person does things and one person behaves, and almost all countries will not implicate their families. No matter how big a person's mistake is, he will not implicate innocent family members.

This time Li Wanrou made a mistake, but Shi Bufan chose to toss Li Wanshun, which is contrary to the law that Shi Bufan studied. However, it is also helpless, because this Li Wanrou is actually not an ordinary person in nature. Li Wanrou is essentially the county lord of the Li Tang Dynasty, although her father has been demoted to a concubine, but her blood has to implicate him. If we simply use the jurisprudence of later generations to solve these problems, we will certainly not be able to solve these problems. So Shi Bufan had to use unconventional means to force her to give up that abnormal revenge thinking. Although this is contrary to the spirit of jurisprudence that the times and others believe, it has to be done. Because he is no longer the university lecturer of later generations, he is now a politician, a politician who wants to seek the interests of his country, his nation and his class. He was far from thinking about the law, and even in order to safeguard the interests of the broader masses, it was necessary to go against the spirit of jurisprudence.

"I think that the law is something that protects the interests of the vast majority of people, and I think that in order to protect the safety of more people, I don't think the goddess Themis should blame me, right?" Shi Bufan couldn't help but complain.

However, Dugu Daxue obviously didn't know who this goddess of Themis was, and when she heard it, she knew that it was a foreign god. However, although Shi Bufan is Chinese, as a person who believes in the rule of law, he believes in the Western goddess Themis more, because the judicial concept of this goddess is more suitable for the concept of the rule of law in later generations. On the contrary, China's judicial beast is the concept of human rule of Hongguo, so as a scholar who believes in the rule of law, Shi Bufan believes in the Western goddess Themis in terms of jurisprudence, not the Chinese mythical beast. This is not a religious belief, but a political and judicial direction of belief, and it is not directly related to culture.

At the dining table, Li Wanshun, who had been hungry for a day and a night, began to eat heavily, as if she was obviously very hungry. He tasted the dishes made by Shi Bufan himself, and it was very delicious. The cooking methods of the later generations were not at all in ancient times, and Shi Bufan was not keen on cooking by himself, so it was difficult to eat. But now Li Wanshun has been hungry for a day, plus it is a dish made by Shi Bufan herself, of course she is very keen to eat, obviously hungry for a day plus it is really delicious, of course, she eats everything.

"Sister, why don't you eat? The food he cooks is delicious. Li Wanshun asked.

But Li Wanrou asked rhetorically: "Sister, this time he locked you up and starved for a day, don't you resent him?" ”

"Resentment? In fact, if it weren't for him, we would have died a long time ago. Even, in fact, if it weren't for him, his father and several brothers would have died. It's very good that he can do that. Li Wanshun also said directly.

But Li Wanrou's face was a little complicated, because Shi Bufan also participated in the Xuanwumen Revolution at that time, and it can be said that she was one of the culprits who killed her father. Therefore, Li Wanrou is also very complaining about Shi Bufan. However, Li Wanrou may not know that his father and brothers were killed in the original history, and he may not resent Shi Bufan, but will be very grateful to Shi Bufan. It's a pity that while Shi Bufan changed history, Li Wanrou didn't know it, so she couldn't be too grateful to Shi Bufan. Gratitude for this thing is "contrast", maybe when you know that your result will be more miserable, a person makes you less miserable, you will be grateful to him. But she didn't know that he would have been worse, so he would blame you for making him miserable. But you can't explain it at all, and it's very speechless.

But Li Wanrou is not as simple as her sister, although it seems that Li Wanrou is also relatively simple on weekdays, but now the difference between her and her sister is quickly reflected. Li Wanrou's biological mother is Zheng Guanyin, Zheng Guanyin is the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and she has been a woman from a big family since she was a child. Women from large families are very intelligent, and they are also obliged to marry from an early age, and then prepare to marry those families who want to marry. Even they have their own political missions, so the big family is very strict with their daughters, and they often explain a lot of political game knowledge to them. Even teach their daughters from housekeeping, competition for favor, etc., and even some extreme ones will teach those daughters the so-called bed. Kung Fu, the means of serving men. Therefore, the daughters of these big families shoulder the family mission, and naturally understand a lot more than ordinary women, and even political scheming.

Therefore, when Zheng Guanyin teaches her own daughter, she will inevitably tell her a lot of "ways of being a person", especially the way of being a big family. Of course, maybe Li Wanrou didn't necessarily understand what these things were at that time, maybe she didn't really take it to heart, because she was the daughter of the prince and the lord of the Tang Dynasty, who would dare to show her face? But after this series of changes, although I didn't go to my heart back then, I am now stimulated. Although human memory may not be recalled for a while, it will be recalled suddenly under the necessary stimulus. Li Wanrou obviously thought of what her mother taught her, those schemings and ways of life.

However, that Li Wanshun is Li Jiancheng's concubine, not Zheng Guanyin's biological daughter. Therefore, Zheng Guanyin did not specifically teach Li Wanshun, so the difference was reflected at this time. Li Wanrou was taught by Zheng Guanyin's strategy, so after experiencing this big change, Li Wanrou became less "simple". But Li Wanshun is still very simple, Li Wanshun's mother is just an ordinary palace maid, her status is not high, and she has no responsibility to fight for the interests of the family, so naturally there is no need to teach her daughter these things, not to mention that her mother may not know. So on the contrary, Li Wanshun is more gentle and plain, and she is more satisfied with her current life, so she naturally will not feel too dissatisfied with Shi Bufan.

"Sister, do you really think it's good for us to do this? We've been here, isn't it a good fit? In what capacity do we live here? To the county lord? But we're no longer county lords, so what can we have? In what capacity do we live here, not the county lord, there is no need for him to help us so much. Moreover, we are neither masters, nor guests, nor servants, so in what capacity are we here? The so-called unjustifiable name, are we just living here, and in what capacity are we here? Li Wanrou said.

Li Wanshun asked simply: "Didn't Shi Xiaoshulang recognize us as sisters?" We live here as the younger sister of the school scrivener, and the elder brother takes care of the younger sister, what's not to do? ”

Li Wanrou covered her face, and then said, "Sister, you are really simple!" I once heard him say something inadvertently, he said that there is no such thing as a free lunch. If I understand it well, he means that what you want to get, what you have to give. But what did we pay to make him willing to take care of us? ”

"He is taking care of us now, but it is because he feels guilty about joining in the trap on our father, so he will take care of us. But how long can this guilt last? He may feel guilty now, but what about later? What will happen in the future? How long will he be able to maintain this guilt in the future? Maybe a year, two years? But can it last for ten or twenty years? When the time comes, he really can't stand us anymore, will he drive me away? ”

Li Wanshun was also a little unconfident, and said, "He's not this kind of person, right?" ”

Obviously, although Li Wanshun said this, he also felt a little suspicious of Shi Bu's character.

Li Wanrou suddenly said: "It's also what he said, I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than believe in the broken mouth of politicians!" ”

"......" Li Wanshun suddenly became speechless, she didn't know what was wrong with her sister, how could she become so complicated?

Li Wanshun's heart is still very simple, after all, she has not received the teachings of all kinds of scheming and "the way of being a person" before, so naturally she will not be so easy to blacken. This is the difference between family education, Li Jiancheng was busy dealing with national affairs, so he naturally handed over his family's education to his wife and concubine. But after all, Li Jiancheng is also the prince, and he naturally has many wives and concubines. In fact, it is the wives and concubines who are responsible for teaching their children, and those wives and concubines often only concentrate on teaching their own children, and rarely seriously teach the children born to their husbands' other wives and concubines. A woman who can regard the children born to other women as her own, I am afraid that there are not many in history at all, or even only in legends, which are phenomenal figures, and are by no means universal.

Therefore, this Li Wanrou is more able to understand unhealthy things, but it is easier to change in this regard.

Therefore, we must plan for ourselves. He is right, there is no such thing as a free lunch, so we have to plan for ourselves. If we stay here like this, then I'm afraid we'll be unjustifiable, and that's the trouble. So, we have to give something so that he doesn't abandon us in the future! Li Wanrou said.

Li Wanshun said simply: "What can we give him?" We don't have anything left for him? ”

However, Li Wanrou showed a resolute gaze.
