Chapter 20 The unwilling Li Ji
Li Xian can be regarded as a complete victory today, not only subduing the arrogant Li Jingye, but also showing grace to Li Ji openly and secretly, forcing Li Ji, who has always been accustomed to taking a neutral line, to tie the interests of his whole family to himself.
Of course, Li Xian didn't dare to press Li Ji too hard, because it was taboo for the court to form a party between the prince and the important ministers, and if he was worried about Gaozong and Empress Wu, it would be a lot of fun, so Li Xian didn't make the next move after Li Ji bowed his head and admitted defeat, but just borrowed the military book on a matter-by-case basis, and then left.
As for Li Ji's unpleasant face, Li Xian just thought he didn't see it, in fact, it was understandable to think about it, he calculated others, he couldn't even care about what kind of faces people were wearing, right?
Although Li Xian was very proud, Li Ji's face was full of sadness, after Li Xian left, he and Li Chunfeng sat silently in the living room, the atmosphere was very depressing, and in the end, Li Ji finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother Chunfeng Dao, you and I have been friends for decades, the younger brother is pretentious and talented, and he has never asked for anything. ”
But Li Chunfeng sighed softly: "The public doubt, the poor Dao knows in his heart, it is just a mystery, even the poor Dao is not very clear, alas, the heavens are chaotic, everything is unknown, no matter how you use it, it is difficult to know in your chest." ”
"What do you mean by this, Brother Dao?" Li Ji naturally knew that with Li Chunfeng's technique, speculation and divination were all inaccurate, and there seemed to be nothing difficult to get him in this world, and he even heard that this person had made a bold prediction about the history of more than a thousand years later, such a fairy-like task, and today he actually said such a thing, how could he not be shocked in his heart?
But Li Chunfeng shook his head with a wry smile when he heard it, and said slowly: "I know that the intention of the duke's invitation today is nothing more than secretly peeping at that person's appearance and measuring his fate, but I didn't expect that Ling Sun would cause such a disaster. ”
"Brother Dao, can you tell me in detail?" Li Ji listened to Li Chunfeng's words, and the doubts in his heart were not only not solved, but he was even more confused, and at this time, he couldn't care about etiquette, moved the cushion forward by half a foot, and almost sat in front of Li Chunfeng, and said with an urgent face.
"Hehe, when the public heard about Taizong, why did Li Junxian, the general of Zuo Wuwei, die?" Li Chunfeng didn't seem to hear Li Ji's question, but asked Li Ji in turn.
Li Ji was slightly shocked when he heard this.
Li Junxian naturally knows that this person is a famous brave general in the early Tang Dynasty, who once made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, and was later named General Zuo Wuwei and Wulian County Duke, because he was born in Wu'an County, he was called "Five Niangzi" by the people of the time, because of the rumors in the market at that time, "after Tang III, the heroine Wuwang has the world" caused Taizong's suspicion, and was finally killed.
Li Chunfeng suddenly said this kind of thing at this time, the meaning of which is worth playing, Rao is Li Ji has always been calm, and he couldn't help but ask at this time: "This matter is true?" ”
I saw Li Chunfeng nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, Emperor Taizong's jealousy in his heart that day was not for nothing, after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, there is indeed a female protagonist who has the world's affairs, this woman is surnamed Wu, the family teacher once looked at this person, and found that this person has a dragon pupil and phoenix neck, and he will be extremely noble in the future, but this appearance is only suitable for women, so if this person is a woman, he should be the lord of the world." Although this person's parents were noble, they did not dare to tell the matter, and all the servants and maids who knew the secret died mysteriously. And the tutor didn't know until later that the person she was looking at that day was a woman, but her parents dressed her as a man. The family teacher knew that this woman was the lord of the world, and her luck was very strong, and she could not be offended, so she kept this matter a secret until she was dying. ”
"Who is that man? Isn't it ......" Li Ji heard what Li Chunfeng said, and a person suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but say in a lost voice.
But Li Chunfeng didn't seem to hear his words, and muttered: "Poor Dao is a little different from what the master thinks, after all, this world is the world surnamed Li, and Poor Dao is deeply favored by the emperor, how can I see my Tang Dynasty suffer this disaster?" So he passed down the words of 'after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine Wuwang has the world', hoping that Emperor Taizong could plan for it as soon as possible, although Poor Dao knew that this matter was tantamount to being a mantis arm as a car, and he had to be heard. It's just that the world is unpredictable, Taizong actually killed Li Junxian by mistake because of this rumor, and then thought that he had broken the rumor, and he didn't care about it from then on, but he didn't know that this move actually let the real conspirator get away with it, and now this person is deeply favored by today, and it is impossible to stop it, at least Poor Dao thought so before, but today he is confused again. ”
"Why is that?" Because it was in a private occasion, Li Ji didn't care that Li Chunfeng didn't shy away from it, and after listening to the other party's strange words, he couldn't care about asking the usurper anymore, because he could already hear that the identity of the other party was already certain as he guessed, and there was no point in asking again, so he took Li Chunfeng's words and prepared to ask why.
But seeing that Li Chunfeng still didn't answer his words, he just muttered: "It is precisely because of Jiangshan Sheji's thoughts that Poor Dao contacted Changsun Taiwei, Chu Xiang, Lai Xiang, Han Xiang and others at the beginning, trying to prevent this person from ascending to the throne, but he didn't expect that he had to be helped by the public at the critical moment, alas, all this is also the will of heaven in the underworld, how can human power stop it?" However, the public has become an accomplice of this person, and after this person gained power, he wantonly slaughtered the clan magnates, causing the world to be unjustly imprisoned and demons rampant. Hehe, thirty years later, the Ru family was defeated, and it was this retribution. ”
"My family is ruined? Could it be that it is due to the rebellious son of dedication? Li Ji saw that Li Chunfeng's prediction was as he expected, his heart was extremely shocked, and he hurriedly took Li Chunfeng's hand and said: "Brother Dao, please save me, since Brother Dao confided this shocking secret to his junior brother today, there must be a way to save him." ”
"Hehe, the way of heaven is like this, how can manpower do it? It's not that the poor road can't be saved, there is really no other way, but the poor road saw a person today, and this person is also extremely expensive, like Emperor Taizongwen, or the lord of Zhongxing is unknown. Li Chunfeng sighed slowly, his eyes were full of expectation, but there seemed to be a trace of doubt.
"Isn't this person from my house today?" Li Ji opened the doors and windows, looked at the front and back, left and right, and then came to Li Chunfeng again and asked cautiously.
"Li Sikong's previous mistake almost ruined my Datang foundation, and now Poor Dao does not hesitate to leak the heavenly opportunity and risk the disaster of killing himself, confiding in Li Sikong about this matter, I only hope that Lord Sikong can make up for it, turn the tide and save me from a disaster in Datang, I don't know what Lord Sikong wants? If Lord Sikong doesn't want to get involved in this matter, he can stay out of the matter, or even go out of the poor road, then the lord of Zhongxing is out, although you are proud for a while, the disaster of destruction is not far away. ”
Li Chunfeng did not answer Li Ji's question directly, in fact, his non-answer is sometimes an answer, Li Ji has been very close to him, and he has always known that this person's methods are unfathomable, how can he be willing to report him? What's more, he was also worried about the future destruction of his entire family, but after a little hesitation, he already had an idea in his heart.
"Although Brother Li Dao said that the younger brother does not doubt it, but with the current identity of the younger brother, it is not appropriate to participate in it rashly, why not still remain neutral in name as before, but it is convenient to take care of it secretly. What does Brother Li Dao think of his younger brother's words? ”
Li Ji originally thought that Li Chunfeng would agree with his behavior, but when he looked back, he found that Li Chunfeng's figure had long disappeared, and a thin voice still sounded in his ears: "Can not only protect himself, but also take care of the country, Li Sikong is worthy of being a rare wise man in contemporary times, and he ......is poor and admired."
Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Li Ji couldn't help but blush, because the other party obviously hinted that he was hiding selfishness in his words, but fortunately, the other party did not object, so he found a comforting word for himself that "stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood", and then carefully planned a way to help Li and suppress martial arts.
"Not only to turn freely in the court, but also to help Li Qi quietly, alas, this matter is easy to say, but how easy is it to really do?" Li Ji couldn't help but look sad.
"Alas, it seems that I can only look at one step at a time, but I am seventy years old this year, I don't know if I can see the day when I Datang Zhongxing, if there is really one day when I am gone, and the chaos has just begun, with the impatient nature of dedication, it will definitely bring me the disaster of destruction, I need such a clever arrangement, in order to achieve the goal of avoiding disaster and recovering my Datang."
Li Ji came up with a way to deal with it, and the whole person became much easier, in fact, he was quite satisfied with Li Xian's performance these days, although this son is young, his intelligence and wisdom are obviously not low, even if he is a wise man like himself, he has repeatedly suffered losses when he is caught off guard, and he can do this at a young age, but it is also quite similar to those masters of Zhongxing recorded in the history books.
But this does not mean that he is relieved by the seven-year-old boy's repeated calculations, this little guy is only seven years old and so treacherous, he is very much like Cao Cao in history, he is really unwilling to work for such a traitorous male.
Of course, what kind of person is Li Ji? Whether it is age or qualifications, he is the master who is the best minister, and even the emperor and the queen are very respected, with such a bearing identity, he will not worry about a little guy like Li Xian, so he has to endure the discomfort in his heart, and suffer this loss, while secretly looking forward to Li Xian's performance half a year later.
