Chapter 4 Men take responsibility

Traveling thousands of miles is not a mountain tour, not a self-driving tour, not to mention romantic poetry and distant places.

In this era when transportation roads are inconvenient and wild animals are running around, wandering thousands of miles is considered a relatively heavy punishment, and many prisoners cannot reach their destination at all, and are eaten by wild beasts halfway, or fall off a cliff and die.

Even if Jixing Gaozhao went to the place of exile, he was only a commoner, and he was forced to participate in local labor, not only would he be bullied by the locals, but even the most basic food and medical care could not be guaranteed.

Having read some books in his previous life, Li Qinzai roughly knew what it meant to be exiled to Lingnan.

Strictly speaking, wandering thousands of miles is considered a "semi-death sentence", and when a person leaves Chang'an, whether he is dead or alive depends on whether he is hard or not.

For the upcoming result, Li Qinzai of course rejected it in his heart.

Grinding and coming to the front hall, his father Li Siwen was already sitting in the hall and waiting for him.

Seeing Li Qinzai walk in, Li Siwen's eyes widened, and a nameless fire suddenly appeared in his heart.

This son, no matter when and where he sees him, Li Siwen's emotions are always very rich and layered, from disappointment, to disgust, to anger, to indifference.

There are no positive emotions, and when I see him, my heart is full of negative energy.

Countless nights in the dead of night, Li Siwen looked up at the sky and the moon and sighed, giving birth to such a thing was the biggest mistake in his life, Li Qinzai was born in the past 20 years, Li Siwen's quality of life has dropped a lot, and his blood pressure has risen a lot.

On that night when the flowers bloomed and the cicadas chirped, if he had decisively withdrawn and shot a bag of children and grandchildren on the wall, how wonderful and happy Li Siwen's life would have been now.

Thinking of this, Li Siwen's gaze at Li Qinzai became more and more unkind, and even Li Qinzai's walking posture felt extremely dazzling.

Li Qinzai was unaware of his father's rich emotional fluctuations at the moment, he just walked to the bottom of the stairs very calmly, except for entering the hall, and awkwardly bowed to Li Siwen.

"Meet my father." Li Qinzai said in a low voice.

Li Siwen glanced at him indifferently, and then, he didn't move.

Li Qinzai hung his head, the front hall fell into a brief silence, the air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere between father and son was never cold.

After a long time, Li Siwen finally broke the silence.

"The Imperial Historical Observatory has even played twenty-three ways to impeach the Li family, all of which have used the matter of Pegasus Jade Carving to impeach your grandfather, saying that his authority is too heavy, his children are arrogant, and the court is already boiling, Your Majesty and the queen can't suppress it, rebel, you did a good thing!"

Li Qinzai sighed silently, I really just took the blame......

"Yes, the child knows his mistake."

Li Siwen was stunned for a moment, and was very surprised by Li Qinzai's honest attitude of admitting his mistakes.

In the past, Li Qinzai would not be so honest, no matter what mistakes he made, he was straightforward and uplifting, and he could always find excuses for his mistakes.

After settling down, Li Siwen said again: "Early this morning, Your Majesty announced that your grandfather entered the palace and gave a banquet, Your Majesty and your grandfather talked very happily, recalling that your grandfather assisted Emperor Taizong and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, the Son of Heaven was full of emotion, tears did not stop, and even saluted your grandfather three wines......

Li Qinzai didn't understand why Li Siwen suddenly mentioned this, he was just an unofficial and unpositioned, and he didn't care about the affairs of the court at all.

However, as a junior, Lee Qinjae understands that he must also play the role of a cheer.

"And then?" Li Qinzai asked.

"What, then?"

"Your Majesty respects your grandfather three wines, and then what?"

Li Siwen glanced at him coldly and said, "No, after the banquet with the Son of Heaven, your grandfather will leave the palace." ”

Li Qinzai was stunned for a long time, and the matter was clueless, so the monarch and the minister drank a meal of wine and chatted some gossip, and then it was gone?

What is the difference between this and drinking cold beer at a barbecue stall after a thousand years, and blowing about the awesome of the year by the way?

Li Qinzai asked cautiously, "What about the Pegasus Jade Carving...... Has the Son of Heaven mentioned it? ”

The anger in Li Siwen's heart bubbled up.

"Evil beast, you still have the audacity to mention this!" Li Siwen shouted angrily, and then looked left and right, obviously looking for a weapon to take advantage of.

Li Qinzai's face changed, he took a few steps back, and said, "Father, I'll run away if you hit me, and I won't be able to talk about business." ”

Li Siwen's movements froze, thinking of the purpose of calling this evil beast, and immediately endured three points of anger.

With a heavy snort, Li Siwen sat down again, and said coldly: "The matter of Pegasus Jade Carving, the Son of Heaven did not mention a word, and the banquet with your grandfather only recalled the demeanor of the first emperor Taizong, and only said your grandfather's merits, and the banquet ended." ”

Li Qinzai's brows furrowed: "Didn't mention a word? ”

Li Siwen snorted: "Not a word is mentioned, this is definitely not a good thing, I'm afraid the Son of Heaven can't bear the courtiers' discussions......"

Looking at Li Qinzai with complicated eyes, Li Siwen said: "You must be prepared, this time you can't escape, it may be a foregone conclusion to wander thousands of miles, the banquet of the Son of Heaven is about to reveal this intention to your grandfather, and Dali Temple may ask you in the near future." ”

Li Siwen's eyes were full of disappointment, and he didn't beat or scold Li Qinzai, but sighed Xiao Ran.

"Since childhood, your grandfather and old husband have spoiled you too much, and you are willful and messing around, and you, you have made more and more fox friends and dog friends, and you are becoming more and more domineering outside, and finally broke into a catastrophe, and the trouble is out of control, today's disaster is your retribution, and it is also the retribution of my Li family......"

"Qin Zai, don't blame the old man for being ruthless, the old man can't do anything about you, but there are many members of the Li family, and you can't be implicated because of you......"

Li Siwen turned his head, not daring to look directly at Li Qinzai's gaze, and sighed gloomily: "You...... Prepare, maybe you will have a will in a few days, take care of yourself after you leave home, three or five years, three or five years later......"

Li Siwen couldn't go on, but Li Qinzai's expression was always calm.

The middle-aged man in front of him was his father, who said to his face that he would give up on himself.

But Li Qinzai's heart did not fluctuate.

The blood relationship cannot be denied, and it should be very heartbroken and angry to be abandoned by relatives, but Li Qinzai has no emotion, as if he is just listening to a stranger tell a story that has nothing to do with him.

In his heart, the father in front of him was just a stranger.

It is natural for a stranger to give up on himself, what emotions can he have?

The disaster is caused by oneself, and the responsibility is of course borne by oneself.

Or else? Holding Li Siwen's thighs and begging for help?

In his previous life, Li Qinzai graduated from university and worked, and he had been in the society for more than ten years, bending his waist to his boss and laughing at his customers.

couldn't pay the rent and was thrown out of his luggage by the landlord, squatting alone in the dark aisle, nibbling on cold steamed buns while calling his girlfriend heartlessly to tell meat jokes.

If a person can only have one word engraved on his tombstone after death, then Li Qinzai's tombstone must be engraved with the word "tired".

The experiences are not great, nor are they humiliating, but they are just the hardships that an adult man should endure.

No matter how difficult it was, no matter how many times he was trampled into the dirt, he was as humble as a dog, he never complained to his parents and pleaded.

Retracting the hand stretched out to his parents as an adult is the most basic responsibility of a man.

In this life, the same is true.

Looking at the strange father in front of him, Li Qinzai suddenly smiled, and his smile was never brighter.

"Father, the child understands. I will carry the trouble I broke into, and I will not involve the Li family. ”

Li Siwen looked at him in shock, and the movement of his hand brushing his green beard froze.

The responsibility and maturity shown by Li Qinzai at this moment are something he has never seen in his life.

Strange, but also heartache.

The son in front of him suddenly became extremely strange, the young man who had once caused trouble only knew how to prevaricate and beg for mercy and even roll and splash, but at this moment he was like a pine and cypress in the snow, and told him with a tall posture that he could afford it.

The picture in his mind flashed quickly, from Li Qinzai's babbling in his childhood, to his willfulness and arrogance when he was a child, and then to his arrogance and arrogance when he was a teenager......

Only Li Qinzai at this moment today is very unfamiliar with the teaching.

Is it because this disaster is too big, too big to be uncontrollable, and it can't be reversed, so it grew overnight?

Li Siwen suppressed the thoughts in his heart, thinking of the consequences of this trouble, and suddenly felt that his mental strength was lost.

After Li Qinzai finished speaking, he saluted him, turned around and walked out of the front hall.

Li Siwen stared at his back and suddenly stopped him.

"Chinzai."

Li Qinzai stopped.

The brilliance in Li Siwen's eyes was like a burnt lamp oil, gradually dimming.

"If you have such a responsibility one day earlier, the old man will save you even if he fights for his life......"

His eyes turned red, and Li Siwen sighed in a low voice: "...... It's late, it's too late. ”

The big mistake has been made, the ending has been decided, and it is irreparable.
