Seeing Li Xing ask this, Xing Guogong Li Zhong's expression became very solemn.

He stared at Li Xing and said in a deep voice, "Son! You must always remember one thing, don't think about controlling everything, those who control will die, and those who achieve great things often judge the situation and follow the trend. ”

Li Xing knew that this was his father reminding him.

So he listened honestly.

Xing Guogong was also very satisfied when he saw Li Xing being so serious.

continued: "For example, this time, the emperor was infected with smallpox, and those people thought that the emperor would definitely die, so they took advantage of the situation to overthrow the crown prince and support the empress dowager's favorite youngest son, King Lu, to ascend to the throne. ”

Why is that? Isn't the crown prince the grandson of the Empress Dowager? ”

Li Xing still couldn't figure it out.

Xing Guogong smiled: "Where does the grandson have a son, not to mention, the prince and you made such a big move in Lingwu, the Zhou family told the Empress Dowager Zhou about the meaning of the misinterpretation, she was old and intellectual, so she naturally thought that the prince was mediocre." ”

"This makes the Empress Dowager Zhou worry that after a hundred years, the Zhou family will be retaliated against, so she wants her youngest son to take the throne, not only to maintain the Great Xia country, but also to maintain the Zhou family, killing two birds with one stone."

"Isn't that naïve? Isn't Empress Dowager Zhou worried about her relatives interfering in politics? Aren't you afraid that the Zhou family will take advantage of this to usurp the throne? You must know that King Lu has been going to the local domain since he was a child, but he has no foundation in Kyoto? ”

The lessons of history tell Li Xing that there is a high probability that this kind of thing will happen.

King Lu has no foundation and becomes the emperor, isn't that a puppet?

"Don't be afraid, no, Empress Dowager Zhou didn't even think about it, in her opinion, the children of the Zhou family are all loyal ministers and relatives, and they will definitely help his youngest son wholeheartedly."

Although Xing Guogong is just a simple sentence.

Li Xing heard the meaning of the words.

He asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the Zhou family really has the intention of usurping?" ”

"Yes, but it's wishful thinking."

Li Zhong smiled coldly.

Suddenly thought of something, and suddenly changed his style and said: "This time follow the prince to suppress bandits, be sure to follow the prince around, and when you see that the situation is not good, you will leave with the prince, and you must not be reckless, putting yourself and the prince in danger." ”

"Hmm."

Li Xing nodded.

Xing Guogong didn't say the reason, and Li Xing didn't ask smartly.

He only memorized the key words, and in case of danger, he took the prince to save his life together.

The father and son talked a lot this time, and even Xing Guogong asked about ancient books.

When he heard Li Xing say that he would donate those books and establish an academy of sciences, Xing Guogong nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, my son has done this, and he will definitely be stronger than you in the future, and he will go down in history."

"Dad, it's been awarded, and with your current status, it's more than enough to go down in history."

"Difficult."

Xing Guogong just shook his head and said a word, but the reason was not mentioned at all.

Li Xing also wanted to ask why, but Xing Guogong diverted the topic.

Then he said earnestly: "Son! You have to remember that Kyoto is not a place for you to develop, as long as you manage Reibu well, you will have a lot to do in the future. ”

"My son understands, Dad, if you want to run Lingwu well, the surrounding counties must also let me control it, if the prince and I succeed in suppressing the bandits, can you help me arrange the position of the prefect of Ling'an Mansion?"

Li Xing took this opportunity to put forward a further idea.

Instead of being angry, Xing Guogong was happy.

The son is learning and applying, and Li Xing's request is not excessive.

If he and the crown prince could really recover Hedongcheng, those families were worried that the two would increase the emperor's strength in Kyoto, so they would naturally agree to give Li Xing a prefect.

"Then you and the crown prince must plan carefully this time and be sure to win."

Xing Guogong can be regarded as agreeing to Li Xing.

It's just that Li Xing thought that Xing Guogong still had to instruct him on how to use soldiers!

Who knew that Xing Guogong didn't talk about this topic.

After all, Li Xing had no experience in suppressing bandits, and Ouyang Xiong and the others were not by the prince's side.

So Li Xing still has no bottom in his heart.

In the end, I couldn't help but ask: "Dad, when you were suppressing bandits, you didn't have anything to remind the child?" ”

"I believe in my son's abilities."

Xing Guogong replied with a smile, and when he saw the disappointment in Li Xing's eyes, he added: "However, since my son asked, my father has a little immature suggestion, to fight these bandits who incite the people, we should focus on exterminating the backbone members of the bandits, supplemented by pacifying the people. ”

"Those people are also pitiful, the main reason why they follow the White Lotus Sect like wanderers is to avoid the epidemic, after all, my Great Xia Law stipulates that ordinary people, especially a large number of people, cannot leave the villages and towns where they live at will."

Although Xing Guogong is just a few seemingly simple words.

It really saw through the essence of the matter directly.

And those White Lotus Sect disciples also saw through this, so that they could gather tens of thousands of people in a short period of time.

Knowing the cause and dealing with it, you can naturally have a better grasp of it.

"Thank you for my father's advice, now that the epidemic is prevalent, although the child has mastered the method of treating the epidemic, he is worried that the soldiers of the Xishan Guard will not believe it, and I wonder if my father can go to demonstrate it in person, so I say that you have the epidemic and the child cured it?"

Li Xing was still hesitant to make this request.

But after listening to Xing Guogong's words, he decided that the situation had changed now.

His dad actually said that he could follow the trend, so he wanted to try it.

Sure enough, as he had guessed in his heart.

Xing Guogong didn't hesitate at all, patted Li Xing's shoulder with a smile and said, "Yes, my son has grown up, and my father thought that you would not propose this method for the sake of face!" ”

"After many years of traveling in the rivers and lakes, my son is no longer the stupid boy who wants to save face and suffer crimes."

Li Xing replied with a smile.

Seeing that Xing Guogong was in a good mood, he cautiously and tentatively asked him about his mother.

"Dad, my lost memories have been restored, why didn't my mother say goodbye back then? Can you tell me about that? ”

Hearing that Li Xing's memory was restored, Xing Guogong's eyes flashed with excitement, but he quickly forcibly suppressed it.

Although it was only for a moment, Li Xing captured it.

Just when he thought that Xing Guogong would tell him some truth, Xing Guogong just shook his head and said: "Son, this matter is very important, the time is not yet ripe, Dad can't say, when the time is ripe in the future, you will naturally know, but Dad has to correct a little, your mother is not saying goodbye." ”

"Is my mother still alive? Why did Uncle Nishino say that my mother was killed by you? ”

Li Xing asked again.

This time, Li Zhong did not speak, but fell into the memories of the past.

This memory did not seem to be good, and the expression on his face sometimes became angry, sometimes hideous.

When he opened his eyes again, the expression on his face returned to normal again.

However, there was a little more guilt in his eyes when he looked at Li Xing: "Alive, she will definitely live." ”
