Chapter 8 Secret Conversation in the Study
"Genius? What's that? Li Yi asked with a frown.
Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he remembered that the word genius might not have been given that meaning at this time.
"A genius is a genius! Oh, to put it simply, it's the meaning of a prodigy~" Li Ping'an explained.
"Bang!"
Before the words fell, he immediately suffered a chestnut on his head, and he screamed out on the spot in pain.
"Ouch, grandfather, what did you do to hit me?"
"I'm beating you who are not ashamed, how can anyone boast that he is a prodigy? You stinky boy! If you're a child prodigy, then why haven't I ever heard anyone talk about it? Li Yi pouted and scolded, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Li Ping'an was so angry in his heart! I wanted to be honest with him, but he gave himself a violent slap!
If you don't let him believe what he says, why would he say that he is a prodigy? As for why others didn't find out, it's because they disguised themselves well, right?
However, he is not a gold on his face, first, his current intelligence is compared to children of the same age, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a prodigy. Second, he really has a skill that even he feels incredible, enough to be called a prodigy!
That's the ability to remember! And not only in his life, but even every book he read in his previous life, every thing in his memory, and every fragment of his life can now be reproduced in his mind like a projector!
He didn't understand what was going on, but it was definitely a great thing for him, wasn't it? However, his mind has already matured, and he naturally does not show off everywhere like a child, but hides himself as much as possible.
Of course, although he was angry in his heart, Li Ping'an could only swallow this breath at the moment and continue to explain to him, who made him his grandfather!
"That's because I know I can't let others find out that I'm a prodigy, so I haven't shown it." Li Ping'an said in a slightly helpless tone.
"! Even if you're a child prodigy, why can't you let others know? Li Yi's eyes flashed.
"Grandfather! Do you really not know why? Li Ping'an did not avoid this time, but looked at Li Yi seriously and asked word by word.
He absolutely didn't believe that a victorious general who could be invincible across the territory would not even be able to figure out these things! After all, there is a word called soldiers who are not tired of deceit, if Li Yi is really the kind of person with tendons, how can he be able to strategize and strategize on the battlefield full of dangers?
Therefore, he has every reason to suspect that his grandfather actually understands everything, but he is just pretending to be confused!
Li Yi's face froze, and then he was silent and did not answer.
"Grandfather, your martial arts are the best in the world, and the Emperor of Qi has personally worshiped you as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Qi country, holding 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Qi country, and there is no one to beat in the territory. And the father, is immersed in the way of Confucianism, and his achievements on it are close to the ancient sages, and it is often said that with the posture of the world, sooner or later he will show the posture of a saint, and the official worship of the sky is just around the corner! With the existence of the two of you, the Li family is like a day in the sky in the Qi country! Whether it is a marquis or many rewards, they are all almost at the peak! If I am at this time, I will appear as a proud son of the sky, a natural prodigy! Grandfather, think about it, if you are Emperor Qi, can you really not be afraid of such a family? ”
After Li Ping'an finished speaking, Li Yi's calm face was no longer there, but looked at Li Ping'an like a monster. His heart was extremely surprised, although he had already made some psychological preparations, but he was still shocked at the moment. Is this really something that a six-year-old child can say?
"These... Did you really come up with it all yourself? Li Yi asked in disbelief.
Li Ping'an shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then said: "Naturally, so I said that I had to explain to my grandfather that I was a prodigy, otherwise grandfather, it would be difficult for you to accept that I was a six-year-old child saying these words, didn't you?" ”
This was indeed what he was saying, and a six-year-old would not attract much attention from adults in any way, unless he could hear something unexpected from his mouth. And Li Ping'an's best listening object at the moment is his grandfather Li Yi. What he wants to do at this age, with his grandfather's understanding and support, it will be much more convenient.
Li Yi was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly, and complained in his heart, who are you a prodigy? You're a youkai! After all, he has lived for so many years, and he has not seen those prodigies who wrote poems at the age of five and composed essays at the age of seven. But they are all just gifted, but they are still just children mentally, who can discuss with me these questions involving the art of imperial power like you?
He just wanted to speak, but suddenly sensed that the carriage had stopped, and he should have arrived home, so he whispered to Li Ping'an: "Let's go, let's go back and talk." ”
......
The Li family
Chen Yun was originally in Ping'an's grandmother's room, gossiping with her old man, while sewing close-fitting clothes and cotton socks for Ping'an. Originally, it was naturally not her turn to do these jobs, but as a mother, of course, she wanted to do as much as possible for her son. Therefore, she did a lot of things about peace by herself.
The two were laughing and talking, and suddenly heard the maid say that the young master was back, so they went out to see.
But as soon as they went out, they found that Li Yi had already pulled Li Ping'an past in front of them with a serious face, and walked towards his study upright, without any intention of talking to anyone at all.
"Hey! You old man, why don't you pay attention to people? Why are you taking my grandson there? "Even if the grandmother is not happy, her good grandson was pulled away by Li Yi before he came back to say a word to her, can she not stare at her?
"Huh? Madame, are you here? Li Yi stopped, looked like he had just seen them, and said in surprise.
"Father." Chen Yun on the side also smiled and saluted when she saw this, and then said: "I was talking with my mother in the room, and suddenly I heard that you came back peacefully, so I came out to take a look." ”
"Well, then you mother and daughter can continue to busy your business. Chen An and I have something to say in the study, don't let anyone disturb us during this time. Li Yi nodded and finished speaking, and then pulled Li Ping'an and left in a hurry without looking back, as if he was afraid of being stopped by his wife.
Grandmother's eyes widened suddenly, what could they do? What did he have to say to Li Ping'an in the study? Why is something wrong with this old guy today? It's just that when she just wanted to speak again, she was stopped by Chen Yun on the side.
"Well, Mother, Father must really have something to say about peace. And he rarely goes home on weekdays, but now he finally comes back once so that they can talk to their grandparents and grandchildren. Chen Yun persuaded softly.
Grandmother glanced at her, and then said helplessly: "It's not that I don't talk to them, it's just that I have to go to the study to say something?" I'm afraid that I'm not going to get into trouble outside again, and I'm going to make this old fellow unhappy, and now I'm going to the study to teach him a lesson. This old guy doesn't talk lightly or heavily..."
Chen Yun pursed her lips and chuckled when she heard this, and then said: "Ping'an, this child is naughty and ruthless on weekdays, if he really makes his father unhappy, he should be disciplined." It's just that when I look at him, I shouldn't have made any mistakes today. ”
"Oh? How do you know? ”
"Giggle." Chen Yun smiled even more happily, as if he had thought of something happy, "Mother, have you forgotten what it was like every time he made a mistake and was about to be beaten?" When I saw you, it was not like seeing a savior, crying and shouting and running towards you, how could I honestly follow my father as I do today? ”
"Oh! Hahaha, that's true when you say that! When my grandmother heard this, she immediately laughed and relieved herself, she was the most protective of peace in this family, if Ping An really made any mistakes, it was indeed impossible to ignore her.
"Hehe, this little peace of our family is really weird. Okay, since their grandfather and grandson have gone to talk, then there is nothing to do, let's go back to the room and talk. Grandmother said with a smile.
"Yes, Mother."
......
Li Yi's study
Every time he comes here, Li Ping'an will sigh with emotion, who said how reckless the general is? Take a look at his grandfather's study, which is full of shelves full of all kinds of books, from the art of war to the history of etiquette. Who can calm down and read so many books?
This also confirmed his inner guess that his grandfather must be pretending to be confused. In other words, my grandfather's heart is only on the battlefield, and he really doesn't want to get involved in these court deceptions, and he doesn't want to understand.
Originally, Li Ping'an thought that his grandfather would ask him something immediately after taking him to the study, but who would have thought that he was standing in front of the desk with his back to him, looking at a plaque hanging on the wall behind him, and did not speak for a long time.
Brave and unbeatable! The plaque is engraved with these four large characters. Li Ping'an knows its origin, which is a reward from the emperor that his grandfather received when he was young, and it was carved by the master carver Wang Xianwen himself. I think that when he was rewarded, my grandfather must have been quite high-spirited, right? It's just that now, thinking of the mentality that the current Emperor Qi might have towards his grandfather, Li Ping'an could only sigh secretly.
After a long time, Li Yi turned around, looked at Li Ping'an with a slightly stunned look in his eyes, and said slowly:
"When the emperor was still alive, he loved me very much. Not only for me, but also for the Li family at that time. When I was only 20 years old, he commissioned Mr. Wang Xianwen, the master carver at that time, to engrave such a plaque for me, which was to fancy my ability, and to hope that I could fight for our Qi country, and hoped that under my leadership, Qi could reunify the world and restore the prosperity and glory under the rule of the Jin Dynasty. This is also what the emperor called me to the bed before he died, and finally instructed me. ”
"Alas!" Speaking of this, Li Yi stopped and sighed in a low mood.
"But... However, I failed to live up to the expectations of the previous emperor, and after thirty or forty years of fighting, I could only stick to one side after all, and I never took the territory of Qi to the outside world! Just like this, others still call me General Chang Sheng, every time I hear it, I am really like a man, miserable! What is the winning general? It's ridiculous, in the end, I'm just a shrunken turtle who can only defend and dare not fight back! I'm ashamed! I am ashamed of the great kindness of the former emperor and the entrustment of the former emperor! Li Yi said bitterly.
"But, grandfather, you can't be blamed for that! You've done your best! Li Ping'an hurriedly comforted.
"Do your best? Hehe..."Li Yi shook his head with a wry smile.
Li Ping'an glanced at him suspiciously, what did he mean by this? With his grandfather's status in this Qi country, can anyone still influence him to march and fight? And even if someone can do it, they shouldn't dare to do it. Say?! Li Ping'an, who thought of a possibility, suddenly widened his eyes!
"Could it be that ... Is it the emperor?? ”
Li Yi sorted out his emotions a little, glanced at him, and then said softly: "It seems that you are really like a demon." ”
How could a normal six-year-old child have such a sharp mind?
Li Ping'an: "......"
"Ping, grandfather understands what you mean, you chose to suddenly confess to me today, because you don't want me to continue to help you as a child, because you have some ideas that you want to talk to me, or because you want me to do some things for you. But... There's one thing I need you to promise me first. When Li Yi said this, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely serious.
Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and then nodded seriously and said, "Grandfather, you said, listen to Ping'an." ”
"That is, no matter what Your Majesty will do to our Li family in the future, you must promise me that you will never have two hearts for the royal family of Qi Country, and you will never do anything that endangers Qi Country! Always loyal to the Qi country! Can you do it? ”
