Li Zhi's question
Since Li Yuan came to Guangzhou, the two brothers, Li Zhi and Li Su, would go to the other courtyard every day to rest.
The three of them have a lot of topics to talk about every day.
For example, Li Zhi and the two coaxed Li Yuan to talk about the big and small battles before the founding of the country.
From time to time, Li Zhi told them stories such as the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin.
Although the Three Kingdoms he said is not good, it is also a classic of the previous life after all.
Therefore, Li Yuan and the others always listen with relish.
When it was Li Su's turn to speak, what he said the most was the interesting things that happened when he was conducting various experiments.
Since Li Su found his interest, the whole person has become a little taciturn.
However, whenever he talks about experiments, he is always able to talk and dance.
Whenever this time Li Zhi would always look at Li Zhi with envy on his face.
Li Su has a talent that is not inferior to Li Zhi at all, and he is more focused than him.
Judging from Li Su's current progress rate, it won't be too long before he will completely surpass Li Zhi.
Li Yuan will also go to Li Su's laboratory to have a look when he has nothing to do.
He wanted to know more intuitively what those reactions were in Li Su's mouth.
Happy times always go by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan has been in Guangzhou for more than a month.
And Li Su's research work has finally been officially completed.
At the same time, the engraving craftsmen finally made engravings that could satisfy Li Zhi.
This also means that Li Su is about to return to Chang'an City to continue teaching his students.
The night before leaving, the three of them had another sumptuous dinner in the courtyard.
Even Li Zhi was persuaded by Li Yuan to drink some fruit wine.
Although it is said that they are next generation to each other, how can an old man like Li Yuan, who has given birth to more than 40 children and has hundreds of grandchildren, come over to each of them?
Therefore, the grandsons who are so close to Li Zhi and Li Su can only be a minority.
It was only when they left their side that Li Yuan would miss it.
Li Yuan drank some drunken immortal brew today, and because he didn't control the amount of alcohol, he drank a little too much in the end.
When the three of them were sitting on the balcony admiring the moon, Li Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked Li Zhi and the others, "Who do you two think is the last beneficiary of the Three Kingdoms?" ”
Li Su thought for a moment and said, "Sun Er thinks it's Cao Cao." ”
Li Yuan smiled and asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Li Su said: "Because he monopolizes the entire north." ”
After hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and reached out to touch the top of Li Su's head.
Then he asked Li Zhi, "What does the pheasant slave think?" ”
Li Zhi said: "Sun Er thought it should be Sima Yi. ”
Li Yuan asked again, "Why is this?" ”
Li Zhi said: "Because he lived long enough, his descendants had a chance to usurp the throne." ”
Li Yuan spoke again: "But his family is constantly fighting until he is driven out and killed?" ”
Li Zhi said: "Grandpa Huang, Sima Yi has already succeeded in finding a chance to be the emperor for the Sima family, as for the future generations, how can he manage it?" ”
Li Yuan said: "Isn't the unfilial piety of future generations a clear proof of his lax discipline?" ”
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Grandson doesn't think so. ”
Li Yuan said: "You can talk about it." ”
Li Zhidao: "The so-called nine sons of the dragon are different, and even in the same educational environment, there will be different personalities. ”
Li Yuan said: "Do you think that human nature is born and cannot be changed in the later stage?" ”
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "My grandson just thinks that there are more congenital than acquired." ”
Li Yuan retorted: "In that case, how can we explain the change in Su'er? ”
Li Zhi looked at Li Su and said, "Sun Er has already seen from the first time he dealt with the sixth brother that he is actually not bad. ”
After Li Yuan listened to Li Zhi's words, his eyes looked at Li Su.
I saw that at this moment, Li Suzheng was slightly tilting his head to avoid Li Zhi's gaze.
At this time, Li Su himself was also reminiscing about the past.
And he didn't know if Li Zhi's answer was correct.
Li Yuan carefully looked at Li Zhi, who was the same as before, and then turned his head to look at Li Zhi suspiciously.
He spoke again and asked, "Why do I look so different now?" ”
Li Zhi said: "Grandpa Huang, please forgive your grandson's bluntness. ”
Li Yuan said: "Forgive you for your innocence. ”
Li Zhi said: "There are many royal children but the resources are limited, and everyone will fight desperately for this. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Li Su again.
The mouth continued: "Even if you are competing for yourself, how many of them can really show their character? ”
After Li Yuan listened to Li Zhi's words, his gaze stayed on his face for a long time.
Then he asked: "Then how do you know that the screamer at this moment is showing her true character?" ”
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang, now that the sixth brother has found his true goal, he no longer has to grieve himself for the sake of competing for that limited resource. ”
After hearing this, Li Yuan carefully recalled Li Su's recent performance.
Indeed, as Li Zhi said, he didn't pay attention to anything other than the experiment at all.
After being silent for a while, Li Yuan asked Li Zhi again: "Is the pheasant slave showing his true character now?" ”
Li Zhi said with a smile: "My grandson has never had any defects since he was born, so why should he change himself like others?" ”
After Li Yuan heard Li Zhi's words, he was stunned at first.
Then I suddenly laughed out loud with a "haha".
After laughing for a while, he spoke: "I almost forgot that you little devil was originally favored by the heavens, but in this way, the other princes should be jealous!" ”
Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "That's why my grandson has to give them a lot of good things every year." ”
Li Yuan laughed again after hearing this.
Then he said approvingly: "This brother and brother are the right way!" ”
After saying this, Li Yuan suddenly thought of something, so he suddenly sighed with a gloomy expression.
When Li Zhi saw this, he knew what Li Yuan had in mind.
So he rolled his eyes and asked, "Grandpa Huang, did you say that my father would have other choices at the beginning?" ”
After Li Yuan listened to Li Zhi's words, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Then he fell into a long silence.
The Xuanwu Gate Revolution was an issue he had been avoiding.
It was precisely because of his original balancing strategy and neutral attitude that the struggle between the three Li Shimin brothers intensified, and then the Xuanwumen change occurred.
Li Zhi's question left him unanswered.
Because from the moment he let the three brothers face each other in court, he was already destined to have a fratricidal situation.
The only difference may only be in the time and which son he is going to lose.
Li Yuan never wanted to admit that this was his mistake.
Therefore, he has always stubbornly expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Shimin in various ways.
However, today's question of Li Zhi directly points to the root of that incident.
When facing death, can Li Shimin have any other choice?
