Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Those who do not plan for the eternity cannot plan for a moment.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ª her, the more glorious and infinite the time when wealth and wealth are at its peak, the more it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the situation, prepare a safe situation for oneself in advance, and ensure safety first, and then seek development.  This is how Li Su laid it out.  From the day he stepped into the court, Li Su walked on thin ice and never allowed himself to make any mistakes, not only because it was related to his own life, but more importantly, the lives of his father and Xu Mingzhu were also closely tied to him.  Together, one loses and both lose.  Such a heavy responsibility does not allow Li Su to make mistakes.  Not only must you not make mistakes, but you must also be like those old foxes in the court, taking one step and watching a hundred steps.  Wangzhuang is one of Li Su¡¯s future plans.  Li Su has always been wary of the imperial family. This is true for Li Shimin, and so is Li Zhi, who will be the emperor in the future.  It is undeniable that Li Zhi has a very deep friendship with him now. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are friends in life and death. Li Su believes that even if he asks Li Zhi for anyone or anything at this time, Li Zhi will agree without hesitation, and  Offered willingly.  However, at this moment and that moment, Li Zhi's simple and kind-heartedness today is because of his nature, and also because he has not yet sat in the position where everyone is worshiping him. Because he has nothing to gain, there is nothing to lose.  If one day Li Zhi really grows up, his mind matures, and his imperial skills become more proficient, then will the friendship between Li Zhi and him remain as close as it is today without any grudges?  In the face of money and power, human nature is pitifully fragile. It can never withstand the test, like a bubble in the sun, it bursts at the touch of a touch.  In the future, when Li Zhi becomes emperor, he may or may not be treated as he was before. No matter what the outcome, Li Su dare not bet. He cannot afford to bet, because the lives of his father, wife and children are also bets.  No man with any conscience would risk the lives of his loved ones on the humanity of others.  Therefore, Li Su had to take the initiative and bury an escape route in advance. If one day Li Zhi really had a conflict with him, became suspicious of him, or even had murderous intentions, Li Su would easily retreat and take his family with him.  Escaped from Chang'an and fled to the Western Regions.  The premise of this retreat is that Wang Zhuang will gradually take control of the military power in the Western Regions in the next ten years, enter the Anxi Protectorate, and have enough ability to protect Li Su and his family.  The Western Region is as far away as the border, and the spring breeze never blows. For Li Su, it is a new world.  But from the bottom of his heart, Li Su hopes that he will never use this retreat. Otherwise, half of his life will be sad.  Wang Zhuang is a rough man. He does not have as complicated a mind as Li Su. The place that suits him is on the battlefield. He can strike with a knife and return it with a knife, fighting for his life without complaining about life or death.  So Li Su talked for a long time, but Wang Zhuang still had his eyes open, with a confused look on his face.  On the other hand, Wang Zhi, who has been in the streets of Chang'an City for these years, is much better than his brother in terms of scheming and experience. After Li Su finished speaking, Wang Zhi immediately understood, but said nothing, and just looked at it deeply.  Li Su glanced at him.  "What retreat? Why leave a retreat? Are you in trouble in Chang'an?" Wang Zhuang asked blankly.  Li Su smiled bitterly, okay, it's good to stay simple like this. In fact, he envied Wang Zhuang. A simple-minded person lived without worries. Any trouble he encountered in life was just one or two punches to him.  If you can't solve the problem with your fists, you should immediately go to a smart person for help and throw the pot away.  If this is a food chain, there is no doubt that Wang Zhuang is at the top of the food chain, and Li Sudu is shorter than him.  Li Su was too lazy to answer Wang Zhuang's question, but Wang Zhi suddenly said: "Brother Mo Duo asked, I can't explain this matter in one sentence or two. Just do what Li Su said to do." Wang Zhuang blinked, and then showed a sudden realization.  "Oh" The exaggerated expression of sudden realization did not attract the approval of Li Su and Wang Zhi. Li Su still didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned around and said to Wang Zhi: "Bet five cents, your brother actually doesn't understand at all." Wang  He nodded straight: "There's no way to bet, that's what I thought too, and the way my brother suddenly realized it just now was purely because of his inferiority complex, and he was afraid that we would see through his stupidity, so he had to suddenly realize that he was pretending to be someone who actually wasn't.  Not stupid" Li Su continued: "He actually doesn't know that our wise eyes have penetrated his strong body, penetrated his cowardly and inferior soul, and uncovered his cowardice hidden in the deepest part of human nature"  Wang Zhi then said: "Not only did we find out, we also tortured him severely." The two ignored Wang Zhuang and exchanged words with each other. Wang Zhuang's face on the side had already turned purple, and his nostrils, ears and eyes were vaguely visible.  Huffing and puffing.  With Wang Zhuang¡¯s temper, although he did not dare to do anything to Li Su, he still wanted to teach his younger brother how to behave.?It¡¯s stress-free.  As soon as Wang Zhi finished speaking, Wang Zhuang slapped Wang Zhi with his palm, knocking Wang Zhi's face to the ground and throwing up a cloud of dust.  "That's enough for you! I am now a general in charge of more than a thousand people. The general's face is very important." Wang Zhuang showed a majestic look.  Li Su sneered: "Are you proud of having more than a thousand people? Do you know how many people I have under my control during this Eastern Expedition?" Wang Zhuang suddenly withered like a deflated rubber ball.  Pointing at Wang Zhi, Li Su continued: "It's unfair to compare you with me. Let's talk about your brother. Although he is just a rogue in Chang'an City now" Wang Zhi became anxious and interrupted: "  He is obviously a hero!" Li Su said, "Yes, the polite term is a hero, but he is actually a rogue, the boss of the evil gang in Chang'an City. Do you know how many people he controls?" Wang  After being stunned for a long time, he looked up at the sky and sighed faintly: "I suddenly began to miss the Western Regions. The wind and sand in the sky, the scorching sunshine, the simple people, and most importantly, no one there dared to hurt my heart like this"  Li Su's expression suddenly froze, and he was silent for a long time thoughtfully. He turned to look at Wang Zhi and said, "Speaking of those people under your command, you haven't shown up recently, have you?" Wang Zhi shook his head: "After listening to your words,  I haven¡¯t appeared in public for nearly a year, and all matters are left to the four close men below. I don¡¯t care about anything" As he said this, Wang Zhi suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Those four people used to be  My confidants, but they act in a very orderly manner and manage the brothers below them obediently. I didn¡¯t notice it at first glance. Later, I observed carefully for a long time and found that there was a hint of government in their management of the brothers below.  Now it is certain that at least two of these four people are from the imperial court. Knowing the stakes, I am even more afraid to show up." Li Su looked solemn and nodded: "It seems that my conclusion is correct.  , the power in our hands has already fallen into the eyes of His Majesty. His Majesty inserted people in order to completely control this power in his own hands" With a little worry on his face, Li Su said solemnly: "This matter  The matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Now His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse, and he may die at any time. As a wise emperor, he will never forget this matter before he dies. If I still pretend to be before His Majesty's death,  If you are confused, your Majesty may kill me." Wang Zhi said in shock: "Your Majesty has always been very fond of you, and you have just made great achievements in Goguryeo. We have almost dedicated our hands to your Majesty the power of Chang'an City.  , It's just that he didn't say it clearly. Your Majesty won't kill you, right?" Li Su sighed: "We have cultivated a force under the emperor's feet, and the facts have proved that this force is very powerful and harmful to the royal rule.  In your Majesty's eyes, I have lost my way as a minister. To put it more seriously, I am suspected of treason. From ancient times to the present, whenever the word "rebellion" is mentioned, no matter how many contributions this person has made for the imperial court in the past, it can be wiped out in one stroke.  , this alone is enough to make the emperor have murderous intentions. Before His Majesty dies, he will definitely deal with this force, or deal with me, there is no reason to say. "The Wang brothers were stunned.  Wang Zhi said anxiously: "How about we meet His Majesty and simply plead guilty? If we take the initiative to plead guilty, Your Majesty might let us go" Li Su smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, there was only a layer of window paper between us and Your Majesty.  Each of us is pretending to be confused. If we take the initiative to pierce this layer of window paper, there will be no room for change between His Majesty and us. The matter will definitely be known to the whole world. Even if His Majesty doesn't want to kill me, he won't be able to stop me.  The people who live in the world have forced him to kill him, so at this time today, this layer of window paper must not be penetrated, otherwise he will be killed!  Wang Zhi sighed: "It doesn't work to admit guilt, and it doesn't work to continue to pretend to be confused. What should we do?"  " Li Su shook his head: "I can't think of a solution for the time being. I'll think about it in the next few days.  "                                                                                                                                                                                     find the three people sitting on the mountainside, bathing in the warm spring sun, relaxed and chatting about the past, laughing and scolding, time passed  Unconsciously, the afternoon passed, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the foot of the mountain. A dozen people from the Li family were waiting at the foot of the mountain, and then dismounted in a hurry.  After saying something, he handed Buqu a piece of paper and bowed his hands toward the mountainside. Finally, he got on his horse and hurried away, taking the paper and running towards the mountainside. Everything fell into Li Su's eyes.  , Li Su's heart couldn't help but look at the expressions on the people's faces.??Something big happened.  Not long after, Buqu ran up to Li Su and gasped: "My lord, your Majesty has issued a decree. His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, is officially appointed as the Crown Prince of the East Palace. The three provinces are enacting the decree to the world" Li Suyi  Startled, then laughed out loud.  "Okay, I finally heard the good news!" Li Su, who was in high spirits, stretched out his hand towards Bu Qu: "Has the imperial edict been compiled and copied?" Bu Qu respectfully handed over a piece of paper and said: "The person who just sent the message was my uncle.  The people in the house have also copied the imperial edict and handed it over to the prince for review. "Li Su took the note and read it in a low voice: "In the past, King Zhe received the plan, followed the example of the saint, and established the crown prince to serve.  The ancestral temple, the governor of Ningbang Kingdom I call this son, who can be trusted by everyone, can guard the throne forever, and be the crown prince of all countries.  , prepare gifts and book orders." After reading, Li Su read the imperial edict again, carefully, and even chewed every word in it, then put away the note and said with a smile: "  Well, the big thing is done! The King of Jin has indeed been crowned the prince. It is a great joy. We will prepare a banquet in the palace today to celebrate." The Wang brothers were also very happy. Wang Zhi smiled and said, "You should prepare some generous gifts.  Go to Prince Jin's Mansion immediately to congratulate you. It can't be too late." Li Su shook his head and said, "I guess there are already a lot of people in front of Prince Jin's Mansion. Prince Jin No, His Royal Highness is very busy, so I won't.  Let's wait until the wave of congratulations has passed." Turning to look at Bu Qu, Li Su said, "Go to the palace and tell Madam, and ask her to prepare a generous gift and send it to Prince Jin's Palace, and tell His Highness the Crown Prince by the way.  Just say that I will visit him in a few days." Bu Qu responded.  Li Su stretched out and smiled at the two Wang brothers: "Today is a good weather, and I heard good news again. Let's go to my house for a few drinks to congratulate King Jin on being crowned the prince." Wang Zhuang  He smiled and said, "Congratulations to you too. In the future when King Jin ascends the throne, your rank will be even higher. Maybe you will be the prime minister below one person but above ten thousand people. The Li family's rise is just around the corner." Li Su shook his head:  "For me, official title is not important. Instead, I have to remind myself that I need to be more careful in my conduct and actions in the future. A prominent family may seem to have unlimited glory, but in fact it is surrounded by dangers. Especially for an emerging powerful person like me, one wrong step will lead to eternal disaster.  So I have to make calculations and self-reflection all the time. I may have to live like this for the rest of my life. "        Three days later, Li Su finally entered Chang'an City.  After entering the city, Li Su dismounted, and the tribesmen led the horses and walked slowly. When they reached Zhuque Street, Li Su suddenly stopped.  Fang Laowu came forward and said, "Master, do you have any orders?" Li Su thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, lives in Changxingfang, right?" "Yes." Li Su stood there and thought for a moment, then said  : "Let's not go to His Highness the Crown Prince's residence first. Let's go to Prince Wei's Mansion instead. I want to pay him a visit." Fang Laowu was stunned for a long time and did not dare to ask any more questions, so everyone turned to Prince Wei's Mansion.  ??The Prince of Wei's Mansion is still the same as before. The four words "Assassage the Prince of Wei's Mansion" hanging high on the lintel are shining with golden light. Two rows of guards on duty stand in front of the door with their heads held high and their chests high, without losing any power.  However, the palace has an aura of decadence from the inside out. The palace that used to be crowded with guests is now deserted and the carriages and horses are extinct.  Li Su sighed.  ??This is how the world is in the cold. What a glorious scene the King of Wei was back then. When his power was at its peak, nearly half of the courtiers in the court took refuge with the King of Wei, and the King of Wei's chariots, horses, and retinue were of the same standard as the prince.  Once a tall building was built, it collapsed.  Li Su stood in front of the palace gate in a daze for a while, then straightened his clothes, stepped forward and said to a guard on duty: "Please come into the palace and tell me that Li Su, the Duke of Jingyang County, has come to visit His Highness King Wei."  Stunned, apparently even he did not expect that when he only saw the newcomers laughing and heard the old ones crying, County Duke Li would actually come to visit the King of Wei who was doomed to lose power.  After being stunned for a moment, the guard saluted Li Su, then turned around and hurried into the mansion.  Not long after, an old man of half a hundred years came out to greet him. He was the steward of the palace. He bowed and invited Li Su in with a smile, saying that King Wei was waiting for him in the front hall.  Li Sushi walked into the palace with a calm expression and leisurely steps, and walked slowly into the front hall of the palace.  In the front hall, King Li Tai of Wei was lying on a low table with his upper body naked, revealing his greasy white flesh. He was holding a wine pot in one hand, as if he was drunk and dreaming, and laughed intoxicatedly.  Still inside the palaceThe kabuki was dancing to the music of the musicians, and Li Tai, who was already eighty or ninety-nine drunk, would twitch with the music from time to time.  There were several women lying on the ground, their clothes in messy clothes, obviously drunk, and they were whispering something like crazy.  Li Su stood on the threshold, frowning at the lewd scene in front of him, feeling disgusted in his heart.  ¡°Obviously, the prince who failed to seize the throne was not only drunk, but also took Wu Shi Powder. Looking at this scene, he took a lot.  Li Su raised his finger and pointed at the musicians and kabuki dancers in the hall. Li Su said calmly: "You all should step aside." The musicians and kabuki dancers hesitated for a moment. Seeing Li Su's unquestioning expression, no one dared to ask any more questions.  They all exited the hall in a sensible manner.  Li Su shook his head, the world is such a reality, success and failure, scenery and decadence, every day in every corner of the world, their own joys and sorrows are staged. At this moment, King Wei in front of him, his joys and sorrows are no different from others.  Walking up to Li Tai, Li Tai was still drunk, lying on the table and giggling. Li Su stretched out his hand to push him awake, but when he saw the big lump of white fat on Li Tai's exposed upper body, Li Su turned it aside in disgust.  He curled his lips, thought for a while, took out a square scarf from his arms and covered his hands, then stretched out to Li Tai's shoulder, and pushed him hard through the square scarf.  "His Royal Highness, King Wei, wake up!" Li Tai had no reaction, his silly smile remained the same.  Li Su withdrew his hand, and didn¡¯t want the square scarf that had touched Li Tai, and threw it on the ground.  Seeing Li Tai drooling like crazy, Li Su touched his chin and thought for a while, then took a silver wine pot from the table, carefully inserted the slender spout into Li Tai's nostril, and then  With a sudden tilt, the wine in the pot poured down the spout into Li Tai's nostrils. The nostrils were open to the trachea, and Li Tai suddenly coughed heartbreakingly.  "Who! Who dares to be so rude!" Li Tai glanced around with red eyes, and then he saw Li Su with a bright smile.  "Hi" Li Su waved hello, with a friendly expression and a heartfelt smile.  "It's you!" Li Tai's eyes became redder and redder, like a mad cow after seeing the red cloth, and he rushed towards Li Su with white air spraying from his nostrils.  Li Su suddenly felt that he should really hold a piece of red cloth in his hand "Your Highness, King Wei, calm down!" Seeing Li Tai getting closer and closer, Li Su hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "You must have thought clearly. Today you just need to touch  I will definitely fall to the ground and roll on the ground wailing if I get a hair on my head. If I don't lie on the hospital bed for two years, I will take your surname. Believe me, my acting skills are careless. If your father finds out, haha  ¡­¡± Huh?  Something seemed wrong Li Tai immediately stopped, his drunkenness immediately reduced by three points, and his mind regained some sanity.  Li Su¡¯s method of waking him up was so immoral. Li Tai still felt a burning pain in his nostrils and pain in his trachea, and his tears couldn¡¯t stop flowing. It was very refreshing.  "Li Zizheng, why did you come to my house? Are you here to laugh at me, a loser, and then beat up the lost dog?" Li Tai said angrily in a hoarse voice.  Li Su sighed: "Your Highness is getting more and more upright. How can you compare yourself with a dog? I won't allow you to insult yourself like this!" Li Tai: "" After confirming that Li Tai would not hurt himself, Li Suluoluo  He generously walked to a low table and sat down, casually took a wine bottle, shook it a few times, and found that there was wine in it. He turned around and looked around, but couldn't find a clean wine cup, so he simply took the spout of the pot in his mouth.  He took a sip of wine, took a long breath after drinking, and then showed a disgusted expression.  "Sanlejiang tsk tsk, Your Highness the King of Wei, our grievances are grievances, and business is business. The spirits produced in my workshop are so delicious, why don't you buy my wine?" He pointed at Li Tai, who was silent and speechless.  , Li Su said sadly: "You are too narrow-minded!"
