Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Su has always believed that Li Tai is not a bad person. Although he and Li Zhi had some secret confrontations when they competed for the position of prince, Li Tai still has a bottom line and has not done anything evil. They will fight with each other.  The scope is controlled within the palace and court.  Although he is not a bad person, he is not a good person either. Li Tai's aloofness and arrogance, his condescending mentality, his lack of respect for the poor and lowly civilians, etc. These are his faults, and Li Su can't stand him.  reason.  Obviously Li Tai did not realize this. If there are many reasons for the failure of the crown prince, Li Tai's arrogance is one of the important reasons.  Born in a heavenly family, he is erudite and talented. He is sure that he is the only candidate for the future crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. His sympathy for the people is only based on the mentality of giving alms. If such a person becomes the emperor, he will definitely not be a good emperor.  Li Su¡¯s words were very rude and a slap in the face. Li Tai¡¯s face turned red and he stared at Li Su with a hint of guilt. It seemed that he also realized that he had indeed said the wrong thing.  Li Su sighed: "Since His Majesty appointed the King of Jin as the Crown Prince, you have been blaming others as a loser. Have you ever reflected on yourself? In fact, you are not suitable to be the Crown Prince at all, let alone the next generation emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"  At this question, Li Tai became angry and sneered: "Yes, I am not suitable. Li Zhi's kid with no hair is suitable. He has been a coward since he was a child and has never dared to fight with others. He clearly deserves what belongs to him."  , he didn¡¯t take the initiative to fight for it. What kind of situation would such a person bring to the Tang Dynasty when he became a king? If a foreign country invades our territory, will he cede territory to the enemy and kneel down to beg for peace? " Li Su sighed.  He said in a tone: "It seems that you don't know your brother at all. Li Zhi seems to be cowardly, but in fact he is very independent, and he is resolute and tenacious in his bones. He has the demeanor of a gentleman and a saint. More importantly,  "Li Zhi has kindness and respect for the people. If he were the emperor, he would be a blessing to the people of the world. You can't do this." Li Tai said angrily: "Why do you say I can't do it?"  I can be kind and reverent to the people. I can do everything a holy king should do!" Li Su sighed: "You can think about it this way now. If one day you become the emperor, no one in the world can restrain you.  Do you still think so? No one forces you to do anything. To implement benevolent policies and practice the holy way, it all depends on the emperor's heartfelt wishes. Only those who truly have the word "benevolence and righteousness" in their hearts can bring happiness to the people.  Only when you are qualified to become the common leader of the world can you make the people's scholars return to their hearts. Ask yourself, do you really have mercy? Look at the poor people in front of you. Is your compassion really genuine and not charity? " Li Tai is still unconvinced.  , said coldly: "If I were not emperor, I could solve their poverty once and for all!" Li Su shook his head: "No, you can't solve it. I know how you want to solve it. It's nothing more than raising troops to attack your neighbors, launching conquests, and conquering the vastness of foreign countries.  The land allows the people to plant more land and harvest more food, right?" Li Tai snorted and said, "What's wrong?" Li Su pointed at the surrounding villagers and sneered: "  So, the question is, look at these people, old, young, young and strong, almost all of them are dead. If you want to launch an army in the future, who will fight for you? Do you want these women, children and old people to go to the battlefield with swords?  "Li Tai said fiercely: "There are tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty. In a few years, when the children grow up, they will be able to fight for me. People will die when they grow up, right?  The young and strong will die on the battlefield, leaving a group of posthumous children to grow up in poverty and continue to fight for you and continue to die. Then, ask yourself, you just said that you can solve their poverty. According to your thinking, it is true.  Has it been solved? Year after year, generation after generation, the people will always be your charging pawns on the chessboard, endless generations" Li Su said, suddenly became angry, blushed and shouted: "  Do they owe you for generations? Do they deserve to fight for you and die for you? Who are you to let these innocent and poor people die for you?  And it¡¯s generation after generation!  How is your line of thinking different from that of a tyrant?  " Li Tai was startled. Seeing Li Su's angry look, Li Tai murmured his lips a few times, but finally did not dare to say anything. Li Su looked a little tired and sighed: "Your Highness, do you know that in last year's Eastern Expedition, our Datang suffered a total loss?  How many soldiers were lost?  " "Nearly one hundred thousand!  " "Do you know, Your Highness, how many households there are in the Tang Dynasty? How many are old people, women and children, and how many young people are there?  How many of their people are starving and freezing, how many of them have no food and no clothing to cover their bodies, how many fertile fields are deserted due to lack of people to cultivate them, how many villages have become old people's villages and widows' villages because their young men died in battle?  ¡± A series of questions made Li Tai dumbfounded and helpless.Word.  Li Su sighed: "You don't know anything. You just want to be the prince and the emperor." Li Tai was silent.  Li Su looked at him, smiled, and said, "Do you want to know how Li Zhi plans to solve the poverty of the people?" Li Tai raised his head and stared at him.  "Actually, Li Zhi of this village also knows about this. I told him about this last year. His first thought at that time was the same as that of the Jingyang County Magistrate, which was to donate food to the village every year, or to move the entire village's elderly, women, and children to another village.  Later, he discovered that this method could only cure the symptoms, not the root cause, because the poverty in the world does not stop at this one village. If he becomes emperor in the future, he must have a long-term and wise vision, a mind as broad as the sea, and love his people as he would his parents.  After the Eastern Expedition, Li Zhi felt that the Tang Dynasty would not be able to launch large-scale foreign conquests for at least ten years in the future. The main energy of the emperor and courtiers would be changed from conquering foreign countries to civil affairs and people's livelihood, encouraging business, reclaiming wasteland, reducing taxes, taxes, and corvee.  Promote births among the people, promote Zhenla rice seeds, etc" Li Su smiled and said: "Your Highness, this is the direction of Li Zhi's future governance. If he becomes emperor in the future, the main task of the court will be to vigorously develop people's livelihood and make the people happy.  Gradually get rid of poverty and do not seek to make everyone rich. At least the people of the Tang Dynasty will no longer suffer from hunger and cold. As long as they work hard, everyone will not be hungry. What Li Zhi wants to do is to provide the people with food and clothing.  Two words, if he can do this well during his reign, then his reputation in the history of the future will not be inferior to that of your father, or even better" Pointing to the children who were watching him curiously in the distance, Li Sutan  Said: "If these children were under Li Zhi's rule, they would not be recruited by the court as soldiers when they grow up, and they would no longer live a precarious life of fighting on the battlefield. They would only pick up farm tools, sing songs, and go to the ground.  Work here, exchange hard work for harvest, marry a mother-in-law and have a few sons, cultivate a few more acres of wasteland, harvest a few more buckets of grain, live in peace and joy until the day when your children and grandchildren are around your knees, and finally die and close your eyes without regrets.  Your Highness, this is the essential difference between you and Li Zhi. What you want in your heart is to continuously launch wars, conquer more lands, and use victory after victory to prove that you are stronger than your father. In the final analysis, you are trying to prove yourself.  And alive, you have forgotten that the people of the Tang Dynasty cannot withstand your torture. If you become the emperor, it will be a great disaster for the people of the world. However, Li Zhi has the image of a benevolent king, and he is unwilling to do so.  To be king and hegemon, he only wants to develop his internal affairs, recuperate, let his people live a good life, and realize the true prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It has been nearly twenty years since Zhenguan. During this period, there must be wars every year, and the civilian population has suffered huge losses in food.  What Li Zhi wants to do is to try his best to restore the vitality of the people, but you are going even worse" Li Su's eyes gradually became sharper as he stared at him: "So, you can't be the emperor. If you must be, I will do my best.  Oppose at all costs, not for Li Zhi, but for the common people." Li Tai's face was pale, but he tried his best to sneer: "Are you flaunting your greatness?" "I never think that I am great.  , If I don¡¯t do something when I clearly have the ability to do it, then I am committing a sin.¡± Li Su sighed and said, ¡°Go back to your palace. You should be reading the scriptures in your study and studying the sages.  The meaning of the scripture, whether you hang out in a brothel with the scholars, chanting to the wind and the moon, or you raise a cup to the moon in the courtyard and reminisce about your life, even if you cannot become a prince, you will be rich and noble throughout your life, and your children and grandchildren will have no worries about food and clothing. Your Highness,  You don't lack anything. Don't harm the people of the world just for your desire for power. The people are already suffering enough. They can't stand the torment anymore. Let them live.  " Li Tai lowered his head, his face changing constantly. After a long time, he raised his head and said to him: "What did you say today about going out to the city to hunt? In fact, you just deliberately brought me to see the miserable state of these people, and then told me these big principles?  Li Zizheng, my father has appointed Li Zhi as the crown prince. You have already won. What do I think? Is it still important to you?  What do you want from me?  " "I just want you to understand yourself correctly and resolve the unwillingness and hostility in your heart. Perhaps, I also want you to let go of your hatred and be your Prince of Peace with peace of mind. Don't do anything you regret in the future. More importantly, I want you to let go of your hatred.  The thing is, you and Li Zhi are brothers from the same father and mother. I want to preserve this family relationship for Li Zhi so that your brothers will not turn against each other and become enemies. At the same time, in order to keep you safe for the rest of your life and not be suspected by the new king, you  If you can't let go of your hatred, you will end up harming yourself. Do you understand me?  " Li Tai's face became paler, but he lowered his head deeply and said nothing. For a long time, Li Tai sighed as if he was exhausted, with a bit of bitterness and relief in his expression. "That's all, I have no hatred.  " Li Su smiled: "Success or failure is nothing, not in your position, not in your political affairs. If you are willing to let go of your ambitions, let go of your grievances, and look back at the world, there will be pleasant scenery everywhere, and the pain of life will turn into life.  There is so much joy in this life, Your Highness.?This is great wisdom.  " Li Tai looked forlorn and said sadly in a low voice: "I no longer hate him, will he hate me?  Will I really be able to grow old in peace and wealth in this life?  " Li Su said solemnly: "I will definitely do it, because I am still in the court.  " Li Tai looked at him hesitantly: "Li Su, we have been entangled with each other for many years. Strictly speaking, you and I are enemies, not friends. Why did you help me?  " Li Su smiled and said: "You regard me as an enemy, but I have never regarded you as an enemy. I said that we are friends.  ¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­ The group of people returned to Chang¡¯an City, and Hui Lie naturally gave up. Both Li Su and Li Tai knew that the so-called ¡°Hui Lie¡± today was simply an excuse, and Li Su¡¯s real purpose was to give Li  Tai went to class, and Xiao Zhi used reason and emotion in order to resolve Li Tai's hatred. When he returned to Chang'an City, Li Tai said goodbye to Li Su, his expression was still down, and it was obvious that he still had a grudge in his heart, but Li Su believed it.  It won't take long for him to figure it out. If he still can't figure it out, Li Su has done his best. Looking at Li Tai's lonely back, Li Su curled his lips. For some reason, looking at his back actually added a bit of poetry.  This fat man weighing more than 300 pounds is lonelier than fireworks In terms of size, maybe it's not just fireworks, but a salute. It was already nightfall when he returned to Taiping Village. Li Su went home to tease his daughter for a while, and then couldn't help but fall asleep.  I have traveled more than a hundred miles today. I am really exhausted. Of course, I have gained a lot. At least I have resolved an unforgettable hatred. I have to say that this feeling is quite good. I seem to have accumulated another one for myself.  The next morning, while Li Su was still sleeping, Xu Mingzhu appeared in front of his bed and pushed him cautiously. "Husband, please wake up" Li Su stretched out his hand without even opening his eyes.  He hugged Xu Mingzhu into his arms as she screamed, "Madam, did you wake me up to do some morning exercises as a couple?"  Come on, the flowers have to be cut when they bloom. Don¡¯t pity me because I am a delicate flower. Use your strength" "Husband, please stop making trouble!  Husband" Xu Mingzhu was ashamed and angry, and kept struggling. Li Su still closed her eyes, but held her hands tightly: "Madam, please don't move. Do you know what a sensible woman would do?  She will sit up without saying a word and move on her own" "Husband, if you have serious business, please stop making trouble and let your servants see it in broad daylight. Do you want me to become a human being?  "Xu Mingzhu said in embarrassment. Li Su finally opened his eyes: "It's so early in the morning, how can you do anything serious?  This moment should not be serious" Xu Mingzhu was so angry that she punched him and said, "A guest is coming!  I'm just waiting outside the door for my husband to see me.  " "Old Xue knows the tricks better than me. No matter what the guest is, any one who doesn't bring a gift will be ignored, and he will say that I'm going to get cold" As he spoke, Li Su's hands were not idle, just groping up and down. " Xu Mingzhu said on one side  Pushing away his clutches, he said: "I heard that there is only one guest from Japan. His name is Daozhao. He is a monk. My husband, you'd better meet him. Don't offend the Buddhist disciples. If you blame the Buddha, you will lose your fortune.  .  " Li Su's hand suddenly paused and his brows furrowed: "What is this guy doing here again?  After returning to Chang'an, I had already hinted to him tactfully. It would be better to miss each other when we see each other in the future" Xu Mingzhu asked curiously: "How did your husband hint so tactfully?  " "I said that except for your funeral, I don't want to see you in the future, get out.  " Xu Mingzhu: "" "Haha, just kidding, but this monk is not an ordinary Buddhist disciple. I could see it when I was in Silla. This guy is very good at causing trouble. He jumps up and down happily.  To be honest, I really don¡¯t want to see him, it¡¯s so annoying.  " "Husband, what do you mean, this monk is here to do bad things?  " Li Su smiled: "How dare he be 'unkind' in the Tang Dynasty?  He is clearly entering the dragon's pond and the tiger's den alone.  Xu Mingzhu said angrily: "What do you think of our family? How can it be like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?"  Don't talk nonsense. After all, the visitor is a guest. You'd better meet your husband. If you really don't like it, just say a few words and send him away.  " Li Su sighed and had to get up. Xu Mingzhu dressed him carefully. After dressing neatly, he called the maid to bring warm water. Li Su slowly brushed his teeth and washed his face. After tidying up, he walked out of the inner courtyard.  Reluctant to walk into the front hall, Li Su ordered his servants to invite the Japanese monk Dao Zhao in. Daozhao was very respectful when he walked into the front hall. He kept his head lowered and took careful steps. After taking off his wooden clogs in the corridor, he just walked in.  Wearing footwear, he went to the hall and without raising his head, he gave a long salute to Li Su: "Dao Zhao, a monk from the Great Harmony Kingdom, pays homage to Duke Li County of the Great Tang Dynasty.  ¡± Li Su said lightly.He shouted and did not return the greeting, but straightened up and looked behind Dao Zhao for a long time. After a long time, Li Su said displeasedly: "You came here empty-handed?" Dao Zhao was stunned: "Ah? This, no, can't be empty-handed?"  "Li Su said seriously: "Of course you can't go empty-handed. It's too rude. It will greatly affect the mood of the meeting between the guests and the host and destroy the friendly and harmonious atmosphere of the chat. Oh, it's too rude. Come and see off the guests. I forgive you this time.  Come back and get ready. Come back next time." Dao Zhao was dumbfounded and looked at Li Su in disbelief.  Even the monks had to be searched, the bottom line of the powerful people in the Tang Dynasty was really unfathomable Li Su left immediately and stood up. Now even the maids and servants standing outside the hall looked at him in disbelief. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out  I just learned an idiom the day before yesterday called "feeling ashamed", which should be how everyone feels at the moment.  Li Su doesn¡¯t feel ashamed at all. In this family, he is the king. The necessary qualities of a king are not only a dark heart, but also a thick skin.  After standing up and taking two steps, Li Su suddenly turned back and smiled like a spring breeze: "Oh, I'm joking with you. Don't take the eminent monk seriously. As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy. Are you happy?" Dao Zhao: "  " Li Su smiled, suddenly straightened his face, and said seriously: "But it is indeed rude to come to the door empty-handed. I won't make fun of you, so be careful next time." Dao Zhao: "  " "Is this Tang Dynasty dignitary suffering from schizophrenia?  What should I do if I feel so panicked?  I don¡¯t know what attitude I should use to chat with him After returning to the main seat and sitting down, Li Su said calmly: "Okay, the greetings are over, and the atmosphere between the guests and the host has gradually become harmonious." Dao Zhao: "  ¡± The random punch just now almost made him cry. Did Datang call this kind of chatting ¡°greetings¡±?  Still "gradually harmonious"?  Are the cultural differences between the two countries that big?
