Li Sujie and others stood in the yard, looking at the lively Li Qinzai with wonderful expressions.
There was a storm in Chang'an City, saying that Li Qinzai was seriously injured after being stabbed, and he only had one breath left. Because of him, the court almost exploded, and the emperor wanted to avenge Li Qinzai at any cost, and he did not hesitate to launch the wrong war at the wrong time. .
As disciples of Li Qinzai, Li Sujie and others were grieved more deeply than others. After receiving the news, they rushed to the Duke's Mansion, but the Duke's Mansion refused to see outsiders. Li Sujie and the others could only wait outside the gate for a while. Finally left reluctantly.
Today, Butler Wu finally invited them back and told them that Li Qinzai wanted to see them. Li Sujie and others were originally full of grief, thinking that they were saying goodbye to their husband this time. They were already crying hard before they even entered the door.
As a result, as soon as he stepped into the backyard of Li's house, he saw Li Qinzai sitting in the yard. There was a charcoal stove in front of him. There were a few bamboo sticks on the charcoal stove and a few chicken wings strung on them. Li Qinzai was happily spreading chicken wings on them. Of course.
Qiao'er next to him had a greedy look on his face, and Hongbi's eyes were shining. Elite's saliva was flowing down the corner of his mouth. Regardless of whether it was hot or not, he reached out to grab the chicken wings that were not yet cooked on the charcoal stove, but was severely beaten by Li Qinzai. A slap on the back of the hand.
Hongbi's little mouth tightened and he cried loudly, while Qiao'er looked at him with a gloating look. Neither father nor son bothered to coax him, and continued to focus on the chicken wings.
Li Sujie and other disciples were dumbfounded. They looked at this scene of a loving father and a filial son. They carefully looked at Li Qinzai and saw that he was very skillful in flipping the roasted chicken wings, and his movements were vigorous and smooth.
How could he look like he was seriously injured and dying?
Where can I download the anti-fraud APP in Datang?
We are so sad for you that you are grilling chicken wings at home?
Li Sujie and others stared at him blankly for a long time. After a long time, Li Xian sighed bitterly: "I always feel that there is something fishy about the rumors that Mr. Sir was injured. It seems that it is not my imagination..."
Li Sujie also sighed: "I thought today was the last time I would see my husband, but I didn't expect... why would you even hide it from us?"
The two princesses Xuancheng and Yiyang did not speak, but their red eyes shone with resentment, and their silent accusations still made people feel guilty.
Li Qinzai has no guilt at all. Do I need to beat gongs and drums to publicize my plans for the country?
"That's right, I'm just pretending. Who approves and who opposes?" Li Qinzai threw an eye dart at everyone, with a strong threat.
Everyone bowed obediently: "Disciples don't dare."
"Keep your mouth shut, don't cause trouble with the Tibetan envoys, and don't spoil my big event. If you fall short of the mark when it's almost over, it won't be a matter of a few whips."
If Li Sujie realized something, he whispered: "My father decreed that Su Dingfang be appointed as the general manager of the Jiannan Road march. The court was in an uproar, and the market was talking endlessly. Could it be that all of this is..."
Li Qinzai said simply and cheerfully: "Yes, it's all fake. Your father is just pretending. Su Dingfang's position as the marching general is fake. The so-called angry and angry petitions among the people to conquer Tibet were also instigated by thoughtful people..."
Li Sujie was shocked: "Everything is sir's plan? So, the target is... Tubo?"
"That's right, it's all a strategy, an advanced strategy that can be fought without bloodshed."
"What's the purpose of this plan?"
"The Tang Dynasty wanted to take a piece of land. That piece of land was very important, but Tubo was unwilling to give it to him, so he thought of a cunning way to get it."
Everyone was still confused. Li Sujie thought for a long time and said, "This disciple is stupid and still doesn't understand. What does this have to do with Mr. pretending to be injured?"
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "Let's put it this way, for example, I want to go to the Yitang to have a meal, but I find that I have no money in my pocket, but I am very hungry. What should I do?"
"So after I entered the post hall, I convulsed all over and fell down with foam at the mouth. The owner of the post hall was frightened. His first reaction was to explain to other diners that this matter had nothing to do with the post hall."
"But explanations are useless. Who told me to collapse in the post hall? The shopkeeper couldn't do anything. Once I fell, his post hall couldn't be opened anymore, so the shopkeeper asked me how I could recover. As usual, I said, please let me have a meal and forget about it, and the shopkeeper agreed without saying a word."
After Li Qinzai finished speaking, he spread his hands and said, "That's probably what happened. I am the liar who is just trying to make ends meet. If Zan Xi is the shopkeeper, his post hall is in Tubo."
Everyone suddenly realized that Li Sujie was about to speak but stopped.
Li Qinzai glanced at him and said, "Are you trying to say that my method is despicable?"
"Disciples don't dare."
Li Qinzai said slowly: "I will teach you another lesson. Fighting between countries does not require dignity, shame, and morality. Those are just slogans shouted for outsiders. Outsiders can take them seriously, but thousands of people shout these slogans. Don’t get too caught up in the drama.”
"In fact, there are only interests and pros and cons between countries. Planning and fighting only depend on the final result. It is normal for the process to be despicable and morally corrupt. For the benefit of the country, we can throw away any moral bottom line."
"King Gou Jian of Yue was willing to endure hardships. In order to restore his country, he even tasted excrement and asked for medical advice. Do you think there is any bottom line that cannot be exceeded?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Li Qinzai's words simply shattered their outlook.
I grew up reading the books of sages. The principles in them are all about how magnanimous and righteous a gentleman should be, how a monarch should have a great personality, and how a minister should be loyal and wise.
But no one has ever told them the truth about the struggle between countries with such words that completely subvert the teachings of the sages.
It turns out that the so-called sages only exist in books, but in reality people's practices are completely opposite. What's ridiculous is that people do things that are contrary to the principles of the sages, but they all raise their arms and shout the slogans of the sages' truth.
Is this... the world of adults?
So dark.
Seeing that everyone was stunned and silent, Li Qinzai smiled: "There is a philosopher who said, 'The most valuable thing about people is that after seeing through the essence of life, they still love life.'"
"You think it's dark because your experience and knowledge are not deep enough and you don't see far enough. Yes, the world is dark, and the nature of this darkness has not changed until more than a thousand years later."
"But if you read more, see more of every corner of the world, and observe people's hearts more, when you get higher and higher, you will see farther. When you reach a high enough height, you can break through the gloomy clouds. What you see above is a dazzling golden light."
"Light is the power used to break through darkness. This power is sealed in everyone's heart."
As soon as Li Qinzai finished speaking, he immediately raised a bunch of grilled chicken wings and handed it to Li Sujie.
Li Sujie was flattered and took it with both hands respectfully: "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome. I was busy talking just now and the chicken wings were burnt. You can eat them."
