Li Yuan listened carefully to Qin Ming's story and sighed silently in his heart.
【What a silly boy! After doing this for a long time, you don’t even know who almost killed you! 】
【It’s so stupid! Fortunately, I'm here, otherwise you would have suffered a lot! 】
Thinking this in his heart, Li Yuan showed an angry expression on his face. He slapped the coffee table hard and said loudly:
"It's really the opposite. Does this world belong to my Li family or his eldest grandson's family?"
Qin Ming slapped his forehead when he heard this, pulled Li Yuan's sleeve and whispered:
"Grandpa, please lower your voice, don't dare to say such nonsense!"
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"What? After all, I am from the Li family in Longxi and belong to the royal family. Why can't I say that?"
Qin Ming thought about it, and it was indeed true. In order to prevent Li Yuan from worrying, Qin Ming still said sincerely:
"Grandpa, please calm down. Sun Shangshu didn't know about this, and he also came to apologize. Let's just forget about it."
When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately put on a look of regret for his misfortune and anger, and said:
"My dear grandson, you are still too young. Do you really think this matter will just go away? Who is his eldest grandson Wuji? He is the uncle of the current dynasty and the biggest contributor to the palace change!"
Qin Ming glanced at Li Yuan helplessly after hearing this.
[Grandpa, you are always so brave! You dare to talk about the changes in Xuanwu Gate! What a tough guy! If you were not my grandfather, I would even want to call you an old iron! 】
Li Yuan ignored Qin Ming's expression, looked at Qin Ming seriously and said:
"Changsun Wuji personally came to apologize to a little-known junior like you. Grandson, do you really think that Changsun Wuji can swallow this?"
Qin Ming's expression became solemn when he heard this. At this moment, he had to admire the old man's wisdom.
Changsun Wuji is really not a broad-minded man. Hasn't he been secretly stumbling upon himself in the past two days?
However, Qin Ming looked confused and said:
"The eldest grandson, Shangshu, seems to be quite kind. He shouldn't be the kind of person you say your grandfather is, right?"
Li Yuan shook his head and said:
"Brother Ming, you are just too young and too kind, and you think of others as good people."
"Based on my many years of experience, Changsun Wuji is a smiling tiger. He is a typical person who does one thing in front of you and another behind the scenes. He will definitely make things difficult for you in the future!"
After hearing this, Qin Ming stopped pretending and asked respectfully:
"Then from your perspective, grandfather, what will happen to your grandson?"
When Li Yuan heard this, he finally smiled with satisfaction.
He stroked his long gray beard and glanced at the empty tea cup on the coffee table.
Qin Ming understood, and Li Yuan, who was very stupid, poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old man with both hands.
Li Yuan took the tea cup, took a sip and said:
"Brother Ming, have you ever wondered why the second son of the Changsun family dared to find someone to assassinate you regardless of your identity as a man from Lantian County?"
"Have you ever wondered why the second son of the eldest son's family dare not retaliate against the young man from the Lu family?"
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"Because the status of Duke Lu is the same as that of the eldest grandson, Shangshu, while my status is low."
Li Yuan nodded when he heard this and said:
"You're half right."
"half?"
"Well, because your understanding is wrong. In the eyes of nobles, the level of a title is not a criterion for measuring whether a person can offend someone.
It depends on whether a person has real power in the court or the military.
Whether it is the second son of the Changsun family or Changsun Wuji, the reason why they despise you is because you have no real power in the court. "
"A person without any real power will be offended if he is offended. But if you have real power, it is different. No one will offend you easily."
"Take me as an example. When I was the master of the house, all the retainers and guests in the house who saw me were not trembling with fear and serving me cautiously."
"But what about now? Since I was ousted by that unfilial son, apart from those loyal old people in the house, how many people will look at me seriously?"
Speaking of this, Li Yuan seemed to have thought of something. He slapped the table and gritted his teeth and said:
"Hmph, even many people who used to be my dogs now dare to bare their teeth at me!"
At this point, Li Yuan was really angry, and Qin Ming saw Li Yuan's chest rising and falling violently.
He couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and put it on Li Yuan's back to help him calm down.
"Grandpa, please calm down and don't let your anger break down because of those little people."
A few moments,
Li Yuan's mood stabilized a little, and then he said to Qin Ming:
"Brother Ming, do you understand what grandfather said?"
Qin Ming was thoughtful when he heard the words. Li Yuan's words reminded him of a person, Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history.
According to film and television records, after the death of Wu Meiniang's father, the warrior Xun, the title of Duke Ying was inherited by her brother.
However, because her brother had no title and no official status, he lost all his family property a few years after the death of the warrior Xun. This is how Wu Meiniang entered the palace later.
It was also because of this that the later Ying Guogong Wu Yuanqing was looked down upon by the people in Chang'an City.
A dignified Duke would be looked down upon without an official position, not to mention that he was just a small county boy now.
Li Yuan's words made Qin Ming suddenly enlightened.
I really can't continue to hang out like this, otherwise I will either be tricked to death one day, or I will die together with those people.
The former is too passive, while the latter is too enjoyable.
But after he killed those people with explosives, he could only run away with his whole family.
The path his grandfather pointed out to him was completely consistent with the path he had taken on his own last night.
Instead of taking the first two paths, it would be better to take my grandfather's path.
Let's have a good fight with people like Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui to see who is more powerful as a "traveler", or these old gangsters.
Qin Ming's eyes gradually became firm as he thought about this. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Yuan:
"My grandson, you know what to do, thank you grandfather for your teaching!"
As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was such a shrewd person.
When he saw the change in Qin Ming's eyes, he knew that the purpose of his trip had been achieved!
In fact, Li Yuan came to Qin Ming with three purposes.
First, I wanted to personally take care of my pleasant-looking and filial junior to prevent him from being tricked again.
Secondly, although Li Yuan always talks about being an unfilial son, his heart is still towards that unfilial son.
After hearing about what happened in the court, he was the only person in the world who knew both Li Er and Qin Ming well.
After just a brief thought, I figured out the crux of it.
Then he made a personal trip to tie Qin Ming to Li Er's chariot.
Thirdly, after he returned to the palace, he always felt that life in the palace was not as comfortable and happy as in the Qin mansion. I wanted to take this opportunity to experience life in Qin Mansion.
It would be best if he could stay in Qin Mansion for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan smiled and stroked his long beard and said:
"That's good, that's good!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the study door, and Xiao Qingwan walked in, swinging her ponytail.
He saluted the two of them and said:
"Sir, sir, lunch is ready."
