Chapter 789: The so-called righteousness
Superior men have the ability but no temper, and inferior men have no ability and temper. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Su rarely gets angry, especially at home, a man with the ability will never bring his temper outside home, even if he wants to vent the resentment in his heart, any place is more suitable than at home.
But today, he couldn't help it, there was a fire burning in his heart, this fire naturally had nothing to do with Xu Mingzhu, but he had to vent, because it was uncomfortable, because the fire was about to burn him to death.
Xu Mingzhu was frightened and looked at Li Su blankly.
At this moment, Li Su in her eyes is very unfamiliar, she has never seen her husband angry, in her impression, her husband has always been gentle and polite, like a gentleman, always with a smile, never in a hurry, always calm and relaxed, no matter what danger and trouble, as long as you look at his calm face, you can inexplicably get a stable and calm force.
But today, he was so angry that she felt a sense of fear, even though she knew that it was not directed at her.
Li Su's heart was in turmoil, standing in the room waving his hands indiscriminately, his face flushed, very angry, very confused, but he didn't know how to express it.
"A living human life! died in front of everyone like this, what was it for? Does the prosperity of the family depend on the sacrifice of a woman? Why does everyone just admire her? Except for admiration, there is no different feeling, everyone thinks that she is great, she stabbed herself well, she should be stabbed, she has become a warrior like Jing Ke, but the person she killed is herself......"
Li Su talked for a long time as if he was crazy, and his expression suddenly surged with deep exhaustion, and his excitement gradually calmed down.
"Mingzhu, do you know, no one's sacrifice is taken for granted, except for the victim herself, she can feel that her death is necessary, noble, and can even face death calmly with a martyrdom-like attitude, she can think so, but others can't."
Xu Mingzhu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "What the husband means, the concubine understands, and the husband thinks Aunt Hou shouldn't do this?" ”
Li Su sighed: "Do you also think that her death is deserved?" ”
Xu Mingzhu hesitated for a long time and nodded: "It stands to reason that the concubine body should not be contrary to the husband's thoughts, but the husband's thoughts this time, the concubine body really can't understand it, and sacrifice herself for the prosperity of the whole clan, this is ...... Is there something wrong? Husband, you are in the court, high-ranking officials, but the concubine is also well aware of the risks of being an official in the court, no family and individual can have a smooth life, a lifetime is so long, there will always be a moment of crisis, when the husband's official rank rises higher and higher, the concubine has the same plan as Aunt Hou, if it really comes to the critical moment that determines the fate of the family, the concubine will also come forward and stab her heart......"
The more Li Su listened, the more uncomfortable he became, and the anger that had just calmed down in his heart showed signs of raising his head, and just about to ship the goods, Xu Mingzhu suddenly covered Li Su's mouth with one hand, and his expression was no longer as cowardly as usual, but full of perseverance.
"Husband, forgive the concubine for being rude, listen to the concubine first, otherwise if the husband gets angry, the concubine may not have the courage to speak again."
Li Su calmed down again and nodded: "You say, I'm not angry." ”
Xu Mingzhu thought for a while and said: "The husband is a compassionate person, and he behaves selfishly and greedy for money on weekdays, but the concubine is the husband's pillow person, and after getting along for a long time, I realized that the husband actually has a good heart, you value human life, value everyone's life, and the concubine body has thought about it for a long time and can't figure it out, what kind of knowledge did you learn when you were young, so you can have this kind of paranoia, it seems to ...... Alien to many of the world's ideas, human life is not unimportant, but just ...... It is not the most important, some things are more important than life, the concubine heard her father say, Kong said Chengren, Meng said righteousness, even the Buddha has the great compassion of cutting meat and feeding eagles, why does the husband disagree? ”
Li Su looked lonely and said, "Do you regard Aunt Hou's death as 'becoming benevolent and righteous'?" ”
Xu Mingzhu said softly: "The concubine understands what her husband means, but 'righteousness' has great righteousness and small righteousness, Aunt Hou is a woman, like the concubine, from birth to marriage and childbearing, she has never walked out of the house in her life, the Hou family in her eyes is her 'great righteousness', and she is willing to sacrifice her life for righteousness." ”
Li Su shook his head: "Only people who respect life are truly compassionate people, whether it is their own or someone else's, I understand Aunt Hou's approach, and I reluctantly agree that she is indeed for benevolence, but when I see the smiling faces of the Hou family after her death, I only feel a chill in my body, and then I am thinking, if she can be resurrected and see the bright smiling faces of the clansmen when they receive the order, will she still feel that her death is benevolent and righteous?" ”
Xu Mingzhu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to hang his head helplessly.
Li Su sighed: "Actually, I have forced myself to accept the rules and concepts of this era, although reluctantly, I am still trying to accept it, but until today, seeing Aunt Hou die so generously, I find that I still can't see through ......"
Xu Mingzhu gently pressed his shoulder and said quietly: "Husband, you might as well think about it, if Aunt Hou doesn't die, the Hou family can't look forward to the day when Dongshan will make a comeback, then what will happen to the Hou family?" has no power and no power, and there are so many enemies made back then, and the Hou family is full of only some women, children, old and weak, can they withstand the storm? Gritting his teeth and holding on for a year or two, what in the end? It is still inevitable that the ruin is withered, the clansmen are dead, scattered, these dead and scattered people, perhaps including Aunt Hou herself, are also dead, Aunt Hou used her own death in exchange for the re-rise of the family, in exchange for the stable life of the clan, which is stronger and weaker than the two? If you are a husband, how should you choose? ”
Li Su was silent, but there was a deep sadness in his heart.
Xu Mingzhu sighed: "Husband, your mind is too heavy, some things are predestined, such as Aunt Hou, presumably she also thought very clearly before making this decision, since the left and right are dead, why can't you choose the most valuable and dignified death for yourself?" She can see it thoroughly, why can't her husband? ”
"Husband, what you feel cold is the smile of the Hou family when they receive the order, the concubine doesn't know what 'human blood steamed buns' is, but the concubine knows that even if Aunt Hou comes back to life, she sees that the clansmen are not sad because of her death, but laughing, the concubine feels that Aunt Hou will not regret her decision, she killed herself in front of everyone, not for those people, but for the entire Hou family, she did her last effort for the Hou family, someone is naturally best for her to grieve for her, no one remembers her and she will not care, the husband often says' Responsibility', Aunt Hou is doing her duty, and she has done it, worthy of her heart, worthy of the ancestors of the Hou family, and that's it. ”
It was rare for Xu Mingzhu to say so many words, but Li Su became more and more silent.
The difference in values is a very subjective thing, no one can convince anyone, this is slowly formed and deeply rooted by everyone from childhood to adulthood, Li Su does not want to do the kind of thing that forcibly changes the values of others, ineffective and stupid, including his wife.
What he can do is stick to his own philosophy, disagree, and not compromise.
Hou Fangshi ended his life in a way that others thought was glorious, but Li Su still did not agree with this extreme way of sacrifice, perhaps, at the moment she was dying, even she felt that her death was holy.
"Originally, she didn't have to die," Li Su said to himself in distraction...... "I was in the Manna Hall at that time, and I was almost able to convince Your Majesty......"
Xu Mingzhu clenched his hand and comforted him softly: "Husband doesn't have to blame yourself, you have done enough for the Hou family, and Aunt Hou's death just made up for the 'little bit' that the husband failed to do......."
Li Su was silent for a long time, and suddenly fell on the bed.
"I'm going to sleep, this time, I'm going to sleep in the dark!"
Xu Mingzhu looked at him gently: "Husband, go to sleep, the concubine is doing embroidery work next to you and accompanying you." ”
Li Su snorted, his expression was still full of exhaustion, and he turned his head to look at her before he was about to fall asleep.
"Madam, with me here, I will never let our Li family go that far."
Xu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The husband is a big tree, the backbone, and the concubine is blessed." ”
Li Su said again: "If you take a step in the footsteps of the Hou family, Madame must not ......."
Xu Mingzhu seemed to know what Li Su was going to say, and suddenly interrupted him: "The concubine can't promise you, if it really comes to the time when the family is ruined, you should give up your life, you still have to let go of it, the family affairs, there is no reason for the husband to carry it alone, and the wife only enjoys happiness and not suffering." ”
Xu Mingzhu's expression was resolute and undoubted, Li Suding looked at it for a long time, sighed, and then became sleepy, and finally fell asleep.
Whether you accept it or not, things have happened after all, Li Su can't change it, he doesn't understand the thoughts and concepts of people in this era, and similarly, others can't understand him.
When you don't have the power to change the world, then you can do it alone.
Hou Fang's death gave Li Su a great shock, he used to think that he had completely integrated into this world, but now it seems that he has not fully integrated, at least some concepts in this world are not understood by him, and he does not want to go with the flow, so he will make a firework of different colors.
Tell yourself all the time that there is only one Li Su in the world, and you will always be the most special Li Su.
The Hou family is still doing funerals, and now the Hou family has finally returned to the circle of the powerful, and the funeral is naturally lively, the Hou family, who was cold when the door was in trouble, is now full of guests, and there is an endless stream, the original Chen Guogong mansion is back, the open space in front of the door is full of carriages, and the colleagues in the DPRK and China who do not see people when they are dilapidated have all magically come out this time, giving gifts, greetings, worshipping, wiping a handful of hypocritical tears in front of the spirit of the Hou Fang's family, the etiquette is thoughtful, and the attitude is kind, as if the best friends of life and death will not give up, When I was in trouble, I didn't see anyone because I was away on a business trip......
So, after Hou Fang's death, the Hou family once again experienced what it means to be hot and cold in the world and warm and cold in people.
Li Su didn't go to the Hou family again, but asked Xu Mingzhu to come forward to give a gift in the name of the Li family, after coming back, Xu Mingzhu's eyes were red, Li Su didn't know what was going on, but Xu Mingzhu said that she was very envious of the Hou Fang family, because the Hou Fang family had at least contributed to the family, but she was protected too well by Li Su, so that only Xiangfu was left, but she failed to take the responsibility of standing up in danger......
Li Su is about to go crazy, why when it comes to the prosperity of the family, everyone is in a posture of sacrificing their lives to be terrorist human bombers?
…………
The Hou family rose again, Anping Hou Liu Ping was sent to the prison of Dali Temple, all the family members were exiled, Liu Ping's scenery was like a meteor, leaving only a fast arc in the world, and then disappeared forever in the night.
It's in the past, but it's not completely over.
Li Su has one more thing to do, which is to deal with the aftermath.
Because the Hou family was re-supported and the Liu family was brought down, this incident left sequelae, and the most troublesome thing is that the relationship between Li Su and the eldest grandson Wuji is no longer very pleasant.
From beginning to end, the eldest grandson family has not expressed any attitude, Liu Ping was framed by Li Su in the past few days, it was when the city was full of turmoil, the eldest grandson family was inevitably affected, but the eldest grandson family has its own demeanor and style of the eldest grandson family, and the prime minister of a country is dignified, of course, he disdains to defend his innocence for these rumors, but the dirty water spilled by the people of Chang'an City can only grit his teeth and bear it, since he has chosen to be arrogant, he must pay the price of arrogance.
Outsiders look at the excitement, but insiders know very well that this matter was arranged by Li Su from beginning to end, although the matter has passed, but Li Su, the initiator, knows that the eldest grandson Wuji should be very dissatisfied with him.
It's reasonable to think about it, who would want to be calculated behind their backs, and have to bear so many accusations and abuses, and be wronged and embarrassed by others, the reputation of the eldest grandson's family has been greatly damaged because of this incident, and this loss cannot be made up for a year or two.
Li Su guessed that the eldest grandson Wuji at this time probably had the heart to kill him.
So, after the funeral of the Hou family was completed, Li Su packed several carts of gifts, personally boarded the door of the eldest grandson's house, and apologized to the eldest grandson Wuji.
Things are really not authentic, in Li Su's layout, the eldest grandson's family belongs to the lying gun, since it is really a loss, it is natural to make amends, even if he and the eldest grandson Wuji are destined to be enemies in the future, but the word "right or wrong", Li Su must face it head-on, and cannot avoid it.
…………
The door of the eldest grandson's house was closed, and the two rows of guards in front of the door were on duty, Li Su was weak-hearted, and he used to knock on the door directly, but this time he handed over the worship post first according to the rules, and then waited outside the door honestly and quietly.
It didn't take long for the eldest grandson Wuji's eldest son, the eldest grandson, to rush out of the door, and the two greeted each other after meeting.
Changsun Chong had a gentle smile on his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was a real smile or a fake smile, at least it made people look like they didn't feel bad.
The eldest grandson Chong was still holding Li Su's greeting post in his hand, and he bent his fingers and flicked it, looking at Li Su with an interesting face.
"Brother Zizhengxian, what's wrong today? Actually still pay tribute, in the past, you came to my house but rampage, and my father talked about the perfume workshop share, so loud that he almost lifted the roof, at that time, you were not so polite, like a bandit robbing the house, why did you suddenly change your temper today? ”
Saying that, the eldest grandson Chong lowered his head and glanced at the worship post, and smiled again: "It's a good hand to fly white, and I have already won the charm of the right army, this is a handwritten worship post written by Brother Zi Zhengxian, right?" ”
Li Su smiled: "Brother Chong, don't make fun of the younger brother, what, a few days ago, I accidentally collided with the eldest grandson and uncle, and I am here to apologize today......"
The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said: "Brother Xian has a heart, I have heard about it, my father is indeed a little angry, Brother Xian is very good, if you want to bring down the Marquis of Anping, say hello to my father first, how can the relationship between you and the eldest grandson's family be comparable to that of the Marquis of Anping?" Brother Xian didn't say a word to set up the game, my eldest grandson was caught off guard, and I was tripped up by you......"
