For anyone, being co-opted by the future prince is a good opportunity, and people with a little ambition are usually ecstatic, even if they are indifferent to fame and fortune, they will at least secretly feel happy, after all, it is worth rejoicing for everyone to be sure of their own worth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Su didn't feel happy, he even felt that he was in trouble again.

A few years ago, when Li Tai, the king of Wei at that time, was still trying to form a party, cultivate contacts in the court, and compete for favor with the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Tai paid attention to Li Su.

There is an unprovoked addition of Li Su to the court, and he can't position him. Fundamentally speaking, Li Su is not a child of a family, a simple farmer, this can be called a "wonderful" teenager, what he thinks is very different from others, often have whimsical ideas, and a person unconsciously drums up a lot of novelties, there are poetry and literature, there is also a talent for governing the country and the country, a very strange person, there is no teacher, and I don't know where he learned his whimsical ideas, relying on these whimsical ideas, Li Su gradually got Li Shimin's dependence, just a few years, All the way to the official fortune, smooth sailing, is still deeply valued by the Manchu monarchs and ministers.

After meeting Li Su at the beginning, Li Tai has always been a little jealous of him in his heart, to be precise, it should be jealous.

It's better than him to write poems, better than him to write articles, better than him to do errands, especially the ability to adapt to emergencies is outstanding, and now Li Tai knows that Li Su's IQ is also higher than himself.

Everything is not as good as people, Li Tai has the heart to kill him, but this person is a red man in the eyes of his father, and he is scheming, Li Tai knows the process of overthrowing the prince at the beginning, so he knows how terrible this enemy will be if he wants to be an enemy of Li Su, in the past, Li Su was an extremely powerful character when he fought alone, not to mention that now he has recognized his relatives, his uncle Li Ji has become his biggest backer, unconsciously, Li Su has become a behemoth in Chang'an City, except for today's son, No one could easily shake him.

This is the reason why Li Tai personally came to the door today to win over Li Su.

If you don't want to be an enemy with him, then you will do everything you can to become friends, think about it carefully, from knowing Li Su to the present, although Li Tai and him have had a little friction, and there have been times when they have been defensive and calculating each other, but everyone also has the past of being allies of each other, in general, there is barely one or two points of friendship between the two, and with this two points of friendship, and then with the identity of the future prince of the East Palace without suspense, Li Tai has the confidence to come to the door.

A person with normal thinking and IQ, but who is not too stupid, should know how to stand in line in front of the only Tang prince in the future.

It's a pity that Li Tai met an abnormal person today.

Li Tai's biggest reliance is nothing in Li Su's eyes.

This is the superiority of predicting history, Li Su knows very well that after Li Chengqian was deposed, Li Shimin's princes have begun to fight very fiercely in order to compete for that position, and he also knows very well that in the eyes of everyone, the biggest winner is none other than Li Tai, the king of Wei, and now many courtiers have stood in the camp of the king of Wei without any worries, because there is no suspense, the king of Wei must be the next prince of the East Palace.

However, Li Su also knows some things that no one knows, such as...... In this battle for the East Palace, the final winner broke a huge upset, and the winner was not Li Tai, but another.

So Li Su can't stand in line, as early as when Li Chengqian was still the prince, Li Su had already stood in line, what he has to do now is to help the guy who seems to be a mess of mud to the wall, and at the same time help him clear all obstacles, help him fight his way out of the danger surrounded by wolves, and let him go straight to the most noble position in the world, facing the north and facing the south.

If you refuse, you can't say it too hard, a mature man will never say it too directly, offending a person is much more serious than making one more friend, Li Su doesn't want to make enemies anymore, whether it's difficult for him to sleep and calculate others, or others are worried about himself, the taste is not good, and this taste Li Su has tasted, in order to bring down Li Chengqian in the past few years, and in order to beware of Li Chengqian's calculations, Li Su has lived too hard, and finally pushed Li Chengqian off the stage, Li Su does not want to be remembered by another enemy.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Su suddenly smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Wei, I really don't understand, everyone in the world knows that you King Wei is a knowledgeable person, and he made a grand wish to become a generation of Confucians as early as a child, but now why are you no longer obsessed with the books of sages and sages, but want to seek the position of the prince of the East Palace?" ”

Li Tai smiled: "Is there a conflict between the Great Confucian and the Prince?" Why can't I be a prince full of righteousness? I can sit and discuss with the Confucian scholars in the world, and I can govern the country and the country with the pillars of the DPRK and China, so why should I choose between the two? ”

Li Su sighed: "Your Highness, with all due respect, in my eyes, you are suitable to be a scholar, such as coming to the door today, just to solve a problem, that persistent appearance is very cute, I like to talk to you just now, because you just now, your eyes are very clean and clear, except for the truth of the world, there is nothing else in the world that can make your eyes ripple, but now you are full of desire for power. Hope, you're not cute at all......"

Li Tai was stunned, he didn't expect to wait for Li Su's answer, but these words made him feel ashamed in his heart in an instant, ashamed of the truth of academics and sages, as if he wanted to be a prince and became a traitor to the truth.

Of course, shame is only for a moment.

The most touching people in the world, power, wealth and beauty, it can be said that they are the original sins of human beings, and the truth of the sages cannot overcome the desire for power.

Li Tai really wants to be a great Confucian who will go down in history, but he wants to be an emperor who holds the sun and the moon in his hands and rules life and death.

After being silent for a long time, Li Tai slowly asked: "Brother Zizheng, if you were me, would you rather be a great Confucian or a prince?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "I don't want to, whether it is a Confucian or a prince, it is very tiring to be a great Confucian, to read, to preach, to talk about the Tao, the prince to kowtow, to fight, to check and balance, these two kinds of people live day and night in the hard work and darkness, people in this life is short and hurried, like a white horse passing through the gap, famous for a lifetime, illustrious for a lifetime, after death is still lying only three feet of loess, why should I find so many things for myself?" If I want to choose, I will choose to be a lazy man, eat, sleep and sleep, count the days, the days of gangsters, a day passes, a year passes, a lifetime passes, and when I am old, I lie in the coffin, and my children and grandchildren are sincere or false, kneeling in front of my grave and wailing twice, this life can be regarded as an explanation for myself. ”

Li Tai was stunned, let out a long breath for a long time, and sighed: "Brother Zizheng is the only open-minded and indifferent person Tai has seen in this life, but it's a pity that you have bottomless skills......"

Li Su said lightly: "Oh, don't worry about my skills, if you have the opportunity to use it, I'll take one or two things out to brush up on my sense of existence, if I don't have a chance or am not in the mood, I plan to bring my skills into the coffin, I don't plan to write a book, and I don't want to leave it to my children and grandchildren." ”

Li Tai was silent again, he hung his head and didn't know what to think, after a long time, he looked up at him, and suddenly smiled: "I finally heard it, Brother Zizheng doesn't want to join me, right?" ”

Li Su smiled, it is undeniable that the guy in front of him is as fat as a pig, but he is extremely smart, and he has always been easy to talk to smart people, and he is happy.

didn't answer Li Tai's question, Li Su was very kind, he didn't want to stimulate the fat man's fragile heart.

Silence is acquiescence, Li Tai's expression was a little puzzled, and a little angry, his two fleshy hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his voice was a little angry, and said: "Tai just wants to ask, why?" Because I don't deserve your help? ”

Li Su smiled and shook his head.

"It's because you and I had a little holiday back then, and you're afraid that I will hold a grudge? Although Tai is not as open-minded as his father, you can't help but underestimate my strength! ”

Li Su still shook his head.

He believes that Li Tai is telling the truth, the small festival between him and Li Tai is actually not a big deal, Li Tai is not a good person like him, but he can't be said to be a bad person, and his mind is indeed not small, otherwise the two of them can fight to the death when they have a festival.

"Do you think I'm a dull and narrow-minded person who doesn't deserve your help?" Li Tai asked reluctantly.

Li Su shook his head and sighed.

"What is it for?" Li Tai gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Li Su sighed: "Your Highness, everything is rooted in the roots, it has fallen into the cliché, leaving aside their respective identities, you and I are barely friends, and I hope to continue to be friends with Your Highness in the future, and meet in my spare time to hunt and drink and visit the Qinglou, even if it is a friend of wine and meat, it has some fun, but I only don't want you and me to have a friendship mixed with temple and mundane things, this kind of friend is the most unwilling to make in my life, seriously, this is no longer a friend." ”

Li Tai said coldly: "This is the reason? ”

Li Su smiled: "There is another reason. ”

"I'm listening."

"I'm smarter than you."

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "What is the reason for this!" Are you humiliating me? ”

"It's not humiliating, today you keep saying that you are convinced by the fact that I am smarter than you, at this moment, I also believe that you are indeed convinced, but in the future, if you become the prince, will you still be convinced of me? Do you really think that I am indeed smarter than you, and humbly treat me as a countryman? Li Su's smile gradually narrowed, and his eyes showed a little coldness: "The person you have been proud of all your life is your intelligence, and now there is someone stronger than you, are you really convinced?" Ask yourself, don't you have the slightest intention of getting rid of me? ”

Li Tai said with a gloomy face: "If you don't vote for me today, I will be the crown prince in the future, and then I will ascend the throne, and you will still have to be my courtier, then you are not afraid that I will be jealous of your cleverness and kill you?" ”

Li Su smiled as brightly as the sun: "If there really is that day, you will be surprised to find that I suddenly became stupid, and I became stupid. ”

Li Tai stared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Do you think I will believe it?" ”

Li Su shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, being an emperor is not like being a prince, you can't rely on your own willfulness to like and dislike, what about me, I am a well-known person with no ambition and no desire for power, but I am still very smart, very good at doing things, there is no threat to the heavenly family, it is beneficial and harmless to the governance of the country and the country, if you are the emperor, even if you hate me again, are you willing to kill me?" For example, Wei Zheng Wei, how many times did your father want to kill him, but he still lived well, jumping up and down in the court every day, pointing at your father's nose and scolding him when he had nothing to do, and your father was still helpless with him. Think about it, why didn't your father kill him? ”

Li Tai understood what he meant, and sighed long: "Because Wei Zheng is of great use to the state, or in other words, my father regarded him as a benchmark for a wide range of good advice, to flaunt the emperor's mind. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "When you become the emperor, you will know that the emperor will never kill people because of personal vendettas, even if you hate me so much, as long as I am still useful to Datang, as long as I still have the ability to contribute, you will definitely not be able to do anything to me, and even have to grit your teeth to promote me to the rank of knight, because I deserve it." ”

Lowering his head, Li Su looked at his white and flawless hands, and said in a light tone: "What's more, although I am indifferent, I am not a person who can be killed, if you want to get rid of me, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”

Li Tai was startled, looked at Li Su's unfazed face, as if he understood something, and nodded slowly.

"Today, Tailai has Meng Lang." Li Tai finally gave up wooing, he already understood that Li Su could not join his camp, although Li Su said a lot of plausible reasons, but Li Tai still had doubts in his heart, he felt that Li Su was unwilling to vote for him There were other reasons, and the unspoken reason was probably the real reason.

In any case, Li Tai's reason told him that this conversation could not continue, and if it continued, the two might have conflicts today, although Li Tai hated him so much, but he didn't want to offend Li Su such an enemy, because he had seen with his own eyes how ruthless Li Su's methods were to the enemy, Li Chengqian was forced to rebel, and was finally brought down, it can be said that all this is the result of Li Su's secret plot behind his back, such an enemy is very terrible.

Li Su also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly smiled: "No Meng Lang, no Meng Lang, for the sake of the face of the three thousand guan, how many times has His Royal Highness been full of splendor......

Li Tai smiled bitterly: "Mo Ti this matter, Tai has been studying for many years, and he thinks he knows everything, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when I spent money to buy learning, which is really a shame for my life......"

Li Suzheng said: "Live to be old, learn to be old, there is no shame in spending money to buy knowledge, learning and money are not equal, I will convert such profound knowledge into money and sell it to you, to be honest, I lost a lot." ”

Li Tai squinted at him: "I have a cheap and obedient person, and Brother Zizheng is the only one I have seen in this life." ”

The words that should be talked about were almost over, and Li Tai sat down for a moment before getting up to leave.

The mood when I left was very complicated, there were gains and disappointments when I came to the door today, and I gained not only the answer to the difficult question, but also the real thoughts of Li Su, although the reason is still not clear, but Li Tai is not in a hurry, under the mentality of becoming the prince of the East Palace, Li Tai's personality has also changed slightly, anyone who defects to himself or rejects himself, Li Tai does not report too obvious joy and sorrow, no matter what the current situation, when he really becomes the prince, everyone will surrender to his feet, this is his confidence.

Li Su personally sent Li Tai out of the gate.

There were more than a dozen Wei Wangfu attendants standing outside the door, all with blue noses and swollen faces, obviously beaten by the Li family's subordinates, standing in a row with an angry face, and confronting Fang Lao Wu and the others, Fang Lao Wu and others squatted on the stone steps at the door, smiling at them without skin and face, and seeing the two of them walking out of the door, everyone hurriedly got up and lined up to salute.

Seeing his entourage being beaten into such a miserable appearance, Li Tai's expression froze, and he glanced at Li Su dissatisfiedly.

Li Su hurriedly said: "Bearing, Your Highness, bearing, don't forget, this matter has already been revealed, but it can't be counted as an old account." ”

The fat cheeks twitched a few times, Li Tai snorted heavily, slowly walked towards the carriage under the escort of the entourage, took two steps and suddenly turned to look at Li Su, and said with a forced smile: "Tai has benefited a lot today, no matter what, I still want to thank Brother Guozi for solving his doubts, and finally be able to sleep peacefully when I go back, fortunately, there is only one tricky problem in the world, haha......"

Li Su looked at him coldly, well, he understood Li Tai's mood very well, but he was actually a little unconvinced, so he deliberately emphasized that "there is only one problem" before leaving......

Understanding is understanding, but Li Tai's laughter still feels annoying in his ears.

Li Tai's laughter continued, and Li Su suddenly said: "There is a person in charge of a large pool, there are two pipes on the east and west sides of this pool, one pipe fills the pool, three hours can fill the pool, the other pipe can release water out, four hours can empty the pool, may I ask Your Highness, if two pipes are filled with water at the same time, how many hours can the pool be filled?" ”

"Hahaha...... Ga! Li Tai was like a little rooster who was suddenly choked by the neck, his laughter stopped immediately, he was choked suddenly, he bent over and coughed violently, coughing so red that his face was red, his heart was torn, and his white and chubby face was flushed.

Finally stopped coughing, Li Tai's eyes widened, clumsily folded his fingers and counted for a long time, and finally raised his fleshy fingers, pointed at Li Su tremblingly, and looked sad and indignant: "You, you ......"

Li Su smiled and said: "Your Highness will go back and calculate it carefully, it is still the old price, three thousand yuan, send it to Your Highness." ”

"Back to the city! Quick, get in the car! Li Tai turned around angrily and left.

The carriage was getting farther and farther away, and Li Su was still standing at the door with a smile on his face, watching the carriage leave.

It's so cool! Not only is he in a good mood, but if there is no accident, in a few days, the family will have another income, three thousand yuan, not too big or too small is also a windfall, God forced him to send it, he didn't dare not send it.

What's even more gratifying is that Li Su still has a lot of perverted problems like this, in addition to the crazy pool administrator, there are also the carriage drivers who work hard and never delay at a uniform speed, as well as the clear division of labor and tacit cooperation, the conscience of the industry, and the perverted old farmer who has to put the hen and rabbit into a cage to count the feet......

If each question sells for 3,000 yuan, it will not only bankrupt the Wei Wangfu, but also force the dead fat man who has nothing to do and is blind to doubt his life from now on......

…………

…………

King Wei's carriage had disappeared on the country road, Li Su turned around and looked at Fang Lao Wu and the others, seeing that everyone looked a little worried, Li Su couldn't help but smile and said: "I beat people up just now, and it must be like this in the future, the Li family does not allow anyone to go wild, and you must abide by the rules of the guests when you enter the door, and if you are rude, you will find death." ”

Hearing that Li Su had determined the nature of the brawl just now, everyone was relieved and saluted one after another.

Li Su continued: "Fifth Uncle Fang will wait to go to the account room to pay the money, and the brothers who will do it today will each be rewarded with a hundred Wen, and they will be rewarded with a good job, whether they drink wine or eat meat, or go to Chang'an Qinglou to find a girl, whatever you want." ”

Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to thank them.

Turning his head to look at Fang Lao Wu, Li Su smiled again: "Fifth Uncle's happy event is coming, right?" ”

All the trilogies burst out laughing, Fang Lao Wu scratched his head and nodded embarrassedly.

"Or the two widows? It's two, right? There are no more people in these days, right? ”

Everyone laughed even louder, Fang Lao Wu's face turned red, he turned his head and glared at the subordinates viciously, and then scratched his head and said: "It's still those two, one in Taiping Village, and one in Niutou Village, the Hou Ye said last time that since he couldn't choose, he simply married both, and the villain did it honestly, and said that he would hire him next month......

Li Su nodded: "Okay, go back to the fifth uncle to go to the account room to pay twenty yuan, the brothers in the family will take a hand, just draw a piece of land for you next to our house, build a big house, twenty yuan lunch is your dowry, the new family needs food and clothing, Mrs. Hui will help you do it, you just have to rest assured to enter the cave room." ”

Fang Lao Wu hurriedly thanked him with a red face.

Looking at the envious subordinates around him, Li Su scolded with a smile: "What are your eyes red for? It is his ability for the fifth uncle to marry two mothers-in-law, and today I will put down the words, if any of you want to marry, as long as you say that you have set up a family, everyone in the house will build a new house, plus ten dowry money, who has the ability to marry two like the fifth uncle, give twenty! In the future, if you have children, the government will open a kindergarten, and send them to read and write, our family has good feng shui, maybe you can produce a few champions, and then you will be glorious and glorious to your ancestors, and this life will be bloody on the battlefield, and countless encounters will be rolled in the pile of dead people, and it will be regarded as a good end for your children and grandchildren. ”

When all the tribes heard this, their eyes were hot, and this time they didn't coax again, but bowed down one after another, and said in unison: "I am willing to die for the Hou Ye!" ”

"They are all brothers who have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy together, don't say these meaty words, when the business is finished, get out!" Li Su scolded with a smile, turned around and entered the door.

How many people behind him looked at their backs in awe and gratitude, Li Su didn't bother to pay attention, and sincerely gave a favor, and people's hearts quickly condensed, if there is anyone in this world who is the most important to Li Su in addition to relatives and friends, then it is the one hundred and ten parts of the family, they are the foundation of their own world, their second life, and they should give as much favor as they want.
