Chapter 204: Words of the Heart
The woman in red sat opposite Xia Hongsheng, watching Xia Hongsheng gobble up all the food, and then signaled the maid next to her to remove the plate, clean up the table, and got up to make a cup of tea for Xia Hongsheng and put it in front of Xia Hongsheng.
"This tea is not brewed like this, you need to warm the cup of hot pot first, and you should also pay attention to a high brew and low brew when brewing. To brew tea, you need to lift the kettle high, and the water is bet from the high point, so that the tea leaves roll in the pot and spread out to brew the tea flavor more fully. When brewing, the distance between the spout and the tea cup should be low, so as not to dissipate the aroma in the tea soup. Then you can see its color, smell its fragrance, and taste its taste. Xia Hongsheng took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then said to the woman in red: "Tea is good tea." ”
The woman in red was not annoyed by Xia Hongsheng's picking, Ying Ying smiled and nodded: "The concubine has been taught, Xia Gongzi is worthy of being a famous man in Chang'an, and this tea brewing method is also known so clearly." ”
"Because this new tea is brewed by me, the method of roasting tea and brewing is all made by me, so I naturally know. At the beginning, the family was extremely poor, with no food to eat and no clothes to wear, so they sold it to Mingxiangju to beg for food. Xia Hongsheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, it's useless, since I have eaten your things, and let's listen to it, what do you want me to do for you?" ”
The woman in red listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, so she sat upright, knelt on the mat opposite the desk, and asked Xia Hongsheng: "Xia Gongzi doesn't know what to say about today's trend?" ”
Xia Hongsheng laughed when he heard it, if these words were more than ten years ago, when they were in the troubled times of the former Sui Dynasty, it would not be a big problem, but at the moment, it would be too ridiculous. So Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "The trend of the world...... Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. Over the weekend, the Seven Kingdoms divided and merged into Yuqin. and after the destruction of Qin. Chu and Han divided and merged into Han. The Han Dynasty revolted from Gaozu beheading the white snake and dominated the world, and later flourished in Guangwu. It was passed to Emperor Xian, and then it was divided into three kingdoms...... Uh, girl, have you heard of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? ”
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" The woman in red was stunned, obviously she hadn't heard of it. Then he muttered: "If you divide for a long time, you will be together, and you will be separated for a long time...... The son is really talented, and the trend of the world is nothing more than a combination of points and a combination, and between the divisions and combinations, there is the world. That son thinks that in today's world, is it a union or a division? ”
Girl, it's a loss that you weren't born to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty! Xia Hongsheng looked at the appearance of the woman in red, and his heart was happy. I couldn't help but give myself a thumbs up, okay, this comparison can be given ten points.
"The gentleman is not righteous, but the villain is, and when he says this, the girl may feel that she is a villain. But whether the world is divided or united, it is really nothing more than the word 'profit'. The so-called dividends have dividends, there are synergistic benefits, and if the dividends are large, people will divide their minds. If the benefits are great, people will have the same mind. This has been the case throughout the ages. The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the governance of the country and the people is all out of the art of profit. Xia Hongsheng sat cross-legged on the mat. said to the woman in red: "The girl asked me if I would divide or combine today, and first tell me if the benefits of today would be greater or greater than divided?" ”
The woman in red pondered silently, but she smiled enchantingly, avoiding Xia Hongsheng's question. But said: "Xia Gongzi knows this world, how did Li Shimin get it?" ”
The changes in Xuanwu Gate, Xia Hongsheng naturally knows. Some important ministers and ministers in the court also know about it. But that doesn't mean it's really widely known. In fact, only a few people around Li Shimin were directly involved in the truth of the matter. So the woman in red thought that Xia Hongsheng didn't know, so she asked.
Xia Hongsheng was noncommittal and said with a smile: "No matter how Your Majesty sits on the throne, there may be something hidden in it, or it may really not be so above board." But girl, please look at the people in the world today, compared to the people in the world back then, is there anything inferior? Now the government is harmonious, the court is clear, Your Majesty is a very eloquent and strategic figure, according to the Turks in the north, Baiyue in the south, the people's lives are becoming more and more stable, there are fields to cultivate, and now Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people, and there is no strict servitude. is really the former crown prince who ascended the throne, and he may not be able to do better than the current majesty. Why don't you give all the people of the world a way out? ”
"Give all the people of the world a way out?" The woman in red snorted coldly: "Then who will give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife and concubine a way out?!" Back then, Li Shimin was ...... for the position of the crown prince"
"Girl!" Xia Hongsheng interrupted the woman in red: "I know better than you what happened back then. I will not try to defend Your Majesty, nor will I try to teach you to let go of your resolve to revenge. But let me ask you, does the matter between the emperor and Li Jiancheng have anything to do with the people of the world? You want revenge, even if you go to the Emperor, whether you poison or assassinate. didn't have the ability to hurt the emperor, but why did he use the people of Shuofang as bargaining chips? The people have experienced the troubled times, and now they finally have a chance to settle down, and you are going to take revenge for you, but you are trying to take advantage of Shuo Fang to divide the territory, and you will not hesitate to cause the disaster of military rebellion, ignore the people, and also fill the emperor's sorrows. Do those people deserve to be used by you? To bear the consequences of your vindictiveness? Why are you?! ”
The change of Xuanwu Gate, when Li Shimin opened his bow and shot Li Jiancheng off the horse, between this lightning and fire, the history of the Tang Empire suddenly opened a new page.
This new page is so magnificent and splendid that the red blood stains in front of the Xuanwu Gate will soon be covered by the light of the new era. However, June 4, the ninth year of Wude, was destined to become a wound in Li Shimin's life that could never be healed, and it was also destined to become a hidden pain that could never be dissolved in the memory of the Li Tang Dynasty.
If the entire Zhenguan great cause created by Li Shimin later is a monument that reflects the ages, then its pedestal is undoubtedly a grave of barren grass.
Therefore, in the face of the questioning of the woman in red, Xia Hongsheng avoided Li Shimin's stain, and went to stand in the perspective of Li Min in the world, stating the sadness that they could not control their own fate.
Xia Hongsheng is unwilling to explore how the real thing happened is different from what is recorded in history, and he is unwilling to care whether Li Jiancheng made the first move or Li Shimin's first move, and he is even less willing to delve into whether Li Shimin did this right, whether he should or not. He only knew that now Li Jiancheng was dead, and the unsurpassable pride in the minds of the Chinese in the future was rising. He was resolutely unwilling to let that pride be ruined.
"How do you know about the events of that year? Li Shimin even told you this?! The woman in red avoided Xia Hongsheng's words and asked instead.
Xia Hongsheng smiled and said proudly: "Your Majesty will naturally not tell me such secrets. However, since the girl is so aware of what is going on, didn't she find out where she came from? The things that I know in the following are far beyond the imagination of the girl, and even those that do not belong to this world, and the secrets of this world are just idle chatter in the mountains! ”
This is too big, but Xia Hongsheng said it in order to bluff the woman in red. Sure enough, I saw the woman in red stunned, looking at Xia Hongsheng in a daze, and the surprise in her eyes was difficult to hide.
Xia Hongsheng took the opportunity to say again: "So girl, I would like to advise you below, don't be used by others." said that he was avenging Li Jiancheng, but this person is unpredictable, who knows what his real purpose is? ”
The woman in red was startled again, but soon recovered again, and suddenly smiled, and suddenly felt enchanting, and suddenly there was an illusion that the room was illuminated by the light, and said with a smile: "I heard that the son was empty-tongued, so he lobbied Li Zhengbao and Liang Luoren to persuade him to surrender. It is no wonder that Xia Gongzi was able to demagogue people with the power of rumors alone, and the Shuo Fang that stirred up the peace turned upside down, causing the Turks to attack each other, and Jieli and Tuli turned against each other. Xia Gongzi is really a good skill. It's a pity that the concubine is not blessed, and he can't let Xia Gongzi help the concubine willingly, otherwise, why worry about the big thing. However, the concubine now feels that even if she can't get Xia Gongzi's help, it is already a very beneficial thing for the concubine to get Xia Gongzi away from Li Shimin's side. ”
"I'm really curious to know what the girl's so-called big thing is." Xia Hongsheng felt a little regretful when he saw that his intention was seen through by the woman in red, but his face was not revealed, and he said: "The girl can talk about it, maybe under the next listen, she will find it very interesting, so she will help the girl with advice." ”
The woman in red shook her head with a smile and said, "Master Xia is taking care of her concubine." No matter what, I'm not afraid to let Childe know. The major event of the concubine's body is naturally to kill Li Shimin and avenge His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
"What about after killing the emperor?" Xia Hongsheng said: "Will you continue to be the emperor, or will the person who commanded you behind the scenes continue to be the emperor?" You see, it's just a matter of selfish desires. ”
"This throne should have been ......" The woman in red didn't continue, but Xia Hongsheng keenly grasped this very useful information.
It was supposed to be ...... It should have been ......
Who should it be? Lee built? But Li Jiancheng is dead, so who should it be? Li Jiancheng's son?
But haven't Li Jiancheng's sons also been cut down by Li Shimin to prevent future troubles?
Xia Hongsheng's expression did not change, he changed the topic, and said: "By the way, the things that were written on the paper just now, please bring them to the next after you come back, in addition, I also bothered the girl to get a coal stove and a few pots here, and picked her mouth in the next, I was not used to eating the food of your house, so I was ready to make it myself, of course, the cooking materials were also brought by the girl." In the next inheritance of the girl's favor, you can do the girl a small favor next time. (To be continued.) )
