Chapter 015 Countermeasures - Longzhong Prison Strikes to Reflect (1)
Although Liu Shuyi was exhausted both physically and mentally, he did not dare to sleep much this time and woke up at noon the next day.
I saw my elder brother Liu Shuyi unconscious and his father was still standing beside him. My father said that although my elder brother was not awake, his movements were much smaller than last night, but his murmuring was still intermittent, and he was obviously still very concerned about the safety of his father and brothers.
Liu Shuyi looked at her father and had the same thought in his heart: as long as he could protect his elder brother and son, he would do whatever the price he had to pay!
Liu Shuyi knew that his father was ambitious and did not want to live his life without a name. Although he did not say anything about his elder brother, he would definitely not be willing to serve the king in his heart. The second-year high school mediocre person worked hard and said, "Dad, as you said, Wang, the second-year high school guy is not a wise ruler. Even if he really defects, he may not be able to protect my Liu family. I thought of an idea last night, dad, see if it is OK..."
So he told Liu Wenjing everything he thought last night.
Liu Wenjing pulled the long beard under her chin, bent her index finger, gently tapped her cheek, and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he said, "I think this method is feasible. I said before that as long as Mr. Tang can save the Liu family, I, Liu Wenjing, would like to provide guidance for him throughout my life and follow him to the death. If you have a different intention, you will not die well.
Now it seems that the Tang Duke refused to see me at the beginning because I was not famous, so he must blame him for not being able to do so.
I have learned all my talents, God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, but others may not know. At that time, I was arrogant and arrogant, and I just wanted Mr. Tang to treat him with courtesy, but I never thought that I had not shown my talents. In today's world, there are many people who brag about themselves and seek fame. It seems that Mr. Tang regards me as that kind of person.
Alas, if you have a chance to see Mr. Tang, you must first offer the strategy of conquering the world that I have worked hard to find. After hearing my countermeasures, if Mr. Tang still disdained me, it was God's will. I will no longer force you. However, Li Yuan missed me, Liu Wenjing, just like Liu Xuande missed Wolong, so he could not get involved in the world again."
He sighed a long sigh, and his sigh was still full of pride.
After a while, he said, "Shuyi, you are quite capable of knowing people. The old prison guard thought he had been in prison for many years. He was good at world affairs and was able to do everything. If he was willing to help, he would have a great hope of success.
But people like him are the most cautious. They want to get benefits, but they are unwilling to take even a little risk. We have to offer conditions that he cannot refuse, and we must help us and stay out of the matter and never be implicated."
Liu Shuyi said: "We wrote the letter of help on the lapel of our clothes, and after we asked him to go out, we would find a child to send him to the Li Mansion. We thought we would not make things difficult for him, but it would take a lot of thought to impress him.
Well, if he could give him a lot of money and keep him worry-free for half his life, I think he would never refuse. But the Liu family is in trouble and has no money, so where can they have money?"
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind and he continued, "Dad, why not give him the Liu family's house. If we can go out safely, will we still not have a house to live in?"
Liu Wenjing always regarded money as dirt and immediately said, "As long as he promised to help, what's the point of giving him ten houses?
Well, in order for him to do his best to do his best to do our work, I can tell him where the deed is located. I am afraid that we will be guilty of treason, the house will be confiscated, and the old prisoner will get the deed, but he will not trust and refuse to do things for us."
Liu Shuyi heard his father's crazy words and spoke generously. He thought to himself that you would not embezzle or accept bribes. With that little salary alone, how could you have ten houses?
He did not reveal it, and said, "Dad, now we are restrained everywhere and ask others for help, and we don't care about everything. As the saying goes, "You should stop and suffer from chaos. As long as the old prison guard appears, we will act immediately."
Liu Wenjing nodded, but her heart was still depressed. Although the plan was good, it was not easy to implement. Even if the letter was sent to the Li Mansion through hardships, it would still be unpredictable whether the Li family would be willing to help. Once the Li family was dead and refused to save it, everything would be in vain.
Liu Shuyi is much more optimistic than him.
Although he has begun to doubt that history may have been fine-tuned because of his own appearance, with Li Yuan's wisdom, it is impossible for him to be indifferent to the Liu family's request for help. As long as he saves the Liu family, this is the grace of rebirth and the best opportunity to win people's hearts. Li Yuan has no reason to disdain.
What's more, the Liu family colluded with Li Mi to rebel is a false case, and even the real relationship between Wang and Gao families has no conclusive evidence.
Li Yuan could tell these things just by asking them a little. With his dignified left-behind Taiyuan, it was not too difficult to save the Liu family. He just wanted to openly break up with the Wang and Gao families, but whether they broke up or not? Anyone with a little knowledge should know that from the day when the Li family came to Taiyuan, these two sides would never be able to live in peace again. Everyone wanted to eat the other party.
Moreover, Li Yuan had been the magistrate of Jinyang County for many years, so Li Yuan could not have heard of it. Although his father never got the opportunity to contact the leaders of the Li family and could not display his talents, Jinyang had peace and stability for many years. Although he had no great achievements, he was still dedicated. In Li Yuan's eyes, he may not be an outstanding figure, but at least he was not a mediocre person who was useless.
In the end, the Wang and Gao families tried to use the Liu family to frame Li Yuan, with their ambitions obvious and attempted to dominate Taiyuan. So, can Li Yuan remain indifferent and ignore it when he heard about this?
In short, Li Yuan saved the Liu family with all benefits but no harm. He not only destroyed the king and Gao families falsely accused the villain and received the help of the Liu family. Perhaps he could also join Li Mi, Henan. As long as Li Yuan is not a stupid person, how could he not save him?
As soon as I thought about it, I smiled and brought the food to me, and served it with my father. I felt that the food became even worse, and it was far from yesterday, but I felt less worried. In addition, I was extremely hungry, so I ate it with relish.
After the meal, the father and son were waiting beside Liu Shuyi, looking forward to the old prison guard appearing quickly, and at the same time secretly praying, hoping that Wang Er, the villain who relies on his power, would not come again.
As a result, there were mixed joys and sorrows. Although the old jailer did not show up, Wang Er did not come to force his confession again. And this was the case for several days.
During this period, Liu Shuyi woke up from her drowsiness and felt better every day. As long as there is no external interference, she can rest for a month. If she is elsewhere, it will not be difficult to rest, but in prison, her life will be in the hands of others, and everything will be less easy to do.
Liu Shuyi and Liu Wenjing and his son were kind to comfort him in front of Liu Daliu Shuyi, and never showed any anxiety. However, they were both worried and anxious all day long.
They could not see the old prisoner and could not contact Li Yuan. Although there was nothing to do for the time being, they were in a passive position. Once Wang Er or Wang and Gao families sent other people over, they could only throw themselves into a harassment and be slaughtered by others.
But if the old jailer didn't come for a day, they had no choice but to do anything, and the other jailer couldn't believe it. For a moment, the previous plan to escape had died before it was officially implemented.
Liu Shuyi stood outside the cell every day, beside the gate, looking out. In addition to paying attention to whether the old prisoner was coming, he was also paying attention to whether Wang Er and others would suddenly visit.
Whenever footsteps sounded, his heart would skip a beat, both excited and panic, fearing that the person who came was not an old prison guard, but Wang Er, who was so worried, happy and worried, and over time, he was exhausted physically and mentally.
One day, Liu Shuyi heard footsteps from afar, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that he was coming to him.
With a lot of steps, obviously there are many people, and it is definitely not just the prison guards. He thought Wang Er came to ask again, and his heart was cold:
Now that I’m done, it seems that I can only agree to them first and save my elder brother. I will go to see Wang Wei and Gao Junya with my father. They have the elder brother as hostage, and I don’t expect to stop him.
After a while, two prisoners were leading the way, followed by three people. They couldn't see the faces of the three people in the dark, and they didn't know if they were Wang Er and others.
I heard the sound of iron chains, and the prison door opened. A middle-aged man walked into a 27 or 28 years old, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic weapon. He was graceful and rich, and his clothes were extremely luxurious. He was obviously not an ordinary person.
The jailer bowed his head and stepped out respectfully.
Liu Shuyi looked at the middle-aged man up and down carefully. He had never seen him before. He only saw a smile on his face, looking extremely amiable. As soon as he saw him, he felt like he wanted to get close.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning, thinking:
If it weren't for Wang Wei and Gao Junya sent him to question him, he would have been the Li family. Well, this person's temperament is extremely valuable, so it must be Li Shimin.
I never expected that Emperor Taizong of Tang, the famous in history, would be like this, approachable and without any airs, and would be like a big brother next door.
Before his father could come forward, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Are you Li Shimin?"
He knew that Li Shimin was very talented and worked hard to govern. During his reign, his politics was relatively clear and known as the Zhenguan rule in history. However, the process of Li Shimin ascending the throne was not glorious. He forced his father to kill his brother, and ignored the father and son, and brotherly feelings. Later, it set a precedent for the emperor to tamper with history. He had both merits and faults, but overall, merits were greater than faults.
After Liu Shuyi traveled through time, he learned that he was at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The first thing he thought of was Li Shimin, the "selected son of the heavens", who was the historical achievements of Emperor Taizong of Tang. Later generations wanted to break them apart and praise them in pieces.
But history has been "dressed up" and he dared not fully believe historical records. He has repeatedly fantasized about what this famous ancient Chinese emperor looked like and what his personality would be, and what would his reaction if he came to him.
Now the real person is in front of him. He really expected that Li Shimin would be so humble and friendly, as if he was very different from the book, and even more different from the black and vicious image he thought. If he was not good at calculating and vicious, how could he launch the Xuanwu Sect Incident and seize the position of emperor?
In amazement, he couldn't help but blurt out and called him his name. It was very impolite to call someone else's name in person. Liu Shuyi regretted it after he finished speaking, but the mistake had been made and could not be saved.
Liu Shuyi lowered his head and glanced at Li Shimin in front of him, feeling uneasy. He saw that he was still smiling and standing there, motionless, with only his eyes rolling, as if he didn't care about the offense he had just happened, and it seemed that he hadn't heard what he said at all.
At this moment, Liu Wenjing suddenly spoke: "Shuyi, don't be rude. This must be the Li family's eldest son?"
The man's face changed slightly, and he was surprised, and then he returned to his original state. He smiled and said, "Mr. Liu has a good attitude. After seeing him, Li Dajiancheng, and he has long heard that the Magistrate Liu is an outstanding talent in Taiyuan. When he saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary. He was fortunate to meet him and was very honored."
After saying that, he bowed deeply, and the etiquette was quite thoughtful.
Liu Wenjing heard his words full of praise, but she felt angry:
OK, today you are deliberately dissipating and humiliating me. What are you talking about "outstanding talents" or "extraordinary". If your Li family really thinks this way, how can you keep me from thousands of miles away before?
Li Yuan was a left-behind Taiyuan, with a high position and a powerful position. It would be fine if he didn't see me. Although you have no official position, you are the eldest son of the Li family. Why couldn't you meet me on behalf of your father before?
He was extremely angry and had nowhere to vent his feelings. However, seeing that Li Jiancheng was considerate and the key to saving the Liu family's father and son, he had to force himself to restrain himself. This did not happen. He returned the courtesy in a regular manner, but did not speak.
The man was Li Jiancheng, which was beyond Liu Shuyi's expectations. Hearing his words, he admired his father very much and felt good about him. Seeing that his father seemed to be in a perverse temper, he had to rush to say, "It turns out that he is the eldest son of the Li family. He just abruptly and begs to forgive him."
Liu Jiancheng smiled and said, "Strange, strange! Although my second brother is older than you, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old after all. How could you mistook me for him? I really don't understand this."
Liu Shuyi naturally did not dare to tell the truth. When he saw a noble man coming, he suddenly thought of the Li family. He was overjoyed and had no time to think about it. Because he was most familiar with Li Shimin, he took it for granted that Li Jiancheng was regarded as Li Shimin.
He said: "I have never seen two young masters, but I think the Liu family was framed and put in a prison. Only a kind family like the Li family can save them in Taiyuan. However, what identities are of Duke Tang and the eldest son? They are busy with their daily affairs. It seems that it is difficult to take time. Even if they squeeze out time, how can they easily get involved in such a dirty place like the prison?
Today, I saw that the eldest son was elegant and luxurious, with extraordinary temperament, and was definitely not an ordinary person. After a moment of thinking, I guessed that the young master must be from the Li family. But if you think about such a small matter as the Liu family, how could you bother Tang and the eldest son Da Jia, so I took it for granted that the wrong person.
Now that I think about it, I still feel ashamed. What a noble status of the eldest son, I came to the prison to meet him in person. The father and son of the Liu family were flattered and grateful."
These words are explanations, but they are actually a naked boastful word.
Liu Shuyi was still blushing at first, feeling quite embarrassed. Such flattery was really a loss of his usual character. But at this moment, Li Jiancheng was the key to saving the Liu family. The lives of the father and son were in his hands. Weighing the pros and cons and saying some flatteries against their will was also forced by the situation.
Moreover, it would not be appropriate to say that it was all against one's will. The Li family rose from Taiyuan and went through hardships and finally won the world. No matter how many praises it was, it was not too much. The father and son of the Li family were outstanding and unpretentious figures at that time, and it was natural to have respect for them.
But respect is respectful, there is no need to bow down and bow your head, because the more you are like this, the more others look down on you.
Li Jiancheng's face changed slightly, but he didn't expect that the boy in front of him could say this. Although he knew that the boy had many exaggerated words and deliberately pleased him, he still praised the Li family and himself with joy and complacent hearts.
I looked at the boy carefully and was amazed:
In order to get rid of the cage, saying some flattery is a common human relationship, but it is really not easy to say what you said just now at a young age.
The most important thing is that I came here just to test whether Liu Wenjing has real talent and knowledge, and then discuss with my father and brother whether this magistrate of Jinyang is worthy of rescue. The boy seemed to see my intention at a glance, and he first ran over to me, forcing me to save me.
Well, it is quite rare to be so scheming at a young age. If you have a son like this, then being a father will definitely be even more difficult. It seems that I did not come in vain this time, and the Liu family must be saved!
After thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Liu is loyal to the court. How could the Liu family be a rebel who colludes with bandits? Someone must have made a mistake. After I go back, I will report to my father and seek justice for you."
