Chapter 017 Countermeasures - Longzhong Prison, Strive to Reflect (3)
Liu Shuyi felt relieved when he saw that Li Jiancheng's entourage was always outside the cell, not leaving him. He was relieved that he would take care of his elder brother in addition to eating and sleeping every day.
During this period, the doctor came to the elder brother several times to follow up and said that the elder brother was strong and his wounds healed quickly, and healed earlier than expected.
He and his father were both very happy after hearing this, but their worries followed.
Although Wang Er has never come back since tortured his elder brother, Li Jiancheng has never appeared. Liu Shuyi is fine, and he has never lost confidence. It is expected that the Li family must weigh the pros and cons and think carefully before they can make a decision, which naturally takes time.
But his father seemed to be still resentful of Li Yuan. Seeing that Li Jiancheng had not come for several days, he began to complain in secret. He said that Li Yuan was blind and had no idea about people. He said that Li Jiancheng was treacherous and lies. In the end, even Li Shimin, who he had always appreciated, started to curse him.
Liu Shuyi listened to these complaints and swear words every day, thinking: My father's temper is too bad, so he has to persuade him to change in the future, otherwise he will eventually miss the big thing and harm himself.
But then shook his head and thought again: If the personality and temper are so easy to change, there will probably be no more disputes and conflicts in the world. My father is Liu Wenjing, the first military advisor of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If he had no such arrogance, would he still be Liu Wenjing?
But I thought that even though I thought so, I still had to persuade him. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, my father looked sad and said, "Your mother also advised me like this, so that I could be careful in my words and actions and lose my temper. Alas, if she is here, I naturally dare not disobey it, … … … ” The voice was filled with sadness.
Seeing this, Liu Shuyi couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't persuade him again. Fortunately, not long after, Li Jiancheng finally came.
That night, Liu Shuyi stood by the fence and waited hard, and suddenly heard footsteps sounding, with more than two people showing that they were overjoyed, and they were so happy that they looked at the footsteps.
The prison was dark, and at first I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but after a while, the voice was approaching, and an old jailman walked quickly, which was the old acquaintance. Several people followed behind the two, and the first person was Li Jiancheng.
The sound of iron chains, the prison door opened, Li Jiancheng strode into the cell, and a young man was following behind him.
The young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a medium figure, a jade-like face, and extraordinary talent. However, his face was still childish, but he was old and had a firm look. He fought side by side with Li Jiancheng in this way, but he was not inferior. He was just a smile on his face, and the other always had a serious face, clearly distinguished.
Liu Shuyi had vaguely guessed who the young man in front of him was. Just as he was about to confirm, he heard a sarcastic voice saying: "Well, the Li family finally knows how to speak and trustworthy, not bad, not bad!"
It is his father Liu Wenjing.
The sarcasm in these words was very obvious. Liu Shuyi could only cry out in secret, for fear that his father would say something more excessive. He hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "Shuyi, I have seen two young masters. My father was worried about his elder brother's health and waited hard. He said inappropriately. I would like to forgive me."
Li Jiancheng had met Liu Wenjing before, and had seen some of his strange temper, but he didn't care. He said, "It is human nature to love father and son. County Magistrate Liu is so concerned about his eldest son. Jiancheng only has respect in his heart. Ashamed, ashamed! He has been delayed for several days before meeting again. I am very sorry."
After saying that, he bowed and bowed.
When Li Jiancheng heard that Liu Wenjing was quite talented, he went to the prison to visit despite other people's opposition. Later, in the prison, he found that Liu Shuyi was young, but smart and sharp. He thought that Liu Wenjing was naturally not an ordinary person as a father, so he was determined to rescue the father and son of the Liu family. But this matter was very important after all, and he could not take any attention to the Wang and Gao families.
It was not until I found out that the father and son had a deep affection, the father was kind and the son was filial, and the brothers and sisters were deeply in love, and that I made up my mind to rescue him.
He is a person who values feelings and wants a harmonious family, but things go against their wishes. The conflicts in the family are always constant and difficult to resolve. He often feels deeply regretful.
When Liu Shuyi heard that Li Jiancheng was not angry, he was very happy. He was about to say a few words to smooth things over, but suddenly he heard a cold voice saying, "I heard that you are Li Mi's in-laws, intending to collude with this thief to fight against the court, right? You dare to commit such a rebellious act of rebellion, which is too bold!"
It was the voice of the young man.
Liu Shuyi sneered. If these words came from someone else's mouth, he didn't think it was strange, but from this person's mouth, that would be the biggest strange thing in the world. If we talk about the great ambition and the strong will of the Sui Dynasty, no one can compare with him.
Just as he was about to refute, Li Jiancheng rushed to say: "Shimin, how can you trust such nonsense and slanderous words? County Magistrate Liu is the head of a county, and he is known to be honest and honest. How could he collude with bandits and resist the court? It must be that the stingy people interfere in it and deliberately frame it. We come here this time to do our best to cleanse their grievances."
That young man is Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan.
He heard the words of his elder brother Li Jiancheng, and he did not comment. He turned his head and looked elsewhere, without saying anything.
Liu Shuyi was not surprised when he heard that the young man was the famous Li Shimin, because from the moment he came in, he secretly looked at it carefully and had guessed the probability in his heart. At this moment, Li Jiancheng revealed his identity, which only confirmed his previous guess.
He is in line with age and temperament, and he is here with Li Jiancheng. Who can he be if he is not Li Shimin?
Liu Wenjing was always dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng's late arrival, but the Liu family still wanted him to help him and did not vent. They only ignored Li Jiancheng and even more disdainful of the young man who came with him.
Suddenly I heard that the young man was Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, a young hero whom I had always appreciated. I was surprised and happy and couldn't help but look at him and sighed:
However, he is a handsome talent. Although he is young, he is only three or four years older than Shu Yi. However, there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and he has a faint sense of majesty. This is not even Li Jian, who is about 10 years older than him.
But after all, he is still young and has limited experience, so he needs more experience. His words just now seemed to be extremely cautious and unscathing, but in fact it was just a spoiler. If the Liu family father and son were mediocre people, how could you come to prison? It is best to talk to smart people without striking around the bush, test back and forth, and go straight to the point.
What Li Jiancheng said just now is very good. It seems that the Erlang of the Li family is indeed a piece of uncensored jade, but it still needs to be polished carefully. It is not as good as the Dalang of the Li family at the moment, but in time, it will definitely come from behind.
Thinking of this, he said, "What the eldest son said is neither right nor right, I, Liu Wenjing..."
Liu Shuyi was afraid that his father would not be afraid of heaven and earth would not be afraid of the temper again, so he contradicted the Li family. Once he annoyed them, he would have no hope of leaving the prison. He hurriedly said, "Dad, let my son talk about it next."
Liu Wenjing was stunned and nodded, thinking that Shu Yi had been studying hard for some time, so he might as well let him perform and get the results of his studies. But I had already said that, and he didn't know what I wanted, so it would be difficult to follow. Let's see what he said first. Once his words were all wrong, I would just start to correct me.
Liu Shuyi didn't know what his father would say next. Seeing his father's approval, he was overjoyed and felt worried again. He was even more nervous and thought:
What I said next is crucial, not only about whether you can get out of the prison safely, but also about your future development prospects. You can get along well with the young Li Shimin. After the troubled times, you should live a worry-free life.
But I can't deliberately please you or flatter you, so the scale is really difficult to grasp. Fortunately, after traveling through time, I often discuss the general trend of the world with my father. I know what my father thinks, and the rest depends on my performance.
But after all, I am a time traveler. Can’t I scare the two people in front of me even though my knowledge in my previous life and what I learned in my later life?
As soon as he thought of this, his confidence increased greatly and he said, "My father said: What the eldest son said is neither right nor right. That means someone deliberately framed the Liu family. That is indeed true, but something is wrong..."
Speaking of this, I deliberately looked outside the prison, which meant that I was afraid of hearing the walls and could not say it clearly.
Liu Jiancheng knew his intentions and said, "There are people outside the prison cell to guard the wind. The two prisoners are taking the wind further away. This place is absolutely safe. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it."
Liu Shuyi had guessed that this would be the case long ago. Isn’t the second son of the Li family a general? How could he not consider it carefully in advance?
He said: "Some people deliberately slander the Liu family to rebel, and the two young masters must also know it. But the eldest son said something wrong. The Liu family did not have the reality of rebellion, but they still had the intention of rebellion, so it is natural for us to be imprisoned. As for the 'cleaning of grievances', there is no way to talk about it."
Although these words were certainly out of Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin expected, even Liu Wenjing grew up in shock and couldn't close her mouth. Although he had this intention, he admitted that he had the intention of rebellion to the son who had just met Taiyuan, whom he had just met. Even if he was bold, he would not dare to say it easily.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other, their faces full of shock.
After all, Li Jiancheng was old, so he calmed down in an instant and said with a smile: "Little brother, are you kidding? We brothers are here to rescue you father and son, and to betray you for your grievances. You actually have the intention of rebellion, then... that..."
Speaking of this, I really can't understand what the boy in front of me meant, and I feel that the wording is inappropriate.
Li Shimin continued his conversation and said, "Since you are so ruthless and want to rebel, we have nothing to say. If you are different and do not plan for each other, we are not the same person, so let's say goodbye."
Although he said "good goodbye", his feet did not move at all. He seemed to have to wait for Liu Shuyi to finish his words before he left.
If Liu Shuyi didn't know that the second son of the Li family was in front of him, he might be afraid that they would leave and never return, but at this moment he was fearless.
He looked at Li Shimin with his eyes focused and said meaningfully: "The second young master is so bad. We are all the people in the final analysis."
Li Shimin's face changed color and scolded: "Nonsense, brother, let's go!"
Liu Shuyi continued: "The Emperor Daye is incompetent and incompetent, the harsh government is stronger than the tiger, the people are disinterested, and the world is in chaos. My father and I do have the intention of rebelling against the Sui Dynasty, and want to save the people from water and fire. However, the power is weak and powerless, and I feel deeply regretful. I only want to find a wise ruler who takes the people of the world as his responsibility, and assist him with all his heart, help him to wipe out the bandits and dominate the world.
I just searched for many years and found nothing.
Why……"
Liu Shuyi deliberately pulled this sigh for a long time, full of regret and sadness with endless ambitions.
Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and stared at Liu Shuyi intently, hoping to see his true thoughts from his subtle expressions, but he saw that Liu Shuyi also stared at him with no slight fluctuations on his face.
He said: "The world is in chaos, and thieves are rising one after another, and the people are in sorrow. How easy is it to save the people and the fire?"
Liu Shuyi nodded and said, "What the eldest son said is very true. As the current situation is changing, only Shang Tang, Zhou Wu, Han Gao, and Guangwu's talents can be pacified. The boy heard of Tang Gong Xiong's talent and strategy, but he didn't know if Tang Gong wanted to achieve great things that were unparalleled and comparable to them?"
Li Jiancheng pondered and refused to answer, as if he was hesitant and difficult to decide.
Li Shimin, who was standing beside him, said coldly: "You are trying to persuade your father to rebel, you are so bold. Do you know that his father is a loyal minister who is the one who is valued by Emperor Daye, and can do such a traitor."
Seeing that Li Shimin was still pretending to be arrogant and refused to admit it, Liu Shuyi felt a little bored and said, "Since the second young master insisted on fooling around, I have nothing to say.
Originally, my father worked hard and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a plan to become an emperor, to offer it to Mr. Tang and the two sons. Now it seems that there is no need to say it."
When Li Jiancheng saw Liu Shuyi talking freely and was very polite, he saw through the Li family's desire to achieve great achievements. He had long been secretly admired. How could he dare to underestimate him at this moment?
I thought to myself that Liu Wenjing was always talented, but it was indeed good. His son Liu Shuyi’s words today must be given detailed guidance in advance. Otherwise, how could a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old say such words to the point?
He hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, little brother, please say something. My father is an important minister of the court and has always been sincere to Emperor Daye. His thoughts are that the two Jiancheng brothers dare not speculate on their own. However, as today's troubles and the current situation is chaotic, the virtuous father and son must have amazing insights, and Jiancheng dares to hear the opinions of virtuous father and son."
Liu Shuyi listened to Liu Jiancheng's words "virtuous father and son" on the left and "virtuous father and son" on the right, which was a respectful title to both father and son on the surface. But he could hear that Li Jiancheng was actually mainly praising his father Liu Wenjing, and seemed to think that what he said just now was taught by his father Liu Wenjing, and he was just a soundtrack to his father.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became. I deliberately stopped talking, trying to quell their majesty. Seeing that Li Jiancheng was frowning, he seemed to be itchy and couldn't help but feel quite proud.
At this moment, Li Shimin walked up, walked over to him, walked to his father, bowed deeply, and said, "Mr. Liu is a talented man, Shimin has always admired him. I wonder what his views are on the current situation?"
He did not call him a common respectful title like "Mr. Liu", but called him a very kind "Mr.", and his attitude was obviously much more respectful than when he first entered the prison.
Seeing this, Liu Shuyi was extremely angry and thought to himself: Although Li Jiancheng looked down on me, at least he gave me mercy and asked me to pass on my father's words.
But what does you, Li Shimin, mean? He actually spared me and asked my father directly, isn’t this obvious embarrassment? In fact, every word just now was what I thought about, so what does it have to do with my father?
My chest was so angry that I almost burst open, but the overall situation was the most important and it would not happen.
But my father Liu Wenjing said, "I dare not take it for you. I hope you don't laugh at me if you are not a joke."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin said at the same time: "Sir, I am too humble."
Liu Wenjing said: "It's just that my next vulgar view is not what I think. Although the child is young, he has already gained my true teachings. He has helped me a lot, making me feel enlightened. Therefore, let my son Shuyi talk to the two young masters."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were shocked and could not believe it, but if Liu Wenjing deliberately lied and lied to snatch his son up, it would not be like this.
Because such a noble man like Liu Wenjing cherishes his reputation the most and would rather die than others say that he is a person who only has a false reputation and seeks fame. What he just said was that he highly praised Liu Shuyi's son, and he had a vague power to surpass himself.
Originally, it was common for the father to deliberately exaggerate his son's talent. As long as he was not allowed to show his strength, others would not say anything even if they knew it.
But Liu Wenjing generously asked her son to discuss the current situation and express his opinions. You should know that these things cannot be talked about with just a few words of advice.
Perhaps Liu Wenjing could let his son hold his own point of view in advance, but he had to give advice and give advice to the country in person. If he did not have real talent and knowledge, others could see the flaws at a glance, which would make a big joke at that time.
Although the Li brothers also know the principle of "a tiger father has no dog son", they also see that although Liu Shuyi is young, he is extremely smart and his future may be limitless.
But the future is the future, and the time has not yet arrived. Both of them seem to want to see Liu Shuyi's jokes. Their eyes were staring at him at the same time, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
