Man Tanghong
Chapter 454 Curiosity Killed the Cat
Li Yuanji said angrily: "I was only 16 years old at the time! Although I was the governor of Bingzhou in name and was in charge of the military and political power of Bingzhou, it was not me who was in charge of Bingzhou at that time, but Dou Dan and Yu Wenxin.
If anyone wants to bear the blame for the loss of Bingzhou, it should be Dou Dan, it should be Yu Wenxin, not me! "
As if Li Xiaogong couldn't feel Li Yuanji's anger, he still laughed heartlessly, and said very much: "If you feel wronged, you should yell at the world, explain it to the world, and tell me What are you shouting, explaining to me?
I can't return your innocence. "
Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong angrily.
Li Xiaogong said in a friendly manner: "It seems that you also know that it will not work to yell or explain this kind of thing to the people of the world. The people of the world don't care how old you were at that time, nor will they care about you at that time Is there any real power.
People in the world only know that you were the governor of Bingzhou at that time, the person with the highest authority in Bingzhou, and the person with the highest status in Bingzhou.
Therefore, if the state is lost, even if you have no fault, you still have to bear the greatest infamy. "
This is the price that a person with high status and status must bear when doing a certain thing, or lending a name to do a certain thing.
This is also one of the origins of the saying 'If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight'.
It doesn't mean that if you are young, you can become the capital of your high position and mischief.
It doesn't mean that when you are young, you can use this as an excuse to shirk responsibility after you make a mistake, or that someone under your command has made a mistake.
After all, the common people don't care about these things.
Especially the people who are struggling to survive under the enemy's iron heel, they don't care whether the person protecting them is a 16-year-old boy, or whether the boy who protects them has real power in his hands.
They would only greet the young man, his whole family, and the eighteen generations of his ancestors when he was suffering.
It was precisely because of this that Li Yuanji did not refute Li Xiaogong's words, because he knew that what Li Xiaogong said was the truth, and he also knew that the stigma brought to him by his predecessor might not be cleared up in this life.
So I could only gritted my teeth and shouted at Li Xiaogong: "If I am a big fool, you are an even bigger fool, and you are all even bigger fools."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong said overjoyedly: "Your reaction now, how do you put it in your own words? Powerless and furious? Isn't it?"
Li Yuanji's eyes widened for a moment, he stood up abruptly, and roared at Li Xiaogong: "How dare you peek at my secret letter?!"
Seeing that Li Yuanji was really angry, and he was still furious, Li Xiaogong hurriedly corrected his sitting posture, put away his smiling face, and said seriously: "I didn't peek, it was your two daughters who sent it to my desk. Up."
"how is this possible?!"
Li Yuanji didn't believe it at all.
Li Xiaogong hurriedly explained: "What I said is true. It was really your two daughters who sent it to my desk. They not only gave me a copy, but also gave Ling Jing and Ren Gui a copy."
Li Yuanji's face was red, blue, and white.
Although there were no secrets recorded in those secrets, they were all trash talk written when he was upset.
But even if these rubbish words are spread, it is enough for him to die once in front of all the nobles in Chang'an City.
Judging from Li Xiaogong's reaction, Li Xiaogong probably hasn't read the few volumes at the bottom of the box, otherwise it would definitely kill him.
Ling Jing and Ren Gui probably haven't seen it before, otherwise they would have rushed to Jiudao Palace with weird faces.
Even so, all secret letters must be destroyed as soon as possible before Li Ling and Li Xu fell to the bottom of the box.
After thinking up to this point, Li Yuanji shouted to the outside of the corridor, "Come here!"
The guards waiting outside the pavilion heard the greeting and hurried into the pavilion.
Without waiting for the guards to salute, Li Yuanji ordered decisively: "Hurry up to the Abode, go to the desk in the main room of the Abode, and get a box.
After getting it, return to Jiudao Palace quickly without delay.
After arriving at the Jingshe, I will order someone to send a message to Ling Jing and Ren Gui, asking them to send me the books that Li Ling and Li Xu gave them, and there must be no less pages. "
The guard was originally going to salute, but before he could salute, Li Yuanji had already given his orders.
He could only cup his fists together, agreed, and then ran to the abode down the mountain.
Just after running two steps, Li Yuanji stopped him, "Wait!"
The guard hurriedly turned his head, clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "What orders does Your Highness have?"
Li Yuanji took a deep breath and said: "You tell the princess again, let the princess teach Li Ling and Li Xu the rules."
The guard froze for a moment, then quickly bowed his head in agreement.
Li Xiaogong looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment.
Li Yuanji pretended not to see Li Xiaogong's eyes, and just waved to the guard, telling the guard to do it as soon as possible.
After the guard bowed again, he quickly rushed along the corridor to the gate of Jiudao Palace and then to the Abode.
Li Xiaogong didn't hold back until after the guards disappeared, "Is it heavy?"
Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong and said nothing.
What Li Xiaogong meant was that it was too important to ask Yang Miaoyan to teach Li Ling and Li Xu to behave properly.
If this is placed in the homes of ordinary people, it is just an inconspicuous sentence.
But if you put it in a wealthy family or the royal family, it is to accuse the housewife of not being able to teach the children.
This is a heavy accusation to Yang Miaoyan, a childless housewife.
If a housewife can't have children and can't educate children, then she is not far from being abandoned.
"If I remember correctly, you were the one who indulged Li Ling and Li Xu back then. Now that you can't stand their nonsense, it's your fault. Why are you taking it out on your younger siblings?"
Li Xiaogong had a good impression of Yang Miaoyan, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Yang Miaoyan.
It was Li Yuanji who indulged Li Ling and Li Xu and hoped that Li Ling and Li Xu would have a happy childhood, and now it is Li Yuanji who despises Li Ling and Li Xu for messing around.
It was Li Yuanji anyway, and Yang Miaoyan couldn't blame him anyway.
Li Xiaogong felt that Li Yuanji was venting his anger.
Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong again, and said angrily: "When did I vent my anger with clever words?"
Li Xiaogong also narrowed his eyes and said: "You said such serious things to Miao Yan, are you taking your anger out on her? She just has no children, if she had children, how could she allow you to say such things."
Heirs are the guts of a woman, especially in this era, when a woman with heirs and a woman without heirs are in the same position, they have two completely different voices.
A woman with children has an equal status with her husband at home, especially in the back house, and even has the right to speak over her husband when dealing with everything in the back house.
A childless woman does not have much right to speak at home or in the back house, and it is impossible to be equal to her husband.
Occasionally, I was taunted by my husband, but I could only hold back and dare not reply at all.
It was precisely because of this that Li Xiaogong attributed Li Yuanji's 'bullying' of Yang Miaoyan to the fact that Yang Miaoyan had no heirs.
Li Yuanji didn't even bother to talk to Li Xiaogong anymore, Li Xiaogong knew a lot about his family's affairs.
But Li Xiaogong obviously didn't think so, he said relentlessly: "Don't turn your eyebrows at me, are you talking instead? Are you bullying others because you see that their siblings have no children?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong, and said coldly: "You think I'm bullying Miaoyan, how about we make a bet?"
Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "You are bullying when you bully others. I can see clearly and hear clearly. What else can I bet on?"
Li Yuanji said coldly: "You just say whether to fight or not?"
Li Xiaogong said perfunctorily: "What bets are you talking about first?"
Li Yuanji said: "You said that I bullied Miaoyan, and if Miaoyan was bullied by me, how would you react?"
Li Xiaogong was taken aback for another moment, and said in a neutral tone, "What else can I do? Naturally, I would bring a pair of daughters over here to confess my mistakes to you, the head of the family."
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll bet on whether Miaoyan will bring Li Ling and Li Xu to confess to me."
Li Xiaogong almost nodded his head in agreement without hesitation, but just as he nodded, he realized that Li Yuanji would never aim aimlessly.
Since Li Yuanji dared to say that, he probably had something to rely on.
Or in other words, it's a sure bet.
Although he was in a wealthy family and in the royal family, Li Yuanji said that Yang Miaoyan could not educate children, which was a very serious accusation.
But if the husband and wife have other agreement between the bed, then it's a different matter.
Immediately, Li Xiaogong shook his head without hesitation and said: "I won't bet with you, and there is no benefit in betting with you, why should I bet with you."
Li Yuanji said to Li Xiaogong with a half-smile: "If you bet with me, after I lose, I will tell you a secret, a big secret."
Li Xiaogong subconsciously opened his eyes wide.
He wanted to know.
But he also knew that ninety-nine percent of this was a set.
The secret that Li Yuanji may call a great secret must be a great secret.
If Li Yuanji didn't talk about this kind of secret, he might not know it until the crisis happened, or he might never know it for the rest of his life.
This confuses him.
On the one hand, curiosity prompted him to eagerly want to know this great secret.
On the one hand, reason told him that there was deceit in it, and he must not be fooled, let alone curiosity, otherwise it would be easy to fall into the pit.
Under these two different mental struggles, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, "I don't care how big your secret is, I just don't gamble."
Li Yuanji was suddenly happy, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have grown up. Knowing that curiosity is easy to kill people, you know how to restrain yourself. If you can restrain yourself when you are in Yuanye, you will not Being imprisoned in the main hall near the water, I wouldn't run into the palace in fear to be a kowtow for my father."
If anyone wants to bear the blame for the loss of Bingzhou, it should be Dou Dan, it should be Yu Wenxin, not me! "
As if Li Xiaogong couldn't feel Li Yuanji's anger, he still laughed heartlessly, and said very much: "If you feel wronged, you should yell at the world, explain it to the world, and tell me What are you shouting, explaining to me?
I can't return your innocence. "
