Tang Dynasty

Chapter 10 Loyal servants are worthless
"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Li couldn't breathe, he kept coughing, sticking out his tongue, rolling his eyes.

After a lot of effort, Liu Li escaped from Liu Yu's clutches.

"Nizi, please remember, don't say such outrageous words again, otherwise, don't blame me for righteously destroying relatives!" Liu Yu is a loyal minister, and he must not say such outrageous words easily.

"You are determined to be a loyal minister, right? Okay! I'll let you know that a loyal minister is the most worthless!" Liu Li also got angry, this cheap old man is really a piece of wood, ************** a loyal minister , This is the rhythm that will kill our whole family.

Aren't there not many loyal ministers in the Sui Dynasty?Which of Xue Daoheng, Pei Renji and his ilk was not loyal to the Sui Dynasty?What happened to them?Xue Daoheng was better than Emperor Sui Yang because of his poems, so he killed him, how wronged.

"Loyal ministers are priceless, how can they be measured by money? I am so angry!" Liu Yu was so angry that he blew on his beard and his eyeballs almost fell out.

He was educated and everything he did was to be a loyal minister. It was the first time he had heard Liu Li's astonishing words, and he would not be able to get angry.

"Loyal ministers are worth nothing! In all dynasties, loyal ministers are the least valuable! In all dynasties, loyal ministers have died the most! In all dynasties, loyal ministers have died the worst! In all dynasties, the most wronged are loyal ministers' family members!" Liu Li said loudly: "You don't know this, do you?"

"False reasoning! Nonsensical reasoning!" Of course Liu Yu would not admit this, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of a rebuttal.

Throughout the dynasties, the most unlucky people were loyal ministers.The emperor was upset and killed his loyal ministers!The emperor didn't like it anymore, so he killed his loyal ministers!The emperor was so angry that he killed his loyal ministers!
After all, loyal ministers are used to kill and vent their anger.

When the emperor was calm, he remembered that he had killed a loyal minister by mistake, so he hurriedly made amends, and it was over by giving him a good name.The good name is obtained, but the price is too heavy.

It is still light to kill yourself.Seriously, the family members suffered and were sent to the border.More seriously, wives and daughters are sent to be prostitutes for people to have fun.This is not the most tragic thing, the most tragic thing is that the family is ransacked, the nine clans are punished, and the graves of the ancestors are dug.

Is it worth it to be a loyal minister?
"You claim to be a loyal minister, how can you compare with Long Feng and Bigan?" Liu Li continued to question: "Bigan gave his heart to King Zhou, isn't he not loyal enough? What is the result? King Zhou didn't even look straight at him If he said he would kill him, he would kill him."

Liu Yu opened his mouth, unable to answer.

Bigan's loyalty is a role model through the ages. Although Liu Yu prides himself on being a loyal minister, he is far inferior to Bigan.

"Our Liu family has only two seedlings left. If we are exterminated because of this, we will have no children and grandchildren. Are you worthy of our ancestors?" Liu Li asked again.

"This..." Liu Yu was discouraged when he thought that the Liu family was not prosperous.

"Let me tell you again, the emperors of all dynasties did not care about loyal ministers..." Liu Li's words were interrupted by Liu Yu.

"Nonsense. Loyal ministers are the pillars of the country. The late emperor repeatedly said that loyal ministers are needed." Liu Yu strongly disagreed with this statement.

"Wrong, you are very wrong!" Liu Li directly vetoed it, saying: "The emperors of all dynasties have only one thing to care about, and that is his country and society."

Speaking of which, I would like to cite a living example: "Look at Yang Jian, how he cared about his country and society. It was because he had a dream, what a nonsense, he killed Li Hun because of it. The whole family. Tell me, isn’t Li Hun loyal? Isn’t Li Hun a loyal minister?”

Liu Yu was speechless.

It is nonsense that things in dreams cannot be done accurately.Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty destroyed Li Hun's family because of this. Why did he do this?Because Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty would not let go of any factors that might threaten his country, even if it was nonsense.

This is a living example, Liu Yu was sent to death row for this, he really has no way to refute.

"So, loyal ministers are worthless and worth nothing." Liu Li finally concluded, "Even if you get a good name, what's the point if your family is ransacked and your family is wiped out? Reasoning?"

In the thousands of years of history, there are so many loyal ministers who have their homes ransacked, their families exterminated, and their ancestors' graves dug up!

Take out any history book and flip through it, and you can find a dozen.

"Father, if you are a loyal minister like you are now, the two seedlings of our Liu family will be killed by you sooner or later, and our Liu family will have no children and grandchildren sooner or later, you don't want to see it?" Liu Li induced like a wolf grandmother.

No one wants to cut off their children and grandchildren, and Liu Yu is no exception, sighing silently.

"Father, you have to remember that no matter what you do, you have to think that there are only two seedlings left in our Liu family." Liu Li reminded.

"I see." Liu Yu had to be taught, and he had to bow his head for the sake of his family.

It seems that this education is still somewhat effective, and we should instill this idea in him more in the future.For the first time, don't indoctrinate too much, just enough for him to digest.

"Father, do you know why you were sent to prison this time?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Li was going to give Liu Yu a good analysis, and wanted him to learn a lot from a pitfall.

"That's because the traitor Yang Su harmed me." Liu Yu's teeth itch with hatred.

"Wrong! Dad, you are so wrong." Liu Li shook his head and said.

"Li'er, you don't understand the affairs of the court, don't talk nonsense." Of course Liu Yu would not believe Liu Li's words.

"Father, you are a fan of the authorities, and I am a bystander, so I will tell you where you are wrong." Liu Li said: "Yang Su is certainly harmful to your heart, but the root cause is that you violated the emperor's wishes. You don't want to I think, the matter of the late emperor’s dream has long been over. Now that the old matter is brought up again, so many people are involved. Is there still a small number of people surnamed Li in the court? If such an important matter does not have the emperor’s permission, Uncle Ma Even if he has the courage to conspire, he doesn't dare to talk about it."

"Yeah." Liu Yu is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, but he is a fan of the authorities.Now, after being reminded by Liu Li, if you think about it carefully, there are many things that are wrong.

"What kind of person is Li Yuan?" Liu Li continued to analyze, saying: "Li Yuan comes from a thousand-year-old family, the Li family in Longxi. This family has existed since the Qin Dynasty. In history, there have been famous generals like Li Xin and Li Guang. The Southern and Northern Dynasties were emperors, and one side was divided, so one can imagine how powerful he is. Besides, he is still the emperor's cousin, and the emperor values ​​him very much. If the emperor does not allow it, will Uncle Ma dare to kill him?"

"It makes sense." The more Liu Yu thought about it, the more he felt it was reasonable, and he was a little puzzled. He said, "But why did the emperor attack Li Yuan? Could it be for the Li family's wealth in Longxi?"

"The reason is beyond our knowledge. However, I don't think it is the property of the Li family in Longxi." Liu Li shook his head and said, "The Li family in Longxi is deeply rooted. Even with the power of the royal family, without sufficient evidence, He didn't dare to do anything. The first emperor's dream was originally criticized, and the matter of destroying Li Hun's family was criticized by others. With the emperor's knowledge, he would never use such nonsense to deal with the Longxi Li family. He will deal with it. Only Li Yuan is alone."

Although Emperor Sui Yang was the king of subjugation, he was a very intelligent person, and he would not use the dream of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty as an excuse to deal with the Li family of Longxi.

"Li'er, I didn't realize that you still have such a vision, not bad, not bad." A smile appeared on Liu Yu's face, and he was very appreciative.

Liu Yu didn't think of these things, but Liu Li thought of them. As a father, he was very pleased.

"It's just why the emperor wanted to attack Li Yuan?" Liu Yu frowned and thought.

"We have no way of knowing the details, but I think Li Yuan has something that the emperor urgently needs, and Li Yuan is unwilling to offer it to the emperor, so the emperor has no choice but to do so." Liu Li said: "This thing is not trivial."

As the king of a country, can the things that Emperor Sui Yang likes be ordinary things?Not to mention, Emperor Sui Yang used such low-level methods, one can imagine how amazing this is.

"As a father, I understand it. As a father, I am really confused. I didn't understand the meaning of the emperor. He forced himself to stand out and was taken advantage of by Yang Su, which caused such a disaster." Liu Yu also figured it out. He wanted to die this time. Can't blame others.

"From this point of view, the emperor definitely wants me to die. Li'er, I can no longer take care of you as a father. You must take good care of yourself and honor your mother." Liu Yu's tears rolled in his eyes, very sad.

"Father, don't worry, I'll find someone to save you." Liu Li said.

"Save me?" Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and then he was sad again: "If General Pei Renji is in the court, maybe he can try it."

Throwing him into death row was not only Yang Su's revenge, but also Emperor Sui Yang's intention. Who would dare to go against the intention of these two people and take great risks to save Liu Yu?Therefore, Liu Yu thought to himself that he was doomed.

"Just ask Yang Su to save you." Liu Li said.

"Crack!" Liu Yu slapped Liu Li on the back of the head, and scolded, "Li'er, have you lost your mind? This old thief Yang Su wants me to die. He sent me to death row. How can he save me?" I?"

Liu Li rubbed the back of his head without explaining, and left quickly.
