Li Yuanji was a little nervous and a little excited for a while.
If Li Gaoqian is also a time traveler, then he will have a similar person in this era. In that case, he will not be so lonely, and he can talk to a similar person about some thoughts that he cannot express to outsiders.
It's just that this kind of person seems to be a bit useless. After traveling through time, not only did he not mix with each other, but he became a marginalized person...
"Hey, Nizi, my father is talking to you, what are you thinking about?"
Li Yuan's voice sounded at an inappropriate time, with a hint of warmth and anger in it, interrupting Li Yuanji's meditation.
Only then did Li Yuanji realize that his thoughts were a bit stuck just now, so he ignored Li Yuan and immediately said with a smile: "Since father thinks Li Gaoqian is suitable, let him give Li Gaoqian a try. But after calling him back to Beijing, I need to see him
His side."
Li Yuan said suspiciously: "He is just a useless person. What do you do when you see him?"
Listening to Li Yuan's name for Li Gaoqian, you can tell that Li Yuan is still worried about Li Gaoqian's previous escape from battle, and he has not forgotten it to this day.
It's no wonder that Li Gaoqian stayed in the position of Lingzhou governor for the rest of his life.
This was completely remembered by Li Yuan, and he was equated with a waste by Li Yuan. It would be strange if he could be promoted.
However, whether he is a waste or not has nothing to do with whether he is a time traveler.
So I still have to meet him and confirm whether he is a time traveler.
If so, then you can find a way to dig into it, and you may get many unexpected gains.
Then imprison him and share various secrets, while ensuring that he will not leak the secrets or do anything bad, so that he will not appear so lonely.
However, this matter must not be told to Li Yuan, so Li Yuanji pretended to be relaxed and said: "I just want to understand and see what kind of person he is?"
Li Yuan was stunned, a little disgusted, and said with disgust: "What is there to know about him? He is greedy for life and afraid of death. He escapes from the battlefield and kills Zhongliang. All conditions are enough for me to kill him quickly.
If he had not captured Gao Junya in the past, had great achievements in Wang Wei, pacified Huoyi, and besieged Chang'an, I would have killed him long ago."
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I remember when you raised the army, he was the number one vanguard under your command. He worked for you through life and death and gained a lot of credit. After the siege of Chang'an, he even ranked among all the military officials with the most credit.
Why did he become timid and greedy for life after you established the Tang Dynasty?
Have you never doubted it?"
When Li Yuan heard this, he was stunned again. This time he was stunned for a long time before his tone became uncertain and he pretended to be careless and said: "What else can there be? It's just that he has made great achievements and has an identity, so he starts to cherish his body.
"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Have you ever seen similar situations in other people?"
Li Yuan was stunned again, this time for longer, and did not speak for a long time.
Li Yuanji smiled and continued: "With great merit and status, there are people who cherish their lives, but he seems to be the only one like him?"
Li Yuan slowly came back to his senses, his eyes became deep, and he said in a faint tone: "You mean he is hiding his clumsiness?"
This is the only thing Li Yuan can think of.
Because he has never experienced time travel, he will naturally not think in this direction when encountering things, but will only think in a direction that he can understand.
As for what Li Gaoqian did, there was only one thing he could understand, and that was hiding his clumsiness.
It is easy to understand why Li Gaoqian wanted to hide his clumsiness.
Because after the founding of the country, all dynasties had precedents of taking advantage of heroes.
As the most meritorious military minister of the Tang Dynasty at that time, he had a high chance of being operated on. In order to save his life, he began to make mistakes and hide his clumsiness, which is reasonable.
According to historical records about him, it is reasonable to say that he was hiding his clumsiness.
Because he was the only one among the heroes of Yuanmou in Taiyuan who lived until the Yonghui Dynasty, that is, after Li Zhi ascended the throne, and died of old age.
In the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he made a mistake and retreated bravely, causing him to lose his more prominent status and greater wealth, but it gave him a longer lifespan and a more stable life.
If he had not made a mistake and chosen to continue to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, he would not only have to face Li Yuan's defense, but also face the changes of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and also face Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Zhi and others' efforts to seize the throne.
misfortune.
During these changes, if he made a wrong step in the investigation, it might cost him or his whole family's life.
So he anticipated these in advance and chose to hide his clumsiness, which was also a wise way to protect himself.
"But at that time I was only in Guanzhong and Bingzhou, and there were still many powerful enemies that had not been defeated. There was no need for him to worry that I would use up all my resources and hide myself. Why should I hide my clumsiness?"
Li Yuan didn't wait for Li Yuanji's answer and asked a new question.
When Li Yuan first established the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty indeed only had two areas: Guanzhong and Bingzhou. In addition to these two areas, there were other areas under the control of anti-kings.
Whether Li Yuan could dominate the world and whether he could win the only deer-cutting knife in the world, Li Yuan probably had no idea at the time.
Therefore, it is a bit unreasonable to say that Li Gaoqian started making mistakes and hiding his clumsiness at that time.
Faced with Li Yuan's question, Li Yuanji came up with an answer after thinking for a while, and immediately asked: "If he had not made a mistake at that time, would you have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility?"
Li Yuan was stunned and nodded without hesitation.
At that time, Li Gaoqian was the number one vanguard under him. If something happened to him, he would definitely let Li Gaoqian take the lead.
Li Yuanji continued: "Then if he defeats Liu Wuzhou, Chai Jie, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others, how will his father arrange for him?"
Li Yuan sat there in a daze, unable to say a word.
How else can we arrange it? Of course we have to find a reason to kill him.
After all, he had already won the highest merit as a military official at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. If he were to get the credit for annihilating Liu Wuzhou and others, then he would have achieved so much that he would not be able to be destroyed by then.
The Li family cannot tolerate the existence of such an awesome outsider.
Li Yuanji knew the answer in Li Yuan's heart through Li Yuan's reaction, and immediately said with emotion: "This is probably the reason why he hides his clumsiness."
Li Yuan's eyes widened little by little and he said, "Are you saying that when I founded the Tang Dynasty, he guessed that I would dominate the world and aspire to be the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan?"
Li Yuanji nodded slowly.
Li Yuan said in horror: "How is this possible?!"
Even if Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang and others were resurrected, it would be impossible for them to conclude such a thing after a force has just established itself.
So it makes sense for Li Yuan not to believe it.
However, if this person is a time traveler, then everything is possible.
Travelers already know the history, so it is very easy to choose a suitable node to retreat bravely.
"Why is it impossible? There are still people in this world who can predict the unknown. For example, don't the people in Qintian Prison often tell you that they knew for five hundred years before and five hundred years later?"
In order to persuade Li Yuan, Li Yuanji approached Qin Tianjian to persuade him.
Li Yuan was frightened and curled his lips with disdain: "Can you believe the lies told by Qin Tian Jian?!"
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Even if you can't believe Qin Tianjian's lies, my father can't deny that there are indeed people in this world who can predict the future, right?"
Li Yuan sat there with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
For a moment, Li Yuanji clearly saw a hint of murderous intent in Li Yuan's eyes.
It seems that when Li Yuan faced the unpredictable god, his first thought was not to seek advice from the god, but to kill the demon who might affect his mind and the stability of the Tang Dynasty.
Facts have proved that not all people in power pursue immortality, and not all people in power expect ghosts and gods to come and give them some enlightenment.
On the contrary, there are some people in power who are quite vigilant about things that may deviate from their short-term gains.
"I don't deny that there are people in this world who can predict the future, but I don't believe that Li Gaoqian is this kind of person."
After being silent for a long time, Li Yuan suddenly spoke and commented on Li Gaoqian in a very firm tone.
Li Yuanji was very satisfied with Li Yuan's wisdom in being vigilant in the face of gods and men. When faced with Li Yuan's words, he smiled and said: "I don't believe Li Gaoqian is this kind of person, so I want to meet him to confirm."
He is not this kind of person."
Li Yuan looked at his son with burning eyes and asked in a deep voice: "What if he is?"
Li Yuanji chuckled and said: "Of course I will send him down and let him be buried next to his father's mausoleum. Only his mother, who has already reached Jiuquan, can enjoy his blessing."
Although this was meant to make fun of his late mother, Li Yuan was very satisfied with this answer.
There was a smile on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth, but his face turned into a straight face and he shouted: "You are so impudent, you rebellious son, you actually made fun of your late mother."
Li Yuanji smiled and apologized: "I know I was wrong..."
Li Yuan stretched out his hand, pointed at his son's nose and said scornfully: "You will realize your mistake? You are a traitor!"
After saying this, Li Yuan waved his hands in disgust and said, "You can get out!"
He was too lazy to bother with his son's desire to get in touch with Li Gaoqian.
As long as his son can stick to his true heart and not be fooled by the lies about foretelling and eternal life, he doesn't care what his son wants to do.
His son is now the leader of the Tang Dynasty. He knows exactly what problems will arise if he is confused by the prophet and the eternal gaze.
For a period of time, he was also confused by the prophet and the eternal vision, but his experience made him quickly break away from these things and see through the essence of these things. He no longer believed in these things and no longer believed in them.
Be confused by these things.
He has served two emperors successively. He has seen Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty when he was the wisest, and he has also seen Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty stably occupying the ninth position and holding great power. He has also seen Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty become terminally ill and unable to be saved by gods.
He had also seen Emperor Sui Yang when he was high-spirited, he had also seen Emperor Sui Yang when he was down and out, and he had even seen the head of Emperor Sui Yang, who was so high in front of him in the past, being brought to him like an offering.
People who were once like him, ranked ninth and fifth, and held great power in the world, not only failed to live long, they could not even live long.
Some divine men who had shown their ability to predict the unknown many times in front of them could not let them clearly see the future of the former Sui Dynasty, let alone change the future of the former Sui Dynasty. The former Sui Dynasty still fell into his hands.
Under such circumstances, how could he believe in those unpredictable prophets and things that would last forever?
