Modern people have been educated in materialism, and most of them do not shy away from death.
Even in the romantic moments between flowers and moonlight, the girl will beat her chest with her fists and whisper "You are going to die", or in other places and in other ways, after a fierce moment, she will say "I am going to die".
What is there to avoid about death? Everyone has that day.
Ancient people were different. They were very taboo about this word.
Manager Song looked at Li Qinzai speechlessly, "You are so cruel to yourself in order not to see guests."
Li Qinzai was very irritable. He really didn't want to teach students, especially a group of princes and powerful children, who would be more troublesome to discipline.
He has a cold nature and does not want to disturb other people's lives, let alone being disturbed by others. Now a group of strangers suddenly come and forcefully participate in his life. From now on, he will have to sacrifice part of his time every day to deal with these strangers. How can Li Qinzai not
bother?
The so-called sudden death was just a momentary vent of anger. Since there was Li Zhi's imperial edict, Li Qinzai had to go out to see them.
Before he even walked out of the gate of the other courtyard, Li Qinzai's face was already full of unhappiness, and anyone could tell at a glance that he was in a bad mood.
When he came outside the gate, a group of children were standing outside, looking at him curiously.
Li Qinzai looked around and found that the oldest of the children was only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was about the same age as Qiao'er. There were about ten of them.
Surrounding them were a group of warriors dressed as generals, who were obviously escorting the children, and there were also several people who looked like eunuchs and housekeepers standing in the crowd.
Seeing Li Qinzai coming out, everyone fell into silence. The first prince stepped forward and bowed to Li Qinzai.
"The fourth prince, Li Sujie, pays homage to Mr. Li."
The naysaying prince in the back also stepped forward and bowed: "The seventh prince, Li Xian, pays homage to Mr. Li."
The prince took the lead in saluting, followed by a group of powerful children who followed suit and then reported to their homes.
Some of these people were born as generals, and some were born as civil servants. Speaking of their fathers and ancestors, they were all famous officials in Chang'an City.
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched a few times when he heard that everyone had come to his house. He especially glanced at the leaders, the fourth prince Li Sujie and the seventh prince Li Xiandao.
Li Sujie was crowned the King of Xun, and was born from Concubine Xiao Shu. After the incident of deposing the king and establishing Wu, Concubine Xiao Shu was hanged by Empress Wu. Her son Li Sujie was not affected, but was appointed as the governor of Shenzhou in Yaoling. But it can be imagined that he was in Empress Wu's mind.
status.
How could the enemy's son still be happy in Empress Wu's heart?
Li Xian, the seventh son of the emperor, was crowned King of England, the third son of Empress Wu, and his biological son.
Anyone who is familiar with history knows that the future Li Xian can be said to be a relatively famous emperor in Chinese history.
He is famous because his father Li Zhi is the emperor, his mother Wu Zetian is the emperor, his brother Li Dan is the emperor, his son Li Chongmao is the emperor, his nephew Li Longji is the emperor, and he himself is Tang Zhongzong and also the emperor.
His parents, brothers, nephews, all in the family are emperors, which is very strange.
The famous "Six Emperor Pills" refers to Li Xian.
Today's Li Xian is still just a prince, and the current crown prince is Empress Wu's eldest son Li Hong, who was enshrined in the first year of Xianqing.
The other children of the powerful were fine, but Li Qinzai's heart sank when he looked at the two princes.
One is the son of Empress Wu’s enemy, and the other is Empress Wu’s biological son. The two half-brothers, who share the same fate with each other, both came here to study...
Li Qinzai believed that Li Zhi would not arrange this for no reason. What was his intention?
Li Qinzai suddenly realized that this was no longer just teaching students, he seemed to be involved in court politics inexplicably.
So Li Qinzai hurriedly returned the gift, looked at everyone and said sincerely: "The two princes, and all the little brothers..."
"Li is not very talented and has little knowledge. He is really not qualified to teach you knowledge. Ancient books have already covered arithmetic. There is no need for Li to repeat it. You can't learn anything good from me. Your trip will be in vain, so please go back to Chang'an."
The words were polite, but the rejection was obvious. Li Qinzai didn't want to teach anyway.
He teaches Qiao'er because he is his own son. Why teach these idiots in front of him? Li Qinzai is not great enough to be a rural teacher.
Waving his hand, Li Qinzai had a fake smile on his face: "Go back, everyone, go back. Ah, when you return to Chang'an, you can tell His Majesty that Li Qinzai is just a deceitful person who steals fame and has no real ability at all. Please feel free to despise me...
"
Everyone looked at each other, looking a little at a loss.
This wave of operations was really unexpected. They thought it was a question of whether they were willing to learn it, but they didn't expect that they were not willing to teach them at all. Thinking about the disguise they used when they entered the bank just now, everyone suddenly felt more and more ashamed.
Li Sujie, the leader, was anxious.
Today, Li Sujie's position in the palace is very embarrassing. He is indeed a prince, but he is a prince who is not welcomed by Empress Wu.
His mother, Concubine Xiao Shu, was hanged to death by Empress Wu. The brutal and fierce battles in the harem inevitably affected him. Now Li Sujie is just enduring humiliation and living an ignoble life.
Finally, he got his father's order to let him come out of the palace to learn skills from Li Qinzai. For Li Sujie, this was the only way to get freedom from the palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Li Qinzai opened his mouth and welded his path to freedom.
died.
Li Sujie is twelve years old this year. In ordinary people, twelve years old is still an ignorant age.
But growing up in the palace, he was already very mature at the age of twelve. Especially after experiencing his mother being hanged, Li Sujie had learned about right and wrong, learned about tolerance and compromise, and learned about the difficulty of living.
"Mr. Li, Li Sujie sincerely wants to learn from you, please take him under his care." Li Sujie bowed his head, looking anxious.
Li Sujie had his own reasons, but others were not so eager.
Originally, they came here just for the purpose. They were not keen on studying. They were all children from high-ranking families. When someone rejected them, they stopped persisting and shamelessly begged him for forgiveness. They couldn't do it, which was not the way of a gentleman.
wind.
After everyone exchanged glances quickly, everyone, headed by King Li Xian of England, bowed to Li Qinzai, then said goodbye, turned around and left obediently.
Seeing everyone turning around, Li Sujie became more and more desperate. Everyone else had left, but he refused to leave.
Although Li Sujie is young, his inner subconscious seems to be telling him that only by grasping the life-saving straw in front of him can he have a chance of survival.
Li Qinzai watched everyone walk away with a smile, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they are all little brats who are easy to fool, so they were sent away with a few words. Their beautiful trash life was not disturbed, which is very good!
Add chicken legs tonight, one for myself and one for buckwheat.
Looking at Li Sujie standing alone at the door, Li Qinzai did not treat him differently, but showed him an apologetic smile and pretended that Li Sujie also left with everyone.
After laughing, he ordered the steward to close the door. Only Li Sujie was left standing alone outside the empty door.
In the evening, Qiao'er, who had been wilding in Zhuangzi all day, came back. The father and son had dinner, and Li Qinzai held Qiao'er in his arms and told him stories.
Storytelling is also a must-have parent-child activity between father and son every day.
Li Qinzai is also a father for the first time. He doesn’t know how to teach his children, so he can only copy the methods of his previous life, making toys, learning enlightenment, telling stories, etc. In addition, he also needs to take good care of his son’s food, clothing, housing and transportation, pay attention to nutrition, give him more company, etc.
.
Li Qinzai is trying his best to do what a father should and can do.
When Qiao'er grows up and picks up girls in the future, if he wants to act miserable in front of the girl, saying that his childhood was full of darkness, unhappiness, and life was miserable, Li Qinzai promises not to beat him to death.
It was already the beginning of winter, and a charcoal fire was lit in the front hall. The father and son nestled beside the charcoal fire. Today Li Qinzai told Qiao'er the story of the Calabash Baby.
When we were talking about the tense plot of the six children hiding themselves to save their grandfather, Manager Song came over rubbing his hands.
"Fifth Young Master, all the powerful sons have left during the day, but there is still one prince who has not left. I heard that he and his entourage pitched a tent at the entrance of the village, and it seems that he does not intend to leave..."
Li Qinzai's eyes flashed, thoughtfully: "Is this the fourth prince Li Sujie?"
"yes."
Li Qinzai was unmoved.
He is not Li Sujie's father and has no obligation to help Li Sujie, nor does he want to get involved in the harem fight. With his current status and weight, he cannot afford to offend Empress Wu.
"I'm just going to pretend I don't know about this, and you can go down." Li Qinzai waved.
Manager Song hesitated to speak, but still sighed, bowed and left.
The next day is another day of doing nothing, like every day. When you wake up and open your eyes, you don’t have to plan what you have to do today or what pressure you will face today.
Li Qinzai has no pressure. Except for the lack of a wife, his life is already perfect.
And the mother-in-law is not in a hurry about this matter. If she really can't find someone she likes, there is a beautiful and fragrant woman living not far from him. If it doesn't work, just give her an advantage.
In this kind of life, just ask if you are happy and successful?
It was evening again, and something bothered me.
Many of the princes and powerful disciples who left Zhuangzi to return to Chang'an yesterday have returned.
The scene was the same as yesterday, with hundreds of entourages escorting them. Li Xian and the powerful disciples all gathered at the entrance of the Li family courtyard with weeping faces.
If you look closely, you can see that some people have bright red slap marks on their faces. The younger ones are standing in front of the door, sobbing constantly.
Obviously, after these children were deceived by Li Qinzai, they were hit hard by their father's love again.
