There is a sad fact that Li Jingye is the heir to the British Dukedom, but Li Ji does not like him.
The reason why I don't like to see him is not because of Li Jingye's sudden disaster this time, but because it happened a long time ago.
It is said that Li Ji has a good physiognomy. When Li Jingye was more than ten years old, Li Ji noticed that there was a traitor in the back of Li Jingye's head. He often told people that this guy was a hidden version of a traitor, and he was afraid that he would bring trouble to the whole family in the future.
So one time when Li Ji was hunting, he ordered Li Jingye to ride into the mountains to drive away the prey. Then Li Ji ordered the mountains to be set on fire, hoping to burn his grandson alive.
As a result, Li Jingye was not only lucky, but also smart. When surrounded by fire, Li Jingye killed the horse, took out the horse's internal organs, and hid in the horse's belly. The fire cooked the horse, but did not burn him. Escaped a fatal disaster.
Li Ji saw that he couldn't be killed in this way, and also knew that God's will was like this, so he had no choice but to let him go.
Of course, this story was recorded in a collection of notes and novels called "Jiahua of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Li Ji's original words were, "I won't do this, otherwise anyone who destroys my family will do this."
The story is just a story, it can be regarded as an unofficial rumor, and the truth or falsehood is a matter of opinion.
In fact, Li Ji is not that mysterious, and Li Jingye's performance... is not very smart either.
As the eldest grandson of the Li family, Li Jingye must inherit the British Dukedom. However, Li Jingye's performance in recent years has not been very good. Li Ji, who has strict requirements for heirs, is inevitably disappointed, and he cannot change heirs at will, so he Li Jingye's attitude is naturally not too kind.
Li Jingye stepped on Li Jingye's face with his big foot, and Li Ji showed no mercy. He didn't know whether it was to avenge his beloved peony, or simply because he felt that his grandson was not living up to expectations, so he stepped on it a few more times to vent his anger.
Li Jingye screamed when he was stepped on, and the scene he expected to be greeted and loved by his grandfather after returning home did not appear.
After stepping a few times, Li Ji finally stopped, but his face still looked ugly.
"You evil beast, if you don't treat me well as your Sima in Liuzhou, you will have to mess with women. If you mess with women and don't know how to clean up the consequences, someone will take advantage of you. You deserve to be imprisoned."
Li Jingye sobbed: "Jing Chu told his grandson that there are outsiders trying to deal with our family this time. Even if our grandson doesn't make any mistakes, others will eventually get the handle on our family..."
Li Ji was furious: "You dare to be stubborn! I have many children and grandchildren in the Li family. Why don't others take advantage of them, but they take advantage of you? It's not because you are careless and have too many excuses. If others don't take advantage of you, who will take advantage of you?" ?”
Li Jingye was full of grievances, but seeing his grandfather furious, he did not dare to talk back, so he could only lower his head and cry.
Li Qinzai was squatting outside the archway in the backyard, happily eating melons and watching the show. Unexpectedly, Li Ji changed the subject and pointed at Li Qinzai outside the archway: "Look at your cousin Jingchu, look at him!"
Li Qinzai was overjoyed. Will I finally become someone else's child?
Huh? No, it’s still my own child.
Li Ji pointed at Li Qinzai and shouted to Li Jingye: "If you don't learn from the good ones, you can learn from the bad ones. This bastard Jing Chu killed so many peonies for me, but you learned this from him!"
After saying that, Li Ji continued to hold the peonies in his hands, with a look of sadness that a white-haired person would give a black-haired person.
Li Qinzai and Li Jingye looked confused.
So, what’s the point? Is it praising or scolding?
After Anran felt sad for a while, Li Ji sighed, pointed at Li Qinzai outside the arch and shouted: "Get in here too."
Li Qinzai had no choice but to roll in obediently.
The two brothers stood side by side in front of Li Ji, with lowered eyebrows and a look that was heartbreaking.
Li Ji waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Enter the study!"
The three of them walked into the study and Li Qinzai closed the door.
Li Ji glared at the two of them and said coldly: "This incident is over. There was no danger, but there is nothing to be happy about. In the final analysis, it was our family's big tree that attracted trouble and caused unwarranted hostility."
Li Ji pointed at Li Qinzai and said angrily: "Especially you, you are more trouble-free than your dedication."
Li Qinzai was stunned: "Grandpa, my grandson's belt is not loose. Not only is it not loose, it is also tied tightly."
Li Jingye was so angry that he pushed him and said angrily: "That's enough for you! Is it interesting that you always bring this up?"
Li Ji said angrily: "That's enough for both of you!"
Shaking his head, Li Ji sighed sadly: "A plate of loose sand, a plate of loose sand! No wonder it was taken advantage of by outsiders."
After speaking, Li Ji continued: "In the final analysis, what happened this time is that Qin Zai accepted His Royal Highness as his disciple, and the trouble was laid long ago. Qin Zai, when you return to Ganjing Village, you might as well..."
Li Ji hesitated to speak, but Li Qinzai understood what he meant and immediately said seriously: "No."
Li Ji frowned: "The King of England is a member of the royal family. Even if you don't teach him knowledge, he won't have no books to read. Who among the gentlemen of Gongxue is not a great scholar in the world and is much better than you. Let the King of England return to Chang'an. What will happen to you?" It’s all good and harmless with him.”
Li Qinzai still shook his head and said firmly: "No."
"Grandpa, once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. Since your grandson accepted Li Xian as his disciple, as long as he does not make any big mistakes, he will be my disciple for the rest of his life."
"If my grandson drives him back to Chang'an to avoid trouble, not to mention that he himself can't survive, the other disciples will see it and despise him for following the crowd. The teacher's character is despised by his students. I Sooner or later, the teacher-student relationship with them will be severed."
"I don't want to spend the rest of my life under the contempt of students, and I believe grandpa doesn't want to see his grandson's conduct so despicable."
Li Jingye, who was sitting on his knees, his eyes lit up, patted Li Qinzai on the shoulder, and praised: "Good brother, show loyalty!"
Li Qinzai glanced at him: "That is the fifth young master of Yi Bo Yuntian. There is no such person in the world."
Unexpectedly, Li Jingye said resentfully: "You are loyal to your disciples, but why don't you also be loyal to your brothers?"
Li Qinzai said calmly: "If I don't show loyalty, cousin, you are still squatting in the prison of Dali Temple right now, maybe the three law departments should cut it off and send you to Lingnan to pick lychees."
Li Jingye frowned and thought about it, then nodded and said, "That's right, that's all. I recognize grandpa's peony."
The brothers came to whisper, but Li Ji sighed, with a happy smile in his eyes.
"That's all. Although Qin Zai is bad at small things, he is not bad at big things. You have such a temper, I can't force it. If you can be an upright person, even if you often cause disasters, it can't be said to be too bad."
Then he pointed at Li Jingye, and Li Ji said unceremoniously: "You can't compare to your cousin in this regard."
Li Jingye hurriedly and obediently admitted, and cast an affectionate look at Li Qinzai in a coy manner, "I want to learn from you", and winked in a way that made people laugh.
Li Qinzai wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
I don't know why, but there is a faint warmth surging in my heart.
No matter what this future hidden version of the rebel has done or what he will do in the future, at least the brotherhood is real.
He is a real family member of flesh and blood. No matter what happens in the future, Li Qinzai will use his strength to protect his family.
If ambition can make you grow into a towering tree, it's not a bad idea.
