Li Sujie and Li Shangjin carefully savored what Li Hong said. Although it seemed like a simple sentence, the more they savored it, the more they felt that it was very consistent with the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty today.
Just as Li Hong once said that those who fall behind will be beaten, the competition between countries is not just because of a keen sense of smell and a sense of self-belief from sitting in a well and looking at the sky, which ruins the good fortune of the country.
"In that case, I don't know that all the wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty, including the royal family members, may be eliminated in the torrent of changes in the times you mentioned." Li Shangjin held the The tea cup was turning back and forth, and he frowned and said.
"As the saying goes, no aristocratic family will ever appear in this world, but in the contemporary environment, will the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, or will the latter be able to catch up? In short, the interests will always be there The distribution is uneven, but if you go against the development of the times, no matter how hard you work, you will not be able to become a famous family in this great era." Li Hong continued to sip tea and continued to talk about the ups and downs of the noble families of the Tang Dynasty.
"But Kong and Yan have stood for hundreds of years without falling. Is it possible that they will also decline with the changes of the times? If so, wouldn't your so-called cultural invasion happen sooner or later..." Li Sujie took the exquisite teapot from Li Hong's hand and poured tea with herself.
"I don't know, I don't know what the outcome will be after going down this road, but I will do my best to obey fate. I hope that one day, the culture of our Datang will be able to form a strong force in the vast territory of our Datang. Cohesion and identity." Li Hong shook his head. No one knew whether the path he took was right or wrong.
But if you don’t leave, but just like the Confucians, only guarding the three-thirds of an acre of land, and govern the country with the mentality of being rich and peaceful, I am afraid that the original historical wheel of the Tang Dynasty will still not let go, even if it has deviated. The track is of Tang Dynasty.
Li Shangjin and Li Sujie looked at each other again. If even Li Hong didn't know what would happen if they went down this road, then they wouldn't have to think about it. But no matter what, at least from their perspective, it would be a big deal. Tang's future is definitely bright.
What's more, they don't want to worry unfoundedly. Just as Li Hong said, after he dies, no matter what happens to the Tang Dynasty, those are the affairs of his children and grandchildren, and there is no need to worry about them.
In the eyes of Li Hong, these things are not as important as in the eyes of others. Even under the influence of Li Hong, Li Zhe and Li Dan have become closer and closer to Li Hong's ideas. Then Just live in the moment.
Let future generations comment on your life and death names. You can't let yourself change things that are beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the people just because of other people's opinions, right
Don’t respect Confucianism or Taoism, don’t worship Buddha or love fame, just live an honest life and live your true self.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, but the three of you are here leisurely." Although Li Xian is one-armed, he has already become accustomed to it, so he walks as fast as he flies on the trail, and his body is like ordinary people, with a good balance.
"Is your matter settled?" Li Hong motioned to the palace maid to change the tea, and then personally brought a cup to Li Xian.
"No, it's early. I just met people from the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple. They are looking for you everywhere and want to ask you about the etiquette of worshiping my father tomorrow. Since you are not here, I will take matters into my own hands and keep everything simple. , How about it? By the way, I have to go back to Chang'an after tomorrow. Dashi and Prince Dajin of Japan can't afford to wait, and I've also thought about lending me Hua Meng or Mang Zhong tomorrow."
"What's wrong? You don't have anyone of your own? Not even anyone who can hit you?" Li Hong put the tea cup in front of Li Xian angrily, and the tea spilled a lot because of his excessive movements.
"It's different. Anyway, you have to lend me someone, otherwise I have to ask Bai Chun for someone when I return to Chang'an. In this case, I might as well ask you for someone now." Li Xian ignored Li Hong's attitude and put the tea on the table. He sniffed it with his nose and praised the tea.
Li Hong glanced at Li Xian speechlessly. How could he not understand Li Xian's thoughts? If he returned to Chang'an alone, he was afraid that he would not be at ease, so he found someone he trusted to watch beside him to reassure himself. rest assured.
"Then remember not to beat her too hard. Princess Dalai is still in Chang'an. If you find me then, you will make it very difficult for me. I can't afford to offend both parties." Li Hong raised his glass to Li from a distance. Xian gestured.
"Don't worry, I know it in my heart. Besides, the one who beat him is also yours, or Hua Meng. Even if the emperor's sister-in-law is held accountable by then, it has nothing to do with me and Li Xian, right?" Li Xian smiled. , drank the tea as wine, then glanced at Li Shangjin and Li Sujie and said.
When the two of them heard Li Xian's seemingly reasonable words, they were about to nod subconsciously when they suddenly felt a thrill in their hearts. They almost fell into the trap of Lao Liu.
Looking at Li Hong, he saw that his signature evil smile was gradually showing on Li Hong's mouth, as if he was waiting for the two of them to nod, and then deal with them.
"Anyway, if we find out that there are five of you, and two of you are close to each other, have too close contact, and are hiding something from me, then I will be blamed for being rude. At that time, whether I will act like an emperor or act like a brother, it depends on the nature of the matter," Li Hong said with a sneer.
These words were said in this slightly joking atmosphere, seemingly because of the joke about Li Xian selling Li Hong just now, but everyone knows that such words are both a joke and a warning.
The meaning of the joke is that after Li Xian pushed 625 and beat Prince Dajin, Princess Dalai came to investigate, and Li Hong was the one to take the blame. If it didn't work, they let Princess Dalai punish Hua Meng, but Hua Meng who is it? He has been serving beside me since he was five, three or four years old. Over the years, the four of them have taken turns to serve, and they have never changed. Who can still not understand the status of Hua and Meng in Li Hong's heart
And another level of warning is naturally related to the key to whether the six brothers can treat each other sincerely in the future.
At that time, if anyone dares to risk the world and do nothing, as Li Hong said, depending on the nature of the matter, he will also be held accountable as the emperor or his brother.
"I'm going too far. It's better to drink tea. Lao Liu, from now on, don't dig holes for us two. We almost fell into it." Li Shangjin glared at Li Xian. In the past few years, he and Prince Li Sujie Xiaoyao had been doing each other. It's good, but I don't want to be dealt with by Li Hong because of Li Xian's unintentional actions.
"I miss you too much." Li Xian didn't care at all about Li Hong's warning. For him now, this kind of warning, for some reason, actually gave him a feeling of enjoyment.
