Chapter 4 Men's Responsibilities
Chapter 4 Men's Responsibilities
Migrating thousands of miles is not traveling in mountains and rivers, not traveling by car, not to mention romantic poetry and distant places.
In this era of inconvenient transportation and wild animals running around, traveling thousands of miles is considered a relatively heavy punishment. Many prisoners never reach their destinations, are eaten by wild animals halfway, or fall off the cliff and die.
Even if lucky star Gaozhao goes to the exile area, he is only a commoner. If he is forced to participate in local labor, he will not only be bullied by the local people, but even the most basic food and medical care cannot be guaranteed. One foot into the gate of hell.
Having read some books in his previous life, Li Qinzai roughly understood what exile in Lingnan represented.
Strictly speaking, traveling thousands of miles is regarded as a "half-death sentence". When a person leaves Chang'an, whether he lives or dies depends on his birth date.
For the upcoming result, Li Qinzai of course refused in his heart.
He came to the front hall slowly, and his father Li Siwen was already sitting in the hall waiting for him.
Seeing Li Qinzai walking in, Li Siwen's eyes widened, and an unknown fire suddenly burst into his heart.
No matter when and where he saw this son, Li Siwen's emotions were always rich and layered, from disappointment, to disgust, to anger, to indifference.
Without any positive emotions, seeing his heart is full of negative energy.
Countless nights in the dead of night, Li Siwen looked up at the sky and looked at the moon and sighed sadly. Giving birth to such a thing was the biggest mistake in his life. In the past 20 years since Li Qinzai was born, Li Siwen's quality of life has dropped a lot, but his blood pressure has risen a lot .
On that night when the flowers bloomed and the cicadas sang, if he had retreated decisively at the moment before he trembled, and shot a bag of descendants against the wall, how wonderful and happy Li Siwen's life would be now.
Thinking of this, Li Siwen stared at Li Qinzai more and more unkindly, and even Li Qinzai's walking posture felt extremely glaring.
Li Qinzai was unaware of his father's rich mood swings at the moment, he just walked down the steps calmly, removed his shoes and entered the hall, and bowed awkwardly to Li Siwen.
"My lord, Father." Li Qinzai said in a low voice.
Li Siwen gave him a cold look, and then remained silent.
Li Qinzai lowered his head, the front hall fell into a brief silence, the air seemed to be stagnant, and the atmosphere between father and son had never been so cold.
After a long time, Li Siwen finally broke the silence.
"The 23 memorials on Yushitai even impeached the Li family. They all used the matter of the flying horse jade carving to impeach your grandfather. He said that his power was too heavy and his children were arrogant. Nizi, you did a good job!"
Li Qinzai sighed silently, I am really just taking the blame...
"Yes, I know my mistake."
Li Siwen was taken aback for a moment, surprised by Li Qinzai's honest attitude of admitting his mistakes.
Li Qinzai in the past was not so honest, no matter what mistakes he made, he was justified and justified, and he could always find excuses for his mistakes.
After calming down, Li Siwen said again: "This morning, Your Majesty announced your grandfather to enter the palace and gave him a banquet. Your Majesty had a great chat with your grandfather, recalling the great contributions your grandfather made to the Tang Dynasty when he assisted Emperor Taizong. , the Son of Heaven was deeply moved, wept unceasingly, and even toasted your grandfather three cups of wine..."
Li Qinzai didn't understand why Li Siwen suddenly mentioned this, he was just a dandy with no official position, and he didn't care about court affairs at all.
However, as a junior, Li Qinzai knew that he had to play the role of a fan.
"And then?" Li Qinzai asked.
"What then?"
"Your Majesty respects my grandfather three cups of wine, and then?"
Li Siwen gave him a cold look, and said: "No, after having a banquet with the emperor, your grandfather retired from the palace."
Li Qinzai was stunned for a long time, and the matter was out of his mind, so the monarch and his ministers had a drink and chatted some gossip, and then they were gone?
What is the difference between this and the barbecue stand drinking cold beer and grilling skewers a thousand years later and bragging about the awesomeness of the year?
Li Qinzai asked cautiously: "The matter of the flying horse jade carving... has the emperor mentioned it?"
The anger in Li Siwen's heart burst out.
"You beast, you still have the guts to mention this!" Li Siwen shouted angrily, then looked around, obviously looking for a weapon in his hand.
Li Qinzai's complexion changed, he took a few steps back, and said, "Father, calm down, if you hit me, I'll run away, and we won't be able to talk about business."
Li Siwen's movements froze, thinking of the purpose of calling this evil animal, he immediately held back his anger.
With a heavy snort, Li Siwen sat down again, and said coldly: "The emperor didn't mention a word about the flying horse jade carving. When I had a banquet with your grandfather, I only remembered the demeanor of Emperor Taizong back then, and only talked about your grandfather's achievements. After the banquet, it's easy." end."
Li Qinzai frowned: "Not a word?"
Li Siwen hummed: "I didn't mention a word, this is definitely not a good thing, I'm afraid the emperor can't bear the courtiers' discussion..."
Looking at Li Qinzai with complicated eyes, Li Siwen said: "You must be prepared. This time you will not be able to escape. It may be a foregone conclusion to travel thousands of miles. The emperor's banquet is probably to reveal this intention to your grandfather. Maybe Dali Temple soon I'm going to ask you."
Li Siwen's eyes were full of disappointment, he didn't beat or scold Li Qinzai, but Xiao Ran sighed.
"Since childhood, your grandfather and old man have spoiled you too much, and let you mess around with willfulness, but you have made more and more crooked friends, and you have become more and more domineering outside, and finally caused a catastrophe, which was beyond control. Today's catastrophe , it's your retribution, and it's also my Li family's retribution..."
"Qin Zai, don't blame this old man for being cruel. There is nothing I can do to you, but the Li family has a large number of people, so I can't be burdened because of you..."
Li Siwen turned his head away, not daring to look directly into Li Qinzai's eyes, and sighed sadly: "You... Prepare, maybe there will be a decree in a few days, take care of yourself after leaving home, three to five years, three to five years later... "
Li Siwen couldn't continue, but Li Qinzai's expression remained calm.
The middle-aged man in front of him was his father, and this father said the words of giving up on himself face to face.
But Li Qinzai's heart did not fluctuate.
The blood relationship cannot be denied. Originally, being abandoned by relatives should be very heartbreaking and angry, but Li Qinzai didn't have any emotions, as if he was just listening to a stranger tell something that had nothing to do with him.
In his mind, the father in front of him was just a stranger.
It's only natural for a stranger to give up on himself, so what emotions can he have?
The disaster is caused by oneself, and the responsibility is of course borne by oneself.
if not?Holding Li Siwen's thigh and begging?
In his previous life, Li Qinzai graduated from university and came to work. He has been in the society for more than ten years. He bowed to his boss and laughed with his clients. He still smiled like an obedient and filial son after drinking alcohol on his face.
Unable to pay the rent, the landlord threw the luggage out, and squatted alone in the dark corridor, eating cold steamed buns while heartlessly calling his girlfriend to tell nasty jokes.
If only one character can be engraved on a person's tombstone after death, then the word "tired" must be engraved on Li Qinzai's tombstone.
All kinds of experiences are not great, and there is no humiliation, but the suffering that a grown man should bear.
No matter how hard it was, no matter how many times he was trampled into the dirt and was as humble as a dog, he never complained to his parents.
It is the most basic responsibility of a man to retract the hand stretched out to his parents after adulthood.
This life, too.
Looking at the strange father in front of him, Li Qinzai suddenly smiled, a brighter smile than ever before.
"Father, my child understands. I will take care of the disaster I caused, and I will not implicate the Li family."
Li Siwen looked at him in shock, and the movement of stroking his beard froze.
At this moment, Li Qinzai showed responsibility and maturity that he had never seen in his life.
Strange, but also heartache.
The son in front of him suddenly became very strange. The young man who once got into trouble and only knew how to evade, beg for mercy and even roll and roll, now stood still like a pine and cypress in the snow, telling him with a tall and straight figure that he could bear the burden.
The images in my mind flashed quickly, from Li Qinzai's babbling when he was young, to the willful and arrogant childhood, to the domineering and arrogant childhood...
Only Li Qinzai at this moment is very strange.
Is it because the disaster I caused this time is too big, too big to be dealt with and irreversible, so I grew up overnight?
Li Siwen suppressed the thoughts in his heart, thinking of the consequences of this trouble, he suddenly felt lost.
After Li Qinzai finished speaking, he saluted him, turned and walked out of the front hall.
Li Siwen stared at his back, and suddenly stopped him.
"Qin Zai."
Li Qinzai stopped.
The light in Li Siwen's eyes was like burnt lamp oil, gradually dimming.
"If you had taken on this responsibility a day earlier, the old man would have risked his life to keep you down..."
With his eyes turning red, Li Siwen sighed in a low voice: "...It's too late, too late."
A big mistake has been made, and the outcome is set, no matter how hard it is to undo.
The mechanism of appealing for collection, recommendation, and starting point recommendation has changed. It is becoming more and more difficult for an author like me who does not manage readers very much. I can only rely on old and new friends to help promote and promote, thank you!
