Chapter 145 The gentleman repays his kindness
History is bound to happen with humans
Xie Yi suddenly thought of this serious question, and he always felt that he was just a passerby in this early Tang history.
As long as you grasp the direction of the wheel of history and stand in a good position, you will be invincible in the future.
Is this necessarily the case
At this moment, Xie Yi suddenly realized that he was not just a spectator, but a real participant in this history, and had even played a role and influence.
If there was no self, Li Zhi might have been dead; if there was no self, the Tang Dynasty would not have had any food without starvation; if there was no self, the Tang Dynasty would not have had any food to be hungry; if there was no self,
I am not an unknown man, but a bachelor of the Hongwenguan in the Tang Dynasty, and a chief of the King of Jin Dynasty.
Recently, there have been quite a storm in the court because of myself, and these are no longer just butterfly effects.
The course of history may change due to its own arrival and participation. Li Chengqian may not be deposed, and Li Zhi will not be the future Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
Everything has variables
Then it may not work if you want to rely on Li Zhi, the big tree, and wait for the future.
Because of the variables, everything in the future becomes uncertain. It doesn’t matter if it only concerns status, honor and favor, but now it is related to life and wealth.
Will offend the crown prince of the current dynasty, the crown prince of the country have a good end in the future?
For future safety, it seems that "the matter is man-made", shake the East Palace, or participate in the ranks of wavering
This behavior seems to be very inauthentic, and even a bit "abnormal", but in the face of survival, status, fame, fortune and wealth, moral integrity does not seem to be important.
In an instant, Xie Yi suddenly understood why so many people in history had been stolen and involved in party struggles. Sometimes they even bet on their wealth and lives, participate in mutinies, rebellions, and rebellions.
It is to take the chestnut from the fire, but not all to seek wealth and danger. Some people may be very similar to themselves. They are inadvertently forced to the same position. They are unable to avoid it. If they want to survive the crisis safely and maintain their glorious status, they can only take a single bet.
Xie Yi couldn't help but sigh. He seemed to be in this situation now.
If you offend the prince inadvertently, even if there is a misunderstanding in the middle, it may be difficult to solve it. According to ordinary logic, the prince will not have his own good results in the future ascending the throne.
It is difficult to expect Li Chengqian to clear his grudges with a smile. It is probably difficult to forgive him. His Royal Highness does not seem to have inherited his father's broad mind.
So it seems that only
Xie Yi thought of "stormy waves" in his heart, and then asked himself softly, maybe someone hoped that he would be like this.
This is probably what the real messenger behind this matter thought about.
Is it a scheming behind the scenes? Think about it carefully. Maybe there is no conclusive answer, but it is not difficult to find some clues.
For example, the people who mainly called for beating and killing him this time were people from the Eastern Palace, the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County and the Wei family in Jingzhao; of course, there are also several interesting details.
For example, the testimony of King Li Tai of Wei and the housekeeper Liu Xuan seems insignificant, but it is extremely important. If you reason in reverse, this is probably the key breakthrough.
I met Du Xijun in Luoyang Palace and put on a lantern. I saw the "father Du" above. I felt strange. When necessary, I launched an investigation based on this suspicious point.
Li Chonghui, the main force promoted by this time, seemed to be very close to King Li Tai of Wei, and seemed to have been under the mercy or assignment of some kind of force.
King Li Tai of Wei seemed to have not participated in it, but he seemed to be present in many places. For example, in Huaiyang, the person who found out that Du Xijun's identity was actually Zheng Bin, and Zheng Bin had presided over the construction of the Yique Buddhist shrine in Luoyang. Who he was, it seemed to be clear at a glance.
King Li Tai of Wei is definitely not clean
He did not participate in the impeachment of himself and put a deception. But there may be elements behind everything, his plans.
What a bastard
Xie Yi cursed in his heart, why is His Highness the King of Wei so vicious? He has no grudges and no grudges with him.
Thinking of this, Xie Yi suddenly felt shocked. He seemed to have had some small conflicts with King Li Tai of Wei in Luoyang. Could it be that because of this trivial matter, he held a grudge against him and worked so much to deal with him.
What kind of belly do Li Shimin's sons have?
The behavior is even more bizarre and inexplicable.
This inexplicably offended the two legitimate princes. One of the current legitimate princes is the most popular successor.
If you offend these two, the consequences can be imagined
Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there were almost no court officials who dared to offend these two people at the same time, and he was a precedent.
If someone else was afraid, he would be frightened or even anxious, but Xie Yi did not, because he knew that there was a third possibility besides this.
King Li Zhi of Jin is still young, and some things should not be broken too early, and it may not be the most suitable, let alone a sure thing; but the worst is that there is His Highness of the King of Wu.
To be honest, I really have to thank King Li Ke of Wu this time;
To put it carefully, I already owe Li Ke a second favor. When I saved Du Xijun in Dongshi, I never had the opportunity to thank him. Not long after, I even took the blame for the retrial of Du Fuwei, which also saved myself to some extent.
According to Zheng Liwan's description, Cen Wenben also contributed to this matter, and it might even be that Mr. Cen went to find Li Ke, and even instructed him to do it.
It's really complicated to think about it
Cen Wenben worked so hard to help, even violated the ethics that the central minister should have. He contacted the prince privately just because he was from the south like him.
If this is true, then the local protectionism and unity spirit of the Tang Dynasty will be unprecedented and no one will come after it.
What is the reason for this? It seems that if necessary, it still needs to be explored in detail.
As for Li Ke, he did this not entirely out of the so-called "public intention". Who can be born to be a polite and obedient? What about a prince? Not to mention a prince who is extraordinary and outstanding in talent.
No matter what original intention he has, it is an indisputable fact that he saves himself. Being grateful is the basic principle of being a human being, and he should repay it himself.
But how to repay
He surrendered to his command and helped him seize the position of crown prince Xie Yi smiled gently. He would never have been careless in this matter.
If you think about it carefully, it is better not to have contact with King Li Ke of Wu at present or in the future. Otherwise, Li Shimin should doubt whether this matter was premeditated or collusional.
It was originally innocent, but it would be unworthy if you were subjected to unnecessary suspicion. As for these two favors, you will have a chance to repay them sooner or later. It would be too late for a gentleman to repay his kindness for ten years.
Speaking of thanks and repaying kindness, the person who should be most grateful and repaying this time should be Zheng Liwan
How should I repay this Jue Shu who had wisdom and beauty at that time? Do you agree with her body?
To be continued.
