Chapter 750: Planning to Seize the Inheritance (Part 2)
Power, money, beauty, and these three things in the world are basically no one to resist. It is not wrong to say that they are the original sins of human beings, because most of the sins in the world arise because of these three things.
Li Su didn't know why Li Zhi suddenly figured out that he wanted to fight for the prince. It probably was he who gave him hope. From this perspective, Li Su did something evil. He opened Pandora's box and released something called "Power Desire". Li Zhi finally became interested in power, and this interest became motivation, guiding him to climb to the peak of power desire step by step.
Li Su himself didn't know if he had done something wrong. He had been in this world for eight years. At first, he was just a bystander. With an extremely calm and indifferent gaze, he watched the wheels of history slowly move forward. At some point, Li Su's role gradually changed, from a bystander to a participant, and finally became the mastermind. Now he himself doesn't know whether every scratch on the trajectory of history is destined by God or someone who should not appear. Some trajectories are still the same, while others are obviously different.
No one understands Li Su's mood. In fact, he is not willing to interfere in history at all. As he gets older, his mentality is getting older. He desires countless times to be able to become himself in the nine years of Zhenguan, stay in the village peacefully, and stare at every sadness and joy, every good and evil that happened in Chang'an City with indifferent eyes. God gave him a second life, but took away his enterprising and ambition. He naturally felt that he came here because God gave him compensation, compensation for his short life in the previous life, and enjoyed his life in this life.
Since it is "enjoyment", of course it is impossible to be too ambitious. The kind of life that strives for success is absolutely nothing to do with "enjoyment". Li Su began to enjoy the second life given by God with peace of mind.
Everyone has their own way of living. No one can say that Li Su’s choice is wrong. His life is in his own hands.
He has always adhered to the attitude of an outsider and simply lived to his death in this peaceful and peaceful village. However, Li Su could not hide his light. At the beginning, he was unintentionally planting willows, and later he was intentionally planting flowers, he always thought that he was slowly pushing history, as if his shoulders were carrying a heavy mission in this life. Later, Li Su gradually realized that scenes of history that should have happened were slowly pushing him. Every time at a critical moment, there was always a force in guiding him to make the right choice.
The same is true for helping Li Zhi fight for the position of crown prince. Li Su decided to help him, not entirely because Li Zhi should have been the crown prince, but because he felt that Li Zhi was worthy of being the crown prince. The two were very different.
Unfortunately, Li Zhi is not qualified to be the prince from any perspective. He lacks too many things, which makes Li Su unable to help but be discouraged.
"I... may not have any other advantages." Li Zhi sighed dejectedly, his expression full of loneliness.
Li Su stood up and said with a slight look: "How can you be self-deprecating? Everyone has many highlights. Even a toilet chip has its advantages. How can you not have any advantages?"
Li Zhi's eyes lit up: "Although it is not very elegant to use me and toilet chips to compare it with each other, I think Brother Zizheng's words are still very reasonable. They all say that bystanders are clear. So please tell me, what are my advantages?"
Li Suyu was silent for a long time and sighed sadly: "Compared with the dead, you are at least still alive. This is the only advantage I can come up with. Why don't you think about it yourself?"
Li Zhi was anxious: "What's the advantage of 'living'! Brother Zizheng, you look down on me too much. I, I...at least I am well-behaved, obedient, and good-looking..."
Li Su sneered contemptuously: "In front of me, you are good-looking. I think you have good courage... Okay, let me be honest, if you want to compete for the position of prince, the best way is not to do anything. Wang Tai of Wei has so many disciples and staff, and has formed private parties in the court because he is qualified. At present, even your father thinks he is the most suitable candidate for the future prince. If you jump up and down inside, it will not only be of no use for planning, but will only cause trouble. If your father hates it, it will be good that you can save your life in this life, let alone fight for the prince."
Li Zhi said unwillingly: "Does nothing be done, will the position of prince fall on me for no reason? What is the reason?"
Li Su had to patiently reason with him: "Look, in your father's eyes, you are just a little kid who just solved the problem of using the toilet alone... In my eyes, it's the same. Of course, maybe in everyone's eyes, and look at your daily performance, it's not necessarily different from other little kids. I'm sure that if someone praises you, you will blush for a long time. If others praise you a little more, you might think that others are scolding you..."
Li Zhi's face was as dark as ink: "…………”
"So, in terms of intelligence, you are not outstanding among all the princes of your father. Please forgive my integrity. You are the kind of person who is barely at the bottom. You can't even catch a shot when you throw them in so many princes of your father. Just the little trick you play with can't be seen through at a glance. By playing tricks to fight for the prince, your final outcome will at most allow you to choose a more comfortable way of death..."
After all the words, Li Zhi's head was smoking and his face turned red and white.
"Against your connections and power among court officials, it is well known that if you want to fight for the prince, you must first get the support of many important officials in the court. With them to protect you and waving flags and shouting for you. Over time, your father will pay more and more attention to you. As long as you don't do stupid things during this period, the possibility of becoming a prince is very high, and it is a blessing for everyone. Now your brother, King of Wei, is taking this path. In turn, ask yourself, how many court officials are there who support you now? Especially your uncle Changsun Wuji, how are you? How many court officials in the Three Provinces and Six Ministrys are optimistic about your fight for the prince?"
Li Zhi blushed, and Qiqiai Ai said, "This..."
Li Su snorted coldly: "I'm afraid there is not one? So, in terms of the power of the court, please forgive my honesty again. You are simply this..."
As he said that, Li Su stretched out his hand and gestured at the tip of the fingernail of his right little finger.
Li Zhi said sadly: "I understand what you mean. You mean I am like a fool who overestimates his ability to hit stones with eggs. Even pigs are more conscious of the current affairs than me..."
Li Su smiled and stroked the dog's head: "The first time I saw someone scolding me so hard, and every sentence was sincere and sincere, but you misunderstood..."
"What does it mean to be gestured?"
"Slag, I just want to say that in terms of the connections and forces in the court, you are simply a scum..." Li Su smiled at him with approval: "...but I admire your honest personality very much. Young man, you have a lot of prospects."
Li Zhi: “…………”
Is it swelling that the pain in the heart suddenly felt like a stabbing?
"...Brother Zizheng, please continue to treat the disease with sanitation."
Li Su nodded: "It is difficult for you to compete for the position of prince. You have the advantages that King Wei has, and he has the advantages that you do not have. He is not very smart and talented, and the power of the court is basically blank. In terms of the order of passing on the throne, the King of Wei is ahead of you. In terms of knowledge, the King of Wei is far ahead of you. In terms of appearance, you are much stronger than King of Wei. But if you compare with me, please forgive my integrity. I will give you the word "hehe" first..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi grabbed Li Su's wrist and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "Brother Zizheng, it's not good to be too straightforward. Let's just come here. If you continue, I have to hit the pillar in front of you and die, and blood splattered in front of you for five steps! I talked to you, not only did I not want to fight for the prince, but I even felt that it was meaningless to live. Just like that, it's good to continue to be the prince of Xiaoyao. The position of prince was given to the King of Wei..."
Li Su sighed again and said, "There is a fact that I am afraid of hitting you..."
Li Zhi looked desperate about life, and said in a weak voice: "Tell me, you have already hit me enough today, it's not bad..."
"If you don't compete for the position of prince, the one who ascends the throne in the future will definitely be King Tai of Wei. You and him are the same father and mother. If he is the emperor, the person who threatens his throne will be the most threatening to him. It may be difficult for you to be a free prince who eats, drinks, and have fun. Even if he thinks about his brotherhood and the world's longing and undead of killing you, at least the end of the lifelong ban is inevitable. The place where you, the prince, can be free is just the area of a dilapidated house in Chang'an City. Especially during festivals, you are even more worried. No one can guarantee that the brother who came out of the same mother's womb will have a whim. He will give you a glass of poisonous wine on the grounds of the festival..."
Li Zhi was stunned for a long time, his face turned green, and he said anxiously: "I don't argue with him anymore. He wants to kill me. He is too bullying! But... Although I am not very close to Brother Wei, I am still at peace. The court and the people of Chang'an praised him for his knowledgeable knowledge and gentlemanly style. He should not do such a vicious thing as a rival brother who is vicious, right?"
Li Su said lightly: "Will a gentleman not kill anyone? Even if he didn't kill people before, would he not kill people after becoming emperors? Can those who can become emperors still be called "gentlemen"? Remember, never estimate human nature too beautifully. People with beautiful fantasies are usually short-lived, and bad people live long-lasting."
Li Zhi's expression changed a few times, and he suddenly turned his head to look at him: "Brother Zizheng, are you a bad person or a good person?"
Li Su was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I am not thoroughly good, not purely bad, occasionally doing some bad things that cheat and cheat, and occasionally doing some good things that help the poor and help the elderly and the children. After doing bad things, I feel uneasy. I quickly do something good to make up for it. After the night is quiet, I comfort myself to offset my merits and karma. Hypnotize myself to be a good person. When I see the benefits next time, greed emerges in my heart. I can't help but do something bad again, and then do another good to make up for it..."
He looked at Li Zhi with a smile, and Li Su said, "Tell me, are people like me considered good or bad?"
Li Zhi frowned and thought for a while, and said seriously: "Are you a good person, Brother Zizheng, I know you are a good person."
Li Su laughed: "The first time I was sent a good person card, it's a pity that I'm not a beautiful woman with a beautiful country. But you were wrong. I'm not a good person or a bad person. At most, I'm an ordinary person with good and evil in my heart..." (To be continued.)
