Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1168
Li Zhineng talked with Li Qinzai about the crown prince face to face, and Li Qinzai knew deeply that Li Zhi had complete trust in him.

Perhaps it was also Li Zhi's deliberate intention to imply his trust by talking about the crown prince, so as to dispel the concerns of Li Qinzai and even the entire Li family.

Sometimes chatting can not only look at the topic, but also look at the deep meaning behind the topic.

Li Qinzai understood, so he thought of Jin Dayan.

No matter whether she has time or not, no matter whether she can reach Chang'an before Li Hong dies, Li Qinzai must let Li Zhi know about the existence of Jin Dayan at this moment.

Otherwise, if Li Hongruo died of illness in the future, Li Zhi would know that there was a genius doctor in Goguryeo, but Li Qinzai would not tell the truth.

"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend one person, the goddess doctor who saved the lives of me and my grandfather in Goguryeo. Her name is Jin Dayan, and her medical skills are very superb. If your Majesty can trust her, you can call her back to Chang'an on a quick ride of [-] miles. Diagnose and treat His Royal Highness' illness."

Li Zhi was stunned, and said: "I have heard about this, this female doctor is not simple, she saved the lives of Yinggong and you, she is really kind to me, Tang Sheji..."

Li Qinzai said in a deep voice: "Her medical skills are nothing to say. Although she is from Goguryeo, she has noble medical ethics. In her eyes, all living beings are equal. She is like a living Bodhisattva. If she can come to Chang'an in time, I dare not vouch for her." It will definitely save His Highness the Crown Prince, but after all, there is a glimmer of hope."

Li Zhi nodded: "Jing Chu's remonstrance is very good, I accept it. Now I will send the imperial guards to go to Koguryo for eight hundred miles, and invite the goddess doctor to Chang'an."

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, but they both smiled wryly.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that from Chang'an to Goguryeo, it would take more than two months at the fastest to go back and forth between the two places. How could Li Hong's illness drag on for more than two months?
It's nothing more than doing one's best and obeying the destiny. Calling Jin Dayan to Chang'an is more like an attitude of unwillingness to give up and a sense of ritual of doing one's best.

Li Zhi paused, and couldn't help but said: "About the Crown Prince..."

Li Qinzai immediately interrupted: "The crown prince is an internal matter of the Tian family. The secrets of the palace cannot be disclosed to foreign ministers. The ministers dare not participate, and dare not even listen."

Li Zhi showed a warm smile on his face: "When I wanted to abolish the king and queen, Ling Zu Yinggong said the same thing. He said, 'This is His Majesty's family business, why bother asking outsiders'. I have to say, your grandparents are really in the same line."

Li Qinzai also laughed and said: "I just know the scale. If you rely on your majesty's respect to dictate the affairs of the Tian family, in my opinion, it is death."

"Your Majesty, I will take my disciples back to Ganjing Village tomorrow, and let them concentrate on their studies and not care about world affairs, especially those princes and princesses. I will take them away, and will strictly restrain them from participating in the battle for the crown prince."

Li Zhi smiled gratifiedly: "I have no doubts about Jingchu's loyalty. If all the courtiers are like you, I will be more relieved to rule the world."

As he said that, Li Zhi suddenly looked at him with deep meaning, and said in a low voice: "Li Xian is your disciple, and also my direct prince. It is said that Jing Chu should spare no effort to assist Li Xian to fight for the position of the crown prince. Why did Jing Chu give up? This great opportunity?"

Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, many people have asked me this question in the past few days, and my attitude has always been very clear. To tell you the truth, even Li Xian had this idea, but was suppressed by me. .”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why?"

Li Qinzai sighed: "Father and teacher know the virtues of my disciples best. Your Majesty, Li Xian is your son. Do you really think he is suitable to be a prince?"

Li Zhi smiled: "Li Xian has a lot of minor problems, but his heart is still pure and good. If he has been educated for a few years, he may have a different temperament and be praised by the government and the public."

Li Qinzai glanced at him and said: "If your majesty really intends to make Li Xian the crown prince, he would have already let his ministers know about it. Why call Pei Wang Li Xian to Beijing?"

"I feel that my IQ is being rubbed against the ground by His Majesty, so His Majesty doesn't have to induce me. To put it bluntly, Li Xian is useless. It would be good to be the Prince of Taiping for a lifetime."

Li Zhi froze for a moment, then smiled wryly: "I was speechless because of you..."

Then Li Zhi's expression became serious: "Although the crown prince is seriously ill, he is still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. If he is safe and sound, there is no need to mention the establishment of the crown prince. If he has... some unexpected reasons, it is okay for the monarchs and ministers to discuss the establishment of the crown prince again." Late."

Li Qinzai nodded.

He knew that this was Li Zhi's attitude, and the implication was that there was no suspense that Pei Wang Li Xian should be the next prince.

…………

After leaving the Tai Chi Palace, Li Qinzai immediately felt relaxed.

Whether the Li family is loyal or treacherous, what others say doesn't count, but the emperor has the final say.

Those who plan to make a fuss about desertion, they don't know that they are already in danger.

As long as he dared to send the memorial, it would be equivalent to a name in Li Zhi's heart. Li Zhi would not have a good impression of this kind of person who smeared and suppressed heroes and fanned the flames in front of the emperor.

Since ancient times, regardless of whether the emperor is a fool or a wise ruler, of course they are afraid of their ministers' achievements, but they also have to divide people.

From the year of Zhenguan to the present, there have been many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, and there are not a few generals who have made great achievements in destroying the country. Why are they all safe and sound?
Datang is different from other dynasties, the biggest difference is the monarch's mind.

As long as you have done meritorious service, I will treat you kindly. It doesn’t matter what others say. If a general destroys the country, he will end up like a rabbit and a dog. Who will dare to sacrifice his life for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
Besides, the person who made the meritorious service was Li Ji. Everyone in the world knew that Li Ji was old. This was the last battle of his life, and the curtain ended perfectly.

After the curtain fell, Li Ji was just an old man in his twilight years. Who would have any doubts about an old man who would retire immediately after making great achievements?

Of course Li Zhi is not a perfect monarch, but he will never be suspicious of Li Ji and the entire Li family.

The performance of Li Ji and Li Qinzai in these years can already explain everything.

Most of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers in the early Tang Dynasty was able to start well and end well, unless the courtiers committed suicide, such as Hou Junji, such as Changsun Wuji.

Walking out of the gate of the Tai Chi Palace, Li Qinzai regained his paralyzed appearance, and was carried into the carriage by the dancers.

Anyway, I don't know why, Li Qinzai always felt that the appearance of being paralyzed and holding the wisdom beads was very compelling, and he looked very intelligent.

Moreover, there are people waiting for you when you walk, sit and lie down, which is also in line with Li Qinzai's salty fish mentality.

This salted fish has gone too far, and he doesn't even bother turning over by himself.

The gate of the palace is not far from Li's house, they are all on Zhuque Street, theoretically Li Qinzai and Li Zhi are neighbors.

The carriage was swaying, and Li Qinzai sat in the carriage with his eyes closed.

Suddenly felt the carriage stopped, Li Qinzai still did not open his eyes.

Zhuque Avenue is the main road of Chang'an. Traffic jams are common in this super city with a population of over one million.

However, not long after, Feng Su outside the carriage said, "Fifth Shaolang, someone is blocking the way."

Li Qinzai said indifferently: "Then let him pass first, it doesn't matter if we wait."

Feng Su said in a deep voice: "Wu Shaolang, the carriage on the opposite side deliberately stopped in front of us."

Li Qinzai's eyes opened abruptly.

Come to work!
