Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Li Zhi was caught off guard by the courtiers' impeachment.

He didn't expect that so many people would come out to oppose his request for longevity.

In Li Zhi's view, seeking longevity is the emperor's private matter. As long as the emperor does not increase taxes and corvees in the world because of this matter, and does not neglect the government, the courtiers should not dictate to him.

But obviously today's court meeting was completely beyond Li Zhi's expectations. The censors headed by Liu Rengui stood up one after another. The words of opposition were so fierce that Li Zhi hadn't been so embarrassed for many years.

Sitting in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Zhi's expression couldn't hold back any longer. What kind of advice is generous, what is all-inclusive, all go to the fuck, I am the Son of Heaven, don't you want to lose face?

"Liu Rengui, you are going too far." Li Zhi's face darkened.

Liu Rengui raised his head solemnly, and looked directly at Li Zhi: "It's too much, Your Majesty, superstitious about longevity, enshrined as a demon monk in Jin Dynasty, close to the villain and far away from virtuous ministers, soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are still fighting bloody battles in Goguryeo, but Your Majesty is obsessed with sorcery and seeks longevity."

"I can't help but ask, where did the Holy Son of Heaven go when he was kind and generous in admonishing him?"

Li Zhi was so angry that he beat the case: "Presumptuous!"

"Your majesty is presumptuous, please punish me, but your majesty's superstitious belief in longevity must be banned immediately!" Liu Rengui said tit for tat.

At this time, more than a dozen censors said in unison: "I am willing to commit the same crime as Liu Shizhong."

Li Zhi's face was livid, and he stared at Liu Rengui angrily.

"Liu Rengui, what are you waiting for?" Li Zhi said in a gloomy tone.

Liu Rengui said proudly: "The first emperor said that longevity is a delusion, and the emperor cannot be trusted. Your Majesty, please chase away the demon monks, abolish delusion, accept good advice, and listen to the truth!"

Li Zhi gritted his teeth angrily: "Okay, okay!"

Immediately looking around, Li Zhi said angrily: "Who else wants to be the same as Liu Shizhong?"

The officials were silent for a while, and the blind could see that Li Zhi was so angry that he was about to lose his mind. Who was standing in the hall was not a human being? .

However, after a long time, another person suddenly stood out from the crowd and said solemnly: "I, Hao Chujun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is willing to join Liu Gong."

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes: "Hao Chujun, do you want to warn me?"

Hao Chujun said proudly: "Yes, Your Majesty is wrong, it is wrong, the so-called immortality, which emperor in the past and present has achieved it? Such absurd and nonsensical words, but His Majesty credulously believes in foreign demon monks. I think that His Majesty is wrong. If there is a mistake, I will not impeach it. , losing the loyalty of a minister."

With the voice of opposition from the whole court, Li Zhi seemed to have returned to the scene when he was enthroned, when he was determined to depose the king and queen. At that time, it was also the opposition from the court.

How similar today is to that time.

Looking around the officials again, Li Zhi had a gloomy expression, and said two words coldly from his mouth: "Sanchao!"

…………

Li Qinzai sat in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion, basking in the winter sun with squinted eyes.

A little comfortable, Xianyu suddenly wanted to turn over, after drying side A and side B.

Butler Wu came in a hurry, and Li Qinzai could already hear his footsteps now. Before Butler Wu arrived, Li Qinzai sighed.

"Wu Shaolang, someone is coming from the palace, and I'm calling you into the palace for a briefing." Butler Wu said softly.

Li Qinzai raised his eyelids lazily, and said, "Isn't today the court meeting? Your Majesty left the court so soon?"

Butler Wu said in a low voice: "No, it is the empress who summoned you into the palace for a briefing."

Li Qinzai opened his eyes suddenly, with a rather surprised expression.

Empress Wu summoned him?
What does this woman want to do?
Li Qinzai got up suddenly, sat on the recliner in a daze, counting silently with his fingers.

From Goguryeo back to Chang'an, until now, Li Qinzai and Empress Wu have met twice, both with Li Zhi present, other than that, there is no intersection, it seems that they have not offended her...

I have to think about it more, Li Qinzai had a relationship with Empress Wu in the early years, and now there is no grievance between the two. Liang Zi is still there, and Li Qinzai can't tell whether Empress Wu has let go of it, or kept it in his heart, and waited for the red and blue to grow up. Give him a hard time.

Summoning him for no reason today, Li Qinzai couldn't help but be very careful.

After pondering for a long time, Li Qinzai still ordered his servant girl to change his clothes. After finishing his appearance, he went out and got into the carriage, and went straight to Taiji Palace.

After entering the palace, Empress Wu summoned him under the curtain in Anren Hall. The hall was empty, only Li Qinzai and Empress Wu were there.

Li Qinzai became more and more apprehensive, and kept looking around after entering the hall.

Behind the bead curtain, Empress Wu's chuckle came: "Jing Chu doesn't seem to be very comfortable. The Queen summoned the ministers from behind the curtain. It is not against the etiquette of the world. Jing Chu can rest assured."

Li Qinzai grinned: "Yes, I didn't think much about it."

Through the bead curtain, Empress Wu saw that Li Qinzai was still restless, and couldn't help but sneered: "Is Jing Chu worried that Empress Lu, who serves as Han in this palace, will kill the hero Han Xin in the harem while Gaozu is out to fight? "

Li Qinzai was startled: "How do you know...haha, the empress's mother respects the world, her benevolence and her people, how can I have such a villain's heart, haha."

Li Qinzai looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, Li Zhi was not there, he and Empress Wu had a relationship, it was not because he was worried that Empress Wu would kill him, but Li Qinzai was afraid of being framed.

There were only him and Empress Wu in the hall, as long as Empress Wu tore off half of her shirt, revealing half of her fragrant shoulders, and ran out of the hall with tears streaming down her cheeks, Li Qinzai would not be able to wash herself off by jumping into the Yellow River.

At that time, Li Qinzai explained to Li Zhi that he only likes cardamom girls and has no obsession with Mengde. Does Li Zhi believe it or not?
As we all know, Li Zhi and Li Qinzai's preferences are exactly the opposite. He has a special liking for other people's wives, and the dirty things he has done in his life are enough to be sentenced.

How can anyone not like Mende's obsession, which is so elegant and refined?

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit awkward. Li Qinzai didn't know the intention of Empress Wu, so he could only keep silent.

After a long time, Empress Wu suddenly sighed: "In Jingchu's eyes, is this palace just a generation of narrow-minded, ungrateful women?"

Li Qinzai was stunned, silently digesting Empress Wu's words.

It's so hard to understand, isn't she a woman?

So, what kind of thoughts and feelings does the author want to express?

Seeing that Li Qinzai was silent, Empress Wu sighed again.

After all, there was a estrangement. He chatted and laughed happily in front of His Majesty, but was taciturn and trembling in front of her. The grievances and resentments of that year were obviously deeply remembered by him.

So Empress Wu had no choice but to cheer up, and said slowly: "I invite Jing Chu to enter the palace today, and I have three things to say."

"My minister is all ears."

"First, the King of England Xian Duo inherited Jing Chu's teachings. I heard that Xian'er's studies have improved a lot in recent years. When Jing Chu fought in Goguryeo, he was not neglected. This is all the merit of Jing Chu's teachings. For Your Majesty and me Teach a good boy who is both good in character and learning."

Empress Wu said with a gratified smile.

Li Qinzai opened his mouth, he couldn't help but want to be mean again.

Where do you see that your dog is "excellent in character and learning"?Li Xian's grades are clearly at the bottom of the school, okay?The battle between him and Qi Bizhen for the last place in the class was extremely fierce, and he couldn't persuade him.

As an upright and upright teacher, I must not get used to the bad habits of my parents. What I run is a school, not a flattering officialdom.

Li Qinzai's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "What the queen said is exactly what the queen said. The king of England is extraordinary. Congratulations from His Majesty and Queen."
