Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Li Qinzai really didn't want to help Empress Wu.

He really didn't want to have any entanglements with this woman, regardless of feelings or interests, whoever gets involved will be unlucky.

This woman is so powerful, Li Qinzai doesn't think he can beat her after living two lifetimes, the only empress in thousands of years of history, in terms of ability and calculations, ten Li Qinzai together are not enough to cause her disaster.

Now that Empress Wu asked him for help, she couldn't tell what her purpose was. Maybe only Li Qinzai could solve the problem, or maybe it was just a way to win him over.

Helping her once or twice, helping her, the two of them got closer, no matter how reluctant they were, Li Qinzai had to be labeled as a Queen's Party.

Li Qinzai didn't feel that there were any troubles in the world that he had to solve by himself. With Empress Wu's ability, only Li Zhi could wrestle with her.

In any case, since Empress Wu started to talk, Li Qinzai still wanted to continue listening, and he would not help or hinder himself from listening to the story. Empress Wu's face was full of stories.

"The queen doesn't want to be drafted, and she is afraid that a new woman will threaten you after entering the palace?" Li Qinzai asked bluntly.

Empress Wu glared at him: "Will this palace be afraid of this? Back then, the Queen recommended me into the palace and used me to check and balance Concubine Xiao Shu. I was a helpless woman who fought in the harem for many years, and both Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were brought down by me." gone."

"Back when I had nothing, I still had the will to fight with trapped beasts. Now that I am the head of the six palaces, controlling the life and death of all people in the harem, how can I be afraid of a few young girls who have just entered the palace? Talking about fighting hearts... huh !"

Li Qinzai was puzzled and said: "Since you don't object to the draft, what can I do for you?"

Empress Wu said coldly: "Haven't you heard it yet? Yang Hongwu, the servant of Yushitai, Dai Zhide, the family member, and Li Anqi, Chang Bo of Si Lie Shao, these people don't take me seriously at all. I don’t know about such a big event as the draft, I’m the queen of a country, don’t I even have the right to know?”

Li Qinzai seemed to understand.

It turned out that she was angry not because of the draft, but because she lost face, or felt that the dignity of the queen was provoked. The position of queen is what she cares most about. She cares, and others don't care. How can this be tolerated?

"If you blow the pillow wind in His Majesty's ear, you will convict and exile those people." Li Qinzai immediately came up with an idea.

Empress Wu glared at him again: "I'm not only talking about these few people, but I know the whole leopard at a glance. They leapfrogged and remonstrated, and didn't take me seriously. It can be seen that many ministers in the court did not take it seriously." In my eyes, Yang Hongwu and the others are just one of them."

Li Qinzai looked at her helplessly, which is a bit unreasonable, the world belongs to your man, why do other men take you seriously?Wouldn't it be enough to just stay in the harem and act like a dominator?
"The queen means..."

Empress Wu said coldly: "I want your help, find a way to boost the majesty of my empress, and let the people in the court and the public know that the empress behind the emperor must also be respected and salute with the emperor!"

Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I can't help you. I don't have that much ability to boost the empress's dignity. You'd better ask someone else."

Empress Wu narrowed her phoenix eyes and said, "Can't, or don't want to?"

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and then said bluntly: "There are all of them."

Empress Wu smiled: "Worried about usurping the monarchy and then cultivating the queen party?"

Li Qinzai smiled wryly and said, "I'm very timid, don't scare me, I just want to live a peaceful life with my wife and children, and don't want to get involved in trouble."

Empress Wu said slowly: "Li Jingchu, in your eyes, is this palace just a queen, His Majesty's wife, other than that, can you have other identities?"

Li Qinzai's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, he raised his sleeve and wiped it, and said: "The empress is so sharp today, I dare not answer every question..."

Empress Wu smiled and said: "You dare not answer, I will help you answer. In the eyes of everyone, I am just a queen, others can think so, but Li Jingchu, you can't think so, you and your majesty are of one mind, and I am with your majesty." It's one heart."

"Perhaps you have almost forgotten that when His Majesty ascended the throne, he made a great wish that he must eliminate the powerful families in his lifetime. In the past ten years, His Majesty has also done the same. The one who stands most firmly by his side!"

"Since the day when the king was abolished and the military was established, I have been the mortal enemy of the world's aristocratic families, and I am not afraid of the world's population and pens, and I am not afraid of cold arrows and cold frosts. I advise your majesty to promote the imperial examination, and Du recommends officials."

"Although it is to achieve the purpose of suppressing the aristocratic family, it is undeniable that the children of the poor family have indeed benefited from it, and they have a chance to stand out."

"My empress is not only your majesty's wife, but also the hope of the world's humble children. The more majestic the empress is, the more your majesty orders me. I don't mind being a knife in your majesty's hand, a knife that stabs at the nobles of the aristocratic family. "

"If the people in the government and the opposition never take me seriously as the empress, and the words they say are like nothingness, and the people in the world ignore them, then the knife in your majesty's hand will lose its sharpness, and it will ultimately damage the interests of the Tang family, understand? "

After listening to Empress Wu's words, Li Qinzai immediately felt admiration.

What he admired was not the hope of some poor family, but her eloquence. For some reason, Li Qinzai felt that her words made sense.

The ultimate goal of Li Zhi's ruling seems to be to suppress and weaken the powerful family. This is a long and difficult process, and it can be regarded as a real internal trouble in Datang today.

And it is undeniable that in the process of achieving this ultimate goal, Empress Wu did spare no effort to help Li Zhi.

Even after the death of Li Zhi in history, Empress Wu was still suppressing and weakening the power of the clan. The power of the clan in China finally languished in the hands of Empress Wu, and there was no sign of revival in the next thousand years.

From this perspective, Li Qinzai seems to have a reason to help her.

This is an undeniable reason, for the poor children of the world.

But Li Qinzai still didn't want to get involved in gossip, it was easy to help, after helping, did she take it for granted that he was already the queen's wing?
Empress Wu said again: "At the beginning, your majesty wanted to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai, and I accompanied you. On the top of Mount Tai, your majesty and my palace worshiped the heaven and the earth together. Remonstrance stopped."

"I'm not an unreasonable person. The world has suffered disasters year after year, and the people are suffering. After Feng Chan was admonished by you, I didn't say anything. From this point of view, Li Jingchu, you owe me. Since you owe me, Should I pay it back?"
