Li Zhi, don't be a coward

The princess comes and goes quickly, like a tornado of love.

Under the imperial power, there was really no excuse for Pei Juxian's act of committing suicide. To commit suicide was to commit suicide. It would be useless to bring a lawsuit to Dali Temple. Li Qinzai's actions were impeccable.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Li Qinzai offended the Pei family of Hedong because of this.

In this era, the imprint of the family on a person is very deep. Li Qinzai who killed the members of the Pei family is the enemy of the Pei family. .

This is the obligation that the family entrusts to individuals. No matter what your status or official position is, you must stand up when the family is in trouble.

Most of the officials in the Great Tang court were powerful elites. Looking at the entire history of the Tang Dynasty, most of the generals in the court were from aristocratic families. The family used its own power to provide opportunities for the tribe. Power feeds back on the family.

This is the so-called clan politics.

For hundreds of years in the dynasties, the power has been transferred back and forth in the hands of this small number of families. Even if the children of the poor family have the talents of mastering the world, they can only look up enviously.

So Li Zhi wanted to eliminate the powerful family, and Li Qinzai agreed with it very much in his heart.

The crown prince and the members of the Pei clan returned home without a feather, but the matter was not over.

After the princess returned to the palace, she immediately had an audience with Li Zhi.

Kneeling in front of Li Zhi, with snot and tears, he said that the bones of His Highness the Crown Prince were not yet cold, but there were traitors who bullied the survivors, killing the uncle of the Crown Prince, concubine, and so on.

For the face of the late prince Li Hong, Li Zhi could only comfort her with gentle words. In order to calm her anger, Li Zhi specially rewarded a lot of gold, silver and silk, and gave Pei Juxian's widow a house and land.

But the princess is still not satisfied.

The Pei family was neither short of money nor land. What she wanted was not comforting rewards and real estate, but Li Qinzai's severe punishment.

Kneeling in front of Li Zhi and weeping, the crown princess Lihua brought rain to tell about the misery and misery of the widow living alone in the world after the death of the crown prince. The words became more and more exaggerated. Humiliation, I can't live anymore.

Li Zhi initially comforted her with gentle words, but after the princess cried and complained endlessly, Li Zhi frowned and gradually became a little impatient.

Li Zhi already knew the cause and effect of Pei Juxian's murder. Under the circumstances at that time, Li Qinzai's handling was fine.

What position and grade, dare to break into the palace relying on the identity of the prince's relatives, the Tian family don't want face?You are doing things in the East Palace at such a sensitive moment, who knows what you have in mind, there is no reason not to kill him.

The princess cried for a long time, in order to win Li Zhi's sympathy, and then severely punish Li Qinzai.

But obviously she was disappointed, the more she cried, the more impatient Li Zhi became, and the deeper his frown became.

Rewarding this reward and that, but never mentioning punishing Li Qinzai, and Li Zhi's face became more and more ugly.

The weeping princess looked up inadvertently, and found that Li Zhi's eyes were getting colder, and the princess was startled.

She finally realized the fact that it was impossible for Li Qinzai to be brought down by her. The emperor was not confused, he knew right and wrong, and he would never take sides.

If we continue crying, I am afraid that the emperor will take her into a knife. Li Zhiben was in a depressed mood when the crown prince passed away. She also annoyed him and angered him. The prince has been a monk and kept festivals all his life, and she can't stand such a day.

So the princess immediately shut up rationally, and knelt obediently in front of Li Zhi, not daring to say anything bad about Li Qinzai.

Even a member of the royal family cannot shake the weight of an important minister of the country.

The Crown Princess finally understood at this moment that she was an uncle and died in vain.

…………

Yang Hongwu, the servant of Yushitai, told Li Zhishang again, saying that since the emperor ascended the throne, for more than ten years, the emperor's harem was empty and his heirs were not prosperous.

If things go on like this, it will lay a hidden danger to the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the emperor is kindly invited to select the daughters of aristocratic families in various states and counties, enrich the harem, and multiply the heavenly family.

Although Yang Hongwu is only a small servant, his background is not simple.

In the Sui Dynasty, there was a well-known power minister named Yang Su. The official worshiped the minister, the prince and the master, and Situ. His power was the pinnacle of the minister.

Yang Hongwu is Yang Su's nephew.

Although he is the servant of Yushitai, to be honest, Yang Hongwu does not have much talent and lacks in ability, but he has one advantage, that is, he is humble and prudent, and acts in a simple manner.

Moreover, Yang Hongwu is regarded as Empress Wu's deadly enemy. Ever since Li Zhi was ill and Wu's descendants criticized the memorandum, Yang Hongwu has been in a confrontation with Empress Wu, expressing dissatisfaction with Empress Wu both in and out of words.

Once Li Zhi asked him, why are the so-called talents promoted from you by your official servants all mediocre? Yang Hongwu replied calmly, there is no way. The people I promoted are all mean wives.

There is nothing wrong with this statement on the surface, and it is also true.Yang Hongwu's family did have a fierce wife, Webster, who had a rough and fierce personality. Yang Hongwu was a younger brother who was bullied by his mother-in-law at home.

But when the monarch and ministers are right, Yang Hongwu's words are a bit accusing of Sang Huai.

I admit that there is a shrewd wife in my family, at least it didn’t bring disaster to the country and the people, but what about your shrewd wife?State affairs and state affairs are so important, why do you let a woman dictate?
Yang Hongwu taunted Li Zhi in front of him, and replaced him with a narrow-minded emperor. When his voice fell to the ground, Yang Hongwu's head grew mature on his neck, and it was time to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Li Zhi has a broad mind. Facing the ridicule of his courtiers, he just smiled slightly and didn't hold any grudges at all. Yang Hongwu has lived without disease and disaster until now.

Now that Yang Hongwu mentioned the draft, needless to say, he was targeting Empress Wu again.

I don't know how Empress Wu offended him, anyway, it was to pull Empress Wu from the position of queen.

The Son of Heaven is a man, a very normal man, at most he has a little bit of Meng De's hobby.

If someone cried and begged him to favor some women more, any normal man would not refuse, but would feel happy in his heart.

But superficial skills still have to be done. You can't just agree to the draft with a green light in your eyes, right?That's too disrespectful, eating appearance is very important, KTV has to pretend to change two batches before making a decision when choosing a drinking companion, let alone choosing a concubine.

So Li Zhi refused very justly. I am a wise king. I have worked hard to govern since I took the throne, and I am afraid that I will fail the great country entrusted to me by the late emperor.

Women or something will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword. This is the end of my talk, so don't talk about it in the future.

I only love the queen in my life, she is unyielding, and the world can learn from her.
