Li Zhi, don't be a coward

"Is it possible to take revenge in nine lives? Even in a hundred lives."

These words were said by Confucius, the boss is so stubborn, he has to obey.

Fortunately, before the ninth generation of Tang Dynasty, the third generation of emperors destroyed Goguryeo.

Regrettably, more than 1000 years later, the Chinese nation still has a deep blood feud that has not been avenged.

Li Qinzai also stood in the crowd of courtiers offering sacrifices, watching Quan Nanjian and his relatives hesitantly walk up the stone steps of the Taimiao, kneeling behind Li Zhi, their expressions of forced laughter but humiliation fell in everyone's eyes .

No one sympathizes with them. The status of a subjugated king is not as good as a dog. Today's prisoner offering ceremony, they are just tools used by Li Zhi to show off and praise his achievements. This tool may be used more than once.

In the future, during festivals or important sacrificial days, Li Zhi would probably take Quan Nanjian out for a walk, and tell the world in awe that this guy is my achievement, I destroyed his country, Mr. Taizong I did something that the emperor didn't even do, isn't it amazing?

Not long after, when Li Ji triumphantly returns to the imperial court, he may also bring along Jin Famin, the lord of Silla Kingdom, who is also a prisoner from the Taimiao.

If you add the elder brother who was once the king of the Japanese kingdom who has been imprisoned in Chang'an, and the three brothers in the East Asian monster house, Taichang Temple may specially arrange a group dance for the three brothers. The three brothers danced to cheer.

The grand prisoner offering ceremony was finally over, but Li Zhi still had more to say.

Today is the highlight moment of his life. With Izumi Nanjian being sacrificed to the Taimiao, it was officially announced that the Goguryeo Kingdom had been destroyed by the Tang army.

Datang's gorgeous and perfect revenge is an eternal story.As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who initiated the Eastern Expedition, he is full of ambition and has unlimited scenery at the moment.

The prestige of the Li family's imperial power has also reached its peak today.

At such an important moment, Li Zhi always felt that the prisoner offering ceremony was a bit hasty, and the etiquette was not grand enough. Simply put, he didn't have enough.

After presenting the captives, Li Zhi issued an order in front of his ministers to grant Quan Nanjian and his relatives a Chang'an mansion, and named Quan Nanjian "the governor of Liaodong Prefecture" to lead the whole territory of Koguryo from afar.

The official position is very high, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what the word "yaoling" means. No matter how high the official is, one can only be imprisoned in Chang'an City, and maybe the whole family will never be able to leave that mansion for the rest of their lives.

Li Zhi named him the governor of Liaodong Prefecture, in order to stabilize the hearts of Goguryeo and help Datang digest the land of Goguryeo. If he is killed, the news will be sent back to Goguryeo, which may arouse the hearts of revenge and rebellion among the people of Goguryeo. He must cause trouble for himself because of him alone.

After the ceremony was over, the officials gradually dispersed, Li Qinzai was about to leave, but Li Zhi stopped him suddenly and gave him a wink.

Li Qinzai understood and followed Li Zhi back to Anren Hall.

The monarch and his ministers were seated in the palace, but Li Zhi was not polite to him, and said straight to the point: "A few days ago, the queen begged me, saying that after the spring, she wanted to take the married woman in Beijing to go to the Luoyang palace to worship the agricultural altar. The queen also said that it was Jingchu, yours suggestion?"

Li Qinzai nodded honestly: "Yes, it was indeed the minister who suggested the Queen to do this."

"The empress also implores Zhen Enyun to build a 'charity hall' to help the poor people in the world. Is this also your suggestion?"

"Yes, the empress is noble and radiant, and I obey the destiny to remonstrate." Li Qinzai's eyes glowed, and his face was full of reverence.

Li Zhi's cheeks twitched, and he said slowly: "You speak well, you are noble and brilliant, do you have anything to do with her?"

Li Qinzai said innocently: "Isn't it right for me to suggest so?"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "I can't say it's wrong... But I always feel that something is wrong, what are your plans?"

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "The queen is offering sacrifices to the Luoyang Agricultural Altar and setting up some kind of charity hall. She must be very busy in the next few years..."

Li Zhi said in a daze: "So what?"

Li Qinzai sighed, and said: "Your Majesty and my ministers are both men, and both are married men. Does Your Majesty know what is the happiest thing for a married man?"

"What is it?"

"It's when the mother-in-law returns to her mother's house, and the mother-in-law is on business. In short, the happiest thing is that the mother-in-law is not at home, and the man can turn upside down."

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood the essence of Li Qinzai's words.

Li Qinzai blinked at him, showing an expression that men can understand: "Your Majesty just ordered a draft, and when the new concubines enter the palace, the Empress happens to be away. Tsk, I really can't imagine how happy Your Majesty is..."

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh suddenly, and smiled up to the sky: "Haha, Jingchu, you have done a great service for me again! Good, good!"

After figuring out the joints, Li Zhi was so excited that his eyes were red, like a wolf that had been hungry for three days.

The mother-in-law is not at home, and a bunch of young and beautiful women are selected to enrich the harem. It is really... very happy!
"Did happiness come so suddenly?" Li Zhi was moved to the point of tears. After Mrs. Wei was poisoned by Empress Wu, he never touched another woman. God knows how hard it was for him in these two years.

Now, thanks to Li Qinzai's suggestion, the queen has been dismissed, and Li Zhi is as happy as a monkey that has dug out of Wuzhishan.

"Jingchu, you have done a great service for me... Ah no! Not only is it a great service, but it is simply a great kindness! Thank you so much!"

Li Qinzai sighed: "It is only incidental to make His Majesty happy. I ask Your Majesty to take seriously the Queen's construction of the Charity Hall, and the court should also provide some help when necessary."

Li Zhi's expression of ecstasy gradually calmed down: "The empress has talked to me carefully about the charity hall, but I think that if you want to save the world's poor, blindly helping the poor people is not the right way."

Li Qinzai nodded: "Of course it's not the right way, it's just an auxiliary method, so I suggested that the queen should do it. The queen represents the Tian family. Her donation to the poor people can help the Tian family win the hearts of the world, and at the same time, it can also boost the hearts of the Tian family. The queen's prestige in the ruling and opposition parties."

"Most of the courtiers are from the family, and the queen has offended the family. Your majesty wants to reduce the power of the family, so you need a very important and virtuous wife to help your majesty. If the queen establishes prestige in the court and the opposition, your majesty will lose the power of the family in the future." Get twice the result with half the effort."

Li Zhi praised: "Jingchu thought far-reachingly, and it turns out that he still has such a plan. I can't match it."

"In this way, the Charity Hall should really take it seriously. It just so happens that sweet potatoes have been popularized in the Tang Dynasty, and the people's food reserves are gradually increasing, and the burden on the national treasury is much smaller. In the future, the imperial court may consider adding a sum of money to the Charity Hall every year. .”

"I also understand that the so-called charity hall does not actually do many good deeds. After all, there are many poor people in the world, and a charity hall can't help many people at all."

"But it is of great significance. The matter is done in a high-profile way, and the world is widely praised. The prestige of the Tian family has increased sharply, and it can win the hearts of the people in the world. The imperial power has become more and more solid. It is wonderful."
