Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 152 Mr. Li's Disciple
Li Zhi had never seen what the so-called firecrackers were with his own eyes, and Li Sujie just narrated it, and Li Zhi took the lead.

He is too eager for military victory, but Li Zhi can't help being excited about anything that is conducive to the expansion of the country and the victory of the Tang soldiers.

This is Li Zhi's obsession.

He has been living in the shadow of Li Shimin, and the subjects of the world will unconsciously compare him with his father. In comparison, Li Zhi is indeed a bit inferior.

During the reign of Zhenguan, when the Tang Dynasty was established, there were too many enemies around which the Tang Dynasty needed to conquer, and too many lands needed to be taken by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, during the years of Wude and Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty used troops to fight many times.

Until Li Zhi ascended the throne, it was not only that the seniors had fought almost all the battles that should be fought, but more importantly, the people in the world had been impoverished by fighting for years, and the people could no longer sustain it. The people took a breath.

But in his heart, the illustrious achievements of his father, Emperor Li Shimin, were hurdles that he could never overcome.

It's not that he insists on comparing, but the subjects of the world are comparing.

The new emperor is very soft, not as tough as his father.

This new emperor is meek and slow. Those who have been on the battlefield are really different from those who have not been on the battlefield. It is not like the first emperor Taizong...

The new emperor hadn't fought many battles since he ascended the throne, and all the knives were aimed at his own people, even his own uncle was killed...

If you listen to too much gossip, your obsession will come from your heart.

He wants to surpass his father, he wants to create a greater achievement than his father, and he wants to hold his head high when offering sacrifices to the late emperor in the Taimiao.

In the battle against Tie Le years ago, Xue Rengui set three arrows on Tianshan Mountain, which can be regarded as saving Li Zhi's face, and the reputation of the king of the Tang Dynasty once again shocked the neighboring countries.

But not enough, far from enough.

Li Zhi needs greater victories and needs to expand more land!

Only when the land exceeds the reign of the emperor, his image in the mouth of the subjects of the world will improve slightly, and when talking about him behind his back, he will no longer say that he is inferior to the first emperor in every way.

Then, at this time, Li Qinzai invented gunpowder.

Just like when Li Zhi was going to rebuild the "Clan Chronicles" and hit the big family, Li Qinzai just compiled "Hundred Surnames".

When he was planning to conquer Tie Le in the north, Li Qinzai happened to invent the divine arm bow.

Just when he was about to give birth, Li Qinzai invented toilet paper.

That last one sounds a little weird...

In short, the timing was as coincidental as if Li Qinzai had deliberately developed a new product while staring at his thoughts.

It's rare to invent new objects, and what's even more surprising is that Li Qinzai can fit his ideas and invent new objects every time he finds the right time, which is very pleasing.

I don't know what others think, anyway, Li Zhi is very happy, and at the same time Li Zhi has become more and more firm in his guess about Li Qinzai.

This son must be a disciple of the Mohist school, with peerless talents and learning.

Writing beautiful articles and writing immortal poems is considered a talent in the eyes of the emperor, but it is only a talent that adds to the prosperity of the prosperous age.

Li Qinzai's unique knowledge was truly valued by the emperor. Whatever the emperor needed, he would give.

Born after meritorious service in the three dynasties, he has no ambitions for officialdom and power.Deliberately avoiding the intrigues and struggles of the court, let alone getting involved in state affairs, government affairs and the emperor's family affairs, living in the countryside like a hermit.

How could Li Zhi not like such a talent?

"Wang Changfu, quickly dispatch the forbidden horse and call Li Qinzai back to Chang'an to play the duet." Li Zhi ordered immediately.

"Wait a minute!" Empress Wu suddenly stopped Wang Changfu, turned to Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that the Son of Heaven should be courteous and virtuous, and he should be courteous to the talents of Jingwei and Tiandi in order to be loyal."

Li Zhi was startled: "What the queen means is..."

Empress Wu smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty should go and meet Li Jingchu in person, and see with his own eyes whether the new objects he created are as powerful as he said."

"The Son of Heaven condescends to come here in person, which is more grand and gracious to Li Jingchu. This son has a great talent, so he should seek it with courtesy."

After pondering, Li Zhi glanced at Empress Wu approvingly.

This woman's mind is bigger and bigger than Ang Zang's. She is obviously a daughter, but her heart is full of rivers.

This may be her charm. In spite of the sarcasm and objections of the people all over the world, Li Zhi named the woman who had served her father as a queen. In addition to her love, her personality and view of the pattern were also one of the reasons.

"According to what the queen said, Changfu, prepare chariots and horses, and keep the ceremonies simple. I will go to Ganjingzhuang in person. Haha, I have been coveting the delicacies cooked by Jingchu himself for a long time, and I can feast on them again." Li Zhi said frankly. laughed.

Empress Wu smiled sweetly, her eyes moved, and she quickly glanced at the two princes Li Sujie and Li Xian, feeling a little disappointed in Li Xian.

The princes had to make comparisons. It was obvious that they saw something with their own eyes at the same time. Li Sujie paid attention to it, and immediately associated it with whether it could be used in military affairs, and specifically begged Li Qinzai not to disclose the secret recipe.

As for Li Xian, he only heard a sound, and there was nothing else to do.

Comparing the two compartments, you can see who is superior.

How could Empress Wu not be disappointed that her own son was not as good as her son.

In particular, this concubine was still the son of an enemy, and Empress Wu became more and more dissatisfied.

Li Zhi was very efficient in doing things, and he really left as soon as he said it.

In the middle of the family banquet, without even asking about the studies of the two princes, Li Zhi left the banquet first, preparing to leave the palace in a carriage.

After Empress Wu and the two princes sent Li Zhi away, they returned to Chengxiang Hall, and the family banquet felt a little less flavorful.

Empress Wu sighed secretly, and put down the jade chopsticks.

The two princes also got up to say goodbye tactfully.

After Li Xian finished his salute, he ran away excitedly. He hadn't returned to the palace for a long time. He missed the cats and birds in the palace very much, and couldn't wait to go back and see them.

Li Sujie stood outside the palace gate, keeping a bowed posture, waiting for Empress Wu to drive ahead.

Empress Wu looked helplessly at Li Xian's excited back, then at Li Sujie who was saluting respectfully, and sighed again, feeling rather complicated.

When walking past Li Sujie, Empress Wu stopped, looked at him sideways, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to be so careful, what happens between the elders won't affect the younger generation."

"Besides, just because you are now Li Jingchu's disciple, I will never do anything to you, as long as you don't be stupid."

After throwing down these words, Empress Wu walked away gracefully.

Li Sujie stood on the spot with a dazed expression for a moment, then suddenly his knees gave way, and he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and finally he couldn't help crying.

As soon as she cried, Li Sujie immediately stopped her voice, bit her lip tightly, and let the tears flow, but she stopped making a sound.

The knife that had been hanging over his head for several years was finally withdrawn.

Because of the sentence "Just because you are Li Jingchu's disciple".

The hall was empty, but Li Sujie was still kneeling on the ground, tears kept on murmuring, "Li Jingchu's disciple, I am... Mr. Li's disciple!"
