Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 213 Majestic and Majestic Shore
The more noble the family, the more troubles.

The royal family of the Tian family was in a state of desperation. Because of Empress Wu's dominance, Li Zhi's harem was calm. After all, most of the women who could win Li Zhi's favor were relatively short-lived, and no one dared to challenge their own survival limits in the harem.

One emperor and one queen seem to be loving, but there are still a lot of troubles in the harem.

Now the main contradiction in the harem is how to be a stepmother.

After completing the dungeon, Empress Wu, who was already at the full level, felt oppressive to those princes who were not her own. Even Li Qinzai, an outsider, could see how depressed Li Sujie lived in the palace.

Reincarnation is a technical job, but it may not be a good thing if it is too good. Who wants to be a prince who lives in the shadow of death all day long?
Li Qinzai thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, since Su Jie has returned to Chang'an, you must not delay your studies. Please send Su Jie and Li Xian to Ganjing Village in a few days. I will continue to teach them."

Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "Jing Chu has made great achievements in destroying the country, what reward do you want?"

Li Qinzai bowed and said: "I violated the order first, and I don't deserve to be rewarded. Please forgive me."

Li Zhi's smile gradually faded, and he sighed and said: "Jing Chu has always been prudent, but this time I can't handle it well. If you send me a memorial in advance, explaining the pros and cons, how can I not accept your invitation? According to the purpose, the achievement of destroying the Japanese kingdom will be flawless, but today..."

Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "The war is expensive and fast, and the minister also had a sudden whim. It was too late to ask His Majesty for an order, so the minister had to make a temporary decision. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Japan has been destroyed and did not embarrass His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi was silent for a while, then turned around and brought a large stack of memorials from the desk in the hall, pointed to the memorials and said, "Jingchu has not yet returned to Chang'an, and the memorials to impeach you in the court have piled up like a mountain. Hundreds of courtiers are all impeaching you, and the words are quite fierce."

Li Qinzai said with a bitter expression, "Your Majesty asks you to forgive me if I'm guilty of the crime."

Li Zhi sighed: "From ancient times to the present, the word 'military power' has been particularly sensitive. You are the hero of the three dynasties, and I believe in your loyalty, but the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty did not. But you violated the order first, and I have been busy these few days to help you suppress the memorial, the reward is really..."

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "I don't ask for rewards. If Your Majesty finds it difficult, I will remove all my titles and official positions, and I will have no resentment."

It was supposed to be a joyous meeting between the monarch and his ministers, but the atmosphere at this moment is really a bit dull.

Li Zhi showed a smile and said, "Tell me about the process of destroying the Wo Kingdom this time. I am very curious, why did you suddenly change your mind on the way back to Tang Dynasty and landed in the Wa Kingdom instead?"

Li Qinzai coughed twice, and said, "I... didn't suddenly change my mind."

Li Zhi was stunned: "Could it be planned for a long time?"

"Your Majesty's words are a bit imprudent. Wouldn't it sound better to 'make a decision before acting'?"

Li Zhi smiled: "When did you start 'planning'?"

"After I made the three-eyed gun in Baekje, I gradually made this decision. Because of the three-eyed gun, I had the confidence to land on Wa Island with [-] soldiers. I was sure that the Japanese could not stop the three-eyed gun. With a volley of eye guns, six thousand soldiers advance, and they are invincible against Wa Island."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "The three-eyed blunderbuss you made was sent to Chang'an by Sun Renshi. I tried it myself. It is indeed a powerful weapon for the country. Only Jing Chu knows the most effective use of gunpowder. There is such a thing. , He Chou, the master of the Tang Dynasty, can't wipe out the barbarians from all over the world."

"I have never been on the battlefield, and I don't know how to arrange troops. The only confidence I have is the three-eyed gun. In the face of absolute strength, any formation and conspiracy can only be crushed, so I dare to take the risk."

"The Japanese kingdom has started war against the Tang Dynasty. It is not enough to lose its navy at Baijiangkou. It will still be a disaster after all. It is better to take this opportunity to land, destroy the country in one battle, and eliminate future troubles forever."

"Waguo is in the hands of His Majesty, and it has completed the last siege of Goguryeo. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will conquer Goguryeo.

Li Zhi smiled happily and said: "That's right, Jing Chu's talent is obviously not only in making new and strange things, but also in military equipment and military strategy.

Li Qinzai said again: "I have one more thing to report."

"You said."

Li Qinzai asked the eunuch to bring a pen and paper, and began to draw in front of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi looked closely for a while, his expression became more and more turbulent.

"Uh, I can't tell that Jing Chu is also a romantic man, haha, in front of me, I drew the man's words so vividly, this unliterary thing is thick and upturned, majestic and majestic, with a pillar holding up the sky, You are greedy for all the women in the world!"

Li Qinzai immediately stopped writing when he heard the words, and looked at Li Zhi in amazement: "What did your majesty say? I don't understand at all..."

Li Zhi also pointed to Li Qinzai's pen in astonishment and said, "Don't you draw..."

Li Qinzai said in shock: "Of course not! Your Majesty, what I drew is a map of Japan!"

Li Zhi suddenly fell silent.

It's so embarrassing, I can dig out another Tai Chi palace with my toes.

After a long time, Li Zhi sighed quietly: "Who would have imagined that the Wa country would look like this... No wonder I summon the Japanese envoys every year, and I always feel that the temperament of the people of the other country is indescribably weird, and the obscene and wretched attitude is very unique. It makes me feel very uncomfortable..."

Li Qinzai had doubts about his painting skills at first, but when he thought about the standard Japanese map in his previous life, he immediately felt relieved.

You fucking look like a dick, what does that have to do with my painting skills?

Skipping the embarrassing topic of insulting the Japanese, Li Qinzai drew a few small circles on the map of the Japanese country with a pen.

"Your Majesty has mastered the country of Wa, please pay attention to these few places."

"What is this place?"

"They are Iwami Ginzan, Ashio Copper Mine, and Besshi Copper Mine."

Li Zhi was taken aback: "It, they are..."

"Yes, silver and copper are produced in three places. I have been short of silver and copper for a long time in the Tang Dynasty. Since we have occupied the Wa country, we can't do nothing. We have to get something back, otherwise we will lose money in this battle. I'm sorry for those Soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and his expression gradually became excited: "Is what Jing Chu said true? If there are silver mines and copper mines, it will be a great joy!"

"I don't dare to deceive the emperor. These three places all have production, and the amount of ore is not small, enough for my Tang Dynasty to use for a hundred years."

Li Zhixi said: "How did you know?"

Li Qinzai made up nonsense without changing his face: "When I destroyed the Japanese kingdom, I heard it from the local people."

Li Zhi did not doubt that there was him, and said happily: "Okay, okay! I will draw up an order and order the master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry to go to Kanyu. After confirming the location of the mine, I will send people to dig it immediately. If the Tang Dynasty solves the shortage of silver and money. The matter of copper has gone to my heart, haha!"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to send people to mine. During the first battle to destroy the Japanese kingdom, my master Wang captured nearly [-] Japanese soldiers, and they are still in custody. Just let those captives do the mining, and your majesty will save a lot of expenses and money." Labor."

Li Healing was overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "Jing Chu is worthy of being the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, any idea can benefit the Tang Dynasty, I agree, and this will make the servant draw up an order to issue it."

After finishing what should be said, Li Zhi ordered the palace people to hold a banquet to clean up Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai's kindness was hard to refuse, so he had to have a banquet with Li Zhi.

The emperor and his subjects enjoyed themselves, and Li Qinzai bid farewell to Li Zhi and left the palace.
