Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 412
When a crisis arises, we must resolve it in the most sensible way, including decisively and proactively paying the price.

There is no distinction between right and wrong, since one has done it, there are only two outcomes, gaining benefits or paying a price.

Li Qinzai had already been mentally prepared, and offered to Li Zhi to self-imprison Dali Temple as one of his ways to solve the crisis.

Li Zhi frowned, with a face full of disapproval: "Why should Jing Chu despise himself..."

Li Qinzai blinked: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that even if I attacked Zongzheng Temple with a trilogy, it's really nothing, not as serious as being in prison?"

Li Zhi coughed: "That's not what I meant..."

Then Li Zhi said again: "Jing Chu said just now, can you guarantee that my two daughters have nothing to do with the Yan Sheng case?"

"Yes."

Li Zhi said solemnly: "This matter is no small matter, Jing Chu, have you checked it out?"

"I have verified that the real mastermind is still in the palace, and is being closely monitored by Baiqisi's eyeliner."

Li Zhi suddenly felt uncomfortable: "In other words, the real mastermind is still at large, and is still at large in the palace?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, a net has been laid around the man, and the net can be collected at any time."

Only then did Li Zhi heave a sigh of relief, and sighed: "This case...let's end it as soon as possible, too many people have been implicated in it, even my daughter almost..."

"However, your attack on Zongzheng Temple today is indeed very serious. The courtiers will definitely participate in impeachment. You have to be prepared. I can't openly favor you. No matter what the reason is, the attack on the official office will be the first thing to do."

Li Qinzai lowered his head and said, "Yes, so I ask you to imprison Dali Temple, so that Your Majesty won't be embarrassed."

Li Zhi shook his head: "You saved my daughter after all, how could I not know my grievances and mistakenly arrest the heroes."

"Your Majesty, in the eyes of outsiders, the minister is not a hero, but a sinful minister who is favored and proud. In order to calm the anger of the public, imprisoning the minister is the best choice. When the case of disgusting victory is completely settled and all the truth is revealed, the minister will avoid it." Get out of prison after the limelight, so His Majesty will not be embarrassed, and the minister can hide in peace."

Li Zhi clicked his tongue and said, "I actually think your words are very reasonable..."

Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "If I hadn't been imprisoned, I would have been even more worried when I heard the courtiers impeaching me every day. Although the conditions in the prison are difficult, at least I don't care about world affairs. The years are quiet and I can hide for a few days."

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I really need to have an attitude on this matter, otherwise it will be difficult to calm down the government and the public. Go back and clean up, go to the prison of Dali Temple for a few days, and come out after the matter subsides."

Li Qinzai agreed, then hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "After the matter subsides, Your Majesty must not forget that I am still squatting in Dali Temple. Please, Your Majesty must remember this person. It is fine for me to stay in prison for a few days, but I can't let you go." I will spend my whole life in prison, after all, I have sweated for Tang..."

Li Zhi's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Understood, even if you turn into ashes, I will never forget you."

Li Qinzai bid farewell and left Anren Hall, leaving only Li Zhi in the hall.

Sitting alone in the hall for a long time, Li Zhi's expression became more and more ugly, and he suddenly raised his voice, "Wang Changfu!"

The personal servant Wang Changfu stepped out from the screen at the back of the hall and bowed in salute.

Li Zhi said coldly: "What happened in Zongzheng Temple today, can Baiqi Division report?"

Wang Changfu bowed and said: "It is said that Li Yifu, the Duke of Hejian County, brought an eunuch and more than ten imperial troops, and wanted to kill the two princesses, but was stopped by Li Xianbo leading a trilogy. conflict."

Li Zhi's face became more and more stern: "Li Yifu? What a dare! My own daughter, even if she deserves to die for a crime, will it be an outsider's turn to do it?"

Wang Changfu lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything. He didn't dare to talk about this matter any further, especially that Li Yifu gave the princess to death under someone's order, which was a taboo topic in the palace.

Li Zhi didn't continue to ask, everything in the court was under his control, and he knew better than anyone what team Li Yifu was on.

"Pass down the decree to dismiss Li Yi's post as secretary and assistant minister, and reduce one hundred households in the public food town of Hejian County." Li Zhi said with a cold face.

Just as Wang Changfu was about to leave the palace, he was stopped by Li Zhi.

"Who is the eunuch who accompanied Li Yifu to Zongzheng Temple today?"

Wang Changfu hurriedly said: "The Baiqisi's report is... the queen's servant, named He Kuan."

Li Zhi said indifferently: "Let the Yulin Forbidden Army ask He Kuan, and he was killed with a stick in front of the palace gate."

Wang Changfu shuddered and took the order to retreat.

…………

Li Qinzai walked out of the palace gate, Liu Asi and other trilogy were waiting outside the palace gate, seeing Li Qinzai's relaxed face, he hurried forward to meet him.

"Wu Shaolang, does His Majesty blame you?"

Li Qinzai shook his head and smiled, "Not only did he not blame me, but he even rewarded me."

Liu Asi was stunned, then overjoyed: "Congratulations Wu Shaolang, the villain said earlier that His Majesty is still looking for you. By the way, what did His Majesty reward you?"

"I was rewarded with a big bed room in the prison of Dali Temple, the kind facing south."

Liu Ah Si was stunned, and murmured: "Dali Temple... Prison?"

Immediately, Liu Asi turned pale in shock: "This... Wu Shaolang, His Majesty wants you to be imprisoned in Dali Temple!"

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Liu Asi's face turned pale: "What a surprise, let's hurry back to the house and ask the old man to intercede..."

"Don't, don't alarm grandpa about this matter, the whole family must keep alive..."

Liu Ahsi: "..."

Li Qinzai didn't feel uncomfortable at all, instead he said enthusiastically: "Go, go back and pack your luggage, and move into Dali Temple today, and finally you can avoid this trouble!"

Liu Ahsi and the Buqus looked depressed. They couldn't figure out why Wu Shaolang was so happy as if he was in prison while he was in prison.

Get on the carriage and walk slowly towards the Duke's Mansion.

Li Qinzai suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, and said, "Si, ask someone to find Song Sen, and send me a message to close the net tonight."

A trilogy left in a hurry.

Back at the Duke's Mansion, Li Qinzai didn't go to see Li Ji, but hurriedly packed some luggage and went straight to Dali Temple.

Outside the gate of Dali Temple, a temple magistrate seemed to have received a message from the palace, and waited eagerly for Li Qinzai at the gate.

Li Qin got off the carriage, and stood excitedly at the gate of Dali Temple under the resentful eyes of the crowd.

Si Cheng hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Shen Shi, pay my respects to County Uncle Li."

Li Qinzai waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, is the cell I live in cleaned?"

Shen Shi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has just received a message from the palace, and His Majesty has given an explanation to treat County Uncle Li kindly. The prison has been cleaned, and we will wait for County Uncle Li to move in."

Li Qinzai sighed, "Don't use such a welcoming tone. I'm going to jail, not going to Dali Temple to pay my respects."

Shen Shi hurriedly adjusted his expression, and said: "Yes, there are complicated trivial matters outside the prison, and you are exhausted. Li Xianbo might as well hide in Dali Temple for a few days to be quiet, and let the imperial court give you a rest period."

Li Qinzai waved to the members, asking them to bring their luggage in, and then patted Shen Shi on the shoulder: "Please make me feel at home, please."
