Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 615
Taishan Fengchan is a typical feudal superstition activity. Its general content is that the emperor climbed to the top of the mountain and chatted with God as the emperor, with a group of listeners listening to the chatter behind him.

"Feng Chan" is a very high-level word, which means that the emperor is very powerful, the country I govern is very prosperous, and the territory of the empire is getting bigger and bigger.

It's so awesome that it's not enough to have a chat with your ancestors in front of the Taimiao, so you have to have a chat with God.

This is the essence of "Feng Chan".

Fengchan is a highest-level sacrificial ceremony. Before the emperor decides to enshrine Zen, the three provinces and six departments of the court must start preparations.

Human, material and financial resources, from the moment the emperor's Luan drove out of the palace, the accompanying guards of honor, the cities he passed along the way, the temporary palace for a night or two, the rare treasures and food and meat prepared in various places, all kinds of Livestock and poultry that are slaughtered for sacrifice...

And the people everywhere must put down their farm work. Under the supervision of local officials, they will unconditionally build various palaces, temples, Taoist temples, rest and flat avenues, etc. The amount of work is huge, and the material and financial resources and food they spend are not inferior to starting a war. war.

Don't think that the emperor's Fengchan is really kowtow to God on the top of the mountain, read a few lengthy articles to worship heaven, and show off his achievements to God.

There may be only so many things the emperor has to do, but when it extends to the court and the people, the manpower and material resources consumed are simply a disaster.

This is also the reason why Li Qinzai hesitated to speak.

He does not want Li Zhi to do this from the bottom of his heart. He is an atheist and has no feeling for the so-called enshrining Zen to worship the heavens. He only knows that once the enshrining of Zen is enshrined, the annual revenue of the imperial treasury next year will not be enough for Li Zhi to make a meal.

Is it necessary to waste people's money and cause national grievances just for an illusory Fengchan?Do you care about the life and death of the people?
If it is said that the money, food and grass from the treasury will be used to start a war, Li Qinzai must support it. After all, this is the national interest. Gritting his teeth and living a hard life for a year or two, in exchange for a larger territory of the Tang Dynasty and more resources. Absolutely It is a profit without a loss.

In order to create an opportunity for the emperor to chat with God, the whole country and subjects spent countless financial and material resources. After chatting, the emperor went back to the palace. What did the common people get?
Li Qinzai couldn't help but quickly glanced at Empress Wu.

The idea was made by this woman. In order to please Li Zhi, she would not hesitate to use people's fat and people's ointment as favors. What the hell... If this is my own woman, her buttocks will be swollen after taking off her pants.

The Tian family couple laughed happily. Li Zhilong was undoubtedly delighted by Taishan Fengchan's proposal. The relationship between husband and wife, which had been cold for many days, finally showed some signs of recovery, and Empress Wu was also happy.

Seeing Li Qinzai's forced smile, Li Zhi couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with Jingchu? The queen offered advice to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, what does Jingchu think?"

Li Qinzai managed to squeeze out a smile.

When he was happy, he didn't want to ruin Li Zhi's happiness. There are too many people in the court, and there are too many courtiers in the world. After thousands of years, there is only one admonisher Wei Zheng, which shows that telling the truth in front of the emperor has a real survival rate. not tall.

Resisting his dissatisfaction, Li Qinzai smiled and said, "If Your Majesty wants to enshrine Zen, I will follow you at that moment."

Li Zhi was already a little flustered, and he said happily: "I will think about the Fengchan matter again. If there is a decision, I will call the courtiers to discuss it..."

Seeing Li Qinzai turning his head to look at the sky outside the palace from time to time, Li Zhi smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I left home, and I feel like returning home. I'm afraid Jing Chu won't be able to stay in the palace anymore. That's all, the banquet is over today, Jing Chu will go home soon." go."

Li Qinzai hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"Go back quickly, I will find you to play in a few days, the pig's trotters you made last time were good, let me make them again."

"My minister retire."

…………

Walking out of the Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai temporarily put aside the matter of Li Zhi Feng Chan Taishan. After all, he is just a salted fish. When the emperor is excited to do something, he really shouldn't say anything more as a salted fish.

It wasn't because he was afraid of annoying Li Zhi, but mainly because he didn't want to offend Empress Wu. The relationship between Li Qinzai and her had improved slightly.

Whether it's in the court or in the rivers and lakes, it's not fighting and killing, it's all about the world.

Walking out of the palace gate, there was a double-horse carriage on the flat open space. Behind the carriage stood hundreds of tributaries, who were guards of honor for the Duke.

Li Qinzai suddenly found the housekeeper Wu Tong standing in front of the carriage, and saluted him with a smile: "Congratulations to Wu Shaolang on his successful return to the capital, Marquis of Jin County. I am under the order of the old man to take Wu Shaolang home."

The following parts all bowed and shouted: "Congratulations to Wu Shaolang, Marquis of Jin County."

Li Qinzai was taken aback: "I just left the palace, and you heard the news?"

Wu Tong said with a smile: "When Wu Shaolang was in the palace, the angel had already gone to our house to proclaim the decree. Wu Shaolang is amazing. He was already a Marquis of Jin County in his early twenties. In the future, a family of two countries is just around the corner. , our Li family is destined to flourish and last for a hundred years."

Li Qinzai waved his hand: "Let's talk about it when we go home. With such a big battle in front of the palace gate, aren't you afraid that the censor will impeach him?"

Butler Wu helped Li Qin into the carriage, and the group hurried towards the Duke's Mansion.

The carriage passed through Zhuque Street, and when it was approaching the door of the Duke's Mansion, Li Qinzai lifted the curtain, and suddenly saw Qiao'er sitting alone on the stone steps outside the door, resting her chin on her hands and staring blankly at the bustling streets.

Li Qinzai was startled, and a picture involuntarily appeared in his mind.

When the God of War came back, he found that his son had been kicked out of the house to beg for food on the street. The God of War was furious. With an order, a hundred thousand soldiers came from the frontier, and each of them gave his son a penny...

The picture is warm and moving.

Li Qinzai immediately ordered the car to stop and rushed out by himself.

Qiao'er, who was eager to see through, happened to see Li Qinzai jumping out of the carriage, his eyes lit up immediately, and he ran towards Li Qinzai with a big grin.

"father--!"

Li Qinzai also laughed and hugged him, and then hugged him in circles like a dog blood idol drama, and circled around, Qiao'er's whole world was spinning, sprinkled with silver bells of laughter.

Li Qinzai looked at Qiao'er with a blushing face, and before he could express his long-lost fatherly love, he suddenly noticed that Qiao'er's face was not right, and was about to stop circling, when Qiao'er suddenly vomited and vomited all over Li Qinzai's body.

Li Qinzai stopped in astonishment, looked down at the colorful clothes, his face was uncertain.

Qiao'er said weakly: "Father, don't spin anymore, I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy..."

Li Qinzai's cheeks twitched violently a few times: "What a big daddy..."

The steward Wu next to him stomped his feet and hurriedly ordered his servants to change Li Qinzai's clothes. Before he even entered the house, he was spat all over by his own son.
