Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 749 Jumping the beam clown
In theory, Li Zhi is Wu Yuanshuang's brother-in-law.

Of course, even if Wu Yuanshuang had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to call him "brother-in-law". Isn't it good to live?

The miserable howling of the eldest brother was heard in Li Zhi's ears, and there was no disturbance in his heart.

When the matter was clarified, Li Qinzai and Xue's Gao family went to drink in the brothel, and Wu Yuanshuang also drank in the brothel.

The two groups drank too much wine in the brothel, and then fought, and Wu Yuanshuang was beaten.

The matter is as simple as that, what can Li Zhi express?Do you want to elevate this matter to a political level?Don't be ashamed.

"I see, I see, I know how miserable you are." Li Zhi nodded, but his attitude was a bit perfunctory.

A fight in a brothel is such a trivial matter that it actually got in front of the king of a country. It has to be said that Wu Yuanshuang really has no clue about his status.

"My brother was beaten, what do you want?" Empress Wu asked coldly.

Wu Yuanshuang gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please punish Li Qinzai severely. A madman commits evil, and the law of the country does not allow it!"

Li Zhi quickly glanced at Empress Wu, but said nothing.

This is the queen's housework, and Li Zhi doesn't want to interfere. Besides, he doesn't like Wu Yuanshuang either. Li Zhi has also heard about some of Empress Wu's experiences back then. Li Zhi doesn't like people like the Wu family brothers.

Wu Yuanshuang was unaware of the Tian Family's couple's dislike for him, but revealed a mysterious expression, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Empress, I heard that the villain Li Qinzai uttered nonsense at the court meeting yesterday, and dared to persuade Your Majesty to enshrine Zen and Taishan... ..."

"Being so daring and reckless, it's a big breach of duty as a courtier. It may be inconvenient for His Majesty to deal with Li Qinzai in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu court, but the minister was beaten up by him last night. Isn't this an excellent reason?"

"Because of Li Qinzai's loss of morality after drinking, His Majesty issued a strict order to reprimand him. At that time, whether he was expelled from the noble or exiled, it was up to His Majesty to drive this villain far away from the capital. Naturally, no one dared to object to his majesty enshrining Zen and Mount Tai. ..."

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this proposal?"

After Wu Yuanshuang finished speaking, Empress Wu's eyelids twitched twice, and she quickly glanced at Li Zhi.

Originally, he didn't intend to deal with such trivial matters, but it has to be said that Wu Yuanshuang came to the palace today to file a complaint. For a moment, Empress Wu was quite tempted by Wu Yuanshuang's proposal.

Yes, she still wants to work harder, she needs the ceremony of Fengchan Taishan more than Li Zhi.

If Li Qinzai was relegated because of this matter, no one in the Manchu court would have any reason to object. After all, Li Qinzai did commit a crime of losing his morals after drinking, and the emperor's punishment is also reasonable.

Empress Wu said nothing, and quickly looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's complexion suddenly became gloomy, Empress Wu's heart skipped a beat, feeling hopeless, she sighed secretly, and looked at Wu Yuanshuang expressionlessly.

Wu Yuanshuang didn't realize it, he was still complacent because he came up with a brilliant idea, to share the worries of the emperor, to avenge the emperor, what a good opportunity, he seized it!

Li Zhi no longer had a funny expression on his face, but gradually became serious, walked up to Wu Yuanshuang, and looked down at him from a high position.

"Wu Yuanshuang, why did you argue with Li Qinzai last night?" Li Zhi asked suddenly.

Wu Yuanshuang gritted his teeth and said: "I was drinking with my friends in the Qinglou Pavilion, Li Qinzai rushed in with the trilogy and beat me up without a word."

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes: "With Li Jingchu's personality, would he do it for no reason?"

"Your Majesty, Li Qinzai was a dandy who ran rampant in Chang'an back then. Many people were beaten up by him for no reason. This minister is just one of the victims."

Li Zhi smiled.

He knew that Li Qinzai was really miserable before, but in recent years, Li Qinzai has been reborn. If there was no reason last night, Li Qinzai would not do anything for no reason.

Although he still hated Li Qinzai's behavior at the court meeting, Li Zhi was still a reasonable emperor after all, and he knew Li Qinzai's temperament quite well, so he would not easily believe Wu Yuanshuang's one-sided remarks.

"Wu Yuanshuang, I'm too lazy to care about the reason for your fight, but if you think I'm going to make a fuss about this to punish Li Qinzai severely, then you've misunderstood me."

Li Zhi squatted down, his eyes were level with Wu Yuanshuang, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

"The fight for Feng Chan is about the political affairs of the state, the foundation of the country, and the integrity of the state. No matter whether it is right or wrong, I will gladly accept it."

"However, if you want me to make a big fuss about a trivial matter and make a big deal out of it, severely punish the officials who directly admonish me, I can't do this kind of thing."

Wu Yuanshuang looked at Li Zhi in astonishment, and didn't recover for a while.

This... the painting style is different from what I imagined.

Li Zhi still had a smile on his face, but he said slowly: "You are a villain, but I am not. Go back and recuperate well, and don't run around."

Empress Wu beside her sighed secretly, and hated the elder brother in front of her even more.

Things that are not enough to succeed, but have more than enough to fail!

Wu Yuanshuang was stunned for a while, then stammered: "Your Majesty, minister, minister... you've been beaten!"

Li Zhi nodded: "I know you were beaten. By the way, don't you feel any pain now?"

Wu Yuanshuang was startled, clutching his stomach and screaming in pain: "It hurts, it hurts! I'm in so much pain that I don't want to live!"

Li Zhi laughed and turned to look at Empress Wu.

Empress Wu's face was covered with frost, and she shouted: "Come here, send Wu Shaojian out of the palace. Your Majesty said, don't run around while recuperating. Wu Yuanshuang is not allowed to go out for three months!"

The bewildered Wu Yuanshuang was carried out of the Taiji Palace, and he didn't even think to understand why he made himself seem like a perpetrator when he was clearly suing today.

Is there a problem with the communication just now?

In the Taiji Palace, Empress Wu said with a face full of shame: "Your Majesty, my concubine's elder brother is really...too unbelievable, like a clown, polluting your Majesty's sight and hearing, it is my concubine's crime."

Li Zhi waved his hands with a smile: "It's okay, who doesn't have a few relatives who don't live up to it. Among my relatives, there are more people who don't live up to it. It's just out of sight and out of mind."

Empress Wu bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, what happened to Feng Chan..."

Li Zhi hummed, looking indifferently at the blue sky and white clouds outside the hall.

After a long time, Li Zhi suddenly said: "Queen, you said that Li Jingchu offended me so much, what is his reason?"

"Whether it's the courage of a common man or the courage of a gentleman, there is a reason for him to stand up and argue with the emperor regardless of life and death. Empress, what do you think Li Jingchu is doing?"

Empress Wu bowed her head in silence, she knew the answer, but she didn't want to face it.

Li Zhi said leisurely: "People in the world are busy and bustling, either for fame or profit. Li Jingchu is a lazy and unambitious person. He opposes Feng Chan so fiercely, is it also for fame and fortune?"

"He has made so many contributions to the society. If he wants fame and wealth, he just needs to ask, and I will give it to him naturally. Why should I almost break with me?"

Li Zhi glanced at the silent Empress Wu, and said with a smile: "Because of the suggestion of Feng Chan, he offended you a lot, right?"

Empress Wu sighed, and said helplessly, "Yes."

"If you dare to offend the emperor and the empress at the same time, Li Jingchu dares to do this, haha."

Empress Wu carefully looked at Li Zhi's face, and saw that there was no sadness or joy on his face, and there was no clue.

Li Zhi said leisurely: "Queen, do you think we will be a pair of tolerant and magnanimous kings and empresses, or a pair of foolish couples who must be punished and will be infamous in history books in the future?"
