Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 777

The emperor personally went off to be the referee, and the mortal hatred was instantly eliminated.

Dare not to eliminate it, at least King Teng didn't have the courage to disobey the emperor.

King Teng was doomed to be unpopular since he was born.

The reason is simple, he is the product of Li Shimin's house arrest of Li Yuan after the Xuanwumen Incident.

Killing brothers and killing brothers, forcing his own father to abdicate, Li Shimin generously allowed the official historian to write it in the history books, giving the magnificent Zhenguan Reign a bloody and cruel beginning.

Li Yuan abdicated and was imprisoned in the deep palace from then on. Li Shimin dedicated countless beauties to Li Yuan in those years.

The matter was irreversible, and the elderly Li Yuan also decided to lie down, so he was drunk and dreamed every day, doing the most absurd things with the beauties day and night.

King Teng was born during this period. Li Yuan had a total of 22 sons in his life. Most of his sons were born after being put under house arrest in Taiji Palace. King Teng ranked last. Although he was also named king, his status can be imagined.

King Teng struggled to get rid of the absurd birth background all his life.

However, when facing the orthodox emperor, he still felt inferior from the bottom of his heart.

This inferiority complex can easily be extended to obedience.

So Li Zhi made a very subtle beating, and King Teng immediately changed his tune.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, King Teng's obedience to the emperor came from the bottom of his heart, and he blurted out naturally without even thinking about it.

The stagnant air in the hall, following Teng Wang's "misunderstanding", suddenly the spring breeze melted the snow, and the clouds dispersed.

Li Qinzai smiled kindly at King Teng. Of course, he was not a man of rampant power. Li Zhi secretly poked him to help him, and Li Qinzai took advantage of the situation to make both of them step down.

"It is my fault that Your Highness's mansion was burned. I will bear all the losses of your mansion, and I will offer you compensation tomorrow. Please forgive me for offending you, Your Highness."

King Teng smirked all over his face, his cheeks were sore from laughing.

"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, young and frivolous, Meng Lang is inevitable, let the matter pass."

After being beaten by Li Zhi, King Teng behaved generously and well-behaved.

Obviously he was the victim, but he was injured a second time when he went to the palace to sue the imperial court. King Teng regretted it very much at this moment.

If I had known this before, why would I sue in such a polite way? He set fire to my mansion, and I set fire to the British government house.
Even if Li Ji comes to argue, this king will also take up the reason, afraid that he won't succeed?

Li Qinzai showed a look of admiration: "Your Highness is magnanimous and broad-minded, which is admirable."

King Teng's mood eased, and when he heard others praise, he subconsciously brushed his beard and smiled proudly and reservedly, and as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly came back to his senses.

He burned down my house and forced me to sign a marriage certificate. I almost gave up half my life. In the end, I was forced to forgive him... So, what is this king proud of?

So King Teng sat up straight suddenly, trying to show a sneer expression, but suddenly remembered Li Zhi's beating just now, the sneer expression suddenly turned into a sincere smile, and the two expressions changed so bluntly that the expression on his face Muscles present a twisted and weird appearance.

Li Zhi and Li Qinzai stared at King Teng's face without blinking. Seeing that King Teng looked like he was crying and smiling at the same time, they were puzzled.

King Teng's weird expression, do you want to cry or laugh?
With Li Zhi's help, Li Qinzai of course struck while the iron was hot, and tentatively said, "As for the marriage certificate..."

King Teng's expression was stunned, and then he said sharply: "The marriage certificate is not counted! It was forced to be signed by Wu Minzhi, a bastard, don't even think about it!"

Li Qinzai said innocently: "I didn't say anything..."

At this time, King Teng became extremely determined. He bowed to Li Zhichang and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, forgive me for your lack of manners. My daughter, the county magistrate of Jinxiang, will never marry a married man. Your Majesty will punish the crimes of the minister. It's not easy either!"

Li Zhi glanced at Li Qinzai in embarrassment, and said awkwardly, "I didn't say anything... Cough, I'm not an unreasonable person, am I?"

Li Qinzai nodded and said seriously, "Exactly."

Wu Minzhi on the side is not happy, the marriage certificate is the result of his hard work and madness, why can't he say a word?
"His Royal Highness Teng, no matter how the marriage certificate came about, it was signed by His Highness after all, so how can it not be counted?"

It's okay if Wu Minzhi didn't open his mouth, but when he opened his mouth, Prince Teng's painful memory was brought back. King Teng jumped up when he heard the words: "You, you bastard, how dare you talk? This king was almost killed by you, and you risked your life. Coercing and forcing this king to sign this marriage contract, this king will definitely pay back this hatred!"

Facing King Teng's fury, Wu Minzhi didn't care.

He wasn't even afraid of Empress Wu, but he was afraid of the humble prince Teng?

So Wu Minzhi curled his lips and said: "Your Highness, it's all right to go back on your word. You don't have to count, but once the marriage certificate is signed, it is signed. If the matter spreads, others don't care how it was signed. If you sign the marriage certificate and don't admit it, the world is in trouble." Everyone, can His Highness stop it?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Li Qinzai shut his mouth obediently, Li Zhi looked left and right, and shut his mouth wisely, Empress Wu had a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know who it was aimed at.

King Teng's face turned red quickly, and then gradually turned pale, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Wu Minzhi's words are not pleasant, but they are the truth.

The marriage certificate has been signed, and it is spread to let the world know that if Prince Teng repents, not only his own reputation will be damaged, but the reputation of the County Lord of Jinxiang will also be implicated. At that time, would the Yu family still want to marry Prince Teng?
As Wu Minzhi said, the marriage certificate is signed, and no one in the world cares about the process of signing the marriage certificate. What others hear and see is that King Teng turned his back on his promise and regretted the marriage.

The silent Li Qinzai also figured this out, and couldn't help but cast a surprised glance at Wu Minzhi.

I thought that this guy forced King Teng to sign the marriage letter because he went crazy and lost his mind. After all, the car is so fast that it is understandable to do anything.

Unexpectedly, Wu Minzhi forced King Teng to sign the marriage letter, and there was such a trap.

Signing the marriage certificate created an established fact and arbitrarily seized the initiative in the whole matter. No matter what the origin of the marriage certificate was, no matter whether the person Jin Xiang wanted to marry was married or not, in short, if it was signed, that was the fact.

In this era of focusing on contracts, it firmly binds personal and family reputation, reputation, morality, temperament, etc. together, and cannot be separated, and everything will be damaged.

A marriage letter is a contract in black and white.

Seeing King Teng's angry and struggling appearance, Li Qinzai's frown became tighter and tighter.

He likes the county magistrate of Jinxiang, and he longs to marry her eventually.

At this moment, hope is already in sight, as long as he adds more fire, and Li Zhi delivers a few coercive words from the side, King Teng may have to succumb to it.

However, is such success really what Li Qinzai hoped for?

What's the difference between blackmailing Jinxiang's father with a marriage certificate and Huang Shiren who forced Yang Bailao to sell his daughter?

If King Teng is forced to agree today, this matter will become a demon that he and Jin Xiang will never let go of for the rest of their lives.

"Marriage letter, don't count." Li Qinzai said suddenly.

Everyone was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.

Li Qinzai's tone became more and more firm, and he repeated again: "Marriage letter, don't count."

After speaking, he took out the marriage certificate from his bosom, stabbed it, and tore it up.
