Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 778

There must be a bottom line in life, no matter whether you are poor or rich, powerful or poor, you must have a bottom line.

A person who has lost his bottom line is like a beast that has escaped from a cage. It has gained freedom, but it will bring disaster to others, and a free beast will eventually be completely destroyed.

Li Qinzai liked Jin Xiang and made up his mind to marry her back home.

But he couldn't convince himself to force King Teng to compromise with a marriage letter.

From the standpoint of King Teng, he is just a father who tried his best to protect his daughter.

Li Qinzai didn't want to see King Teng being overwhelmed by the power, no matter whether King Teng finally chose to compromise or fight to the death, Li Qinzai didn't want to see it.

Whether it is a compromise in grief or indignation, or a struggle, it is the greatest irony of human nature.

Li Qinzai is also a father, and a person who becomes a father will always be kinder than when he was young.

It is not the benevolence of women, but the fear of heaven and cause and effect.

He was afraid that the evil he had done would be punished by his children in the future.

Every father who loves his children has some degree of such awe in his heart.

"Of course the marriage certificate can't be counted. It was originally a joke made by Minzhi's virtuous brother. This joke has gone too far." Li Qinzai looked at King Teng and smiled.

On the floor of the main hall, the marriage certificate was torn into pieces and spread out quietly on the ground.

All eyes in the hall were focused on him, including King Teng, everyone's eyes were full of disbelief.

Li Zhi already had the thoughts of Li Qinzai and Jinxiang county magistrate, and he was thinking of an excuse, how to make this marriage letter from a prank to a formal and reasonable one.

The county magistrate marries a married man, of course it doesn't sound good to say it, but Li Zhi's personal life is messy, and the queen sitting next to him is still a corner he pried from his own father. Very happy, and I don't think it's a big deal for a married man to marry the county head.

For a capable national treasure like Li Qinzai, what's wrong with marrying more wives?According to Li Zhi's simple logic, talented people should marry more wives, and marry more noble wives.

In the future, it will be a good thing for Datang Sheji to have countless descendants of geniuses like Li Qinzai.

But Li Zhi didn't expect that Li Qinzai tore up the marriage certificate without hesitation.

This is tantamount to giving up his own initiative. Without a marriage certificate, why should King Teng compromise?
Wu Minzhi couldn't help shouting: "Brother Jingchu, are you stupid? I finally..."

Li Qinzai glanced at Wu Minzhi coldly, and said, "If you have a daughter in the future and are favored by powerful people, aren't you afraid that others will treat you like this?"

Wu Min was taken aback, then sneered: "Which powerful person dares to have my daughter's idea?"

Li Qinzai also sneered: "Power is like a high mountain, and there are mountains beyond the mountain, so you are so sure that your power will never fall, and you will always overwhelm others?"

"I don't know what you think, but I am the father of the child, and my wife is still pregnant. I am afraid of retribution, and I dare not do evil. That's right, I am so cowardly."

A strange look flashed in the eyes of Empress Wu who was sitting quietly, even though she and Li Qinzai had become enemies now, she still couldn't help but look at him twice more.

But Li Zhi slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "Okay! Jing Chu walks upright, stands upright, stands upright and upright, a man should be like this!"

In the hall, only King Teng looked at him with complicated eyes. He couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment. There was relief, gratitude, and a touch of resentment.

"You, you gave up marrying my daughter, didn't you?" Teng Wang asked hopefully.

Li Qinzai shook his head: "Of course not, I still want to marry her."

King Teng was startled, and said: "But you tore up the marriage certificate, isn't it just..."

"Does tearing up the marriage certificate have anything to do with marrying your daughter?" Li Qinzai smiled and said, "I just don't like to force you in this way, but I still want to marry your daughter."

King Teng was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "I don't agree!"

"Old man, accept your fate, don't struggle anymore..." Li Qinzai said sincerely.

King Teng jumped up again: "Who is your father-in-law? Don't scream, this king won't admit it!"

Li Zhi coughed twice again, and King Teng immediately lowered his eyebrows and looked obediently.

The monarch and his subjects chatted for a while, and then dispersed.

King Teng went to the palace to file a complaint, and the matter was resolved, but not completely.

Li Qinzai was willing to pay compensation for the burning of the palace, but both sides still refused to back down on the matter of marrying the county lord of Jinxiang.

It doesn't matter, it's a long time coming.

Wu Minzhi followed Li Qinzai and was about to walk out of the hall, but was stopped by Empress Wu.

Empress Wu asked Wu Minzhi to stay with a cold face, Li Qinzai turned to look at Empress Wu, saluted with a smile, and exited the hall.

King Teng walked out of the Taiji Palace and was just about to board the carriage when he suddenly froze, pondered for a while, called an attendant, and asked him to go to Zongzheng Temple, and withdrew the pleadings against Li Qinzai and Wu Minzhi.

King Teng saw many facts in the palace today, among which Li Zhi's attitude towards Li Qinzai shocked King Teng.

Although King Teng is an old dandy who does not seek to make progress, he is an adult born in the royal family after all, and his basic political vision is relatively keen.

He could already see that Li Zhi was very partial to Li Qinzai, if it wasn't for Li Qinzai's status as a married man, it is estimated that Li Zhi would have decreed the marriage a long time ago, so there is no need for his consent.

At the same time, King Teng's hostile attitude towards Li Qinzai also made Li Zhi somewhat dissatisfied, so Li Zhi beat him implicitly today.

So after King Teng came out of the palace, the first thing he did was to revoke the pleadings from Zongzheng Temple.

The court was dangerous, and King Teng was not as capable as Li Qinzai, and he walked every step with trepidation. He didn't want to arouse Li Zhi's dissatisfaction.

His daughter is his bottom line, he can fight without fear, but other things don't matter.

The pleadings are handed over to Zongzheng Temple, will Zongzheng Temple really know how to handle Li Qinzai?

Heh, Li Zhi threw a look at him, and Zongzhengsi didn't dare to fart.

Even if Zongzheng Temple is established, so what?It was just burning down a few houses in the palace, and the fine was at most half a year. This kind of punishment was not enough to scratch Li Qinzai's itch.

So, what is the use of suing Li Qinzai?It's better to take the initiative to withdraw the paper of pleadings and make a good impression on the emperor.

Tai Chi Palace.

Wu Minzhi stood bored waiting outside the hall, while Li Zhi and Empress Wu were discussing in the hall.

"It's true Jingchu, why did he just fall in love with the county magistrate of Jinxiang? A daughter of a clan can't be married as a concubine, right?" Li Zhi smiled helplessly.

Empress Wu's expression was a little cold, she hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you help Li Jingchu."

Li Zhi looked at her in surprise: "You are actually willing to accomplish this?"

Empress Wu sighed faintly, of course she didn't want to make it happen, the dispute over Li Qinzai in Fengshan spoiled her good deeds, she already regarded Li Qinzai as an enemy.

No matter how big a woman is, it's impossible for her to fulfill her enemy's wish willingly, right?

However, if it is not perfect, it will not work, the time and the trend.
