Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 857
It doesn't matter whether Qibi Heli's "understood" was actually understood by Li Qinzai. Li Qinzai thinks that it is not a bad thing for everyone to be beaten several times in their youth and youth.

At least after becoming a man, every time he speaks or does something, the scars on his body will remind him not to make mistakes.

Adults should be responsible for what they say and do. It is better to be beaten by relatives than to be slapped by strangers in society.

It just so happens that Qibizhen has been a little bit of a drifter in the school lately, even if Qibi Heli doesn't whip him, Li Qinzai will find an unfounded reason to whip him.

On the Taiji Palace City, the bells of the Bell and Drum Towers rang, and the courtiers stood in line one after another.

After a long while, the gate of the palace opened wide, the courtiers filed in, and the court meeting began.

Li Qinzai followed the team into the Taiji Hall, and waited for a long time with the officials. Li Zhicai, who was wearing a yellow robe and a twelve-fold crown on his head, entered the hall slowly.

After the officials saluted, Li Zhi sat quietly at the head, waiting for the officials to come out to discuss matters.

The atmosphere of today's court meeting was very strange. Li Zhi sat in the hall and waited for a long time, but no one spoke.

Li Zhi looked around the hall, smiled and said: "You have nothing to do, could it be that the Tang Dynasty has been peaceful all over the world, the country is rich and the people are strong, and there are no worries inside and outside?"

Suddenly, there were a few grotesque hums from the crowd of courtiers in the hall.

Obviously, in such a weird atmosphere, some upright courtiers still expressed full ridicule at Li Zhi's words.

Li Qinzai dared to swear that Liu Rengui was definitely involved in these grotesque hums.

Don't ask why, it's because Liu Rengui is the most upright in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

After all, Li Zhi was broad-minded, and he didn't mind the ridicule from the hall, and still looked around the officials with a smile on his face.

The silence continued, and the officials looked at each other. In fact, everyone knew that Li Qinzai's participation in the court meeting today was a face-to-face confrontation between two forces.

Now the formation has been set up, both the enemy and us are present, but everyone is hesitating who will stand up as the striker first and take the lead in attacking the enemy.

In the crowd, Prime Minister Xu Jingzong's face was expressionless, but a pair of cloudy old eyes rolled around.

When his eyes fell on Li Yifu opposite, Xu Jingzong was taken aback.

He found something different in Li Yifu's eyes.

It was a kind of look that was in harmony with him for the time being.

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu have never been in the same way, and their respective backers are different.

Xu Jingzong was born in Tiance Mansion back then, and was once one of the eighteen famous Zhenguan bachelors. Among the other dozen or so bachelors, there were Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda and other celebrities. In other words, Xu Jingzong back then was With these famous people.

If Li Shimin hadn't used it angrily because he laughed rudely at Empress Changsun's funeral for no reason, and the courtiers took a hard copy, otherwise Xu Jingzong would have been the candidate for the chancellor as early as the Zhenguan period.

Look, Li Qinzai is not the only bastard in Datang?Xu Jingzong is an asshole, how is he worse than Li Qinzai?

As for Li Yifu, in the early years, he was just an official of the East Palace when Li Zhi was the prince. Later, he stood in the right position in the event of abolishing the king and establishing Wu, and decisively embraced the thick thigh of Empress Wu.

The backgrounds and starting points of the two are different. In terms of seniority and background, Xu Jingzong is much stronger than Li Yifu, and Li Yifu has always been a staunch henchman of the rear party, which Xu Jingzong despises.

However, at today's court meeting, the two inadvertently looked at each other, and at the same time showed a look of embarrassment in their eyes.

With a glance at Millennium, the two immediately understood.

Today, it's not just Li Qinzai dealing with the family, but the emperor and the empress working together, let's make an alliance.

No one spoke in the hall for a long time, but the atmosphere became more and more chill.

The eyes of many people gradually focused on Li Qinzai, a look that wanted to swallow him alive.

Li Qinzai stood unmoved in the courtroom. He looked at his nose and heart expressionlessly, as if he was just an irrelevant bystander in the court meeting, calm and detached.

After a long time, just when Li Zhi was a little impatient, the officials whispered for a while, and when one of them was about to stand up to speak, Li Qinzai suddenly moved.

He first stepped out of court, saluted Li Zhi first, and then said proudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to do."

Li Zhi was suddenly surprised, and the officials in the hall were also in an uproar.

In fact, everyone knows that today's court meeting is an offensive and defensive battle.

The attacking party is the aristocratic family forces. They are numerous and powerful and hold high the banner of "morality", and they are always disadvantageous.

On the defensive side was Li Qinzai, who was weak and fighting alone. Li Zhi was worried that he would not be able to cope, and even arranged allies for him.

Unexpectedly, it was the defensive side who stood up first, and Li Zhiwei was really surprised.

This is so frustrating for me, the rhythm is out of order.

"You go back first..." Li Zhi blurted out, and then noticed the strange expressions of the officials, Li Zhi suddenly felt awkward, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "If Li Qing has something to do, just play it."

Li Qinzai cleared his throat, looked up at Li Zhi, and said in a loud voice, "Your minister attends Dali Temple Shaoqing Li Youdao!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and the monarchs and ministers looked at him in shock.

The discussion became louder and louder, and the solemn Golden Palace almost turned into a vegetable market, with all kinds of whispering noises, the officials whispered to each other, and looked at Li Qinzai strangely.

In the crowd, Li Youdao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, turned pale, and then turned white to red, obviously angry from fear, already very angry.

Li Zhi's expression was also extremely shocked. After a long time, Li Zhi said slowly: "Why did Li Qing participate in the impeachment of Li Youdao?"

Li Qinzai said sonorously and forcefully: "I have committed four crimes in participating in Li Youdao."

"First, Li Youdao secretly instigated to spread rumors in Chang'an City to slander and slander the reputation of ministers. This is the act of a villain."

"Secondly, Li Youdao took advantage of the power of the aristocratic family to seek fame from his ministers, and used this to install the children of the aristocratic family as officials, destroying the imperial examination system that His Majesty has planned for many years. The crime is heinous."

"Thirdly, Li Youdao failed to lure him, so he turned to intimidation. He killed thirteen horses at the entrance of the minister's Zhuangzi village, using this threat to force the minister to submit."

"Fourth, Li Youdao formed a lot of cliques in the court, secretly planted forces, interfered in the affairs of the court, one person ascended to the top, and the four echoed. The heart of disobedience is clearly revealed."

After Li Qinzai finished speaking, the hall fell into deathly silence.

Li Youdao's face became paler and paler, and Li Zhi's expression also became gloomy and cold.

The four major crimes, every word punishes the heart.

Especially the last one is the most serious. No matter how broad-minded the emperor is, no matter how broad-minded the emperor is, he must not tolerate it.

The comments of the ministers also disappeared, and everyone was extremely horrified.

Unexpectedly, Li Qinzai would directly flip the table as soon as he appeared on the stage. This was really an endless battle.

After a long time, the pale Li Youdao jumped out, pointed at Li Qinzai in surprise and anger and said, "Li Qinzai, framing a courtier is a felony, how dare you deceive the emperor in front of the emperor!"

Li Qinzai turned to face him, and smiled at him: "Li Shaoqing, do you dare to do it or not?"
