Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 894
Li Zhi and Empress Wu are not simple characters, he and she can easily and accurately judge each other's intentions from clues.

It can only be said that this is the most basic instinct that a politician should possess.

Li Zhi only met Xu Jingzong once, and Empress Wu realized that something was wrong.

Li Zhi was about to attack her.

The husband and wife did not tear each other apart, just now in the Anren Hall, the couple was still in love with each other, any outsider who saw the scene just now would think that this couple is deeply in love and their life must be very sweet.

Except for the two parties involved, who can see the intrigue and deep hostility in it?
Li Yifu soon entered the palace, his expression was terrified and anxious, Empress Wu summoned him very urgently, Li Yifu didn't know what happened, but he knew it must be something bad.

Empress Wu chose a remote and almost deserted side hall to summon Li Yifu. The incident was urgent, and she didn't even have time to take care of the court rules to avoid suspicion.

Li Yifu was about to salute when he entered the palace, but was stopped by Empress Wu.

"Mr. Li, clean up the mansion immediately after you leave the palace. No matter what evil deeds you have done in the past, or what evil deeds you have done, in short, you must not leave any evidence, no matter physical evidence or personal evidence, you must hurry up. Eliminate."

Li Yifu trembled all over and said in horror: "Queen, why is this so?"

Empress Wu said coldly: "You don't need to ask any more questions, the palace only gives you two days, after two days, if there are courtiers raiding your home, you must ensure that they will not find any evidence of crime, understand?"

Li Yifu was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he immediately began to reflect on what he had done recently, and why disaster suddenly fell from the sky.

After thinking about it, Li Yifu became more and more confused.

I've been really honest recently, I haven't done anything.

By the way, last time at the Taiji Hall court meeting, Li Yifu also received hints from the emperor, and cooperated with Xu Jingzong to help Li Qinzai turn the tables and help the emperor severely suppress the Li family of Zhaojun.

This is a great achievement in front of the emperor, it's fine if the emperor doesn't reward him, why suddenly want to raid his house?Who did he provoke?
"Queen, the old minister is puzzled, please explain to the queen." Li Yifu was going crazy, and after a few words, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

The unprovoked wealth, life and future are threatened, and no one can hold back.

Empress Wu sighed, and said, "It's my palace that has troubled you..."

Li Yifu was taken aback, and looked up at Empress Wu. After all, he was a mature old fox. After a while, Li Yifu seemed to understand something.

"Because Mrs. Wei was poisoned?" Li Yifu asked cautiously.

In the past two days, Mrs. Wei was poisoned to death. There was a lot of discussion between the government and the public. Although the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice gave superficial reasons, it was indeed announced that the brothers of the Wu family did it. Unannounced.

Li Yifu, as the leader of the Queen's Party, of course knows the inside story of this matter better than anyone else.Mrs. Wei Guo died strangely, and she was a rival in love with the queen. Who is the real murderer in this case?

But he never thought that this matter would have something to do with him.

Empress Wu said nothing, but her expression said it all.

Li Yifu was silent, but his heart was extremely sad and indignant.

Mrs. Wei Guo was poisoned, but he didn't get involved at all. Why is he so unlucky?

Of course, he also understood what the emperor meant.

Regardless of whether you interfere or not, you are the Queen's party, and you are the Queen's party with the highest official position. If I want to cut the Queen's wings, of course I will take you. Who told you to hug the Queen's thigh in the first place.

"Mr. Li, I am sorry for you this time. You...be prepared, but I promise that after this incident, I will find an opportunity to reactivate you and restore you to your original position. You will just take a break for a year or two." Go." Empress Wu said in a low voice.

Li Yifu smiled miserably.

He is over 50 years old, and in his twilight years, even if he can be reactivated within two years, how many years can he remain in the court?Moreover, if the Son of Heaven decides to act harshly, not only will he be dismissed from his official position, he will even lose his title as Duke of the County.

It is easy to restore the official position, but it is even more difficult to restore the title.

The blessings of future generations are inexplicably gone.

As for whether the emperor can find out his criminal evidence, Li Yifu expressed his pessimism.

Don't say that he has indeed done a lot of outrageous things over the years. Even if he is really innocent, isn't it easy for the emperor to deal with someone?If there is no evidence, evidence can be found abruptly. The severity of the evidence depends entirely on how far the emperor intends to do him.

"Queen, He Gu, an old minister, unexpectedly suffered such an innocent disaster, queen..." Li Yifu finally couldn't bear the psychological pressure, and knelt in front of Empress Wu and cried loudly.

Empress Wu pursed her lips, and a trace of guilt flashed across her face.

After all, she was too confident, misjudged the situation, and also misjudged Li Zhi's reaction.

Li Zhi's true and false affection for her on weekdays is also one of the reasons why she misjudged Li Zhi's psychology.

She thought it would be fine to kill a Mrs. Wei, but it was just a beautiful young woman, and it would be nice to pay him a few younger and more beautiful ones. Isn't beauty what a man seeks? It's important who looks beautiful ?
Moreover, Li Zhi's usual gentle image also gave her a great illusion. She rarely saw Li Zhi get angry, and she always spoke softly to her, and seldom even said serious words.

Perhaps it was because Li Zhi was so gentle that Empress Wu felt that he would not care too much about killing a Mrs. Wei, after all, she had offered to choose a young and beautiful concubine for him.

It was only now after seeing Li Zhi's performance that Empress Wu realized that Li Zhi was not a weak and incompetent emperor, but a very wise and rational emperor, even better than his father Li Shimin.

Gentleness and cowardice are just his appearance. What he wants to do, who he has to deal with, and the country he wants to conquer, have always been vigorous and resolute, and he rarely fails.

Such a majestic and powerful emperor, how dare she take advantage of him?

This time, Empress Wu really touched Li Zhi's back.

Ni Lin is not Mrs. Wei, but a bully, offending the imperial power that he values ​​most.

Right in the Taiji Palace, right under Li Zhi's nose, you dare to openly kill people, and then you even make up a bad reason that no dog can believe to fool him, isn't that just killing you?
Empress Wu sighed helplessly, at this moment she wished she could slap herself hard.

Putting the crime of poisoning Mrs. Wei on the brothers of the Wu family, not only got rid of the enemy, but also got rid of the rival in love.

However, from the moment she misjudged Li Zhi's psychology, she was doomed to lose completely.

Now she is more anxious about what Li Zhi will do next.

Cutting off the wings was a blow to her, or it was just a warm-up before the big event happened. Does he have any plans to abolish her?
