My wife is Wu Zetian

Chapter 481: Money or face?

Looking at his daughter, Li Zhi was really angry this time.

It really made him angry that such a small Commander Yi dared to do such a thing.

"Father, what Di Renjie did was ordered by his daughter, and his trip is also to solve two arson cases.

If you want to punish him, let your daughter suffer on his behalf! "

Li Yanran turned a blind eye to Li Hong, who asked you to pass on a message, what exactly did you pass on.

It really got her drunk.

"kindness?"

Li Zhi also looked at Li Hong who was on the side, why didn't you say these things just now?
"???"

Seeing the two of them looking at him, Li Hong couldn't help but shuddered.

It's true that I didn't make it clear, but isn't that nervous?
We all know that when people are nervous, their brains will not work.

Isn't it normal to forget something?

"Whose money fell on the floor."

With a low drink, Li Hong ran away.

Li Zhi and Li Yanran looked at Li Hong as if they were two idiots. For a while, he didn't know whether to cooperate with his performance or expose him now.

To expose Li Hong now would make the kid look stupid.

But with his performance, he will look stupid again.

"Li Hong, stand still for me."

In the end, Li Zhi decided not to insult his own IQ. Why should his son be stupid and his father should pretend to be stupid?

He couldn't be led into a ditch by his son.

"Father, I admit that I did make omissions before.

But I didn't seem to say that Di Renjie falsely passed on the will of the elder sister to instigate the Duke of the State to fight with the second brother, please don't frame me. "

Li Hong stared at his father. Although what I said was not that accurate, I didn't say anything bad about Di Renjie either!
When you say that, it is obvious that you want to use Di Renjie as a scapegoat.

Your son will not take this blame.

Even if you want to recite it, you can't recite it yourself!

"You still dare to say that? Come here to me."

Li Zhi's face darkened and he glared at Li Hong.

It's okay for me to tear down your platform, but if you tear down your father's platform, then don't blame me for cleaning you up.

"I do not."

Li Hong shook his head, isn't that just waiting to be whipped?

"No? This is my will, do you dare to resist it?"

Li Zhi's eyes widened, "How dare you not listen to my will?"
Against you?

"Sister, help me!"

Li Hong moved towards Li Zhi and asked Li Yanran for help.

I gave you enough support just now, and now it's time for you to reciprocate.

"."

Li Yanran was also very depressed. Although she also wanted to clean up Li Hong who had lost the chain at this critical moment, this was not the time to retaliate.

"Royal father, do you know why today I didn't hesitate to turn against the second brother to prevent him from leaving the city?"

"Could it be that your second brother is really involved in the two fires in the city?"

Hearing Li Yanran's words, Li Zhi's face darkened.

Although he had already guessed that there might be such a result, it still hurts his heart when it really got involved.

"Father, the two fires have been found out, and someone deliberately set them up"

Li Yanran slowly told all the results of the fire investigation.

"That's why your second brother wanted to run away with those suspects, so Di Renjie tried his best to stop him."

Li Zhi is very smart, when Li Yanran said that the suspect is probably a log merchant, he guessed the key point.

Li Xiao must have had a guilty conscience and wanted to take people away, but Di Renjie caught him.

"That's right, father is really wise and powerful, peerless, and this Tang Dynasty can't hide anything from you."

Li Yanran smiled at her father, and flattered her in a moderate way.

"Don't put on such a high hat for me. Now that you have said all this, what do you think?"

Li Zhi doesn't take Li Yanran's fault at all, and his own daughter usually doesn't praise others.

Once you praise someone, there may be some pitfalls waiting for you.

"What are you going to do, father? After all, I am just a child. I have always been a daughter and do not seek political advice if I am not in my position."

Li Yanran shook her head, it is difficult for her to express her opinion in this situation, after all, this is Chang'an, not Lishan.

If she were in Lishan, she would have ripped off her second brother's head.

"Really? Then maintain what I just said and kill Di Renjie. This time, he provoked the incident. It is not wrong to kill him."

Li Zhi looked at his daughter, his eyes full of coldness.

Xiao Mian, if I can't cure you, how can I play around with the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

"???"

Li Yanran really won't do it now, I've said so much, you still want to chop off Di Renjie's head.

But knowing that you are the emperor, isn't this forcing the dumb to speak?
"Father, you are not such an ignorant person. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Di Renjie has made no mistakes. How could you kill meritorious officials without authorization?"

"Right, Brother Hong."

"???"

Hearing that Li Yanran had picked him up again, Li Hong refused with a full face.

Sister, I managed to escape with your hand, and now you want to drag me into the quagmire again, how can this be possible.

"Sister, I'm still a child, I don't know what you are talking about, Abba Abba."

Li Hong shook his head while pretending to be dumb.

The whole Li Hong has already gone offline, so don't call me if you have anything to do.

"This time is different. It involves the majesty of the Tang Dynasty royal family. If I don't take Di Renjie's action, how do you want me to calm down this matter?"

Li Zhi gave Li Hong an appreciative look, knowing that he had sought good fortune and avoided misfortune, and he had indeed grown up.

"Why don't you listen to my opinion?"

Li Yanran was so depressed, she just wanted to screw Li Hong's head off.

How did this girl save you just now, and how do you repay me now.

Pretend to be dumb, but also ababa?
When I go back to Mount Li, if I don’t hit you, Ababa, I won’t be your sister.

"Say it! I'm listening."

Li Zhi also sat up straight. In fact, he has always wanted to hear his daughter's opinion, just like before when he didn't recognize his relatives.

"Father, I think this incident is just an opportunity. The Tang Dynasty ruled the country by law, paying attention to the fact that princes commit the same crimes as ordinary people.

Why those aristocratic families, the local tyrants and evil gentry can dominate the local area is not because the Tang law is not effective in deterring them.
If the deterrence of Tang law can be regained through the matter of the second emperor brother, the Quartet will surely be cleared up, so why not do it? "

Li Yanran thought for a while, now that her father is talking about this matter so seriously, if she doesn't say something, I'm afraid she won't be able to fool her.

"Kill your royal brother as a warning to others? What are you thinking? What I want is the majesty of the royal family, do you understand?"

Li Zhi glared at Li Yanran, and made an example of your imperial brother, killing chickens and monkeys, what are you thinking?

Although it is said that the prince committed the same crime as the common people, if it really happened, the royal family would really become the laughing stock of the world.

He absolutely won't allow this to happen.

"Father, the second brother's move is indeed a bit too much, just take this opportunity to beat it, it's like making a bigger mistake later,

Moreover, the current arson cases are also very popular. There are actually many benefits to doing this.

The first is to be able to understand the canon of the law, so that everyone can perceive the majesty of Tang law.

Secondly, it can express the attitude of the royal family, that good must be praised, and evil must be punished.

In this way, not only will the majesty of the royal family be lost, but it will also deter other princes and princesses from acting recklessly.

The last step is to give an explanation to the people of Chang'an, to calm down the resentment caused by the two fires, and to give justice to the briquettes. "

Li Yanran looked at her father in front of her, she couldn't do without saying more.

If this point was not made clear to Li Zhi, the old man would really dare to chop off Comrade Xiao Di's head.

Moreover, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no royal majesty. His grandfather Li Shimin ascended the throne after the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

My father got this dragon chair, but few of his brothers and sisters died well.

The eldest son Li Chengqian, the eldest son, was killed for treason.

The third prince, Li Ke, was brilliant, but because his biological mother was a legacy of Da Sui, he was feared by his eldest grandson and forced him to hang himself.

Although the fourth prince Li Tai was treated favorably, he died of depression at the age of 32.

The fifth prince Li You conspired against him, was exiled, and died under confinement.

The sixth prince, Li Yin, was also implicated and deposed as a commoner because of his elder brother, and died in the end.

In such a royal family of the Tang Dynasty, except for the emperor, the other princes really did not have any royal majesty.

"You think a lot, but."

Li Zhi hesitated again. Even though what Li Yanran said made sense, he still couldn't make up his mind.

"Father, the arson case in Chang'an is no longer just about pushing a few businessmen out to appease the people's resentment.

When you give up, give up, otherwise the tens of thousands of guan you invested in the early stage will be in vain.

Originally, I thought I could make a lot of money by relying on honeycomb coal. If we don’t justify the name of honeycomb coal now, what we see here and there is a loss of 10,000+ coins.

If you count the long-term losses, there are still millions of guan. "

Seeing Li Zhi's hesitation, Li Yanran didn't give him a chance, and directly released her trump card.

If you don't like Di Renjie, then I'll tell you something you like.

She wants to see whether the illusory royal prestige is more important, or the millions of money.

Father, father, don't let your daughter down!

"Hundreds of millions?"

Hearing this appalling number, Li Zhi could only feel his whole body trembling, his little heart beating violently.

A million guan is a million guan.

Datang's annual tax is only so much, more than 1000 million guan.

You only have so many mouths, you really want to scare the baby to death.

Li Hong glanced at Li Zhi, who was trembling all over, and curled his lips.

Auntie is a pure fool.

Who would believe such nonsense?

A small briquette, millions of profits.

Even if you coax the ghost, the ghost will have to whip out the big-eared melon seeds.

That is you, my dear old man.

"Yes, Chang'an is now a pilot project, and I plan to wait until next year to fully roll out the briquettes and sell them all over the country.

If the reputation of briquettes is really damaged due to these two arson cases, it will be impossible to promote it abroad later. "

"So, whether Father wants money or face, it's up to you to decide."

Li Yanran also spread her hands, looking like you have nothing to do with the rain.

"Does it need to be said? That is my own son, and that is the majesty of the royal family."

With fixed eyes, Li Zhi spoke slowly.

"So, father, did you choose to support the second emperor brother and abandon the briquette?"

"How can it be? Although the royal family's face is important, briquettes are beneficial to the country and the people. For the sake of the people of the world, why would I be reluctant."

Li Zhi looked righteous and awe-inspiring, waiting to look at the precious daughter in front of him.

"Then what did you just say?"

Li Yanran was also a little confused. She didn't want you to say so many things.

"I'm just saying this to let you know that what I've paid for is the family affection and the face of the royal family, so when the time comes, can I share more?"

"???"
