Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 326 Middle-aged couple, left hand touching right hand
Li Zhi was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He was held in the palm of Li Shimin's hand since he was a child, and he hardly suffered any pain.

In Li Qinzai's view, he was more like a rich and well-fed son. The difference was that this rich and noble man had no dandy habits, but cared about the suffering of the people.

A truly competent emperor will regard the people of the world as his own private property and will not allow his property to be violated.

Using foreign troops is like spending money. You must be stingy and cautious, because every penny you spend is one penny less. In a disaster year, it is like an unplanned expenditure. You must cut down on food and clothing to save money.

Li Qinzai was sent to Bingzhou because Li Zhi discovered that his private property had been violated and someone was stealing his money, so the thief had to be found out.

If understood in this way, the emperor is actually a small social animal living a tight life.

"Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in Bingzhou. I have ordered the officers and men of the Ningshuo Governor's Mansion to dig ditches and build reservoirs. If there is another severe drought in the coming year, it should not affect the harvest too much," Li Qinzai reported: "The grain merchants in Bingzhou are driving up grain prices. We have also dealt with it, with the support of powerful people behind the grain merchants, and the minister has taken them all."

Li Zhi nodded: "I have read your memorandum, and I have also read the confession of the criminals. You have done a good job. You should question such moths. These people will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I am afraid that some of the leaders will be killed. Otherwise, it will be difficult to appease the hearts of the people.”

There was killing intent in Li Zhi's eyes.

Li Qinzai said again: "Your Majesty, there are still people from them in the court of Chang'an. It is inconvenient for me to presume to do so. Your Majesty please make a decision."

Li Zhi said without hesitation: "I have ordered the Ministry of Punishments to take them all down. In the year of the catastrophe, all the evil will be eliminated. If my subordinates are lenient, they will give those moths the illusion that they will not pay the price by taking advantage of the natural disaster to make money."

Li Qinzai said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise, and the people are blessed."

After a pause, Li Qinzai said again: "The Taiyuan Wang family..."

Li Zhi was stunned, then showed embarrassment, and sighed: "Mr. Wang... don't move without authorization, too much may cause instability in Jinzhong,... let's focus on the small ones, Wang Xingchen can't move, but I will issue a strict order, I will also take this opportunity to cut off some of the disciples of the Wang family in the court."

Li Qinzai nodded understandingly. Unlike Liu Rengui, he was obsessed with morality and cleanliness. Governing the country was very complicated. He didn't have to arrest bad people whenever he saw them.

This life is still long, he and Li Zhi are still young, and the game with the aristocratic family is not in the same game.

After finishing talking about the business, Li Zhi's expression suddenly became a little embarrassing, and he lowered his voice and said, "Uh, about Mrs. Han's matter... I thank you very much."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't need to thank me for doing what I did."

Seeing Li Zhi's embarrassment, Li Qinzai couldn't help asking curiously, "Did your Majesty see Mrs. Han?"

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, she came back with her mother, went into the palace and talked to the queen for a while before leaving, I don't know what the three of them said, I heard that they all shed tears, their eyes were red and swollen... ..."

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and guessed that Empress Wu should have temporarily calmed down her murderous intentions towards Mrs. Han. After all, her own mother came forward to mediate and negotiate a deal, and Empress Wu still had to be a little scrupulous after all.

It's just that Li Qinzai violated Empress Wu's wishes and let Mrs. Han go in Bingzhou. I don't know if she will have suspicions against him.

Li Qinzai had no choice but to act with his heart and a clear conscience.

With a casual glance, Li Qinzai noticed that Li Zhi was showing sadness, and couldn't help being shocked: "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Li Zhi said quietly: "Mrs. Han went back to Chang'an and went to the palace to see the queen, but she didn't see me. Doesn't she know how much I miss her..."

Li Qinzai said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, she and the empress are sisters, after all, they want to avoid suspicion, otherwise, how can the empress be so embarrassing if she flirts with you in front of the empress?"

Li Zhi sighed: "I just want to see her, I don't have to flirt with her..."

Li Qinzai snorted, it sounded so innocent, but he dared to bet that after seeing her, Li Zhi would not turn into a little Teddy and strip her naked on the spot.

The nonsense of "just meeting" is like a scumbag promising to only hang out outside, whoever believes it is pregnant.

"Your Majesty... it's better to be more affectionate with the queen." Li Qinzai advised in a low voice.

He is not interested in the relationship between the Tian family couple, but from the standpoint of a friend, Li Qinzai still couldn't help passing on some of the experience of being human in the two lives to Li Zhi.

The mother-in-law at home is full, so she won't be too passive when stealing fish outside, and even if she is discovered, the mother-in-law will not be murderous.

If the mother-in-law is not fed enough, and the precious hundreds of millions of descendants are given to outsiders, the mother-in-law will of course have to get rid of them quickly, especially, if she marries a very powerful and not so kind mother-in-law, you should think twice before handing over the hundreds of millions of descendants , unless you're really just hanging out.

Mrs. Han was able to save her life, thanks to the fact that she and Empress Wu are sisters. If Li Zhi changed to another woman to cheat, Empress Wu would treat her three clans as merciful.

Li Qinzai persuaded him very tactfully, and he also tactfully didn't mention that Empress Wu wanted to kill Mrs. Han.

But Li Zhi obviously didn't accept his advice, but showed a desolate look, suddenly stretched out his left hand, covered it with his right hand, and kept rubbing it up and down.

"Jingchu, do you think... I will feel happy?" Li Zhi asked slowly.

Li Qinzai stared at his left and right hands and shook his head puzzled.

Li Zhi put his hand on his butt again, rubbing it non-stop.

"So, will the chicken move?" Li Zhi asked again.

The movement was a bit vulgar, but Li Qinzai understood, sighed, and said tactfully: "Your Majesty is using both hands to attack his lower body, and you will be happy."

Li Zhi was shocked all over, looked up at the sky, his expression became more and more lonely and sad.

The majestic emperor, with countless beauties in the harem, but reduced to self-sufficiency, how desolate.

Li Qinzai couldn't persuade him any more. The middle-aged couple was in such a situation. What could he say as an outsider?
The society in later generations is open, and at least there are maids, nurses, stewardesses and other uniforms to adjust the boring pleasures in the room, but what about this life?

Will writing "Goguryeo" on Empress Wu's butt arouse Li Zhi's desire to conquer?

His own father also conquered Goguryeo, isn't that a coincidence?

…………

After leaving the palace, Li Zhi was left alone in the palace to feel sorry for himself, but Li Qinzai could not empathize with him.

After all, he is still young and newly married, so he has never experienced the misery of a middle-aged couple.

He went out of the palace and got into the carriage, and arrived in front of the British government's residence not long after.

Butler Wu had already been waiting outside the door. Seeing Li Qinzai's carriage stop, Butler Wu rushed over and graciously helped Li Qinzai out of the carriage.

"Wu Shaolang has worked hard all the way. Being an official outside is no better than being at home. Seeing that you have lost weight, this old man really makes people feel distressed..."

Li Qinzai laughed, and blinked at him: "I'm not angry this time, am I?"

Butler Wu said with a smile: "How can it be, Wu Shaolang is a nobleman, and noblemen won't get angry easily."

While following behind Li Qinzai, Steward Wu brushed the dust off Li Qinzai's clothes, and suddenly said: "Wu Shaolang hasn't returned to Chang'an yet, Mrs. Han has sent someone to give you a great gift, saying it's for you, but the old man pushed him away." declined."

Li Qinzai paused, then smiled and continued walking.
