Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 371 Do You Want A Wife?
What happened in the palace just now, Li Qinzai regarded it as just a small episode.

The name Guo Xingzhen is a bit familiar, I vaguely remember hearing about it in the previous life, obviously he is a half-black but not famous person.

After Gaozu Li Yuan recognized Lao Tzu as his ancestor with a shy face, Taoism became the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, and Taoist priests became the gods and real people sought after by the royal family and subjects.

Fortune-tellers, alchemists, doctor-seekers, practitioners, consecratory practitioners, geomantic omen... In short, Taoist priests have a wide range of business and a large number of clients, ranging from the emperor's dignitaries to traffickers and pawns.

There is never too much gold and silver, and there is never too little a penny.

Making money, business, not shabby.

It is true that Taoist priests often come and go in and out of the imperial palace. In the atmosphere of Taoism in the whole country, it is not taboo for Taoist priests to enter and leave the forbidden palace. Great eunuchs will take the initiative to invite Taoist priests into the palace to handle affairs.

Judging from Guo Xingzhen's ostentation, the nobleman who invited him into the palace probably has a high status.

Although he intentionally avoided people and things in the imperial palace, Li Qinzai was not afraid of offending a nobleman.

Backed by Yingying Gong and Li Zhi, there should not be many people in the Tang Dynasty who he would not dare to offend.

Of course, Empress Wu counts as one.

Li Qinzai, the domineering female president, really didn't dare to offend, she was afraid.

Li Qinzai, who had just walked out of the palace gate, suddenly thought about it.

The person who summoned Guo Xingzhen to the palace must be Empress Wu, right?

If today's incident indirectly offends Empress Wu...it's okay, the big deal is that I have practiced hard on my tongue recently, and I will lick Empress Wu again until I pull the bed sheet, and I will forgive my big mistake.

…………

After leaving the palace, Li Qinzai returned to the British government first.

The empty-nest old Beibi always had to go to ask for peace. Grandpa Li Ji is old, and he has rarely been in command in recent years. I don’t know if it is to avoid suspicion or what. He rarely goes to the military camp outside Chang’an. Try to avoid getting too close to military generals in the army.

Most of the time, Li Ji lives alone in the Duke's mansion, and usually does not see outsiders, like a retired veteran cadre, tending flowers and plants in his spare time.

An old man who has lived most of his life, his wisdom in life is beyond the reach of someone like Li Qinzai who has lived two lifetimes.

After getting off the carriage in front of the Duke's Mansion, Wu Tong, the housekeeper, immediately greeted him and chased after Li Qinzai's buttocks. I don't know, it should be green, fat, red and thin...

After dealing with Butler Wu, Li Qinzai went to Li Ji's study in the backyard.

Li Ji was not in the study this time, but in the small courtyard outside the study, squatting on the ground and loosening the soil for a peony with a small shovel.

The old figure turned his back to Li Qinzai, with gray hair and a stooped figure. The famous general who used to kill people like hemp is now dying of old age.

Li Qinzai looked at him silently, feeling sore in his heart.

A beautiful woman with a white head and a famous general getting old are the most cruel incompleteness left by time in the world.

All good things will eventually be destroyed and destroyed by time.

From ancient times to the present, mortals are so fanatical in their pursuit of immortality. Isn't it a kind of courage to contend with the way of heaven.

Although Li Ji is old, he has good ears and eyes. He seems to have known that Li Qinzai was standing behind him, without turning his head, he said, "You're back? Go to the fence and bring the bucketpan to the old man. It's the good fertilizer that the old man collected..."

Li Qinzai silently lifted the hem of his robe, revealing the hakama trousers inside, and was about to tear off the hakama trousers, when Li Ji finally found out that something was wrong with this vile animal, and asked in amazement, "What are you going to do?"

Li Qinzai said innocently: "My grandson's urine is better than any other fertilizer. He has enough nutrition and is full of anger..."

Saying that Li Qinzai had already shed his hakama pants, and when he was about to take a piss, Li Ji quickly grabbed his vitals, choked the faucet, and shouted angrily, "Dare you!"

Li Qinzai's face turned purple in an instant, and he hurriedly said, "Grandpa lets go, grandson is wrong, so I will take away my supernatural power!"

Li Ji let go, stood up and kicked his ass hard, causing Li Qinzai to stagger.

"We've been married for so long, and you're still such an idiot, are you going to piss me off?" Li Ji cursed bitterly while wiping his hands in disgust.

Speaking of which, Li Ji looked carefully at the peony plant on the ground again, with a look of distress and fear on his face.

Li Qinzai was also distressed about his own indecent things. He was impulsive just now, and the matter involved a vital point. In the future, he should ask for instructions before acting.

Fortunately, it was my grandfather who didn't kill me, otherwise it would be useless.

The sentimental emotions that had finally arisen, such as the twilight of a famous general, or the graying of a hero, all disappeared in an instant.

The empty-nest old people regard flowers and plants as more important than the lifeblood of their grandchildren. Can this disease be cured?

It can be cured, just find a wife.

"Grandpa, do you want a wife or not? As long as you open your mouth, grandson will buy you a bunch, and you can do whatever you want." Li Qinzai asked with a filial expression.

Li Ji's face turned blue, he stared at him for a while, and a word came out between his teeth: "Get out!"

Li Qinzai's grandmother died young, and Li Ji may have concubines, but no one knows the exact number, but they were all raised outside the mansion, and they were not allowed to enter the Duke's mansion.

Maybe it's because people are getting old, and after all, they have to show some face in front of the juniors, but it's not necessarily the case if it's Cheng Yaojin.

With Lao Cheng's personality, not only would he keep his concubine in the mansion, but he would also call out his concubine to serve wine and dance when there were guests. Perhaps in Lao Cheng's eyes, a young and beautiful concubine was a very important thing. It's a matter of face, you have to show it off to everyone.

The grandfather and grandson returned to the study, Li Ji sat behind the low table, and Li Qinzai graciously poured him a glass of water.

Li Jiqian took a sip, stroked his beard and said slowly: "Just came back from the palace?"

"Yes."

"What errand did His Majesty give you this time?"

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, and said: "A few days ago, my grandson made a thing called 'cement'. His majesty wanted to use this thing to build roads, and his majesty also decided to build a ship and go to sea to find new land. His Majesty's advice."

Li Ji glanced at him and sighed: "Recently there has been a lot of noise in the court about building roads and building ships, and the old man has also heard about it. You are too impulsive. It is about the interests of the emperor and ministers in the court. You think it will be fine to just make a suggestion to His Majesty." gone?"

Li Qinzai smiled wryly: "So, this time, His Majesty summoned his grandson and asked me to settle the matter. No matter what method is used, the courtiers must agree."

Li Ji snorted: "Has the karma come? If not, the whole court will be enemies. In the future, if you are an official in the court, you will have too many grievances, and it will be difficult for you to move forward."

Li Qinzai sighed: "At that time, my grandson just made a casual suggestion to His Majesty. Who would have thought that His Majesty would take it seriously? Not only did he take it seriously, but he even kicked the ball back to me. My grandson also felt that I was wronged..."
