Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 497

It's true that he doesn't know how to flatter, but Li Qinzai really wants to play wild.

Li Qinzai often does things like holidays.I often give myself a vacation for no reason. The little bastards in the school have a deep understanding of this.

But Li Qinzai still needs a long vacation. He really wants to take his wife and children to visit the mountains and rivers.

He has no ambitions in this life, but he values ​​family, and to him, family is more important than power.He is not worried that after leaving court and Li Zhi for a long time, he will be excluded from the power center because of this, but he is worried that his wife and children will be disappointed and alienated from him if he is busy with state affairs and government affairs for a long time.

If you are not interested in power, you naturally don't care about management.

But the family must be managed, and when the family dies decades later, it is not the power but the children and grandchildren who will die for themselves.

At that time, power was not as good as a handful of loess covering the coffin.

Running a family, of course, takes time and energy, so a long vacation must be taken, regardless of whether Li Zhitong agrees, he will take a long vacation.

Some life thinking about power and family rose to a philosophical level. Li Qinzai spoke sincerely and looked sincerely. After speaking, he blinked and looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi pondered for a long time, then slowly said: "I finally know how far a person can make up nonsense just to be lazy, power and family... tsk!"

"In a word, just lazy, don't want to work?"

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and had to agree: "Your Majesty is a very transparent person, and I admire him very much."

Li Zhi twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "Give me a three-month holiday, within three months, you will take your wife and children wherever you go, and today after three months, you must appear in the Tai Chi Hall to participate in the court meeting. "

"Your Majesty, three months is not enough, half a year..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi sternly said: "It's only March! Bargain with me and make me angry, and I won't give it for a day!"

"Since the emperor's ascension to the present, has he ever had a three-month long vacation? Occasionally he would like to rest for a few days, but just after a court meeting, he was overwhelmed by the censors. How can you live happier than me? Hmm , the more I talk about it, the more I regret it..."

Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and he immediately said, "March, just March! Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

Li Zhi sighed, and his expression became serious: "Jingchu, forget what the empress said to you this morning, she is only the empress, and I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

…………

The relationship between Li Zhi and Empress Wu is delicate.

The love between the two is actually dead, when did it die?From the day when Ganye Temple returned to the palace, perhaps from the moment when Queen Concubine Xiao Shu fought with her crazily, but Li Zhi swayed from side to side, maybe...it never happened.

Today's emperor and empress are model couples admired by their subjects, and they will always be as loving as glue in front of outsiders.

It doesn't matter that love is dead, it still has utility value, at least it can be used for show.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu are actually more like a pair of business partners. Li Zhi is the chairman with the most shares, and Empress Wu is the second largest shareholder. They work together to make the company run better and make more money. .

However, the second shareholder sometimes feels very insecure. She is afraid that the chairman will hostilely acquire her shares, so she has to make some small moves.

Whether it is self-protection or turning passive into active, it is all to keep her own shares. At this time, she has not thought of becoming the chairman of the board herself.

Has the chairman really thought about annexing the shares of the second shareholder?Maybe there is, but the harm outweighs the benefit, so I gave up the idea.

Because outside the company, there is a powerful foreign enemy of the aristocratic family, so there can be no internal strife within the company, and the two must use each other. No matter how much disagreement they have with each other, they can only endure it.

This is why Empress Wu dared to say these words to Li Qinzai. This smart woman knew her weight in the emperor's heart better than anyone else.

At the same time, this is also the reason why after Empress Wu said such excessive words, Li Zhi only reprimanded and warned her severely, but did not punish her in any way.

Because of this woman, he really needs to continue to use each other. If the emperor and the empress turn against each other, it will be trivial to abolish the future, but the battle lines and strategies against the aristocratic family that have been in business for more than ten years will collapse in an instant. Li Zhi cannot bear such a painful burden. fail.

Li Qinzai knew Li Zhi's thoughts and scruples very well, so in front of Li Zhi, he didn't say a bad word about Empress Wu, neither complained nor complained, because it was meaningless.

Early the next morning, Li Zhi and Empress Wu left Ganjingzhuang. As Li Zhi said, it is impossible for the emperor to have a long vacation, and it is too much to rest in Li's house for a few days.

Li Qinzai sent Li Zhi out of the village entrance respectfully and respectfully, until the imperial chariot and the imperial army disappeared at the end of the road, Li Qinzai straightened up, and his expression of reluctance just now became radiant in an instant.

"Hurry up, pack your things, our family of three is ready to go!" Li Qinzai said happily.

Cui Jie was taken aback: "Husband, where are we going?"

"Traveling in mountains and rivers, riding horses and galloping, go wherever you want!"

Cui Jie looked at the elated Li Qinzai, and suddenly found that her husband hadn't been this happy for a long time.

No matter what the purpose of the tour is, as long as the husband can always be so happy, Cui Jie is willing to accompany him, it doesn't matter where he goes.

"Where is Qiao'er? Bring paper, pens and books, play and play, and study can't be put down. Let's start today, go south first, see the beautiful Jiangnan in the Tang Dynasty, and then turn east to taste the saltiness of the sea. , and finally head north, drink with a mouth full of wind and sand..."

"I'm afraid this is the only time in my life that I can travel as soon as I want in my life." Li Qinzai's expression gradually became gloomy as he spoke.

Cui Jie took his hand and said softly: "No, as long as my husband thinks about it, there will be many times in this life. If my husband is not happy in being an official, it is better to resign from the official position. I am willing to accompany my husband all over the world as my home. , where there is a husband, there is a home.”

Li Qinzai smiled wryly: "A man who has become a family can no longer be willful."

…………

The imperial chariot swayed slightly, and the city of Chang'an was already in sight.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu were very silent along the way. The couple are not in the mood to perform those loving scenes for outsiders today.

When approaching the city gate, there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance.

When there was still a hundred feet away from the imperial guard of honor, the sound of horseshoes stopped abruptly, obviously stopped by the imperial army.

Not long after, a forbidden soldier rushed to the front of the imperial chariot, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Liangzhou is [-] miles away, and the horse will report."

Inside the imperial chariot, Li Zhiqing's cold voice came out: "Come here."

"On October [-]th of the third year of Longshuo, Tubo Grand Minister Lu Dongzan sent [-] Tubo troops to Tuyuhun. The war has begun, and Tuyuhun's overthrow is imminent."

After the imperial army reported the performance, they kept bowing posture, but there was no movement of Li Zhi in the imperial chariot for a long time.

After a long time, Li Zhi's voice finally came out.

"Hurry back to the palace and call the courtiers to discuss matters!"
