Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 755 Reconciliation
What Li Zhi and Li Qinzai drank today was obviously vegetarian wine, no matter in the literal meaning or the definition after a thousand years, it was all vegetarian wine.

After all, the Li family's other courtyard did not support kabuki and music troupes, and it is impossible for Li Zhi to regard the courtier's house as a kiln.

That's all for Arhat Bureau, these dishes are really...

Although it is said that the guests do as they please, but the host is too casual, and the guests are somewhat uncomfortable.

"How long will it take for your family to become vegetarian?" Li Zhi asked unwillingly.

Li Qinzai counted with his fingers and said, "It will take half a month."

Li Zhi was stunned: "Isn't it only half a month?"

"Yes, today is the first day of vegetarianism."

Li Zhi:? ? ?
I can see that this guy is doing it on purpose!
What do you mean?Do you still need to guess, the monarch and his ministers are angry and awkward, and Li Qinzai's anger has not passed yet.

With the way the monarch and his ministers played like this, Li Qinzai should probably be hanging on the tower of Chang'an to show the public at this moment.

But Li Zhi made a private visit today, and he was visiting a friend.

There are not so many etiquette among friends, so I won't give you meat, what can you do?
Li Zhi really can't do anything to him, Li Qinzai has the reason, how to make a decision when he pays homage to the ancestors during the Qingming Festival and eats vegetarian for the sake of sincerity?

"Your Majesty, please use it. Although the dishes are bland, it is a blessing in life for Mingjun to drink with his loyal ministers. When I recall it many years later, it must be full of happiness..."

The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched.

The bamboo chopsticks picked up a piece of wild vegetables and took them in. Li Zhiwei ate a few mouthfuls like chewing wax, and really didn't want to eat the second chopsticks.

I'm here to eat meat, not to reminisce about bitterness and sweetness, so what does it have to do with me when you pay homage to your ancestors?
So Li Zhi suddenly put down the bamboo chopsticks, and said loudly: "Li Jingchu, you are almost enough! Don't I want to apologize to you?"

Li Qinzai panicked and said: "I dare not, I don't understand what His Majesty means, so how can I apologize?"

Li Zhi gave him a hard look: "The Son of Heaven is not a saint, so can't he make mistakes? It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, it's still wise to correct it in time. Let me ask you, have I corrected the matter of Fengchan Taishan?"

"Corrected."

"I took the initiative to come here today as an invitation, what else do you want?"

Li Qinzai said innocently: "I didn't say anything, worshiping ancestors in Qingming Festival, eating vegetarian, is my minister wrong?"

Li Zhi took a deep breath, and slowly said word by word: "I don't care, I want, eat, meat!"

"I recently became a vegetarian..."

"Where is the imperial guard of Yulin? I burned his kitchen!" Li Zhi was furious.

Li Qinzai hurriedly grabbed Li Zhi's sleeve: "Okay, eat meat, let's eat meat!"

Li Zhi shook his sleeves angrily: "Isn't it a candle? Don't light it or light it!"

The meat was served quickly, still steaming.

Li Zhi turned his head and glanced at Li Qinzai: "Actually, you've already done it, just wait for Zhen to subdue you, right?"

Li Qinzai said innocently: "How dare I let the emperor subdue me? The meat has indeed been prepared long ago. I am only worried about your majesty's health, so I dare not let your majesty eat too much meat..."

Li Zhi pointed to Li Qinzai, snorted angrily, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and started eating.

Meat is Li Zhi's favorite food, including stewed beef, stewed pig's trotters, and roasted sizzling lamb chops, and even rice is Li Zhi's favorite bamboo rice.

This meal Li Zhi ate a lot, he was obviously sick, but this meal obviously exceeded the appetite of an adult.

At the end of the meal, Li Zhi almost rolled his eyes, Li Qinzai hurriedly persuaded him, Li Zhicai kept his mouth shut.

Like a puddle of mud, Li Zhi sat half-lying in the hall, picking his teeth and squinting at him.

"Our monarchs and ministers have come and gone in this match, it is considered a tie, and it will be the same in the future, don't embarrass me anymore."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Li Zhi sighed, and said: "Emperors of all dynasties and dynasties have no shortage of power and benefits. What else do they lack? It's just a name."

"Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there have been only three people who conferred Zen on Mount Tai in history. The First Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. These three people have done earth-shattering feats before they are qualified to enshrine Zen. No one in the world dares to say anything wrong."

"During the Zhenguan period, the first emperor also considered enshrining Zen, but at that time it happened to be the eastward expedition to Goguryeo, and the matter was put on hold until the late emperor passed away, but he failed in the end. Before his death, the late emperor lamented and sighed. Not being able to enshrine Zen in this life was the greatest regret in his life. .”

"After I came to the throne, I made great efforts to govern and inherited the country for more than ten years. In these ten years, I dare not compare with the achievements of the late emperor, but in terms of martial arts and martial arts, I am not much worse than the late emperor, right?"

"Of course, Jing Chu's contribution to the country is not small among my achievements in ruling this country. In other words, half of the reason why I dare to seal Zen Taishan comes from Jing Chu's credit."

"I just think that it is better to make your wish in this life while you are still young and strong. Don't be like the late emperor who didn't get his wish until he died, leaving only regrets and dying with regret."

Li Qinzai said euphemistically: "Your Majesty is still young, it is an exaggeration to say that you live tens of thousands of years, but normally speaking, it is not a big problem to live for decades."

"If Your Majesty can endure for a few more years, when the national treasury is full and the people hide wealth, the life of the people will improve."

"At that time, His Majesty conferred Zen Taishan again. Not only is it justified, but it is also expected by everyone. Isn't it beautiful that His Majesty will be praised a lot in the history books? The future will be long, so why fight for a while."

Li Zhi nodded, and said with a relieved smile: "I figured it out, don't worry, I won't be thinking about Feng Chan in the past few years. In the past few years, the Tang Dynasty has had a hard time, the treasury is empty, and the people are also suffering. Such a situation I am afraid that I will be stabbed in the back after thousands of years."

Li Qinzai saluted sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise, and the people are lucky to meet you, and the world is blessed."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, all the unhappiness that had happened these days was wiped away with a smile.

…………

Li Zhi stayed in Zhuangzi for two days and then left.

The emperor is not idle, and he doesn't have so much time for personal vacations. It is very rare to be able to squeeze out two days to go to the countryside and have a farmhouse to relax.

Before leaving, Li Zhi told Li Qinzai thousands of times, telling him very seriously that the sweet potatoes in the field must not be touched, it is the hope of Datang in the future.

This trip, the biggest gain for Li Zhi and Li Qinzai is to release the grievances between the monarch and his ministers and get back together.

There are not so many hypocritical suspicions between men, quarrels are quarrels, and reconciliation after quarrels is really reconciliation.

In order to accompany Li Zhi, the school had to take two days off.

When class resumed on the third morning, Qiao'er was quietly sitting in the classroom flipping through books, and the disciples from behind all came one after another. Of course, Li Qinzai was never on time.

Flipping through the book to do a few questions, Qiao'er turned around and found that there was one person missing in the classroom.

"Why didn't Junior Brother Qibi come?" Qiao'er turned to ask Li Sujie.

Li Sujie said with a wry smile: "Senior brother, don't mention it, Qi Bizhen was beaten up in Chang'an City last night, and she is recuperating in the mansion."
