Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 776
Before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji was not called Li Ji, but Xu Shiji.

During the reign of Wude, the great ancestor Li Yuan cherished his talent, felt his loyalty, and remembered his merits, so he gave the surname Li, and Xu Shiji changed his surname to Li Shiji.

It is really not that simple for Gao Zu to bestow a surname. Even if he bestows a surname, it is also regarded as a royal family member and included in the family tree.

This point is clearly recorded in the history books, "it is attached to the official book of the sect".

I thought it was a simple matter between a man and a woman, you and I are willing to go both ways, but Li Qinzai did not expect that this is no longer a simple matter of two people, it even exceeds the scope of two families, and has a relationship with Zongzheng Temple .

That is to say, the affair between him and Jin Xiang somehow became a state matter?
Kill people!

After Li Zhi finished speaking, Li Qinzai's expression changed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't make trouble!" Li Qinzai had a grim expression on his face.

Li Zhi glanced at him lightly: "I'm so free, do I like to make trouble with you?"

"If there is a trouble at Zongzheng Temple, how will they deal with the minister?"

Li Zhi thought for a while, and said: "Probably... imprisoned, maybe exiled, depending on the mood of Zongzheng Temple Minister, you know, Zongzheng Temple is a place that deals with illegal matters of the royal clan, but the royal clan And they can't be killed easily, so confinement is their most common punishment method."

Li Qinzai sighed, his face full of sorrow.

He never expected that he would be under the management of Zongzheng Temple.Not only themselves, but also the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the family belong to them.

This is dying.

Li Qinzai is a clan relative, and Jin Xiang is also a clan relative, and the clan is in love with the clan... Tsk, damn it.

"Your Majesty, is there a possibility that the minister was picked up by his parents outside?" Li Qinzai asked tentatively.

Li Zhi smiled calmly: "The ones you pick up are considered clan relatives. As long as you are a member of the Li family, you can't run away, and you have to be buried in the clan's ancestral grave if you lose your bones and ashes."

Li Qinzai frowned: "Zongzheng Temple really took over the matter between the minister and the county head of Jinxiang?"

Li Zhi had a half-smile, "Teng Wang's pleading paper has been handed over, what do you think?"

Li Qinzai's heart sank.

If Zongzhengsi came forward, his affairs with Jinxiang would be in trouble.

That's all for himself, but if Jin Xiang was punished, Li Qinzai would have thought of burning Zongzheng Temple down.

Li Zhi raised his chin towards King Teng, and said: "You, you should hurry up and please King Teng, he is holding back his fire right now, I just can't figure out why you got involved with Wu Minzhi."

"Look at what the two of you have done. You are forcing someone to sign a marriage certificate, and you are setting fire to your mansion. Isn't that what you two are doing?"

Li Qinzai's mouth was full of bitterness, I didn't do this at all, who knew that Wu Minzhi's crazy criticism was so crazy.

On the other side of the main hall, the quarrel between Empress Wu and Wu Minzhi became more and more intense. In front of Empress Wu, Wu Minzhi looked like an uninhibited young man in the rebellious period of youth, singing the opposite tune with his neck stuck.

Empress Wu's cheeks were flushed with anger, and she wanted to give him a strong blow, but she had placed all the hopes of the Wu family on Wu Minzhi, and even though Empress Wu was cruel, she was reluctant to do anything cruel to the hopes of the Wu family.

The two sides confronted each other like this, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.

King Teng sat alone and became the most embarrassing person in the hall.

He was originally a victim of the suffering master, but turned out to be a melon-eating crowd for no reason. He obviously came to sue the emperor, but the queen and nephew quarreled, and there was nothing wrong with him.

And with King Teng's humble status in the hearts of the emperor and the empress, he didn't even dare to interrupt.

In the end, Li Zhi coughed twice. Empress Wu and Wu Minzhi heard the emperor's signal, so they sat upright and stopped arguing and confronting each other.

"Today the palace is full of my own family members, so why are we so tense?" Li Zhi said slowly.

Empress Wu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgive me, my concubine has lost her manners."

Li Zhi looked at King Teng with a smile again: "It's a little misunderstanding, it's fine if you let it go, Uncle Teng Wang, right?"

The corner of King Teng's mouth twitched, he wanted to agree but was unwilling, wanted to oppose but didn't dare, so he tried his best to squeeze out a smile and saluted noncommittally.

Li Zhi smiled and looked at Li Qinzai again, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Li Qinzai is so icy and smart, he immediately understood something from Li Zhi's eyes, so he said to King Teng, "I am young and frivolous, it is inevitable that Meng Lang has offended His Highness King Teng, he really deserves to die, and he will come to His Highness some day to make amends."

King Teng did not dare to yell at Li Zhi, but he still had no pressure to yell at Li Qinzai. Hearing this, he said coldly: "Your child is already nine years old, how dare you call yourself 'young and frivolous'? Since I did it, I was thinking hard about it, why am I making amends?" Yes, I dare not be the king."

Li Zhi blinked, and suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Uncle Teng has impressed me in recent years. Bingzhou Road Administration has completed the work perfectly, and officials from the Ministry of Industry reported that Uncle Teng supervised the construction site. , It’s really hard work.”

King Teng was taken aback for a moment, and was immediately overjoyed. He didn't even care about getting angry, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to thank him.

Although the emperor's words turned a bit blunt, the emperor mentioned Bingzhou Road Administration, and this was the first time that he was praised in public. It is obvious that King Teng is already in the emperor's heart, and his future prospects are limitless.

The spirit of migrant workers in King Teng's heart began to burn.

I don't care about feudal lords or wealth, I have a heart to serve the people.

King Teng just finished thanking him, but Li Zhi changed the subject again, looked at Li Qinzai with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Jing Chu, if it wasn't for Jing Chu's recommendation, I really didn't know that Uncle Teng had such talent It is the glory of my celestial clan."

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "It is the duty of a minister to recommend talents for the country, and I dare not be thanked by His Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, King Teng's face changed drastically.

Suddenly mentioning Bingzhou Road Administration, King Teng thought that the emperor wanted to praise him, but it turned out that it was just a foreshadowing.

And the implication of the emperor's words, even a fool should understand it.

If Li Qinzai hadn't recommended you to me at the beginning, you would still be living in Hongzhou and building Tengwang Pavilion by the way.

So, don't forget that Li Qinzai is kind to you, is this how you treat your benefactor?
The palace narration was dangerous at every step, and the chat and laughter were lively, so he gave King Teng a heavy blow unexpectedly.

The power of the sky is unpredictable, and the unpredictable is here.

When Li Zhi said these words with a smile on his face, after listening to King Teng, a layer of white sweat broke out on his back for no reason, and his face turned pale with fright.

In these words with a smile, the emperor's warning and beating are implied.

King Teng also heard what the emperor meant, and the emperor did not want King Teng to continue to pursue the matter.

reason?

There is no other reason, just rely on two words, "favor".

Is this not enough?
I just love and trust Li Jingchu unconditionally, what's wrong?

King Teng instantly understood what Li Zhi meant. With King Teng's tough and cowardly temperament, how could he dare to confront Li Zhi.

So Teng Dynasty Li Qinzai struggled to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Li County Marquis,...this king feels that what happened today may be a misunderstanding."

Li Qinzai nodded and said seriously, "It must be a misunderstanding."
