Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1152
Li Qinzai had a headache. He had just returned to Chang'an, his buttocks were still hot, and he was inexplicably involved in the quagmire of seizing the reserve.

The ancestors of the Li family testified that he really didn't have this idea, not even a single thought.

But others don't think so.

Li Xian and Li Xian were both born to Empress Wu, and both were the legitimate sons of the Tian family.

With the title of "first son", it means that the two have already obtained the admission ticket to win the reserve.

Li Xian is the second child, and Li Xian is the third child, but the ranking is not important, as long as they are the legitimate sons, they have the right to seize the heir.

There is a precedent for this matter. Li Shimin brought a very bad start to Datang's succession system.

The prince Li Chengqian rebelled back then because Li Shimin had too much preference for Wei Wang Li Tai, Li Tai's mansion ceremonies and various rewards had surpassed the prince Li Chengqian.

This put a lot of psychological pressure on Li Chengqian, so that his temperament changed drastically, and finally he couldn't wait for his father to die, so he launched a rebellion.

After Li Chengqian was deposed, Li Shimin hadn't learned his lesson yet, and the position of prince was suspended for a long time, swinging back and forth between Li Tai and Li Zhi, which led to intensified internal fighting between the Tian family brothers.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been three generations of emperors. What is interesting is that Li Shimin and Li Zhi are not the eldest sons in their respective sibling rankings.

This fact reveals a very bad signal to the outside world. As long as the position of crown prince is vacant, it is basically equivalent to silently encouraging the brothers of the Tian family, especially the sons-in-law. .

Therefore, this is also the reason why the prince Li Hong was seriously ill, and after Li Xian secretly returned to the capital, the city of Chang'an was filled with a tense and chilling atmosphere.

The battle to win the reserve has already begun.

Then, a terrible truth came.

Li Qinzai was Li Xian's teacher, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was the ace advisor who everyone defaulted to help Li Xian win the crown.

Explanations are useless, the teacher-student relationship is comparable to that of a father and son, and now the opportunity is at hand, as a teacher, how could Li Qinzai not help his disciples?
But... Li Qinzai really had no such plan!

"I'm not interested in winning the heirloom, you know?" Li Qinzai stared at Wu Minzhi and said, "I won't participate in this matter, and it's even more impossible for Li Xian to become the prince. He doesn't have that strength."

Wu Minzhi laughed straight: "I believe, my disciples will believe everything the master says."

He said he believed it, but Wu Minzhi's expression at the moment was one of trying to hide it, and he winked at him obscenely, as if saying that I understand everything, let's not say it to the outside world...

"Wu Minzhi, come here again..." Li Qinzai smiled and waved at him.

Wu Minzhi behaved himself this time, and hurriedly shook his head: "I won't come, I won't come, my face hurts."

Li Qinzai sighed: "So, now the ruling and opposition parties think that I will help Li Xian win the reserve?"

"That's not true. In fact, not many people know about the news that the prince is seriously ill. The East Palace has been sealed by the emperor's decree. No one knows what's going on inside."

"However, as long as people know the news that the prince is seriously ill, most of them think that the husband will definitely help Li Xian win the crown."

Li Qinzai sighed, yes, the teacher-student relationship is here, as a teacher, how could he not help?

At this moment Li Qinzai suddenly remembered what Xu Jingzong said to him.

This old guy is really an old fox, and he told him very cryptically that "advance and retreat together", probably he wanted to get involved, but he didn't know which team he should stand in, so he thought of Li Qinzai.

The emperor's most favored and trusted minister, who has just been promoted to Duke of the county, is also the grandson of Li Ji, the hero of the three dynasties, and the teacher of the emperor's son Li Xian...

With the blessing of so many identities, if Li Qinzai really wanted to help Li Xian win the reserve, then Li Zhi would seriously consider what Li Qinzai said casually in front of Li Zhi.

After all, Li Qinzai's words are not only his personal opinion, but also represent Li Ji's opinion. Can Li Zhi not consider it carefully?
Obviously, as Li Qinzai's disciple, Li Xian has a much higher winning rate than Li Xian in the already started battle for the reserve.

That's why Xu Jingzong said those nonsensical words, expressing his willingness to advance and retreat with Li Qinzai. Anyway, standing in Li Qinzai's team, Xu Jingzong definitely made money without losing money.

After thinking about the cause and effect, Li Qinzai looked at Wu Minzhi.

"Okay, you're useless, so get out of my house."

Wu Minzhi was stunned and said: "How can you be so ruthless, sir? My disciple has nowhere to go, so wouldn't sir not take in his disciple?"

"You live in Tai Chi Palace, your aunt is the queen, she will be happy to take you in."

Wu Minzhi immediately showed a disgusted expression. In front of Li Qinzai, he did not hide his true feelings at all.

Ever since his younger sister Mrs. Wei Guo was poisoned by Empress Wu, Wu Minzhi has been inseparable from Empress Wu. However, in this environment, Wu Minzhi has no capital to fight against Empress Wu.

Not only could he not openly fall out with Empress Wu, but he also had to pretend to be submissive to entertain the so-called family relationship with Empress Wu, which was not easy for him.

"No! The disciple is staying at the master's house, and he will not leave even if he is killed."

After finishing speaking, Wu Minzhi simply lay down on the ground, and began to roll all over the floor.

Li Qin laughed angrily, wouldn't this guy think that the rogue's tricks would work for him?
Beckoning Feng Su, Li Qinzai pointed to Wu Minzhi who was rolling on the ground, and said only three words.

"throw it out."

Under Wu Minzhi's unbelievable eyes, Feng Su and several others raised Wu Minzhi, Feng Su whispered "offended", then threw Wu Minzhi out of the gate, and finally the gate slammed shut.

Li Qinzai exhaled slowly, and the whole world became quiet.

As for the next troubles, what about seizing the reserve, what about Li Hong's serious illness, um, what the hell, has something to do with me?
It’s fine if I don’t provoke trouble, anyone who dares to provoke me, just beat me up, the famous Chang’an dude, the current Duke of Liaodong, whoever dares to provoke me, I’m afraid you have to weigh your own weight first, and reflect on whether you can bear it beat.

Cui Jie and Jin Xiang ran over happily at this time.

"Husband, the mansion bestowed by the Son of Heaven is really nice. It has been renovated inside and out, shall we live here from now on?" Cui Jie asked while holding his hand.

Li Qinzai hadn't answered yet, but Cui Jie sniffed and looked around, only to see Qiao'er and Hongbi squatting and playing under the ginkgo tree in the middle of the yard.

With a smirk on his face, Qiao'er shook Hongbi and the mud, and the water mixed with the mud seemed... like the two brothers had just peed.

Li Qinzai was taken aback, then pointed at Qiao'er threateningly, Qiao'er smiled, turned around and ran away.

Only Hongbi was left alone, and he had a great time playing with the mud.

Fortunately, the scene of urinating was not seen by Cui Jie, otherwise she would go crazy if she has a slight obsession with cleanliness.

"Before grandpa's triumphant return, we still lived in the Duke's mansion to accompany our parents. This new house can be taken care of by housekeepers and maids."

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and then said: "Actually... I want to go back to Ganjingzhuang."
