Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 354
After licking the dog to the end, there may not be nothing, maybe everything.

Both Li Qinzai and King Teng came to lick people tonight, with different targets and purposes.

After entering the heavily guarded backyard, the eunuch in the yard led the two of them in after entering the room to report.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu were discussing business matters in the room. Today, Li Qinzai's cement and his remonstrance were a great inspiration to Li Zhi and Empress Wu. The husband and wife are discussing the feasibility.

Many seemingly impossible decrees, as long as the emperor is determined to implement them and elevate them to the level of national policy, after many years of implementation, they will eventually have results.

Qin Shihuang built the Qin Road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan County, and it is still spreading quietly in Guanzhong. Why can't the emperor of the Tang Dynasty do what the first emperor could do?
What's more, with cement, you can get twice the result with half the effort. If you can connect the roads in various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, the benefits will be huge, which is unimaginable for the monarchs and ministers.

The husband and wife were discussing, and Li Zhi frowned when he heard the eunuch report that Li Qinzai and King Teng begged for an audience.

It is normal for Li Qinzai to ask for an audience, but why is King Teng here?
This emperor's uncle did not go to Hongzhou to become a feudal vassal. He has been traveling around and staying in Chang'an, which made Li Zhi very disgusted.

Holding back his displeasure, Li Zhi still summoned Li Qinzai and King Teng.

The two quickly entered the house. After the emperor and his ministers saw the ceremony, Li Zhi ignored King Teng and said to Li Qinzai with a smile, "Could it be that Jingchu still has something to say?"

Li Qinzai coughed, and said: "I don't have that intention. I've been bored these few days. I tried to improve the formula of Zhuyan Cream. After I adjusted it, the Zhuyan Cream can whiten and moisturize the skin. It can be used for a long time. Achieve the effect of Tianshan Child Elder...well, rejuvenate."

Li Zhi looked at him in astonishment.

Empress Wu's eyes were bent, and she covered her mouth and giggled.

"Jing Chu was bothered, but was it dedicated to Ben Gong?" Empress Wu laughed.

Li Qinzai hastily offered the face cream with both hands, and even showed a rare look of flattery.

"If the empress carefully prepares and improves the face-retaining ointment, she will be as beautiful as a young girl, with tender skin like a baby, comparable to the Qin Emperor's Elixir of Immortality, rejuvenated like a Nanshan pine, and her face undiminished like a bright moon. Fascinated, haunted by dreams, from now on the king will not go to court..."

A string of flattery came out of his mouth like a cannonball, King Teng was stunned, Empress Wu laughed happily, but Li Zhi's cheeks twitched violently a few times.

Nima, if you offer the face cream, you can offer it well. What do you mean by taking me out as a supporting role?
Moreover, what tiger and wolf words are used in this, especially the last sentence "from now on the king will not go to court", it sounds like a strong taste of a faint king, flattering the queen but stepping on the emperor's foot, what the hell Is it human?

Listening to Li Qinzai's flattery, King Teng on the side couldn't help turning blue, wanting to vomit but not daring to vomit, looking at Li Qinzai with contempt in his eyes.

The minister of good luck, the face of flattery and flattery is particularly disgusting, bah!
Among the people present, Empress Wu was the happiest. She didn't care whether the improved face cream was exaggerated or not, but Li Qinzai's flattery really hit her itchy spot, making her happy.

Li Zhi took a deep breath and looked at King Teng.

"What is Uncle Teng doing here?"

King Teng was aroused, and immediately bowed and said: "I heard that the sage is broad-minded and can tolerate the sea and rivers. From this, the first emperor of Taizong won the heart of the world, conquered the world, and was virtuous. The lords of foreign lands have the title of honor, and they are called 'Heavenly Khan'..."

"My emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years. His broad-mindedness is not inferior to that of the first emperor Taizong. He inherits the legacy of Zhenguan from the top and initiates the prosperous age of the new dynasty. The atmosphere of the sage is respected by the government and the public. From ancient times to the present, only Your Majesty is the only one."

Li Zhi's eyes were dull when he heard it, and Empress Wu also stared at King Teng in surprise.

This guy's ass is not inferior to Li Qinzai, what exactly do you want to do?
Li Qinzai's face was also livid at this time, wanting to vomit but not daring to vomit.

How shameless, how could he have the nerve to say such a nasty flattery?
Li Zhi sighed and said, "Uncle Teng, what do you want to do?"

King Teng blinked hard, trying to squeeze out two tears.

"I was rebellious and immoral back then, I was stupid and ignorant, and made a big mistake. Now I have changed my past, and thinking about all the misfortunes of the past, I am heartbroken and regretful."

"Your Majesty, I'm already middle-aged, but I'm on the road all day long, either being demoted... or being demoted. I... really can't move!"

"I just ask Your Majesty to be merciful. Rong Chen will spend the rest of his life in Chang'an in peace. I will definitely not make mistakes again. I only hope that the fallen leaves will return to their roots. After this life, Your Majesty is not inferior to the late emperor. I ask Your Majesty to fulfill this small request."

The people in the room suddenly realized that they had been laying the groundwork for a long time and were broad-minded enough to tolerate flattery like Haichuan, so it was for this reason.

Li Zhi frowned: "Uncle Teng, the imperial court has the court's laws and regulations. The vassal king must obey the vassal, and I can't play favoritism. Otherwise, if the courtiers participate in the impeachment, how can I obey the world and how can I cover up my mouth?"

King Teng's old face collapsed, and he said pitifully: "Your Majesty, Chang'an is the place where I was born. I just want to spend the rest of my life in Chang'an. I have changed my past. I beg Your Majesty to forgive my mistakes and let me grow old here." .”

Li Zhi rubbed his temples with a headache, and sighed: "Uncle Teng, I'm not unreasonable. It's really hard to violate the law. Although I am the Son of Heaven, I can't do whatever I want."

As his face turned cold, Li Zhi said indifferently: "After staying in Chang'an to rest for a few days, Uncle Teng should go to Hongzhou. Don't make things difficult for me. If there is any discussion between the government and the public, I will punish you."

King Teng sat down slumped in a daze, endured disappointment and saluted: "Yes, I obey the order."

Li Qinzai glanced at the dazed King Teng, wanted to say something, but kept his mouth shut.

He didn't dare to intervene when he was tired of the housework of the Tian family. Li Qinzai remembered the fate of those courtiers who were favored and proud throughout the ages.

Seeing King Teng's face of despair as if he had lost his soul, Li Zhi couldn't bear it.

Whether you don't want to see him or not, Li Zhi's character is very kind after all.

Sighing, Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Uncle Teng, accompany me to the courtyard."

King Teng got up and stepped aside, and only followed Li Zhi respectfully when he walked out of the room.

Li Qinzai and Empress Wu were left in the room.

Empress Wu glanced at him, and said with a faint smile: "Let's talk, Jing Chu is flattering you today, and offering you face cream, what exactly is your intention? This is not like your usual behavior."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "The minister is purely out of loyalty. He only wants to dedicate the good things in the world to the emperor and queen, and has no other intentions."

Empress Wu snorted, and said: "Is there really no other meaning? Then you can leave, I have to rest."

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "I violated the queen's will when I was in Bingzhou, and today I am pleading guilty to the queen. It is not the minister who does not do it. It is really hard for the minister to do so under the watchful eyes of everyone."

Empress Wu's eyes narrowed, and her tone became a little indifferent: "Must Jing Chu know about the matter between His Majesty and Mrs. Korea?"

Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

Empress Wu sneered: "You help His Majesty take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade, but ignore what I mean. You are really a good subject of Your Majesty."
