Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 393
Li Qinzai has been deliberately avoiding the affairs of the palace, and he dare not even listen to gossip.

Because he knows how cruel and dangerous the palace struggle is.If you are not careful, you will be punished by all the nine clans, and there is no way to reason.

Li Qinzai didn't care whether he submitted a letter of remonstrance in front of the Taiji Hall today, or whether Guo Xingzhen was tired of winning. Do not care.

But the strange thing is, what happened in the palace, why did Li Zhi call him into the palace?
——I’m just a rural teacher in the shape of a salted fish.

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and decided to use the same to respond to all changes. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I still don't want to move...

After learning the whole story, Li Qinzai decided to be in a daze. He didn't even want to eat melons during the discussion of the monarchs and ministers in front of him, so he sat obediently and waited for the meeting to end.

Xu Jingzong is the right minister, although it is something that happened in the palace, but it is not just a matter of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Guo Xingzhen and Fan Yunxian were responsible for the technique of disgusting victory. The culprits have been taken down and the evidence has been gathered. I think the case can be settled." Xu Jingzong said.

In fact, Xu Jingzong still has nothing to say. Guo Xingzhen and Fan Yunxian are just two little people. If no one instigates them behind their backs, these two little people would never dare to practice the art of disgusting victory in the palace. There is a mastermind.

But Xu Jingzong didn't dare to say these words.

As we all know, Fan Yunxian is the servant of Empress Wu, and the servant of Empress Wu dares to practice the art of disgusting victory in the palace. Who is the most suspected mastermind behind the scenes, needless to say?

Xu Jingzong didn't dare to say that, even if they were as honorable as the right ministers, they would not dare to intervene in the matter of the couple in the Tian family. Ordinary people should not meddle in fights between gods and gods. Splattering blood is a trivial matter, but splashing one's own blood is a major matter.

So Xu Jingzong spoke very reservedly, and even put forward a suggestion in a cryptic manner. It is best to stop this matter, and there is no need to pursue it any further, otherwise the truth will make everyone look bad. kind of blow.

Li Zhi was noncommittal, then looked at Shangguanyi: "Mr. Shangguan, what do you think?"

Shangguanyi stroked his gray beard, and said solemnly: "The old minister wants to know how His Majesty wants to deal with it."

Li Zhi said indifferently: "How do you say that?"

Shangguanyi said in a deep voice: "It's not difficult to investigate this matter. What is difficult depends on how far His Majesty wants to investigate. If it's just a simple investigation of criminals who hate victory, it will be much simpler, just follow the pattern."

"If your majesty wants to use this matter to achieve other goals, it will be complicated. From the palace to the court, the emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses. The old minister thought it was not advisable."

Li Zhi hummed, and said with a cold face: "I am not a tyrannical king, but today's matter, I must have a result, and I must not stop here. The people who ordered Fan Yunxian and Guo Xingzhen must be found out, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping and eating." install."

Li Qinzai continued to be in a daze, and let go: "..."

Xu Jingzong continued: "Your Majesty, do you mean that the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai will have a joint trial?"

Li Zhi said coldly: "Naturally, there will be a joint trial, and the palace must be cleaned up. There is someone on the side of my couch who dares to practice the technique of disgusting victory. How can he be lightly forgiven? Xu Youxiang, the joint trial of the three divisions is entrusted to you, to me A satisfying answer."

Knowing that continuing to investigate this matter might lead to a big thunderstorm, Xu Jingzong still bit the bullet and responded with a wry smile.

Xu Jingzong and Shangguanyi resigned, and Li Zhi left Li Qinzai alone.

At this time, Li Zhi's complexion relaxed a little, and he sighed, and said: "I ask myself, a non-tyrannical king, why there are people who want to harm me on the side of the couch in the palace, and they can't tolerate me so close. Looking at the world, how many people are there?" I have a grudge against me, Jing Chu, the emperor...is he really unpopular?"

Li Qinzai said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I dare to say, look at the three emperors of the Tang Dynasty. In the past ten years since he ascended the throne, His Majesty has done no worse than the two previous emperors. Oneself cannot generalize the world.”

Li Zhi sighed deeply, and said: "Jingchu, I can't let this matter go, I must investigate to the end, no matter who is involved, I will never forgive, even if it is..."

After a pause, Li Zhi didn't continue talking.

But Li Qinzai already understood what he meant.

His heart became inexplicably heavy. Li Qinzai didn't care whether the couple of the Tian family were acting or they were really in love, but if this matter really had something to do with Empress Wu, the couple of the Tian family would definitely tear themselves apart.

If the palace is chaotic, the court will be chaotic, and if the court is chaotic, the world will be chaotic.

Li Qinzai didn't want to see a precarious Tang Dynasty.

He is a person who is content with the status quo, the status quo is quite good, and Li Qinzai does not want it to change in any way.

I hope that the mastermind of this matter is not Empress Wu.

Li Qinzai didn't deliberately inquire about the affairs of the court, but he heard about it more or less.

From the day when Empress Wu first helped Li Zhi to review the memorials, her ambition had sprouted. Although Li Zhi could still firmly suppress her, there were already followers in the court who clung to her.

No one knows how powerful the Queen's Party is, but there must be, and it's not small. For example, Li Yifu is one of the Queen's Parties.

Therefore, it is hard to say that the mastermind of the technique of disgusting victory is not Empress Wu. After all, if Li Zhiruo has three strengths and two weaknesses, the biggest beneficiary is her.

Even if she hadn't thought about being an empress at this time, but the prince was her own, would it be difficult for a strong woman like Empress Wu to play a trick of listening to the government behind the curtain and ignoring the emperor?

Li Zhi was silent for a while, and said: "Jingchu, I temporarily transferred the Chang'an Baiqi Division to you, Xu Jingzong and Shangguanyi will be interrogated by the three divisions in the open, and you are secretly investigating and arresting, I want to know about this the truth."

Li Qinzai was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for foreign ministers to interfere in palace affairs. Forgive me for not daring to obey orders. I originally planned to leave for Ganjingzhuang today. It is my duty to teach the students."

Li Zhi lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "Jingchu, you are my most trusted subject. You and I are also close friends in private. The incident happened in my palace, and everyone around me is suspicious. I really can't find anyone worthy of trust." Only Jing Chu, I can rest assured of you, I can only rely on you."

Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "This is a big matter. If the investigation goes to the end...I really can't bear it."

Li Zhi shook his head: "It doesn't matter, no matter who you find in the end, even if you find...the queen, I will never make it difficult for you. What I want is the truth. If you want to know who hates me so much, how dare you find it?" Curse me in the palace at the risk of punishing the nine clans."

"Jingchu, I regard you as a close friend and friend. When I encounter difficulties, I hope that there are friends who can help me."

Seeing Li Zhi's pleading eyes, Li Qinzai sighed helplessly, and said: "Your Majesty has said so much, if I don't agree, I will be ungrateful."

Li Zhi finally showed a smile, and said: "It's over here, I will definitely go to your Zhuangzi to play for a few days."

Li Qinzai's expression froze, do you really think that visiting my Zhuangzi is a reward for me?Every time you come here, you make Zhuangzi fly like a dog, even the dogs at the entrance of the village are menopausal, don't you know what?

Seeing Li Qinzai's hesitant expression, Li Zhi frowned in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? I'm not welcome?"

Li Qinzai got excited, and immediately prostrated himself on the ground: "The succulent grows bright, and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"
