Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 864
Compared with Li Qinzai, Li Ji's killing was more decisive, and his layout was more calm. His attack was a merciless killing. Except for Li Zhengzao, no one was left alive.

The purpose of killing more than a hundred dead men is to warn the Li family of Zhaojun, and to get rid of hidden dangers, so that these hundreds of murderers will go back to the west before they enter Chang'an City, and eliminate a catastrophe for their grandson Li Qinzai .

What's more, after killing more than a hundred dead men, Li Ji could still sit down and chat happily with Li Zhengzao, as if nothing had happened, and finally bid farewell to Li Zhengzao politely, and left gracefully.

It has to be said that Jiang is still old and hot, especially a famous general who has been doing murder all his life. Li Qinzai can't compare with his grandfather in terms of calculation or momentum.

The achievements in life really need years of precipitation and accumulation. If you don't live to this age, you still look a little short of fire after all.

Li Ji left, and only Li Zhengzao and a carriage were left on the avenue where the fierce fight was just now.

The battlefield has been cleaned up. After the corpses of more than a hundred dead soldiers were cleaned up by the Li family, they were dug on the nearby hillside and buried them all. They started well and ended well. They were a group of high-quality killers with ideals, skills and manners.

But there was still a strong smell of blood in the air. Li Zhengzao stood there for a long time, then suddenly bent over and couldn't help but vomited.

The old man in his eighties vomited like a helpless drunk who just drank two catties of burning knives.

After vomiting, Li Zhengzao frowned, raised his sleeve to wipe the corner of his mouth, and looked towards Chang'an City.

Today Li Ji has analyzed the pros and cons of the whole matter very clearly, and Li Zhengzao's heart is getting heavier and heavier. He now knows that the Li family of Zhaojun has provoked the wrong person this time.

Li Youdao thought he was just provoking Li Qinzai, but he didn't expect that he was actually provoking the current emperor.

How can we fight?
Calculating the time, today's court meeting has ended, and it is too late to save everything.

As the head of a huge family, Li Zhengzao is still weighing the pros and cons at this moment.

After a long time, Li Zhengzao gritted his teeth, turned around and climbed into the carriage with difficulty. Being pampered, he had no choice but to drive the carriage himself when no one was serving him.

…………

Tai Chi Palace, Anren Hall.

Li Zhi was seated, with one leg curled up and the other propped up, like a Maitreya in a temple.

At this moment, the smile on Li Zhi's face was also like that of Maitreya, his brows were invisible, and the dignified image of the emperor disappeared.

Sitting opposite him, Li Qinzai smiled wryly.

Although we have a good personal relationship with each other, after all, it is a relationship between a monarch and a minister. You show your street ruffian appearance in front of me, don't you think I am an outsider too much?
So Li Qinzai remonstrated sternly: "Your Majesty's posture is very chic. There is a touch of elegance in the profligacy, and a little playfulness in the majesty. Only Your Majesty can perfectly control the two temperaments of solemnity and unrestrainedness in the world. I can vaguely see that His Majesty exudes a faint Jian'an style and Wei-Jin legacy, which is beyond admiration."

Li Zhi became more and more delighted when he heard the words, and said happily: "Only Jing Chu has such insight, he is worthy of being my most trusted minister. Heh, those pedantic scholars still join me, saying that I... The manners of the Son of Heaven are simply unreasonable, have I lost my manners? I am clearly a style of famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties!"

Li Qinzai said sincerely: "Your Majesty, why are you afraid of rumors and savage words? Although tens of thousands of people are going to do it, the emperor can't always hold it. The first emperor Taizong was also a fan of Wei and Jin, and he was even more obsessed with Wang Youjun's calligraphy. It can be seen that the elegance of Wei and Jin is only Only real celebrities get the taste of it.”

Li Zhi was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and stretched out his hand to pick at his toes for a while. After grinning in relief, the monarch and his subjects looked at each other and smiled, and they became more and more confidantes in this life.

A piece of liver and intestines is broken, where can I find a soulmate in the end of the world.

Li Qinzai straightened up, feeling very satisfied with his advice today, this is the duty of a loyal minister.

After the two looked at each other and laughed, they chatted about business.

"Jing Chu did a great job at the court meeting today!" Li Zhi praised: "I was almost confused by you. I didn't realize until after the court meeting was over that you led the monarchs and ministers in the palace today. You didn't see Li Youdao at the end. His complexion, haha, is uglier than that of a dead person."

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "I'm just speaking out for Your Majesty. Everything outside the court meeting is planned by Your Majesty. How dare I be greedy for credit."

Li Zhi shook his head: "The only thing I did was to ask Song Sen to send you something. Other than that, I didn't do anything for you. It is said that today's court will reap a lot, Mr. Li from Zhaojun... Hehe !"

As he said that, Li Zhi showed a sneer on his face: "This time, I want to see how the Li family in Zhaojun will end up. It's fine if the family's family is in the local government, but this time I dare to put my hand in the imperial examination. How can I not chop it up?" out of their hands."

"How does His Majesty plan to deal with Li Youdao?"

Li Zhi snorted and said: "Li Youdao must die. If he doesn't die, how can I frighten those families? Not only Li Youdao, but also the Li family in Zhaojun will have to shed their skins, otherwise the world's powerful families will not understand how much I value the imperial examination. Taking this as an example, they must not dare to stretch their hands in the future imperial examinations."

As he spoke, there was a murderous intent in Li Zhi's eyes, and the air in the hall seemed to become colder for no reason.

Li Qinzai was secretly startled, at this moment he realized that this benevolent emperor would actually kill people, and he was merciless in killing people.

"In all dynasties, any form of change will pave the way with life and blood. I understand and agree with His Majesty's approach."

Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, if you want to carry out the imperial examination smoothly, you can't do it without killing people. Those people with ulterior motives don't see the butcher's knife, and think that I'm weak and can be bullied, so I show them the butcher's knife."

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, today I am involved in the twelve crimes of the Li family in Zhao County. The so-called harming farmers, keeping slaves, and many other illegal things are committed by all major families in the world. However, as far as the country is concerned, Most of them are scabies, but you can figure it out slowly..."

"But there is one thing, I must solemnly admonish Your Majesty today, Your Majesty, please be vigilant and beware."

Li Zhi's expression became serious, he sat up straight and said: "Jing Chu just speak out."

Li Qinzai said slowly: "The Li family of Zhao County...or in other words, among the twelve crimes committed by the aristocratic families in the world, the biggest crime is 'enclosure'!"

"This crime is not only being committed by the aristocratic family, but also all the powerful officials and meritorious officials in the court. Your Majesty, the Tang dignitaries and the aristocratic family have already reached a very serious situation. If the court ignores it, the imperial power and the society will be destroyed. For Guozuo, it will be a disaster."

Li Zhi was shocked: "Why did Jing Chu say that?"

"In all dynasties, the success or failure of success or failure is tied to the land. The foundation of the imperial power and society is the land, and the farmers. If the tillers of the world have their fields, the people will unconditionally support the emperor of the dynasty..."

"Otherwise, if the land is annexed and devoured by the powerful, and the peasants lose their land and have to become serfs or refugees, then the foundation of the country will be shaken."

"Even if there are hundreds of thousands of refugees, even if they are in chaos, the imperial court may not pay attention to it, and a single army can easily suppress them, but if there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of refugees, if they gather together, they will be slightly suppressed by those with unruly hearts. Instigate it, Your Majesty knows what the consequences will be?"
