Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 895
There is still too much time for self-care, and the current Empress Wu is simply unable to protect Li Yifu.

At this moment, she felt powerless, and Li Zhi had already played his card, telling her bluntly, I just want to cut your wings.

Empress Wu, however, was helpless, and she did not dare to persuade Li Zhi face to face. She was afraid of provoking Li Zhi, and feared that the consequences would be more serious.

Li Yifu left the palace in a daze, and returned home with a livid face, and then Li Yifu began to clean up.

According to Empress Wu's order, all possible documents and official letters, including the cracks in the walls, hidden secret rooms, etc., were all cleaned up, and all the shady things were eliminated before the disaster happened.

Although he knew very well in his heart that doing so would not have much effect, the emperor was determined to punish him, and he couldn't struggle at all.

At the same time, Li Yifu also felt deep sadness in his heart.

Tangtang Zhongshuling, the Duke of Hejian County, is already an important minister like a prime minister, but the emperor can drag him from heaven to hell with a single thought.

No matter how powerful the power is, no matter how high the official title is, it is only a pawn in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor can use it as he wants, and discard it as he wants.

…………

Li Qinzai returned to the Duke's Mansion, and when he entered the door, he called Butler Wu, and asked a few words in a low voice. Butler Wu pointed at the garden on the east side of the front yard in confusion. Li Qinzai's eyes flickered, and he patted him with a smile. shoulder, and then went straight to Li Ji's study in the backyard.

Familiar with the door and the way, he has suffered many disasters, and Li Qinzai can sneak in with his eyes closed.

In the open space outside the study in the backyard, Li Ji was squatting in the ground, with a small shovel in his hand, loosening the soil with one stroke.

Li Qinzai tiptoed forward, and suddenly found that the peonies were no longer planted in the field. Looking at the green leaves, it took him a long time to recognize them, but they were actually big radishes.

I can't believe it, from peony to radish, this leap is a bit big.

Didn't you give Peony a pretentious name "Xiu Niang"?Abandoning Xiuniang so soon and marrying a new lover?
Carefully getting behind Li Ji, Li Qinzai lowered his voice and said sincerely: "Grandpa, do you want fertilizer? My grandson happens to have a hot bubble..."

Li Ji was taken aback, turned his head to look, and was furious: "Shu Zi dare you!"

As he spoke, he raised the small shovel in his hand: "If you dare to reveal that thing, the old man will kill you, believe it or not?"

"Grandpa calm down, forget it if you don't need it, don't make fun of your grandson's lifelong happiness." Li Qinzai said hastily.

Li Jiqi said: "You'd better stop making fun of the old man's radish!"

Li Qinzai asked curiously, "Where's the peony you planted?"

Li Ji's momentum suddenly slumped, and he sighed sadly: "I can't support you anymore. You have caused disasters several times, and Qiao'er has also caused disasters several times before. This autumn, you didn't make it through, and you were completely defeated."

"Seeing that you have given birth to a son again, and I don't know how to harm it when it grows older, so the old man simply pulled it out and planted radishes instead. Radishes are good, they can be eaten and they are easy to feed."

Li Qinzai hastily flattered him: "The radish is good. It nourishes qi, reduces phlegm, and diuretic. It is used to stew mutton in winter. The old man can live a hundred years if he eats it."

Li Ji laughed: "I didn't expect that your dog mouth can occasionally spit out human words. I am very relieved."

Li Qinzai said seriously: "Grandpa, it's best not to call your grandson a pig or a dog. It's easy to get yourself involved, and the loss outweighs the gain."

Li Ji glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to loosen the soil with the shovel, and said indifferently: "These days, you have been running back and forth between Chang'an City and Zhuangzi, have you caused trouble again?"

Li Qinzai asked curiously, "Grandpa doesn't seem too worried?"

"Heh, what is the old man worried about? Small troubles can be dealt with on his own, and big troubles can be solved by the old man. If the old man can't solve it, I will send you to sacrifice to the heavens to keep the family safe."

Li Qinzai blinked, and suddenly remembered that he had a conflict with Li Youdao a few days ago. Later, Buqu at home secretly told him that during the court meeting that day, Li Ji led Buqu out of the city for twenty miles, and killed more than a hundred dead men of the Li family in Zhao County. .

The head of the family, Li Zhengzao, didn't even enter the gate of Chang'an City, so he turned back where he was, and Li Ji personally saw off the guests.

Later, Li Youdao committed suicide in the Ministry of Punishment, and the Li family of Zhaojun confessed his love. All these performances were not unrelated to Li Ji's painful assassination.

Li Ji was right, he could deal with minor misfortunes by himself, and help him deal with major misfortunes.

Li Qinzai felt grateful, but he was too embarrassed to say hypocritical words in front of his own grandfather.

So Li Qinzai had no choice but to express his filial piety in a subtle way.

"Grandpa, after a hundred years of your life, my grandson will definitely find you a feng shui place to bury you. During the holidays, even if my grandson misses grandpa even more, I promise that I will never dig you out to tell you how much I miss you..."

"And your relics, those whom grandson doesn't like will be buried with you, and whoever you don't like, grandson will find a way to let him be buried with you..." Li Qinzai said sincerely.

As soon as Li Ji's loose hands trembled, he subconsciously wanted to get up violently, and use the shovel to lift off the cover of the beast's sky.

Wei Shuai's restraint for many years finally calmed him down.

Nizi's own, Nizi's own... Li Ji had no choice but to comfort himself constantly.

"If you have something to talk about, get out of here if you have nothing to do!" Li Ji didn't even bother to look at him.

"Something..." Li Qinzai moved closer and said in a low voice, "Grandson would like to ask Grandpa to go for a walk in the garden in the front yard."

"No, get out!" Li Ji replied decisively.

Li Qinzai looked at the green radish leaves on the ground, and said with an evil smile: "Grandpa, you don't want something to happen to your radish, do you?"

Li Ji threw away the shovel in his hand, sighed, and murmured: "I wanted to let you go, but this bastard bullies people too much!"

After speaking, Li Ji got up and kicked Li Qinzai. Li Qinzai turned around and ran away in shock. Li Ji followed closely behind.

The servants of the Duke's Mansion heard the movement and stopped to watch, but their expressions were very calm.

They have seen such a scene countless times, and they are no strangers to it.

What is gratifying is that the old man's skills are still vigorous. At this age, the glory of chasing and killing his grandson has not diminished in the slightest. It is gratifying to congratulate.

The grandparents and grandson rushed into the garden on the east side of the front yard inexplicably.

The two stopped at the same time, Li Ji panted heavily, pointed to Li Qinzai and said, "Okay, stop, I can't chase anymore..."

Li Qinzai stopped with a smile: "Grandpa, you can't catch up with your grandson now. Your grandson just drank a lot of wine in the palace and is just warming up now."

Li Ji frowned suddenly and said, "You just came back from the palace?"

"Yes, His Majesty called his grandson to drink and chat about gossip."

"What did His Majesty talk to you about?"

Li Qinzai blinked: "Did grandpa hear about Mrs. Wei?"

"The old man is not deaf. Of course I heard it. I warn you that this matter is dangerous. Don't get involved, or the old man will really clean up the house."

"Of course my grandson doesn't get involved. When His Majesty was drinking today, he wanted his grandson to help him beat the rear party. The grandson immediately pretended to be drunk and passed out. He was carried out of the palace by four palace servants before he woke up leisurely..."

Li Ji smiled: "Well, it's not stupid, but the old man still wants to warn you, don't harm my radish!"

Li Qinzai bowed and supported Li Ji, and said with a smile, "Grandson will take you back to the study."

Leaving the front garden, the grandparents and grandson walked slowly, talking and laughing while walking.

After a long time, the two entered the backyard, and Li Jicai shook off Li Qinzai's hand with a flick of his sleeve, and wiped his clothes a few times in disgust.

"Come on, what is the purpose of tricking the old man into the front yard garden and cooperating with you to say those inexplicable words?"

Li Qinzai blinked: "When my grandson returned home, I asked Butler Wu that there were people in the garden."

"and then?"

"Grandson refuses His Majesty to beat the Queen's party today. This matter must be known to the Empress, otherwise the Empress will be jealous."

Li Ji glared at him: "Are you sure the person in our garden is the queen's eyeliner?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Probably you can't be wrong, even if you are wrong, it doesn't matter. In short, what our grandparents said just now will definitely be known by the queen, and that's enough."

Li Ji looked at him deeply, stroked his beard and sighed: "You have indeed grown up and become stronger every year. In the future, even if you go out alone to open a house and build a government office, the old man can rest assured."

After discovering the eyeliner around him, he does not expose or kill him, but instead uses the eyeliner as a microphone to send messages to the people behind the scenes, keeping himself out of the matter.

This is what a mature adult should do.

Of course, Li Ji is also an old fox who has experienced many storms. He knew that Li Qinzai must have intentions in the backyard just now, so he cooperated with him in this play.

Li Ji chased and killed him. In the eyes of others, he was still majestic and swallowed up his grandchildren like a tiger, but no one knew that his legs were trembling at this moment, and he almost couldn't stand up.

The show is not bad, but it's a bit Grandpa Fei.
