Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 24 Needle Point vs. Wheat Awn, Sharp Confrontation!
When Li Zhi was contemplating, a young man sat quietly opposite him.

Seeing a figure passing by, Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person with doubtful eyes.

"I wonder if your Excellency is...?"

He had never seen the boy in front of him before.

But looking at his appearance and temperament, he didn't look like the son of an ordinary official, which made him fall into doubt.

Hearing Li Zhi's inquiry, the young man bowed his hands to Li Zhi modestly and politely, and lowered his voice to report his family name.

"I'm Cui Zhiwen, I've met His Royal Highness King Jin."

Cui Zhiwen!
People from Qinghe Cui's family!

The grandson of Si Nongqing Cui Shu, a descendant of Miaohong's family.

At only 13 years old, he has already achieved some fame in the communication between the gentry. This is a social genius!
Compared to Luo Binwang, this is a real hard-working talent worth investing in!

Li Zhi said before that he didn't need a counselor, but this was actually just a perfunctory excuse for King Luo Bin.

Now his subordinates are empty, and he can't even find a person who can discuss countermeasures.

In fact, Li Zhi was in urgent need of subordinates, he wished he could recruit the young man in front of him.

But... the Li family is now in the same situation as the Qinghe Cui family, which seems unrealistic.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi's excited heart gradually calmed down.

"Oh! Cui Renli, this king has heard about you, but I don't know what you want to do when you appear in front of this king?"

Li Zhi said casually that he wanted to hear what Cui Zhiwen's purpose was for looking for him.

Hearing this, Cui Zhiwen showed a smile like a spring breeze, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I came here this time, firstly, I came here to apologize to the Holy One for my ancestor's rudeness, and secondly, I also wanted to see if there is any grievance between our two families. Room for tact."

"After all, it's a transaction. If the transaction is not done in a righteous way, then there is no reason to lose everything."

"Don't you think so?"

Cui Zhiwen spoke unhurriedly, with a gentle smile on his face all the time.

It was as if the situation that the two families were in the same situation was just an illusion, and those who didn't know thought that the two were good friends who had known each other for many years.

Li Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smelled something profitable.

"Relax the tense situation? Your Cui family sent you a young man to talk? Could it be that the Qinghe Cui family has fallen to the point where no one can use it?"

Facing the pressure released by Li Zhi, Cui Zhiwen was still talking and laughing like wind.

"Of course I can't represent the attitude of my Xiao family, but if you want to ease the tense relationship, someone has to stand up and take a step or take a step back, right?"

"So you want to be that despised sinner in exchange for peace?" Li Zhi smiled, and he sneered, "Do you think you have the qualifications to let our Li family sell you this face? Don't You take yourself too seriously!"

When two people quarreled, one of them had to bow his head before the relationship could be repaired.

Cui Zhiwen thought beautifully, he knew that it was impossible for Cui Shu to bow his head and admit his mistake, and he also knew that other clansmen would not be able to hold back this face.

So he wanted to bear the blame as an ignorant young man and take the responsibility on himself.

In this way, for the sake of his youth, Li Shimin didn't want to scold him too harshly.

And he can also take this opportunity to show his extraordinary talent and let the world know that there is such a person as him.

Although he may become a sinner within the clan, but looking at the whole world, this wave can be said to be a huge profit!

He will win the praise of everyone except the Cui family, this kid wants to fight to become famous!
Li Zhi saw his plan, so how could he do what he wanted?
This is a confrontation between the clan and the Cui family, and it is not something a young boy can break the deadlock.

It can only be said that Cui Zhiwen still thinks too simply.

"Want to mend this relationship?"

"It's very simple, ask Cui Shu to come to Daxing Hall in person, and apologize to the emperor in front of all the court officials!"

"As long as Cui Shu is willing to put down his dignity and say that he was wrong, our Li family will let bygones be bygones!"

"Otherwise...don't even think about it!"

Li Zhi said in a cold tone, since he dared to gain fame by stepping on the face of the clan, he must be prepared to be ruined!

Where do you have such a big face, thinking that you can resolve this conflict just by relying on your own fame?
I'm afraid I don't want to fart!

Hearing Li Zhi's clear answer, Cui Zhiwen let out a long and mature sigh.

"Prince Jin, you know this is impossible. Our ancestors were able to abandon their official positions and return to their hometown back then. It is impossible for them to bow their heads and admit their mistakes now. What's more, the clan is not responsible for this matter..."

Before Cui Zhiwen finished speaking, Li Zhi interrupted sharply: "Old things belong to old things, don't confuse them! Your Cui family took the initiative to provoke, and it is your fault! Since you initiated the war on your own initiative, you have to take responsibility." Pay the price for this, don't mention any old things to me!"

"Prince Jin really wants to go his own way? Or...Prince Jin, can you really represent the attitude of the clan?" Cui Zhiwen was slapped by Li Zhi, and his tone became quite unfriendly.

"Since the king dares to say this, it means that the king can bear this responsibility, what do you think?!"

What does Li Zhi have to be afraid of?

There is not such a strict hierarchy within the Li family. Under the leadership of Li Shimin, the atmosphere within the family can be said to be quite relaxed.

As long as what he said can be close to the overall will of the family, there will be no problem!
Cui Zhiwen wanted to use this incident to attack him, it was nothing but nonsense.

The sharp confrontation continued, and the two sat at opposite ends of the tea table facing each other.

Li Mingda, who was sitting on the inside, kept his bright eyes on Cui Zhiwen from time to time, observing the boy calmly.

It was the first time she saw that someone could make Li Zhi treat him so seriously, and she couldn't help being curious about him.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the table is getting more and more tense, it seems that the discussion will collapse at any time.

However, at this moment, Cui Zhiwen suddenly smiled, and all the tense atmosphere was instantly resolved.

"Well, maybe I'm really too greedy."

There was a faint smile on Cui Zhiwen's face again, and his voice was gentle and authentic: "Since King Jin is so determined, I have no intention of trying to ease the relationship between the two families. I just ask King Jin to give me a chance to recommend a two."

"Don't you have a letter of recommendation from the imperial court? Why do you still want it from me?" Li Zhi said in a neutral tone, and a smile began to appear in his eyes.

Only Cui Zhiwen revealed the inside story: "The Cui family asked the court to come. There is the "Phoenix Poetry" written by King Jin, but I don't have the face to report to the court."

Li Zhi thought for a while and asked, "Why? Why do you think that I can fulfill your wish?"
