Chapter 103: Deliberation

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed dryly twice and said, "Your Majesty is really, alas. ”

When he was about to give the order to march to the palace, a soldier came in and reported: "Report, rebel Xue Wanche, Fang Yiai, and Chai Lingwu are bound to the palace gate." ”

Li Zhi, the sleeping tent of the chief general of the Lingnan Army, woke up from sleep and looked at the beauty nestled in his arms. He really didn't understand that such a weak woman could take him out of Chang'an safely in the chaos, it was really like a dream.

Without paddling, you can walk on the water like a flying boat by stepping on it; A weapon capable of shooting continuously to kill a supreme master in an instant; Firearms capable of making earth-shattering noises and causing burning firearms were unheard of by Li Zhi.

Before going to bed, at his request, Zhang Wenyi showed him the revolver and said that he would wake up and teach him how to operate it. But now Li Zhi is not thinking about learning to shoot, but is attracted by the beauty in his arms.

After a long time, Zhang Wenyi blushed and gently punched Li Zhi, and complained shyly: "It's all because you don't do good things." ”

Li Zhi got dressed with a smile and got up, Zhang Wenyi wanted to get up with him, but was held down by Li Zhi, he said: "Zitong has worked hard, you better rest for a while." ”

Zhang Wenyi glanced at him and said, "After bullying others, you have to pretend to be a good person!" Really sympathetic to people, what did you do just now? ”

Li Zhi smiled hesitantly: "Isn't it hard to help yourself." ”

Zhang Wenyi was angry but twisted Li Zhi, and said angrily: "Everything is your reason!" After speaking, he looked at the sky, and said: "It's not too early, and the people who take us back to the palace should almost arrive." ”

Li Zhi smiled: "I don't want to go back so soon. ”

Zhang Wenyi was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Li Zhi's smile faded, and he sank his face and said: "I am the king of a country in the Tang Empire, but in the midst of danger, I don't know who can rely on the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!" If I, the king, do everything to fulfill their wishes, I will naturally be able to sit firmly, and if I am not satisfied, I will listen to them, and I will be afraid of the mouth of the world, and if it touches their vital interests, I will do everything possible to get rid of me! In this way, it is not appropriate for the monarch to be improper. ”

Zhang Wenyi was very happy when she heard this, she said with a smile: "If Your Majesty really doesn't like the king of this country, why don't we go back to the countryside now?" ”

Hearing Zhang Wenyi say this, Li Zhi's face turned red, and he was speechless. Seeing Li Zhi's attitude, Zhang Wenyi also woke up to the fact that he was just pretending.

Thinking that she was not good at politics, Zhang Wenyi said softly: "The concubine doesn't understand the government, and some of the things she said are wrong, so I hope Your Majesty won't blame." ”

Li Zhi was also embarrassed by Zhang Wenyi's words, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Zitong, I didn't make it clear." We've had a lot of hardships along the way, and these things are to be expected. If I want to revitalize the country, it is not enough for these civil ministers and military generals who are dedicated to themselves, they are now speaking on behalf of the various gate lords, and they are safeguarding the interests between the gate lords and them, and the rise and fall of the royal family is just a change of emperor for them, and they can be given up at any time. ”

Zhang Wenyi understood Li Zhi's intentions, she hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty wants the civil and military officials to know that the royal family has royal interests, and without imperial power, there is no right to civil and military officials, right?" ”

Li Zhi held Zhang Wenyi's little hand and said with a smile: "The father who gave birth to me, and the one who knows me, Zitong." ”

Hearing Li Zhi's praise, Zhang Wenyi was very happy by him, spat him, and said shyly: "You have a lot to say." ”

Li Zhi suddenly remembered that Zhang Wenyi taught him to shoot, and hurriedly said, "Zitong still owes me nothing to do." ”

Zhang Wenyi said with a smile: "Then now the concubine will teach His Majesty how to shoot." ”

The two took a few guards to the open area of the camp and erected a stack of arrows. Zhang Wenyi explained the essentials of firing the pistol, and Li Zhi listened carefully.

Knowing that the range of this gun was only three or four feet away, Li Zhi couldn't help but be surprised, and he asked, "So close?" Why didn't Zitong go further? ”

Zhang Wenyi explained: "It's not that the concubine doesn't want to do it, it's that the current steel can't do it." The longer the range of this firearm, the higher the chamber pressure, and the current steel is not tough enough, and forcibly increasing the propellant will cause the chamber to explode. At that time, it was not hurting others but hurting oneself, so for the time being, it could only fight so far, and in the future, if the steel-making technology was improved, it would be possible to create guns that hit far away or artillery with a longer range. ”

Hearing Zhang Wenyi's explanation, Li Zhi roughly understood.

He looked at Zhang Wenyi thoughtfully, and said thoughtfully: "Are you saying that even if you make steel, the future generations will far exceed the present?" ”

Zhang Wenyi let out a "hmm". said: "It is not possible to do the ultimate skill now, so the concubine once said that it should be scientific and prosperous." ”

Li Zhi groaned as if he was thinking about something, and after a moment he asked, "How can we govern the country as the future generations?" ”

Li Zhi's question Zhang Wenyi couldn't answer either, she thought about it and said: "This concubine is also difficult to answer, and it is not an overnight thing to see that science is prosperous with a concubine body." As long as we give it a good environment for development, attach importance to it and protect it, science and technology will naturally be able to prosper. ”

Zhang Wenyi's words touched Li Zhi greatly, and he seemed to have an understanding and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled with relief and said, "I know." ”

Zhang Wenyi looked at him and asked, "What do you know?" ”

Li Zhi held Zhang Wenyi's hand and said with a smile: "Zitong's words made me pause, I know how to do it!" ”

Seeing that Li Zhi's doubts were gone, Zhang Wenyi was also happy.

Thinking that Li Zhi was always in danger, Zhang Wenyi asked Li Zhi to practice more than ten times to shoot out the remaining bullets, and only then did he return to the sleeping tent hand in hand when he was more proficient.

The two had just come back and had not yet entered the sleeping tent, when they saw the guards who stayed behind hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Lord Sui Liangchu, the secretary of the ministry, has been waiting for a long time." ”

Li Zhi pulled Zhang Wenyi back to the tent quickly, and the two of them entered the tent, only to see an official in his fifties come forward to pay a respect.

The man knelt down and said, "The minister knocks to see Your Majesty and Niangniang." ”

Li Zhi said with his hand: "Lord Chu is exempt from courtesy. ”

Chu Suiliang stood up and said, "Lord Shicai Changsun asked the ministers to report to Your Majesty that the rebellion has been quelled, and the ministers respectfully ask Your Majesty to return to Chang'an." ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, let's return to Chang'an!" ”

When she returned to the palace, the first thing Zhang Wenyi did was to find Lu Yan's body and bury her separately, Li Zhi posthumously named Lu Yan as Concubine Chen, and buried Lu Yan with the etiquette of a concubine. In Qingning Palace, dozens of palace maids and eunuchs were killed, and the blood was very heavy, so Zhang Wenyi moved to live in the Lizheng Palace.

The Lizheng Hall was originally the dormitory of Empress Changsun, and it has been uninhabited since the death of Empress Changsun. This time, Zhang Wenyi moved to the Lizheng Hall and did not live in the bedroom of the eldest grandson, but in the side hall.

In addition to the original palace maid Zhang Wenyi of the Lizheng Palace, there was no additional manpower, and her side hall was not allowed to enter the palace maids of the original Lizheng Palace, and only Bai Sanniang and other seven people served in the side hall.

In the Liangyi Palace, the eldest Sun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Ji, Li Yifu, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xingcheng, and Gao Jifu, more than a dozen important ministers of the imperial court were discussing how to try the rebellion.

Li Zhi glanced at the list and sneered, "Very good, very good." These rebellions turned out to be the royal concubine and the phoenix dragon grandson, and there was no ambiguity among outsiders, but the royal people made my rebellion first! ”

Hear Li Zhi's taunt. The eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others did not change their faces and sat still. Yu Zhining frowned, stood up and said, "The facts are there, I hope Your Majesty will see it." ”

Li Zhi stood up and said calmly: "Yes, the facts are there. These people are rich in clothes and food, and they are all members of the royal family, why should they rebel? Why dare to rebel? Why was the movement of 5,000 troops so openly concealed from you? Are you incompetent or are these people too cunning? ”

Li Zhi asked unceremoniously one after another, Yu Zhining originally wanted to defend himself, but Li Zhi's final question was too serious. Yu Zhining didn't know how to answer, he stood dumbfounded and speechless.

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned unconsciously, Li Zhi, who had always been weak, unceremoniously didn't give any face, which was really unexpected by everyone present. The eldest grandson Wuji faintly smelled a hint of danger, and today's Li Zhi was different from the past.

Li Zhi took the case and said, "Is this world my own world?" Is it the world of the Li family? Xia is surnamed Xi, Shang is surnamed Zi, Zhou is surnamed Ji, Qin is surnamed Ying, and Han is surnamed Liu, which shows that this world is by no means a world of one person and one family. Now my Li clan is just temporarily acting on behalf of the heavens, please remember that we are acting on behalf of the heavens, not on behalf of some forces. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Zhi's young face and closed his eyes in pain. This once weak child has finally grown up, he can no longer need his assistance, and now Li Zhi has his own ideas and strategies.

As a generation of celebrities, the eldest grandson Wuji understands that some people can be replaced, but some people are irreplaceable. It's not that there is no one who doesn't want to replace him, but that they can't replace him.

Just like this mutiny, everyone's plan was very good, and in the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji, the plan of these people was almost impeccable. However, Li Zhi miraculously escaped, not only did he escape but also took the jade seal and seal, and most importantly, he found a very reliable army.

This may be the only army that is unconditionally loyal to the Tang Emperor. The eldest grandson Wuji once wanted to give them the credit for counterinsurgency, but the commander of this army could withstand the temptation and gave up such a great achievement as counterinsurgency.

They honestly carried out Li Zhi's orders and held the Anhua Gate, which made Li Zhi outside the city, but the people in the city could not use him to achieve their own goals.
