Chapter 243: Embarrassment

Chapter 243 is embarrassing

Li Zhi pondered the issue of the military system for a day or two, and whether it was with Li Shimin or with his subordinates, he had discussed it many times. The records made in the meantime, and the plan for continuous improvement, filled the entire bookcase. However, Fang Xuanling's letter, which is sprinkled with more than 10,000 words, is more detailed than his efforts in the past few years, the content is more detailed, the means used are more peaceful, and the final expected result is more in line with the vested interests and future development of the empire......

Li Zhi looked at the music in his hand a little distractedly, and a doubt kept rising in his heart, is it worth it to lose Fang Xuanling for the sake of an eldest grandson Wuji? But this suspicion was quickly suppressed by him, and he finally understood Li Shimin's original intention of making that confession to him - even though it seems that he has a mild temper, Fang Xuanling is still not a capable minister he can control

After figuring out this section, Li Zhi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, in the minds of those Zhenguan old ministers, he will always be just Li Shimin's son, and their support for him only comes from this. Their recognition of him is only because he is the person Li Shimin identifies, and their loyalty to him is limited to "not betraying", and their loyal object will always be only the Taizong Emperor Li Shimin, who led them to create the prosperous era of Zhenguan.

In fact, Li Zhi knew very well in his heart that if Li Ke, the king of Wu, was not a princess of the previous dynasty, and if he did not have half of the blood belonging to the royal family of the previous dynasty in his body, then even if Li Ke was not a descendant, but only by virtue of the fact that his character was the most similar to Li Shimin among the princes, I am afraid that more than half of the old ministers of Zhenguan would support him, so it is really difficult to say who will be the person sitting on this throne now......

In the process of Li Zhi's ascension to the throne, all the old ministers of Zhenguan remained neutral except for his supporters, and of course, those who remained neutral and did not express their opinions still accounted for the majority. They didn't identify with him, they just didn't oppose him......

To say that Li Zhi didn't hold his breath in his heart is absolutely a lie, but who of those old ministers who followed Li Shimin all the way to make a fortune are easy to get along with? Even if I don't want to see him in my heart, but I never bring it out on that side, at most, when it's time to work, I can't do my best, but I just do things tightly, so that people can't find a chance to grab a handle and take advantage of the opportunity.

Li Zhi has always hoped to have the opportunity to make some achievements, to put it mildly, he just wants to make Datang more prosperous, but if he wants to change his heart, he hopes to get recognition from those old ministers who have always occupied an important position in his heart......

Since he was a child, although he has always had a firm belief, it is undeniable that whether it is the heroic prince Li Chengqian a long time ago, or the knowledgeable Wei King Li Tai, or even Li Ke, the king of Wu who was later praised by Li Shimin as "a hero like me", Li Zhi has a hidden inferiority complex in his heart. He has always known that he is neither the most noble prince, nor the most pampered prince, nor the prince who is most like Li Shimin, and he has finally been able to go all the way to today, never because he is the best, but only because he is the most suitable......

Therefore, for Li Zhi, the symbolic meaning of Fang Xuanling's letter is greater than its actual meaning, and he vaguely understands that this may be Fang Xuanling's way of expressing his recognition of him. With a stirring and complicated mood, Li Zhi directly carried this important book, called it a day early, and went back to the Endian to find Yongning to calm down.

Yongning was not surprised that Fang Xuanling could guess Li Zhi's thoughts, he could write such a recital, he could consider things so comprehensively, and his way of doing things was peaceful and convincing...... Anyway, Fang Xuanling's status as a wise man in Yongning's mind has never been something that no one can shake, so she just looked at it very calmly, and then praised it very normally, and then said nothing else.

Li Zhi had a kind of frustration with a heavy punch, but he hit the empty place, and he took a sip of tea to calm down his mood, and then stroked the cover of the song and said in a low voice: "I never expected this book of music to be ...... at the room meeting."

During this period of time, Li Zhi almost always used the title of "father-in-law" whenever he mentioned Fang Xuanling in front of Yongning, but today he casually used the old name of "Fang Xiang", which has long been out of character, although this is only a small change in title, but the meaning is not shallow.

Yongning couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but she didn't understand Li Zhi's too secret thoughts, and naturally couldn't understand Li Zhi's complicated mood at this time, so she could only follow Li Zhi's words and say with her feelings: "Unexpected? The entire Datang is qualified and capable of writing such a note, who else can there be besides my father? If you want me to say, you didn't expect the three words, but there is a big problem......" Her choice of words and sentences matched with a three-point smart tone, and the meaning of these words was easily improved a lot.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, sighed lightly, and said, "Yes, how could I 'not think of it'?" He was naturally led astray by Yongning's thinking, and began to seriously reflect on the "unexpected" from "not daring to think" in his heart, and there was a faint self-blame in his heart that quietly boiled, and even began to have an illusion that "maybe it wasn't that those old ministers didn't agree with him, but that he never gave them a chance to identify with him......

However, after all, this illusion could not confuse Li Zhi for too long, and it was only a blink of an eye, so he smiled bitterly and sobered up. The words that he had piled up in his heart were suddenly speechless, and in the face of Yongning, he didn't have the courage to analyze the dark side of his heart, which was the only thing he didn't want Yongning to see and know.

Yongning also intuitively thought that this topic would be dangerous if it continued, so he took advantage of Li Zhi's moment of hesitation to decisively change the topic: "I have always wanted to ask you these days, is my idea about printing feasible?" Didn't you tell someone to test it? It's been so long, haven't the results come out yet? ”

Yongning didn't go to the bottom of the question, but Li Zhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the topic of Yongning's partial building was poking at his excitement, compared to Fang Cai's complicated mood, the joy at the moment made him more vibrant, and he actually laughed and said: "I've been too busy these days, but I didn't care about the good news from the admiral to tell you, those ideas of yours, although there are still some deficiencies in the details, but the Ministry of Industry also has some skilled craftsmen, after trying a few times, it has really been done, but those people are still conceiving, I hope to be able to further ...... But don't worry, no matter whether they can improve in the end or not, even if they only rely on today's technology, they can completely achieve the expected goal, I have someone to prepare another set of finished products, and I will send them over after the completion of your Fang family's academy......"

Yongning pursed his lips and snorted lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable that Li Zhi only paid a set of so-called "finished products" and occupied her "invention achievements" without shame. And after Li Zhi excitedly said that he planned to use this new printing technique as an excuse to reward a group of young and middle-aged officials he intended to promote, Yongning couldn't help but sublimate that discomfort into dissatisfaction.

With her painstaking planning, but it turned out to be cheap, but it was won by others Yongning glared at Li Zhi, raised his eyebrows and said: "Since Your Majesty wants to reward meritorious officials, then you shouldn't be so stingy that you only use a set of original finished products and send me away, right?" There are many words without mistakes, although I can't afford to receive this official title, but Your Majesty thinks that it will be compensated to me somewhere else, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Li Zhi was taken aback by Yongning's vicious tone, he hadn't heard Yongning speak in such a tone for a long time, although he was a little reluctant to admit it, but he actually really missed Yongning who acted so wantonly. After a little emotion in his heart, he went through Yongning's words in his heart, and then asked with a deep smile: "So...... My beloved concubine...... Do you want me to make amends in the local area? As he spoke, he had already changed his position without a trace, and by the time he said the word "compensation", his hands had already wrapped around Yongning's flexible and sturdy waist, and his head was resting on her shoulders, and the hot air from the words was spraying on her ears, causing a shiver down her spine.

In the past few years of harmonious husband and wife life, they have long figured out the sensitivities between each other, and often make some sneak attacks, which can also enhance the interest between husband and wife. And the trick Li Zhi used at the moment was exactly one of the three best killing moves he summed up to deal with Yongning. Although Yongning knew that he wanted to take the opportunity to go off topic, he still couldn't help but worship under his "high moves".

Li Zhi has not done Dunlun for some days because of the troubles of the military system these days, so although he just intended to tease Yongning, he couldn't help but be emotional, and he didn't care that the sun had not set, so he pulled Yongning to close the door of the palace and love him.

Although Li Zhi's behavior was improper, if it was passed out, Yongning would inevitably have to bear the charge of a flattering master, but now the palace affairs are in the hands of Yongning, after a combination of grace and power, the harem has already calmed down a lot, and the Huien Palace is even more under the joint efforts of the two of them, which can be called a drop of water, so even if the act is out of proportion, there is no worries.

It's just that although the two of them will return to the Grace Hall to control it tightly, there are also people who can't prevent this strictness. Qin Hua did not see Yongning in the case of failure, but she was now learning and selling a copy of "Thirty-six Strategies for Children's Trial Edition" smuggled to her by Fang Yiai, and it was relatively simple to pick a few words, and she also tried to guess the meaning, and the result was that she sneaked into the inner hall very smoothly.

Aside from Yongning, as far as Li Zhi is concerned, he has never been so embarrassed in his life, and when he is emotional, he is doing love with his beloved, but he was broken in by Douding's daughter, and he was stuck there because he couldn't get up. Fortunately, during the foreplay, Yongning habitually pulled a strip of brocade and wrapped the two of them in the morning, so that there would be no worse scene......

Yongning had buried his head in the pillow because of his posture, and at this time he was more and more unwilling to show his face, and his whole body stiffened, which made Li Zhi gasp a few times before he could hold back the desire to cry out in pain. Li Zhi was naturally the worst, Yongning hid himself tightly, and left Qin Hua, who was standing by the bed and looking at the two of them with a puzzled face, to deal with him.

Li Zhi was hindered by physical and some physiological reasons at this time, and could only devote less than a small half of his attention to deal with Qin Hua, but Qin Hua had been pampered by Li Zhi and had no reverence for him at all, completely ignoring Li Zhi's willingness to persuade her to wait in the outer hall with a smile that was ugly than crying, and lay her upper body on the side of the pillow, poked the top of Yongning's head that was not completely hidden with her delicate little fingers, and asked with doubts: "Father, why does the mother ignore me?" You pressed your mother like this, was your mother crushed by you? …… Father, the bed is so big, why do you have to rob your mother to sleep on this side? The father is a man, shouldn't a man let a woman go? ……”

Qin Hua's series of high-intensity questions comparable to "One Hundred Thousand For" made Li Zhi's face red as soon as he spoke. If it weren't Qin Hua standing here at this time, the punishments that were spinning in his mind would definitely be used by him one by one, but when facing the beloved daughter he was used to, he could only twitch the corners of his mouth and shout......

The palace people who served Qinhua outside the door and the palace people who served in the inner hall had been waiting outside the door crying and laughing for a long time, they naturally knew what the two people in the inner hall were doing, and they were ready to be severely punished, so as soon as they heard Li Zhi's angry and appealing movements, they immediately rushed into the inner hall with two unlucky people who guessed and lost, and greeted Li Zhi like a cloud, and then picked up Qinhua and disappeared quickly, never raised his head from beginning to end, and did not leave Li Zhi a chance to attack on the spot.

Li Zhi was so angry that his teeth itched, but Yongning, who had been pretending to be dead, couldn't help but laugh softly at this time, and the slight tremor of his body caused by the laughter suddenly turned the complaints that Li Zhi had already reached his mouth into heavy gasps and intermittent moans......

Yongning was ashamed and annoyed and tried to turn around and push Li Zhi away, just from Qin Hua's appearance, she knew that it was probably dinner time, and Li Cong should usually come back at this time. Li Cong is eight years old, no more ignorant than Qin Hua, growing up in the court, he already has a vague concept of many things, Yongning only thinks that Her Royal Highness Qin Hua, the princess who has been keen to ask questions recently, will ask Li Cong again the questions she failed to get the answer from Li Zhi just now, and he only feels that the blood is surging, and the tide of love is dissipating......

It's not that Li Zhi can't understand Yongning's concerns, but compared to the ignorant little eyes of his children, he feels that his little brother should be comforted better, and Yongning's eager actions made Li Zhi fall into an unstoppable frenzy, after a few rounds of hand-to-hand combat, Yongning was unable to defeat Li Zhi's strength after all, and his eyes were misty and Li Zhi was entangled in one place......

Yongning, the competent mother, did not expect Qin Hua's actions, and Her Royal Highness the princess was full of incomprehension and dissatisfaction with the matter of being forcibly taken out of the inner hall. So as soon as Li Cong, the equally competent brother, appeared, Qin Hua ran over conveniently, not caring at all about the bearing capacity of his brother's small body that had not yet grown up, so he directly jumped to the ground and occupied the arms of the elder brother.

Li Cong has long been accustomed to Qin Hua's movements, as early as the moment he saw her running over, he wisely took a step back and leaned on the palace maid behind him, and the palace maid is also trained for a long time, and this backer is extremely safe. Reluctantly holding Qin Hua, who was obviously overweight, Li Cong sat down nearby with unsteady steps, and then before he could ask Qin Hua why she was the only one in the hall at this time, he was dumbfounded by Qin Hua's series of questions.

Li Cong was at a level of seeming to understand at this time, Qin Hua's questions, he was not able to react immediately, he only instinctively felt strange, thought about it twice, and combined with Qin Hua's chaotic description of the scene in the inner temple, he came up with an answer that made him feel embarrassed. The pictures he had imagined were so stimulated that he almost burst his muscles, but Qin Hua still dragged his shirt and asked him to explain.

Li Cong was at a loss and wished that he could faint directly, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart that Li Zhi was ridiculous, how could he be able to ...... Naturally, he will not blame Yongning, who has established a very positive and healthy image over the years, at least in the eyes of the children, the mother is almost equivalent to perfection

And after complaining about Li Zhi, Li Cong began to worry that Yongning would not be able to think about it, and kept replacing Yongning's embarrassed and unbearable look in his mind, and some inexplicable words of self-blame, and the mood that he couldn't face...... Li Cong hugged Qin Hua tightly with worry, and warned her in a low voice, promising a lot of benefits, not allowing her to mention the matter of breaking into the inner hall again, after helping her repeat the memory a few times, convinced that she could already keep her promise, Li Cong was greatly relieved, and then turned his gaze to the palace people serving in the palace.

Although he knew that the people who could serve here were all trustworthy people from Yongning and Li Zhi, and their backgrounds were extremely innocent, Li Cong couldn't help but beat them again and again, and after making sure that they wouldn't talk too much, he generously awarded the reward. Hit a stick, give a sweet date, this kung fu was still taught to him by Fang Yiai, for the words and deeds taught by the uncle he admired the most, he firmly remembered in his heart, and when he found that he seemed to be following the wrong person and went astray, it was many years later......
