Chapter 291: Dilemma
After saying goodbye and leaving the palace, Li Qinzai and Cui Jie walked out of the palace gate.
Li Qinzai's mind was still a little confused, just now in the hall, the meaningful eyes of the martial queen, and the smile with a hidden edge, were still lingering in his mind at this moment.
Since the crossing, Li Qinzai has not met the Empress Wu many times, and the Empress Wu has given him the impression of a woman who is graceful and luxurious and has a far-sighted pattern.
She has a unique temperament that makes people awe-inspired, and at the same time reassuring, they can't help but feel awe when facing her, but they are not afraid of some trivial mistakes and offend her.
It seems that all the people who have come into contact with her have a faint feeling that this is not a woman with a small belly, but it is by no means easy to fool, and it is best to put a position clearly in front of her.
It wasn't until today that Li Qinzai discovered that this woman also had a sharp edge, and in front of Li Zhi, her edge was hidden very deeply, and only today was it slightly revealed.
Because of the merger of states, it has involved the tranquility of the palace, and it has had an impact on her authority in the harem.
Just like her ulterior sentence "kill when you should kill", when she should show her edge, even if Li Zhi is present, she will not hesitate to show it.
Li Zhili chose to abolish Wang Liwu against public opinion, and let her write and approve the music when she was ill, and it was not easy to make the emperor trust such a woman.
After leaving the palace, Li Qinzai grabbed Cui Jie's arm and helped her into the carriage.
The coachman flicked his whip lightly, and the carriage set off slowly.
In the carriage that shook slightly, Cui Jie suddenly said: "Husband, just now the queen led the concubine to the harem garden to enjoy the flowers, and when it was over, the queen asked the concubine to pass a word to the husband." ”
Li Qinzai said calmly: "What words? ”
"The Queen's words are only four words, 'from the serious'."
Li Qinzai's back tightened, and his face changed immediately.
Li Zhi said "from forgiveness", and Empress Wu said "from seriousness".
The couple's statements are at opposite extremes.
Li Zhi wanted to spare Mrs. Han's life, and the words were already very clear, and these four words of Empress Wu clearly wanted to kill her own sister, Mrs. Han.
Okay, Li Qinzai is not a person in the middle.
No matter what he does, he will inevitably offend one of them, either the emperor or the empress.
As for why Empress Wu dared to openly contradict Li Zhi and imply that Li Qinzai killed Mrs. Han, Li Qinzai can also understand.
Mrs. Han has touched the bottom line of the martial queen.
In front of the good widowed sister-in-law, she wanted to seduce her brother-in-law, not only that, but she also sent her daughter up, which was really blatant.
Empress Wu can't do anything about the dog man, but she still has the means to control her sister, she has already killed her sister, and this time the opportunity happened.
When she first came to the throne, the Empress Wu was a ruthless person who dared to kill Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, this woman just hid her strong side of her personality, and unless she was touched to the bottom line, she would fight back.
In the battle for the defense of the royal family, it is not surprising that the mother-in-law and her husband sang a contradiction.
Looking at the situation in the hall just now, Mrs. Han, the couple doesn't seem to have pierced the layer of window paper, and they are still in love on the surface.
But the killing machine behind the scenes has fallen on Li Qinzai.
What the hell, you middle-aged greasy couples have different dreams in the same bed, and you roast me, an outsider, on the fire, isn't this a pit person?
Li Qinzai subconsciously blurted out loudly: "Stop!" ”
The carriage stopped instantly.
In the carriage, Li Qinzai's face was blue and red, and his eyelids kept twitching.
Cui Jie looked at him worriedly, and didn't dare to squeak.
After a long time, Li Qinzai took a deep breath and sighed helplessly: "Keep going and return to the Gongfu." ”
The will has been made, the wood has been completed, and he cannot change it, so he can only accept the appointment.
If he had known the attitude of Empress Wu in the palace just now, Li Qinzai would have refused this errand desperately, but now it was too late.
The carriage continued to set off, and in the shaking carriage, Cui Jie clenched his hand and said worriedly: "The husband is restless, is it dangerous to go to the state?" ”
Li Qinzai didn't want to tell her the inside story, so he had to smile and say: "It's okay, I can't take you with me on this trip, and Buck'er will rely on you to take care of her these days, I'll leave tomorrow, and you and Buck'er will also go back to Ganjingzhuang, where you are more comfortable than the Guogong Mansion." ”
Cui Jie nodded obediently, her clear eyes were still staring at his face, and the thick worry in her eyes lingered for a long time.
Back at the Guogong Mansion, Li Qin got off the carriage and went straight to Li Tao's study.
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure.
When encountering this troublesome matter, Li Qinzai will not be so conceited to solve it on his own, there is an old treacherous and cunning old man in the family, why not ask for advice?
When he came to Li Tao's study, Li Qinzai pushed the door in, and as soon as the door was half opened, he heard Li Tao say coldly inside: "The rules of elementary school have been fed into the dog's stomach?" Won't knock on the door? ”
Li Qinzai still pushed the door open, and made two "boom" sounds in his mouth, as if he had knocked on the door.
Li Tao looked at his hob meat appearance, and sighed helplessly: "I thought you could get rid of your bastard temperament after you got married, but I never thought that you would still be in style." ”
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Grandpa has nothing to do all day, someone has to be angry with you, otherwise the mood is too stable and it is easy to get Alzheimer's ......."
Li Tao's mood was really unstable, and his eyes began to burn.
Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "There is something, there is something serious!" ”
A word burst out from between Li Tao's teeth: "Say!" ”
Li Qinzai said everything with a sad face after entering the palace today.
After hearing this, Li Tao's brows furrowed deeply, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, I'm afraid that my grandson is on a thief ship this time, Your Majesty and the queen, my grandson really doesn't know how to deal with it, so I ask my grandfather for advice." ”
Li Tao was still silent, closing his eyes and recuperating, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Qinzai waited for a long time and didn't see a reaction, and when he saw Li Tao closing his eyes and not moving, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Nima shouldn't sit down suddenly, right?
couldn't help but reach out and probe Li Tao's nose to probe his snort......
There was a crisp snap, and Li Qinzai was hit the back of his hand, and Li Tao opened his eyes and said angrily: "Bastard!" Do you think the old man is dead? ”
"Don't dare, grandpa can live at least one hundred and twenty years old, and now you are the age of being alive......" Li Qinzai said with a smile.
Hate pointed at him, Li Tao was lucky for half the weather, and finally decided to get down to business first.
"It's a trouble, the old man didn't expect you to be involved, the battle between the palace and the palace is the most dangerous since ancient times, and you must be careful when you go to the state." Li Tao said with a solemn face.
Li Qinzai blinked: "And then?" ”
"The government will transfer 200 troops to take up your post with you, and the old man estimates that there will be a danger of swords and soldiers on this trip."
Li Qinzai's eyelids jumped: "Sun Er is the assassin of Qin's life, who dares to do it to me?" ”
Li Tao sneered: "You overestimate people's hearts, and you also underestimate the madness of the desperate gamble of the defeated." ”
Li Qinzai nodded solemnly: "Yes, my grandson understands." …… Mrs. Korea, what should I do with my grandson? ”
Li Tao said slowly: "Your Majesty said to stay, the queen said to kill, the decision is in your hands, but you are the most difficult person to make a decision, whether to stay or kill, you go to Bingzhou first to find out." ”
"If Mrs. Han is too deeply involved and can't get out of the matter, causing great public resentment, she will be killed. His Majesty is certainly affectionate, but compared with the people's hearts and social affairs, Mrs. Han is nothing. ”
Li Qinzai's heart jumped, and he said in a low voice: "What does grandpa mean...... Is it also inclined to kill Mrs. Korea? ”
Li Tao said lightly: "The old man has no inclination, just talk about things, since you are in a dilemma, it is better to let the facts make a decision, you have been forced to this step, there is no way back." ”
Li Qinzai realized.
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this is really true.
was touched by a few words from Li Tao, and Li Qinzai suddenly became enlightened, and his thinking became much clearer.
That's right, speaking with facts, if Mrs. Han did too many evil things by taking advantage of the drought in Bingzhou, Li Qinzai would have to kill her for the sake of the people.
As for Li Zhi, as long as he knows the facts, which is more important, the old lover and the Jiangshan Sheji, Li Zhi must still be clear.
Then Li Qinzai said again: "Grandpa, if Mrs. Han is not guilty to death, how can the grandson explain to the queen?" After all, the queen wanted her grandson to kill her. ”
Li Tao closed his eyes again and said lightly: "Is there a double law in the world? Now that you've been swept in, don't expect to be left and right, this kind of person will die the worst in the end. ”
"The old man still said that, let the facts make the decision, you can have a clear conscience."
