For the first time in his life, Li Qinzai felt the oppressive force from the empress so closely.

When I saw Empress Wu in the past, she was the virtuous and gentle wife of Li Zhi's side, and she was a graceful and noble queen in the eyes of her courtiers.

But her appearance at the moment is like a lioness who dominates the grassland, exuding the momentum of looking down on the world.

Perhaps, this is what she really looks like.

In front of Li Zhi, it is a play, and it is also a play in front of the courtiers.

After many years of brutal fighting in the harem, she got rid of the enemy, her heart became stoic and ruthless, and she became the only winner in the fierce battle in the harem, how could she still be as gentle and kind as she was back then?

Back then, Li Zhi was ill and asked her to ghostwrite and review the recital, and finally released the magic box in her heart, and her ambition was no longer just the master of the harem.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Qinzai's back, and he hung his head and tried to organize his words.

If you don't deal with it well today, I'm afraid you'll have to make a mortal enemy with her from now on.

"The queen, and the state grain case, the minister can only talk about the matter, Mrs. Han will not die for her crime, if she is killed, I am afraid that it will provoke criticism from the government and the opposition, and it will also damage the reputation of Your Majesty and the queen."

Empress Wu raised her eyebrows: "Oh? In this way, Jing Chu didn't kill Mrs. Han, was it for the good of the Son of Heaven and the palace? ”

Li Qinzai said in a low voice: "The minister is not so great and selfless, and the minister just wants to protect himself, if the queen really wants to kill Mrs. Han, I believe there are many people who are willing to serve the queen." ”

"So, is Jing Chu unwilling to serve the palace?" The martial arts queen pressed forward step by step.

Li Qinzai pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "Of course the minister is willing to serve the queen, but after all, it is still necessary to do what is allowed by the law, otherwise, not only will it be difficult for the queen to stand, but it will also be difficult for the minister to stand." ”

Empress Wu sneered: "I can't see that Jing Chu is such an upright person, and he looks like two people like the absurd back then, but this palace is out of sight." ”

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, and simply said: "Empress, if the minister really killed Mrs. Han, the empress is satisfied, but ...... If Your Majesty really has the heart to ask the willow, the queen killed Mrs. Han, and there are other women who cater to Your Majesty regardless of shame, and the queen lives in the harem, don't you ask about everything, just kill people, so many women, when will you stop killing? ”

"Every time the queen kills someone, the relationship between husband and wife with Your Majesty will be weakened, and your Majesty will be cold, will the queen have a good result? If the husband and wife turn against each other, the minister is afraid that the queen will repeat the mistakes of the queen after the abolition of the king in the past, so please think twice. ”

Empress Wu was shocked, and muttered in a distracted voice: "Kill her, and the descendants, yes, when will the palace be killed?" ”

Seeing that the attitude of the Empress Wu had been loosened, Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "The minister has no other intentions, the queen and the Son of Heaven have a deep love for husband and wife, which is a blessing for the ministers and the people of the world. ”

Empress Wu came back to her senses and stared at him with a smile: "I didn't expect that in addition to being quite pleasant at the beginning of the year, Jing Chu also talked about the big truth. ”

"The great truth of the minister has always been to do a complete set."

The tense body gradually leaned back, and the martial queen's expression became tired.

"That's it, the matter of merging the state, let's just assume that it didn't happen, these shady things are handed over to you, it's my trust, it's the fault of this palace."

Li Qinjae's shoulders also slumped loosely.

This hurdle has finally passed.

It can be seen that Empress Wu's dislike for him has disappeared, and he finally doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

But Li Qinzai also knew very well that Empress Wu forgave him not because of what he had just said, but because of his own value.

Yes, Li Qinzai's value determines the attitude of Empress Wu.

If she was replaced by a mediocre courtier, even if she knelt in front of the Empress Wu and wept bitterly, she would never let this waste live.

Li Qinzai is different, his incredible achievements in the past two years, and the invention of objects that are enough to change the Tang Dynasty, are by no means comparable to mediocre people.

Li Zhiyang thought that he was a courtier of the state, and even if the Empress Wu had a dislike in his heart, he could only tolerate everything about him.

Killing Mrs. Han is important, but it is not the most important, Empress Wu revealed this meaning to Li Qinzai at the beginning, in fact, it was mainly to test Li Qinzai, and there was a vague intention to force him to stand in line.

Empress Wu has henchmen in the court, but she hopes that there will be one more capable minister like Li Qinzai in the court.

It's a pity that it is much more difficult to control a courtier like Li Qinzai than to control a mediocre waste.

In the grain case of Bingzhou, Li Qinzai's way of dealing with Mrs. Han has already told Empress Wu his attitude very vaguely.

You can do things, but you don't take sides.

He didn't want to join any of the factions in the court, let alone be labeled as a henchman.

What can Empress Wu do with him?

What else can be done besides forgiveness?

Seeing Empress Wu's stunned expression, Li Qinzai cautiously retreated.

After Li Qinzai withdrew from the door for a long time, Empress Wu came back to her senses and sighed faintly: "After all, talents are rare." ”

…………

Walking out of the backyard and coming to the atrium, King Teng was sitting alone by the cloister in the courtyard.

Li Qinzai met him head-on, King Teng was stunned, and suddenly the old hatred came to his heart, stepped forward and grabbed Li Qinzai, and shouted: "Pay back the money!" ”

Li Qinzai was taken aback and struggled left and right.

"What's the money? Who owes you money? ”

King Teng was furious: "When you merged the state, you cheated the king out of all his money, didn't you admit it?" ”

Li Qinzai was also angry: "Are you crazy? Obviously you gave it to me voluntarily, think about it, who took the initiative to enter the door of my assassination mansion? Who brought the car full of heavy gifts? Have I asked you to come in? Did I ask you for a gift? ”

King Teng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out: "It seems to be ...... too"

Immediately came back to his senses, King Teng said angrily: "You, you slander my daughter's innocence, say that you are more affectionate than Jinjian, and want to add money, isn't this a lie?" ”

"Of course it's not a lie, you took the initiative to come to the door and take the initiative to give gifts, I just said that you have to add money, you really added money, teach me how to push back?" Li Qinzai said angrily: "The gift sent out, now I actually want to go back, His Royal Highness King Teng, can there be such a courtesy in the world?" ”

King Teng was angry: "I don't care, pay back the money!" You cheated me out of my money, this matter is difficult to get right, if you don't pay it back, I will sue the emperor in front of the Son of Heaven! ”

Li Qinzai spread his hands: "There is no money, it has been spent." ”

"Flower ...... Finished spent? King Teng was stunned: "That's tens of thousands of dollars, and it's all spent?" ”

"Oh, I asked the craftsman to build a small house inlaid with gold and jade, and it cost a lot of money, so the money was spent."

King Teng asked stupidly, "What are you doing to build a golden jade house?" ”

Li Qinzai blinked: "I'm going to give it to the county lord of Jinxiang, didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty say that he wanted to build a golden house and hide Chen Ajiao, I want to follow the elegance of Emperor Wu and hide the county lord of Jinxiang in the golden house." ”

King Teng's hairs stood up all over his body, and he shouted sharply: "You dare!" ”

"I have a stronger relationship with the lord of Jinxiang County, and I will give her a golden house, I think she will be happy."

King Teng was furious, like a mad cow, and slammed into Li Qinzai's belly.

"This king is fighting with you!"
