The relationship between the eldest brother and her brother-in-law is not so good, at least not as good as Cui Jie imagined.

Cui Sheng couldn't wait to kick Li Qinzai into the pit, and Li Qinzai didn't want to punch Cui Sheng's dog's head.

The reason for this is that Li Qinzai's various evil deeds in Chang'an City back then were the source, and Cui Sheng, who was an official in Chang'an, naturally heard a lot, and once his impression of people was fixed, it was difficult to change it.

Later, Li Qinzai invented this, invented that, whether it was meritorious service or playing correctly, it stands to reason that it is no longer what it used to be, but in the eyes of his eldest brother, Li Qinzai is still that madman, what inventions, what meritorious contributions, they are all pretended, they are all illusions, and they can't scare me.

The reason why Li Qinzai wants to blow up his uncle's dog head is also very simple.

I have confronted Li Zhizuo many times, and I seriously suspect that this thing has written countless bad things about himself in the emperor's living record, the kind that has been stinky for thousands of years.

The undercurrent between the eldest brother and brother-in-law surged, Cui Jie didn't seem to know anything, after marrying a wife, she only concentrated on being her own little woman, taking care of the couple's home and property.

In this era when wives have to plead carefully with their husbands when they return to their parents' homes, everything in her mother's family is not as important to her as her husband's family.

"Husband, just now the eunuch told the concubine body, Your Majesty Jin I and Buck'er's golden book will be sent from the Ministry of Internal Service tomorrow, the concubine body is already a four-grade order, and Buck'er has also been promoted to the fifth rank of General Ningyuan, hehe, he is so small, he actually became a general......"

Li Qinzai hugged Cui Jie in his arms and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, you tell Buck'er, it's just a false title, don't take it too seriously, don't let me see him putting up an official stand in front of the Zhuang family, I will beat him to death." ”

"Buckwheat is so sensible, she definitely won't ......," Cui Jie said, suddenly hesitating.

Obviously, Buck'er's recent performance has really shaken the word "sensible" a little, and he has had a lot of trouble recently.

It stands to reason that teenagers will enter the rebellious period, is buckwheat a little early?

"It's the same with your fateful lady, don't put up a fight in front of the villagers, you have a bad reputation, and the villagers will spread everywhere in the future that our Li family has an evil housewife, see if you are disgusting."

Cui Jie rolled her eyes in his arms and snorted, "When did the concubine ever put on a shelf?" I am also from a family, and I have been polite to the subordinates in the house and the villagers in the family since I was a child. ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Then I will congratulate Mrs. Li Cui, five grades to four grades, tsk, quickly put on an unbeatable face for my husband to see." ”

Cui Jie was so happy that she kicked her little feet, then turned around and hugged him tightly, and said softly: "It was the concubine who was stained with the light of her husband, and the husband was powerful, and she made meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty and created so many novel things for the society, so that the concubine was able to be promoted." ”

Pointing to the top of her head, Cui Jie said happily: "The concubine often feels that she and Buckwheat are in the shade of a tree, and the wind and rain are fierce outside, but under the shade of the tree, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is no wind or rain. ”

Burying her head deep in his chest, Cui Jie closed her eyes and murmured, "Husband is the shade of the tree." ”

…………

The next day, Li Qinzai got up early in the morning and woke up at dawn.

There is no way, there is an emperor and a queen living in the house, and if Li Qinzai dares to sleep until three poles in the sun, his heart is inevitably too big.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if Li Zhi accidentally falls and eats while walking in his courtyard, Li Qinzai will theoretically be jointly and severally responsible.

So Li Qinzai had to get up early and wait for the summons at any time, what if Li Zhi forgot to bring toilet paper when he went to the thatched house? Isn't the role of Li Qinzai revealed?

In the early morning, it was a little cold in the garden of the annex, it was already winter, and the flowers were withering, but a few plum trees in the corner of the wall quietly bloomed a few flower bones, and the red buds and the cold and gloomy sky reflected a wonderful picture.

Li Qinzai walked around the garden, and was hesitating to go into the backyard to greet Li Zhi and Empress Wu, but saw a team of palace maids walking slowly not far away.

Li Qinzai hurriedly avoided the side, bowing down and not daring to look directly.

The palace maid passed by Li Qinzai's side, but suddenly stopped, and the voice of the martial queen came faintly.

"Jing Chu doesn't have to be polite, Your Majesty is still sleeping, you can do your best to be a landlord and accompany the palace to appreciate the flowers in your backyard."

Li Qinzai received the order, and hesitated: "The queen forgive me, it is winter, the flowers have withered, and the matter of appreciating flowers is ......."

Empress Wu said: "Aren't there still a few plum trees in the corner?" Take Hongu to see it. ”

Li Qinzai had no choice but to take Empress Wu to a few plum trees, looking at the few flowers and bones in front of him who were about to die, the corners of Li Qinzai's mouth twitched.

What is the beauty of rotten flowers, the hypocrisy is very good, and these flower bones are all harmed, and they are picked to make flower tea to drink, and the plum tree is also cut down, and watermelons are planted instead......

Hey? Is there a watermelon in this era? It is said that there is, it seems to be called "cold melon", and he asked Ah Si to go to Chang'an City to inquire and get some watermelon seeds from the Hu people.

Pick a watermelon in summer, soak it in the well water for an hour, bite it down, and smack ...... The battlefield is as cool as an arrow, cool!

A voice came from my ear.

"Jing Chu is really different, and he is drooling when he is with this palace, why is this?" Empress Wu's tone was cold and authentic.

Li Qinzai was shocked, and the misunderstanding was big.

"Death, Minister, uh...... Recently, I have a toothache, often drooling unconsciously, and I am out of character, so I ask the queen to punish him. ”

Empress Wu looked at him for a while, sighed and said: "Jing Chu's ability to make up nonsense is probably on par with the knowledge in your stomach, and this is something that this palace also admires." ”

Li Qinzai blinked innocently: "The minister really has a toothache ......"

Empress Wu suddenly sneered: "This palace doesn't talk nonsense with you, Li Jingxuan was sent to the school by this palace, he returned to Chang'an the day before yesterday, and you made people not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, people are bachelors of Hongwen Pavilion, and the former prince is a scholar, so you treat him like this?" ”

Li Qinzai sighed and said: "If the minister wants to say that everything is a misunderstanding and an accident, do you believe it, queen?" ”

Empress Wu said coldly: "Do you guess this palace will believe it?" ”

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and after a long time, Empress Wu sighed leisurely: "Jing Chu, you are a smart person, a smart person should know how to advance and retreat, in this school in Ganjingzhuang, half of them are the pillars of the country, and half of them are the sons of powerful people in the DPRK and China......"

"I can't see anything now, but ten or twenty years later, these students will be the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty, if they unite to say a word in the court, the whole court will have to stop and listen for them."

"Jing Chu, you are their mentor, that is to say, the future of this force is actually in your hands, and the imperial court and the Heavenly Family will not allow anyone other than the Son of Heaven to hold such heavy authority, do you understand?"

Li Qinzai lowered his head and said, "Yes, the minister understands." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qinzai said again: "The minister has no intention of being their teacher, if the Son of Heaven and the queen are not at ease, it doesn't matter if this school is dispersed, the minister doesn't mind." ”

Empress Wu sighed again and said: "Jing Chu, you are talking angrily, your ability, your knowledge, Your Majesty and the palace can see it with their own eyes, and you do have the ability to reach the sky." With such a great ability and knowledge, if it is not passed on to future generations, how can it be worthy of the inheritance of your Mo family? ”

Li Qinzai instantly understood what she meant.

Empress Wu means that knowledge should be passed on, but it does not mean that passing on knowledge will allow him to control such a huge power at the same time, so Li Jingxuan came, he was a division of power, but also a check and balance.

For Empress Wu, the best result is that Li Qinzai is responsible for teaching, Li Jingxuan is responsible for taking power, and the power and learning in the school are separated from each other, each performing its own duties, and trying to dilute Li Qinzai's prestige and weight among the students.

Yes, the Heavenly Family is so domineering that they won't tell you any reason at all.

Empress Wu stared at his eyes and suddenly said, "Do you think that this palace is taking revenge on you for the last time I was tired of winning the case?" ”

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "The minister has no such intention. ”

Empress Wu shook her head: "No matter what you really think in your heart, this palace will tell you the truth today, this palace's heart is not so narrow-minded, but in the court of the Tang Dynasty, it can't be more complicated." ”

"Over the years, Your Majesty and the palace have been trying to do one thing, that is, to weaken the power of the family's gate lords, and Your Majesty and the palace have worked very hard in this matter, and the results have been very little."

"There is an undercurrent surging in the court, Your Majesty and the palace have been very difficult, those families are unwilling to be weakened, and have always violated Your Majesty's yang and yin, from the year of Yonghui to the year of Longshuo, for more than ten years, Your Majesty has taken the opportunity to clean the court many times, in order to cut off the power of the family in the court."

"In such a situation, Your Majesty and the palace really can't accept that there will be another force in the court ten or twenty years later, and this person is almost a brother to Your Majesty."

"Jing Chu, do you understand what this palace means?"
