It is a bit ridiculous for the heavenly family to say that "husband and wife are loved".

But Li Zhi and Empress Wu really have a husband and wife relationship, at least once did.

It's just that when the former Wu Meiniang was taken back to the palace by Li Zhi from Ganye Temple, Empress Wu officially entered the battlefield and fought with Queen Xiao Shufei in the harem.

Since then, love has probably died completely in her heart, replaced by a lust for power, and a deep fear of the future.

Queen Wang died, Concubine Xiao Shu also died, Empress Wu stepped on their bones, stood at the peak of the victor, drew her sword and was dazed, and the fear in her heart still lingered.

The fighting in the harem over the years made her see the essence of a man clearly, and she was most ruthless and emperorly, and she was afraid that one day she would be like Queen Xiao Shufei, who would be abandoned by this man.

Empress Wu is a smart woman after all, she knows very well that sooner or later Israel will have a color decay, although the dog man is a good royal sister, but after all, he likes the new and hates the old.

If you want not to be abandoned by men, you must make yourself important and make him inseparable from him, which is the best way to protect himself.

So she began to help him review the recitals, help him take care of the government, and at the same time secretly cultivate his own henchmen, the original intention of this henchman was that one day when he wanted to abolish the queen, there would be different voices in the court to stand up against him.

At this time, she has not yet had too much ambition, even if she is a party member in the court, she actually exists for self-preservation.

However, when she discovers that the position of Empress is secured, and so many enemies of her have disappeared forever, her ambitions slowly begin to rear.

She's getting a little arrogant.

Tired of all kinds of operations in the winning case, they planted nails in the school and forced Li Qinzai to compromise...... She didn't know where her ultimate goal was, but she knew she had to put more power in her hands, and only with power in her hands could she feel safe.

This time, however, she overturned.

She didn't expect that just a few short conversations with Li Qinzai could make the man who gets along day and night so angry, and every word and sentence of his was like a knife to the heart, deeply piercing her heart.

"Your hand is stretched too long," Li Zhi said coldly: "I acquiesced to you before because I knew what you were afraid of, and I could let you go with one eye open and one eye closed, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Yuan Gongyu and these people are used by you, and I don't object to ......"

Saying that, Li Zhi paused, stared at Empress Wu's eyes, and said coldly: "But you are getting more and more excessive, Li Jingchu is a very important national soldier of mine, and his role is no less than a hundred thousand people who control the strings." ”

"What's even more valuable is that although Li Jingchu is capable, he has never had ambitions, his entry into the office was forcibly appointed by a holy decree of mine, he did not want to participate in the court struggle, and even did not hesitate to hide in this remote courtyard to live a hermit-like life."

"People are far away from the rivers and lakes, but they still don't forget to worry about the state affairs and social affairs, and selflessly pass on their knowledge to the world, build cement and hydraulic presses for me, and provide relief to disaster victims with work."

"Everything he does is for the country and the people, and you, as the queen of the world, are forcing him step by step, is this what a queen does?"

Li Heming stared at her gloomily: "Don't treat others with yourself in everything, do you think he really cares so much about power?" Do you think he will take that little bit of power in the academy in his eyes? With his ability, if he really breeds ambition, within three or five years, he will be the marquis and worship the prime minister, and rule the world......"

"Will he be so patient and wait for these students to grow up and be used by him? It's ridiculous! ”

Empress Wu knelt in front of Li Zhi, hung her head and cried: "Your Majesty, it is the concubine who thinks badly, and the concubine knows that she is wrong." ”

Li Zhi was a little emotional, his face flushed, and he tried to calm down for a while, sighing in disappointment.

"Mei Niang, I know that it has not been easy for you all these years, and I feel sorry for what happened to you, and I am willing to give you some power and allow you to do some misdeeds. I think I'm already very tolerant, why do you repeatedly provoke my bottom line? ”

"Li Jingchu, a completely harmless person, was forced to retreat by you, isn't this the foundation of my severance? If he is afraid of power and becomes a hermit in the countryside, and no longer offers a plan or a plan for me, and the society loses the country, later generations will comment, is it my fault, or is it your fault? ”

"The Tang Dynasty can accommodate all things in the world, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, but it can't accommodate a single Li Jingchu, so I and the two generations of previous emperors have been courteous and virtuous corporal over the years, and the posture of seeking talent is not a big joke?"

Li Zhi sank his face, stared at the familiar and unfamiliar face of Empress Wu, and said in a cold tone: "Mei Niang, this is the last time." ”

…………

Li Qinzai was lying on a recliner in the front yard, in a large shape, and his eyes were staring blankly at the gray sky.

Although there are not a few words, his posture is full of stories.

It's a little tired, my heart is tired.

Last time, his cousin was framed and the Li family was hurt by rumors, and Li Qinzai secretly decided that after the incident, he must find a place to spread the wilderness.

In the past few years, Li Qinzai has been bent on living a few days of idle clouds and wild cranes, but the world always refuses to let him go, his own affairs, his family's affairs, and other people's affairs, one after another.

Matters that have nothing to do with him have to be mixed in, this damn human affection.

A man who has lived two lifetimes, but can't live the life he wants, no matter how much money and power he has, it is a kind of life sorrow.

decided, go back and find a foolproof excuse, take your mother-in-law and son, and stay away from Chang'an to play in the mountains and rivers.

Teaching? Power? Fuck it!

Thinking of this, Li Qinzai's mood suddenly improved.

Prepare well, get a few more carriages, full of all kinds of snacks and fruits, bring one or two hundred subordinates, the important thing is to bring enough money, have a normal mind, and stay away from liars, King Teng is a very typical negative teaching material.

All the way, eat and drink, let's also have a "boat will pass away, and the rivers and seas will live for the rest of their lives".

It's very moist.

Li Qinzai suddenly ejected from the recliner and shouted, "Come on, prepare four ...... for me No, eight trotters, all front hooves, quick! ”

Spices such as bay leaves, star anise, and cinnamon were packed in small gauze bags, a huge casserole was filled with water, and eight pigs' trotters were simmered in water for two hours.

When night fell, the pig's trotters were finally stewed, the pig's trotters in the big casserole had been stewed, and the bamboo chopsticks were soft and glutinous.

Li Qinzai closed the door carefully, and the family of three sat in the wing room in the front yard, Cui Jie and Buck'er sniffed vigorously, and the fragrance of the room was appetizing.

"Dad, I want to eat, I want to eat!" Buckwheat waved the bamboo chopsticks and said loudly.

Li Qinzai fished out a whole pig's trotter from the casserole, dried it and stuffed it to buckwheat, and said with a smile: "Grab it with your hands and gnaw it, you don't have to care about any manners." ”

Of course, Buckwheat will not be polite, and sure enough, she grabbed it with her hands, like a little tiger who has just learned to hunt, showing her teeth and biting fiercely, and her milk is fierce.

Li Qinzai fished out another pig's trotter and gave it to Cui Jie, Cui Jie was born in a family after all, and she couldn't do such an imageless thing as grabbing and gnawing with her hands, so she carefully tore off the skin of the pig's trotter with a bamboo chopstick.

The meat is stewed too badly, the bamboo chopsticks are broken as soon as they are clamped, and the meat skin is picked up and sent into the mouth, which melts in the mouth, leaving a fragrant fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Cui Jie's eyes lit up and blurted out: "It's delicious!" ”

Li Qinzai laughed, and also picked up a pig's trotter, grabbing and gnawing with both hands like buckwheat.

Cui Jie stopped after eating two bites, and whispered: "The pig's trotters made by the husband are so delicious, can you send a few to Your Majesty and the Queen?" ”

Li Qinzai snorted and said, "Didn't send it, did you pay for the food?" Why let them eat for nothing? ”

Cui Jie was shocked and knocked him hard: "Silence!" Don't die, dare to talk nonsense. ”

"Madame eats you with peace of mind, don't worry about anything else, by the way, in a few days I plan to make up a nonsense to take a vacation, let's go out as a family of three to play, let's play for a year and a half."

Cui Jie was stunned: "For no reason, why do you want to go out to play?" Are the disciples of the academy careless? ”

She didn't know about the conversation between Li Qinzai and Empress Wu in the garden today, and Li Qinzai didn't want to explain.

"Play if you want to, be a little reckless, if you don't play, we'll be old, and when you die, you regret not seeing the great rivers and mountains of our Tang Dynasty, what a pity."

Seeing Li Qinzai's dashing appearance, Cui Jie intuitively felt that something might have happened, but Li Qinzai was reluctant to say, and she didn't dare to ask more.

When the family of three was happily nibbling on pig's trotters, Li Zhi's voice suddenly came from outside the wing.

"Huh? It's so fragrant, why is this house closed? Did Jing Chu secretly make something delicious and not let me know? ”

The door was pushed open suddenly, Li Zhi walked in, and saw a family of three each holding a pig's trotters, looking at him with a confused face.

Li Zhi sniffled vigorously, couldn't help but be angry, pointed at Li Qinzai and said, "Li Jingchu, you are too much!" ”

The eight pig's trotters had been cleaned by the three of them, and Li Zhi looked at the empty casserole with a dull gaze, gritted his teeth and said, "Unforgivable!" Tell me, what did you just do? I want to eat it too, and I'll make a new one! ”

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, uh, Your Majesty calm ......down," Li Qinzai hurriedly reassured.

Li Zhi was furious: "What kind of expensive things, actually sneaking away from me to eat, is this what a loyal minister should do?" ”

Cui Jie was so embarrassed that she glared at Li Qinzai fiercely, and after saluting with a red face, she hurriedly retired and fled the scene.

"Your Majesty, the minister eats pig's trotters, which is very vulgar and despised by the powerful, so he does not dare to offer it to the Son of Heaven, besides, the pig's trotters are high in fat, and Your Majesty should not eat them......"

Li Zhi said quietly: "Speaking of which, you are sneaky and hide from me and don't give me food." ”

Li Qinzai wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said, "If Your Majesty really wants to eat, the minister will make it for you?" ”

"What are you waiting for, do it quickly, I will prepare the wine, and wait for the bed." Li Zhi was finally happy.

I have to say that Li Zhi is really eager for food, and I don't know if he is also so virtuous in the Taiji Palace.

The pig's trotters were stewed for two hours, and Li Zhi waited patiently for two hours, and he didn't urge a word, for fear that the pig's trotters would spoil the heat after he urged.

It wasn't until Li Qinzai brought the fragrant casserole that Li Zhi was overjoyed.

Manners or something, it's completely unnecessary. After blowing cool, he grabbed the pig's trotters with both hands and gnawed it, and the oil juice slid down the corners of his mouth.
