Lao Tzu beat his son, it is justified.

The Li family is a complete food chain, Li Tao is at the top of the food chain, Lao Tzu can beat his son, a son can beat his grandson, a grandson can beat his great-grandson, and the strange thing is that his great-grandson rode his great-grandfather as a horse.

Perfect closed loop.

Li Siwen seriously thought about the Li family's food chain and his humble position in this food chain, so he had to endure the humiliation and promise not to beat his son in the future.

Li Tao smiled with satisfaction.

Very good, the family is neat, harmonious and fraternal, the father is kind and filial to the son, the brother and brother are respectful, the family business is thriving, and the fame and grace are continuous.

It's all up to him, the head of the family, and the old man should be a big white man tonight.

The housekeeper Wu Tong suddenly hurried into the atrium, and couldn't help shouting excitedly when he saw Li Tao's father and son.

"Old man, Erlangjun, there is an angel in the palace!"

Li Tao's expression tightened, and he hurriedly opened the middle door and placed the cicadus eucalyptus to receive the order.

The eunuch entered the door with a yellow silk in his hand and pronounced the holy decree. After reading it, he sent the yellow silk and the letter with both hands with a welcome face, and bowed down to congratulate the British government on being promoted to another county marquis, and the family business has been unfading for a hundred years.

Li Tao was overjoyed, and laughed out loud.

Li Siwen also looked surprised, unfolded the holy decree, and read the words and sentences in it over and over again.

"Good! Good! is worthy of being the grandson of the old man, the Li family's Qilin'er! Li Tao laughed.

Li Siwen hurriedly added: "It is worthy of being my son, and he is really good!" ”

Li Tao glanced at him, and he was embarrassed to hurt his self-esteem on the big day.

The son is the marquis of the county, and being a father is just a Runzhou assassin, is there a kind of shame in addition to joy?

After sending off the eunuch, Li Tao ordered the subordinates in the house to continue to arrange, and asked the housekeeper to tell Cui Jie and Li Qinzai the good news of the promotion.

…………

Tai Chi Palace.

The monarch and the ministers had a good banquet, Li Zhi was obviously in a good mood today, even though Empress Wu and Li Qinzai persuaded him, he still drank a few more glasses of wine.

Li Qinzai was helpless, and he wanted to persuade Li Zhi that since he had drunk, it was best not to have sex with Empress Wu tonight, otherwise under the excitement of alcohol, it would be really easy to burst blood vessels.

However, this topic is not easy to say, what does it mean for you to be a foreign minister involved in the affairs of the Son of Heaven?

Li Zhi took another sip, looked at Li Qinzai and said with a smile: "The Hundred Cavalry Division sent me a military report, Jing Chu turned the world upside down in Liangzhou City." ”

Li Qinzai was stunned and said, "The world can't be turned upside down, right?" The minister only made a slight move. ”

"A little bit of movement? Oh, not to mention the destruction of a Tubo mission, it is said that Princess Honghua was forced to sign an alliance under the city, can Jing Chu know how much Princess Honghua has handed me a note to impeach you these days? Soshu scolded you to the point that you were bloody, saying that you were simply not human......"

Li Zhi said curiously: "What did you do to Princess Honghua?" Everyone is in their forties, could it be that you are like me...... Well, ahem, is it the same misunderstood by the world? ”

Empress Wu glanced at him lightly, but did not squeak.

Li Qinzai's old face suddenly turned red, and he swore to the sky: "The minister has no disrespect for Princess Honghua, it is really Princess Honghua's own body is not right, she is obviously the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and her elbow is turning to Tugu, the minister is Tang Chen, of course he will not get used to her, so he used a little trick to force her to comply." ”

Saying that, Li Qinzai recounted in detail his various deeds in Liangzhou City.

Including how he ordered the delegation to exterminate the Tibetan mission, how to negotiate an offer with the Tibetan and Tuyuhun missions, and how to make a big fuss about the assassination, pretending to be dead to force the envoys of the two countries to sign an alliance under the city.

Li Qinzai said in detail, and every sentence is the truth, it is impossible to hide these things from Li Zhi, besides, there is no need to hide them, no matter how many excessive things Li Qinzai has done, the original intention is to benefit the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing that cannot be said.

Li Zhi was fascinated when he heard this, and he looked envious for a long time, and sighed faintly: "If I were not the emperor, I would be able to learn from Jing Chu to act so wantonly, exhaust all kinds of despicable and insidious means, and seek an immortal merit to glorify the ancestors......"

Li Qinzai's face stiffened, and he hurriedly said: "The method used by the minister is not despicable and insidious, but it still faintly reveals a righteous and awe-inspiring taste, please taste it carefully, Your Majesty ......"

Li Zhi laughed and said: "Fine products are also despicable and insidious, Jing Chu, you don't whitewash this aspect, you are not an honest person in the first place, otherwise how could I let you do it?" ”

Empress Wu also smiled: "I heard that after Jing Chu entered Liangzhou City, he also ordered his subordinates to loot the cattle and sheep of the Tuyuhun tribe? ”

Li Qinzai's expression perked up, and he said, "The minister must explain this matter......

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Well, I'm waiting to hear your explanation." ”

Li Qinzai said solemnly: "To say that the minister robbed the cattle and sheep of the Tuyuhun tribe is simply a slander against the minister!" ”

Li Zhi was stunned: "Didn't you rob it?" ”

"Robbed, but the minister robbed not only the cattle and sheep, but also the woman, the cattle and sheep were slaughtered and eaten, and the woman took them and sold them for money. Just saying that the minister robbed the cattle and sheep is untrue. ”

Li Zhi and Empress Wu were stunned, silent for a long time, Li Zhi muttered: "Such a rude thing, he said it so reasonably, I wonder if I am wrong......

"Queen, why don't we apologize to him?"

Empress Wu covered her mouth and sneered, then glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, don't make a fool of yourself." ”

Li Qinzai said innocently: "Tugu Hun has not been subordinate for a long time, he has often robbed my Tang border people over the years, they can rob us, why can't we rob them, it's too unreasonable, right?" ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Yes, Jing Chu's words are very much in line with my appetite, Kou can go, I can also go, my courtiers are not foolish people who swallow their anger and repay their grievances with virtue." ”

The banquet is so far, it is almost over, seeing Li Qinzai turning his head from time to time to look at the sky outside the palace, Li Zhi knows that Li Qinzai's heart is like an arrow, so he smiled and said: "That's it today, let you go back to reunite with your family, the New Year will be coming soon, and the court is about to rest." ”

"On the day of the New Year, I want to worship the Taimiao, in order to drive away Tibet, collect the merits of Tu Guhun, and tell the ancestors of the temple, Jing Chu, you also came that day, thanks to you, I have the opportunity to be proud in front of my ancestors."

Li Qinzai complied.

Empress Wu chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, drive Tubo, collect Tuhun and Tu Guhun, this is a great achievement, what Gaozu and Emperor Taizong did not do in the past, Your Majesty has done it, just worshipping Taimiao is not enough." ”

Li Zhiqi said: "The queen means ......"

Empress Wu said in a low voice: "The concubine offers a word, Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than ten years, and now the four seas are peaceful, the world is in the heart, and Your Majesty has the great merit of the first emperor, why not seal Mount Tai to benefit the world?" ”

Li Zhi was startled, a frenzy appeared in his eyes, and he muttered: "Feng Chan Taishan? ”

Empress Wu nodded: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, his achievements have already surpassed two generations of emperors, why can't he be enshrined in Mount Tai?" ”

Li Qinzai's heart sank when he heard this, but he opened his mouth but stopped talking, so he had to hang his head and remain silent.
