Chapter 712: Loyal and Upright Minister

Visiting Liu Renliang was not an impromptu idea, but a decision made by Li Qinzai after careful consideration.

Li Qinzai didn't think about the risk because he had confidence in Li Zhi.

In terms of the merits of the emperor, Li Shimin and Li Zhi are indistinguishable, and in terms of broad-mindedness, Li Zhi is even more tolerant than Li Shimin.

History books commented on Li Zhi that he was cowardly, and the historian carved his pen like a knife, most of which were smears.

Li Zhi is not cowardly, but broad-minded, if Li Shimin is alive, the father and son face the same thing, what Li Zhi can forgive, Li Shimin may not be able to forgive.

Liu Renliang really annoyed Li Zhi, and he said it so excessively, and he only received ten court rods, which shows that Li Zhi is really not a stingy person.

Therefore, Li Qinzai dared to visit Liu Renliang calmly, and he believed that Li Zhi would not mind.

The only thing that can make Li Zhi kill is probably that the imperial power is threatened. In today's Tang Dynasty, political views are not worth any principled grievances.

Liu Renliang was very surprised by Li Qinzai's arrival, strictly speaking, his relationship with Li Qinzai was not good, and he stood on the opposite side of him in the court several times.

Unexpectedly, he was beaten by the court cane, and his colleagues and friends all retreated, and the first person to visit him was Li Qinzai, which really made Liu Renliang feel both surprised and vigilant.

What the hell is this guy trying to do?

Li Qinzai came to Liu Renliang's mansion for the first time, and after looking around and observing the environment, he nodded slowly.

"Liu Caomin, ......"

Liu Renliang widened his eyes, although I have been dismissed, I am indeed a grass citizen, but how dare you call it that? The people who came out of the Guogong Mansion were fed to the dogs?

Li Qinzai ignored Liu Renliang's grievances, looked around the house and shook his head: "Did your mansion just be ransacked by bandits?" ”

Liu Renliang was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"The family is surrounded by four walls, there is not even a dog to guard the door, you are too a failure as an official, and you should really call my grandfather here and let him see how depressed his former political enemies are, and all the revenge has been avenged."

Li Qinzai dared to swear to the sky, this time it was really not his own mouth, Liu Renliang's family was really poor, the kind that was so poor that it jingled.

The house is neat, but there are no bare furnishings on the walls, the futon and the low table are also tattered, and a pottery bowl on the table is also open.

When the thief enters the door, he will leave two pennies silently with red eyes and leave.

Qing Guan, Qing official in the absolute sense.

Although Li Qinzai has a salty personality, he lives more exquisitely than anyone else in terms of enjoying life, and Liu Renliang and him are completely people from two worlds.

Liu Renliang took a deep breath.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, Chang'an's gentleman doesn't talk much, he should be generous......

"When I came to the door today, apart from visiting the old man, is there anything else?" Liu Renliang's face turned cold.

"Oh, it's nothing, it just depends on how poor you are......" Li Qinzai said casually, and then immediately changed his words: "Cough, no, the younger generation is here to pay homage to your mansion, I have heard for a long time that Liu Shizhong is as honest as water, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." ”

said things against his will, but Li Qinzai was surprised in his heart.

is so poor, the mother-in-law didn't divorce him, and her true love is really hammered.

Liu Renliang saw Li Qinzai's disapproving expression, and suddenly knew that what he said about the nonsense of "incorruptible as water" was not credible, and this thing must have scolded himself in his heart for being a poor ghost.

"Now that you've seen it, the old man is injured, and it's inconvenient to entertain ......," Liu Renliang said and said in a loud voice: "Come, send off!" ”

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Hey, don't worry, how can there be a reason to chase away customers in the world, and besides, I still have something." ”

Liu Renliang said with an unkind face: "If you have something, just say it, and leave as soon as you finish." ”

Li Qinzai sat up straight and said, "The juniors heard that Liu Shizhong was not afraid of Tianwei and made a mistake, and the juniors were deeply admired. ”

Liu Renliang stared at him suspiciously, silently distinguishing whether what this thing said was the truth or not.

Li Qinzai smiled: "It's the truth, you don't have to be suspicious, don't hide it from Liu Shizhong, what you said actually I want to say, but I don't have that much courage, in front of you, I seem very small." ”

Liu Renliang's face was a little pale, and he said lightly: "People have their own nature, don't force it, what Li Xianhou does, the old man can't do, the old man actually admires you more." ”

Li Qinzai shook his head and said, "Liu Shizhong, although the junior admires your offense, but I don't think your method is correct, with all due respect, your approach will only make the relationship between the monarch and the minister more tense, and it will not do you any good." ”

Liu Renliang said dissatisfiedly: "The world has been poor for a long time, and Your Majesty still wants to seal Mount Tai, regardless of the life and death of the people, if the old man doesn't admonish, what else can he do?" Are you like you who are silent and ignore the sufferings of the people? ”

Li Qinzai sighed and said: "What the junior means is that we can use a tactful method to make His Majesty realize that it is wrong to seal Zen Taishan, instead of pointing at his nose and scolding the street in person." ”

"To be honest, if you scold Your Majesty, you can't solve any problems at all except to relieve your anger, but it will make the contradictions between the monarch and the minister more acute."

Liu Renliang sneered: "Do you have a tactful method? ”

Li Qinzai said helplessly: "Not yet, but I know that before I think of a good way to persuade Your Majesty, it is better to plan first and then act, rather than acting like a fool...... Well, a certain person surnamed Liu, who is highly respected and does not disclose his official position publicly, does not care about pointing at His Majesty's nose and scolding. ”

Liu Renliang inhaled deeply again.

Don't be angry, don't get angry, and have self-cultivation in front of the younger generation......

"Li Xianhou, the old man came to sum up, you came to the door today, first laughed at the old man for being poor, and then said that he admired the old man for making a mistake, and said that the old man acted like a fool, and finally accused the old man of exacerbating the contradiction between the monarch and the minister......"

Li Qinzai was stunned, listening to his summary, it seemed to ...... That's true.

Liu Renliang said with a pale face: "Li Qinzai, you are not good at coming today, are you here to provoke the old man?" ”

Li Qinzai said embarrassedly: "Liu Shizhong is not strange, the younger generation is used to suppressing first and then raising, and I haven't had time to say anything to praise you......"

Liu Renliang waved his robe sleeves vigorously: "No need!" The old man doesn't want to listen to a word of the words that come out of your mouth, so he can't leave! ”

Li Qinzai sighed, he ...... with this poor ghost Well, it's really not the right way to go with this Qing official, he turned his face after saying a few words, no wonder he was spanked by Li Zhi, just this dog's temper, he deserves it!

Li Qinzai didn't want to stay longer, so he got up and walked out.

When he walked to the door, Li Qinzai suddenly turned around and said: "With the current situation, Your Majesty's enshrinement of Mount Tai is indeed an evil government, and the evil government must be stopped by loyal and upright ministers." ”

"Liu Shizhong, you have done your best, and I will take care of the next thing."

Liu Renliang was stunned: "You ......"

Li Qinzai smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a loyal minister, I have done more immoral things than good deeds, but I can't see that Datang has hurt the country and affected my life." ”
