Walking out of the Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai's heart was still full of anger.

This is not a conflict of values, but a contradiction between the two classes that cannot be reconciled.

The powerful will always be the powerful, and their interests will always be a hundred times more important than the lives of the people.

Li Zhi needs to seal Zen, and Empress Wu needs to seal Zen even more, as for how many people will be ruined because of this Zen closure, and how many people will starve to death on the way to escape, they don't care.

When a person dies, a few more are just grass mustard, and when the spring breeze blows, it is full of blooming everywhere, what does it matter if there are a few grasses?

Li Qinzai can't argue with Empress Wu anymore, his values are like playing the piano to a cow in front of Empress Wu.

After walking out of the Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai's face turned pale and he hurriedly walked towards the Guogong Mansion.

Liu Ah Si and the others behind him saw Li Qinzai's ugly face, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they followed one after another.

Back at the Guogong Mansion, Li Qin Zai went to Li Tao's study, this time he didn't knock on the door, he kicked it open vigorously, Li Tao who was sitting in the study was reading, he was frightened, and then his old face showed anger.

Li Qinzai took the lead: "Don't scold me, don't beat me, I'm in a bad mood, I kicked the door, what's the matter?" ”

Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "It's not good, old man, this will make you feel better!" ”

After speaking, he picked up a horizontal knife hanging on the wall of the study, took off the scabbard and killed Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai's eyelids jumped, and he didn't understand him if he was in a bad mood?

Then Li Qinzai turned around and ran, Li Tao waved his scabbard and chased after him, an old man who was almost seventy, and when he chased and killed his grandson, he was as light as a swallow.

The grandfather and grandson ran all over the yard, and the people of the Guogong Mansion were stunned, such a familiar scene, I haven't seen it for many years.

Li Qinzai was a little sad and angry, he was in a bad mood and wanted to go home to vent his anger, but he was put out by his grandfather as soon as he got up.

What about a good family as a man's safe haven?

After a long time, the grandfather and grandson sat back in the study, Li Tao held the scabbard in one hand, gasping slightly, Li Qinzai knelt in front of Li Tao with low eyebrows, so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.

"Is the flame out? Calm down? Do you want the old man to throw you into the lake and consolidate it? After the violence, Li Tao was in good spirits, with a crooked smile on his face, and the only thing that was not perfect was that he was still missing a cigarette after the fact.

Li Qinzai nodded obediently: "The fire is extinguished, it can't be extinguished anymore, and if it is extinguished again, it will be out of gas......"

"Tell me, what kind of evil fire did you come back today? Whoever provokes you outside, who do you seek revenge, don't bring the dog's temper to the house, otherwise the old man will be punished even if he is far away. Li Tao asked with a cold face.

"Those who mess with their grandchildren, grandchildren can't afford to mess with ......," Li Qinzai said helplessly.

Li Tao raised his eyebrows: "Are there any people in the world that my British government can't afford to provoke?" ”

"Yes."

"Who?"

"Empress Wu today."

The grandfather and grandson fell into an awkward silence.

After a long time, Li Qinzai said cautiously: "Grandpa, look, the grandson can't afford to mess with the queen, is it reasonable to go home and have an evil fire?" ”

Li Tao frowned and said, "Empress Wu provoked you?" You entered the palace after returning to Chang'an today? ”

"Yes."

"And then you had an argument with the Queen?"

"Yes."

Li Tao sighed: "Why the dispute? ”

Li Qinzai said honestly: "For Your Majesty to seal Mount Tai." ”

Li Tao was silent again.

Over the years in the court, Li Tao has always been very responsible, he is very clear about his positioning, a military general is a military general, except for the military, he has never participated in the affairs of the government and the country.

But not participating does not mean pretending to be deaf and dumb, Li Zhi sealed Mount Tai, Li Tao actually disagreed in his heart, when the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had to echo, all Li Tao could do was to be silent.

But who would have thought that his grandson would finally pierce this layer of window paper.

"Your Majesty and the Empress are not just to show off their merits, understand?" Li Tao said slowly.

"Sun Er understands that it is more important to consolidate the imperial power." Li Qinzai sighed and said, "Grandpa also thinks that his grandson did something wrong? ”

Li Tao shook his head: "The old man agrees with your idea, and the matter of sealing Zen is slow, but the old man will not argue with the Son of Heaven and the queen head-on, which is very unwise." ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "Sun Er is a young man, young people are inevitably impulsive, their brains are hot, and they blurt out what they should say and what they shouldn't say." ”

Li Tao sighed: "The queen needs this ceremony of sealing Zen even more, if you object, the grudge with her will be dead, the old man asked you, do you still want to insist on opposing the queen?" ”

Li Qinzai nodded: "Since I have expressed my attitude, I will not change it." Feng Chan is a bad government, taking advantage of the fact that the imperial court has not yet ordered to increase the endowment of the people of the world, and while the financial and material resources of the government in various places have not been consumed too much, the grandson must admonish His Majesty. ”

"No reason can be a butcher's knife against the people, whether justified or unjust."

Li Qinzai spoke loudly, Li Tao looked at him blankly, and there was gradually a bit of appreciation and relief in his eyes.

"Qinzai, you have grown up, you don't rely on the grace of your family, you earn your own official title, and you have your own ability. You have your own ideas in everything, and the old man does not interfere. ”

Pulling out a stack of papers from the low table, Li Tao patted it and said: "The old man's protégé sent what you need, and most of the financial and material resources and labor used by various states and counties in Guanzhong are here, and I remember every stroke very clearly." ”

"You take it, so you can use it raw." Li Tao paused, and his tone gradually became solemn: "Three days later, the old man will participate in the Shuowang Dynasty Meeting." ”

Li Qinzai was stunned: "Grandpa, you are old, why bother ......"

Li Tao shook his head: "The old man eats the Lu of three generations of kings, how can he be a corpse vegetarian?" The country was brought down by the first emperor and the old brothers of a dry robe, and no one was allowed to abuse it. ”

"Even you, a young descendant, dare to stand up and ask for the people's life, how can the old man be inferior to you? Scold! ”

…………

Li Qinzai left the Guogong Mansion and went out of the city on the same day and returned to Ganjingzhuang.

At the same time as Li Qinzai left the city, a letter was handed to the Taiji Palace, and the palace people sent it to Li Zhi's hands.

Li Zhi was dining with Empress Wu, Wang Changfu held the letter in both hands, Li Zhi took it and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Li Jingchu's letter? What kind of letter did he write? Do you have something to say in front of you when you go to the palace? ”

Empress Wu's face suddenly became ugly, but she smiled hard and said, "Although Jing Chu has made a lot of meritorious contributions, his heart is like a child, with rough hair and a lack of stability. ”

Li Zhi turned his head to look at her as he unfolded the letterhead.

Returning his gaze to the letterhead, Li Zhi took a closer look at it, and said with a smile: "The queen guessed what Jing Chu wrote in the letter?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know."

"Haha, Jing Chu said, the spring flowers have bloomed recently, and the idyllic countryside has a good scenery, Jing Chu invited me to go hunting outside Ganjing Village tomorrow."

Li Zhi put away the letterhead and said with a smile: "It is indeed the time of spring, the rare good weather of the year, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, and I should go out for a walk, just by the way to see how the sweet potatoes are growing." ”
