"Rumors" is an interesting thing.

The wind blows in the court to the folk market, and after the so-called authoritative interpretation of the people in the private market or the people who point out the country, the rumors are often exaggerated to the point of outrageousness.

And this outrageous rumor is like wine in the wine jar, which is fermented in the folk market for a period of time and then blows back to the court again.

Then, after the powerful courtiers of the court analyzed and made up their own brains, the nature of the whole thing was completely different from the beginning.

This is the case with Li Qinzai's exhortation to Li Zhi to seal Mount Tai.

Out of public interest to advise Li Zhi, the matter itself is not wrong, but the courtiers are very clear about how important it is to the Son of Heaven, and Liu Renliang, the negative teaching material, has been punished, and in this situation, Li Qinzai stood up again.

Li Qinzai's weight is completely different from Liu Renliang's.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, when Liu Renliang first took office, he gave Li Zhi a lot of advice.

Li Zhi selectively accepted or rejected these loyal advices, and the back and forth was also regarded as a normal exchange between the monarch and the minister.

Even if Liu Renliang admonished him to seal Zen this time, was reprimanded with the court staff and dismissed from his official position, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Son of Heaven is just a momentary anger, and maybe it won't be long before the Son of Heaven's anger passes, and Liu Renliang can be reinstated as an official.

But Li Qinzai is not Liu Renliang, his identity and position are different.

Li Qinzai's background, his contributions to Sheji, and his weight in Li Zhi's heart are much stronger than Liu Renliang.

The weight of Li Qinzai's words was much heavier than that of Liu Renliang.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the reason why Li Zhi has the confidence to seal Mount Tai comes from Li Qinzai's contributions to the Tang Dynasty, so that Li Zhi has the courage to dare to fight with God.

Now, this courtier, who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, openly opposes Feng Chan, and the Son of Heaven is ashamed, what kind of punishment will be given to Li Qinzai, no one in Chang'an City knows.

The only thing they know is that Li Qinzai really offended Long Yan this time, and there are only two consequences, very serious and more serious.

As a result, the magnates of Chang'an City became secretive overnight, and no matter whether they were in public or private, they did not mention Li Qinzai's anger at the Son of Heaven.

They were waiting for the Son of Heaven's reaction.

They also know that tomorrow is the day of the Shuowang Pilgrimage.

Whether it is Li Zhi or Li Qinzai, they each have different opinions on Feng Chan, and they will detonate it at this court meeting.

…………

Taiji Palace, Anren Palace.

It's been two days since he broke up with Li Qinzai, and Li Zhi is still angry.

In the past two days, the people in the palace were panicked, and after the Son of Heaven and Li Qinzai returned to the palace, his face was always blue, and his mood was extremely bad, and the dogs guarding the door were inexplicably beaten in the mouth.

In the Anren Palace, Li Zhi stared at the music on the table with a gloomy face.

The music is piled up, most of them are sent to the capital by the state and county officials from all over the Tang Dynasty, they praise the merits and virtues of the Son of Heaven in unison, and finally point to the topic, the merits of the Son of Heaven are far ahead of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.

Seeing these recitals before, Li Zhi may still be overjoyed, feeling that he is the expectation of the people to seal Mount Tai, otherwise why would all the officials in the world discuss it and play it together, and ask the Son of Heaven to seal the Zen.

But since he had a quarrel with Li Qinzai, Li Zhi has become more and more unpleasant to look at these recitals, and every word of praise and praise in it seems to be silently mocking, ridiculing him for being a son of heaven who is so happy and vain and selfish.

"Come on, send all these notes to the three provinces, and deal with them by Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu Xu Yushi, and the notes about sealing Mount Tai don't need to be presented to me, and the province of Shangshu will be sealed." Li Zhi said lightly.

Wang Changfu led several chamberlains into the hall and carefully removed the music on the table.

Empress Wu, who was sitting silently next to Li Zhi, chuckled in her heart.

A simple sentence of purpose reveals many unusual meanings.

The local state and county officials' request for the canonization of Zen was sealed, could it be that Li Zhi had changed his mind about sealing Zen?

Empress Wu's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Compared with Li Zhi's vanity, Empress Wu needs this Zen sealing ceremony even more, which is the most solid and effective way for her to sit firmly in the position of queen.

And at this moment, Li Zhi's reaction to these notes made Empress Wu feel a little apprehensive.

If the Fengzen Taishan is really canceled this time, then I don't know when the next time it will be, the Empress Wu has been planning for a long time, and she has made too many preparations for this, and she really can't accept Li Zhi to take back her life.

Thinking of this, Empress Wu couldn't help but hate Liu Renliang and Li Qinzai, who advised Feng Zen.

blamed them for influencing Li Zhi's decision, causing her long-term plan to fall through.

I gritted my teeth with hatred in my heart, but Empress Wu put on a smile and said softly: "Your Majesty's sealing of Mount Tai is the destiny of heaven, and both the government and the opposition agree, why bother to be in a bad mood for one or two people who don't know the times?" ”

Li Zhi said expressionlessly: "It's okay for Liu Renliang, the old man has always been picky, and it's not once or twice that he sings against him, I don't bother to worry about him, and in a few days I will give him a Xiongjin Provincial Governor, and throw him to Baekje, I can't see it and I'm not upset." ”

But Li Jingchu ...... It's just too much! He actually sang a tune with Liu Renliang, didn't he know how much I valued this Feng Zen? Such an important event, he is actually at odds with me, it is simply a platform for dismantling! ”

Empress Wu's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all agree, but Liu Renliang and Li Jingchu are opposed, Your Majesty does not have to change the decision for these two people, as for Li Jingchu, this time it is indeed a bit excessive, it is better to wait for the aftermath, Your Majesty will also find a reason to send him to the state and county as an official?" ”

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said: "I still want to take away his knighthood, Su Dingfang has just cleared Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jingchu has made great contributions, even so, simply let him roll to Tuyuhun, let me defend the territory and the people, and gnaw Tuyuhun mutton every day!" ”

Empress Wu's mood was a little settled, and the so-called letting Li Qinzai roll to Tuyuhun as an official was of course Li Zhi's momentary anger, but Empress Wu heard the meaning from Li Zhi's words.

It seems that Li Zhi has not changed his decision to seal Zen Taishan.

That's good, what Empress Wu is most afraid of is that Li Zhi will change her decision, as for the grievances between her and Li Qinzai, Rong will say later, the most important thing now is to completely settle the matter of Feng Chan Taishan.

Empress Wu's mind turned, and she said tentatively again: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the Shuowang Dynasty Meeting, and the matter of sealing Mount Tai, with the temper of Liu Renliang and Li Qinzai, the concubines are worried that they will make Your Majesty lose face in public......"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly sank his face and said: "Tomorrow's court meeting, Liu Renliang and Li Qinzai are not allowed to participate!" ”
