The arrival of the British prince Li Tao shocked the monarchs of the Golden Palace.

Li Tao is almost 70 years old, and he is well versed in the way of officialdom as a minister, since he said a key sentence in the incident of Li Zhi abolishing Wang Liwu, Li Tao has chosen to retreat bravely.

First, I didn't want to give Li Zhi the impression of being arrogant, the water in the harem was too deep, and Li Tao said "This is Your Majesty's family matter, why bother asking outsiders" This sentence, from the duty of a courtier, is actually a bit arrogant, and of course he must withdraw decisively afterwards.

Second, the abolition of Wang Liwu was not only to purge the harem, but more importantly, to knock on the Guanlongmen valve group, remove the eldest grandson Wuji Chu Suiliang, and warn the Guanlong group not to meddle in the imperial power.

Although Li Zhi only said one sentence in this matter, the weight of this sentence is very heavy, and this sentence represents the attitude of the military, which reassures Li Zhi and allows him to let go of his hands and feet to clear the harem without scruples.

Of course, Li Tao also had a disagreement with the Guanlong Group, when the Zheng family set up a bureau Li Qinzai to sell the white jade Pegasus, it was one of the revenges of the Guanlong Group, and almost dragged the entire Li family into the water.

Li Tao is an absolutely smart person, and a smart person will never bury hidden disasters for himself, and since then Li Tao has decisively withdrawn from the power and right and wrong of the court, and is basically in a state of retirement.

Therefore, no matter the size of the court meeting on weekdays, Li Tao usually does not participate, and only at the ceremony of the Son of Heaven at the end of each year, Li Tao will appear once.

At this moment today, at an ordinary Shuowang court meeting, Li Tao actually appeared. This had to shock the full palace of monarchs and ministers.

Li Zhidang got up and walked quickly to the outside of the palace gate, and happened to see the old Longzhong Li Tao, who was bent over his waist and slowly pacing under the respectful escort of the palace people.

Li Zhi stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around Li Tao's arm, and sighed: "There is nothing to do in the court, how dare General Lao come in person, you are tired." ”

Li Tao was wearing a formal purple court dress, wearing a beam crown on his head, and a purple gold fish bag around his waist, and when he heard this, he gently broke free of Li Zhi's hand, and stubbornly bowed to Li Zhi.

As soon as he bent down, Li Zhi hurriedly held his elbow and said with a wry smile: "The old general, don't be rude, don't toss you out, my sin will be great." ”

Li Tao shook his head: "The king is the king, the minister is the minister, the king is the minister, the king is the minister, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

Li Zhi hurriedly pushed Li Tao into the hall, Li Tao stepped into the Taiji Palace, and more than ten generals in the hall also stood up, respectfully saluting Li Tao with his fists, and his heart was so happy and convinced that even Li Qinzai, who was standing in the hall, looked envious.

How high a prestige does this have to be to get such a high-scale courtesy.

Walking in from the palace gate, less than a hundred steps, where Li Tao passed, there were no ministers and generals, all of whom saluted him respectfully.

Li Tao was like a kind old man next door, with no arrogance on his face, and he greeted the ministers with a smile on his face.

However, glancing at Li Qinzai, who was standing alone in the center of the main hall, Li Tao walked past him expressionlessly as if he didn't see him.

Li Qinzai touched his nose and smiled bitterly.

This scene was naturally seen in the eyes of the monarch and ministers, and many people suddenly showed a meaningful look.

Li Zhi's eyes also flashed a little unpredictable, and from the moment Li Zhi walked into the main hall, he faintly understood something.

Supporting Li Tao to the head of the hall, Li Zhi instructed the palace people to give Li Tao a seat, and sat not far from Li Zhi's lower head, and the ministers were envious, but they had nothing to say.

With Li Tao's qualifications and merits, as well as his weight in the Tang Dynasty military, he deserves to be ceremoniously courteous by the Son of Heaven, and others can only envy him.

Before Li Tao arrived, Li Zhi and Li Qinzai in the palace were already tense, and if Li Tao came a little later, maybe Li Qinzai would be driven out of the Taiji Palace by Li Zhi's order.

However, at this moment, Li Tao's arrival seemed to pour a basin of ice water into the boiling water, and the tense atmosphere instantly cooled down.

In front of someone's grandfather, are you embarrassed to beat his grandson? No one in their right mind can do this.

Li Zhi was helpless in his heart, but he was not dissatisfied with Li Tao, turned his head and said with a smile: "Today is just an ordinary court meeting, why should the old general come in person, I am a little uneasy." ”

Li Tao knelt on the futon, waved his hand at Li Zhi, and said: "The old minister has not participated in the court meeting for many years, and when I got up early today to hear the bell of the bell and drum tower of Taiji Palace, I suddenly felt a lot of emotion in my heart. ”

"When the old minister was still in good health, he entered the palace every day rain or shine to discuss with the first emperor and many virtuous colleagues, and now the first emperor has passed away, and his colleagues have withered, and only the old minister is still alive in the world, and he doesn't feel like he is crying."

Li Tao said, his cloudy old eyes suddenly flashed with tears, and his expression became sad.

"Therefore, the old minister entered the palace with a cheeky face, listened to the deliberations of your colleagues, and recalled the past, Your Majesty did not blame the old minister for being abrupt." Li Tao raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, and waved his hand.

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Not abrupt, not abrupt, although the old general is old, the heart of worrying about the country has not diminished, I feel both honored and frightened, I am at the height of the temple, if I have the slightest mistake, please ask the old general to drink in time, I am grateful." ”

Li Tao smiled and said, "The monarch and the ministers are deliberating, and the old ministers are just sitting in the hall and listening, and will not intervene, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

After speaking, Li Tao smiled, and then ...... He closed his eyes in the main hall, as if he was about to fall asleep.

This made Li Zhi very embarrassed, just now I was going to teach your grandson a lesson, now that I am doing this, should I continue or stop?

Li Qinzai, who was standing alone in the center of the main hall, pulled the corners of his mouth slightly.

The old fox really deserves to be an old fox, and his mouth is to recall the first emperor's time, full of memories to kill, and after speaking, he promised not to intervene or make trouble, so he sat and listened.

gave Li Zhi all the face, but he sat aside and dozed off.

However, from the moment Li Tao entered the palace, who would think that he really had nothing to do to recall the first emperor? The old prince who has not participated in the court meeting for many years suddenly came, what is he doing here, didn't the monarch and ministers count it?

Li Zhi was also full of bitterness at this time.

Li Tao suddenly came today, saying that he was here to listen, but one mouth is to recall the first emperor, Li Zhi still has basic emotional intelligence, and he knows that this is Li Tao talking to him.

When people come in, they mention the first emperor, what is it for? is telling him to be a wise monarch like the first emperor, aren't you living in the shadow of the first emperor? Didn't you want to surpass the first emperor in terms of martial arts? First of all, you have to be wise.

What do you say about the withering of colleagues, which means that the country was fought hard by the first emperor and the old ministers, you had better do it and cherish it, don't be a loser.

Li Tao's opening remarks were interpreted very deeply by the monarch and ministers, and they were enough to write a small essay after reading it.

Seeing that Li Tao was already sitting on the side and seemed to be dozing off, Li Zhi smiled helplessly, and then looked at Li Qinzai standing in the center of the main hall again.

The corners of his mouth tried to squeeze out a trace of an amiable smile, and Li Zhi's voice seemed to have changed tone, and there was air in the middle, which was called a tender water.

"Jing Chu Aiqing, although something is played, although I am not as broad-minded as the first emperor, I can also ask myself to be able to accept advice, and no matter how much advice I have against my ears, I can listen to it."

Li Qinzai heard that his back exploded.

This is called......

Why don't you beat me up?
