Chapter 852: The Shopkeeper and the Hireling

Li Tao urgently recalled Li Qinzai to Chang'an, not to rejuvenate the teacher and ask for guilt.

Of course, Li Tao doesn't mind having the opportunity to beat this grandson, after all, this grandson is too angry, and he can't find a reason to beat him on weekdays.

After beating his grandson, Li Tao couldn't help but feel refreshed, and his old face showed a satisfied smile.

Li Qinzai rubbed his buttocks and said resentfully: "Grandpa's leg technique is getting better and better, have you been secretly practicing at home recently?" ”

Li Tao stroked his beard and smiled: "Knife Xiaoer, you kid is as cunning as a loach, it's really not easy to beat you." ”

After a pause, Li Tao said with a serious expression: "Do you know why the old man suddenly summoned you back to Chang'an?" ”

"Grandpa wants to beat me?"

"Well, it's easy to beat you, the main thing is that this time you caused too much trouble, and at the same time provoked several major families, do you think you can carry it?"

Li Qinzai's eyes flashed: "Of course my grandson can't carry it, if I can't carry it, I will throw the pot to Your Majesty, anyway, he asked me to do the errand, and Your Majesty can't stay out of it if something happens, right?" ”

Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You have a good idea, that is, the Son of Heaven has a good personal relationship with you, otherwise your idea is already a big rebellion." ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "The grandson does things for His Majesty because of the food of the king and the loyalty of the king." To put it bluntly, a courtier is a hired servant, and the monarch is a treasurer. The employee does his best for the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper should also come out to help the employee solve the difficulties when the employee is unable to bear the matter. ”

"Whether it is a shopkeeper or a hired worker, everyone is in the same boat, and they all hope that this ship can sail as far as possible, and when the monarch should stand up to do something, he can't push it, in the final analysis, the ownership of this ship belongs to the monarch, the ship is leaking, and the most anxious person should be him."

Li Tao was stunned for a long time, and sighed in amazement: "You say ...... this?"

Li Qinzai blinked: "It's even more rebellious?" ”

Li Tao smiled: "It's not completely unreasonable, the metaphor is still quite appropriate, the monarch and the minister are one, and the world is governed together, which is the foundation of the country, and the country is a big ship, everyone hopes that it will go as far as possible, yes, this is the truth." ”

Li Tao paused, but said again: "The analogy is a metaphor, you provoked those families, even Your Majesty can't help you carry it, since the fall of the eldest grandson Wuji, although Your Majesty has suppressed the family a lot, but after all, he is still afraid of them." ”

"So, this time you provoke the family, Your Majesty may not have much to help you, and in the end, you have to rely on yourself to carry it."

Li Qinzai shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "The shopkeeper can't take care of things, what should I do with the hired workers?" Grandpa, everyone has already killed horses and demonstrated in front of my house, can I swallow my anger? ”

Li Tao's eyes narrowed: "With the old man's understanding of you, it is impossible for you to do nothing if someone else kills a horse in front of the house, right?" Tell me how you fought back. ”

Li Qinzai said: "My grandson has always been law-abiding and honest......"

Li Tao interrupted him coldly: "If you say this kind of shameless words again, don't blame the old man for killing him." ”

Li Qinzai sighed and said: "Sun Er has already sent people back to Chang'an City, waiting for the opportunity to sneak into Li Youdao's mansion, how they demonstrate in my house, I will pay tribute to the past, fair and just, Tong Su is not bullied." ”

Li Tao frowned: "Murder? ”

Li Qinzai nodded, his eyes looked at him calmly and calmly: "Kill." ”

Li Tao sighed and said, "The means are too intense, and this revenge is afraid that it will not end." ”

"The moment they killed the horses, they were already dying. Even if the grandson is not a child of the Guogong Mansion, he can't bear this breath, the eldest husband stands in the world, if he can't be happy with the grudge, he can only swallow his anger in case of trouble, and he doesn't know what kind of nest he will become in the future, and the whole person is wasted. ”

Li Tao threw an appreciative glance at him and said with a smile: "I, the boy of the Li family, should have such courage." ”

Li Qinzai blinked: "Grandpa doesn't beat me?" ”

Li Tao snorted coldly: "You didn't do anything wrong, why did the old man beat you?" My British government is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated. ”

Looking at Li Qinzai's face, Li Tao showed a hint of a smile: "You, you are still too young, and you despise the power and methods of the family gate lords too much, and it is not as simple as killing a few horses to provoke them." ”

"Your Majesty has appointed you as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, you can do your errands with peace of mind, and the old man will help you solve the rest of the things."

Li Qinzai stared at Li Tao's face with burning eyes, and suddenly said: "Grandpa, for some reason, my grandson found that you are becoming more and more handsome, even if you are not a famous general, just with your old face, it is enough to charm thousands of old women in Chang'an, you must have harmed many peerless beauties when you were young, right?" ”

"The grandson can vaguely imagine the chic and heroic posture of the grandfather pulling countless girls and dancing in the square......"

Li Tao said with a cold face: "After saying that, get out, pour some ecstasy soup and think the old man is forgetful?" If you get into trouble again, don't blame the old man for cleaning up the portal! ”

Li Qinzai rolled obediently.

Li Tao sat alone in the study, suddenly took out a small bronze mirror and took a photo, looked left and right, looked at it for a long time, and counted every age spot on his face clearly, then put down the bronze mirror, and muttered: "Is the old man really so handsome?" ”

"You know the goods!"

Tai Chi Palace.

Song Sen, the head of Yongzhou, the Hundred Cavalry Division, stood in front of Li Zhi and was reporting to Li Zhi about the recent turmoil in Chang'an City.

At that time, Li Shimin's original intention of setting up the Hundred Cavalry Division was to hear about the news and investigate the hundred officials, especially the movements of the government and the opposition in Chang'an City.

After all, it is the Imperial City of the Son of Heaven, and if the emperor doesn't even understand the movements of the city where he lives, he is too incompetent.

Song Sen is a capable official, he has been doing a very good job over the years, when he cooperated with Li Qinzai to envoy Tuyuhun, the Hundred Cavalry Division provided Li Qinzai with a lot of information, the Tang Dynasty was able to recover Tuyuhun, Song Sen also made great contributions, and since then, Li Zhi has taken a high look at him.

At this moment, Song Sen was respectfully standing in front of Li Zhi and talked about the Zhao County Li clan killing horses in Ganjingzhuang.

Li Zhi's brows gradually furrowed: "The Li clan of Zhaojun is actually arrogant? ”

Song Sen lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Li Xianhou is the chief examiner of the Ming Arithmetic Section, he can hold dozens of fame in his hands, and dozens of fame are dozens of official positions, which family in the world is not moved?" ”

Li Zhi was silent for a moment and said, "How did Li Jingchu react?" Don't tell me that he endured it, Jing Chu has never been a person who swallows his anger. ”

Song Sen smiled sleekly and said, "Your Majesty guessed right, Li Xianhou didn't bear it, so he sent someone to sneak into Li Youdao's mansion at that time, and around ugly time last night, thirteen tribes died in Li Youdao's mansion, which happened to be the same as the number of horses killed in front of Ganjingzhuang." ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "I know that this bastard can't bear it." ”
