Li Qinzai was a little helpless and wanted to turn around and leave.

Empress Wu really didn't treat him as an outsider, Li Qinzai just designed to kill Lu Jiayiduo and completed Empress Wu's entrustment, she still owed Li Qinzai a favor that she didn't repay, and then asked him to help.

I really think of myself as a donkey to the production team.

Li Qinzai wanted to refuse, he gave you face once, and it would be wrong to kick your nose in the face, you are especially the queen, take care of your harem and it's over, where is there so much?

Seeing Li Qinzai's hesitant expression, how shrewd the Empress Wu was, he could see his reluctance at a glance, and couldn't help but chuckle: "It's so refreshing to do things for Your Majesty, but you don't want to do things for the palace?" ”

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, the higher authorities have sent something, and the minister will go to the soup to fight the fire." ”

"I said that I would go to the soup and go to the fire, but I still didn't want to, I felt that there were too many things in this palace, and I didn't want to have too many entanglements with this palace, right?" Empress Wu said slowly.

Li Qinzai looked a little embarrassed, what about it, it is indeed like this, but everyone is a decent person, why bother to say it thoroughly, so that he doesn't know how to answer.

Li Qinzai said with a straight face: "The minister has no such intention, whether it is His Majesty's business or the queen's business, it is the minister's internal business." ”

Empress Wu laughed: "Well said, the ghost said it so seriously, it's your ability." ”

After laughing a few times, Empress Wu's expression quickly calmed down, and she said lightly: "As I said just now, only when interests are aligned can there be cooperation, and this palace will not let you be busy in vain." ”

"Ling Zu led the army to the east and made the achievement of destroying the country, your Li family will soon be at the peak of power, but it will be extremely prominent, and it will be envied, and your Li family will not have less trouble in the future."

"This palace can promise you that if someone frames the Li family in the future and slanders the heroes, I can help the Li family in the palace and help your Li family eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, are you satisfied with this condition?"

Li Qinzai's expression became solemn.

Empress Wu's promise is not light.

In the eyes of others, she is just the queen of the Tang Dynasty, and after being beaten by Li Zhi, the queen is just a queen, and her power is only within the harem.

But Li Qinzai knows very well that this woman has extraordinary abilities and great ambitions, as long as Li Zhi relaxes a little, she will immediately be able to jump happily.

She said that she could save the Li family from disasters, and Li Qin carried the letter.

This condition is very tempting, Li Tao is old, and he will definitely tell the old man after the triumph of the Eastern Expedition, and now the Empress Wu has put forward this condition, which is equivalent to adding a force to the Li family in vain.

But Li Qinzai is still very hesitant, this force is a double-edged sword, and it can hurt others as well as himself.

In the future, if he gets too close to Empress Wu, the Li family will be labeled as a "post-party", and the family will not be able to take it off for several generations, and Li Zhi will probably have a bad heart for him.

Li Yifu's fate is bloody in front of him, he is still indirectly engaged in by Li Qinzai, and now Li Qinzai can make the same mistake?

The martial arts queen is powerful, and Li Qinzai learned it again today.

It seems that she still hasn't given up pulling him into the camp of the back party, but the method of wooing has changed, and this time she tried to tie him to the same boat on the condition of interests. By the time Li Qinzai came back to his senses, it was too late to get off the boat.

Although the queen's thighs are long and white, it is better to hug Li Zhi's thighs.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Li Qinzai finally made a choice.

"Queen, everyone is a decent person, there is no need to say things so bluntly......" Li Qinzai smiled and said: "The minister's ability is not strong, and the place where he can help the queen is ......"

Before he finished speaking, Empress Wu waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse yet, listen to what Bengong has to say." ”

"Let me ask you, in your eyes, as the queen of the Tang Dynasty, do you agree that this palace sits in this position?"

Li Qinzai was silent for a long time and nodded slowly.

No matter how shrewd this woman is, one thing has to admit is that she is indeed competent for the position of queen, and even surpasses.

A woman who can even be an emperor, how can she be incompetent as a queen?

Empress Wu stared into his eyes and said, "If another woman is replaced to be the queen, do you think she can beat me?" ”

Li Qinzai rubbed his face and said with a wry smile: "Empress...... You let the ministers go, the ministers really don't want to get involved in the affairs of the palace, they will die. ”

Empress Wu sighed: "You have always been cautious, even if this palace wants to pull you into the water, how can you be fooled?" This time it's not a palace affair, it's a world affair......"

Li Qinzai's smile became more and more bitter: "Isn't it time for the minister to say, 'I want to hear it in detail'?" ”

Empress Wu nodded seriously: "Yes." ”

"Whether you want to help or not, this palace must make things clear, if you want to help, you can help, if you don't want to help, you might as well turn around and leave, this palace will never hold a grudge."

Li Qinzai had no choice but to bow down and say, "The minister is willing to hear the details." ”

Empress Wu showed an expression of "you are very good", and the corners of her mouth pulled slightly.

"Three days ago, when you were still busy designing the killing of Lu Jiayiduo, Yang Hongwu, the squire of the Imperial Historical Stage, Dai Zhide, and more than ten courtiers such as Si Lieshao Changbo Li Anqi jointly signed a draft after the beginning of the spring." Empress Wu said lightly.

Li Qinzai frowned, the harem draft is not surprising, the mother-in-law of the Tang Dynasty Emperor, whether it is the queen of the main palace or various concubines, is recruited through draft competition.

Including Empress Wu, she was also drafted into the palace during the Zhenguan period, she was only fourteen years old that year, Li Shimin was old, her teeth were not good, and she could only chew tender grass.

During the reign of each generation of emperors, they had to go through multiple drafts.

There is no specific rule for the draft, and when the courtiers feel that the harem of the Son of Heaven is empty and the heirs are not prosperous enough, they will ask for the draft.

For courtiers such a request, the Son of Heaven usually will not refuse, in other words, a normal man will not refuse, that is really an opportunity to wave his hand and say "change a batch" with confidence.

As for the Empress Wu, of course she is reluctant in her heart, who would be willing to pop up a bunch of women to grab men with herself, she would not do it if she was a normal woman. And those women are all young and beautiful, and they are very threatening.

"So, the queen means that she wants her ministers to stop this draft?" Li Qinzai asked.

Empress Wu shook her head, and her tone suddenly became cold: "You still don't understand." ”

"According to the system, the courtiers should come forward to ask for the draft, and then ask the queen for instructions, and the queen agrees, and then the Ministry of Rites and the courtiers should ask the Son of Heaven for a decree."

"And this time, more than a dozen courtiers asked for a draft, but the palace didn't know about it. It wasn't until their recital fell on the desk of Shangshu Province that the palace knew about it. ”

Empress Wu's face showed indignation: "They didn't take me seriously at all, and after Li Yifu died, they didn't take this palace seriously at all!" ”

Li Qinzai said cautiously: "Minister...... Kill all the dozen or so courtiers? ”

Empress Wu glanced at him and said, "Li Jungong is so angry, if I really want you to do this, will you agree?" ”

Li Qinzai said categorically: "Of course I don't do it, the minister is not crazy, how dare he die like this." ”
