When everyone was drinking the soup in a harmonious manner, Pei Yan suddenly jumped out and threw a lump of poop into the soup pot.

Not only Li Zhi, but also the courtiers were disgusted.

When Yang Hongwu and more than a dozen other people first initiated the joint sparse, you did not object, but later the public opinion expanded, and you did not squeak when thirty or fifty courtiers jointly signed the sparse, but now hundreds of people have chosen to approve and jointly sparse, and you jumped out to oppose it at this time.

Didn't you get beaten by your father when you were a child, why is this person so rebellious?

Li Qinzai also stood on the Golden Palace, looking at Pei Yan's expressionless face, his eyes were also full of respect.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it, I haven't seen such a heartless person for many years, look at him more, look at him less.

Li Zhi sat on the golden palace, his face turned green.

It's you who want me to draft, it's you who oppose my draft, you are the good guys and bad guys, what am I?

A gloomy gaze swept over Pei Yan's damn face, Li Zhi held back his anger, and his gaze immediately turned to Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai replied with an innocent look, it has nothing to do with me, I am also on the sparse, I also said what I should say, who knew that such a heartless goods would appear halfway.

There was silence in the Golden Palace, and everyone looked at Pei Yan with respectful eyes.

Pei Yan raised his head proudly, not caring about the gazes of others.

He is a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion and a superintendent of the imperial history, as for why he suddenly came out to oppose the draft, there is only one reason, he is still a member of the Pei clan in Hedong.

Pei Shi and Li Qinzai have a big enmity, because Li Qinzai is in favor of the draft, so Pei Yan must oppose it.

This is the brand that the family has put on the individual, Pei Yan and Li Qinzai do not have any personal grudges, but since Li Qinzai is the enemy of the family, he can't stay out of it.

Therefore, what Li Qinzai approves, Pei Yan must oppose.

As for whether he offended the Son of Heaven because of this, Pei Yan didn't care.

This is an era in which the Son of Heaven and the family gate valve rule the world together, Pei Yan has the support of the Hedong Pei family behind him, and he also has sufficient confidence.

He is not only a member of the Pei clan, but also does not rely on the power of the family, in fact, he is a Jinshi who participated in the imperial examination, the Ming Jing and the first, talented and powerful, and he is not afraid of offending the Son of Heaven at all.

The originally amiable court was very disappointed by Pei Yan, Li Zhi's face was ugly, and the faces of the courtiers were not much better.

It's just that in the matter of the draft, Li Zhi can't say anything more in the court, once he opens his mouth, he will inevitably be criticized for being obsessed with beauty and having no intention of politics or anything, anyway, the big hat is buttoned on his head as if he doesn't want money.

There was silence in the Golden Hall for a long time, and Li Zhi suddenly stood up and shook the sleeves of his robe fiercely.

"Retreat!"

…………

The ministers dispersed, and half an hour later, Li Qinzai remained in the Taiji Palace.

It is still the Foguang Temple where she met with Empress Wu, who still kneels in front of the golden statue of the Buddha and worships her desires.

Li Qinzai stood behind Empress Wu and looked at her quietly.

It wasn't until Empress Wu finished all the salutes, turned around, and then glanced at Li Qinzai lightly.

"Jing Chu is very helpful, this palace asks you to boost the prestige of the queen, you are good, you directly ask for the draft, don't you know your weight? Okay now, you took the lead, and in the blink of an eye there are hundreds of courtiers in favor of the draft, satisfied? ”

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said, "Empress, you listen to the ministers' quibbles......"

"You can't really blame the minister for this, it's really ...... His Majesty went to the minister's mansion two days ago, can the queen know about this? ”

Empress Wu narrowed her eyes and realized: "You mean, you are in favor of the draft, is it Your Majesty's instructions?" ”

Li Qinzai blinked innocently: "The minister didn't say anything. ”

Empress Wu said coldly: "The palace is busy, you didn't help at all, but added countless enemies to the palace, those women who were selected into the palace can't do anything in order to compete for favor?" ”

Li Qinzai said cautiously: "Didn't the queen say that she doesn't care about those women who are elected to the palace?" A hundred of them can't beat you ......"

Empress Wu sneered: "Of course this palace doesn't care, but it doesn't have to make trouble for yourself, if you don't go to that trick, maybe the draft will not be over, now that you are on the sparse, hundreds of courtiers echo it, just to meet Your Majesty's wishes, and there is no reason for this palace to object." ”

Li Qinzai showed an innocent expression again.

Empress Wu sighed and said, "That's it, this palace is not an unreasonable person, there are a few more yellow-haired girls in the harem, and this palace will not be unable to handle it." ”

"Let's get down to business, how can I boost the prestige of this palace, do you have a way?"

Li Qinzai pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "The minister does have a way, but it takes a hard trip to the queen......

Empress Wu's eyes lit up: "You said, as long as you can achieve your goal, it doesn't hurt to work hard." ”

"Queen, seeing that spring is coming, the beginning of spring is not only the time of spring sowing, but also the time of picking mulberry and raising silkworms, the minister heard that every year in spring, the Son of Heaven not only has to sacrifice to the temple with the ministers, but the queen also has to sacrifice to the peasants with the women of the court, praying for good weather and ......"

Empress Wu nodded: "That's right, there is indeed this rule." ”

"In the past, the queen and the wives were all sacrificing to the agricultural altar in the palace, but in the spring of this year, why didn't the queen consider taking the wives from Chang'an to Luoyang and complete the sacrifice in the Luoyang Palace?"

Empress Wu frowned: "What does it mean to go to Luoyang Palace to worship?" It's just a sacrifice, why do you have to go so far? ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "The important thing is not the result, but the process. Queen Luan drove away, the light car was simple, and the wives set off mightily, how many subjects watched along the way? The pious appearance of the queen praying for the farmers of the world must also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, right? ”

After all, Empress Wu is very smart, and immediately understood the deep meaning, and her phoenix eyes flashed with joy.

"So, do you mean that this palace led the women from Chang'an all the way to Luoyang, showing the prestige of the heavenly family, and making people feel awe of me, the queen?"

Li Qinzai sighed: "If it is so easy to boost the prestige of the queen, presumably the queen does not need the help of the ministers...... The honor guard travel is just an appearance, and the queen has a lot to do. ”

"This way, the queen needs to visit some poor villages more, you dress modestly, see more of those poor people, and it is better to shed a few tears of sympathy......"

"When I arrived in Luoyang, after sacrificing to the agricultural altar, the most important thing came......

"The queen saw so many poor families along the way, seeing them struggling for food and clothing, how could she not be related to each other? Therefore, the queen immediately decided to set up a charity hall and use your private money to fill the charity hall, the purpose of which is to help those poor families. ”

"This charity hall will be opened all year round, and it is not limited to Guanzhong, it will be slowly expanded in the future, and more and more will be done, queen, think about it, if you really do this, will your prestige among the government and the opposition become greater and greater?"
