Today, after experiencing Shangguan Tingzhi's participation in the impeachment of the Jiangnan Wang clan and the occupation of land in the Golden Palace, Li Zhi's mood could not be said to be happy or angry, but he felt deeply tired.

After Li Qinzai entered the hall, he saw his calm and lazy appearance, in fact, Li Zhizhen felt very tired, so tired that he didn't want to talk, and he was so tired that he didn't want to talk about business.

The external troubles have not been eliminated, the internal worries have risen again, the war in front is in full swing, the soldiers are fighting bravely for the Tang Dynasty, and the customary window paper in the rear court hall has been pierced, and the world has been turned upside down.

At today's court meeting, Shangguan Tingzhi made a generous statement, directly denouncing the disadvantages of the enclosure of the powerful family, which caused the court to be shocked and quarreled.

As the son of the Tang Dynasty, is Li Zhi tired?

Of course I'm tired, if I change Li Qinzai as the son of heaven, I'm afraid that I won't be able to abdicate for a few days, it's a bad thing inside and out, the queen of the harem is still so strong, and I have to look at her face if I am a beautiful woman.

So, where is the happiness of being an emperor?

Looking at Li Zhi's tired look, Li Qinzai said with interest: "Your Majesty is very tired, it is better to rest well, and the minister will come back tomorrow." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand: "Can you hide today, can you hide tomorrow?" ”

Sighing, Li Zhi said, "Jing Chu is here for Shangguan Tingzhi's business, right?" ”

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "Yes." ”

Li Zhi snorted and said, "Shangguan Tingzhi's son is your disciple, and the disciple's family is in trouble, so it is understandable to be a teacher when he enters the palace to ask." ”

Immediately, Li Zhi's tone paused, and he said, "Jing Chu thinks it's wrong for me to deal with Shangguan's father and son today?" ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "There is nothing wrong, Your Majesty is even very tolerant." ”

Li Zhi smiled: "It seems that Jing Chu understands me, Shangguan Tingzhi is middle-aged, but he is still a scholarly and naïve, if I don't exile him by the court's decree today, I just have to wait a few days, and Shangguan Tingzhi's fate will be more than just exile." ”

Li Qinzai said in a low voice: "The minister can see that His Majesty is actually protecting the Shangguan family. ”

"Yes, I'm protecting him, but I hope this is the end of it."

Li Zhi said with a gloomy expression: "Land annexation, there have been signs since the last years of Zhenguan, do you really think that I am blind and deaf?" ”

"It's just that it's too difficult to deal with this matter, so difficult that I can't even think about it, I wish others didn't mention a word in front of me, I will be confused in this life, and this trouble will be left to the next emperor......"

Li Qinzai smiled: "Your Majesty's words...... With all due respect, he is more naïve than Shangguan Tingzhi. ”

Li Zhi sighed and said: "Actually, I don't dare to face it, because it's too troublesome, and there are too many people and things involved. ”

Li Zhi said and suddenly stared at Li Qinzai's eyes, and said, "Jing Chu thinks that Shangguan Tingzhi's performance today is right or wrong?" ”

Li Qinzai thought about it seriously and said, "Things are done right, but ...... The timing was wrong. ”

A smile appeared in Li Zhi's eyes: "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Of course, it is right to participate in the impeachment of the powerful family and annex the land, because the Manchu Dynasty knows that Shangguan Tingzhi did not frame, did not reverse black and white, and every word he said is the truth......"

"But...... Facts are facts, he should never have said it at this time. Sometimes the timing is not right, and even the right thing to say becomes a big mistake. ”

"Now the focus of the imperial court is on the battle of the Eastern Crusade, and the court and the court and ministers perform their duties to ensure the logistics of the Eastern Expedition soldiers to ensure the logistics of food and grass, baggage, ordnance, horses and troop replenishment...... When the monarch and the ministers are united, they can't allow other things to come out and disrupt the rhythm of the court. ”

"The most important chess piece of the century-old strategy has fallen, and the winner is the winner, but at this time, Shangguan Tingzhi suddenly mentioned the annexation of the land in Jiangnan and Huainan, which really disrupted the deployment of the imperial court, and to put it seriously, it would even cause civil strife in the Tang Dynasty."

"Therefore, Shangguan's father and son should be exiled, Your Majesty must interrupt this sign of civil strife in time, and continue to pull the rhythm of the imperial court back to the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade, for today's Datang, nothing is more important than the acquisition of the Haidong Peninsula."

Li Zhi laughed: "Those who know me, Jing Chu also." Yes, that's what I thought, so I couldn't wait for the dynasty to disperse today, so I immediately issued an order to exile Shangguan Tingzhi. ”

With a smile gradually fading, Li Zhi snorted coldly: "Everything has priorities, in the eyes of others, Shangguan Tingzhi is a great loyal minister who speaks out, but in my eyes, he is a big fool!" ”

"He thought that if he didn't mention it, I wouldn't know about the land annexation? Am I so mediocre? The great situation of the Eastern Expedition was ahead, and the Duke of Zu Ying saw that he was about to destroy the Silla Kingdom, and at this juncture, Shangguan Tingzhi came out and had to pierce the window paper of the land annexation, heh, stupid! ”

"What does he want me to do? According to his intentions, I should immediately issue an order to thoroughly investigate the evidence of the crime of annexing land by the powerful families of Huainan in Jiangnan, and it is best to arrest a large number of officials and magnates and kill a group of family lords to set an example, and he will be satisfied with this. ”

"If I govern the world like him, I will already be the king of the dead country, and like Emperor Yang of Sui, I will be overthrown by the joint forces of the world's family lords in less than a year."

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly.

In this matter, he really agrees with Li Zhi.

does not deny Shangguan Tingzhi's full of justice, but this is really not how he governs the country, he is not called governing the country, it is called happiness and enmity, and the world has to be black and white, and the balance in the world will inevitably be broken.

When the matter was said, Li Qinzai had no worries.

After a moment of silence, Li Qinzai said in a low voice: "Shangguan father and son were exiled to Qiongzhou, are they leaving tomorrow?" ”

Li Zhi glanced at him and said, "Yes, I'll leave tomorrow." ”

Li Qinzai's face was worried: "The minister is worried about ......"

Li Zhi continued: "Worried that Shangguan's father and son will not be able to go to Qiongzhou? ”

Li Qinzai nodded.

In fact, Li Zhi knew everything, and he knew very well that Shangguan Tingzhi's performance had caused a catastrophe, and it was a catastrophe of killing the family and destroying the family.

According to the usual procedure, the exiled officials were escorted by only two or three officials, and when they arrived at the land, the officials handed over the people and left.

But Shangguan Tingzhi stabbed the hornet's nest, I don't know how many enemies he has made, and on the way to exile in Qiongzhou, I am afraid it will not be so safe and smooth, and it is estimated that there are countless assassins waiting for their lives on the way.

Li Zhi frowned: "The exile in Qiongzhou is my explanation to the courtiers, and this fate is not easy." ”

"But I really can't bear Shangguan's father and son...... Alas, stupidity is a little stupid, after all, it is rare to be a loyal minister. ”

Shaking his head, Li Zhi lowered his voice and said, "I should not mobilize the Praetorian Guards, I am afraid that it will attract people's ears and eyes, is there anyone there at the beginning of the Jingchu?" ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "If Your Majesty is relieved, the minister is willing to share your worries for Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi's expression returned to indifference, sat up straight and said lightly: "If there is a mistake, I will not admit it." ”

"The minister doesn't recognize it."

Li Zhi looked like he had just woken up from a dream: "Hey, what were we talking about just now?" ”

Li Qinzai said: "I'm talking about beef, Your Majesty, the minister just got the news that there was a cow on the minister's Zhuangzi for some reason, and he died in shame and anger......

"What did your farmer do to the cows?"

"Probably milking a bull like a cow......"

Li Zhi nodded clearly: "Shi Ke can be killed, but it is not humiliating, and he should indeed hit the pillar with his full name...... Will fresh beef be delivered tomorrow? ”

"Minister's promise!"
