After dealing with the affairs of the Servant Gu Luo tribe, Li Zhi waved his wide robe sleeves and said: "I heard that nine times out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory, Ashina Helu can escape, this is also the will of heaven."

Since the general manager of the march of my Gongyue Road is effective in fighting and diligent in his work, although there are some deviations in his work, there are still some results after all.

This time I forgave him, and ordered him to study behind closed doors for three months as an example. ”

Cheng Biting Jin went out to the emperor to give a salute to Liang Jianfang and thank him for his grace.

"Your Majesty let a man with a short personality and a basket of big characters not know a basket of rammers read, this punishment is the most appropriate, but the old minister suggested that there should be an additional article, no alcohol should be drunk when studying, otherwise, Your Majesty's hard work will be in vain."

When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and then the ministers also laughed.

After the ministers finished laughing, Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Duke Lu, don't torture that old thief who is addicted to alcohol, otherwise, he will cry in front of me, and I can't stand his crying." ”

There was laughter and laughter in the court, and everyone thought that today's court meeting would come to an end in the atmosphere of the monarch and the ministers: at that time, the eldest grandson Wuji came out of class with a wat board, and after bowing to the emperor slightly, he said: "The court is where the foundation of my Tang Dynasty is located, and the majesty comes out, how can I laugh on the spot regardless of the court."

And you shouldn't take the humerus ministers of the court as the object of ridicule.

If there are courtiers who make mistakes in the future, His Majesty will just laugh at them and stop here, which will damage the majesty of the court in the long run.

Liang Jianfang, the general manager of the march of Gongyue Road, was unclear and had an improper strategy, which damaged the two big cities of Khotan, and this matter must not be easily revealed. ”

Cheng Yanjin rolled his triangular eyes, and said coldly: "Duke Zhao, you can't just criticize the generals who lead the troops everywhere just because you presided over the revision of the "Tang Law Discussion", can you say that if you don't do this, it seems that Zhao Gong's revised "Tang Law Discussion" will be useless?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Cheng Yanjin and said, "The leading general? Most of you here are leading generals, which is not uncommon in my Tang Dynasty at all.

If the generals who lead the troops make mistakes and gently expose them, this will only increase their arrogance.

His Majesty is merciful by nature, and he has always been lenient to his courtiers, which is the luck of his courtiers.

Please Your Majesty severely punish Liang Jianfang, the person who spoiled me and did a great thing, Your Majesty is not worthy of half a point of mercy and preferential treatment. ”

In the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, even Li Zhi did not want to have a dispute with him, so he smiled bitterly and said to the secretary: "Proposed order, Liang Jianfang, the general manager of the march of Gongyue Road, acted inconsiderately, resulting in the loss of more than half of the soldiers and horses in the three military states, and the disaster in two cities, the crime is unforgivable. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji saw that the secretary had written his will, he looked at Xu Jingzong under the door of the Chinese book and said, "Use the seal." ”

Xu Jingzong looked up at Li Zhi, and when he saw that the emperor was silent, he took the will and bowed to Li Zhi and said, "The subordinates will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Li Zhi nodded.

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "Your Majesty has issued an edict, Liang Jianfang is hard to escape, what else is there to discuss?" ”

Xu Jingzong said slowly: "The door has its own charter. ”

Just when the eldest grandson Wuji was about to reprimand Xu Jingzong, Huangmen hurriedly went to the hall with a wooden box in his hand, and presented the wooden box on Li Zhi's table by the hand of the waiter.

He said in a low voice: "Master Xuanzang's disciple Peep Ji sent it, and said that when the Master copied the scriptures, a maple leaf fell into the ink pool, and the mage picked up the leaves and found that this leaf was bright red like fire on one side and black as ink on the other. ”

Li Zhi picked up the maple leaf from the wooden box, turned it slightly, and said with a smile: "Zen is deep, come here, retreat!" ”

Anyway, regardless of the important ministers who stayed in the court, they left the court in a hurry with a maple leaf in one hand.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the back of Li Zhi leaving in a hurry, and hit the ivory wat board with his left palm and said, "How can you be so stubborn!" ”

With that, he waved his sleeves and left.

Li Zhi hurriedly stepped on the chariot, and ordered to move forward without waiting to sit down, and after a while, the carriage came to the Chengqing Palace.

Li Zhi jumped out of the carriage, making the attendant who followed him worried, and before he had time to complain, he raised his leg and kicked the eunuch next to him in the calf, and immediately shouted and chased Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, slow down, slow down."

Li Zhi ignored it, and didn't bother to pay attention to the eunuchs and palace maids who hurriedly came out, hurriedly bypassed the corridor, and went straight to the small flower pond behind.

It's November, the chrysanthemums in the small flower pond are in full swing, just in a golden chrysanthemum, a plump woman is lying on the brocade couch, the autumn sun falls on her face, the original fair face is smeared with a layer of honey.

Li Zhi saw that the woman seemed to be sleeping, so he lightened his steps and tiptoed over.

I wanted to kiss the woman's plump lips, but I saw a pair of dark eyes looking at him with a smile.

Li Zhi coughed embarrassedly, and raised the maple leaf before he was about to speak, but the woman raised her head and kissed Li Zhi's mouth like a dragonfly.

Then he took Li Zhi's empty left hand and put it on his towering belly and whispered: "Our child knew that His Majesty was coming, and he deliberately kicked me and asked me to meet him." ”

Li Zhi felt the rhythm of the fetus in the woman's womb, so he gently put down the maple leaf in his hand and smiled at the woman: "Mei Niang, this should be a dragon fetus." ”

Wu Meiniang raised her face and looked at Li Zhi with a smile: "This should be a dragon fetus, if not, wouldn't it be a disappointment to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

Li Zhi put his face on Wu Mei's face and whispered, "Only here can I feel a moment of peace. ”

Wu Mei left Li Zhi's embrace, holding the already big and terrifying pregnant belly with both hands and chuckled: "People, if you have been idle for a long time, you will miss the busy days before, and when you are busy, you are looking forward to the leisure time, I really don't know, what everyone in the world wants." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "You can't escape the word fame and fortune in the hustle and bustle, let's not talk about this today, you take a look at this maple leaf first." ”

Wu Mei twisted the maple leaf with two fingers like green onions, turned it slightly, and asked Li Zhi.

"Where did this leaf come from?"

"From Master Xuanzang's inkpool."

"Does the mage feel anything?"

"He said, congratulations to Your Majesty, but I don't know where the joy comes from, Mei Niang, you have always been smart, it is better to solve this mystery for me."

Wu Mei heard the emperor say this, but put down the maple leaf in his hand and said: "What Master Xuanzang said is to congratulate His Majesty, just to convey his mood at that time, he may have sensed that someone or something has happened in favor of the Tang Dynasty, and this maple leaf is just a thing that causes him to feel."

Now that His Majesty has been congratulated by Master Xuanzang, this ink-stained maple leaf is worthless. ”

With that, let go and let the breeze take away the maple leaf.

Li Zhi looked at the red leaves that fell on the golden chrysanthemum and said, "Even if it is worthless, it is something sent by Master Xuanzang, and it cannot be discarded."

If it is useless, Master Xuanzang will not send someone to send me over. ”

Wu Mei came to Li Zhi, stretched out a snow-white index finger and pointed at Li Zhi's nose and said, "There is no better way to buy and return the pearl than Your Majesty." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Wu Mei pointed the tip of his nose with his finger, but Li Zhi was not angry, but wanted to open his mouth to bite this finger, Wu Mei seemed to know the emperor's thoughts, and the finger was withdrawn quickly, allowing Li Zhi to bite an empty bite.

"Master Xuanzang sent someone to send red leaves over this time, which is to prepare for the next time he sends red leaves.

If a great monk like Master Xuanzang can take precautions for a certain person and a certain thing, then it can be expected that the matter of pleading with His Majesty will be extremely tricky at that time, and His Majesty will definitely fall into a dilemma.

Since it is such a difficult thing, why does His Majesty keep this red leaf as evidence?

Your Majesty is the Majesty of the people of the world, and only the people of the world have always begged Your Majesty, and I have never heard of the need for Your Majesty to ask the people of the world.

The imperial power is in hand, the thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, and the first hand is in His Majesty, not Xuanzang.

Discarding and forgetting early is the best choice for His Majesty to do at this time, and it is also in line with the requirements of Buddhism not to stick to cause and effect. ”

Li Zhi said with a sigh: "If this is the case, if it is true, I almost fell for Master Xuanzang." ”

Wu Mei said with a smile: "In fact, it is okay to go to Master Xuanzang occasionally, since Master Xuanzang dares to lay down the cause, he has to bear the effect, and sometimes, a small cause can also bear big fruit." It depends on whether Master Xuanzang is willing to accept it. ”

Li Zhi flicked Wu Mei's towering belly and said proudly: "At the beginning, I only planted a small cause in Ganye Temple, but now I have obtained such a big fruit, you say, is this a blessing or a bad fate?" ”

Wu Mei smiled: "This is the evil fate of the concubine, but it is the blessing of Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said: "At today's court meeting, I was about to mention the canonization of you as Zhaoyi, but as a result, I made Li Yifu make a start, and I was reprimanded by Chu Suiliang on the spot.

This old guy relied on being the minister of the first emperor to be alone, and now he is becoming more and more unreasonable and arrogant, and he is actually in charge of things in my harem. ”

A trace of displeasure flashed in Wu Mei's phoenix eyes, but she immediately changed to a look of indifference, took Li Zhi's hand and put it on her face, and said with a full sense of happiness: "My Langjun is by my side, my child is in the womb, and the concubine body is already satisfied, so I don't ask for it." ”

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "But there is a chance that this old dog will regret it." ”

Wu Mei shook her head and said: "Although this old dog is an eyesore now, he is still quite capable of maintaining the Tang Dynasty.

Your Majesty is still young, and there is time for them to disappear naturally, and there is no need to risk the world's disapproval for a trivial matter of being a concubine. ”

Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then bear with it first, and wait for them to make mistakes......"
