NOVEL SIMPLE Li Zhi, don't be a coward
Chapter 1426
Chapter 1426
"Come here" is indeed an irresistible reason, like a magic spell that can break any excuse for rejection in the world.
Li Qinzai, who was originally panicking about the early onset of mid-life crisis, actually sat opposite Li Zhi a moment later, pushing cups and changing cups.
There were all kinds of food and wine on the low table, all of which were high in uric acid, high blood fat and high blood sugar. Li Qinzai was eating and drinking with worry. After a while, as the wine got to his head, Li Qinzai suddenly found that he was no longer worried.
Sure enough, wine can relieve a thousand worries, including mid-life crises.
It has to be said that after the royal chef of Tai Chi Palace learned Li Qinzai's housekeeping cooking methods, his skills became more and more sophisticated.
The beef brisket stewed with radish and the stewed pig's trotters in front of him tasted very good. Li Qinzai felt that they tasted better than those made by himself.
You really can't use your own hobbies to challenge the professionalism of the imperial chef. If someone can stabilize the imperial chef's job, he does have some real ability.
Li Zhi is in a very good mood today. One is that Li Qinzai has returned to the capital. The two are both monarchs and ministers, and they are also friends. It is natural for them to meet old friends again.
Secondly, good news came from Jiangnan. The six prominent families were managed submissively by Li Qinzai, and everything was developing smoothly in the direction the imperial court hoped.
In particular, the issue of land annexation in Jiangnan has been greatly improved under Li Qinzai's handling. The court represented by Li Qinzai has also established its authority in Jiangnan this time, which is a good thing for the centralization of power in Chang'an.
To be able to do this job so perfectly, Li Qinzai really put his heart and effort into it. How could Li Zhi not be happy?
The monarch and his ministers drank together, and unknowingly they became a little drunk.
Li Zhi's eyes were a little erratic, and he burped from wine and said: "By the way, Jingchu, I received a report the day before yesterday that the Quanzhou Shipbuilding Department has built five large-scale ships with [-] materials and one large-scale ship with [-] materials. The Prefecture Shipbuilding Department has also built four or five large-scale ships. Sun Renshi's navy has expanded by nearly ten thousand people, and it is now almost ready..."
Li Qinzai was startled, put down his wine cup, and said slowly: "That is to say..."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "That is to say, our Tang Dynasty's naval fleet can set sail. Jingchu, I am very much looking forward to it now. I really want to see what the end of the sea you said is like... …”
"Are there really new grains there that can produce thousands of kilograms per acre? Are there really hot peppers that make you cry when you taste them? There are also various minerals, various new crops..."
"If the fleet can really bring them back to the Tang Dynasty, I can't even imagine how rich and powerful the Tang Dynasty will be in the future."
"Jingchu, tell me, can I see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with my own eyes in my lifetime?"
Li Qinzai was silent for a moment and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, your Majesty will definitely be able to see a prosperous age in his lifetime..."
His eyes gradually blurred, as if he had penetrated time and space, and lines of text from the history books of previous lives appeared in front of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, that was a truly prosperous age. Among the vast 5000-year history of China, only the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty shines brightest. Descendants 1000 years later are still proud of this prosperous age."
"According to the description in the history books, the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful. Our kings and generals are invincible in the world. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty leads the army and conquers all nations with virtue. Looking at the world, they are all vassals. All nations surrender and congratulate, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the government and the public are clear and wise. …”
"Countless literary giants and poets wrote immortal famous hymns for the prosperous times, and celebrated them with fine wine and sword dances. In the Tang Dynasty at that time, even the moonlight was exceptionally bright and peaceful."
"The warehouses are solid and you know the etiquette; the food and clothing are enough and you know the honor and disgrace. The prosperity of the times is praised by both the government and the public. The historians record it in the history of Qing Dynasty and cannot praise it enough. The swords and pens of Spring and Autumn cannot bear to find fault with it."
"During His Majesty's lifetime, it is very likely that what I just said will come true."
Li Zhi listened quietly to Li Qinzai's description of the prosperous times, his face flushed with excitement and his breathing became rapid.
"Can it really be realized when I am in power?" Li Zhi asked excitedly.
Li Qinzai nodded affirmatively: "It will happen, Your Majesty. The fleet is about to set sail to explore this unknown world. Your Majesty can't even imagine what huge dividends it will bring to our Tang Dynasty and our Chinese people."
"The Heavenly Khan is not only the Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty, but the Heavenly Khan of the entire world."
…………
When the monarch and his ministers meet, they are all in awe.
This time Li Zhi and Li Qinzai did not talk about government affairs. Everything Li Qinzai did in Jiangnan was written down in the memorial, so there is no need to talk about it anymore.Today, the king and his ministers conspired to get drunk together, and then they were indeed drunk.
The scene described by Li Qinzai was so beautiful that Li Zhi couldn't help but get drunk.
Li Qinzai, who was also a little drunk, tried to stay rational and said goodbye to Li Zhi and left the palace.
As soon as he stepped out of Anren Hall and turned around the jade steps of the corridor, he met Empress Wu head-on.
Empress Wu stood quietly at the corner of Anren Hall, looking at Li Qinzai calmly.
From the look of her, it seemed that she had not just arrived, but had been standing here for a long time.
Li Qinzai was startled and hurriedly tidied up his clothes to pay his respects.
Empress Wu waved her hand to show off her courtesy, and then looked at him with a smile.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, but Jingchu's eloquence has become even better."
Li Qinzai chuckled. As expected, this woman was eavesdropping outside the hall.She heard everything he said to Li Zhi just now.
Even though she is already a queen, she still can't change her sneaky ways. Fortunately, she didn't say anything bad about her in front of Li Zhi just now.
So Li Qinzai was a little surprised when he met Empress Wu, but not embarrassed at all.
Empress Wu turned around and looked at the undulating palaces of Tai Chi Palace, wondering what she was thinking.
She didn't say anything, and Li Qinzai was inconvenient to leave, so he had to stand behind her and give her space to be in a daze and pretend to be deep.
After a long time, Empress Wu suddenly said quietly: "Is the scene of the prosperous age that Jingchu just told His Majesty true?"
Li Qinzai was startled for a moment, then nodded: "It's true. In fact, the prosperous age is not far away now. As long as the land annexation problem is solved or alleviated in the Tang Dynasty, and as long as the new continent is discovered outside the country, the prosperous age will definitely come as promised."
Empress Wu sighed: "When the Tang Dynasty was founded, it experienced martial virtues, Zhenguan, and countless virtuous ministers and generals who dedicated their lives for the sake of the country. Only then did we have the 'Reign of Zhenguan' that is praised by the world. If the Tang Dynasty continues to develop, it can really create a prosperous age in the hands of today's Emperor. Your Majesty It is enough to be with me."
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "I would like to congratulate Your Majesty and the Queen in advance."
Empress Wu turned around and looked at him with a smile: "How can the creation of the prosperous age be without your contribution to Jingchu? Your Majesty and I have seen it, Jingchu, the Tang Dynasty has undergone such huge changes in these years, and Jingchu Your contribution is closely related, and in terms of merit, your merit is even higher than that of His Majesty."
Li Qinzai's expression changed and he hurriedly said: "The queen must not say this, I cannot afford it, I just want to die and live until old age..."
Empress Wu chuckled and rolled her eyes at him: "You are obviously very brave. Jiangnan and his party destroyed two prominent families in a row. Thousands of people raised their swords and dropped them without any ambiguity. Why are you pretending to be cowardly like a mouse when you fall down in front of me now?" ,Ah!"
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said: "Queen, your words are too heart-breaking. Who dares to have more merit than your Majesty in the prosperity of the country? I am not pretending, I am really afraid..."
Empress Wu snorted coldly, then turned around and looked at the undulating palaces of Tai Chi Palace. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
After a long time, Empress Wu suddenly sighed: "If the general trend is like this, if you go against the will of heaven, you will be punished by heaven..."
Li Qinzai looked at her puzzled.
Empress Wu smiled: "Jingchu, I have something on my mind. You have to help me."
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and a line of fraudulent information immediately popped into his mind: a middle-aged rich woman, asking for a child with a lot of money...
While she was thinking wildly, Empress Wu smiled sweetly and said: "Okay, Jingchu is drunk, go home and rest as soon as possible. Someone will tell you about my affairs. Whether to help or not depends on your feelings."
