Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 57
When the angel came out of the palace gate and came outside the British government residence, the whole family was alarmed.

Even Li Ji didn't expect that the emperor would summon Li Qinzai suddenly. Of course he knew that the reason for the emperor's summoning of Li Qinzai was probably because of the pulley block. When he was secretly happy, he couldn't help worrying.

This bastard boy has always been out of shape. Although he has changed a lot of his bad temper recently, the problem of being out of shape seems to be getting worse.

Mr. Mian has strict court etiquette. If his unscrupulous appearance is disrespectful in front of the emperor and angers the emperor, not only will he not be rewarded when he turns around, he may even be charged with disrespect.

Both happy and worried, the old grandfather broke his heart.

The decisive old general on the battlefield, at this moment, is like an ordinary old man, telling his grandson non-stop, from the posture of walking into the palace gate, to the etiquette of paying homage when meeting the emperor, everything is trivial, non-stop .

Li Qinzai listened to Li Ji's ten thousand instructions, and let the servant girl to dress him in a hurry, his mind was buzzing, Li Ji's instructions entered from the left ear, and accidentally flowed out from the right ear.

The carriage brought Li Qinzai to the outside of the Taiji Palace. Li Qinzai got off the carriage and stood in front of the palace gate, looking up at the towering palace wall, his mind still confused like a paste.

My head hurts so much, and I was force-feeded by Li Jiyi with a lot of court etiquette. At this moment, my mind is full of "rectify first and then suppress", "suppress and then worship", "raise the forehead and salute", "go in a hurry" No chaos" or something, very profound.

The emperor summoned, and the emperor and his ministers played against each other.

For the subjects of Datang, this is a great honor.Only very capable courtiers can be summoned by the emperor alone to play the right. This is a form in which the emperor condescends to ask the courtiers for advice on governing the country and the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that the son of heaven is right, almost equivalent to being a Jinshi in the examination, and its degree of glory can be recorded in the family tree and passed on to future generations.

But Li Qinzai was a different kind. From the time he heard the eunuch's decree to the moment he stood in front of the palace gate, there was no ripple in his heart, let alone excitement.

Quiet as a pervert, steady as an old dog.

Deeply influenced by the materialist worldview in his previous life, Li Qinzai knew that the Son of Heaven was not the son of God, and Li Zhi was just a mortal with flesh and blood. .

Thinking about it this way, um, what's the excitement?The only thing he admits is that his reincarnation skills are really high-strength, and he can't accept that.

After standing in front of the palace gate for a while, Li Qinzai quickly sorted out his emotions.

Just like reporting work to the boss in the current life, if you disagree with each other, you will be criticized at most. If you really lose your head because of your lack of manners...

That means that the Son of Heaven has long wanted to kill you, and it has nothing to do with the emperor's disrespect. Stepping into the door with your left foot is a serious crime of beheading.

The palace gate opened a thread, and an eunuch came out and led Li Qinzai into the palace.

Along the way, Li Qinzai silently recited the details of the etiquette, and Li Qinzai had no intention of admiring the scenery of Tai Chi Palace.

Taiji Palace Liangyi Hall.

The Hall of Liangyi belongs to the forbidden area of ​​the palace, and only a few favored courtiers are allowed to enter to discuss government affairs with the emperor.

Li Zhi chose to summon Li Qinzai in Liangyi Hall today, which shows that he attaches great importance to him. Of course, there is also a sense of showing his kindness to Li Ji.

According to the eunuch's instructions, Li Qinzai stood still outside the Hall of Liangyi, and the eunuch entered to report, and it was not long before Li Qinzai was announced in the hall to see him.

Li Qinzai kept in mind the etiquette details Li Ji instructed, first took off his shoes outside the hall, and put on his full clothes to enter the hall.

When entering the hall, first adjust your clothes and look solemn, then bow your head respectfully, stand still at ten steps, and bow in a respectful manner.

"Minister, Li Qinzai pays homage to the Son of Heaven."

A hearty laugh came from ahead: "Li Qing is exempt from courtesy, haha, after all, he is the grandson of the Duke of England. Even if the Minister of Rites came to this ceremony, he couldn't fault it at all."

Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up.

Looking straight ahead, he saw Li Zhi wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, sitting at the head of the hall.Surprisingly, Empress Wu, who was inseparable from him, was not by his side at this time.

The last time the soldiers were counted on the school field, Li Qinzai didn't have enough seats, so he could only watch Li Zhi from a distance, but this time he saw clearly.

Li Zhinian was in his thirties, the golden age of a man in his prime, with a wisp of green beard under his jaw, his complexion was slightly pale, but his facial expression was very friendly.

Li Qinzai secretly speculated that even if Li Zhi was not the emperor, he might be willing to make friends with him just because of his smiling face all the time.

Because of the meaning expressed by his expression, people can't help but be willing to confided with him, just like a confidant for many years, no matter how ridiculous your words are, he will smile, listen to you quietly, and then give it seriously You offer advice.

There are not only Li Zhi and Li Qinzai in the hall, but also a civil servant wearing a scarlet robe. The civil servant sits quietly behind a low table on the side of the hall. The table is covered with paper. The pen in the other hand is hanging high, ready to write at any time.

Li Qinzai was a little surprised.

What battle is this?Is the civil servant going to write evidence in court?
Seeing Li Qinzai's surprised expression, Li Zhi explained thoughtfully: "Don't panic, Li Qing, this is the scholar of Zhongshu. Today, you and my monarch and ministers are right. Sheren will record it on paper and pen, and keep it in the palace for future generations to comment on." .”

Li Qinzai was not nervous at first, but knowing that every word he said next would become a testimony that will be passed down through the ages, he couldn't help becoming really nervous.

If this is a wrong sentence, should Zhongshu Sheren draw a circle on the paper and delete it, or write it down meticulously?
In case Li Qin is talking about it, he drives a car in front of Li Zhi and tells a nasty joke...

Tsk, what a shame, the kind that has been ashamed for thousands of years.

"Be serious, be serious, you must be serious..." Li Qinzai's lips twitched, warning himself in a low voice.

After half a day of psychological training, Li Qinzai's mood gradually settled down.

The scene is a bit big, but fortunately, everything is still under his control.

In the huge Yinyi Hall, the three monarchs and ministers each occupy one side, separated by a long distance, and every word they say echoes.

Li Zhi saw Li Qinzai's uneasiness, and couldn't help laughing: "Li Qing, hurry up, I'm just chatting with you casually today, don't care about my identity, I'm ten years older than you, it's okay if you treat me as your elder brother .”

Li Qinzai twitched the corner of his mouth.

Oh, you call this scene "casual chat"?Is this how your family chats?

Li Zhi also realized that the distance between the monarch and his subjects was not suitable for "casual chatting", so he raised his voice and ordered the eunuch to enter and set up a low table in the middle of the hall.

Li Zhi walked down first, sat behind the low table in the hall, smiled and waved to Li Qinzai, motioning him to sit down too.

Li Qinzai was also polite, and immediately took a few steps forward, kneeling and sitting on the other side of the low table, the two of them sat across the table, and now they were very close to Li Zhi.

Seeing this, the Zhongshusheren next to him suddenly turned solemn, and then began to write quickly.

Li Qinzai felt very itchy. He was really curious about what Zhongshu Sheren wrote on the paper. You started doing reading comprehension questions before the match between the monarch and his ministers started?
I am a little worried for no reason, what should I do if this guy makes a wrong question?With the pen in his hand, if he talks nonsense, who will beat him to death?
If you write something like "Shangshan, call Li Qinzai to sit down, Li Qinzai is shameless, actually sat down"... and other stupid words, should Li Qinzai beat him up in advance?
After all, it is something to pass on to future generations, and it is related to my reputation in a thousand years.Today's Li Qinzai is setting up the character of "The Prodigal Son Turns Back".

The meaning of the prodigal son's turning back is that he may have been a bit of a jerk before, but he will definitely be a saint who can't fault him in the future.

Li Qinzai didn't know why, but his thoughts were not on Li Zhi, but instead he paid special attention to the Zhongshusheren who was writing silently and writing quickly.

Li Zhi looked at him with a smile, and saw that he kept looking towards Zhongshusheren. Li Zhi was a little curious, and just about to ask, Li Qinzai suddenly spoke.

"Hey, that Sheren, what did you write? Are you scolding me?" Li Qinzai asked with narrowed eyes.

Not only Li Zhi was stunned, but even Zhongshu Sheren, who was writing vigorously, was also stunned.

Stopped writing and looked at Li Qinzai in astonishment, Sheren was stunned for a while before blurting out: "No..."

Li Qinzai was relieved, but he still didn't forget to say harsh words: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll go find out where you live when I turn around..."

Zhongshusheren was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was threatened nakedly in front of the Tianzi steps?

Then Zhongshusheren became angry, his face turned red quickly, but because of the impertinence of the emperor, he took a deep breath and forced himself to hold back his anger.

Li Zhi remained in a daze until Li Qinzai finished speaking, and Li Zhi burst out laughing.

It was hard to stop laughing, and Li Zhi laughed so hard that he couldn't help himself, his sitting posture was swaying, and he had no emperor's demeanor.

Li Qinzai looked at him expressionlessly.

is it funny?Where is the joke?

If the person in the house really meticulously recorded the details of the performance of the monarch and his ministers, he would probably write several pages of "hahahahahahaha" here, and he would be scolded and flooded by later historians.

This is probably the funniest match between the emperor and his ministers in history.

I don't know how long it took before Li Zhi stopped laughing, raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from his laughter, and panted slightly: "I only heard that Chang'an Li Jingchu has been a jerk for many years, but I have never heard of it. The fifth young man of the Li family is also a wonderful person. I really mean it." I should have known you sooner."

Li Qinzai said earnestly: "Your Majesty, I am no longer an asshole."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, it is true that you are not an asshole anymore, but your words and deeds still reveal a taste of the past, but it's no problem, the big ones are not bad, and the small ones are also a pillar."

"No one is perfect, and I have all the talented people in the world, but they can be used by the country, so why stick to the profit and loss of the minutiae."

Li Qinzai said dryly, "Your Majesty is wise."

Li Zhi said with a smile: "God arm bow, horseshoe, and pulley block, you have created such miraculous three things in more than a month, is it a result of accumulation or sudden enlightenment?"

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the truth.

From the meeting to the present, Li Qinzai can see that the history books' evaluation of Li Zhi is not biased. He is indeed a benevolent and righteous king with a broad mind.

He has the air of an emperor and the majesty of the emperor, but he will not act rashly anytime and anywhere. Most of the time he is a benevolent and tolerant king. His affinity is a very important personality charm in him.

Li Qinzai was silent for a moment, and said: "I dare not deceive the emperor, Your Majesty forgives the crime."

Li Healing became interested: "I never offend anyone because of my words, you can say whatever you want."

"I first made the god arm bow to get rid of crimes," Li Qinzai glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "At that time, I lost the white jade flying horse bestowed by the late emperor, and I was about to flee to Lingnan, so I had to make the god bow as soon as possible. Arm bow, in order to make meritorious deeds."

Li Zhi laughed and said: "When your grandfather entered the palace to present the bow of the divine arm, I understood somewhat."

"Later, when I made the horseshoe, His Majesty was there at that time. At that time, it was really just a flash of inspiration, and then I said casually, thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the horseshoe was actually made, and I also did my little for Datang."
