The princess comes and goes quickly, like a tornado of love.
Under the imperial power, there is really no excuse to explain Pei Juxian's behavior of seeking death. Seeking death is seeking death. It is useless to bring the lawsuit to Dali Temple. Li Qinzai's behavior is impeccable.
However, it is an indisputable fact that Li Qinzai offended the Hedong Pei family.
In this era, the imprint of a family on a person is very deep. Li Qinzai killed the Pei family and was the enemy of the Pei family. With his detached status as a princess, in order to stand up for his natal family, he had to go to the house to ask for an explanation without hesitation.
.
This is the obligation given to individuals by the family. No matter what your identity or official position is, you must stand up when the family is in trouble.
Most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty were elites. Throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty, most of the generals and ministers in the court were from aristocratic families. The families used their power to provide opportunities for the clansmen. After the clansmen became prosperous, they would use their own
Power feeds back into the family.
This is what is called clan politics.
Over hundreds of years of dynasty, power has been transferred back and forth in the hands of a small number of families. Even if the children of poor families have talents in the world, they can only look up in envy. After working hard for generations, they still cannot reach the sky.
Therefore, Li Zhi wanted to eliminate the family members, and Li Qinzai agreed very much in his heart.
The Crown Princess and the Pei clan returned home in defeat, but the matter was not over yet.
After the Crown Princess returned to the palace, she immediately met with Li Zhi.
Kneeling in front of Li Zhi, he burst into tears and said that before His Highness the Crown Prince's body was cold, there were traitors bullying the widow and killing the Crown Princess's uncle.
For the sake of the late prince Li Hong, Li Zhi could only comfort her with gentle words. In order to calm her anger, Li Zhi also specially rewarded Pei Juxian's widow with many gold and silver silks and gave her a house and land.
But the princess was still not satisfied.
The Pei family is not short of money or land at all. What she wants is not consolation rewards and houses. What she wants is for Li Qinzai to be severely punished.
Kneeling in front of Li Zhi and crying, the Crown Princess told the story of the sorrow and misery of the widow living alone after the death of the Crown Prince, and the words became more and more exaggerated, as if the Crown Princess had lived a difficult life after Li Hong's death, and outsiders could do whatever they wanted.
I can't live with the humiliation.
Li Zhi initially comforted her with gentle words, but after the princess cried endlessly, Li Zhi frowned and gradually became a little impatient.
Li Zhi had already known the cause and effect of Pei Juxian's murder. Under the circumstances, Li Qinzai's handling was correct.
No matter what your status or rank, you dare to break into the palace just because you are a relative of the prince. Don't the Tian family want to lose face? If you are making trouble in the East Palace at such a sensitive moment, who knows what you have in mind. There is no justice in not killing you.
The Crown Princess cried for a long time in order to win Li Zhi's sympathy and then severely punish Li Qinzai.
But she was obviously disappointed. The more she cried, the more impatient Li Zhi became, and his frown became deeper and deeper.
He rewarded this and that, but never mentioned punishing Li Qinzai, and Li Zhi's face became increasingly ugly.
The crying Crown Princess looked up inadvertently and found that Li Zhi's eyes were getting colder. The Crown Princess was horrified.
She finally realized the fact that Li Qinzai could not be brought down by her. The emperor was not confused. He knew the right and wrong and was not partial.
If she continues to cry, I'm afraid the emperor will have surgery on her. The prince recently passed away, and Li Zhi was already in a depressed mood. She also made him upset and angry. Even if he didn't punish her, he ordered her to be kicked into the temple and ordered to serve as the emperor.
The prince has been a monk for the rest of his life and she cannot stand such a life.
So the Crown Princess immediately shut up sensibly and knelt obediently in front of Li Zhi, not daring to say anything bad about Li Qinzai.
Even members of the royal family cannot shake the weight of the important ministers of the country.
The Crown Princess finally understood at this moment that she was her uncle and died in vain.
…………
Yang Hongwu, the minister of imperial censorship, once again appealed to Li Zhi, saying that in the past ten years or so since the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's harem had been empty and his heirs had not been prosperous.
If things go on like this, there are hidden dangers for the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the emperor is asked to allow a draft to select the daughters of aristocratic families in various states and counties to enrich the harem and multiply the Tian family.
Although Yang Hongwu was just a small minister, his background was not simple.
During the Sui Dynasty, there was a very famous powerful minister named Yang Su. His official title was Shangshu Ling, Crown Prince, Grand Master, and Situ. His power could be said to be at the pinnacle of human ministers.
Yang Hongwu is Yang Su's nephew.
Although he is the Minister of the Yushitai, to be honest, Yang Hongwu actually does not have much talent and his ability is quite lacking. However, he has one advantage, that is, he is humble and prudent, and he is simple and simple in his actions.
Moreover, Yang Hongwu was regarded as Empress Wu's mortal enemy. Ever since Li Zhi fell ill and Wu's descendants approved the memorial, Yang Hongwu had been at odds with Empress Wu, expressing his dissatisfaction with Empress Wu both in and out of words.
One time, Li Zhi asked him, "Why are the so-called talents promoted by you, the minister of government, all mediocre people?" Yang Hongwu replied calmly, "There is no way. I have a fierce wife at home who likes to dictate everything."
The people I promoted were all fierce wives.
There is nothing wrong with this statement on the surface, and it is also true. Yang Hongwu's family does have a fierce wife, Webster, who has a rather rough and fierce personality. Yang Hongwu is a younger brother who is bullied by his mother-in-law at home.
But when the emperor and his ministers were right, Yang Hongwu's words were a bit of a scolding of Sang and Huai.
I admit that I have a fierce wife in my family. At least it has not harmed the country and the people. What about your fierce wife? State affairs are so important, but you let a woman like you dictate what you do?
Yang Hongwu ridiculed Li Zhi in front of him and turned into a narrow-minded emperor. When the words fell, Yang Hongwu's head also matured on his neck and it was time to fall.
Fortunately, Li Zhi was broad-minded. Faced with the ridicule of his officials, he just smiled and did not hold grudges at all. Yang Hongwu was able to survive until now without any illness or disaster.
Now when Yang Hongwu mentioned the draft, needless to say, he was targeting Empress Wu.
I don’t know how Empress Wu offended him. Anyway, he just wanted to remove Empress Wu from the position of queen.
The Emperor is a man, a very normal man, with at least a little bit of Meng De's quirks.
If someone is crying and begging him to favor more women, a normal man will not refuse, and he will feel happy in his heart.
But appearances still need to be done. Li Zhi can't just accept the green light when someone mentions the draft, right? That's too shameless. Appearance is very important. When choosing a drinking companion at KTV, you have to fake it.
You have to make a decision before batching, let alone choosing a concubine.
Therefore, Li Zhi refused very righteously. I am a wise king and have worked hard to govern since I came to the throne. I am afraid that I will fail to live up to the great country entrusted to me by the late emperor.
Women and other things will only affect the speed of my drawing the sword. This is the end of the conversation. Don't say it again in the future.
I have only loved the queen in my life, and she is unyielding and can be learned from all the world.
