Chapter 1233 The main concern is the humiliation of the ministers
It was obviously just a simple draft request, but when the ministers inexplicably added drama to it, things developed in a strange direction.
It would be so hard for the emperor to have a fierce wife in the harem.
When Empress Wang was in power, although the harem was in chaos and a group of concubines went crazy killing each other with knives, at least the emperor was happy and could copy whoever's sign he wanted, no matter how hard you beat your brains.
As a result, the Wu family came to power and unified the harem, so that the emperor would no longer favor other women. Even her biological sister and biological niece died and fled.
The emperor just favored your sister and niece, what's wrong with him?
So the vigorous joint petition for the draft gradually evolved into a group of men expressing sympathy and support for one man.
The courtiers were also worried about Li Zhi going in and out of bed.
On the fifth day of the meeting of the ministers, the news spread throughout Chang'an City. The common people were excited and recounted the emperor's scandalous rumors. The affairs between men and women fell into the mouths of the common people. Naturally, they became more and more excited as they talked about it.
Everything about the Tian family is too mysterious to the common people. It is impossible to test whether the dung fork used by the emperor is made of gold.
But there must be many women in the emperor's bed, and all of them are as beautiful as heavenly beings.
On the sixth day of the meeting, Liu Rengui, a moral gentleman, stood up and expressed his stance.
Colleagues are so enthusiastic, and it’s hard to reject their hospitality. How about you accept it, Your Majesty? There is no harm in choosing more concubines and giving birth to more princes to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Your Majesty reluctantly gave in and gave a slight smile.
hard?
The crowd in the court was excited and everyone was looking forward to it. The strange thing was that Li Zhi still had an ambiguous attitude and had not made a clear stance.
To be honest, the courtiers have never seen such a pretentious man in their lives, but he is the emperor. What can you do to him?
…………
While the courtiers were discussing in private, Li Zhi suddenly came to the British government incognito.
Li Zhi's arrival surprised Li Qinzai. At that time, he was teasing technician No. 8 in the backyard. Just as he was teasing the technician until he blushed and his heart beat, Butler Wu hurriedly came to report that the emperor had arrived.
Li Qinzai hurriedly adjusted his clothes and walked quickly out of the backyard.
He was about to ask his servants to open the middle door to welcome him, but when he walked to the front yard, he suddenly found that Li Zhi had already entered the door by himself, and was sitting in the front hall, with his legs crossed on the futon, and his chin in one hand.
Lost in trance.
Li Qinzai stood in the yard and twitched his lips.
In the whole world, there is nothing but the royal land.
He really didn't regard himself as an outsider.
Li Qinzai hurried into the front hall and saluted without saying anything.
"My regards..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi waved his hand lazily: "Okay, don't say goodbye. I'm bored today, so I went out of the palace incognito to relax and take a walk..."
Li Qinzai took a quick look at him, "Well, this bitter and resentful look doesn't look boring at all. There have been so many people looking for a wife for you recently, will you be bored?"
"I have not greeted you, your Majesty, please forgive me... Well, your Majesty's eyebrows seem to be worried. I don't know how to share your worries with your Majesty. Why don't you have a drink with your Majesty to relieve your worries?"
Li Zhi chuckled and glanced at him: "You still have the nerve to mention drinking... Jingchu, last time you and I drank together in the Tai Chi Palace, you left the Anren Palace alone and urinated all the way, and my Tai Chi Palace became a mess.
It’s your territory, why are you still drinking today?”
Li Qinzai's face turned red and he said in embarrassment: "I was drunk and disobeyed, and my crime deserves death..."
"Okay, I know you lost your way after drinking, so I'm not guilty. Let's not drink today. Otherwise, if I were drunk and peed all over your house, I'm afraid it would be rude..."
Li Qinzai laughed dryly: "Then don't drink. Drinking will cause trouble and harm your health. Alcohol is indeed not a good thing."
Seeing that Li Zhi was still frowning, Li Qinzai asked tentatively: "I don't know what worries your majesty. I want to relieve your majesty's worries. Why don't you tell me?"
Li Zhi sighed and said, "It's not because of the recent selection of ministers for the draft."
"Isn't this a good thing? His Majesty can choose from all the young and beautiful women in the world. Once he has chosen, he will put her into bed and beat her up. After that, he will kick her out and replace her with the next one... How beautiful."
Li Zhi suddenly showed a look of fascination and smacked his lips. Li Qinzai's words were obviously the dream of men all over the world. Li Zhi, who was the emperor, was not so sexually happy in the harem. The emperor's sexual relations had to depend on the face of the wife in the palace. The more
The more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel.
"Recently, more and more people have come to court. Xu Jingzong said that he could hardly bear the memorials from the courtiers and asked me to make a decision as soon as possible, but I can't make a decision yet..."
"Why?"
Li Zhi sighed: "I don't know the Queen's attitude yet. If she agrees with her mouth but objects in her heart, won't the newly selected woman into the palace become the second and third wife of Wei?"
"Your Majesty has already beaten her, how could she still dare to murder the concubine?"
Li Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "If a woman wants to kill another woman, there are many ways. She is the queen. Is it difficult to kill several concubines reasonably and legally?"
Li Qinzai nodded silently.
It's really not difficult. I've seen so many palace fighting movies in my previous life. There are all kinds of plots and shameful methods in them, and people can't find fault with murdering people's lives.
"So, His Majesty plans to refuse the draft?" Li Qinzai asked.
Li Zhi showed a look of reluctance and said bitterly: "There are so many young and beautiful women, how can I bear to refuse? If it were you, would you refuse?"
"Of course I will not refuse."
Li Qinzai still didn't say anything in his heart, for fear of hurting him.
——It is impossible for me to marry a strong wife and keep her at home.
Li Zhi expressed that he was very satisfied with Li Qinzai's answer and said slowly: "So, I came to see you today..."
Li Qinzai blinked: "Your Majesty just said that he went out of the palace to relax because he was bored, so he just took a walk..."
Li Zhi's face turned red: "After I saw you, I felt that only Jingchu could solve this situation."
"What does Your Majesty want me to do?"
Li Zhi coughed uncomfortably and said in a low voice: "There are many courtiers from Shangshu who asked for the draft, but they are humble and do not have enough weight. A few fourth- and fifth-grade petty officials shouted a few times, and I will
If you agree, it would be too ugly to eat."
Li Qinzai was still confused and said: "So?"
"So, when Shangshu asks for an imperial draft, a worthy minister needs to stand up, speak sincerely, cry like complaining, and beg me to accept a few more concubines, so that I can agree to it..."
Li Qinzai seemed to have suddenly become stupid, and still looked confused and said: "So, who should be this minister who stands up?"
Li Zhi was stagnant. He was usually very alert. Why was he so ungrateful today?
"I think a certain Liaodong County Duke who wishes to remain anonymous can take on this responsibility."
Li Qinzai blinked innocently: "This unnamed Liaodong County Duke is very timid. He is afraid that if he obeys His Majesty's wishes, he will offend the Queen and live in unrest for the rest of his life."
Li Zhihuan glared, and a strong aura of domination spurted out.
"With me here, what are you afraid of? The husband is the guide for his wife, and the heaven and earth are righteous. I can't control her?"
Li Qinzai stared at him dumbfounded.
Do you really want to hear what nonsense you just said?
If you are really so ambitious, you should be waving a small leather whip in the Tai Chi Palace right now to whip your mother-in-law, instead of sneaking up to my house and begging me to play drums.
