Shangguan Tingzhi died relatively early in history, and Li Qinzai basically didn’t understand this figure.
In real history, Shangguan Yi instigated Li Zhi to depose the Empress, while Shangguan Tingzhi was responsible for writing the edict to abolish the Empress.
As it turned out, Empress Wu's aura was too strong. When Feng Mu asked, Li Zhi responded honestly and said that Shangguan Yi was behind the instigation.
At that time, Empress Wu was already in a state of affairs, and Shangguan Yi and his son were killed immediately.
Therefore, in real history, the father and son of the Shangguan family died from Li Zhi's back stabbing.
Now that Li Qinzai exists, the trajectory of history has changed.
Shangguan Yi lived peacefully until he reached retirement age. If Shangguan Tingzhi, a member of Zhongshushe, did not commit suicide, the Shangguan family would still have some resources in the court.
Li Qinzai really didn't know that Shangguan Tingzhi was such a righteous person.
He stabbed the most dangerous and powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty with a knife. This knife did not hurt the enemy's skin, but it had a tragic feeling like Don Quixote fighting a windmill with a spear.
Of course, in the eyes of the courtiers and dignitaries who no longer distinguish between black and white, Shangguan Tingzhi's behavior was very ridiculous.
All the rich and powerful families in the world are busy enclosing and occupying land. Are you tired of your life by jumping out to scold them?
Since ancient times, there has been no coexistence between good and evil, because they are completely unable to understand and agree with each other's values.
Shangguan Tingzhi said, if no one is willing to stand up and make this first voice, then I will.
A word that shakes the deafened and enlightens the mind, and the heaven and the earth remain depressed for a long time.
Li Qinzai stared at his face. This was the first time he looked squarely at the eldest son of the Shangguan family.
The evaluation of this man in the history books is only mentioned in one sentence. He was just a sidekick who drafted the edict for the abolition of the emperor. It was as if his only mission in life was to draft that edict. After the edict was written, the mission was completed, and life and death were no longer of concern.
But the Shangguan Tingzhi in front of Li Qinzai was a living person, with flesh and blood, and an untimely sense of justice.
Should he admire or sympathize? Li Qinzai had no emotion.
If someone else has done something that he cannot do, then he has no qualifications to judge whether he is right or wrong, because at least he is a brave man who faces the sword and halberd alone.
Not knowing what Shangguan Tingzhi would do next, Li Qinzai guessed that it must be a big move that would shock both the government and the public.
Li Qinzai only remembered his promise.
"Brother Shangguan, no matter what the current situation is, I will protect Shangguan Kun'er and Shangguan Wan'er!" Li Qinzai said in a low tone: "As long as I, Li Qinzai, live, I will not allow anyone to bully these brothers and sisters."
Shangguan Tingzhi bowed his head and said: "With the promise of the wise brother Jingchu, the foolish brother can go!"
…………
Li Qinzai stayed up all night and felt very heavy.
Sitting in the yard, he quietly looked at the stars and moon all night, his expression calm and he didn't know what he was thinking.
In the middle of the night, a fox fur cloak was quietly draped over his shoulders. Li Qinzai suddenly turned his head and found that it was Jin Dayan, and he was immediately surprised.
Jin Dayan still looked indifferent and said: "Although spring has begun, the dew in the night is heavy and the cold air invades your body. Your body has only recovered from serious injuries. Do you want to relapse?"
Li Qinzai tightened the cloak on his shoulders, and a fragrant and warm touch spread into the palm of his hand.
"The goddess doctor hasn't fallen asleep yet. Is it because the business is so good that she is too happy to fall asleep?" Li Qinzai hid his worries and showed a familiar smile.
Jin Dayan snorted and said: "If there is no disease in the world, it is the greatest blessing for medical practitioners. Only with compassion in your heart and hanging a pot to help the world can you be compassionate."
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "He is indeed a miracle doctor. Not only is his medical skills superb, but his medical ethics are even better. I have heard a saying that 'I wish that people in the world would not be sick, I would rather use medicine to make people sick'. It seems that really famous doctors are all
He is compassionate."
Jin Dayan's eyes lit up, and she murmured: "'I wish that no one in the world would be sick, I would rather take medicine to make dust'... What a poem! It's exactly what we doctors want to say. Is it written by Duke Li?"
Li Qinzai shook his head and said with a smile: "It was written by a poet named Wang Fanzhi, a figure in the late Sui Dynasty who is probably still alive today."
Jin Dayan nodded: "I will ask a craftsman to engrave a plaque on this poem and hang it in my hospital as a reminder for self-examination."
After a pause, Jin Dayan cast her clear eyes at him and whispered: "Mr. Li is worried and can't sleep peacefully?"
Li Qinzai's face darkened, he was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I was just wondering if it would be too selfish for a person to only seek stability and wealth for himself and his family."
"But this person has no big ambitions in the first place. His nature is to be content with the status quo and not make progress. If you force him to be so great, how can he adapt to this role?"
"With the addition of official title, wealth, and wealth, my position is already very high, but when I look back, my original intention when I set out was just to spend my life in peace with my mother-in-law and my children, guarding the ancestral property. Even if I accidentally earn a few merits, it will still be nothing.
Just think of it as a life-saving talisman in times of crisis..."
"When did I start to have so many responsibilities and ties? It seems that if I don't do a few great things now, I will be sorry to the people of the world..."
"I don't owe anything to the people of the world, why should I do this?"
"Those brave fools, let them go if they want to die, who did I offend whom? Why do I feel that when I see those fools charging alone, I feel despicable and cowardly, not as pure and noble as others..."
Li Qinzai suddenly became excited, pointed a finger at the dark night sky, and said angrily: "You are all good people, but I am just a selfish villain. Why don't you just do good deeds quietly? You must let me know what you are doing."
What? Are you trying to arouse my shame? Ugh!"
"I only live for myself! I only live for my mother-in-law and children! That's it!"
Jin Dayan looked at the uncontrollably excited Li Qinzai, her autumn eyes filled with brilliance and restraint.
After a long time, after Li Qinzai's mood calmed down a little, Jin Dayan whispered: "Mr. Li..."
"What are you doing?" Li Qinzai's tone was very harsh.
Jin Dayan pursed her lips and smiled softly: "You are a good person."
"What the hell..." Li Qinzai was furious: "Who the hell allowed you to give me a good guy card? Take it back!"
The two sat quietly in the yard until dawn.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about. The relationship between Li Qinzai and Kim Dayeon can be a doctor-patient relationship, or a relationship between giving and receiving kindness. However, Li Qinzai has always felt that apart from these two relationships, he and she may even be considered friends.
Not on.
At daybreak, Butler Wu suddenly ran over in a hurry, with a nervous look on his face.
"Fifth Young Master, at the court meeting this morning, Shangguan Tingzhi broke the news!"
Li Qinzai's expression showed no surprise and he said calmly: "Continue talking."
Butler Wu wiped his sweat and sighed: "This morning, just after the court meeting at Taiji Palace, Shangguan Tingzhi handed over a memorial to the Golden Palace, impeaching the officials and dignitaries of Jiangnan and Huainan provinces for encircling tens of thousands of hectares of farmland, causing the two provinces to have hundreds of thousands of hectares of land.
Farmers lost their land and became refugees..."
"What's even more terrible is that Shangguan Tingzhi listed the officials and dignitaries who occupied the land one by one. The first ones to bear the brunt were the Gu family of Wujun, the Yu family of Kuaiji and other eight prominent families in Jiangdong."
