When Li Qinzai led his troops across Chang'an, intending to seek revenge from the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Zhi's attitude in the Tai Chi Palace was very unclear.
Ordinarily, as the emperor, you must first be impartial and selfless. You must stop Li Qinzai at all costs before he makes things worse. Otherwise, the consequences will be unmanageable and it will not be good for Li Qinzai.
However, the targets of Li Qinzai's revenge were the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. These members of the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River were now unscrupulously occupying fertile land in the local area, causing harm to the people and endangering the Tianjia's local rule.
In other words, the prominent Jiangnan families were actually Li Zhi's enemies. If Li Qinzai went to seek revenge on Li Zhi's enemies, the balance in Li Zhi's heart would naturally tilt infinitely towards Li Qinzai.
So when he heard that Li Qinzai was taking people to take revenge, Li Zhi was indeed very angry, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that he was not angry at Li Qinzai, but at the Jiangnan prominent family for bullying others too much.
Li Zhi was even slightly happy with Li Qinzai's behavior.
How wonderful it would be if I were not the emperor, and I could be as happy with my grudges as Jing Chu was, and do whatever I say.
What is even more enviable is that the mother-in-law can marry as many as she wants and sleep with whomever she wants.
Your life, my dream...
Seeing Li Zhi's expression change and being silent for a long time, Song Sen in the hall was gradually surprised.
No way, no way, you don’t really intend to connive at Duke Li to make things worse, do you?
The prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River are indeed bullying others too much, but the imperial court's control over Jiangnan and Huainan cannot be separated from the support of these prominent families. The matter has been made big today, what should we do in the future?
"Your Majesty... Duke Li is heading straight to the Gu family's residence in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone is almost here. Does your Majesty have any orders?" Song Sen urged carefully.
Li Zhi hummed, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, he pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "Did Jingchu lead the troops to seek revenge alone?"
"yes."
Li Zhi clicked his tongue and said: "I didn't know how to arrange a back-up before starting something..."
"What?" Song Sen was stunned.
Li Zhi ignored him and was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Can Su Jie be in the palace?"
Song Sen continued to be stunned, wondering why the emperor suddenly mentioned Li Sujie. What does this matter have to do with His Highness King Xun?
But Song Sen still said honestly: "In the palace, there are not only His Royal Highness King Xi, but also His Royal Highness the King of England, and the two princesses of Xuancheng and Yiyang. According to Duke Li's instructions, they study and review in the side hall of the front palace every day.
, at least three hours a day.”
Li Zhi snorted and said: "Sir, when there is a problem, none of these disciples stepped forward. They are all unfilial and unjust..."
Song Sen tried to make up for what Li Zhi said: "Well, the incident happened suddenly. I'm afraid the princes and princesses haven't received the news yet."
Li Zhi curled his lips and said, "Then let them know the news."
Song Sen was inexplicably surprised and looked at Li Zhi with a puzzled expression.
Li Zhi, however, did not want to say another word, and just waved his hand to signal Song Sen to retreat.
Song Sen can be the governor of Yongzhou, Baiqisi, and his IQ is certainly not bad.
After carefully sipping Li Zhi's words, Song Sen's eyes lit up and he seemed to understand something, so he resigned from the palace and went straight to the side hall of the front palace.
…………
In the side hall of the front palace, Li Sujie tried hard to reach her back with both hands, grimacing in pain.
Behind her stood Princess Yiyang, smiling maliciously and holding a whip in her hand.
Li Qinzai had completely left the matter of corporal punishment to Yiyang. Whenever a disciple did not study seriously, Yiyang would give him a whip, and he would show no mercy even to the imperial brother Li Sujie.
The whip is the Shangfang sword in Yiyang's hand, which can be whipped by Mr. Li's disciples.
Just now, Li Sujie was severely whipped for being distracted in class, but Li Sujie dared not speak out in anger.
Because the thing in Yiyang's hand is not only a whip, but also represents Mr. Li's authority. Who among the disciples dares to disobey?
"Yiyang, brother and sister actually committed such a vicious attack, can't you show some mercy?" Li Sujie glared at her dissatisfied.
Yiyang Qiong wrinkled her nose, raised the whip in her hand, and said with a proud smile: "Brother Emperor, if you are not convinced, why not try again?"
Li Sujie swallowed her anger and turned her head, muttering bitterly to herself: "You wait, a gentleman will take revenge, ten years... Oh, I'm afraid ten years is not enough..."
Yiyang's academic performance is not very good, but she has been studying martial arts with Lao Wei from Ganjingzhuang for two or three years. Now there is also Lao Wei Sancheng who has taught him the truth. She can't beat him, really can't beat him.
At this time, a figure hurriedly entered the hall. Li Sujie took a look and immediately sneered: "Song Sen? What are you doing here?"
After Song Sen entered the palace, he first saluted the princes and princesses, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Highnesses, it's bad, something happened to Duke Li!"
Everyone's expressions changed dramatically, and they stood up at the same time.
An hour later, Song Sen clearly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
Li Sujie slammed the table angrily: "A prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River dares to insult our husband! How dare you!"
Even Xuancheng, who had the most gentle temper, frowned deeply, with anger on his pretty face.
Song Sen took a step back expressionlessly and said no more.
He had already told what happened, and there was no need for him to say anything else. He believed that the princes and princesses knew how to do it. The emperor deliberately let them know the news, and of course he also knew what his princes would do.
Sure enough, the angry Li Sujie quickly exchanged glances with King Li Xian of England, and the two nodded silently.
"Under the Emperor's feet, Jiang Nanxiao was actually bullied and refused to agree!" Li Sujie said angrily.
Li Xian also said in a deep voice: "Today I want to let the Jiangnan rats know what their surname is in this world!"
"Let's go, summon the imperial guards, and send someone to tell Xue Na, Gao Qi, Wu Minzhi, Xu Yanbo and others that someone dares to insult the master in Chang'an City. I'm tired of living!" Li Sujie gritted his teeth.
Princess Xuancheng said calmly at this time: "The eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River all have mansions in Chang'an City, and they are located in different houses. You send people to inform Xue Ne and the others. I will send people to find out the locations of the mansions of the eight prominent families. With a stick of incense,
Time will bring results.”
"Now that Sir has led his people to the Gu family's residence in Wu County, we have rounded up the remaining seven prominent families. You will act separately, and I will be in the middle to report news from everywhere at any time and keep an eye on each other."
After everyone quickly discussed the matter, they immediately left the palace.
Song Sen was still standing in the hall, with a smile on his lips.
The disciples of Duke Li are not simple characters, and Princess Xuancheng, who is usually gentle and gentle, is not a fuel-saving lamp. Looking at her calm and composed appearance just now, she is like a general with a heavy army.
The princes and princesses have all taken action, so what should Baiqisi do?
Song Sen closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about Li Zhi's attitude just now.
After a long time, Song Sen opened his eyes. Well, it was confirmed that the emperor's attitude this time was also to severely punish the prominent families in Jiangnan.
In this case, Baiqisi naturally wanted to share the emperor's worries.
The matters of fighting the war are left to the princes and princesses, and as for the direction of public opinion in Chang'an City, Baiqisi is responsible for it.
This time, not only will the Jiangnan noble family be severely beaten, but their reputation will also be ruined.
