Chapter 326: Middle-aged couple, left hand touching right hand
Li Zhi was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was held in Li Shimin's hand since he was a child, and he hardly suffered any pain.
In Li Qinzai's view, he was more like a wealthy and wealthy young man with fine clothes and fine food. The difference was that this wealthy young man had no dandy habits, but was very concerned about the sufferings of the people.
A truly competent emperor will treat the people of the world as his own private property and will not allow his property to be violated.
Using troops abroad is like spending money. You must be stingy and cautious, because every penny spent means a penny lost. In disaster years, it is like unplanned expenditure. You must save money by cutting back on food and clothing.
Li Qinzai was sent to Bingzhou because Li Zhi found that his private property had been violated and someone was stealing his money, so he had to find the thief.
If you understand it this way, the emperor is actually a small social creature who lives a tight life.
"Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in Bingzhou. I have ordered the officers of the Ningshuo Governor's Office to dig ditches and build reservoirs. If there is another severe drought in the coming year, it should not affect the harvest too much," Li Qinzai reported: "The grain merchants in Bingzhou are driving up the price of grain. I am
We have also dealt with it, and with the support of powerful people behind the grain merchants, I have captured them all."
Li Zhi nodded: "I have read your memorial, and I have also read the confessions of the prisoners. You have done a good job. You should question such worms. If these people are handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial, I am afraid that a few of the leaders will be killed.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to appease the people."
Li Zhi had murderous intent in his eyes.
Li Qinzai said again: "Your Majesty, there are still some of their people in the Chang'an court. It is inconvenient for me to overstep my bounds. Please make your decision."
Li Zhi said without hesitation: "I have ordered the Punishment Department to capture them all. In the year of great disaster, we will do our best to eliminate evil. If we show mercy, we will give those moths the illusion that they will not pay the price for taking advantage of the natural disaster to make money."
Li Qinzai said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise and your people are blessed."
After a pause, Li Qinzai said again: "Taiyuan Wang family..."
Li Zhi was startled, then showed a troubled look, and sighed: "Wang... you can't move without permission. Going too far may cause instability in Jinzhong... Just catch the small ones and magnify them. Wang Xingchen can't move, but I will issue an edict to severely reprimand him."
I will also take this opportunity to kill off some of the disciples and followers of the Wang family in the court."
Li Qinzai nodded understandingly. He was not like Liu Rengui, who had a moral obsession. Ruling a country was very complicated. You didn't just have to arrest bad people when you saw them. Sometimes you knew you were a bad person, but due to various concerns or your own value, you couldn't arrest them, but you had to support them instead.
This life is still long, he and Li Zhi are still young, and the game with the aristocratic family will not be won or lost in one round.
After talking about the business, Li Zhi suddenly looked a little embarrassed and lowered his voice and said: "Well, about the Korean lady... I thank you very much."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I did it conveniently, Your Majesty, you don't need to thank me."
Seeing Li Zhi's embarrassed look, Li Qinzai couldn't help but asked curiously: "Has your Majesty met the Korean lady?"
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, she came back with her mother. She went into the palace to talk to the queen for a while and then left. I don't know what the mother and daughter said. I heard that they all shed tears and their eyes were red and swollen...
"
Li Qinzai thought about it and guessed that Empress Wu might have temporarily given up on her murderous intentions towards Mrs. Korea. After all, her mother had come forward to mediate and reconcile, so Empress Wu still had to be wary after all.
It's just that Li Qinzai violated Empress Wu's wishes and let the Korean lady go in Bingzhou. I wonder if she will have any suspicion against him.
There was nothing Li Qinzai could do if he really had a problem. He acted with his heart and had a clear conscience.
With a casual glance, Li Qinzai noticed that Li Zhi looked sad and was shocked: "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Li Zhi said quietly: "Mrs. Korea returned to Chang'an and entered the palace to see the queen, but she didn't see me. Doesn't she know how much I miss her..."
Li Qinzai said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, she and the Queen are biological sisters. She must avoid suspicion after all. Otherwise, if she flirts with you in front of the Queen, how can the Pope's relationship be embarrassed?"
Li Zhi sighed: "I just want to see her, there is no need to flirt..."
Li Qinzai hummed, saying it so innocently, but he dared to bet that after Li Zhi saw her, he wouldn't turn into a little teddy and strip her naked on the spot.
Such nonsense as "just meeting" is like a scumbag promising to only hang out outside. Whoever believes it will get pregnant.
"Your Majesty...it's better to be more affectionate with the Queen." Li Qinzai advised in a low voice.
He was not interested in the relationship between the Tian family couple, but as a friend, Li Qinzai couldn't help but pass on some of his experiences as a human being to Li Zhi.
If the mother-in-law at home is well fed, she will not be too passive when she goes out to steal sex. Even if the mother-in-law is discovered, she will not be murderous.
If you fail to feed your mother-in-law and your precious billions of descendants are given to outsiders, your mother-in-law must of course get rid of them quickly. Especially if you marry a very powerful and not so kind mother-in-law, you must think twice before handing over your billions of descendants.
, unless you are really just hanging out.
The Korean lady was able to save her life thanks to the fact that she and Empress Wu were biological sisters. If Li Zhi had used another woman to cheat on her, Empress Wu would not treat her as a merciful person.
Li Qinzai persuaded her very tactfully, and he wisely did not mention the fact that Empress Wu wanted to kill the Korean lady.
But Li Zhi obviously did not accept his advice. Instead, he showed a desolate look and suddenly stretched out his left hand, covered his right hand, and kept rubbing it up and down.
"Jingchu, do you think this... would make me feel happy?" Li Zhi asked slowly.
Li Qinzai stared at his left and right hands, shaking his head in confusion.
Li Zhi put his hand on his butt again and kept rubbing it.
"If this happens, will the chicken move?" Li Zhi asked again.
The action was a bit obscene, but Li Qinzai understood it, sighed, and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, use your hands to attack your lower body, which will probably make you happy."
Li Zhi was shocked and looked up at the sky, his expression becoming increasingly lonely and sad.
How desolate it is for a majestic emperor with countless beauties in his harem to be reduced to self-reliance.
Li Qinzai couldn't persuade him anymore. This was the current situation of middle-aged couples. What could he, an outsider, say?
In later generations, when society is open, there are still uniforms such as maids, nurses, and flight attendants to spice up the boring pleasures in the house, but what about this life?
Will writing the three characters "Goguryeo" on Empress Wu's butt arouse Li Zhi's desire to conquer?
His own father also conquered Goguryeo. Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't it?
…………
He said goodbye and left the palace, leaving Li Zhi alone in the palace to feel sorry for himself, but Li Qinzai could not sympathize with him.
After all, he is still young and newly married, and has never experienced the misery of middle-aged couples.
After leaving the palace, I got on the carriage and soon arrived in front of the British Duke's residence.
Butler Wu had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw Li Qinzai's carriage stopped, Butler Wu rushed over and helped Li Qinzai out of the carriage diligently.
"Fifth Young Master has worked hard all the way. Being an official outside is not as good as being at home. I feel so sad to see you lose weight when I see you..."
Li Qinzai laughed and winked at him: "I'm not angry this time, am I?"
Butler Wu smiled and said: "How can you? The Fifth Young Master is a noble man, and noble men will not get angry easily."
While following Li Qinzai, Butler Wu dusted off Li Qinzai's clothes and suddenly said: "Fifth Young Master hasn't returned to Chang'an yet, but the Korean lady has sent someone to give you a heavy gift. She said it was for you, but my husband pushed me away." Rejected."
Li Qinzai paused for a moment, then smiled and continued walking forward.
