If you lick the dog until the end, you may not get anything, maybe you will get everything.
Li Qinzai and Prince Teng both came to lick someone tonight, with different objects and different purposes.
After entering the heavily guarded backyard, the eunuch in the courtyard entered the house to report and led the two people in.
Li Zhi and Empress Wu were chatting about business in the room. Li Qinzai's cement and his advice today inspired Li Zhi and Empress Wu a lot, and the couple were discussing the feasibility.
Many seemingly impossible decrees will eventually bear fruit as long as the emperor is determined to implement them, elevate them to the level of national policy, and carry them out for many years.
The First Emperor of Qin built the Qin Road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan County, which is still spreading quietly in Guanzhong. Why couldn't the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty fail to do what the First Emperor could do?
What's more, with cement, you can get twice the result with half the effort. If you can connect the roads in various prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty, the benefits will be huge and unimaginable by the monarchs and ministers.
The couple were discussing, and when the eunuch reported that Li Qinzai and Prince Teng were asking for an audience, Li Zhi frowned.
It was normal for Li Qinzai to ask for an audience, but why did King Teng come?
This imperial uncle became a feudal lord without going to Hongzhou. He kept traveling around and stayed in Chang'an, which Li Zhi disliked very much.
Holding back his displeasure, Li Zhi still summoned Li Qinzai and Prince Teng.
The two entered the house quickly. After the emperor and his ministers greeted each other, Li Zhi ignored King Teng and said to Li Qinzai with a smile: "Does Jingchu still have unfinished words?"
Li Qinzai coughed and said: "I didn't mean that. I was bored in my free time these days. I tried to improve the formula of the Zhuyan Cream. After being adjusted by Chen, the Zhuyan Cream can whiten and moisturize the skin. It can be used for a long time. It achieves the effect of Tianshan Child Mother...well, rejuvenation."
Li Zhi looked at him in astonishment.
Empress Wu's eyes rolled up, she covered her mouth and giggled.
"Jingchu took all the trouble, but is it dedicated to me?" Empress Wu said with a smile.
Li Qinzai hurriedly offered the facial cream with both hands, showing a rare look of welcome.
"If the queen uses the improved beauty cream carefully prepared by me, she will be as beautiful as a girl, with skin as young and tender as a baby, comparable to the Qin Emperor's elixir of immortality, and her youth will be restored like a southern pine, and her appearance will remain as bright as the bright moon. Your Majesty is very fond of the queen. I am fascinated and obsessed with dreams. From now on, the king will not go to court..."
A string of flattery came out of his mouth like a barrage of flattery. King Teng was stunned and stunned, Empress Wu giggled with joy, but Li Zhi's cheek twitched violently several times.
Damn, if you offer the beauty cream, do it well. What's the point of bringing me out as a supporting role?
Moreover, these words are used in all kinds of tiger and wolf terms, especially the last sentence "From now on the king will not go to court", it sounds like a faint king, flattering the queen but stepping on the emperor's kick, so fucking Is it human language?
Prince Teng on the side couldn't help but turn blue when he heard Li Qinzai's flattery. He wanted to vomit but did not dare to vomit. His eyes looking at Li Qinzai were full of contempt.
The sycophantic minister's flattering and flattering expression is particularly disgusting, bah!
Among the people present, Empress Wu was the happiest. She didn't care whether the improved facial cream was exaggerated or not, but Li Qinzai's string of flattery really hit her right spot, making her elated.
Li Zhi took a deep breath and looked at Prince Teng.
"What is Uncle Teng doing here?"
King Teng was excited and immediately bowed and said: "I heard that the Holy Lord has a broad mind and can accommodate the sea. Through this, the late Emperor Taizong won the heart of the world and conquered the world. His virtue was praised by the people. All nations came to court and praised him both internally and externally. Therefore, there are foreign countries. The lords of foreign countries are all honored by the title of 'Khan of Heaven'..."
"My emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, and his broad-mindedness is no less than that of the late Emperor Taizong. He has inherited the legacy of Zhenguan and ushered in the prosperous age of the new dynasty. He has the image of a saintly king, and is praised by both the government and the public. From ancient times to the present, you are the only one who has been honored by your majesty."
Li Zhi's eyes were dull after hearing this, and Empress Wu also stared at Prince Teng in surprise.
This guy is no less flattering than Li Qinzai. What on earth does he want to do?
Li Qinzai's face was livid at this time and he wanted to vomit but did not dare to vomit.
It's so shameless, such disgusting flattery, how could he have the nerve to say it?
Li Zhi sighed and said, "Uncle Prince Teng, what exactly do you want to do?"
Prince Teng blinked hard and squeezed out two tears.
"I was wild and immoral, stupid and ignorant, and made big mistakes back then. Now I have changed my ways. Thinking about all the misfortunes back then, I am even more heartbroken and regretful."
"Your Majesty, I am already middle-aged, but I am always on the road. I am either being demoted... or being demoted. I... I really can't be demoted anymore!"
"I just ask for your Majesty's mercy and allow me to rest in peace in Chang'an for the rest of my life. I will definitely not make any mistakes again. I just want to return to my roots after this life. Your Majesty is not inferior to the late emperor in mind. Please grant this small request to your Majesty."
The people in the room suddenly realized that they had been preparing for this for a long time.
Li Zhi frowned: "Uncle Prince Teng, the court has the laws of the court. The vassal king must surrender to the vassal, and I cannot be selfish. Otherwise, if the court officials participate in the impeachment, how can I serve the world and cover up your mouth?"
Prince Teng's old face fell, and he said pitifully: "Your Majesty, Chang'an is the place where I was born. I just want to spend the rest of my life in Chang'an. I have changed my ways. Please forgive me for my mistakes in the past and let me live here forever. .”
Li Zhi rubbed his temples with a headache and sighed: "Uncle Prince Teng, I am not unreasonable. It is really hard to violate the law. Although I am the emperor, I cannot do whatever I want."
With his face getting colder, Li Zhi said indifferently: "After staying in Chang'an to rest for a few days, Uncle Teng should go to Hongzhou. Don't embarrass me. If there is any discussion between the government and the public, I will hold him accountable."
Prince Teng slumped down in confusion, endured his disappointment and saluted, "Yes, I obey your decree."
Li Qinzai glanced at the lost Prince Teng and wanted to say something, but he still kept his mouth shut.
He only dared to intervene in the Tian family's housework when he got tired of it. Li Qinzai remembered the fate of those arrogant courtiers throughout the ages.
When Li Zhi saw Prince Teng's expression of despair as if he had lost his soul, he felt a little unbearable in his heart.
Don't wait to see him again, don't wait to see him again, Li Zhi's character is still very kind after all.
Sighing, Li Zhi waved and said: "Uncle Prince Teng, come with me for a walk in the yard."
Prince Teng stood up and stepped aside. When Li Zhi walked out of the door, he followed him respectfully.
Li Qinzai and Empress Wu were left in the room.
Empress Wu glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Tell me, Jingchu is flattering you today and offering her beauty cream. What is your intention? This is not like your usual behavior."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I am purely out of loyalty. I just want to dedicate the good things in the world to the emperor and the empress. I have no other intention."
Empress Wu snorted and said: "You really don't have any other intentions? Then you can resign, I want to take a rest."
Li Qinzai said hurriedly: "I violated the queen's wishes when I merged the states. Today I am asking the queen for forgiveness. It is not my fault. It is in full view of the public. It is really difficult for me to do this."
Empress Wu's eyes narrowed, and her tone became a little cold: "Jing Chu must know about your Majesty and the Korean lady?"
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched and he lowered his head and dared not speak.
Empress Wu sneered: "You help His Majesty cherish the beauty but ignore my wishes. You are really a good minister of His Majesty."
