The court is a place where monarch and ministers cooperate and confront each other.
The courtiers were not always obedient to the emperor. That was a situation that only occurred under the enslavement system of the Manchu Dynasty.
The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were more like cooperation in a relatively harmonious atmosphere, but cooperation was not necessarily pleasant, and quarrels would also occur when political opinions differed.
It is not a heinous fault for the courtiers to oppose the emperor's decision. It is a normal phenomenon. The emperor rarely kills people because of political disagreements. If a precedent is set, he will never escape the label of "faint king" or "tyrant".
This was the case for Li Zhi at this time. Although most civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were against it, Li Zhi was so angry that he was trembling all over. Even so, Li Zhi never thought of killing someone to silence him.
Unable to kill and scold, he had no choice but to squat in the harem and drag Li Qinzai to drink and complain.
The emperor takes it like this, but actually...it's pretty good.
In a dynasty, the emperor cannot do whatever he wants. No matter how bad the dynasty is, it will not get any worse. Only when the subjects put reins on power can power not turn into a man-eating beast.
Li Zhi was already a little drunk, his cheeks were red and his eyes were drunk.
"Jingchu, I must do this. It is not only a matter of great achievements, but also related to my majesty. If I compromise this time, there will be more and more compromises in the future. Only by arguing with reason can the imperial power be restored."
Manifest.”
Li Qinzai sighed and said with a wry smile: "The whole court is against it, what will your Majesty do?"
Li Zhi pointed at him: "I plan to leave it to you!"
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched.
When he was summoned by Li Zhi, he already had a premonition that this matter would eventually happen to him.
Who could tell that this idea came from him?
This is not the first time Li Qinzai has shot himself in the foot.
The person who raised the problem must solve it. This is the retribution of being a talkative.
It's strange that when he first traveled through time, Li Qinzai's mouth was a bit bitchy, but it wasn't to this level.
"Your Majesty means..."
Li Zhidao: "No matter what method I use, I can calm down the opposing courtiers and allow the national policy to be implemented smoothly."
Li Qinzai was startled: "'Even' means... kill them? For the job of killing, Chen's grandfather is more suitable..."
Li Zhi rolled his eyes at him: "If I want to kill someone, do I still need you? 'Settlement' means that those who oppose road construction and shipbuilding must finally agree and stop opposing me."
"You were granted the title of Permanent Attendant of Yousanqi. You were informed of political affairs. You were allowed to enter and leave the palace. You walked under Zhongshu's door and held the official seal of consultation."
Li Qinzai was slightly surprised and remained silent for a long time.
Sanqi Changshi belongs to Zhongshu Province, and his official rank is from the third rank. Although he is a little smaller than Shangshu Shilang, his power is not small, especially since Li Zhi also added a "participant in political affairs" after Li Zhi, the weight is heavy.
Theoretically, Li Qinzai had the right to screen and read the memorials sent to the three provinces by central and local officials. Only the memorials that he had screened would be sent to the left and right ministers.
Li Zhi suddenly granted him this official position, which is very meaningful.
At first he was made a military supervisor, a young supervisor, and later he was made a county son, then a county boss, and he was temporarily made a governor during the state grain case...
Li Qinzai finally saw that Li Zhi had planned and premeditated his move into the center of power step by step.
Li Qinzai said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I am just a teacher..."
Li Zhi smiled: "Jingchu's great talent will be of great use to the country. How stupid can I be to ignore the basics and only regard you as a teacher?"
Then Li Zhi sighed again: "The rule of Zhenguan was due to Fang Du. My Yonghui Longshuo also hopes that there will be a successor to help me manage the country and create a peaceful and prosperous age. Jingchu, I
I have high hopes for you, don’t let me down.”
Li Qinzai pursed his lips, bowed and said, "My lord, I am willing to do my best to assist Your Majesty."
…………
Even the emperor could not implement the national policy, and Li Qinzai certainly had no way to do it.
The monarch and his ministers were already seventy percent drunk after the banquet, so Li Qinzai resigned in a wise manner.
After walking out of Anren Hall, facing the cold wind, Li Qinzai took a breath of fresh air, and his drunken mind suddenly became clear.
Having reached this point, the battle in the court is inevitable.
If you enjoy the salary and benefits of being an official, you must pay the price of being sucked into the whirlpool.
After becoming an official, being granted a title, and expecting to return to a life like salted fish, God cannot allow you to take such a big advantage.
Li Qinzai, a regular attendant of Yousanqi... smiled, straightened his clothes, and walked slowly towards the palace gate.
Li Qinzai has no idea how to solve this problem.
But he planned to visit Xu Jingzong after leaving the palace.
From a modern management model, the boss only needs to take care of a few senior executives, and he can basically take care of the entire company.
The same applies to the court.
Once the two prime ministers are dealt with, it will be relatively easy to resolve the objections of the courtiers.
There is nothing wrong with this idea.
When he was about to reach Chengtian Gate, a group of people came towards Li Qinzai.
The group of people walked very fast, and the leader waved his hands as he walked, and impatiently scolded those in front of him to get out of the way.
When the group of people got closer, Li Qinzai discovered that they were a group of eunuchs. In the middle of the eunuchs was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Baina Taoist robe.
The Taoist priest's appearance is quite decent. At first glance, he is the protagonist who upholds justice for heaven. He has a wisp of green beard under his chin. The Taoist priest puts one hand behind his back and strokes his beard with the other hand. A look of arrogance flashes between his brows inadvertently.
Li Qinzai nodded, looking like an immortal. Regardless of whether he was capable or not, his appearance was pretty good.
This group of people walked across the Jinshui Bridge and got closer and closer to Li Qinzai. The leading eunuch was unfamiliar and did not recognize Li Qinzai. Seeing that he was wearing a crimson official robe and that he was only a fourth-rank official, the eunuch suddenly became emboldened.
He pointed at Li Qinzai and yelled at him, asking him to give way.
Li Qinzai smiled nonchalantly and stepped aside silently, letting them go first.
Although he is still in his prime of life, he has lived two lifetimes after all, and his mentality is no longer young. There is no need to compete with strangers for this kind of leisure. Those who become arrogant when they succeed usually do not end well, and they all die.
Very miserable.
I had just drank with Li Zhi and felt a little dizzy. Although Li Qinzai got out of the way, my steps accidentally stumbled.
Just as he was about to take two steps back, the group of eunuchs and Taoist priests arrived in front of him.
The leading eunuch reached out his hand rudely and pulled Li Qinzai aside.
Li Qinzai was caught off guard and was almost knocked over by him.
After finally regaining his balance, Li Qinzai took a deep breath and smiled nonchalantly, still not intending to meet them.
Unexpectedly, the eunuch didn't let him go. After pulling him, he spat at him viciously.
"Are you blind? How dare you stand in the way of Master Guo! If the master just draws a talisman, your whole family will not have an easy time!"
Li Qinzai frowned, these words were unpleasant to hear.
"I have given way to this chamberlain, so why should you speak so harshly?"
Seeing that he dared to talk back, the eunuch was stunned for a moment, then stopped and said angrily: "Who are you? What is your official position? Who allows you to enter and leave the forbidden palace?"
Li Qinzai sighed: "I'm trying to reason with you, what does it have to do with my official position? Do the truths spoken by people with high official positions be more palatable to my ears?"
The eunuch was furious: "How can the Forbidden Palace allow foreign ministers to act arrogantly! Do you want to live if you dare to ram into Zhenren Guo's car?"
Li Qinzai finally got angry and said coldly: "A thing that relies on human power can look like a human but can't speak human language?"
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then he rushed toward Li Qinzai like a chicken that had taken an anal swab for nucleic acid.
Li Qinzai's eyes darkened, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and without thinking, he raised his hand and slapped her away hard.
There was a crisp sound, and the eunuch was hit squarely on the cheek, and red marks from the five-finger slap suddenly appeared on his face.
The eunuch stared at him in disbelief, his ears ringing.
Li Qinzai didn't want to let him go, so he raised his leg and kicked him again, kicking the eunuch off the Jinshui Bridge.
With a splash, the eunuch fell into the water and splashed vigorously in the river under the Jinshui Bridge. The river water poured into his mouth, and he could not even say a word for help.
The group of eunuchs behind him looked at Li Qinzai in shock. They couldn't figure out where this young official in crimson official robes had the courage to beat the chamberlain in the palace.
After being stunned, the eunuchs hurriedly jumped off the Jinshui Bridge to save others.
The middle-aged Taoist priest who was surrounded finally changed his expression and looked at Li Qinzai in surprise.
Li Qinzai smiled politely at him: "This beast can't speak human language, I'll help him reborn as a human being."
