It doesn’t matter whether Qibi Heli’s “understood” is what Li Qinzai understood as “understood”. Li Qinzai thinks that it is not a bad thing for everyone to be beaten several times in their youth and youth.
At least after I truly become a man, every time I speak or do something, the scars on my body will remind me not to make mistakes.
Adults must be responsible in what they say and do. It is better to be beaten by relatives than slapped by strangers in society.
It just so happens that Qibi Zhen has been acting a bit arrogant in the school recently. Even if Qibi tried his best not to slap him, Li Qinzai would find some unfounded reason to slap him.
On the Taiji Palace, the bells of the Bell and Drum Towers rang, and the courtiers stood in line.
After a while, the palace door opened wide, the courtiers filed in, and the court meeting began.
Li Qinzai followed the team into the Tai Chi Hall. After waiting for a long time with the other ministers, Li Zhi, wearing a yellow robe and a twelve-pointed crown, entered the hall.
After the ministers saluted, Li Zhi sat quietly at the head of the table, waiting for the ministers to come out to discuss matters.
The atmosphere of today's court meeting was very strange. Li Zhi sat dryly in the hall and waited for a long time, but no one spoke.
Li Zhi looked around the palace, smiled and said: "You have nothing to report, could it be that the Tang Dynasty has achieved peace in the world, the country is rich and the people are strong, and there are no worries internally or externally?"
The crowd of courtiers in the palace suddenly let out some weird hums.
Obviously in such a strange atmosphere, some upright courtiers still expressed full ridicule at Li Zhi's words.
Li Qinzai dared to swear that Liu Rengui definitely had a part in these strange hums.
Don't ask why, just ask that Liu Rengui was the most upright among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
After all, Li Zhi had a broad mind and didn't mind the sarcasm in the palace. He still looked around at the ministers with a smile on his face.
The silence continued, and the ministers looked at each other. In fact, everyone knew that Li Qinzai's participation in the court meeting today was a face-to-face confrontation between the two forces.
Now that the battle formation has been set up, both the enemy and ourselves are present, but everyone is hesitant about who will step forward first and be the vanguard to attack the enemy first.
In the crowd, Right Chancellor Xu Jingzong had an expressionless face, but his old, cloudy eyes were moving around.
When his eyes fell on Li Yifu opposite him, Xu Jingzong was stunned.
He discovered something different in Li Yifu's eyes.
It was a look that temporarily shared the same goals with him.
Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu have never been the same person, and their respective backers are different.
Xu Jingzong was born in Tiance Mansion and was one of the famous eighteen Zhenguan bachelors. Among the other dozen bachelors, there were Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda and other celebrities. In other words, Xu Jingzong was
People who are equally famous as these.
If he hadn't laughed rudely for no reason at the funeral of Empress Changsun, and was severely copied by the courtiers, and Li Shimin was angry and refused to use it, otherwise Xu Jingzong would have been a candidate for the title of prime minister as early as the Zhenguan period.
Look, Li Qinzai was not the only bastard in the Tang Dynasty. When Xu Jingzong was a bastard, how was he worse than Li Qinzai?
As for Li Yifu, in his early years, he was just an official in the East Palace when Li Zhi was the crown prince. Later, he stood in the right position in the incident of deposing the king and establishing Wu, and decisively embraced the thick thighs of Empress Wu. Only then did Li Yifu reach his current prominent position.
The two have different origins and starting points. In terms of qualifications and background, Xu Jingzong is much better than Li Yifu, and Li Yifu has always been a staunch back-party member, which Xu Jingzong despises.
However, during today's court meeting, the two of them inadvertently looked at each other, and at the same time they showed a look of embarrassment.
After a thousand glances, both of them understood immediately.
Today it is not just Li Qinzai who is dealing with the aristocratic family, but the emperor and the queen are working together. I didn’t say, let’s make an alliance.
No one spoke in the hall for a long time, but the atmosphere became more and more solemn.
Many people's eyes gradually focused on Li Qinzai, with a look that wanted to eat him alive.
Li Qinzai stood in the courtroom unmoved. He looked at his nose and heart with an expressionless face. He seemed to be just an irrelevant bystander in the court meeting, calm and detached.
For a long time, when Li Zhi was getting impatient, the ministers started talking among themselves. Just when one of them was about to stand up and speak, Li Qinzai suddenly moved.
He first stood up from the court, saluted Li Zhi, and then said proudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Li Zhi was suddenly surprised, and the officials in the palace were also in an uproar.
In fact, everyone knows that today's court meeting is an offensive and defensive battle.
The attacking party is the aristocratic family forces. They have the strength in numbers and hold high the banner of "morality". They are unfavorable in every direction.
The defensive side was Li Qinzai. He was weak and fighting alone. Li Zhi was worried that he would not be able to cope with it, and even arranged allies for him.
Unexpectedly, the first one to stand up was the defensive side. Li Zhi was really surprised.
I can't control this anymore, the rhythm is messed up.
"You go back first..." Li Zhi blurted out, and then noticed that the officials had strange expressions. Li Zhi suddenly felt speechless and hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Li Qing, if you have anything to do, just report it."
Li Qinzai cleared his throat, raised his head and looked directly at Li Zhi, and said loudly: "I will consult Li Youdao, the young minister of Dali Temple!"
There was an uproar in the palace, and everyone looked at him in shock.
The discussion became louder and louder, and the solemn golden palace almost turned into a vegetable market. There were all kinds of chattering noises, and the ministers were whispering to each other and looking at Li Qinzai strangely.
In the crowd, Li Youdao, the young minister of Dali Temple, turned pale, and then turned white to red. Apparently he was angry out of fear and was extremely angry.
Li Zhi's expression was also extremely shocked. After a long time, Li Zhi said slowly: "Why did Li Qing participate in the impeachment of Li Youdao?"
Li Qinzai said sonorously and forcefully: "I have four sins when I consult Li Youdao."
"First, Li Youdao secretly ordered to spread rumors in Chang'an City to slander and slander the good reputation of the officials. This is a villain's behavior."
"Secondly, Li Youdao took advantage of the power of the aristocratic family, demanded fame from his ministers, and used this to install the children of the aristocratic family as officials, destroying the imperial examination system that His Majesty has been planning for many years. This is a heinous crime."
"Thirdly, Li Youdao failed to induce him, so he turned to coercion and killed thirteen horses at the entrance of Zhuangzi Village, where he lived. He used this threat to force me to submit."
"Fourth, Li Youdao formed a large number of party members in the court, secretly planted power, and interfered in the government affairs. One person climbed up and echoed from all directions. His disobedience was clearly exposed."
After Li Qinzai finished speaking, the hall fell into deathly silence.
Li Youdao's face became paler and paler, and Li Zhi's expression became colder.
The four major crimes are each heart-breaking.
Especially the last one is the most serious. It involves cliques for personal gain and disobedience. No matter how broad-minded the emperor is, he must not tolerate it.
The discussion among the ministers also disappeared, and everyone was extremely horrified.
Unexpectedly, Li Qinzai immediately flipped the table as soon as he appeared. It was really a fierce fight to the death.
After a long time, the pale Li Youdao jumped out, pointed at Li Qinzai and said in shock and anger: "Li Qinzai, it is a serious crime to frame a court official. How dare you deceive the emperor in front of the emperor!"
Li Qinzai turned to face him and smiled at him: "Li Shaoqing, do you dare to do it or not?"
