Grandparents and grandsons don't have many opportunities to cooperate. They only have a tacit understanding in recent years. Probably because they are related by another generation, Li Ji has become more and more fond of Li Qinzai in the past two years.
This kind of favorability is not about how much contribution Li Qinzai has made outside, nor about how big a proportion he plays in the family's interests.
It's purely the love that the older generation has for the younger generation. Of course, this love is mostly due to Li Qinzai's mouth that needs to be pumped.
Compared to other juniors who were respectful in front of Li Ji, perhaps Li Ji preferred Li Qinzai's shy approach. Every time Li Qinzai came home, Li Ji always smiled a lot more than usual.
"It is wise to avoid this matter," Li Ji praised: "Since ancient times, matters in the palace have been very dangerous, and foreign ministers must not interfere with them. If you are not careful, you will end up plundering the family and exterminating the clan. Qin Zai has done a good job, and it is worthy of what I just said. I acted in that play with you."
Li Qinzai laughed heartily. Only he knew that in real history, this queen was the only queen who claimed the title of emperor. She and Li Zhi were both big bosses in the palace, and they only dared to get involved when they were full.
Even though Empress Wu's wings were clipped and severely beaten by Li Zhi this time, the queen's position is still very stable, and Li Zhi cannot do without her assistance.
As long as she behaves for a while, she will slowly regain her strength and start acting like a monster again.
Faced with a fierce woman who bleeds for five to seven days a month and doesn't die, and who has suffered many defeats and battles throughout her life, becoming more courageous the more she fights, how dare Li Qinzai go against her?
"After the grandson rejected the emperor, the emperor chose someone to cut off the queen's wings. I guess it was the right prime minister Xu Jingzong. We sat quietly aside and watched how Xu Xiang killed everyone..."
"There should be a lot of people who have been defeated this time. The Hou Party has become very powerful in recent years. Xu Jingzong only dealt with a few people, so he might not be able to get the job done." Li Qinzai said with a smile.
Li Ji stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Xu Jingzong's official career is very upright. He was born in Tiance Mansion and was one of the eighteen scholars of Zhenguan. From the day he was appointed by His Majesty, he was determined to stand on His Majesty's side. I will show no mercy to the rear party, and the queen is in a bit of trouble this time."
Li Qinzai hummed, glanced in the direction of the front yard unconsciously, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, those two are the trouble in the family. No one knows what their purpose is. Although they should not assassinate you, you still Be careful with everything..."
Li Ji chuckled and said: "With me watching in the house, those two people can't make a difference. Even these tricks can't deal with it. I should have died long ago."
Grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

In this era of lagging information, the best way to avoid disaster is to run far away.
After something happened to Mrs. Wei, her mother, Mrs. Han, followed Li Qinzai's advice and hastily buried Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Han also immediately left for her hometown of Bingzhou.
Li Qinzai was a little worried about Wu Minzhi. After having a big drink with him the day before yesterday, Wu Minzhi left Zhuangzi and was nowhere to be found. There was no telling what trouble this madman would cause.
After bidding farewell to Li Ji, Li Qinzai led his troops out of the city and returned to Ganjingzhuang.
As soon as I walked in, I heard Manager Song report some good news.
Wu Minzhi is back.
At noon today, Wu Minzhi returned to Zhuangzi. After returning, he got into the school dormitory and fell asleep. He didn't know what he did outside.
Li Qinzai finally felt relieved and went straight to the school dormitory without even entering the door.
In a single room on the north side of the dormitory, Li Qinzai stood outside the room and heard Wu Minzhi's snoring through the window lattice.
Crazy batch of snoring is quite rhythmic...
Li Qinzai quietly walked back to the door, took a deep breath, and then...with a loud bang, kicked the door open.
Wu Minzhi, who was soundly asleep, jumped up from the bed, his hair stood up in fear, and he looked at Li Qinzai at the door with a frightened and confused face, like a silly roe deer shocked by the roar.
"It's broad daylight. I didn't expect that my dear brother Min is still awake. Come on, let's find a quiet and elegant place to have a long talk." Li Qinzai laughed loudly and flicked his robe sleeves while laughing. It is said that famous celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties
This pose is popular.
Wu Minzhi came to his senses, but his heartbeat was still very violent. He was frightened in his sleep and could not recover for a while.
"You...which of your eyes saw that I'm not sleeping yet?" Wu Minzhi said blankly.
Li Qinzai turned around gracefully, bent over, and turned his buttocks towards him.
"Understood." Wu Minzhi sighed: "Sir, let's make an agreement. You and I will never do such boring things in the future, okay? I promise that I will never harass you at abnormal times, no matter how crazy you are.
Disciples will also restrain themselves."
"I'm afraid I can't control myself," Li Qinzai said happily: "I just discovered that if the victim is not myself, it would be fun to do it."
Wu Minzhi opened his mouth, but was speechless.
He was restrained again. He was not afraid of being beaten or scolded by others, but if he was suddenly frightened while sleeping, wouldn't he have to turn a blind eye when sleeping in the future?
The strange thing is why I was so mean a few days ago and insisted on having a drink with my husband in the middle of the night. The retribution came so quickly and will be intensive in the future.
Li Qinzai ordered Bu Qu to stay outside the door, walked into the house, sat in front of Wu Minzhi, and said, "Tell me, what did you go out to do today?"
Wu Minzhi smiled and said: "Disciple went out to relax, and originally planned to go back to Chang'an City, but before he entered the city, his mood improved inexplicably, so he came back in circles."
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "If I believed your lies, I would have wasted my life."
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I'm just telling you that the emperor has begun to investigate the case of Mrs. Wei's poisoning. If nothing else, the queen may be in a little trouble. It can be regarded as avenging your sister. Chang'an City has not been peaceful recently.
You'd better stay in Zhuangzi and don't cause trouble."
Wu Minzhi seemed to be in a much better mood. There was no sadness on his face after hearing this. He just blinked and said, "Will the emperor depose the queen?"
"That's not true. Don't expect too much, but the queen's wings in the court may suffer a lot this time."
Wu Minzhi showed a cute smile: "Okay, I will stay in Zhuangzi and do nothing."
Li Qinzai frowned. This madman smiled strangely and was too obedient, which was not a good sign.
I'm a little hesitant about getting him a cage and locking him up. With Wu Minzhi's unique hobby, he might just like this.
While he was thinking wildly, a member of the tribe hurriedly came outside the house and called Li Qinzai out.
"A chief minister of Dali Temple and a censor of Xitai came to visit. They brought a dozen officers and waited outside the gate of the other courtyard, saying they wanted to interrogate Wu Minzhi."
Li Qinzai was shocked. His first reaction was, is Empress Wu so crazy? Does she dare to do something evil at this time?
The second reaction is that Empress Wu cannot protect herself at this time and should not dare to make any stupid moves again. Could it be that Wu Minzhi did something after running out of Zhuangzi last night?
