Xu Jingzong is an old fox. He has tricked people and done as many bad things as Li Yifu. But he is luckier than Li Yifu. He holds the lap of the emperor.
What Li Qinzai said to him today made Xu Jingzong tremble all over and his old face turned pale.
If Li Qinzai hadn't reminded him today, he would have almost made a big mistake.
In fact, the pros and cons analyzed by Li Qinzai are not complicated. Xu Jingzong can also think clearly if he calms down and thinks carefully.
It's just that he has been too busy these days, busy collecting evidence of Li Yifu's crimes, and he is full of enthusiasm, eager to make new achievements in front of Li Zhi, so he has no time to think about many details.
Coupled with the signal Li Zhi released to the outside world, it was clear that he had obvious plans to abolish the queen, so Xu Jingzong decided to kill all the queens.
Now that Li Qinzai analyzed it carefully, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
It was my own fault in judgment before, making one wrong step and one wrong step after another.
Now if it is certain that Empress Wu will not be deposed, then the lard will be fooled and he will catch up with all the rear party members. If the thing is done, even if Xu Jingzong dies with a kick, wouldn't he be afraid that Empress Wu will dig him out and whip his body after he regains power?
?
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no one had done this.
The famous admonisher Wei Zheng once recommended Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun to Li Shimin. The two were later implicated in the rebellion of Prince Li Chengqian. Li Shimin was annoyed that the two were recommended by Wei Zheng. He suspected that Wei Zheng had formed a party for personal gain, so he ordered Wei Zheng's tombstone to be removed.
.
If Xu Jingzong offended the queen to death, it's hard to say whether his fate would be the same as Wei Zheng's.
Xu Jingzong stood up and bowed his head. Xu Jingzong looked frightened.
"Fortunately, Mr. Li Xianhou reminded me and woke up the dreamer with one word. I almost made a huge mistake. Thank you so much, Mr. Li Xianhou." Xu Jingzong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
Li Qinzai also hurriedly stood up and helped him up: "Xu Xiang, please don't do this, you will hurt the kid. You are the elder, and our two families still have business contacts. Your grandson and the kid also have brotherhood, both in public and in private."
, I should also say all I can to Mr. Xu."
Xu Jingzong patted the back of Li Qinzai's hand and sighed: "You should be like Li Jingchu when you have a son. I don't admire Duke Ying's life achievements, nor am I jealous of Duke Ying's high official position. The only person I admire is that Duke Ying has a good grandson. I really envy me."
That’s it!”
"If those bastard children and grandchildren of my family were as smart and smart as Marquis Li County, I would still be able to smile even if I died now. What a pity that such a unicorn and a thousand-mile horse were not born in my Xu family!"
Li Qinzai twitched the corners of his lips and said, "It's like giving birth to a child." It sounded like a compliment, but it always felt wrong.
Lao Xu's worldly sophistication was still a little off. I really felt that I had done him a favor, so why not kneel down and kowtow calmly? I even praised him a lot of nonsense, but it still didn't touch his itch.
Li Qinzai had so much analysis with Xu Jingzong today, and of course it was not because he was full.
From the beginning to the end of this case, he was just a bystander. If he was really involved in anything, it was just to save Wu Minzhi and hand over the warlock Du Yuanji, adding fuel to the collapse of Li Yifu.
.
Li Qinzai couldn't care too much about whether this fire would offend Empress Wu. With Empress Wu's IQ, he would naturally think about it clearly afterwards.
Since Li Zhi is determined to cut off her wings, it doesn't matter who handles this case or who provides incriminating evidence. Even if there is no incriminating evidence, the back party's wings will definitely be wiped out this time.
Of course, it was indeed Li Zhi's idea to advise Xu Jingzong not to eradicate the problem. He could not do anything wrong. Li Qinzai's opening this mouth today can be regarded as a good relationship for himself.
If what I said today reaches Empress Wu's ears in the future, Empress Wu will be able to consider it carefully, so that the grudge will not be too severe.
A salted fish who is determined to eat and die in this life does not have to divide life and death with the enemy when something happens. If it is a bloody mess, leaving a little leeway is not necessarily a bad thing for the future of himself and his family.
This is also the worldly wisdom that Li Qinzai has summed up in his two lifetimes.
…………
Taiji Palace, Anren Palace.
The people in the palace had already been dismissed. Empress Wu knelt on the ground in front of Li Zhi and cried loudly. Li Zhi sat in the palace and looked at Empress Wu crying expressionlessly.
The husband and wife are several feet apart, but at this moment they seem to be separated by the ends of the earth and out of reach.
"I know that I was wrong. Your Majesty, please spare me this time..." Empress Wu cried sadly: "I should not have done anything to the wife of the State of Wei, and I should not have deceived the king, acted arbitrarily, or exceeded my authority. It was all my fault.
Concubine, please forgive me..."
Li Zhi slowly closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of air.
These days, the couple is acting for each other, whether in person or behind the scenes, and each one's acting skills are better than the other.
And Li Zhi had been waiting for this moment, waiting for Empress Wu to apologize to him face to face.
It must be said that Empress Wu was a very smart woman. Not only was this woman smart, but she was also able to bend and stretch. She did not hesitate when she knelt down to beg for mercy, and every sentence she made when she confessed was on point.
That's right, Li Zhi's reversal was not the death of Mrs. Wei. To Li Zhi, she was just a beauty that adjusted his life. Without this beauty, there would be countless beauties in the world waiting for him to discover.
Li Zhi's negative actions are bullying the emperor, being monopolistic, and exceeding authority.
This is an absolutely untouchable place in his heart.
How smart Empress Wu is, she has actually known for a long time what kind of taboo she has committed. But these days she has been evading, deceiving, and evading.
Li Zhi's decree to the Wang family in Taiyuan finally made her panic.
It turns out that she is not the only one he is indispensable for. If he wants, he can replace her at any time and replace her with a more obedient queen to assist him.
Once a person loses his bargaining chip, what can he do to fight against others?
Li Zhi stared at the weeping Empress Wu with cold eyes. After a long time, he finally sighed and said softly: "Queen, why are you like this? You and I have been married for many years. If we have anything to say, we have to act like a woman and teach you.
Outsiders saw the joke."
The crying Empress Wu trembled all over. From Li Zhi's words, she could tell that he still had not forgiven her.
The more polite you say it, the bigger the problem becomes and it never ends.
"Your Majesty, I really realized my mistake, and I will never dare to do it again!" Empress Wu fell to the ground and cried loudly.
Li Zhi said leisurely: "The queen is in charge of the harem and has the power of life and death over those who are disobedient in the harem. Even if a close relative breaks the rules, they should be killed out of justice. What's your fault?"
"I shouldn't have murderous intentions towards my niece. It's just His Majesty's tolerance. When I saw that she was so close to His Majesty, I became more and more favored. I was really jealous, so I lost my sense of proportion and made mistakes every step of the way. Please Your Majesty.
Please excuse me this time..."
Li Zhi squinted his eyes and sneered: "I have gained experience. I didn't expect that you can even kill your own niece. It shows how cruel and ruthless you are. If one day you gain power again, will you show no mercy to me?"
?”
Empress Wu trembled all over, and her tone became sharp: "Your Majesty, how does your Majesty treat my concubine like this? You and I have been married for many years, is this a cruel and heartless person? If your majesty is worried that my concubine will harm you, please kill me now. I
All I want is innocence!"
Li Zhi was silent for a long time and sighed sadly: "Meiniang,... are you still the same Mei Niang you were before?"
Empress Wu shed tears like rain and said with choked sobs: "I have always been that beautiful girl. The happiest days in my life were when Your Majesty was still the crown prince, when Your Majesty and I were inseparable from each other all day long...
"
Li Zhi seemed to be reminded of memories, and his eyes turned red unknowingly.
If you don’t believe it, I shed tears recently, so I opened the box to check out the pomegranate skirt.
