Fortunately, although Empress Wu was very powerful, she showed no mercy when she killed Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, and her methods were extremely cruel.
But for now, Empress Wu is still peacefully being her queen, and has no thoughts of usurping power, and she has not yet begun to arrange for her cronies to be placed in the court.
Li Zhi was ill and unable to see, so Empress Wu helped him review memorials. Now she was positioned as a female secretary, not a female president, and the decision-making power of government affairs was still firmly in Li Zhi's hands.
The number of ghostwriting and reviewing memorials has increased, and both men and women will inevitably have a strong desire for power. However, if Li Zhi's physical condition can remain stable, it will be difficult for the female secretary to become a domineering female CEO.
"Jingchu, I've seen duck-foot leaves a lot, but I've never heard that they can cure wind diseases. Isn't Jingchu teasing me?" Li Zhi looked at the ginkgo leaves in the box suspiciously.
"How dare I tease your majesty? To put it bluntly, if your majesty has any shortcomings, I will be the first to be unlucky. When your majesty goes back, you might as well ask the imperial doctor. There should be records in the ancient prescriptions that ginkgo leaves are bitter in taste, neutral in nature, and can activate blood circulation. It relieves asthma, overcomes wind and lowers lipids, and can exactly cope with your Majesty's disease."
Li Zhi nodded: "I do know how to ask the palace people. It's not that I don't believe you. The medicine I take must be strictly verified by the Imperial Medical Office. In the Tang Dynasty, there was an old immortal named Sun Simiao. In the third year of Yonghui's reign, he wrote "Thousands of Gold" The book "Recipes" contains worldly medicines, and the effects of duck foot leaves must be recorded."
Li Qinzai asked with interest: "Sun Simiao? Is he still alive?"
"What are you talking about? The old god is very healthy. However, he is a Taoist priest. He likes to be peaceful and quiet. He travels around the world all the year round. It is difficult for mortals to meet him."
Li Qinzai became more and more interested. If calculated according to time, Sun Simiao is now about 120 years old, and he is still alive. This grandpa, the King of Medicine, has been highly respected for thousands of years. If there is fate, he must meet.
Although Li Qinzai is young, he also knows the importance of health care. He must ask the old god to prescribe a health prescription for him, such as wolfberry, ginseng, cordyceps and so on, and he will eat it from now on.
After finishing the conversation, Li Qinzai turned to look at the sky outside the hall.
It's almost noon, why doesn't Li Zhi leave? Do you need to have lunch?
Just take it easy, as long as you leave before dark today.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Why don't you prepare lunch for your Majesty earlier? After your Majesty has finished your meal, hurry up and hurry up. Maybe you can reach Weinan County before evening..."
Li Zhi was stunned: "You...are you chasing away guests?"
"I don't dare. I'm just afraid of delaying His Majesty's schedule."
"Who told you that I was leaving today?"
"Ah? Why doesn't Your Majesty leave..." Li Qinzai immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly said with joy: "Your Majesty is staying in the humble abode. The humble abode is really full of brilliance. It's so radiant!"
Li Zhi nodded slowly: "Since Jingchu said so, I will let your humble abode shine for a few more days. Go ask someone to prepare lunch. You can prepare a few more dishes like last night."
Li Qinzai said listlessly: "Yes, I will go and give the orders right now."
Li Zhi looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "Jing Chu looks like this. It's hard to see the joy of Peng Pi. On the contrary, it seems to be adding insult to injury."
"What I'm doing is an inner drama, and the joy is all in my heart."
…………
Li Zhi actually stayed, like a poor homeless man who was kicked out by his landlord. He finally managed to stay at a friend's house temporarily, and once he stayed, he didn't want to leave.
There are so many major national affairs waiting for your decision, are you really that free? Your mother-in-law was so happy writing and criticizing memorials in Tai Chi Palace. Are you sure you don't want to go back and see if she will make a big difference?
Li Zhi is not in a hurry at all. He is now on a paid vacation, and it is an honorable vacation. With a sick leave note issued by the imperial doctor, the courtiers can't say anything.
After wandering around the courtyard with nothing to do, Li Zhi politely entered the Buddhist hall and met his aunt who practiced Buddhism with a junior prayer.
The courtyard is not big, so I quickly got tired of wandering around, so I walked out of the gate and wandered around the village.
At first, Li Qinzai accompanied the leader and was responsible for the tour guide explanation. Later, he saw that Li Zhi didn't seem to need a tour guide. He liked to watch and listen by himself.
Squatting in the field, watching farmers burning wheat straw to fertilize the fields, Li Zhi felt itchy and couldn't help but light a fire himself, almost burning all the farmers' wheat stacks for the winter.
The farmer was very angry. Although Li Zhi dressed like a nobleman, a nobleman could not destroy the farmer's wheat pile.
Under the unkind gazes of the bankers, Li Zhi apologized with an embarrassed smile, not seeing the emperor's airs at all.
Li Qinzai watched silently and didn't stop him. He was having so much fun, so why stop him?
But I heard that playing with fire will make you wet the bed. Tonight, Li Zhi and Qiao'er each peed in their own way.
It was early winter, everything was silent, and the north wind was bleak.
Li Zhi wandered around the village, and Li Qinzai reluctantly accompanied him.
When we were walking to the entrance of the village, two women were sitting under a locust tree not far away. Each woman was carrying a bamboo basket. It was obvious that she had just come down from the mountain to collect mountain goods. Looking at the empty bamboo baskets, it was clear that the woman had not gained much today. big.
The two women were Cui Jie and Cong Shuang. As the weather got colder, there were fewer and fewer mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the mountains. There were many wild animals in the mountains. The two women did not dare to go deep into the mountains. They only dared to pick mountain products on the mountainside, and the harvest was naturally more and more abundant. Come less and less.
Full of disappointment, she was sitting under the locust tree at the entrance of the village to rest when she saw Li Qinzai walking up to him accompanied by a middle-aged man in fine clothes. Cui Jie did not give way and was about to get up to meet Li Qinzai.
The two of them live in the same village, and even if they encounter each other by chance, they cannot avoid meeting each other. Fortunately, after the fishing incident a few days ago, Cui Jie is no longer so repulsive to Li Qinzai.
"Cui Jie pays homage to Brother Li Shi." Cui Jie bowed Yingying.
Li Zhi was quite surprised by the standard family etiquette. He did not expect that someone in this village could practice such standard etiquette. Even in the court, Li Zhi had not seen such a grand and formal ceremony for many years.
"Jingchu, this is..."
Li Qinzai could only introduce him enthusiastically: "This, the little girl picking mushrooms, is hilarious."
Li Zhi looked at him speechlessly, you are really getting more and more naughty.
In a remote Zhuangzi, a woman with such standard etiquette, good looks and extraordinary temperament is different at first glance. Are you telling me that she is just a mushroom picker?
Cui Jie was also speechless. Although there were strangers present, she was well-educated and could still be generous. However, this dude introduced himself in this way. It was really... so rude.
Li Qinzai also looked at her innocently.
What else should I say? You are said to be the daughter of the Cui family in Qingzhou who escaped from marriage. I dare you to say, do you dare to run away?
Cui Jie bit her lip and glared at him hatefully.
The two people were silent and flirting in Li Zhi's eyes. After observing for a moment, Li Zhi suddenly realized something and had a bad smile on his face.
"Jingchu, come on, please tell your story."
