The chickens and dogs danced, and the whole hall was full of filial piety.
The grandfather and grandson chased him for a long time, until Li Qinzai noticed that Li Ji was breathing heavily, so he deliberately slowed down and let Li Ji catch him, and whipped him several times with a horse whip.
"You are promising, huh? You dared to disobey military orders and mobilize troops without permission on your first expedition. Do you know how serious it is to disobey orders in the army?" Li Ji said angrily. . .
Li Qinzai nodded: "I know, it was my grandson who was impulsive. I promise not to do it next time."
Li Ji stared: "How dare there be a next time?"
Li Qinzai sighed.
Why is it that after everyone hears the four words "I won't dare to do it next time", they always naturally follow up with the sentence "I dare to have a next time"?
Did you fail the Chinese language test when you were a child? "I won't dare next time" means, of course, that there will be no next time. What's the point of following this sentence? Leverage?
Li Qinzai rubbed his buttocks. Fortunately, Liu Asi padded his buttocks with an extra piece of leather armor, otherwise Li Jizai's few blows would have been fatal.
"Grandpa, my grandson's disobedience will come to the court..." Li Qinzai hesitated.
Li Ji sneered: "Are you worried now? What did you do when you disobeyed the order?"
"My grandson was a little over the top at the time..." Li Qinzai blinked: "Should he be beheaded, right? Although my grandson had it before, he almost destroyed the Japanese country. Such a large territory was in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. If the merits and demerits are equal,...a fine of one year's salary?"
Li Jiqi smiled: "You and His Majesty are quite in tune with each other. Your Majesty also said the same thing at the time."
Li Qinzai said happily: "Is it true that the penalty is only one year's salary?"
"You are so beautiful! Even if Your Majesty is partial, will the courtiers let you go? The court today is a bit uneasy. His Majesty was ill two years ago, and Empress Wu wrote and reviewed the memorials on his behalf. Unknowingly, she has won over a group of courtiers. It’s hard to say whether someone will use this matter to make a fuss about people’s hearts.”
Li Qinzai frowned: "Li Yifu?"
"Not only Li Yifu, but also many people. Li Yifu is actually honest. After the last incident of your knighthood, he was severely beaten by His Majesty and the Queen. I am afraid that he will not dare to take the lead for a year and a half."
Li Qinzai smiled: "As long as His Majesty does not have any suspicion against me, I will be safe. No matter how many courtiers intervene, I will not lose any flesh."
Li Ji hummed and said, "That's the truth, but if too many people join you, Your Majesty won't be able to stop them, and they will still be punished to some extent, so be prepared."
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said: "My grandson thought that by virtue of his contribution to the destruction of the country, he might be able to get a promotion to a noble title. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be promoted from a county son to a county marquis?"
Li Ji sneered: "You just reincarnated well, disobeyed military orders, mobilized thousands of soldiers without authorization, and did not raise weapons according to the order. It is a huge crime. If it had been anyone else, you would have been killed in front of the battle. You are a British prince." My grandson has just allowed you to return to Chang'an intact, and you still want to be promoted to a noble rank?"
Li Qinzai sighed.
He knew how serious a crime it was to disobey military orders in this era. Li Ji's words were not an exaggeration. Military power was very sensitive, and mobilizing troops without authorization was definitely a serious crime of beheading. He was able to return to Chang'an alive only because of the British government. face.
Fortunately, Li Qinzai had no interest in official titles. His current official titles were all forced upon him by Li Zhi, and it didn't matter whether he wanted them or not.
Turning his head and looking in the direction of the front hall, Li Qinzai said: "Grandpa beats his grandson, and the grandson has nothing to say, but what's going on with those veterans? He just beat his grandson, there's no need to invite them to watch the ceremony, right?"
Li Ji was stunned: "Watch... watch the ceremony?"
"You bastard, don't you know why I invited them here?"
"Please grandpa enlighten me."
Li Ji snorted and said, "In front of them, I will beat you hard today. Tomorrow the court will know that you were beaten just after Li Qinzai returned to Chang'an."
"In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers, you have already been taught a lesson by me. If the courtiers still want to interfere with you, they will show some mercy and the punishment for you will not be so severe. Do you understand? After all, there is something involved. He gained the British public’s face and weight.”
Li Qinzai admired him endlessly. He was indeed a cunning old fox, and his calculations were precise.
Li Ji estimated the time and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the front hall with me to meet all the veterans... Idiot, don't you know how to pretend? Walk lamely and drag your feet on the ground."
Li Qinzai instantly became a disabled person, limping and dragging his feet on the ground. The appearance of being physically disabled but strong-willed is particularly sad.
"Grandpa, how are you?"
Li Ji couldn't help but praise: "It's so lifelike. You were born lame."
Not daring to argue with the empty nester, Li Qinzai pretended not to hear and limped away like a tiger.
After taking a few steps, Li Ji suddenly stopped him, with a slightly different color in his eyes.
"Qin Zai, you did a good job in destroying the Japanese country. At your age, I couldn't achieve your feats."
"If you were ordered to do it, you should be promoted to County Marquis this time, but it's a pity..."
"However,...the Li family is very lucky."
Li Ji suddenly smiled, his smile full of relief.
He is already old and cannot bear the burden of the entire family. Fortunately, there are successors to the Li family.
…………
Grandfather and grandson walked slowly to the front hall. Li Ji walked in front with his head held high, like a general returning in triumph. Li Qinzai walked behind with his head downcast, like an enemy soldier who had just been beaten by a victorious general who violated the Geneva Treaty. captive.
When they walked to the front hall, a group of veterans were still standing under the pillars outside the hall, looking at them laughing and joking.
Li Ji sighed with anger on his face, and forced a smile to everyone: "My family's misfortune makes you laugh."
Su Dingfang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "No laughter, no laughter. It's rare to see such excitement. Today's trip is worthwhile."
Li Qinzai looked up at Su Dingfang and silently added him to his blacklist.
Liang Jianfang smiled even more gloatingly: "The Li family's family tradition is really extraordinary. The children and grandchildren are getting more and more successful. If you are so cruel as to make your leg lame, you will definitely be granted the title of Duke and Prime Minister in the future. I have learned."
Li Qinzai silently blocked Liang Jianfang...
I will meet the children and grandchildren of these two people in Chang'an City later, and I will beat them up first. Li Qinzai has taken advantage of the destruction of the country, and I guess his prestige among the dandies in Chang'an City should have been qualitatively improved.
Xue Rengui was still kind and said with a reserved smile: "If I had known that my nephew would make such a fuss when he went to Baekje, I should have kicked my dog to Baekje. I would never be at a disadvantage if I joined the army with my nephew. Maybe I can even get some military merit."
Su Dingfang smiled and said: "Ren Gui must have misunderstood. He does whatever he does with his character. If your dog goes to Baekje, he may not have the courage of Jing Chu. Tsk! He got lost in the fog at sea and landed on a Japanese island by mistake. Haha, how did you come up with such nonsense?"
Li Qinzai explained weakly: "It was really heavy fog, and the Sinan car on the battleship didn't work, so I got lost. ... I was very scared at the time."
Su Dingfang laughed: "Okay, just deny it until you die. Once you admit it, it will be a serious crime, and His Majesty will not be able to protect you."
Li Ji said angrily: "The evil beast has not repented! There are all veterans in the hall, don't show off your tricks, it will be embarrassing!"
Xue Rengui sighed and said with envy: "My nephew is indeed very talented. It is so difficult to destroy a country. Even though we have fought hundreds of battles, we will never have the chance to destroy a country in our lifetime. You, a kid in his twenties, are like this." Already..."
Su Dingfang showed an arrogant yet reserved look, stroking his beard and smiling: "I am not talented, but I have also destroyed a country."
Everyone in the hall, except Li Ji, roared with dissatisfaction.
Li Qinzai also wanted to snort angrily, but he didn't dare.
Su Dingfang is not exaggerating. This old guy has indeed destroyed a country. There is a comment about him in the history books, "We destroyed three kingdoms before and after, and captured their masters alive."
