He led the villagers from Weinan County to Taiyuan, set a fire, and then returned to Ganjingzhuang in a big way.
Li Qinzai felt a little regretful. Although the commotion was quite big, it did not hurt anyone, let alone kill anyone. It just set fire to the family's ancestral home.
It's not very harmful, it's very insulting.
The situation can probably only reach this scale. If it is smaller, it will not cause shock to the government and the public. If it is larger, it will be too much. No matter whether he kills someone or injures someone, it will be difficult for Li Zhi to do it under the world's verbal and written criticism. Li Qinzai really had to squat in Dali Temple for several days.
Burning the ancestral home was just right, the movement was big enough, and it completely shook the foundation of the Taiyuan Wang family. It also satisfied the goals of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, giving them sufficient reason to beat the Taiyuan Wang family hard.
As soon as Li Qinzai returned to Ganjingzhuang, the news about the burning of Wang's ancestral home spread.
For a time, the world was shaken, and both the government and the public were shocked.
When the messenger spread the news day and night to various disciples, former officials and dignitaries related to the Wang family, countless officials and scholars who were inextricably linked to the Wang family became angry.
They wrote eloquent memorials all night long, and jointly impeached Weinan County Bo Li Qinzai for being unreasonable, daring and offending the nobles of the county. They asked the emperor to reduce his rank and commit his crime. Without severe punishment, it would not be enough to thank the world.
Chang'an City was boiling overnight.
Not only the court, but also the scholars were agitated. Students from the Imperial College, famous scholars of the time, and even some common people knelt outside the Tai Chi Palace and begged the emperor to severely punish Li Qinzai.
By burning down the Wang family's ancestral home in Taiyuan, Li Qinzai seemed to have stung a hornet's nest, and the whole world was detonated.
The memorials like snowflakes floated into the Shangshu Province, and Xu Jingzong, the Prime Minister of the Shangshu, and Liu Xiangdao, the Right Prime Minister of the Shangshu, were busy until late at night and still could not read all the memorials and memorials.
The next day, Xu Jingzong had to go to the palace to see Li Zhi. He moved countless memorials to impeach Li Qinzai into Taiji Palace and asked Li Zhi to read them.
Li Zhi responded politely, put the memorial aside, and chatted with Xu Jingzong about his family affairs.
After talking nonsense all over the world, Xu Jingzong tested Li Zhi's intentions several times. After all, Li Qinzai and Xu Jingzong had been famous for a long time. He had made many achievements. I heard that the emperor was particularly favoring him today.
In less than a year, he not only made an exception and knighted Li Qinzai, but also later destroyed the Japanese country. He insisted on promoting him to the first-level knighthood despite public objections. Under such grace, it was difficult for Xu Jingzong to guess God's will.
And for an old official like Xu Jingzong who has been in the officialdom for most of his life, especially if he can reach such a high position as the right minister, even if the whole world is filled with righteous indignation to impeach Li Qinzai, as long as the emperor remains silent, he will never dare to deal with it privately. .
The emperor and his ministers chatted in the Taiji Palace for about half an hour. Li Zhi talked about the weather, the general trend, internal and external troubles, and even the feng shui of Xu Jingzong's ancestral tombs, but he never mentioned the fact that Li Qinzai set fire to the Wang family in Taiyuan.
There is no attitude, but a clear attitude.
Xu Jingzong was confused at first, but later he became clearer and clearer as we talked, and his ideas gradually became clearer.
It’s true, the emperor wants to protect Li Qinzai!
Not only that, I am afraid that the grudge between the Taiyuan Wang family and Li Qinzai is not that simple, and there may be a reversal.
When Wang Cong'an of Chang'an was captured by Baiqisi, it was done in secret, and the reasons were kept secret. Xu Jingzong could vaguely guess the truth without knowing anything about it. The old official Youzi did have some abilities.
After the monarch and his ministers chatted for a long time, Xu Jingzong resigned in a sensible manner.
Returning to the Shangshu Provincial Office, the first thing Xu Jingzong did was to find a few big boxes, sweep all the memorials to impeach Li Qinzai into the boxes, and then... calmly handle other court affairs.
There were still a steady stream of imperial memorials sent to the Ministry of Secretariat. Xu Jingzong didn't even bother to read them and threw them all into the box.
The Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and just when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were furious and impeached Li Qinzai, Xu Jingzong made a bold move.
He personally visited the British father-in-law with a name card and presented him with Dragon Boat Festival gifts. He prepared several gifts, including one for Li Qinzai.
When people all over the world were rushing to impeach Li Qinzai, Xu Jingzong, the right prime minister who handled the impeachment memorial, actually took the initiative to visit the house and give gifts. This operation was quite outrageous.
Many courtiers and officials who knew Xu Jingzong's character suddenly calmed down and then seemed to have some enlightenment.
A person like Xu Jingzong is not a good person, but he is not a bad person either. He knows how to follow people's influence and can make friends. His popularity in the court is not bad, but he has one very distinctive characteristic.
When I'm in office, I don't care if the flood below you is raging, I only care about the emperor's face.
So, at this time, Xu Jingzong uncharacteristically took the initiative to send gifts to the British government. What does it mean?
After the courtiers calmed down, there were inexplicably fewer memorials to impeach Li Qinzai.
There are fewer memorials to impeachment, but not none. Memorials can be shelved and ignored, but what about court meetings?
At the court meeting the next day, more than a dozen censors came out to impeach Li Qinzai in front of Li Zhi.
Li Qinzai burned most of the Wang family in Taiyuan, a county with a well-known family for thousands of years. This was no small matter. He not only offended the court's laws, but also seriously provoked the world's great Confucians and scholars.
In particular, the courtiers who had direct and indirect relations with the Wang family in Taiyuan were furious and shed tears in the Golden Palace. They did not hesitate to die to remonstrate with them, begging the emperor to severely punish the evil thief who set the fire, and to bring justice to the world's scholars and scholars.
As expected by Li Qinzai, a storm gathered over the Golden Palace of the Chaotang, and a shower was approaching.
…………
Ganjingzhuang.
Li Qinzai, who had just returned to Zhuangzi, heard a very speechless news before he could take a breath.
"Miss Cui escaped again?" Li Qinzai looked confused: "Is she addicted to running away from marriage? She ran away again and again. What did I do wrong?"
Liu Asi scratched her head: "I heard from the banker that the Fifth Young Master was on his way to Taiyuan with his troops, so she hurriedly packed her luggage and left Zhuangzi..."
Li Qinzai said dissatisfiedly: "What did I do wrong? How did I offend her? Recently, apart from burning other people's ancestral houses, I have been extremely honest. Why is she so crazy?"
I took a deep breath with anger still lingering.
She is not as good as a Japanese mother-in-law. Although the Japanese mother-in-law has a pretentious and awkward temperament, she is big and white. This advantage is enough to cover up all the shortcomings.
Li Qinzai secretly decided to wait a few more days. If there was no news from Cui Jie, he would deal with the Japanese woman.
He wanted to taste Mr. Mikami's sweet and salty dishes.
Hearing that Li Qinzai was back, Qiao'er and a group of disciples came out of the front yard to welcome him.
Li Sujie looked in admiration and kept saluting. Others may not know the inside story of the assassination, but the disciples in Zhuangzi all knew that it was related to the Taiyuan Wang family.
Of course, they didn't know yet that Li Zhi and Empress Wu planned to use this matter to cause trouble, nor did they know the complexity behind the matter.
In short, when others dared to assassinate Mr. Xiang, he took them to Taiyuan without saying a word and burned down their ancestral home.
This temper, this urine, I can't accept it.
