If you lick the dog until the end, you may not get nothing, maybe you will get everything.
Li Qinzai and Prince Teng both came to lick someone tonight, with different objects and different purposes.
Entering the heavily guarded backyard, the eunuch in the courtyard entered the room to report and led the two inside.
Li Zhi and Empress Wu were talking about business in the room. Li Qinzai's cement and his advice today inspired Li Zhi and Empress Wu a lot, and the couple were discussing the feasibility.
Many seemingly impossible decrees, as long as the emperor is determined to implement them and elevate them to the level of national policy, will eventually bear fruit if they are implemented for many years.
Qin Shihuang built the Qin Road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan County, and it is still spreading quietly in Guanzhong. Why could the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty not be able to do what the First Emperor could do?
What's more, with cement, you can get twice the result with half the effort. If the roads in various prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty can be connected, the benefits will be huge, which is unimaginable by the monarchs and ministers.
The couple were discussing, and when the eunuch reported that Li Qinzai and King Teng were asking for an audience, Li Zhi frowned.
It was normal for Li Qinzai to ask for an audience, but why did Prince Teng come?
This imperial uncle joined the feudal clan without going to Hongzhou. He kept traveling around and stayed in Chang'an, which Li Zhi disliked very much.
Resisting his displeasure, Li Zhi still summoned Li Qinzai and King Teng.
The two entered the house quickly. After the emperor and his ministers greeted each other, Li Zhi ignored King Teng and said to Li Qinzai with a smile: "Does Jingchu still have unfinished words?"
Li Qinzai coughed and said: "I didn't mean that. I was bored in my free time these days, so I tried to improve the formula of the Zhuyan Cream. After being adjusted by Chen, the Zhuyan Cream can whiten and moisturize the skin. It can be used for a long time. Achieving the effect of Tianshan Child Mother...well, rejuvenating one's youth."
Li Zhi looked at him in astonishment.
Empress Wu's eyes rolled up, she covered her mouth and giggled.
"Jingchu took all the trouble, but is it dedicated to me?" Empress Wu said with a smile.
Li Qinzai hurriedly offered the facial cream with both hands, showing a rare look of welcome.
"If the queen uses the improved beauty cream carefully prepared by me, she will be as beautiful as a girl, with skin as young and tender as a baby, comparable to the Qin Emperor's elixir of immortality, and her youth will be restored like a southern pine, and her appearance will remain as bright as the bright moon. Your Majesty will be proud of the queen I am fascinated and obsessed with dreams. From now on, the king will not go to court..."
A string of flattery came out of his mouth like a barrage of flattery. King Teng was stunned and stunned, Empress Wu giggled with joy, but Li Zhi's cheek twitched several times.
Damn, if you offer the beauty cream, do it well. What's the point of bringing me out as a supporting role?
Moreover, these words are used in all kinds of tiger and wolf terms, especially the last sentence "From now on the king will not go to court", it sounds like a faint king, flattering the queen but stepping on the emperor's kick, so fucking Is it human language?
Prince Teng on the side couldn't help but turn blue when he heard Li Qinzai's flattery. He wanted to vomit but did not dare to vomit. His eyes looking at Li Qinzai were full of contempt.
The sycophantic minister's flattering and flattering expression is particularly disgusting, bah!
Among the people present, Empress Wu was the happiest. She didn't care whether the improved facial cream was exaggerated or not, but Li Qinzai's string of flattery really hit her mark, making her elated.
Li Zhi took a deep breath and looked at Prince Teng.
"What is Uncle Teng doing here?"
King Teng was excited and immediately bowed and said: "I heard that the Holy Lord has a broad mind and can accommodate the sea. Through this, the late Emperor Taizong gained the heart of the world and conquered the world. His virtue was praised by the people. All nations came to court and praised him both internally and externally. Therefore, there are many countries." The lords of foreign countries are all given the honorary title and are called 'Khan of Heaven'..."
"My emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, and his broad-mindedness is no less than that of the late Emperor Taizong. He has inherited the legacy of Zhenguan and ushered in the prosperous age of the new dynasty. He has the image of a saintly king, and is praised by both the government and the public. From ancient times to the present, you are the only one who is your majesty."
Li Zhi's eyes were dull after hearing this, and Empress Wu also stared at Prince Teng in surprise.
This guy is no less flattering than Li Qinzai. What on earth does he want to do?
Li Qinzai's face was livid at this time and he wanted to vomit but did not dare to vomit.
It was so shameless, such a disgusting flattery, how could he have the nerve to say it?
Li Zhi sighed and said, "Uncle Prince Teng, what exactly do you want to do?"
Prince Teng blinked hard and squeezed out two tears.
"I was wild and immoral, stupid and ignorant, and made big mistakes. Now I have changed my ways. Thinking about all the misfortunes I made back then, I am even more heartbroken and regretful."
"Your Majesty, I am already middle-aged, but I am always on the road. I am either being demoted... or being demoted. I... I really can't be demoted anymore!"
"I only ask for your Majesty's mercy and allow me to rest in peace in Chang'an for the rest of my life. I will definitely not make any mistakes again. I just want my fallen leaves to return to their roots. This is the end of my life. Your Majesty is not inferior to the late emperor in mind. Please grant this small request to your Majesty."
The people in the room suddenly realized that they had been laying the groundwork for a long time to be broad-minded and tolerant of flatterers like Haichuan. It turned out to be this.
Li Zhi frowned: "Uncle Prince Teng, the court has the laws of the court. The vassal king must surrender to the vassal, and I cannot be selfish. Otherwise, if the courtiers participate in the impeachment, how can I serve the world and cover up your mouth?"
Prince Teng's old face fell, and he said pitifully: "Your Majesty, Chang'an is the place where I was born. I just want to spend the rest of my life in Chang'an. I have changed my ways. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me for my mistakes back then and let me live here forever." .”
Li Zhi rubbed his temples with a headache and sighed: "Uncle Prince Teng, I am not unreasonable. It is really hard to violate the law. Although I am the emperor, I cannot do whatever I want."
With his face getting colder, Li Zhi said indifferently: "After staying in Chang'an to rest for a few days, Uncle Teng should go to Hongzhou. Don't embarrass me. If there is any discussion between the government and the public, I will hold him accountable."
Prince Teng slumped down in confusion, endured his disappointment and saluted, "Yes, I obey your order."
Li Qinzai glanced at the lost King Teng and wanted to say something, but he still kept his mouth shut.
He only dared to intervene in the Tian family's housework when he was tired of it. Li Qinzai remembered the fate of those courtiers who were favored and arrogant throughout the ages.
Seeing Prince Teng's despair as if he had lost his soul, Li Zhi suddenly couldn't bear it.
Don't wait to see him again, don't wait to see him again, Li Zhi's character is still very kind after all.
Sighing, Li Zhi waved and said: "Uncle Prince Teng, come with me for a walk in the yard."
Prince Teng stood up and stepped aside. When Li Zhi walked out of the room, he followed him respectfully.
Li Qinzai and Empress Wu were left in the room.
Empress Wu glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Tell me, Jing Chu is flattering and offering facial cream today. What is his intention? This is not like your usual behavior."
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "I am purely out of loyalty. I just want to dedicate the good things in the world to the emperor and the empress. I have no other intention."
Empress Wu snorted and said, "You really don't have any other intentions? Then you can resign, I want to take a rest."
Li Qinzai said hurriedly: "I violated the queen's wishes when I merged the states. I am asking the queen to apologize today. It is not my fault. It is in full view of the public. It is really difficult for me to do this."
Empress Wu's eyes narrowed, and her tone became a little cold: "Jing Chu must know about the matter between His Majesty and the Korean lady?"
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched and he lowered his head and dared not speak.
Empress Wu sneered: "You help His Majesty cherish the beauty but ignore my wishes. You are really a good minister of His Majesty."
