The rulers of the Tang Dynasty had always been open-minded and tolerant towards religion.
Any religion that comes to the Tang Dynasty can find a place to survive as long as it does not go against the rulers.
This is a great dynasty that can accommodate the hearts of people from all over the world. It has the largest capital city in the world. In the capital city, people can see admiring barbarians from all over the world, merchants who have traveled long distances across mountains and rivers, Envoys dressed in exquisite costumes, as well as exotic beauties with various skins and styles.
The tolerance of the Tang Dynasty not only tolerated light, but also tolerated darkness.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi has been walking on thin ice since he ascended the throne. After more than ten years of hard work after ascending the throne, he perfectly inherited the legacy of Zhenguan and carried forward the Tang Dynasty.
And his mind is no less than that of his father.
However, no matter how broad the emperor's mind is, there is a bottom line.
Impeaching Li Qinzai seemed like a small matter, but when so many courtiers came forward, Li Zhi realized that Nestorianism's hand had already reached into the court.
Sitting in the golden palace, listening to the officials talking about Li Qinzai's accusations, Li Zhi's face became more and more gloomy.
The courtiers who can stand in the golden palace must be shrewd and discerning. Are there any people who have no discernment?
Of course there is, that's because the Golden Palace is too big and far away from the emperor, so you can't see the emperor's expression clearly.
The courtiers who were closer to the emperor were in high positions, and their eyesight was much stronger.
In the Golden Palace, Right Chancellor Xu Jingzong was relatively close to Li Zhi, and he could see Li Zhi's gloomy expression clearly with his old eyes.
But the courtiers below still stood up one by one and listed Li Qinzai's crimes endlessly.
Xu Jingzong stood up immediately and shouted: "Shut up! The golden palace of the country determines the rise and fall of the country, and affects the misfortunes and blessings of the people. For a small grudge, there is no end, where is your dignity?"
The people closest to Li Zhi in the Golden Palace were not only Xu Jingzong, but also Li Yifu.
Seeing that Xu Jingzong raised his head, Li Yifu quickly looked at Li Zhi's expression and immediately jumped out.
"What Mr. Xu Youxiang said is true. The grievances between Weinan County Marquis and Nestorianism are basically out of the question. What on earth do you have in mind to bring this matter to court? Why don't you see you so generous and enthusiastic when the country is in trouble? ?”
One is the right minister of the court, and the other is the favored Duke of Hejian. These two are very important in the court.
After being scolded, there was a sudden silence in the hall.
Li Zhi's expression instantly relaxed a lot.
Li Yifu glanced at Li Zhi's expression again, and felt slightly happy that he had made the right move just now.
As politicians and court bosses, there are actually no principles for life. Li Yifu had a grudge against Li Qinzai before, but that didn't mean that Li Yifu would be determined to go against Li Qinzai.
For example, at this moment, Li Yifu turned his gun and defended Li Qinzai. It was not that the hatred between him and Li Qinzai disappeared, but simply because of Li Zhi's expression.
If your majesty is happy, this is my happiness. If your majesty is not happy, I will find a way to make you happy.
This is Li Yifu's idea, so simple and unpretentious.
in principle? No, if those who hang out in the court follow principles in everything, they would have been wiped out by the waves.
After Li Yifu finished speaking, Li Zhi glanced at him quickly, his eyes full of approval.
In recent years, Li Zhi has always been dissatisfied with Li Yifu. Just because Li Yifu is the wing of Empress Wu, Li Zhi has already wanted to replace him. Li Yifu is also vaguely aware of this. Today, he stood up to speak to Li Qinzai just to ease his relationship with him. The relationship between Li Zhi.
Facts have proved that Li Yifu did get the multiple-choice question right today.
The boiling public opinion in the court suddenly became silent as the two big bosses Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu suppressed it.
Li Zhi glanced at the ministers indifferently and said slowly: "All the princes are important ministers. The affairs of the court and the affairs of the world are worthy of discussion in the Taiji Hall. All princes should have a sense of proportion."
The tone was calm, but it contained a warning. After finishing speaking, Li Zhi stood up and announced the dismissal of the court.
Li Qinzai was not mentioned a word, but the officials clearly saw Li Zhi's attitude.
The Holy Family is the Holy Family, and it is really revealed, without saying a word, but as solid as a rock.
Before leaving the Golden Palace, Li Zhi suddenly stopped and glanced at Xu Jingzong quickly.
Xu Jingzong showed an understanding smile and bowed slightly towards Li Zhi.
Li Zhi twitched his lips and immediately walked around the screen at the back of the hall.
…………
On the streets of Chang'an, a group of street gangsters were strutting through the streets with their own songs.
The street gangs come from various powerful families, and they are all affectionately called "little bastards" by Li Qinzai.
The Lantern Festival has passed, and according to the date, the little bastards will leave the bustling Chang'an City in a few days and return to the remote Ganjingzhuang Academy to continue their studies.
Before they leave, the little bastards must let go and play for a few days. Next time they return to Chang'an City, they will either be invited by their husband to take care of their parents, or they will go on summer vacation, which will be at least a few months later.
Li Sujie was the oldest, walking struttingly in front, followed closely by Li Xian, followed by Qi Bizhen, Xu Ziran, and the youngest Shangguan Kun'er and others.
"Junior brothers, seize the opportunity to play. The days of leisure are getting shorter and shorter every day." Li Sujie looked a little disappointed. His little expression did not look like the joy of playing at all, but a kind of sadness like visiting a grave.
"Why did Brother Sujie say such ominous words?" Qi Bizhen asked curiously: "What do you mean, one day is passed and one day is lost?"
Li Sujie sighed sadly: "Before the Lantern Festival, I visited my husband. My husband said that after the school starts, there will be an exam first..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little bastards suddenly let out a wail. The happy expression just now instantly turned into one of mourning.
"I can't survive!"
"The injury I received from my father a few years ago has not healed yet. Why did you, sir, force me to die?"
"Give me three feet of white silk and I will hang it on a southeastern branch. Why should I be afraid of the exam?"
Seeing everyone wailing, Li Sujie finally regained her balance and showed a satisfied smile.
That's right. Howling alone is not as good as howling when everyone is mourning.
Looking across the crowd, Li Sujie couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw Qibi Zhen also had a miserable look on his face, "Why is Junior Brother Qibi so sad? Didn't you say that you are thick-skinned and not afraid of being beaten?"
Qibi Zhen said quietly: "My father is a military commander, so I can just beat him with my bare hands. Have you ever been beaten by a hammer weighing more than 20 kilograms mixed with gold?"
Li Sujie shuddered and patted his shoulder sympathetically: "Junior brother, take care."
Everyone was wailing and stopped. They looked up and saw a restaurant on the street. Li Xian gritted his teeth and said, "Well, getting beaten tomorrow is just a matter of tomorrow. If you drink as much as you want today, I will be drunk to death." Hit it!"
Li Sujie also sighed, then waved his hand: "Let's go upstairs and have a drink!"
A group of little bastards walked into the restaurant one by one with tragic expressions, as if they were having their last meal before being taken to the execution ground.
