From Li Ji's words, Li Qinzai understood the meaning.
The decision to enshrine Mount Tai is very likely to be withdrawn. Following this, road construction and palace construction in various places will also be stopped. Young people will be sent back to their hometowns to farm, and expenditures from the national treasury will also be suspended. Consumption.
It's finally time for the emperor to take back this damn evil government.
Today's court meeting was obviously not in vain, and Li Qinzai suddenly felt that he had done something very meaningful.
As for the emperor who needs a step to get down, it doesn't matter, as many steps as he wants.
Your Majesty, "Your Majesty" means steps, which means that people are born to be people who need to go down steps.
It's good news and worth mentioning.
I must get together with a few friends tonight to reminisce about the long-lost scenery of the dandy boy.
"Come here, please invite Xue Nagaoqi and the others to come over. Tonight, we will arrange for the most luxurious brothel in Kangfang to have a hundred brothel girls pouting for me! I'll treat you!" Li Qinzai turned to the servants and shouted.
There was a roar in my ears: "You bastard is so arrogant! Do you think I am dead?"
Li Qinzai was startled and suddenly found that Li Ji was still beside him. He hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and said obediently: "I don't dare. My grandson is happy for a moment and wants to stimulate the domestic demand of our Datang..."
Licking his dry lips, Li Qinzai tentatively said, "Grandpa has done a great job in today's court meeting. How about your grandson find two girls to pout on for you? Let's celebrate with a two-gun salute."
Li Ji started to look around, and Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly grabbed Li Ji's unicorn arm that was about to move.
"Grandpa, my grandson is wrong." Li Qinzai gave up decisively.
Li Ji snorted angrily: "As soon as things started to improve a little bit, you got carried away. Don't forget that your Majesty hasn't officially issued an edict to suspend the granting of Zen, so there are variables in this matter. Do you understand?"
"My grandson understands," Li Qinzai blinked, and then flattered Li Ji: "My grandson saw your grandpa's heroic appearance at the court meeting today. It is worthy of the prestigious meritorious service of the three dynasties. As soon as you appeared, everyone in the hall was in awe. You are so respectful and respectful that your grandson both admires and envy you..."
The flattery made Li Ji smile in his eyes.
Among the descendants of the Li family, Li Ji was the only one who favored Li Qinzai, and there was a reason after all.
The other grandsons were frightened in front of him and did not dare to take a breath, but this grandson was the only one. No matter what his expression or mood was, he was never frightened. The flattering words in his mouth made people listen She was happy and blushing, but she felt very comfortable in her heart.
How could Li Ji not favor such a capable and chatty grandson?
"Get out!" Li Ji shouted happily with a smile.
"My grandson finally knows that grandpa said before that I underestimated the meaning of the British Duke. At today's court meeting, even the emperor treated grandpa with such respect and courtesy. I guess the emperor's sacred scrolls and trust in grandpa are unparalleled in the world."
Li Ji stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have behaved upright and stood upright these years. I am only loyal to the emperor. Of course the emperor trusts me."
"In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, the late Emperor Taizong was seriously ill. Before his death, the late Emperor demoted me to Diezhou as the governor without any reason, and ordered me to leave the city immediately to take up my post."
"I accepted the order at that time and didn't even return home. I only took the appointment documents from the Ministry of War and a few subordinates. After leaving the palace, I went straight to the city gate and left Longxi to take up my post."
"After this incident, the late emperor and the current emperor completely trusted me. A few months later, the late emperor passed away. The emperor recalled me to Chang'an, granted him the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and read out the late emperor's will, inscribed by Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. Together with me, the three of us assist Zuo Xinjun. From then on, the emperor has no suspicion of me and trusts me to this day."
Speaking of the past, Li Ji's eyes flashed, and his expression showed a hint of emotion.
Li Qinzai suddenly understood why Li Zhi trusted Li Ji so much.
Not only was Li Ji in the right position when it came to deposing the king and establishing Wu, but Li Ji had already won the unconditional favor of two generations of emperors as early as the Zhenguan period.
After many years, Li Qinzai could still imagine the edict given to Li Ji by Li Shimin when he was critically ill. How dangerous Li Ji's situation was at that time.
If Li Ji hesitates a little and is unwilling to leave Chang'an after receiving the order, then the end that awaits Li Ji will not be a good one.
Li Ji didn't even return home after receiving the order. He only took a few troops and went directly out of the city to take up his post. This move undoubtedly reassured both Li Shimin and Li Zhi. It was both a test and a screening.
Therefore, after Li Shimin's death, Li Ji was recalled to Chang'an as soon as possible, and became one of the three most important ministers alongside Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.
As time passed, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang fell. Of the three lonely and important ministers, only Li Ji was safe and sound.
Of course, when emperors in the past dynasties changed, it was common for them to suppress important ministers first and then promote them. The former emperor was demoted and the new emperor was favored. Such little tricks were even more common.
Li Qinzai didn't know how the other brothers in the family were as afraid of Li Ji, but he still liked chatting with Li Ji, especially listening to the old man talk about all kinds of secret stories from the past. It’s especially fascinating to say it.
That night, Li Qinzai indeed called Xue Nagaoqi.
The three brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and everyone has changed a lot.
Gao Qi's temperament is becoming more and more elegant. According to him, he studies at home recently and rarely hangs out with the dandies in Chang'an City.
His father, Gao Zhenxing, burst into tears when he saw that his son had been reborn. Not only did he go to the temple and donate a large amount of incense money to the Bodhisattva, he also made a vow in front of the Buddha and became a vegetarian for half a year, in order to thank the Bodhisattva for allowing his son to turn around and find his way back. .
Li Qinzai's heart felt blocked when he heard that. You are crying in the wrong grave. I am the one who should be grateful. You come to me to fulfill your wish. I don't care whether you are a vegetarian or not. How much does the incense cost?
In comparison, Xue Na's temperament is a bit hard to describe.
I don’t know how much business this guy has made, but now he can be regarded as completely transformed.
The jade belt around her waist is studded with gold and jade, the hairpin on her head is made of white jade inlaid with emeralds, she wears two huge gold bracelets on her wrists, and her clothes are also embroidered with many gold threads.
The whole person looks like a walking cash machine. No matter where he goes, he seems to be sending out a warm invitation to the bandits around him.
Come on, come on, I have money, come and rob me...
"Brother Jingchu, you want to hurt me!" Xue Ne came up and gave him a bear hug.
Li Qinzai pushed him away in disgust.
There is a rotten copper smell that makes people... quite like it.
"How much money have you made recently?" Li Qinzai asked, looking Xue Ne up and down.
Xue Ne showed a reserved and proud look, smiled and posed, unintentionally revealing the pair of gold bracelets on his wrists: "No more, no more, just trying to make a living in Hukou."
