The emperor himself stepped down as the referee, and the sworn hatred was instantly eliminated.
I dare not eliminate it, at least Prince Teng does not have the guts to disobey the emperor.
Prince Teng was destined to be unpopular from the moment he was born.
The reason is simple. He is the product of Li Shimin's house arrest after the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
After killing his brothers and forcing his own father to abdicate, Li Shimin generously allowed historians to write it into the history books, giving the magnificent Zhenguan period a bloody and cruel beginning.
Li Yuan abdicated and was under house arrest in the palace ever since. Li Shimin presented Li Yuan with countless beauties who captivated the country and the city in those years.
The matter was irreversible, and the elderly Li Yuan decided to lie down, so he was drunk and dreaming every day, doing the most ridiculous things with beautiful women day and night.
King Teng was born during this period. Li Yuan had a total of twenty-two sons in his life. Most of his sons were born after being placed under house arrest in Taiji Palace. King Teng ranked last. Although he was also named king, his status was not as great as you can imagine. Know.
Prince Teng struggled to get rid of his absurd birth background throughout his life.
However, when facing the orthodox emperor, he still felt inferior from the bottom of his heart.
This inferiority complex can easily extend into submission.
So Li Zhi said something very subtle, and Prince Teng immediately changed his tune.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, Prince Teng's obedience to the emperor came from the bottom of his heart, and he blurted it out naturally without even thinking.
The stagnant air in the hall suddenly turned into snow in the spring breeze, and the clouds dispersed and the sky opened with Prince Teng's "misunderstanding".
Li Qinzai smiled kindly at Prince Teng. Of course, he was not a man who was arrogant when he was in power. Li Zhi helped him with a secret poke, and Li Qinzai took advantage of the situation and asked both of them to step down.
"It's my fault that your Highness's residence was burned down. I will bear all the losses to your residence, and I will pay compensation tomorrow. Please forgive me for the offence, Your Highness."
Prince Teng had a fake smile on his face, which made his cheeks sore.
"It doesn't matter, haha, young and frivolous, it is inevitable to be Meng Lang, let it be over."
After being beaten by Li Zhi, King Teng behaved generously and well-behaved.
He was obviously a victim, but he went to the palace to complain but was hurt twice. King Teng felt particularly regretful at this moment.
If I had known this, why should I complain so politely? If he set fire to my mansion, and I set fire to the British mansion, wouldn’t I be in default?
Even if Li Jilai comes to theorize, I will still be reasonable. Are you afraid that he won't succeed?
Li Qinzai showed an expression of admiration: "His Highness is generous and broad-minded, which is admirable."
Prince Teng's mood relaxed. When he heard other people's compliments, he subconsciously stroked his beard and smiled proudly and reservedly. As soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly came back to his senses.
He burned down my house, forced me to sign a marriage contract, and almost gave up half my life. In the end, I was forced to forgive him... So, what is this king so proud of?
So Prince Teng suddenly sat up straight and wanted to show a sneer. However, he suddenly remembered Li Zhi's beating just now, and the sneer suddenly turned into a sincere smile. The two expressions changed so abruptly that the smile on his face The muscles have a weird, twisted appearance.
Li Zhi and Li Qinzai stared at Prince Teng's face without blinking. Seeing that Prince Teng looked like he was crying and laughing at the same time, they were puzzled.
With this weird expression on Prince Teng's face, does he want to cry or laugh?
With Li Zhi's help, Li Qinzai naturally struck while the iron was hot and tentatively said: "As for the marriage certificate..."
Prince Teng's expression suddenly froze, and then he said sharply: "The marriage contract does not count! It was forced to sign by Wu Minzhi, a thief like this. Don't even think about it!"
Li Qinzai said innocently: "I didn't say anything..."
At this time, King Teng became extremely determined. He bowed to Zhi Li and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being disrespectful. My daughter, the head of Jinxiang County, will never marry a married woman. Your Majesty will indulge in the crime of punishing me, and I will do whatever I want." It’s not easy either!”
Li Zhi glanced at Li Qinzai a little awkwardly, and said with a stern expression: "I didn't say anything... Well, I'm not an unreasonable person, right?"
Li Qinzai nodded and said seriously: "Exactly."
Wu Minzhi on the side was unhappy. The marriage certificate was the fruit of his own hard work and madness. Why didn't he just say it?
"His Royal Highness Prince Teng, no matter how the marriage certificate came from, it was signed by His Highness himself after all. How can it not be counted?"
It was okay for Wu Minzhi not to speak, but when he opened his mouth, the painful memories of Prince Teng were brought back. Prince Teng immediately jumped up when he heard the words: "You, you are such a thief, you have the nerve to speak? I was almost killed by you, you risked your life They coerced me into signing this marriage contract, and I will definitely repay this hatred!"
Faced with King Teng's rage, Wu Minzhi didn't care.
He wasn't even afraid of Empress Wu, so why was he afraid of a humble vassal king like Prince Teng?
So Wu Minzhi curled his lips and said: "It's all as long as His Highness regrets it. You don't have to count it, but once the marriage contract is signed, it is signed. When word spreads, others will not care how it was signed. If you sign the marriage contract and don't acknowledge it, the world will be happy." Everyone, can your Highness stop it?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.
Li Qinzai shut up obediently, Li Zhi looked left and right, and shut up wisely. Empress Wu had a sneer on her lips, and she didn't know who it was aimed at.
However, Prince Teng's face quickly turned red, and then gradually turned white, with a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.
Wu Minzhi's words don't sound good, but they are true.
The marriage contract has been signed and spread to the world. If Prince Teng goes back on his word, not only will his own reputation be ruined, but the reputation of the head of Jinxiang County will also be implicated. Will the Yu family still be willing to marry Prince Teng at that time?
As Wu Minzhi said, once the marriage document is signed, it is signed. No one in the world cares about the process of signing the marriage document. What others hear and see is that Prince Teng reneged on his promise to marry.
The silent Li Qinzai also figured this out and couldn't help but cast a surprised glance at Wu Minzhi.
I originally thought that this guy forced Prince Teng to sign the marriage contract because he went crazy and lost his mind. After all, he was so high that he could do anything he did while racing.
Unexpectedly, there was such a trap for Wu Minzhi to force Prince Teng to sign the marriage contract.
Signing the marriage document creates an established fact, and arbitrarily seizes the initiative in the whole matter. No matter what the origin of the marriage document is, or whether the person Jinxiang wants to marry is married or not, in short, if it is signed, it is a fact.
In this age that pays attention to contracts, it tightly binds the credibility, reputation, moral character, character, etc. of individuals and families together and cannot be separated, and both will be damaged.
A marriage document is a contract written in black and white.
Seeing Prince Teng's angry and struggling look, Li Qinzai's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
He likes the princess of Jinxiang County, and he longs to get married to her.
At this moment, hope is already in front of him. As long as he adds more fire and Li Zhi delivers a few coercive words from the side, there is a high possibility that King Teng will have to give in.
However, is this kind of success really what Li Qinzai hoped for?
What's the difference between blackmailing Jinxiang's father with a marriage certificate and Huang Shiren forcing Yang Bailao to sell his daughter?
If King Teng is forced to agree today, this matter will become a demon that he and Jin Xiang will never let go of for the rest of their lives.
"The marriage contract doesn't count." Li Qinzai said suddenly.
Everyone was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Li Qinzai's tone became more and more firm, and he repeated again: "The marriage certificate does not count."
After saying that, he took out the marriage certificate from his arms, stabbed it, and tore it up.
